The legislative committee that is to
consider the bills relating to the esta-
lishm ent of a street commission in Port
land should bear in mind one fact-and
it is very important TACT. The bill
which has the Endorsement of Mayor
Baxter and large number of citizens is
bill to perpetuate plan of street man
agement which has been tried for a year
past and has proved a success. The bill
endorsed by certain mem hers of the city
council proposes scheme which has
never had trial in this city or any
where else. This of itself ought to settle
the question as to which bill should
receive end orsment. The fact that a
plan has worked well in practice ought to
constitute the strongest kind of claim
to permanency.

Another Word in Favor of Mrs. Hunt,

Another Word in Favor of Mrs. Hunt,
To the Editor of the PRESS:
/. 1t was with much interest aud appre
citation that I read the article bv the
Hon. Joseph Locke, published in the
PRESS of last Monday, and feel that
his sentiments will be most heartily en-
dorsed by all who know the faithful
services rendered by Mrs. Hunt during
her term of service, as one of the MEM
bers of the visiting committee of the
State Reform School, and it seems that
that of itself would be ii most earnest
recommendation that every effort should
be put forth that she should be elected
to a similar position as one of the COM
mittee on the public schools, to which
the coming generation owe SO much for
good start in the duties of life.
| for one have always felt that women
should unite with men in deciding the
important questions that come up in re-
gard to the education of youth, and as n
mother it has seemed to me that there
were many points where woman 8

come to woman's mind as the natural
educator of children.
To any one who may recall the success
attending the committeeship of Misses
May and Croker, who were such efic-
lent workers on the school board of Bos-
ton, he cannot fail to realize that much
may be done by faithful. interested
woman, and I know of no one who could
haitian fill that nnCi tim than the npndi-
date you have nominated. So, let us
one and all see to it that we do our part
to give an overwhelming vote to Mrs.

Bear in mind that the cross in one OF
these squares is vote for all the names
in the column under it, and that if the
voter wants simply to vote straight

is by making cross in the square above

q cross anywhere else he renders the bal
lot defective and loses his vote. III he
does not want to vote straight ticket
the way to proceed is this; First make
the cross in the square above the ticket
the most of which he desires to vote,
then run down the column until name
is reached which the elector does not
want to vote for, draw line through
that name and write the name of the
person he does want to vote for in the

Five Acres CT Winteryrecn.

Wintergreen Island, situated oppo-
site Essex. Conn, was in past years
considered rs profitable a tve-acre
tract OF land as the town contained,
owing to it's producing immense quan.
titles Of wIntergreen. This land was
heavily covered with pine trees which
shaded the vines. The berries were
so plentiful that many bushels werG
gathered every year and were taken
by agents, who shipped them to Ros,
ton and other cities. But their end
came when the trees were cut down.
The harvest was from the middle of
November until the snow covered the
ground. Birch has taken the place OF
wintergreen, and the section abounds
with birch oil distilleries. phe diff.
ference between birch oil aud winter
green oil is very slight, and thousani is
of gallons of the former are sold every
year for wintergreen extract. - New

The SOnth's Most Formidable Weapon

A New York special to the Charlotte,
N. c., Observer says There had come
into sight up to Friday last inclusive,
according 10 the Financial Chronicle,
9,243, ,24S bales against 6, 969, 222 the
same date last year and 6,113,S34 in
1898, but the visible supply at the
weekly reported interior points and
United States ports last Friday was
only 932, $50 against S2S, 4SS last year,
1,007, 500 in 1898. In other words
while the amount brought into sight is
2,274 ,05S more than last year there is
only of this excess 103, S62 left in this
country. What is more surprising is,
that while there has been brought into

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

HE is not here; He is risen.' Two
acts are proclaimed by the vacated
5mb of Jesus.
QD The Lord was dead. AS 1t would
ave been a dissertation of the Sab
auth for the body of Jesus to have
'emained on the cross, the Jews be-
)ugiht Pllate that his death should be
fastened; but when the soldiers reach
d the place they found him ALREADY
lead. But to make assurance doubly
iure one Of them Ohrust his spear into
MS side. Had he not been dead before
his would have caused his death.
And before Pilate gave his consent to
eonsfgn the body to joseph he required
the certificate of the centurian to that
effect. Then Nicodemus and Joseph
buried the body, having prepared 1t
with myrrih and aloes. 1t is altogether
unlikely that such persons could have
been deceived.
C) The fact that Jesus is risen-The
earliest written mention of the resur-
rection is by Paul. He learned the
fact from Peter and James not more
than ten, probably not more than six
years, after the even; thus early it was
the fixed belief Of the disciples. And
conviction with such a ma as Paul
meant impregnable proof. Nothing IS
more historically certain than that Je-
sus rose from the dead. The evidence
may be and often has been shown to
be satisfactory; 1t is good according TO
the common rules for distinguishing
good evidence from bad. Thousands
