VERDICT FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
Mock Trial at the Young Mems Christian
Association Rooms.

The court room was crowded almost
to suffocation and ever and anon waves
of laughter and of sorrow swept over the
audience.
Mary Queen brought suit against Fan
nv Buck for damages due to the aliena-
ton of her lover because of the defen-
dant's obnoxious black cat The judge
was Chas. j. Nichols. The plaintiff and
defendant were Philip B. Turner and
Jos. F. Bigelow, becomingly attired in
feminine costume. The attorneys for
the plaintiff were Charles E. Choate and
R. A. Smith; those for the defence, c..
E. Quincy and Geo. S. Chase. Charles
Webster as doctor, was the star wit
ness. His false moustache and china
cut for watch charm were funny, SO
was he himself, and his remarks were
still funnier. There was much lively
and witty repartee between him and the
attorneys.
The jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff. She was to receive two nickels
from Judge Nichols.

HARBoR NOTES.
ArrivrI of the sarnia-Departure of the
Parisian-Rough Weather Continues.

It blew gale straight up the harbol
yesterday and it blew so hard and the
sea was so rough that several sailors
who came up in their yawl boats from
the lower harbor in the morning were
not able to live in the waves and could
not get back during the day. When the
Phantom backed out of the dock, the
waves dashed completely over her stern,
and one lady passenger was thoroughly
soaked.
HOLSTERS are very scarce. The rough
weather of late has prevented flshlng
and many traps have been destroyed.
The smacks are beginning to fit out for
the animal trips to Nova Scotia at this
time, Seven or eight will soon start.
They can fish there till the first of
July.

johnson, sailed up the inner harbor in

alone. The Partisan will take 5000 tons
of freight.
The Sarnia, of the Dominion line. ar
rived yesterday morning at $50 o'clock
from Halifax. She had very rough
passage. Her log book shows that she
was one day longer than usual coming
across, making the trip to Halifax in 10
days, instead of 9. She generally makes
from 2s0 to 800 miles day, but some
days she only made 221 and PIT. She
was delayed u hours outside of Halifax
by fog and snow. The first officer says
that it was the most treacherous wealth
er that he ever experienced. 1t would
be sunshine in the forenoon and a gale
after dinner. The Sarnia brought about
700 passengers. There were landed here
1888 of DR.. Bernado.s boys, who took a
special train for Canada. At Halifax
there were landed a large number of
boys sent by DR.. Wallace; also about a
dozen girls. They were en- route for
Manitoba. The cargo consisted of S58
tons. There were 267S boxes of tin plate
for this port.

The young ladies missionary society
connected with the Congress street NJ. E.
church had a Unite Jug opening on
Monday evening last, at their treasurer's
home, Miss Annie Humphrey. There
were interesting readings and music APP
propriate to the occasion by the members
of the society, and then came the event
of the evening, the opening of the jugs.
This was accompanied by good deal OF
curiosity, as the young ladies hadn't any
idea how much money the jugs contain
ed, and so, armed with hammer and
screw driver, each opened her own jug,
and the looks of surprise, and, in some
cases, of chagrin, as the contents were
counted, would have given material for a
painter. The sum of 1924 was realized
from the jugs, pretty good showing for
year. This society is named the Avesia
Lindsay Band, after their PASTORS wife,
who is very popular among them. The
young ladies have only been organized
into society about a year, and. in tina,
time have raised over $3S. Of this $3(
goes toward scholarship for girl in

Early Parish Life in Portland.

Rev. J. Carroll Perkins, of the First
Parish, delivered lecture, or more
properly speaking, read a very interest
ing paper at Second Advent church, on
early Parish Life In Portland" to a
highly pleased audience yesterday.
We can only this morning, give run
ming idea of Mr.. Perkins's paper. He
began with mention Of the early set
Element of Falmouth, and gave re-
sumo of the history Of the early settle
ment of the town, including its vicissi-
tndes down to the establishment of the
three churches, the First Parish of Port
land, the church at Cape Elizabeth, and
that at Casco, $50 years ago. The order
of worship at that time was the Trinita-
rian Congregational, and all other was
excluded by law. At that time the only
apples Of discord were caused by the
Presbyterians and Quakers. The lecturer
dwelt upon the ministrations of the
three earliest ministers, Revs. Richard
Gibson, Robert Jordan and George
Burrowes, and from their time came to
the building of the First Parish
house and the life of the parish of 1850.
He described the building as it stood
after erection, and the services of
Rev. DR.. Smith, whose unbroken pastor
ate of SO years, joined to these of 81
years by DR.. Deane and so by Dir. Mic
hols, forms one series of pastorates for
continuous length rarely. if ever,
equalled in this country. He described
the doctor himself most graphically, both
as Ito dress and manners. the services
at the church, the costumes of the peri
cd, and spinning bee given by mem
bers of the parish. To properly pre-
sent these features requires more space
than we have at our disposal today. Mr..
Perkins was warmly complimented at
the close by many of his audience,
which composed many of the descend
ants of the old families who used to
worship in the First Parish church

THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
A Brief Mention of Some Of the Latest
Engravings.

Something to Please All in the Latest Num-
= bers of Both Series.
In Famous Paintings No. s there is a
variety of reproductions sufficient to
please all members of the family. One
interesting engraving is entitled Con
CALCULATIONS" and shows the young mem
bers of the family rendering their con-
CALCULATIONS to the aged grandmother
who has just attained her eightieth birth
day. Another full of life is entitled
''Sunny Childhood showing the school
dismissed for recess and the little ones
engaged in a merry romp. One of more
sombre character is called Sentenced"
and shows three fair young Christians
who lave been condemned to death and
are waiting until the wild beasts awake
and their hunger impels them to their
awful work. A reproduction of Jules
Stewards give O'Clock Tea" is also
given in this number, together with
Henri Brispot's "The Able Constantine y
a subject made famous by Madeleine Lee
maire's water colors. The story of which
the painting is an illustration is told in
the notes which accompany the engrav-
ing. This number is most excellent
one and these we have mentioned are
but few of the best reproductions.
A scene representing Western life is
shown in No 9,of America Photographed.
1t is entitled "a Montana Cattle Ranch"
and shows the rude abode which is To-
Gated at convenient point on one of the
large ranches of the west and used as
headquarters for the cowboys employed
on the ranch. The cowboys are shown,
with their horses, and one gets Ia good
idea of life on the great plains from the
engraving. The picture ION the Beach
at Atlantic City, gives view of Eastern
life at one of the great sea beaches. The
scene will be a familiar one to those who
live near any of the large beaches. and
the picture with the crowds of people
will be called very true to life at those
great summer resorts. No. 8 is also the
number that shows the great Selkirk
mountains in all their grandeur and
the beautiful lakes that are situated
among them. 1t also has a view of the
Green Mountains in our neighboring
state of Vermont.

Do You Get Exhausted and Irrit-
able?
SUCH CONDITIONS MEAN MUCH
MORE THAN YOU THINK.
How to do the Most and Best Work With
out Getting Tired.

People are am bilious, they want to b ct
ter their condition and to have the good
things of life. To do this they over
work ana put too great strain on their
strength and nerves. In consequence,
the nerves become weakened and the
person soon loses the power to work as
much AS formerly.
When the nerves are weak, the heart
also becomes weakened. Severe heart
disease is liable to follow if this condi-
tion is not checked Weak heart causes
poor circulation. Indigestion and many
other troubles. 1t is dangerous con-
dition to neglect. The following letter
written by Mr.. WA. Phillips. of More

nation: jse s.s af

A Serious Assault by Thomas McDermott
Two young boys came to the police
station last night. One of them, Fred
Hamel. aged Is years, complained that
on Hanover street, where he lives, he
was struck by SNOWFALL. He angrily
asked who did it, and Thomas McDer-
mott, great, oyergrown youth, stepped
forward and said he did it, and thereup-

with such force as to knock out two
front teeth. These and the boys bloody

A Portland vehicle Reproduced in France.


An artist who was lately in this city
related that while ON sketching tour he
visited city of southern France and
there saw man peddling fish with what
appeared to be an American handcart.
with scales and all the paraphernalia at
tached. Addressing the peddler in
French he found that he was an old sailor
who many years previously had visited
Portland and saw the original of this cart
on the corner Of Temple and Federal
streets. He had made good copy there
of, and drove a good business. 1t will
be recalled by many how numerous the
handcarts once were on certain corners
of streets in this city. They congregated
the most at the foot of Exchange street.
