The Portland Electric Road.
lie Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
The citizens of our fair city have cause
for gratitude for the well equipped and
well managed railroad with which they
are now accommodated. Other cities of
less size and Importance and travel got
ahead of US in point of electricity but
now we can boast of as good service in
the matter of speed, comfort, conven-
fence and gentlemanly conductors as any
city in New England.
There are some things yet to come, and
which doubtless will come, which the
public will hail with pleasure, and which
am sure will be no loss to the road
First-In our city proper one five
cent fare should entitle passenger to a
transfer to any given point. This is the
case in other cities, even in Bangor.
go to place equaiId distant from Preble
street, walk the whole way rather than
pay two fares, eve though the second
one is only three cents when transfer
is purchased. There is some injustice
about method which will allow passen-
gers to ride from the Union Station to
Fort Allen for five cents, and charge an
OGnef, 6lBub CeuGs IOr flQ1ng from ClUy
Hall to Preble street and then down to
the Grand Trunk station Let the fare
be made five cents with free transfer
and those who now say they guess they
will walk and save the eight cents, will
nay the five cents and ride.
Seoond-The writer was surprised on a
chilly afternoon of last week to stand at
the entrance to the Union Station and
see the car pass on up above the Maine
Central general offices and remain there
for five minutes or more and then come
down without passenger, and take on
board half dozen shivering individuals
who had stood at the entrance to the sta
ton all the time. 1t would have answered
all practical business purposes to have
had the Car return to the station where
nineteen twetienths of the passengers are
furnished, and wait there the spare time
giving the patrons shelter and warmth.
These are not intended as unkind criti-
cism, but are intended to advance the in
terests of the Portland Electric Railroad
by securing for the public greater priv.
ileges and still better accommodations.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Address Made by Father Clark, President
of the Association.

In an address made by the Rev. +. E.
CLARK, D. D., president of the United
Societies of Christian Nndeayor, in Bos-
ton, he said:
Already the nations of the earth have
begun to hear the joyful sound, already
they are turning their faces Zionward.
In the city of London, from the great
clock tower of the Parliament buildings,
IA the hands of the great clock mark the
completiona of each hour, Big Ben tolls
forth his thunderous peal, while at the
end of each quarter little melody is
nlaysd upon the chimes. which consists
of q few notes from the oratorio of the
Messiah For eight miles around. the peo-
pie in smoky London every Is minutes
hear the sweet sound, II know that my
| q uarter of an hour. into all the slums and
| novels, as well as into all the palaces
| of London, penetrates the joyful sound,
ST know that my Redeemer Iiveth''
| So the world, in it's limitness need, is
beginning to feel the power of limitiess
supply; is beginning to hear the song
that sounds over land and sea, and which
eyermore, in fuller peal and more Joyous
chorus will resound to all the ends of
the earth, 81 know that my Redeemer
liveth.
| DIR. Clark also illustrated his address by
reference to different missionary lands
which he had visited, and urged his hear
ers to make the most of the rising tide of
missionary enthusiasm among the young
people, which he declared was growing
stronger and stronger among the socie-
ties Of Christian Endeavor which would
be especially connected, and which give
promise of making the coming generation
pore thoroughly devoted to the work Of
missions than any that has gone before.
He declared that the enthusiasm for this
subject wasssa most remarkable and that
the one idea which more than any other
seemed to arouse the generous impulses

of young people are offering themselye

THE NEW CHURCH.
Formed by the Action of the Council at
South Portland Yesterday.

About two years ago number OF the
citizens of South Portland banded to-
gether for the purpose of forming a
society of Congregationalists. This little
band has been persistent in its efforts,
and by hard work has SO far prospered as
to be able now to form themselves into
church. Feeling their strength, they APP
piled for the privilege of incorporation
and a council from the different Congre-
patiopal churches was chosen at a meet
ing held about two weeks ago at Y. M.
G. A. hall, this city. After the transac-
ton of the necessary business the meet
ing was adjourned to again convene at
Union hall, South Portland, yesterday
when the society should be formed into
a church. Consequently, yesterday at
2. p m., thestime appointed, services
were held in the above named hall. In
spite Of the rain every seat inkthe house
was occupied, one-third of the hall being
reserved for those active in the servicse.
The visitors arrived on the $50 ferry
after which the council met in the ante
room to finish business which was post
poned from the adjourned meeting.
About O'Clock the council, of which
nine were presen t, entered the hall and
took their seats on one side Of the room
near the pulpit, the choir occupying seats
opposite.
The reserve space for the participants
was decorated with chrysanthemums and
potted plants. The minutes of the last
meeting were. read, after which the choir,
which belonged in Portland, sang an
anthem. Fifteen members were received
into the new church by their pastor, Rev.
M. f. Andrews. Three were taken in by
letter, and one by baptism. The scripture
lesson was then read, after which prayer
was offered. The choir rendered a selec-
ton and DR.. Jenkins of State street
church, preached a very eloquent
sermon.
Prayer was offered and the sacrament
of the Lords Supper administered to all
followers of the Saviour, who Were
present By this time darkness had so
enshrouded the unlighted audience that
the faces of the other SIP eakers could not
be discerned.
Rev. William Wood, pastor of the
Methodist church of South .Rortland,
came into the meeting after the services
of his church were over and very cordial
ly greeted the new church in an able ad-
dress, welcoming them very heartily in
our midst and hoping that the combined
efforts of the two churches will be more
effected in formating the cause of religion
in the village. Mr.. II. B. Walton, the
superintendent, then. made a few re-
marks, saying that the church was start
ing und er very favorable circumstances a
lot of land situated in the centre of the
village, having been presented them by a
friend of the church. who wished his
name withheld, for the purpose of erect
ing buildingsof. worship. The meeting
was dismissed at L. 80, enabling the people
from the city to get the 4. 40 ferry.

InrMEprArE RELIEF

| Mayor Hendrick didn't bodily step to
the front last evening in the dust mat
ter, because his rheumatism wouldn't
let him. But his mind. which is not
in the slightest degree rheumatic,
pranced right into the foreground and
filed it in way that will make the
people of New Haven realize that they
have a mayor who can both think and
act when there is need. The mayors
communication to the Board of Alder
men was right to the point. He wasted
no words, but told the aldermen in
capital letters that IMMEDIATE RE-
LIEF was wanted. Then, also without
waste of words, he presented a plan for
IMMEDIATE RELIEF. His plan is
sensible and practical. 1t was prompt
ly adopted by the Board of Aldermen,
as was also his recommendation that
such legislation as is needed in the
matter be procured. The definite and
practical report of the Committee on
Streets was also adopted,
This is business, and business of the
right kind. 1t begins to look as if we
are really to have a sensible and benefi-
cent plan of street watering, and that.
Kind Heaven is not to be much longer
looked to as our chief street sprinkler.
Kind Heaven has, it is true, saved us
from total humiliation by the dust.
but an ample number of watering carts,
making regular and comprehensive
rounds, will be more reliable. The
work that has been done by our spirit
ed and philosophical mayor, the Com
mittee on Streets and the Board of
Aldermen will be heartily and joy
fully approved, and the Board Of Coun-
cilmen will be looked to to do it's part
with the same vigor and promptness
that characterized last nights work.
Out Of the dust have we cried unto
the powers that be, and they have
heard us. 1t has been long crying and
strong crying, but the day of full de-
liverance seems to be at hand The
only thing that win indefinitely post
pone 1t is too much talk. Let us all,
therefore, hold in and say little except
the two words made prominent and
forcible by the Mayor IMMEDIATE
RELIEF!
