SONS OF VETERANS.

Col Arthur NJ. Soule, Division Com
mander, S. of ", has issued his first or
der, series 1898. Among other things It
recites that che resignation of Alfred R.
Hall as Division Inspector was received
January 10th. The same has been ac-
cepted, and E. N. Courson of
Appomatto1 Camp, No. So. of Bruins
wick, has been appointed to fill the va.
cancy. Reference is made to the appoint
ment of Capt. H. M. Nickerson as a
member of the committe to secure ma
tional legislation furthering military in
struction in the public schools Since
the last order Charles Pierce,
John L. Pierce and Josiah Garnett, of
Camp 81, of Machias, and Alfred g. Rog-
ers. of Camp AZ of Carmel, have died.
Attention is called to the consolidated
report from Camps with regard to the
progress made during the past quarter.
There were gained from all sources 1873
members. Of this number IS were mus
tered into the Camps at South Standish
and Rockland. The remaining number
was gained by muster and reinstatement
into the other Camps of the Division.
This gain of itself ia commendable andAis
worthy of praise. On the other hand it
is to be deplored that the officers of
Camps are not more diligent in their
efforts to retain the members who be-
come in arrears for dues and are allowed
to suspend without the proper effort to
retain them. The excellent gain Of the
Division was offset by the unpardonabls
losses, particularly on the suspensions,
which amounted to nearly 100 members
Members are urged to increase the numer-
ical as we'll as the social strength of the
Order. Let each Camp strive to gain ct
least five members between this time and
the end of the quarter, March 31st.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURES.

All those who have had the pleasure of
meeting and hearing Rev. Lewis Malvern,
the eloquent preacher and pastor of the
First Free Baptist church in this city,
may not know that he is an able lecturer
as we'll. He being native of England,
has travelled much in foreign countries,
and has obtained many fine views of
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales,
such as never have been shown in Port
land before. Mr.. Malvern has given his
lectures in other states which have been
received with great enthusiasm. The
public will be pleased to know that he
will give two of his best productions en-
titled GA Day In London" also Provincial
England, Ireland Wales and Scotland.
in the First Baptist church, some time in
the month of March, dates to be an
nounced later. Mr.. Malvern illustrates
with stereopticon using special light
and throws his views upon I'm artistically
arranged screen. For dates and prices

DEER CHASED BY DOGS.

Lewiston, February s5.-Greene is
greatly excited over the presence on
Hooper pond of four deer, that have been
chased there from up the river road by
dogs Where the deer first made their
appearance is unknown. But Thursday
they were discovered on the pond. being
ruthlessly torn and mangled by two shep-
herd dogs, one belonging to Libbeus Jen.
nings, the other to Deputy Sheriff Long
ley. Three Of the deer were injured, the
fourth terribly SO, one of it hind legs be-
ing broken and the flesh 1acerated by
bites from the dogs. Many of the promi-
nent citizens were apprised of the facts,
but dared not shoot the deer or make any
effort to secure them alive, ION account Of
the penalty OF forty dollars for so doing.
A young man by the name of Poole,
as O last resort shot and killed the Jen-
nings dog, and wounded the other.
The deer did not attempt to flee from
him, but submitted to his caresses in the
most pitiful manner.
The situation is peculiar. In order to
spare the deer they will have to shoot the
dogs, as no one dares take them in
charge. Under the circumstances Game
Warden Carleton has been telegraphed.

DEERING VOTERS SHOULD REGIS
TER,
To the Editor of the Press:

~ No EUttOF " CNo L 1865.
1t is time that Deering citizens
awakened to the Importance OF register
ing as voters Not more than seventy five
per cent of the poll lists are registered
voters at present. In Portland, where
there is larger percentage of aliens MOI
voters, there is, nevertheless, much
larger percentage of registered voters.
THE ought not to be so.
You cannot vote unless you seasonab1y
register, and, once registered, your name
remains upon the list so long as you re-
side in the city.
You cannot afford, you ought not to DO
willing to allow yourself to remain long
er disfranchised, unable to vote IN Ma.
tional, State, or Municipal elections, OF
caucuses, when all SO vitality concern you,
your business, and your household. lhIs
year YOU have not only to elect men to
spend you money and provide you Win
decent, economical governments, pu6 you
must pass upon the question OF Ghe an
nexation of Deering to Portland. the ben
efits of which will continue to accrue
even to your great grand children.
The law fixes the sessions OF the BOARD
of Registration, for purposes of register
ing Voters in Deering, upon Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, March LIST,
end, and 3rd, forenoon. afternoon, and
evening; and on Friday, March 4th. in
the forenoon and afternoon, until i've
O'Clock only.
This is the only opportunity during this
year. The law works unfortunately for
travelling men, large number of whom
reside in Deering. They go away Mon
days and return Saturdays. But they
should make a special effort to be reg
isteed once for all, and their employers
ought to assist them to 1t. Ihere never
will be a better time, never time more
important to the best interests OF the two
cities, Portland and Deering.
The office seekers and politicians al
ways see to it that they and their friends
are registered. 1t is the busy business
men, who are likely to forget it until
after it is too late. This year the larger
part of the politicians in Deering are in
terested to defeat annexation and SO you
cannot rely upon them TO remind you,
hence the more reason why you should
look you for yourselves and register upon
the above dates

SEBAGO.

Sebago, Feb. 24.-The Cumberland
Count Baptist Association hold their
quarterly meeting at New Limington
church at Convene, OH the first Saturday
and Sunday of March.
A Republican caucus will be held at Sc
bago Town Hall on Thursday afternoon,
March 3rd. 1t is expected there will be
quite large vote cast at the annual cleo
ton, but probable not quite so large a
Democratic vote as was cast q year ago.
The Republicans will support Fred Hill
as candidate for collection as trustee. Ii
is doubtful whether the Democrats will
nominate candidate for such office as
members of the board have always
been reelected as their terms have ex-
pired.

A DIFFICULT TRIP.

The Madison Bulletin says: Clarence
A. Weston and Miss Alice r. Weston of
Portland started Monday for this place to
attend the funeral of his brother, John
E. Weston. They came by the way of
Skowhegan, but owing to the blockaded
condition of the road no cars were run
ming over the electrics from Skowhegan
to Madison. They took teams and got as
far as Charles Durrell's Monday noon,
four miles out from Skowhegan, where
their horses played out and they could
get no further. Mr.. Durrell and Miss
Alice Weston came in on snow shoes
Tuesday and notified the relatives of their
snowbound condition. Mr.. and Mrs.
Weston reached this village about
o'clock yesterday afternoon.

POLO TEAM AT DINNER.

The Portland polo team entertained
their many friends at shore dinner at
the Park hotel last night. The boys who
are making such fine record in the
Maine polo league this year have also won
the friendship of many people in this city
for their gentlemanly manners and be-
havior and this city has never before been
so cTeditably represented in hny sport as
it is in polo today. At last nights dinner
there were all sorts of goou things to eat
and those who were fortunate enough TO
receive an invitation thoroughly enjoyed
themselves Speech making, music and
story telling made the evening pass most
pleasantly for all.
