DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION.

The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton have handed in report of their
work since their meeting in June, from
which we gather these facts. The COM
mittee organized in June 10th with the
appointments of Mrs. M. r. Kendall
chairman and Miss G. E. Mcdowell secre
tary. Miss Emily Kimball secured
hall with chairs and tables in
which to work and two sewing machines
from the Singer Sewing Machine COM
pnny which the company carried to Bos-
worth Post hall and kept in perfect re-
pair. At the first meeting, June 18th, 1T
was voted to purchase $50 worth of
material and as their means were mad g.
quate, appeal to the Sons of the Revolu.
tion for aid, AS the appeal did not meet
with ready respon Sc Miss Ada Mcdonald
was appointed treasurer and solicitor, and
from then on the prospec is frightened.
Later boz was sent to Col. Kendall at
Chickamauga and the contents are given
in the report. The box and contents were
received and Col. Kendall and Major
UImer returned tn anks BY the courtesy
of the M aine Steamship company the
uran sportation to Chiokamauga cost but
IS. SS, no charge being made from Port
land to New York.
After the aboys'' returned the work of
the chapter consisted of supplying
delicacies, and snch things in the way OF
Mig bit shirts and bath stockings, as were
needed for hospital uss by the patients at
the Maine General. The report concludes
with the statement that these boys were
as much as heroes those who todo the
bruntof battle and coming out of hospital
unprovided with proper clothing, it. is the
duty of the chapter to provide for them as
for as possible.

HER B RTHDAY.
Miss Annie Gould Remembered at the
Bethel Yesterday.

In spite of the disagreeable weather
there were number of loyal and inter-
ested women at the Bethel yesterday
aftern DON to attend the meeting arranged
for the birthday OF Miss Annie Gould,
one of our Portland young women, now
a missionary in China.
Mrs. william H. Fem presided, and
the meeting opened with singing and
prayer. Mrs. Fem then spoke briefly of
her recent trip to Springfield on the oc-
ca sion of the convention of the Woman's
Board of Foreign Missions, emphasizing
especially the fact, that among the names
of the missionaries who were mentioned
to be rsmem bered in their prayers, were
those of Miss Morrill, and Miss Gould, the
two from Portland.
Following Mrs. Fem. Mrs. Cullen
Chapman gave an account OF the Journey
to Springfield of the cordial reception the
delegates received there. and spoke most
enthusiastically of the great interest of
the meetings. 1t was the largest meeting
Mrs. Chapman said, which had ever been
held outside of Boston, representing the
delegates from New England and the
Middle Atlantic States. Mrs. Chapman
mentioned several excellent papers that
were read by the delegates pertaining to
methods of missionary work. and left to
Mrs. j. W. D. Carter the opportunity of
describing the meeting of the Daughters
of the Covenantors and the special one Of
the Missionaries. Mrs. Carter is full of
interest In this work and she described
with much vividness the meeting of the
young women-the Daughters of the
Covenantors-includin so many of the
students from Smith and Mt. Holyoke,
and of the earnest words spoken to them
by the women missionaries. Mrs. Carter
said 1t gave her great pleasure to repeat
the words of DR.. Smith ut an evening
meeting, who, in giving an account of
his journey through China, spoke in the
highest praise of the work which Miss
Annie Gould was doing in her sohool.in
China. There were many inter esting
facts given by other missionaries which
Mrs, Carter repeated with real enthusi-
asm.
Mira. Fem then called upon Mrs. John
Gould to tell tho ladies what she had late.

Gould read portion of recent letter

regular quarterly dividend Of ! 1-2 per
cent, and made the same payable January

The transfer books will be closed on No

President Tuttle says with reference to
the showing made by the September
quarterly statement that there is nothing
that he can say additional to what has al
ready been said. 1t was simply case of
poor general business. The western
prosperity has not reached the east and
the conditions all along the Boston and
Maine system as we'll as on the other
local railroad lines have suffered in conse-
q uence. For the month of October the
business of the road showed some slight
improvement, and he is hoping for better
things from this time forward,

LUNCH CoUNTER AT HIGH SCHOOL

Mr.. A. 3. Hall of the school commit
tee has just returned from trip to
Cambridge, Mass, where he investigated
the practical working of the lunch
counter, which Is maintained in the
Cambridge high school. He was much
pleased with the arrangements and is
satisfied that lunch counter run ON a
similar plan would be good thing to in
troduee in the high school here The plan
would be TO get some woman who Is
good cook to take charge of the counter
and sail wholesome and appetizing food
in small quantities at low prices. Ihis
would enable pupils to obtain a lunch at
recess time at cost of five or eight cents.
No one would be obliged to buy and any
body who desired could bring his Or her
own lunch the same as many do now.

| jan H. 1898
| The news of the lanulug of Gen. Miles
at Guanlca at the southwest shore of
Porto Rico, came as a genuine surprise
to the war department. 1t had been all
carefully planned that he was to make
his landing at another point as remote
as possible from the place where ne actu-
ally landed. Just why Gen. Niles made
this wide departure from the plans of the
department is not known but ii is sup
posed that he gathered some information
after he left Sibouey that induced him to
make the change. The result, however,
has been TO deeply perpleX the depart
ment officials and to considerably acrange
their carefully prepared programme for
the remainder Of the expedition. 1t will
now be necessary to intercept the sections
of the expedition already at sea heading
for certain selected points on the coast of
Porto Rico and 10 advise them of the
change of plans.
1t is another exhibition of the reliance
placed by the government in the dis
