Tbs result of the election seems to
have had most sslutary effect on the
business interests of the country already
and from every direction comes reports Of
renewed activity in manufacturing and
commercial circles. This shows that
enfdence has been fully restored, and
after all this was the missing linchpin in
the wheels of progress. Even the banks
are now complaining of surplus of gold,
which was so scarce but a few weeks ago,
and which now seems to have come from
its hiding place with every assurance that
the present financial system is to be
maintained and that the country is enter
ing upon new era of prosperity, rival
ing even the most prosperous times since
the war. We hope this bright forecast
will be fully realized.

One of the first things that Congress
should do next month when it assemblies
is to pass what is known as the Dingley
bill, now on the calendar of the Senate,
to provide additional revenue for the
government. 1t is thought that President
Cleveland would sign it, or at least allow
it to become law without his signature.
This would obivate the necessity for an
extra session of the Fifty.fifth Congress
in March. The passage of this bill
would afford the needed revenue, and the
silver Senators have no further occasion
to flock it's passage, while the absence
OF. an extra session would give the
country rest, two requisites quite essential
now to help on the prosperous times that
seem already to have come.

months. Everything having been done
for her which could be done, it was de-
oided to take her to the Eye and Ear In

entire change might benefit her. At first
she seemed to improve, then gradually
she began to fail till the end came,
Thursday, March 9Th. She had very
happy disposition, always seeing tine
bright side of rything and none knew
her but to love.her. She leaves a most
devoted husband, dearly loved daugh-
ter. Bessie; a father and mother; three
brothers, Charles, George and Frank, and
one who has been as sister, besides many

The tributes were many and beautiful.

asleep among the flowers. Among the
floral offerings was star with "Dot"

PORTLAND.

This plan contemplates dredging out
the mud so as to secure a uniform depth
of water of three or fe ur feet at low tide
The mud excavated to be deposited upon
the site of the boulevard ana islands. A
considerable saving in the cost of dredg-
ing out the cove will be saved by putting
in two sor three islands few acres in
extent, which can be eventually covered
with shrubbery and trees, and upon
which Casinos, Kiosks and refreshments
booths can be erected.
The most serious objection to the dyke
is that it fills up and reduces the wet
basin of Back Cove.

Tom Thumbs wedding

- y
Imagine brilliantly lighted church
filed with guests, the organ playing a
wedding march as the bridal party, con-
sisting of ushers, bridesmaids, maid of
honor, the bride and father, and par
ents, walk down toward the altar, and
that was what took place at the Church
of the Messiah last eyening-in minia-
ture.
It was called "Tom Thumb" we'd
ding, because all who took part in 1t were
from the smallest members of the Sun
day school, The customs of real we'd
ding wsre adhered to. The bridal party
were met at the altar by the groom and
his best man, the father Of the bride Civ
ing her away. The ceremony was per-
formed by a bishop in pantomime. The
gentlemen" of the party were all at
tired in full dress su its. and the costumes
Of the ''ladies'' were copies of the dresses
of their elders. The names of the partici-
pants and parts taken were as follows
Bride, Bernice Woodbury.; groom, Otis
Lapham; maid of honor, Mildred York
best man, Willie Wish; ushers, Reuben
Mclean, Thurlow Bartlett. Cordis.sH odg-
don, Roy Lynch; bridesmaids, Monte
Floyd, Inez Harmon, Oracle Merrill,
Corinne Leaault, father and mother of
the bride, Chester Butler. Shirley Gar
den; father and mother of groom, Ralph
Sawyer, Lucy Weber; bishop, Mel CAL
derwood
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
happy couple" held reception in the
vestry, to which place those who wit
messed the affair adjourned. Here for al
most two hours a social time was had,
and although the crowd was very great
all seemed to enjoy themselves. Refresh
ments were served by large number Of
walters.
The committee having the entertain
mont in charge were Mrs. W. M. Kim
nell, Mrs. w. O. Pitcher and Mrs. E. H.
Sargent The decorations of the church
were very pretty and consisted of an
evergreen arch in each OF the centre
aisles, and an immense floral bell under
which the bride and groom stood. The
committee having this in charge were
Mrs. H. E. Sherman, Mrs. F. N. Calder
wood and Mrs. M. Simonds,

the direction of Mrs G. Pettes. Mrs. r.

DEERING.

The case of Ellis NJ. Sawyer, who has
been sent to jail for 80 days by the Deer
ing Municipal Court is sad one and the
result of misfortune rather than wrong
doing. 1t was stated by one of his rela-
tlves yesterday that several years ago the
young man received suDstroke, and
recently has been acting in manner SO
strange and violent that his relatives and
friends believe that he is not in his right
mind. 1t was while in this condition
that he was arrested after visiting Port
Land and scattering about a lot of checAs
drawn on bank where he has money on
deposit. After his arrest, in his violence
he bent with his hands two OF the iron
bars IN his cell. In the absence OF the
necessary proof of insanity however. it
was not possible to send the young man
at once to an asylum, and SO, with the
consent of his relatives, he was COM
mlttsd to jail. Examination will be
made as to his mental condition, and
1t is probable that he will soon be taken
from the jail to the asylum.

seen the Sheridan Rifles could fail to
admit that it is composed of excellent

credit to Capt. Conley both for it's forma-
ton anil for the high standard of disci-
pline and training which he has always
maintained.

Perhaps you would not think SO, but
a very large proportion of diseases in
New York comes from carelessness about
catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
1t ia such simple thing and so COM
mon that very few people. unless it is a
case of pneumonia, pay any attention to
a cold. There are a great MANY cases OF
catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the sim
plest precaution of every day life. The
most sensible advice is, when you have
cold, get rid of it as soon as possible. !"

owes its existence to the securing action
Of the waters OF the reservoirs ON the
returning ebb."
Any dyke across the Cove would reduce
the apparent size of the Cove, impound
one half of the water basin, and reduce
the dowage one half at least. Moreover,
in commercial sense it should not be
allowedsbecause 1t outs off one half of
the shore of the Cove from the waters
OF the harbor. While 1t may not be de-
sirable to have many docks near the bou-
leyard it would be unwise to cut off all
vessels from the Deering shores Of the
Cove. Now feel sure that when the
city governments examine this scheme
they will find this plan has greater prac-
tical value than any plan which shall cut
up the waters of the Cove and thereby
destroy its beauty.

The Opening Of the Educational Glasses
Last Evening.


The opening of the educational classes
Of the Y. M. c. A. last night was a very
enjoyable and successful affair. The
musical program by Prof. Delano's Gui-
tar, Banjo and Mandolin club was
charmingly rendered, and the recita-
tions by Prof. McFarlane were thor
oughly appreciated. Rev. Warren F.
Day gave an address upon The Man
Within the Workman. He said: In
whatsoever garb or occupation we find
him, there Is a man within the workman.
Nine e-tenths of the skill of the workman
is in the brain and nine-tenths Of the man
is in the heart. Men may be sensitive of
reputation but utterly careless of repu-
tation They may become such ma
chimes that they will become oblivious
to everything but business. 1t rests
with the man himself whether he shall
be sunk in the workman, become mere
machine.
How shall he avoid this? He must
have the spirit of fidelity in his work.
There is tendency to have nothing but
the end of the days work in view.
A man can never do his best when he
feels he is not justly compensated. The
man who puts his heart into his work
will find the day is shorter The care
to be clean in character, to be agreeable
to others, to be we'll informed, will de-
velop the man within the workman. The
realm of knowledge is open to you, and
the use of your spare time in study and
reading will give entrance into and
possession of portion of the realm. The
Y. M. G. A. opens it's doors to those who
wish to use their spart, t11e to the best
advantage. Care to be such a one as
that the man is above the animal.
At the close of the address number of
new members was added to the associa-
ton and the enrolment Of the classes
was effected
