ON TIE wHARvEs.
Prof O1drini is Here superin5ending the
Unloading of the Transport = Large
Vessels at the Wharves.

The Grand Trunk wharf was crowded
with people yesterday afternoon who
came down to view the Erldano. The
wharf at that time was place well worth
visiting, on other accounts as well as on
account of the Italian visitors. On the
east side lay the majestic Allan liner
Partisan, Respondent in new paint and
polished brass work, and a far longer
and handsomer vessel than the transport.
On the other side of the wharf was the
Dominion liner Vancouver, fine large
boat, lying alongside another fine vessel,
the Sarnia, into which she was trans
ferring the new shaft. The loading and
unloading of these four big steamers
made scene of industry rarely witness
ed on the wharves.
The Eridano was rather a disappoint-
ment to those who expected to see a
spick and span man-of-war. Her
paint and brass work were dingy, and
the unloading of tine great boxes of ex
hibits gave her an appearance wholly
commercial.
Prof. Alexander Oldlini, special dele
gate for Italian exhibits transportation
to tine Worlds Fair, arrived yesterday
noon and will oversee the transhipment
of the goods.
To reporter he stated that the Cottage
City would bring 921 packages tomorrow,
the Manhattan $40 packages Thursday
and the Cottage City 129 packages Satur-
day. These with the cargo Of the Erida-
no making in all about five thousand
packages will comprise Italy's exhibit.
Prof. Oldrini is a very pleasant gentle
man to meet He has taken rooms at the
Falmouth Hotel and will remain till the
last package is on it's way to Chicago,
where he will proceed there himself.
Prof. Oldrini is member of
the American Academy of Political
and Social Sciences; National Geographic
Society, U. S.; Geographic Society of
Italy; photographic Society of France;
Elem'ry Instruction Society:of Paris, etc.,
and makes his headquarters at Washing
ton, d. G.. He has had varied expert
ence and seems to be able to speak all
modern languages fuently.
Commander Ricotti and his officers are
very busy men just at present and while
they are ever pleased to receive visitors
they will be more at liberty and the ship
will be in better condition in two or three
days. There were many lady and gentle
men callers yesterday and Commander
Ricotti entertained them most graciously.
An officer of the ship visited Fort
Preble yesterday afternoon and returned
the courtesies of Lieut.. Rogers.
The Sarnia was swung from pier to
pier preparatory to placing in position
the new shaft which was brought over
by the Vancouver. The Partisan is near
ly loaded and will sail Thursday. 1t is
understood she will carry several passen-
gers from here.

Fire on Green Street.

The alarm from box Sc yesterday
afternoon was caused by fire in G. B.
Wish's junk store. in the old J. J.
Frye building, situated near the foot of
Green street. 1t was caused by an over
heated stove. Mr.. Wish's stock was
damaged by water. He valued it at
$1,000, and said the insurance would n OF
cover the loss. The damage to the build
ing will not exceed 5000, and is covered
by insurance in the Insurance Company
of North America, with Dow & Pink
ham. The Westbrook cars were delayed
some time by the lines of hose running
across the track.

One of tbe quietest, but at the same
time most active contests that is going on
in the Democratic ranks is that for the
Portland post Office. City Marshal Geo.
L. SWEET has been a candidate for long
time, and it is said that he has the sup
port OF Morton and Donovan, as well as
of several other of the state politicians
who are anxious to see q powerful Demo
cratic machine built up in Maine, and
justly estimate the abilities of the au-
thor of the blue ballot scheme in the
line OF carrying caucuses and getting out
the "boys." If Morton, Donovan d Co.
are to have the disposal Of the Maine
patronage, Marshal SWEET will be the
next postmaster. But there are strong
candidates against him. Hon. J. S. Pal
mer. who was postmaster under Cleve-
land before, is not making an active can
vass, but has many friends among the
also said to have the.friendship of the
Hon. Kimball Eastman, the local distrib-
utor of small post office plums. A more
active candidate than Mr.. Palmer is OK
Councilman N. f. Hicks. He does not
boast a great support among the machine
politicians, but has a large strength
among the business men of the city. His
friends have not been letting any grass
grow under their feet, and when Mr..
SWEET musters his politicians, Mr.. Hicks
will have his business men. The Hicks
men say that the post Office is local af-
fair, and that the selection of a post
master should not be left to politicians
like Morton and Donovan, who live in
other parts of the state.

Visitors at the furniture store of T. f.
Foss g. Co., on Exchange street are
much interested in novel article of fur
niture called the Whitney Phinney
Columbian toilet stand, the invention of
two Maine young men. This stand
seems at first appearance a beautiful
oaken table, square in form and graceful
in design; but the lifting of a cover dis
closes set bowl, a mirror. towel rack
and an adjustable water urn that rises
into place by an ingenious mechanism.
The device is admirably suited for hotels

bia7tion articles of furniture. Tt will be
exhibited at the Columbian Exposition.

PORTLAND, April IL, 1898.
T is a very easy mat
ter to dress well
and cheaply. The
whole secret is knowing
what, when and where to
buy.
In view of the fact that
this store carries an in
comparably larger stock
and more than double the
variety Of fine Underwear
kept by any other store in
Portland, added to the
equally well known fact
that our prices for every
thing are as low as SINH
lar values are sold for
anywhere, we are in a
position to offer advan-
tages in the way of selec-
ton not to be found else
where.
The talk this year is [
largely on Jaeger's be-
cause that leads, more
over ours is the only
store in the city that's al
lowed to sell it. It's
probable the nearest to
absolute purity Of any of
the wool underclothing,
because it is strictly all
a0ooI is not 'medicated,"
and has no coloring mat
ter about it.
The Jaegar principle is
''wool all the year round
and we bring it before
you at a time when COM
mon sense dictates it any
how---you apply the prin-
cipal, we supply the I'M
derwear.
There's plenty here be-
sides the Jaeger's, and
beginning al SOC. Inere
are more than thirty
styles and prices to con-
fer about when you get

many desirable things.

LONDON. Oct Rev. Benjamin Jowett,
N. A. LID. late vice chancellor of the
University of Edinburgh, died today.
Benjamin Jowett was born at Gambler
well, England. in 1si7, and was educated
~ Oxford. He became tutor at that uni
verslty in 1872, and the same year
was ordained. He afterward served
IS an examiner of classical
schools and on the commission for
examinations for the Indian civil service.

Greek in 1855 on the Recommendation Of
Lord Paimerston, and master of Balliol
college in 1870. He was vice chancellor
of the University of Edinburgh from 1SS2
10 1886. In 1855 he published q
Commentary on the Epistles of st. Paul
to the Thessasonians, Galatians and
Romans" In 1857 he published an article
on 1.-The Inspiration of Scripture, which
not only called forth severe criticism on ac-
count of its rationalism, but was the ground
of an accusation of heresy. for which he
was tried and acquitted in the chancellor
court of the University OF Oxford. His
most important work is q translation of
the Dialogues of Plato" More recently
he published translations of Thucydides
and Aristotle. His style is admirably
clear and his scholarship unimpeachable.l ]
