The Nom Comm ssioned Officers asso-

quarters of Co. B last evening.
The most important feature of the eve
ning's proceedings was an address by
Lieut.. Charles @. Morton, 9th U. S. A.,
Lieut.. Morton spokesof Names geogra-
phical position rs frontier state. and
the prominence that its National Guard
would hold in event Of invasion. He
touched ON the non-commissioned Off
ers' responsibilities in maintaining disci-
pliue andskeeping up the standard and
efficiency OF the arms and equipment Of
the different commands,
terrible outory is being raised about
the hazardous condition of the range at
Stroudwater and unless immediate
steps are taken to repair the butt, some
serious casualty is likely to occur at any
time. This structure is the point of
refuge for the mon marking at the
target and one side has been shot away
to such an extent that a bullet may pener
trate the wall any day. The INSPECTOR
of rife practice Of the different oompa-
MES protest that they will be Obliged to
stop men from qualifying until it is
repaired.
Maine has been more liberal every
year with the National Guard but still
1t seems to unduly economical on some
vital points. For instance, much un-
favorable comment has been heard among
our business men upon the fact that
Maine alone, of all the New England
States, could not see it's way clear to
make an appropriation to send some por-
ton Of it's guard to represent the Dirigo
State at the Grant memorial exercises.
Talk has been made md some plans
formulated for raising fund in Port.
land by popular subscription to send the
Portland battalion.

ton from It's military force present al

WHERE is MARY PowELLq
1t Is Feared That She May Have Taken
Her Life.

Yesterday, the police were notified
that Mrs. Mary Powell, colored woman.
employed an q domestic at the residence
of Mr.. Hannaford, No. 1o2 Washburn
avenue. had been missing since Sunday
afternoon, and that IL was feared that
she might have committed suicide.
A reporter for the PRESS called at Mr..
Hannaford's and learned these partiou-
lars. Mrs. Powell is woman OF about
forty years of age, short ana very trick
set. weighing about $50 pounds. She
was employed by the Hannafords through
az Intelligence Office In Boston. Mrs.
Powell began her services about six
weeks ago but at the end OF last week
Mrs. Hannaford felt that she should not
be able to retain the woman as she was
unable to do her work.
1t seems that Mrs. Powell's sight was
badly impaired. She went to the Eye and
Ear Inf1rmafy and had examinations
made, and was told that one eye was
about useless, ana the other nearly go,
and that If she did not stop working she
would become totally blind. whether
this information had such depressing
effect that the woman could not over
come it of course no one knows. At any
rate, when she had her Sunday afternoon
of, last Sunday, she prepared to 90 out,
locked her trunk. leaving it, with all her
clothes in her room, and WIS last seen By
Mrs. Towle-who occupies the lower
tenement In the house with the Hanna
fords-as she was stepping OF the front
piazza, holding mp her dress with one
hand. and shading her eyes with the
other. There WAS Q small balance OF
wages due at the time of her departure,
40 that taking the facts that she left her
property, and also did not ask for the
money due, tine inference would seem to
be that she intended to return.
Mrs. Powells story about herself was
that she came from place called New
falls, Alabama, where her people are still
living. She had been married twice. Her
second husband travelled, getting jobs Of
work, and she was bunting for him when
she came North. After leaving Newfalll
she went to Jaoksonv lille for q shorJ time.
and from there to Ginoinnati, thence tc
one of the suburbs Of Chicago, thence tc
Boston, and to Clinton. Mass. In one OF
the two latter places she was told at Q
hospital that her husband had been sick
and died there, but were very curt with
her and showed her no proofs of his death.
Then she came to Portland.
The police are trying to get clue &c
the whereabouts of the missing woman.

The old Emerson piano was purchased
