The Independent Order of Red men is
one of the most fiourishing of the secret
orders in the State of Maine. The past

and influential class inathe community

other states, has not sought to join the
tribes of Red Men in the state. lhls
class of men is becoming interested and
many inquiries. have been made by its
members as to the objects. of the order.

soon be formed in Portland, composed OF
well known citizens, in regard to which

BASE BALL.
Springfield Secures the Services of Oliver
Burns and Portland Loses Valuable
Man-On the Lines.

Portland base ballists were given the
disappointing news yesterday that DIV
er Burns had accepted the terms of the
Springfield team of the Eastern League
aud will therefore not play in this city
the coming season. This information is
not a surprise to many. Burns has been
in receipt of factoring offers since the
close of last season, and as the clubs in
the New England organization cannot
afford to pay any such salaries as offered
in the Eastern League, it has for some
time been foregone conclusion that the
patrons in this league would not see
the playing of Burns the coming sea-
son. He was by all odds the best all
around tosser in the New England
League of 1913 and will make valuable
acquisition to the already formidable ag-
gregation secured to represent Spring
field, which is under the pilotage of
Tom Burns, for many years the right
hand man of Capt. Arson of the Chica-
Cos. There is not better known player
in this section than Oliver Burns. He
began his career as the catcher OF the
famous Kid Madden and by earnest work
has steadily advanced to the fore ranks.
Line Hits.
Willie Mains was in the city for few
hours yesterday. He; states that he is
as busy as a cranberry merchant these
days.
Harry Stovey, the former great base
runner, will play the initial bag for
Springfield. A
President Young of the National
League is authority for the statement
that Pitcher Mercer will have to play
with Washington or not at all. By this
decision Fall River will be deprived of 9
| first class man.
The new grounds of the Lewiston
team will be near the old broken dowr
lot where professional ball has always
been played. tF
Who will take the place left vacant BY
Burns? A strong man is desired for the
all important position of third base.

MRS. BARToL's STORY.
the Griffins to the Haymarket Square
Property is Valid One.

In regard to the claims on the Hay
market Square property in Boston,
mentioned in yesterdays PRESS, Mrs,
Susan Bartol, relative of "The' Nc
Elroy, oncetime owner of the property,
the ownership of which is now ques-
toned, was seen at her home in
Somerville, Mass, by a Journal man.
Mrs. Bartol is somewhat advanced in
years, but her memory of things con-
nected with the property is clear as ever.
In reply to the reporters questions she
said that she had no doubt that the claim
of the family on the property was valid
one, but attributed the non-success of
some persons sent down to look up the
title for the Maine heirs to money spent
both wisely and too well.
''Mr Emery Gushing, descendant of
Caleb Cushing, came down to Boston"
she said, land looked up the title. He
said to lis that if we had 800 we could
easily 60 to the same office in Boston he
did and prove our claim beyond the
shadow of doubt.
GAS have been told, the property ran
to low water mark on the flats in the
harbor, under the Haymarket Square
station. 1t was bought by Mr.. McElroy
when he first came over from Ireland.
He was fighter in the war of 1872, but
before that war, am told. he leased
the property for SO years. When that
ran out some years ago, we sent several
men down to look up the title but they
all said that there was no title. Some of
these bought farms soon after they came
back, while before they went to Boston
they had not been SO we'll off as to afford
them. All but Emery Cushing; he said:
| why, if that claim was mine I'd get my
share of that property in minute, but it
is not in the line of the Gushing inherit
ance. There is proof enough that it
belongs to the Griffins.'
'sMr. Gushing also said that lawyer
| told him he knew eight persons who had
been bribed to let the matter alone"

No one who has stood on the bridge
which connects Goat Island with the
main land at Niagara Falls can forget
the wild scene that greeted the eyes as
they looked up towards Lake Erie. The
internal writhe and roar with which the
water rushes down towards the falls is
most startling as one stands above it on
the seemingly frail bridge This scene
is graphically pictured IL the first en-
craving in number one of America
Photographed" Like the one OF the
American fall in number one this picture
strikes one who has visited the falls as
most realistic one, the position from
which it is taken showing the scene as
it actually appears to the observer from
the bridge. This is only one of the
wonders of America that are shown in
number two. Fourteen others, one of
them double PACED, of the most wonder
full and novel American scenes are given
and the same number appears each week.
What a remarkable book 800 of these
kscenes will make and what other country
could furnish so much variety within
it's own bounds. Don't fail to start with
the first number.
Have you seen Famous Paintings?'"
is common remark nowadays. The fact
that SO perfect a book of engravings
could be put on the market and delivered
to the customer at so low a price as we
are able to furnish hem, has caused
| universal common t, and it would be
strange if it had not. A few years ago
one of these portfolios would have sold
for 81, readily. and many did sell for
that price that were not nearly as good.
The firm of J.J. Little & Co., Of New

It is understood that the American
Protective Association has come into
Maine and has established its first lodge
in this city This is the secret order
which has as one of its principles that on
member shall vote for any Catholic for
Office. 1t has had a growth in the Cen
trail and Western States something like
that enjoyed for time by the old Know
Nothing movement of forty years ago.
Recently, in the West, some of its speak
ers have been mobbed. Details about
the new lodge here are very meagre,
there seeming to be an injunction OF
secrecy over its movements. But the
badges OF the order are beginning to be
seen worn on the lappels of coats like
the Grand Army button. The A. P. A.
button has face of dark blue or black
enamel, with its devices in gilt. These
devices consist of the balance with the
crossed swords beneath them and the
letters F. P. P. above. These letters
represent the device of the order, which
is a profound secret
Besides the principle that no member
shall vote for Catholic for any Office,
the order has various other articles of
creed, including the keeping of all insti-
buttons in non-sectarian hands, the taxa
ton of church property, the restriction
of immigration and the frightening of
the period of residence before naturaliza-
ton.
The Portland members claim that the
order numbers two millions and is grow
ing fast.
