The improvement Era for May opens
with the long promised article by DR..
John NJ Reiner on Mormonism. 1t is
in reality a letter, and 1T is devoted
wholly TO a discussion of polygany.
This seems rather strange when he says
to those to whom the letter is adj
dressed that the subject of polygamy
should, in his judgment, be left out of
their discussion. The letter is very
disappointing in that it doesn't treat
the subject to which it is devoted in
any but a cursory manner. The reply
of the editor of the Era to it is largely
a citation OF Biblical passages. He
certainly isn't afforded very much OPP

war would be the final transformation of
the United States into great military

them. The very duration of the civil war
left us. for that period, the foremost mill

TO EXTEND THE WHARF.
The Maine Central to Make Improve
ments,

There will be hearing next Thursday
at Exchange street, before the harbor
commissioners on proposition from the
Maine Central railroad to extend their
wharfage territory and to erect such
buildings as may be necessary. The
Maine Central now has wharfage OF
some 24O feet, but owing to the increasing
business, and the size of some of the new
vessels the facilities on Commercial street
we're found inadequate. The proposed ex-
tension will be IS feet long on the north
westerly side of the present wharf just
above Portland bridge, making the total
wharfage, when completed 1876 feet. AT
the meeting next Thursday, after the per-
functory granting of the privilege, work
on the construction will be commenced
Immediately. The Maine. Central is the

ooLoNisT CARS.
Grand Trunk Turns Out the First One for
Their New Service.

The Grand Trunk has turned out OF
their shops the first of the new Colonist
sleeping cars for their thorough service to
Winnipeg. 1t is now at the Bonayenture
station, and will be placed on the route
at once. These cars will be for the use
of passengers holding second-clags tickets
travelling long distances. They may,
however, be used by passengers for Toron-
to, Hamilton, London, Chicago, St.
Paul, KooteDay, Klondike and all points
in the Western States and Canada.
The first car leaves Portland on Mon
day, and the hours for departure from
Montreal are 8 a. NJ, and TO-. p. m. (,
every Tuesday. The car now at Bonaven-
ture station is finished in black walnut,
with inlaid woods, the upholstering being
done in bronze They are well lighted
and present very comfortable appear
ance The toilet appointments are first
class in every respect, the cars being pro-
vided with marble washstands, and
ample accommodation for both sexes.
Travellers can provide their own bed
ding or purchase an outfit from the COM
pany for js2.5o, the mere cost of the ma
terial.
Beds can be made in the car as COM
Portable as in any Pullman or Wagner,
as, the seats and upper berths are arranged
to all appea RANGES the same as any sleep
ing car for frst-class passengers. 1t is
safe to say that second-class passengers
never before had chance to travel under
such favorable auspices. People going to
the Pacific coast by way of Chicago
can transfer to similar cars on the Ameri-
can roads at st. Paul as the Grand Trunk
cars run only to Winnipeg.

ALONG THE WHARvEs.

During the month Of January IL, $40
freight cars were received and forwarded
in the Grand Trunk yard. Of this NUN.
Der s,55s were loaded and 4,021 were
empty. Each car will average about 81
feet in length. This would give total
of 427, 1886 feet of cars that passed through
the Grand Trunk yards in January.
The schooner Henry Lippitt finished
loading her cargo Of shocks at j. a. Ham

Saturday morning. 1t is a voyage of

duty of the shipping commissioner to ex-
anime dead seamnn's outtt or kit Sat
urday. morning. 1t belonged to the late
James Junk, second mate of the brig
Jennie Hurlbert, which arrived here q
few days ago with cargo of hard pine.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.
The Men Who Fought the Boy Orator oil
the Platte Still in the Business.

The national Democratic party, other
wise known as the Gold Democrats is, not
dead by any means. It has state COM
fnittee in Maine and the members OF the
committee met at the Preble house Satur-
day afternoon to take steps to secure the
extension and perfection of permanene
organization throughout the state. Inc
meeting was held in response to a call
from Hon. @. Vey Holman, the chairman.
All the members Of the committee were
present in person OF by proxy except two.
A PRESS reporter talked with Mr.. Hol-
man after the adjournment of the COM
Jnittee. Mr.. Holman is as energetic and
as sanguine as in the days when the gold
Democrats were organized TO fight the
Bow Orator of the Platte. He said that
there would be one Democratic candidate
in the field in the next state campaign.
This candidate would hold the views
which the national Democrats declare to
be those of the party. He would be
sound money man. Mr. Holman ex-
pressed the hope that he would be the
only candidate claiming to be Democrat
but tie sound money man would surely
be in the field.

SEVEN OUT OF sEvENTY-FIvE.
Young Rloomsr's Miraculous Escape From
Death on the Maine.

j. "a. Bloomer, the Young seaman on
the Inflated battleship Maine, has writ
ten several letters to his relatives and
friends in Deering since the terrible dis
aster and some of these letters have been
printed in the PRESS. One of the most
interesting letters this young man has
written was received by his brother few
days since.
ssAfter speaking of the death of his chum
and shipmate, William Tinsnan who was
blown up with the ship, the young man
goes on to say: 81 could not begin to tell
you all that happened that night. I was
asleep in my hammock when the explosion
took place. The first thing l knew was
on the water. swimming for my life and
things were flying all about me. After
hard struggle got to the top Of the water
and threw up all the dirty water I had
swallowed and then I was looking around
me and all could see was just one OF the
fellows. He called to me to swim over to
q piece OF the bow that was blowed off
help all about us. 1t was something
awful to hear them. l would not want
to hear them again for any amount of
money. 1t was the worse noise [ ever
heard in my life. The Spaniards came and
took us ashore and then we got in
wagons and they took us to the Spanish
hospital There they dressed our wounds
They had some hard looking cases there.
Some of them were burned all over and
died the next day. We lost five in the
hospital. Last Friday nine other fellows
and myself were brought over here to the
Naval hospital at Key West. We left
eleven in Havana Those were the worst
off. They could not move them. There
are two coming over in today's. steamer.
The papers tell you all about 1t for they
know more about it than we do. We
can't see how we got out of the ship
alive. There were rs men in the forecastls
where slept and only seven of them are
alive now. The most of the men slept on
the berth deck and there were only TWO
saved from that part Of the ship. There
were a lots more men on watch and the
most of them were saved, as were all but
two of the officers. Something like so men
and officers were saved in all and over $50
lost. / am doing well and am ready for
another blow up. Lovingly, your brother. "

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL COM
MITTEE.
10 the Editor Of the Press:

10 the Editor of the Press:
AS resident Of Portland, warmly in
terested in her welfare and progress, l
cannot bear to think she is SO much be-
hind the times as to continue to refuse
woman a place upon the school board.
Twenty years ago the experiment was
tried in New Bedford, and that same
woman stands today the senior member
of the board. Others cities have done like
wise, giving the sex which guides and
educates the children at home, place in
school management. Are our women
less competent than voters? Last year
the effort was made for an amendment to
the city charter which should place y'o-
men at large on the school boad, hoping
thereby to avoid the antagonism OF striv-
ing to take the place of any man. That
effort was unsuccessful and this year two
excellent women stand as non-partisan
candidates. Win not the good wives and
mothers of wards 1 and have the best
interests of their children at heart, urge
the voters in their own families to vote
forathese women? The home is not com
plete without the influence of both faith
er and mother, why then should not the
Indictment of a woman be of service in
school Tuatters. D. Il. W.
