Portland provident Association.

That we have had a long and severe
winter is well attested by the work of
the Portland Provident Association. A
brief review of that work may not be un-
interesting. The rooms were opened
December and were closed March 81.
The agent, Rev. w. T. Phelan, was in
attendance each week day from IL to II
and frequently to / o'clock to receive
applicants for aid. Each week a COM
mittee of two of the board OF managers
was appointed to be present with him to
consider the applications made. The
following statement will show what was
done: Applicants assisted at the rooms
from one to five times, III; representing
by families, $50 persons, of whom 25S
were adults and PSI children and youths.
Orders for coal given out, each order
being for one-half ton, 1T, being so more
than last year. Orders for wood given
out, So; orders for groceries and provis-
ions, 234, being 20 more than last year.
To destitute school children, 80 pairs
new shoes and u pairs rubbers, and of
new and secondhand clothing, over 400
serviceable garments. OF those who APP
piled for aid go were new cases, some of
them being formerly among our well-to-
do citizens and, in their prosperity, will
ing contributors to the association, but
who have been obliged to succumb to
the burden of ill health and ill fortune.
Thus, in it's quiet way, this noble
charity has done its daily work for aid
ing the worthy poor, Protestant and
Catholic alike, expanding even about
500 more than the $1,177.S3 collected
from our citizens by Agent Phelan. All
who have thus contributed may have the
satisfaction of knowing that what they
have given has been well bestowed and
they and all others not now contribu-
tors, are urged to remember the good
work done when the familiar circulars
come to them next fall by willing and
generous response.

A Woman in the Water.

Officer Conlan heard an outcry from
the water near the Boston 6 Maine
wharf late last night and with several
others who also heard the cries, pulled
out of the water middle aged woman
who was more frightened than hurt. She
was taken to the station where she said
she was Mrs. katherine Currier. AT
first she said she wanted to die. Later
she concluded that she was not in her
right mind when she walked off the
wharf.

Revised ADVERTISEMENT Of the Dimooa.

Thomas W. Hyde, William G. Davis
and John B. Coyle, who were appointed
by Justice Nelson to reappraise the
steamer Fl. F. Dimock, which ran into
W. Fl. Vanderbilt's steam yacht Alva,
have fixed the value of the Dimock at
the time of the collision to have been
$s5,395.S3, and her present value $780,
600. The three appraisers first named
placed the value of the Dimock at the
time of the collision at $4,000. Mr..
Vanderbilt objected that this valuation
was too low, and the vessel was reap
praised. The Metropolitan Steamship
Company has fled a petition to limit its
liability to Mr.. Vanderbilt to the value
of the Dimock, and that is why there is
so much trouble about her valuation.

FRAUD REB[IKED.

counter, the Democrats rallied for hard
fight. They had their forces well organ
lied and capably handled, and every
thing that work could do was done. But
all their organization could not control
the consciences of their voters, and
many undoubtedly evinced their con-
tempt and disgust at the fraud by voting
for Mr.. Baxter.
Ex-Warden ''Tom'' Harper lowered
about the ward room all day like the
ghost of an evil genius, but there was a
conspicuous absence of anything SAVIOR

The Celebration.
When the result became known Repub-
lican enthusiasm found vent in grand
celebration which was composed of ele-
ments that collected spontaneously in
various portions of the city. The Ward
3 boys gathered in their quarter; in
Ward / the boys of the Harrison and
Reid Drum Corps, with their old drum
major, Charlie George Washington John
son, at their head, and marshalled by
two horsemen, R. Fl. Hardy and George
II. johnson, poured down the hill, bring
ing great procession with them; and
finally, in front of the Lincoln Club
rooms all the professions gathered be-
hind the Cadet Band, which took its
joyous way up Congress street, under
Captain Gilchrist. The Young Mems
Republican Club had flung the Stars and
Stripes to the breeze, and were serenad-
ed. The Portland Club burned fireworks
and were loudly cheered.
Then the procession started for the
home of Mayor-elect Baxter, on Deering
street. Mr.. Baxter had been receiving
congratulations all the evening, and par
ties of friend and neighbors were coming
and going when the procession arrived,
glorious in martial strains and splendid
with fireworks.
In response to the loud cheers Mr..
Baxter came forward and from the steps
made brief but very appropriate rec
ignition of the kindness of his friends
in calling upon him. He thanked them
for calling upon him with such demon
strations of kindness, and said he re-
joiced that he was an American citizen.
citizen of Maine, and citizen Of Port
land. The people of this city had on
this day indicated their right to free
vote and a fair count. Loud cheers.
In conclusion, Mr.. Baxter said that in
the year to come he should need the
good will and support of those who had
supported him SO well in the day inst
closed; and, in return, he would promise
to do his duty to the best of his ability
towards all the citizens of Portland.
Loud cheers.
The procession then took up it's line of
march, passing down Congress street to
Exchange, where the PRESS was sere-
naded. Thence they went to the Fall
mouth and paid the same compliment to
Governor Cleayes.
Then the boys started for Munjoy Hill
to wake the echoes about the houses of
the stalwart Republicans who have
thwarted fraud and driven ont the work
ers of fraud. They also cheered the
house of ex-Councilman Charles Dunn.
Jr., who alone of all the prominent Dem
ocrats in that region wouldn't be bull
dozed into the untenable position of
holding onto an Office to which he was
not fairly elected. The boys serenaded
Mr.. James Cunningham, who responded
briefly and pointedly, Messrs. Bracket,
Tenney, Fuller and Griffin, and then dis
banded.
1t was glorious Republican day.

Excursions for Women Students.

The New York association for
sending young women, advanced
students, artists, teachers and skill
ed artisans, in parties of seventeen
at a time, for eight days stay at
Chicago, has raised nearly $4,000
for its two months house rent,
maintenance and travelling eX-
penses. The expense account is:
Excursion tickets, with berths in
sleeping car, $3S; meals on train,
$3.50; each way, S.; lodging in Chi
cagO, So; two admissions daily to
Fair, SIS; meals in Chicago, $3.50
daily, $l2; car fares, 50; extras, ac-
cident insurance, 50; total, $40. In
their house the travellers are cared
for by a competent woman. An
other, who is experienced in con-
Quoting parties of tourists, meets
the strangers on their arrival,
spends 3 days on the fair grounds
with each party, and sees that they
are safely settled in their places in
the cars on the return journey.

Curling by Electricity.

From the New York Record.
The electrical curling iron is
very simple. The wires conduct
the electricity into the little stand
into which the tOngs are thrust.
The latter are made the proper
temperature by heat, which is gen.
Grated by the resistance of the
wires to the current.
The stands are about two inches
high and are usually nickel-plated,
although some of those manu-
featured by a firm in Berlin are
plated with gold and have hand
some handles. In travelling the
irons and stands occupy only a
very small space in a satchel. At
tached to the stand is silk cord,
which may be adjusted to any in
candescent wire after screwing
off the little globe. One advantage
is that the heat of the tongs is al
ways under the perfect control of
the user.
1t is an easy step from the most
improved means of hair cutting
and dressing to the latest ways
and modes which are prevailing in
the art. Says an authority on the
subject.
"There is nothing distinguished
in fringe or in curly bang. Yet
to those it is difficult to say how
women can express their gratitude
SO great is it's sum. They have
softened and given charm to the
feminine complexion, however for
bidding, that nothing else has
been able to do. The popularity
has from time to time suffered
temporary placement, but it in

The Nutmeg Dangerous.

Albany Express.
Cases are not iHfrequeatly re.
ported in which children and some:
times grown persons are poisoned
by the free use of nutmegs, it not
being generally known that this
article of common household use is
really deadly poison. This is
true, in fact, of most common con-
diments, but when misused, these
articles, such as pepper, capsicum,
etc, are so obnoxious to the taste,
excepting when taken in very
minute quantities, that the con-
sumner is warned, in a very positive
manner, before he had an opportu-
nifty to do himself serions injury.
This is not the case, however, with
the nutmeg. This nut, which con-
tains poisonous principle of a
very deadly character, may be
consumed, without inconvenience,
in quantities sufficient to produce
fatal consequences, and it is sur
prising, not that death occasional
ly occurs from it's use, but that
deaths are not more frequent. A
fatal case has been recently report
ed, in which boy of years fell
into cOmatOSe condition, after
eating two nutmegs, and died with
in twelve hours.
