Caused Rxthe Big Engine.

Mr. Holden, while at work in his black
smith shop across the road from the pow
er house, the other afternoon, noticed a
sound caused by the hitting together
gently of the horse shoes hung along the
wall. He was at loss for some time to
account for their motion as it was as
regular as the tick of a clock and could
not have been caused by any movements
in the shop or by passing teams. Mr..
Holden noticed also that the water in the
buckets and barrels in the shop.also quiy-
cred slightly in rhythm with the tinkling
Of the horseshoes.
MIR. Holden finally discovered that mo-
tin was coincident with strokes of the
big engine in the power house across the
way, and all day long Thursday he no.
ticed the horse shoes on the wall swaying
gently in time with the strokes Of the en-
CINE, but only occasionally does the jar
become so violent as to cause the shoes
to strike against one another and ring
The jar of the engine is not at all per-
ceptible to person standing in the shop.

OBITUARY..
Nellie Mccain.

The funeral of Nellie Mccain took
place yesterday afternoon at $50 at her
home 159 Lincoln street.
Although called home at the early age
of IL years she had not lived in vain; for
none of those who witnessed her last
hours will ever forget the lessons taught
them by her triumphant faith in her
Savior.
While grateful for all that earthly
friends tried to do she looked to the
Great Physician for help, and wanted all
who came to her bed side to pray for her.
All she desired was to go to Jesus, and
as she breathed her last beautiful smile
came over her. face as the Lord claimed
his own. Such a death is seldom wit
messed and can never be forgotten.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. S. f. Pearson and. Rev. 81. F. Dex-
ter of the Gospel Mission. Mr.. Pearson
spoke with deep feeling of the deceased
child who always attended the Mission
Sunday school.
Among the floral offerings was beau
tiful star from the Sunday School class
and junior Christian Endeavor, and II
pinks from her Sunday school teacher,
Mrs. Ruby Damer, also wreath from
Chestnut street public school, roses from

HE FORGOT HER.
A Portland Man Forgets That He Took
His Better Half to Boston.

A well known Portland grocery dealer
will be apt to recall yesterday for some
time to come. He left home for Boston
on the early train intending to simply
rush business during the few hours he
proposed to stay there. His wife went
with MIN and on their arrival in Boston
they separated agreeing to meet at -. 30
for lunch, and to take late train for
home. Presumably the wife carried out
her part of the agreement, but the
husband forgot all about his appointment
and also the fact that his wife was with
him.
He rushed business all right, but
lunched alone on the five minute plan.
Then having the feeling of one who has
attended to all he had to do, he
took the two O'Clock train for Portland,
and on arriving here went to his house
and blandly asked the domestic if his
wife was in.
f'But she went with you to Boston this
morning didn't she?' asked the domestic
in surprise, and then other members of
the family wanted to know you know, "
where she was.
''Great Scott, forgot all about her, be-
ing with me'' was al the Portland man
could say, and then he made wild rush
for the telegraph Office and kept the wires
hot for short time. with messages TO his
wife addressed in care of mutual friends
in Boston, but all in vain, and he did the
next best thing started back to Boston
after her.
Perhaps the story might not have
leaked out had it not been for the fact
that card party billed for last evening
was forced to follow the example OF
certain Ward -Four meeting held years
ago, and adjourned before it was called
to order The friends of the Portland
man expect to find that he has aged
great deal whom they see him again, and
don't believe that he'll hear the last of it
for sometime to come. The honest fact
seems to be that his wife is SO much a
stay at homo body that he entirely forgot
the rather strange circumstance of her
being with him yesterday. There was,
however, lingering suspicion last eve
ming that his wife had received one or
more of his kilograms, but that she didn' t
propose to return home alone. The next
time he takes her with him he'll be apt
TO remember the fact.

FINE PORTRAITS.
The Work of Mr.. j. Il. Barclay, an Eng
Iish Artist

At Gould & Whipple's art store, Con-
gless street, some very fine portraits have
been placed on exhibition by Mr.. j. E.
Barclay an English portrait painter of
high repute whose present residence IS
New York, but who is stopping at the
Columbia in this city while filling Port
land orders.
The portraits in question are those OF
the recent appraiser of the the port of
New York, under President Harrison
which was painted for the bank of which
the gentleman has recently been elected
presiaent-of Hon. Charles f. Libby and
the twin children, of Mr.. Frank L.
Rankin, the pianist, and of the artist S
own daughter. All these portraits are
painted in the best school of art. The
coloring is solid. the likenesses excellent
and the detail carefully elaborated with
out being finical. The portrait Of the New
York gentleman, as portrait, is partlcu-
larly good. It is very strong face. Inc
shading of the hair, the Deep penetratlVe
gaze of the eyes, the firm. tenacious
mouth, the coloring of the complexion,
the pose of the figure are SO well done
that the eye is continually attracted back
to the, portrait after it has turned to
the Others The portrait of Mr.. Libby's
boy is painted broadly, but is good pic
ture. The pose is easy and spirited
The likeness to the mother in his face
is remarkable strong. There is good
deal of character to the picture. That
of the daughter is the portrait of sweet
young face not yet exposed to the trials
of life Mr.. Libby's portrait is good; it
is a capital likeness. Mr.. Rankin's por-
trait, we should say, could hardly be I'M
proved either as a Correct picture of the
man, or in the excellence of the general
work. Mr. Rankin's face lends itself kind
" to the talented artist. The.eyes are
whatImay be called speaking eyes. " The
face OF Mr.. Barclays daughter is charm
ing, and the father has done most artis
tic work in it's portrayal.
It is said Mr.. Barclay will paint the
portrait of Hon. Thomas B. Reed for
the Cumberland Club
