THE WHEELMEN GOT WET.
Experience of Two who Rode to Var
mouth Yesterday.


Despite the dismal outlook for rainy oay
yesterday forenoon, many Portland wheel-
men ventured out into the country and con-
sequently many Portland wheelmen .got
wet. at about 8 p. M. four bedragRieo
young man came across the ferry,..h iVing
come in from the Seaview cottage. They
were too wet and weary to ride up into the
city, put pushed their dripping wheels se-
fore them. Many other wheeImen had long
runs through the mud in the downpoui.
Two of the most prominent l.. A. ". men
in the city had, perhaps. the hardest ex
perience. Messrs. t. A. ElSell and Philip
G. Kilburn rode out to Yarmouth in tn
forenoon. They took dinner at the Royal
River house, and then watched the rain
pour down till they were miserably satisfied
that it was one of Two tbings-stop in Var
mouth all night or brave the rain and the
mud. They determined upon the latter and
started at about three O'Clock. They had
IL LIZ miles of mud and rain before them.
They went fast, for discomfort Is a power
full spur. 1t was only few miles when they
made the mutual discovery that there was
the top of the head down.

tits the mud off the back of your head !"
explained F. A. E. who was in the rear.
You've got about square yard of it, up
and down your back. III
You're another" said P. G. e., mot
meaning TO doubt his companions word.
but having reference to the condition of
the latter's back. as a result Of the target
practice of that relentless rear wheel
There is something very exasperating in
the conduct of one's rear wheel, under ex-
IRENE conditions of mud and rain. 1t seems
to take that opportunity to get even with
it's rider for riding it. 1t has him at its
mercy, too. The faster he rides the harder
does it hurl its missiles of mud at him and
the more unerring its aim.
The above unfortunates expressed their
feelings as to this merciless fusilade from,
their rear wheels, then they told them to
do their worst, etc., and hustled for home
AS fast as they could. They made the II IL
miles in one hour and quarter. which was
excellent time considering the freight they
brought in on their backs.
Mr.. Elwell's Russian hound was with
them. His dimensions consist principally OF
height land length. In that respect : lie
doesn't take any back talk from any dog,
but when he lies down his dimensions are
transformed to those of good sized door,
mat.
A lady came down stairs into the front
hall of the Royal River house, yesterday
Just AS she was about to step on the ma,
at the foot of the stairs, it suddenly rose
into the air and assumed the proportions OF
good sized calf. The lady didn't faint, be-
cause there are occasions. You know, when
fainting doesn't begin to express your feel
ings. A Russian wolf hound in village
tavern in Maine can induce such an
occasion.

John L. stoddard Off for Europe.

Among the passengers sailing for
Europe Saturday was John L. Stoddard.
Although he has but just finished his
fifteenth lecture season which has been
in continuous progress since last Oc-
tober. he feels it necessary to begin i'm
mediately his travel and work for the
sixteenth season. His route will en-
brace a considerable exploration of
Naples and its vicinity, whose lovely
scenery and surroundings will give him
fresh material of the most fascinating
sort. Leaving Italy, Mr.. Stoddard will
as soon as possible reach the shores of
the Danube, along and upon which he
by the way, until he reaches CONSTANT
nople. 1t is many years since he visited
the famous Turkish capital, though he
has long wished to do so. The number
less interesting features of this charm
ingly situated metropolis together with
the characteristic peculiaritfes of the
Turkish people will furnish a lecture
that will be of especial interest at this
time Mr.. Stoddari intends also a some
what prolonged stay in Paris on this
tour, being engaged on the most impor-
tant study of the life of Napoleon he has
ever made and for which he is getting
together much unique material. And
when he has made all his studies and OBJ
servation he then expects to settle down
in the Tyrol for a season of quiet, plan
ming to return in Septem Der.

and selling his concoction at one dollar or
fifty cents per bottle. giving with each sale
various other worthless articles. Citizens
of Grisw old. Iowa, became suspicious and
ascertaining from druggist that ajlor's
compound was not Hood a sarsapariIla. but
merely colored water, had him arrested.
Three indictments were found against him.
the jury convicted him after only thirty
minutes deliberate ion. and he Was sentenced

THE SECOND PARISH CHURCH.
A Notable Day Yesterday-Dr Daniels's
Address About the American Board
Over 5000 Raised-The Sunday school
Anniversary.

| Yesterday was a memorable day at the
Second Parish. DIR. Daniels spoke to his
former people in the morning in the interest
of the "A. B. G. F. NJ. In an eloquent and
| forcible address he brought his hearers in
close touch, and renewed sympathy, with
this missionary efforts in other lands, and
clearly placed before them the present
phases and needs of the work. He closed
with strong appeal for help in the present
crisis, stating that the board is burdened
with heavy debt, for the payment of
which an extended and powerful effort is
being made among the churches.
After the address an offering was made,
the amount given qnd pledged being six
hundred and twenty-five dollars of which
| one member of the church gave large
part.
Following the morning service came the
Sunday school. 1t being the sevenry-eighth
anniversary of the school. The service was
of special and appropriate nature, al
though the usual concert will be postponed
till ssChildren's Day." DR.. Daniels and the
pastor addressed the young pepole.
From the reports presented we learn that
the school is in most prosperous condition.
The following facts will be of interest:
Membership, 502; average attendance for the
year, 1884; average attendance for the sum-
| mer months, 214; average attendance for
| the other eight months, 321 deaths. re-
ceived into the church, 2S; largest attend

pended as follows: School expenses, 1888;
Home charity, Sl10; missions. 2l3; library
books, $40: library room. new, $l45; books
| in library, 755.
In the evening the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Hack,
delivered the second in series of three
illustrated lectures on the Bible. The
audience was smaller than usual on account
of the rain, but the lecture in interest and
instruction was of special value TO those
who heard it. The last of the Sc ries will be
given May 25th.

She Never Came Back.

Last Tuesday woman, respectfully
clad, applied at Mr.. Mitchell H.Chase's
house, No. 19 Federal street of room.
She was apparently in ill health, and
paid Mr.. Chase for latch key and gave
him half dollar and check to procure
her baggage from the Boston steamer,
saying that she expected to go to work
for Burnham & Morrill,, or would find
chance in a store and would be back
directly to occupy her room. She never
came back. The bundle contained neat
clean clothes. The matter is mystery.
