Last night was memorable one for
Portland Lodge of Elks. 1t marked the
suspicious opening of the seventh year of
its existence as a lodge, and its future
seems exceedingly bright The annual
election last evening served to call out
the largest meeting since the organization
of the lodge six years ago.
In 1890, Portland Lodge, Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks, No. 1888,
was organized with some forty odd mem
bers, it has steadily grown until today
with over two hundred active members
1t stands among the most successful and
influential lodges of the order in the
United States. Its finances are in good
condition, it possesses a splendid lodge
room and beautiful club rooms, and bids
fair to attain ever great successes in the
future
There was lively but good natured
contest last night over the Office of Ex-
allied Ruler of the Lodge, the candidates
being Messrs. John P. Weloh of Portland.
and Edwin Parsons Of Kennebunk. Mr..
Parsons was successful, and on motion
of Mr.. WEIGH, his election was made
unanimous.

FAVOR THE CHARTER.
Cyclists and Calliopeans Will Work

Instrument.

Much interest in the new charter is
being manifested in club and business
circles. The Calliopean Club, which num-
bers among its members many cf the
leading young gentlemen of the City, in
tends to inaugurate discussion upon the
proposed instrument, with view to advo-
eating its adoption In order that the

each mem ber Of the club.
Another organization as deeply inter-
ested IN the matter is the new Cycle Board
of Trade, which held its inaugural session
last Wednesday mig hit in the CycIorama
building. The board is paying particular
attention to those portions of the instru.
ment which deal with the matter of streets,
roads and boulevards and their improve
ment and extension. j. s. Conwell, a
member of the boards executive COM
mittee, called at the rooms of the Mer-
chants Association yesterday and took
away large number of copies of the
Synopsis" and also of another pamphlet
containing the constitution OF the assoca-
ton, with a brief historical outline OF its
work. Mr.. Conwell expresses the convic-
tion that the adoption of the new charter
will be OF great advantage to wheelmen,
and he will see to the distribution of
the pamphlets among the members of the
board and of the various cycling clubs. In
his opinion, as soon as the matter is well
ventilated and understood all the wheel
men of the City will be found to be firm
supporters OF the new charter.

If it were possible to reproduce in cold
type the emphatic tone in which men and
women from every part of the United
States speak and write of Paine's celery
compound not word more would be
needful.
Unfortunately, when published in the
stereotyped pages of daily paper these
enthusiastic letters can't help losing part
OF their earnest persuasive character.
Paine's celery com pound Is not one of
the many sarsaparillas or nervines that
manage to make themselves public, as far
as their mere names go. but without max
ing themselves known to suffering people
by actual use. Paine's celery compound
has been used and enthusiastically recon-
mended by the M ost judicious, considerate,
careful men and women in every city in
the United States, as an absolute cure for
nervous debility and exhaustion, neural
gia, sleeplessness, melancholia, hysteria,
headaches, dyspepsia. rheumatism, kid
ney trouble and all blood diseases. It is
the best spring remedy in the world.

are outworn and diseased. That terrible
throbbing of the heart, the neuralgia, the
headache, the leaden weight over the eyes
and in the forepart of the head, need only
Paine's celery compound to vanish forever.
Paine's celery com mpound has come legiti-
mately by its present tremendous reputa-
ton as an invigorator. nerve-regulator,
blood-restoreran and body-recuperator. There
is nothing experimental about it.
No remedy in existence ever received
such emphatic and plain spoken testi-
monials from sick, ailing, tired and run
down men and women.
1t is no halfway cure that is attempted
by Paine's celery compound, but a clean
sweep of every trace of neuralgia, rheu-
matism, constipation, headache, dyspepsia
and blood impurity from the system.
Take Paine's celery compound in the
spring to purify the blood, strengthen the
nerves and make health!

STEHOGRAPHER'S PLANT
He Sues F. Alleyne Orr, the
Attorney, for $40 for
Services Rendered.
An Agreement Made That the Statute
Should Not Run Against the
Debt.

Attorney F. Alleyne Orr, who gained
fame and it was supposed fortune. in
settling the GLAZING of the men of the
United States cruiser Baltimore against
the Government of Chile at the time
they were assaulted in Valparaiso by
Chilean soldiers, was sued in the
Justices Court yesterday for $40, the
complaint making some very peculiar
allegations. One is that Orr made an
agreement with the plaintiff that the
statute Of limitations should not run
against the debt.
The plaintiff, Robert Williamson. al.
leges that within several years last past he
performed services as stenographer and
typewriter at the special instance and re.
quest of Orr, of the reasona BILE value of $50.
That of said $50 plaintiff waived to defend.
ant the payment OF about $50, the defendant
claiming that he could not get the money from
his principal or client.
That of the remaining $50 defendant pa id
plaintiff sums in the aggregate amounting 10
$40, from one nickel and upward at time
and gave the plaintiff an Acknowledgement to
keep the statute of limitations from runnino
against the same.
That there is still due and unpaid to plaintiff
the sum of $40. despite the fact that for nearly
two years plaintiff, two or three times week
said Orr at time definitely stated has de-
manded it.
That plaintiff has suffered great loss of time
ana great and grievous wear and tear of shoe
leather in the efforts to collect from said Orr

headed, winning as he pleased by four
lengths, with Olive in the place. Montal-
lade disposed of Thornhill for the show.
Sam Hildreth's recent purchase, st. Lee,
was another very warm choice, going to
the post 9 to 20 for the mile and sixteenth
run with five starters. He won, but only
after hard tussle through the stretch with
Tar and Tartar.
The colt was always in front, closely ac-
companied by the Tar. Swinging into the
stretch on nearly equal terms the pair be-
gan ding-dong struggle. Less than a
furlong from the wire st. Lee looked
beaten, but responding to Gamers per-
suasive urging came away under punish
ment and won by half length. Dungar-
ven, well played for the place. was poor
third.
The black loan covering to the course at
lngleside is evidently not to the liking OF
Tim Murphy. Backed from skies down to
AZ to in the betting on the last race, a
six-furlong selling affair, he showed very
prominently in front to the stretch, where
the field closed on him. Striking the turn
fourth the 8 to favorite Palomacita went
to the front, winning easily from Walter
J. Tonino nosed Tim Murphy out for the
show,
