The Press Portfolios.

While the illustrations in ''Holy Land
Photographer are not quite equal to
those of the other PRESS portfolios, the
series is in great demand, as the region
which it covers has never before been so
fully illustrated. Palestine, both mod
ern and historic, is photographed, repro
ducing the exact scenes of the great
events of the Bible. Every point of in
terest in the land of history will be given
in the series. There will be seven num-
bers of 16 pages each, giving 112 photo
graphs. Besides being of interest as en-
cravings, the series will be of great val
ne to Bible students and teachers, and
many of these are taking the set as they
are issued.s A lady writes, in ordering
one of the numbers, '"They will be very
useful to me in my Sunday school class. &

AN UNEASY FEELING.
Lively Business Contention in Progress
Throughout the State of Maine.

There is a. business contention in
progress in this state, and there is no
telling what the final result may be. For
many years the local hotel dealers in
Lewiston have obtained their supplies of
provisions and groceries from the retail
houses in that city. This custom has
recently been disregarded giving way to
more favorable plan. The wholesale
houses.of Portland in attempting to add
to their trade have approached the Lew
iston hotel proprietors and made success
full bargains. The proprietors, with an
eye on the alert to business will, of
course, patronize the dealers where the
most goods can be obtained for the least
money.
This policy is unpalatable to the tastes
of the Lewiston merchants, who have
been relying on their local hotel trade
for long time. AS a consequence the
retailers have banded together and have
notified the Portland wholesalers that
boycott will be waged if the recently
enacted policy is to continue. That is.
the following plan will be adopted. None
of the Lewiston retailers will obtain
their goods from Portland, where sup
plies have always been obtained ii the
hotel trade is to be catered to by Port
land parties.e The wholesale houses OF
this city have made no definite answer
AS vet. If the old custom is not restored
in Lewiston it is said the retailers will
probably hereafter purchase their stock
of..goods from Boston merchants.

Washington's Birthday.


The celebration of the birthday of the
Father of His Country was marked in
Portland by general cessation of bust
ness in the afternoon, the display of
flags on the public buildings and club
houses, and in some cases by display of
bunting on vessels in port.
In the day time the boys made merry
with their horns. and in the evening there
was the usual pandemonium on Congress
street until late hour. Every kind of
an instrument that would make noise
was called into play and there were
really more women and girls participat-
ing in the tumult than men.
The bonfires burned brightly on every
hand, and abounded from Bramhall to
Munjoy and from Back Bay to the front
harbor.
The Emerald Associates adorned their
club house on Union street with many
of the decorations from the late Maine
Central ball, and Chinese lanterns, and
kept open house for their friends all the
evening.I

SAME OLD GAME.
An Unsuspecting Canadian Lends Forty
Dollars to a Stranger Who Disappears.

A man from Canada came into the
police station yesterday in big hurry
and wild-eyed with amazement. He had
come through from Canada yeste1 d ay and
was to sail for England on the steamer
which was to go at one O'Clock. AS it
was then about ten minutes to one, he
was in great hurry. In GREATNESS
haste he told Deputy Marshal Sterling
that he had met at the steamer very
obliging gentleman, who was also going
across. Finding the stranger pleasant
company the man from Canada accepted
an invitation to walk up town. AS they
went up Market street the stl anger re-
mem bered that he had bundle in one
of the buildings, for which he must pay
forty dollars He did not have the cash,
hut did have a check for $40. Would
the man from Canada take the check AS
security and lend him the $40 for few
moments. The accommodating Canadian
at once drew eight pounds from his
pocket and gave it to the stranger, VIII"
disappeared up the stairway of Printers
Exchange This is the favorite resort of
bunco steerers. as there is passageway
from Market to Exchange street, and the
bunco man, leaving his victim on
Market street, Can at once get away.
Many strangers come and go every hour
on these stairways, SO detection is i'm
possible.
After waiting a long time for his COM
panion to reappear, the Canadian realized
that he had been duped He found the
police; but by that time the swindler
had ample time &c escape.
