indication that City Hall will have one of
the largest audiences within its doors to-
night it ever seated.
The competing lodges in working the
ranks of the order according to the new
ritual are Fort George lodge of Bruins
wick and Ivanhoe lodge of this city.

The Boisterous Atlantic.

Is terror to tinid voyagers, scarcely less on
account OF the peris of the deep than the
almost certainty OF sea sickness. The best
curative of NAL de noer is Hostetter'S Stomach
Bitters, which settles the stomach at once and
prevents its disturbance. To all travellers
and tourists. whether by sea or land, it
present happy medium between the nauseous
or Intellectual resources of the medicine chest,
and the problematical benefit derivable from an
unmedcated alcoholic stimuant, no matter
how pure. The jarring of railroad car often
produces stomachdisorders akin to that causedic
by he rolling of a ship. For this the Bitters is
q prompt and certain remedy. The use OF a

stomach and bowels, Hosetter's Stomach
Bitters mixed with impure water nullifes its
and other prejudical influences Of climate or
atmosphere. as well as the effects of exposure
and fatigue. Use IT for kidney complaints,
rheumatism and debility.

Instruction in Swimming.

Arrangements have been made at the
Athletic Club for competent instruction
to those who desire to learn the desira-
BILE art of swimming. Glasses will be
formed Wednesday evenings, commenc-
ing tonight, and Friday afternoons, com
mencing with Friday Of this week. Six
lessons will be given for $500. The
Portland Athletic Club has been an insti-
tuition of good deal Of good to our
city, but it is doubtful if any of the spec
ial advantages its members enjoy are of
more Importance than this. Everyone
should know how to swim, and doubt
less good many members of the club
who have been prevented from learning
to swim either through lack of instruc-
ton or of good and safe opportunity will
take advantage of this arrangement.

Maine women,s Indian Association.


Threatening weather and the press of
housekeeping cares, did not prevent a
little company of the faithful from as
assembling in the vestry of the Plymouth
Free Baptist church, yesterday
afternoon, it being the last meeting Of
the association for the season. The
president, Mrs. Frye, opened the meet
ing in the customary manner, and Mrs.
Foster was appointed secretary pro
tenn. After the reading and acceptance
of the usual reports, the secretary read
the protest of the Indian Rights Associa-
ton of Philadelphia, against the passage
of bill introduced by Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota, and recommend :
ed for passage by majority of the SEN
ate committee on Indian affairs, asking
for the removal of the Lower Brule In
dians to the Rosebud reserve.
"The Lower Brules occupy an excel
lent reservation on the Missouri river,
which the government asked them to ac-
cept, and which they did accept under
the terms of an agreement negotiated
with them by commission, of which
Gen. Crook was a member, in 1889.
About half of the tribe, acting in good
faith upon the invitation of the govern
ment, settled upon these lands, building
houses, tilling the soil and raising cattle.
Now a proposition that has as its object
the abandonment of their homes, and
their removal to another reservation is
urged upon them. A proposition which
we say, without fear of contradiction,
was suggested and formulated by white
men from outside, who aimed to advance
their own personal interests by the pos
session of the Indians lands.''
The reasons justifying this protest
may be brify summarized as follows:
Lit proposes to ratify an agreement which
does not exist.
2.-It is in violation Of the treaty Of 1868.
3.-lt is contrary to the protested policy of
land-in-severalty bill.
Eal4.-lt is in the interest of whites, not In
Sit is opposed by the progressive and CIVIL
lied element among the Lower Brule Indians
Cit has the diSapproval Of the acting COM
missioner of Indian affairs
An account of the work of DR.. John
son, an accomplished and beautiful
young woman, appointed by the govern
ment last fall to the position of field ma
iron among the Missouri Indians of
Southern California, was listened to with
much interest.
At the close of the meeting the presi-
dent made an earnest appeal for individ-
ual work on the part of members of this
association during the coming summer
vacations.
Adjourned to meet at the call of the
secretary.

McCarthy's Mishaps.

The attraction at Portland Theatre
next Friday and Saturday will be enc
Carthys Mishaps,' farce that comes
recommended by the press throughout
the country as a play that keeps the au-
ditor in state of merriment from be-
ginning to end. The organization is one
of the very strongest presenting farce
comedy, having in the assembly num-
Der of well known fun makers. headed
by Barney Farguson, the funniest of all
stage Irishmen. The Detroit News said
on it's issue of January %, ''McCarthy's
Mishaps" is farce, replete with side
splitting jokes and ludicrous situations
that caused the large audience to roll in
a spasm of laughter last night. Barney
Ferguson was as funny as ever, and Mar
garet and Richard proved to be wonder
fully clever"
Be1shazzar.
Don't forget Belshazzar at Vaughan
street church Thursday evening. Mr..
Samuel T. Eveleth as Belshazzar will of
course, be well worth giving extra pains
to hear. Mr.. E. M. Waterhouse one of
Portland's finest tenors, will be heard to
advantage in Zerubbabels solos; Miss
Rosamond Mcclellan as Nitocus is espe-
cially fine. The chorus is working hard.
and will be in fine tune. under the direc-
ton of Rev. c. Everett Bean.
Concert at Kotzschmar Hall
The concert to be given at Kotzschmar
Hall this evening, under the auspices of
the Imperial Mandolin and Guitar Club.
will prove one of the marked musical
events of the winter. Mr.. Aptommas
the harper, is doubtless at the head of
players on his instrument in this coun-
try. He has appeared in this city sever
al times, and has always created great
enthusiasm. Nine. Aptomnas is also a
fine player. Miss Clarke possesses a
grand soprano voice. In the West,she
received most fattering offers to connect
herself with the leading church choirs
of Chicago and other of our largest
cities. Her voice has been trained by
the leading continental teachers. Tick
cts can be obtained at Stockbridge's.
