Here is an amusing story of Mr.. John
Hare and his coachman; Wishing to hear
particular performance at IA certain thea
ter, MIR. Hare sent his trusty coaohman to
secure stalls. In due time the plain, blunt
man, who understood more about stables
than theaters, returned heavily laden with
what appeared to be a difficult verbal
message.

the great actor.

In the whole arrangement is in the draping
of the piano-an upright-which is
swathed in embroideries and covered with

Essex Record of last week is a sample: " A

Burnham's Hustlers.

A fine group picture Of Manager Walter
Burnhams hustling Brockton team is in
the window of G. 81. Guppy g. Co. s
store. This team made one of the pretti-
est of fights for first place; oyercame a
strong lead which Newport had three
weeks before the close of the season. For
the last week Brockton andNewport were
tied until on Friday before the finish Sat
urday, Brockton came in ahead. Fall
River claimed by forfeit to 0 Saturday
forenoon a game which Manager Burn
ham declares was not agreed upon, and
his club did not go to Fall River. To
count this Newport was able to tie Brock
ton and thus destroy to great extent the
credit due Manager Burnham and his
B1ockton men for making a wonderful
uphill fight and finish against great
odds. 1t now remains for the New Eng.
land League at it's annual meeting to de-
ter1nine whether Fall River had the right
to claim forfeit game from Brockton,
and 1t is quite probable that the award of
the championship will rest upon this
point.

Mrs. Helen M. Barker at Pine Street
Church Last Evening.

Mrs. Helen Barker of Chicago spoke
last evening in Pine street church under
the auspices of the Portland W. G. T. u,
taking as the theme Of her remarks the
Reformation Under Nehemiah" Very
happily she gave an account of the build
ing of the wall around Jerusalem under
Nehemiah and dwelt upon those who as
sisted in the work and applied the story
to the wall of prohibition which is now
being constructed over and against the
demon of strong drink-a wall essential
to the salvation of our homes and the
protection of the nation.
AS high priests, sons of apothecaries
and doctors, merchants and daughters OF
the King helped to build the old wall SO
in our days these representatives should
stand shoulder to shoulder and by so do
ing and by means Of concerted work
victory must come to the cause of temper
ance.
Miss Barker is very pleasing and
forcible speaker and her remarks were
well received and at the close murmur
of applause ran through the rooms.

Bourke Cochran on Politics in Greatar
New York.

New York, September 25.-In letter
addressed to friend concerning the poll.
teal situation in this city, Mr.. Bourke
Cochran in part says:
~ rejoice that we concur in believing
that the election to the mayoralty Of any
man who supported the Chicago platform
would not merely be a municipal disoredjt
but a grave national calamity.
Because we believed that the Chicaoo
platform was crusade against honesfv
we feel ourselves bound in conscience to
repudiate its utterances, to deny the au-.
thority of the convention to adopt, and to
oppose the candidate who stood upon 1t.
What was immoral last year is immoral
this year. The man who is capable of
assailing the foundations of credit and
commerce must in our view be considered
as unfit to hold municipal office as he
would be to administer federal functions,
Ii Organism be tolerated much less en-
couraged in the great city which Bryan
himself has described as the enemy's
country, his supporters will remain in
undisputed control of the Democratic Or.
ganization and the campaign of devasta-
ton and disturbance through which we
passed through in 1896 will inevitably be
repeated in 1900.
fsIf Tammany would reaffirm now any
one of the platforms which she adopted
from 1885 to 1894, no honest Democrat
could refuse to support her candidate. If
she ratify, passively, or affirmatively. the
Chicago platform, she cannot justify her
conduct by platitudes about party loyalty.
She may repudiate the Chicago platform.
thereby earning the respect of our citizens
and creating possibility of victory, or
she may reaffirm it and rely for support
upon the revolutionary elements whose
numbers In this city are by no means SO
great as demagogues believe. But, If she
attempt to evade the issue of dishonesty
and disorders by empty platitudes or I'M
certain utterances, she will go down to
defeat beneath the hatred of her new al
lies and the contempt Of her ancient fol-
lowers. We are one in the opinion that
no Democrat can support a candidate who
Is directly or indirectly committed to the
monstrous doctrines of the Chicago plat
form. But in your view the Democrat
who cannot support the nominees of his
party should take refuge in the newly
established camp of non-p artisanship. I
am unable to adopt your opinion in this
respect. -
Mr.. Cochran then considers Mr. Lows
utterances and says: ellis failure to de-
scribe any plan OF administration what
ever for the improvement of the city de-
prives him, in my judgment, of any claim
to pre-eminent or even satisfactory quail
fioations for the office to which he as
pires. - ~
Mr.. Cochran declares that he cannot
undertake to support the candidacy of a
man who stands merely for individual
pretence.

LIVELY WHILE 1T LASTED.
But Last Nights Storm Got Through 1t Is
Work Quickly.

Boston, September ga small but
rather energetic storm developed this
afternoon over Cape Cod, and moving
rapidly up toward the coast caused
heavy northerly and northwesterly winds
from Nantucket to Eastport, and in
sections between this city and Portland
badly crippled telegraph communication.
The disturbance seems to have been CEN
trail southwest of this city about o'clock
but SO rapid was the course that at 8
o'clock the storm center was over Port
land, and an hour later the disturbance
had practically disappeared over the
provinces.
By 10 O'Clock the storm was well down
toward Quebec and was rapidly becoming
dissipated.
