LETTER BOXES FOR RESIDENCES.
Marshal Sylvester is Investigating Can
vasser.

For some days past three young men
have been canvassing the city for the
privilege of putting cast iron letter boxes
on the residences of citizens in accordance
with the new postal regulations. One of
the young men, who was the manager,
required each subscriber to pay a quarter
of dollar. Of this amount he claimed
that he had to pay eight cents to his as
sistants and that left him sevent cen, out
of which four cents were his perquisite.
He sent circulars to the houses of citizens
IN order to obtain subscribers. $40
Marshal Sylvester received one of the
circulars and he thought he would in
vestigate little. He telegraphed the
chief of police of Philadelphia, where it
was claimed that the boxes were made,
and the answer he received showed that
there was a firm of the name given by
the young man, that made the boxes
Other statements made also appear to be
true. The marshal, however, wishes to
investigate a little further in order to
satisfy himself that everything is right
in the matter The young man has
secured about three hundred subscribers
thus for.

OBITUARY..
DIR. Henry Kimball.

DR.. Henry Kimhall, one of the oldes
and best known residents of ourscity, died
Tuesday night at his home, 1853 Neal St.
He had for long time been afflicted with
organic heart disease, but owing to his
regular and abstenious habits of living
and the good care which he took of him
self, he was able to make his daily visits
to his office till within about week
DIR. Kimbau was native of Lowell,
Maine, and was born March IA, 1921. In
January, 1913, he was married to Miss
Mary Dearborn, who died about sixteen
years ago. Prior to his coming to Port
land, he had given some study to the pro-
fession of dentistry, and on his arrival
here went into the office of Dr. Head,
where he remained for few years, and
then opened an office of his own on Mid
die street. He subsequently took offices
with DR.. Bacon ON Free street, and they
practiced together for long time, some
thing more than fifteen years. He was
subsequently associated with DIR. French,
who after a few years partnership with
DIR. kimball went to Minneapolis, and
later on he was in the same office with
DIR. Giddings, and at the time of his
death he was associated with Dr. Morrill,,
with whom he had been for six or eight
years. DIR. Kimball was one of the old
est practitioners in the city, and in his
time did an extensive business, having
for his patrons the very best families
here, He was a man of exemplary char
acter and led most quiet and unobtru-
sive life. He found his solace in his
books, the numerous volumes of which
filled his room. He was a man of wide
information and unusual intelligence
To those who had the good fortune to
know him personally and intimately, he
bore a singularly happy character. His
kindly, gentle presence will he missed by
his numerous friends and acqaintances,
and his home, to which he was always
very much devoted, will sorely feel his
absence. He resided with his daughter,
Mrs. Annie Pennell, who has been I'M
firing in her devotion to him during the
last years of his life. He also leaves q
son, George B., whose home is at Allan
ia. Georgia.

FEARFULLY BURNED,
Miss Mary wier Was the Unfortunate
Victim.

Miss Mary Wier, a middle aged ladt.
keeps boarding house at No. 301 Cum
berland street, near Elm. Yesterday
afternoon she was engaged in house clean
ing and had brought a quantity of rubbish
out of the house, piled it in the back
yard, and then set it on fire. AS it didn t
blaze in quite as lively a fashion as she
desired Miss Wier poked 1T to make the
bonfire burn faster A puff of wind blew
the flames against her clothing, and as
she was dressed throughout in light
clothse, the flames went over her like
wild fire.
The screams of the sufferer brought the
neighbors to the spot, among them Rev.
Mr.. Woodward of the Second Advent
church, who succeeded in putting out the
flames. DR.. Bray, her own physician,
and Drs Bradford and Comedian, were
called. DIR. Bray said that in all his
practice he never saw any one SO terribly
burned. Miss Wier was taken to the Eye
& Ear Infrmary for the better opportuni-
ties afforded for treatment.
At a late hour last evening, it was
learned that it was practically impossible
for Mrs. Wier to live until morning.
MISS WEIR DEAD.
Miss Wier died at the Eye and Ear i'm
Urinary about twelve o'clock last night.

Reception at westbrook Seminary.

Last evening was the occasion of the
May reception given by the students of
Westbrook Seminary.
The reception is usually held the last
of the month, but as Miss Morton, their
teacher in French and German, is soon
to go abroad temporarily to pursue an
advanced course of study in these branch
es, it was decided to hold the regular re-
ception at this time as well as to tender
their beloved teacher a parting farewell
word. The evening was very pleasantly
enjoyed in the exchange of social greet
ings, after which a brief order of dances
was carried out under the direction Of
Mr.. O. M. Harris as floor director.
Miss Morton anticipates brief sojourn
in Europe and expects to return to her
classes at the seminary at the opening of
the fall term.
