The Portland Street Railroad Co. re-
Gently sold quarter of million of its
first mortgage bonds to the Portland
Trust Co., and $780, of Them are now
offered by the Trust Company.
By reference to our advertising columns
it will be seen that they are thorough
ly "gllt edged" security, and pay the ir-
vestor better than any other home in
vestment of equally high standing. They
are long gold bond, secured by an abso
Lutte first mortgage on all the property of
the Street Railroad Co. in Portland and
adjoining cities; and the earnings are sc
large as to make the interest payment;
sure beyond question. This does not
take into account any inerense of receipts
or decrease of expenses, which always
follow the change TO electricity.
This block of bonds will he ready fol
delivery in different lots, between May
1st and June 1st, of which upwards Of
5000 have already been subscribed.

Those who mean to come into this sale
later in the week, cannot afford to wait if
they would secure some of the prettiest gar

week. The material is bought of Portland
dealers, the work cut by Portland ladies, the
sewing done by the worthy self-respecting

reasonable and fitting that Portland citi-
zens of means should do their part by pur-
chasing the garments, thus making the So
ciety of mutual benefit 20 the various

MAS SUDDEN EATI
A Well-Known Sporting Character SUI
posed to Have Killed Himself.
Found Dying in His Hotel Room
A Physician Called, but Too
Late to Do Good.

Eugene Mas a man well known in
sporting circles throughout the city, was
found dead in bed this morning at En-
rich's B. and o. Hotel, corner of New Jer-
sey avenue and street northwest. Mas
came to the hotel about the middle of last
week and was assigned to room. 1t is
understood that he came from Baltimore,
where he had been under treatment at
Johns Hopkins Hospital for several months
for some trouble of the throat and lungs.
He has been in i'll health for number of
years, it is said, but of recent months has
seemed to grow worse.
During his stay at the hotel he COM
planned considerably, and the hotel people
suggested his calling a doctor, but Mas
declined the advice. Yesterday morning
he came down stairs for little while and
told the clerk that he knew he was very
sick man. The clerk again advised him to
go to bed and call in doctor.
Discovered in a Dying Condition.
During last night he seemed to grow
worse. About 5 o'clock this morning, when
the hotel Waterman was making his rounds
and visited Mas room to how he was
getting along, he became alarmed at Mas
condition and notified the clerk that he
thought Mas was in a dangerous way. The
clerk went to his room and found Mas I'M
conscious.
A servant was hastily dispatched for
physician and aroused DR.. Gladmon, at the
corner of New Jersey avenue and E street
northwest, who hurried to the mans bed
side. Mas was dead when he arrived,
however, and DIR. Gladmon found he could
be of no service in the premises. DR.. Glad
mon told the hotel keeper he thought that
Mas had died of congestion of the lungs
or of congestive chill The police were
notified and the body removed to the
morgue.
RumOrs of Suicide.
A rumor got about that the man had
committed suicide, but the people at the
hotel thought there were no grounds for
this supposition. 1t is said. however, that
he had been very Respondent lately and
had expressed feeling of WEAKNESS with
life 1t is said that last Saturday he saw a
happy-looking colored man pushing clam
cart along the sunny street. apparently en-
joyng life, and that Mas remarked to an
acquaintance, Il had rather be that clam
man than Eugene Mas. There is no use in
living, anyhow.
Years ago Mas was known popular
comedian, and made hit in personating
Dutch characters. He retired from the
stage, however, and afterward became
1t Is said that he was well connected, COM
ing of good Philadelphia parentage, and
was man of considerable education.
Deputy Coroner GlaZebrook viewed the
remains of Mas at the sixth precinct sta
ton house today. After hearing testimony
in the case he concluded that deceased
came to his death through alcoholism.

efforts to secure all kinds of specimens of
the genius and skill of the colored people
to be found in the District. The city has
been divided into districts and a commits
sioner has made house-to-h house canvass
for works of art and objects showing the
skill and advancement of the colored peo-
pie here since emancipation. The result is
that an elaborate collection has been got
