room in each of these buildings When
they start from Chestnut street school
house, the pupils will be directed wheth-
er they are to go to Casco or the jackson

1t has been found impossible to provide
place for any other class except the
first and SO the rest of the Chestnut
street pupils will have a vacation until

4: The Day Nursery.

The attention of one of the charitable
organizations has been called to the ease
of two little children, who narrowly
escaped severe accident from being
locked into room, while the mother was
out washing. 1t is strange that women
will take such risks with their little
ones, when for about the amount saved
from an hours work, their two children
might have been fed and cared for at the
Day Nursery.
The managers have regretted that on
account of changing matrons, the rooms
at SO Oak street were closed for a short
time. But while the rooms We're vacant,
they were thoroughly cleaned and made
attractive by new paint and paper. Mrs.
Jansen, the present matron, is herself a
mother, and promises to give to all the
little ones left in her charge the same
motherly care that she would bestow up
on her own little one
Working women are again reminded of
thelopportunity of securing for their little
children good food, and good care at the
Day Nursery, number So Oak street.

and What it has Taught Us.
When Dr. Parkhurst preached his great
sermon in the Madison Square Presby-
terrain church Thanksgiving for the first
time in his fifteen years pastorate the
occupants of the pews, broke forth in APP
plause. The doctors sermon dwelt on the
spirit of lawlessness that menaced the
pation's life. DIR. Parkhurst said. among
other things: eff a man takes a stand
and declines to surrender, it for con-
siderations of money, c0nveniences or
preference, he is twitted with being
handicapped with Plymouth ancestry and
Mayfiow associations am proud of
my New England and Puritan ancestry
and wish there were a Plymouth rock
in every blessed state of the Union, and a
whole ledge of them running from the
battery to Westchester. We believe in
breadth, but some of us are getting sick
of breadth that is so diffusive that it
starts everywhere in general, and ends
nowhere in particular.

paralysis while dressing in his room and
breathed his last few minutes later.
Bishop Wayman had not been in good
health for some time, having during the
past year suffered from minor paralytic
stroke. Bishop Wayman was born in
Caroline county, Maryland. September
81, 1881. He was one of twelve children,

SAFE IN PORT.
Captain and Mrs. Colley and 10 seamen
Saved

| London, November 80. British steamer
Rose Morgan landed at Plymouth late
last evening, the captain of the American
ship Bell 'Brion for San francisco, be-
fore reported foundered, together with
his wife and thirteen of the ships crew.
These were picked up from small boat
on November 81 in lat, 40 N. long, 10
W., as they were abandoning the sinking
wreck. The second officer and two seamen
of the Bell O'Bion are still missing and
one of the crew was drowned before the
| vessel was abandoned.
| Captain Colley, who commanded the
foundered ship, has made the following
statement: sour voyage was stormy
one from the first and the ship was soon
driven from her course and began to leak.
We were not anxious for our safety until
we got within rs miles of Queenstown,
November II, when the ship encountered
terrific gale with tremendous seas
which swept her decks and stove and
carried off her bulwarks and deck house
The ship was then leaking badly and
making water very fast, compelling the
crew to man the pumps constantly in an
effort to save their lives The water con-
tinued to gain, however, and November
10 the watar in the ships hold was ten
feet deep. In the meantime one man
had fallen overheard and was drowned.
On November 10, we got out the long
boat and towed her astern. Three seamen
and the second officer were in the boat.
The high seas caused the boat to plunge
SO violently that it became necessary to
cut the painter to prevent her from
swan ing. The boat was without oars
and provided with neither food nor water.
When the painter was cut, the boat
drifted away into the darkness and i'm
mediately another boat was lowered,
manned by the first and third officers
and five men, provided with flash lights
to search for her. The Bell O'Brion
watched for hours for tine return of the
boats, but we saw neither of them again.
Soon another gale sprung up, and the
pumps became very difficult to work on
account of the grain in the hold choking
them.l AS the water gained, the grain
continued to swell, until it bulged the
planks on the ships sides and heaved her
decks. We did not relax our desperate
efforts to keep the ship afoat until we
were sighted aud picked up by the Rose
Moran"
When the captain left the ship she was
in lat. 40 degrees north, long. 10 degrees
west. There is very slight hope of her be-
ing above water, and the underwriters,
who only twenty-four hours ago rein
sured her at the fabulous premium Of
ninety guineas, will undoubtedly have to
stand the loss.
Captain. Colley's rescue is nothing
short of marvellous, as the weather off the
coast of Ireland during the past few days
has been reported as extremely bad Only
yesterday one of the big ocean liners was
unable to land her mails at Queenstown
on account of the heavy seas, and the
castaways' chances in an open boat were
very slender.
I he Bell O'Brion was a fine ship OF
about 1900 tons register, and she is the
sixth American ship lost within few
weeks, the other five having been burned.
The Bell O'Brion was owned in Thomas
ton, Me-, where she was built in 1875.

Saturday by invitation Of Mr.. H. S.
Berry, manager of the Diamond Restau-
rant, on the grounds of the Lowell Manu-
featuring company, South Portland, a
bountiful turkey dinner was given to the
officers and employees and a few invited

payroll. Clam chowder, roast turkey
with all the various vegetable con-
comitants, English plum pudding, apple,

from the ST. Julian kitchen comprised
the substantial articles of the dinner.
Superintendent L. H. Cobb, Foreman "
H. Rhoades and Clerk Greenstadt took
seats with the workmen, finer looking
set of men it would be hard to find any
where. The crowd includes a good
sprinkling of South Portlanders. The
Diamond Restaurant is pleasant, attrac-

folks
Since the starting up Of the old Akin
pany for bicycle manufactu' aeon-
pany have equipped the mi now
machinery valued at $40, 600. Icy have
erected five new wooden buildings OIL the

the roof of the main building, so as to
afford better light. Many parts OF the
Diamond bicycle are already being made
here, and every part Of the machine will
be made except the tires and saddles.
A visit to the Cape Electric power

up the new engine we'll advanced, all the
heavier parts being in position. Today il
is expected that the new machinery will
be given trial to test it's working
qualities and Tuesday or Wednesday the
coaches will be running again, this time
to the city.
