THE MARINE SOCIETY.
That Hent in the Venerable Organization
is No Quite Mended Yet-Proceedings
to Begin Before Judge of the Supreme
Court Tuesday.

At the annual dinner of the Marine
Society on Friday evening, the speakers
felieita5ed the society that the little fall
ing out over the banquet would soon
heal. Unhappily they seem to have been
| mistaken on this point Those who OPP
| posed file banquet did not succeed in
| getJinga an injunction, but it is reported
| on good authority that they Will endeav-
or to carry their point in another way,
and that the whole matter will be
brought before Judge Whitehouse, of the
| Supreme court in cham bers on Tuesday.
| The obtctors state that the banquet
Friday evening cost s12s, and they say
| that this as we'll as the 500 that recent
banquets have cost, could be ill-afforded
out of the income of the society. The
permanent fund, which is about 1924, 600
cannot b divided or used, and it's income
only goes for the aid of the widows and
] orphans of members. If the society
should cease to exist the fund would go
| by it's ch,rter to the state
| Those Who advocate the banquet do it
on the gpund that it keeps up interest
in the sodey, and indirectly is worth
more than it costs. In proof of this
they poin to the fact that before the
banouets we're adopted, under the lead
of Capt. Carries H. Chase, the society
was in dwindling condition, while now
| it is much more prosperous.
Yesterday one Of those who object TO
| the banquts requested the PRESS to
publish tle following:
To the Edioy Of the Press:
| In an article that appeared in the
Evening Express Of the 5th inst. en-
titled "A Minority Report" the writer
| made the mistake Of writing $34, 900
where be Intended to write 1924, GOO, not
with any Intention of misleading the
| public, butinadvertently in the haste of
I)compositioL for which he desires to
| apologize I'd the public to whose i'm
partial judgment he is willing to submit.
| The facts are, as the books of the
society shov. the invested funds for
several yeas have huctuated between
| 1924, 900 and $1,000. At the last annual
meeting, during debate, some OF the
members staed that at one time the
market value of the securities of the
society amounted to ls34 1000, and am in
| formed by some of the finance committee
that few years ago it had reached $780,
| 600. But the figures today show sad
| shrinkage. The writer disclaims ever
| charging any oHe with paying for a
| banquet out otthe invested funds OF the
society, but off OF the earnings of that
fund, which Dir constitution and by
laws has set afart for the relief of needy
shipmasters' Widows ana orphans; the
writer well sknws that, according to the
constitution, tie capital of this society
cannot be drawn upon for any purpose,
whatsoever. but is in perpetuity, and in
case of the sociey becoming extinct it
| lapses to the state.

FEVER AND REVOLUTION.

Captain C. b. Norton of the Matthew Baird
Saw Something of Both at Santos-A
Maine Man Who Sticks to His Post Like
a Hero-Sad Fate of Two Maine Cap
tains.
Along the recent arrivals at this port
is the Matthew Baird, commanded by
Captain C.B. Norton, of this city. Cap
tain Norton is just home from voyage
during which he was for long time at
the famous port of Santos, in Brazil.
He was not there during the epidemic
months, August and September being
the most healtful seasons of the year !;
but there was more or less yellow fever,
and considerable revolution during his
stay.
Captain Norton says that the mass of
the people do not take great interest in
the revolution. The people on shore
side with Peixoto, while the navy are,with
Mello, the insurgent admiral. So it
happens that the people of Santos are
in great dread of bonn bardment from
var SAlpS 1Cll HUNS, AOddC0 w lUn Wy h1-
mite are sunk at the entrance of the har-
Dor, and the ship channel is planted
with torpedoes There are no pilots
in the harbor, and Captain Norton had
to navigate with no little care when he
brought his vessel out. While he was
there one of Mello's vessels came into
the harbor and opened fire on the fort.
After cannonade of several hours the
vessel was repulsed There was a great
rush for American flags by house owners
who wished to hoist themS over their
property.
1t was while. Captain Norton was there
that the sad deaths occurred on the
Machias brig Waubun. On the first of
July Captain Charles WEIGH died of yell
low fever. Then the owners sent out
Captain Dow, of Waterville, but in six
days he was stricken and ten days later
was dead. Then the mate took the
Waubun north.
The American consul at Santos is a
Maine man, Mr.. Edwin A. Berry, of
Gardiner, and he is true hero, in Cap
tain Nortop's opinion. Consul Berry did
not know the unhealthful nature of the
Santos climate until he arrived there
When the fever began to rage he wished
to come home, and resigned. The State
department paid no attention. He has
resigned periodically since, but until re-
Gently there has been no prospect that
he would be relieved. He is hoping
now to greet successor soon. He has
had the yellow fever twice, and has
buried his vice consul and companion,
Colonel Wadsworth. Consul Berry has
salary of $500 yearly, with no large
sum in fees, and his living expenses are
about $4,000 yearly. Captain Norton is
undoubtedly right in considering hero
the man who has faced death two years
at loss of $500 annually.
The business men Of Santos live in the
mountains during the unhealthful
season. A railroad 81 miles long brings
them to business in the forenoon and
takes them back at night. So much
time is consumed in the travel that only
an hour is left for business. A wag has
said that there are two periods in Santos,
the epidemic and the sickly.
Captain Norton, by being very care
full, managed to get away without being
seriously i'll.

Spoken so low that only angels heard;
The secret art of pure self sacrifice
Unseen by men. but marked by angels eyes;

And things long hidden from our gaze below.
