FRIDAY, APRIL %.

THE schooner Aloha arrived yes
terday afternoon, fourteen days out
from San Francisco. She was
boarded by an ADVERTISER repre-
sentative while off port, and the
one days later news of the worlds
doings which she brought will be
found in our news columns. The
Aloha left San Francisco Thurs
day afternoon, and up to that hour
neither the Rush nor the Mariposa
had been heard from. The latter
steamer with the news of the low
ering of the flag, probably arrived
in San Francisco few hours after
the departure of the Aloha.

THE WESTERN AND HAWAIIAN
INVESTMENT COMPANY,

The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1893-04-28

The organization of a company
of eharpshooters, made up Of busi-
ness men, property owners and
others who have the general well
fare of the country at heart, is sig
nificant in more senses than one.
While the members of this compa~
ny, entirely unsolicited and of theia.
own volition, have volunteered their
services to the Provisional Govern.
ment, it is with the understanding
that they are tc be called on only
when actual necessity arises, and
with that understanding of course
they will not be subjected to the
usual military drills and guard
duty. Nor should they; for the
men who have SO nobly come for
ward and placed their lives at the
disposal of the Provisional Govern
ment are mostly of that class who
cannot leave their business inter-
ests without serious loss to them
selves and inconvenience to their
families. We consider the forma
ton of this company one of the
highest tributes that has yet been
paid to the cause of good govern
ment, and predict that if trouble
does arise, which no one for mo-
ment anticipates, the new company
will render a good account of itself.

repositories Of the most import
ant work done in the service. The
Secretary has general supervision
of the finances and of the Savings
Bank service, and should know
every detail as well or better than
the Postmaster himself. The duties
of the mail delivery clerk are al
most as important, as he has not
only to see that all mails 60 out
and arrive as they should, and that
every letter and paper is properly
and promptly delivered, but is
responsible for the sales of postage
stamps. 1t is only long and in
dustrious service that can fit these
two officers to perform their duties
properly to the public as well as to
the Government. There are incum-
bents of these two positions who
have held them in the London and
Washington post offices for thirty
or forty years.

The Post Office, of all Gov
eminent departments, should
be neutral territory, from which
active partizanship is banished,
and where all, democrat or mon
archist, rich or poor, white or
black, are treated alike, and re-

1t is true that postmasters are
often removed in the United
States, as they are unfortunately
allowed to be strong partizans, but
not so with the subordinate officers,
who are rarely changed.

Sold on Their Merits.

Machines manufactured by the Bel
KNAPP Motor Company of this city, now
on exhibition at the Worlds Fair, are
acknowledged by all good judges to be
of the very best of their kind, as will be
seen by The fact that this company was
given the contract to furnish a plant for
the Kansas State College at Kansas City,
Mo-, to consist of large generator and
motors. The purchase was made by
committee of IL experts sent by the col
lege to the Worlds Fair to examine the
different machines, and they selected
the B. G. standard in preference to all
others, although their bid was over 5000
higher than several other companies, and
the freight on so many tons of machinery
from Maine to Kansas City will be quite
an extra item.
The Belknap Motor Company are to be
congratulated on their good luck. Their
factory will be busy place for some
time to come on this order and others
coming from their exhibit at the World S
Fair.
Among their recent shipments is a go
FL. P. generator to the Kennebec Light
and Heat Company Of Augusta, and
many motors have been sold in Boston,
where they are pronounced by electric
ians to have no superior.
The amount of business that the Bel
KNAPP Motor Company can do in their
B. C. standard motors and dynamos, is
limited only by the capacity of their
plant. They are obliged to have most
of their power coffee mills and water
motors built in 0 ther shops in the city.

A LIVELY TORNADO
Struck the City and Suburbs Saturday
Afternoon.

About ! p. NJ. Saturday clouds
were seen moving in the west, and about
$50 young tornado struck the city,
For few moments the dust blew in
binding sheets SO that one could hardly
see his hand before his face. This was
especially the case with people on the
electric cars en- route fer Cumberland
Mills and the trip up the Presumpscot
The open car was quickly abandoned for
the closed car in front where all were
amply protected from the clouds of
dust and the showers that followed it,
This storm however apparently did but
little damage in Westbrook. In the city
the big sign over Fogg's Ticket Agency
was unhinged. A great limb was torn
off tree opposite Neal Dow's house on
Congress street, and came crashing to
the street, luckily injuring no one. Sew
eral other trees and some fences suffered
while the awnings which were stripped
from their frames were too numerous to
mention.
About four o'clock another tornado
sprang up, which was even more severe
than the first. The barbor was dashed
into foam by the wind and the waves ran
high. This blow was accompanied by
rain. Mr.. Cates's yacht, Brentwood, was
out in the hardest part Of it and found it
difficult work staggering along under
staysail and single reefed mainsail. At
times she was heeling over SO that you
could see half way down to her keel. A
fence in North street was blown down.
A blind on the Mcclellan house on High
street was blown into the street. On
Larch street whole window blew out of
house. A number of signs were blown
down, and several awnings on Congress
street were badly torn.
The old wooden one story house at the
corner Of Cumberland and Lafayette suf-
fered from the loss of shingles blown off
the roof. On Grant street, near State, q
large wooden fence was blown over. A
pile of boards on the made land near
Back Bay were lifted into the air and
thousands of feet blown into the water.
A large tree on Avon street was blown
down, and a horse chestnut tree on
Spring street was snapped off like pipe
stem.
During the squall a fishing boat was
capsized off Pomeroy's Rock and its occu-
pant thrown into the wa er The captain
of the steamer Alice luckily saw the
accident and rescued the man, whose
name could not be learned. A boat was
also capsized off Long Island containing
three persons and they were rescued with
difficulty.
After the last rain the air cooled off
deliciously and lots of sewer and culyert
odors were dispelled.

OBITUARY.
John A. Houston,

The many friends OF Mr.. John A.
Houston, although not altogether UMPIRE
pared for the event, will be grieyed to
learn of his death on Saturday evening
after a long and painful illness, which
he bore throughout with rare patience.
Hopefully and uncomplainingly he suf-
fered, as those know best who have been
closest to him.
Mr.. Houston was born in Milton, N.
S., nearly sixty-nine years ago. In
his early manhood, with that energy of
character which was marked quality
in his life, he determined to push out
into some sphere which would afford
larger opportunities than the home of
his boyhood. And so with no other
capital than willing hands, good health
and clear head he found himself in
the lumber regions of Maine.
His life work really began when leaF-
ing Maine he went to Hayerhill, ass,
and started at the foot of the ladder to
learn the trad of manufacturing in
which business he has since spent his
/
life, excepting short time when being
burnt out in $50 without insurance, he
went into shoe manufacturing. During
nearly the whole of his business career
he has been associated with Mr.. Phineas
Aver, with whom he was in partnership
in Haverhill in 1875, when they were in
duced to move to this city where larger
facilities were offered for carrying on
their f1ourishing business.
By industry, perseverance and the
strictest integrity he, with his partner,
has been able to build up a business that
is credit to the city. This has been
done quietly and unostentatiously, an
doubtless many of our citizens are not
aware of its extent. When the firm of
Aver, Houston & Co. was incorporated
in November of last year he was elected
treasurer of the company.
In 1854 Mr.. Houston married Miss
Harriet A. Emerson of Methuen, who
| survives him an who has been through
life his devoted helpmeet and counsel
| lor.
Of their seven children, four sons and
| tire dau ghters, three of the sons only
are living, all of whom are married. DIR.
A. W. is assistant superintendent of the
| insane hospital at Northampton, Mass.
| Willie B. and Carl S. S. hold positions in
tn factory.
| Mr.. Houston was n prominent
| member of the Church of Christ. He
was one of the first of Its members when
| the society was formed in Portland and
| the church latrly built and occupied by
| it is due large y to his efforts.
Samuel DinGiey.
Mr.. Samuel Dingley, who has been
connected with the railway and mail
service for many years, died suddenly
in Bangor of cholera morbus. He was
on his route, which is between Boston
and Bangor on Thursday. Mr.. Dingley
| was well known in this section OF the
state, having been active in politics for
many years. He was a resident OF
| Standish until short time ago when he
| removed to Bangor. He was about go
wears of age. He leaves widow and
| several children.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Mountain Heiress.


Never in the five years of Mr.. Mccall
lum's management of the Pavilion have
there been such steadily large audiences
as are daily crowding this popular sum
mer theatre. The fifth week of the sea-
son commences today when 1.-THE
Mountain Heiress'' will be presented.
This is one of Mckee Rankin's plays,
and it is only necessary to name the au-
thor to say the play is strong one. 1t
is Western idyl, made up of tears and
laughter, charmingly interviewer in Rau-
kin's own peculiar way. The play is al
so good one to display the talents of
the Pavilion Company. Miss Hamilton
appears in a soubrette part, in which she
is said to be very charming, the first
part of the kind she has essayed this
season, while as "The General, an old
SOAK" Mr.. McCalllm has a character
well calculated to display his talent and
make lots of fun besides. The play will
employ the full personnel of the company
and will be deliberately staged and cos
tuned
Mr.. Denney has striking new spec
ialty which he will put on this week.
Married an Hour.
This is the title of comedy-a farce
comedy-and very funny farce comedy
1t will be played by w. G. Parker's In
tercolonial Stock Company, at the Ca
sine Theatre. Long Island, during this
week. Manager Parker says it is even
funnier than Number 227,n the great
success of last week. If this is possible
there is a great treat in store for Port
land theatre goers, for Number 227''
was certainly the acme of funny comedy.
There will be dance run in connection
with the theatre, and holders of reserved
seat tickets will be admitted to both the
dance and theatre. Take the steamer
Merryconeag at Portland Pier, after
moons at and evenings at 7.3o. 1t runs
direct to Long Island and remains till
the close of the performance.
Sherwood Youth Band.
The Sherwood Youth Band of orphan
boys, ranging in years from to IA, will
give concert at City Hall this evening.
They have travelled over 900 miles by
rail, and wherever they go the people
and press unite in praises of them. The
band is pronounced prodigy by the
highest musical authority. They are
raising means to complete the new asy-
lum at Petersburg, Va. Help them if
you can It is a worthy cause.

Don CARLOS,

Wind and weather permitting, will
make one of his famous ascensions and
leaps at Peaks Island this afternoon. He
was almost ready Saturday afternoon,
when the thunder storm knocked all
hopes OF an ascension out. The fates are
against an ascension this year but Man
ager McCallum, like Gen. Grant, will
flight it out on this line if it takes all
summer If it is fair day it will be a
rare treat.
