The above order was issued last night.
The New Jersey naval militia with the
exception of four officers has been ordered
to leave today for home. 1t is probable
that these men will be assigned to anoth-
er ship as soon as they reach New Jersey.
Portland people should give these brave
New Jersey men royal send off when
they march to the station to take the
train. They were among the first men in
the naval militia in this country to re-
spond to the call for men and voluntarily
left their business and homes to bring
the Montauk to Portland. They have
created very favorable impression since
they have been here and have made many
friends.
The Portland naval reserves will go
into active service this afternoon. Yes
terday forenoon the two divisions re-
sponded to the call and assembled at the
armory for enlistment. About 200 men
turned out and from this number 50
man were detailed for the Montauk.
Among them are many old salts, and men
O. warsmen. There are also many fine
machinists, and practical men OF all kinds.
Besides these there are many of the best
young men in the city Of Portland, men
who will leave excellent positions and
comfortable homes to serve their county
to the best of their ability. Some of these
men have never slept in hammock and
have not eaten salt horse or hard bread
as steady diet, but they are patriotic
and are prepared to face every hardship.

men and they will doubtless prove very
efficient when they are moulded into
ships company.
AS soon as possible the Portland men
will be mustered into the service of the
United States and will be properly
equipped as far as uniforms and other
necessary articles go. In spite of the many
difficulties the Portland naval reserves
have been obliged to overcome they are
united and as loyal as ever to their orea-
nizations and will do their best in their
new service to show the people of Maine
that naval militia is a necessity and is
made up of the proper material.

in Ferrol, Spain. He was a big bruiser,

He ran with the barrel touching the

up in the calash and giving an exhibition
of driving skill that opened the eyes Of

" What are you doing there you Tub

improved methods of working are likely to
bring il into still wider use No other ma

the foundation of the telescope and the
microscope, the material for thousands of
utensils and ornaments and now to be
utilized for fence posts, it comes as near

thing that can be named. 1t is a long
reach from oiled paper windows to the
myriad uses to which glass is put to-day.
As late as the sixteenth century in Eng
land only the dwellings of the wealthy had
glass windows. 1t is reasonably certain
that Shakespeare, who was born I'm 1916,
first saw the light through lattice win
dows or oiled paper, and he was probably
a grown man before he looked through
glass window. 1t was first manufactured
in London, seven years before he was
born and could hardly have come into
general use for score of years or more.
Shakespeare makes many references to
glass and glasses, which were common in
England before window glass was He
also makes numerous references to win
dows, but they are the eyes, the windows
of the soul or open latticed spaces in the
wall of a house. The divine William knew
a great deal about wine glasses and ale
glasses. but very little about glass in any
other form. If he shaved himself, he
probabl used piece of polished metal
as mirror and the chances are he never
looked In a glass mirror until he went to
London. Shakespeare knew pretty much

CEREMONIES OBSERVED AT THE

Archbishop COrrigaD May BE Given

-. Rishop of the Church of Rome. 1t
IN bA the silver celebration of the arch
h;shon. and In itself it promises 10 be one
81 the grandest events ever celebrated in
che catholic Church of america.
Archbishop Corrigan is one of the most
a,s,inrujshed prelates of the church. He
u.,s made bishop May 4. 1873. in the
.,,bodral at Newark Bishop Corrigan
mas then the youngest man who had ever
recs,ved Episcopal honors in this country,
being then not quite "a years old.
He administered the diocese SO success
soIiv that in 1880 Cardinal McCloskey ask
Cd for his appointment as his coadjutor.
and he was named Archbishop of Petra -of
New York, with the rights of succession.
rive years later, when Cardinal Nc
Closlley died, young Bishop Corrigan was
made the head of the largest diocese In
tbo United States, if not in the world
WITH the tile of archbishop. This position
Archbishop Corrigan has held to the pres
ert day.
In May, when he celebrates his jubilee
there will probably be other honors be-
slowed upon him. 1t is rumored that Il is
the intention of Pope Leo to confirm his
successful work by comforting upon him
the cardinals hat. This would be a fit
ring acknowledgment of his long useful
career.
The only drawback to the bestowins
of the rank of cardinal is the great pa
