Their Day is Past.

A boot and shoe manufacturer says
that the long-leggcd boot has had its
day and gone the way of many other
things which were good in their time,
but have been left behind by progress
and the ever-changing styles. Said the
manufacturer: sit hasn't been long
since we were making lots of long
legged boots. They were in special de-
mand among the farmers. Today l
know of but one OF two factories in
Maine that are making any of this class
of goods and they are making only a
few. Time was, and it hasn't been a
great while, that there was no call for
low shoes except for summer wear, while
now thew are in demand and are worn
the year round. Now, when the farmer
or teamster wants leg boot he calls for
rubbers, felt OF goods of that sort now

The annual address before the Port
land Benevolent Society will be deliv-
cred at the First Parish church on Sun
day evening next at 7.3O o'clock by Rev.
John G. Perkins. This society was
founded in 1903 and is one of the oldest,
if not the Oldest benevolent society in
this city, and has for all these many
years quietly and unostentatiously pur-
sued the even tenor of its way, dispens-
ing its charity to numberless beneficial
ries, many of whom have seen better
days, and are amongst our most respect
able citizens. Let us give them a good
and generous contribution: with the full
assurance that it will be iudiciously dis
tributed by the managers to those who
are greatly in need of it, and will be the
means of preventing much suffering at
this inclement season of the year among
the worthy poor of our city.

Differences of Opinion Regarding Dispo-
sal of Legislative Telegraph Offices.

sdA u a1tSISlatlSe 61eSTAPIi OIhccS
The governors council committee on
public buildings was called upon Monday
evening to arbitrate concerning the dis
posal of the two telegraph offices at the
State House between the Western Union
and the Commercial. The regular office
was occupied by the Commercial during
the legislature two years ago and one
was built in the old rotunda for the
Western Union. This year the Western
Union was first on the ground, it is sup
posed, for it is said it got permission to
occupy the regular Office, and did so.
Tuesday, however, Hon. Albion Little
and Colonel H. S. ;Osgood of Portland
went down and objected. The council
committee gave the Interested parties a
hearing, at which the Western Union
was represented by its local manager,
Mr.. W. P. Walsh.
The contest was determined in a novel
way, by lot. Councillor Simpson pre-
pared five envelopes, three Of which
were blank, one Western Union Tele-
graph Company, the other the Com
mercial Union Telegraph Company. All
were placed in Councillor Kings hat and
Councillor Spofford drew the first en-
velope, in which he got a blank. The
second drawn was the Western Union
and this company was given the tele-
graph Office.

OUR POPULATION.
The Sources Whence 1t Is Recruited-The
Native Portland Stock Is Reinforced
From Country Towns and From Foreign
Countries.

The last legislature passed law pro-
viding thorough system for collecting
data relating to vital statistics in the
cities and towns of Maine. In every case
of marriage, birth OF death an elaborate
certificate has to be filed with the city or
town clerk In case of marriage fourteen
questions have to be answered, relating
to parentage, color, occupation, nation
atty, age, etc. Fifteen questions have
to be answered in every case of birth
and sixteen in case of death. City Clerk
Russell has tabulated his returns for
births and deaths in a form which adj
mits of their ready inspection. These
returns are not quite complete, but APP
proximately there have been in the last
year about as many deaths as births.
each footing up to about S25. In former
years the deaths have often exceeded the
births in number.
The new system of collecting vital
statistics reveals some interesting things
in connection with these deaths. OF
about ST, whose nativity is known 300
were born in Portland, 322 in other
places in the United States, and 1856 in
foreign countries, largely in Ireland and
the Maritime Provinces. These figures
show what a large proportion of the
population of the city comes from other
places in the United States, especially
from other towns in Maine, and from
foreign countries. Few of those dying
came from other states in the union, but
many from the country towns of Maine
The tabulation of the births reveals
some more interesting facts. Of S25
children born in the city in the last year,
the S25 fathers are divided as follows as
to nativity; only 225 were born in Port
land, 279 in other places in Maine and
the United States, and 321 in foreign
countries. The foreigners were born
principally in Ireland, but many in the
Maritime Provinces, and quite a number
in Russia, Germany and Denmark. The
native fathers born outside of Portland,
come principally from country towns of
Maine. The S25 mothers are divided as
follows in regard to nativity, 232 Port
land, 254 from other places in the United
States, and $50 from foreign countries.
These figures show the tendency of
the city's population to change, especial
ly to reinforce itself from the country
towns of the state and from foreign
countries. Few more than a quarter of
