INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.

Miss Edes Of the South End Industrial
school, Koxbnry, gave very interesting
tccountSaturday of the work OF this school
of which she has been the superintendent
ior Ii years. The institution was first
started der the auspices of the Uni
tnrian churches of Boston, before the
manual training was introduced in the
public schools. Miss Edes described the
different departments of the school from
the kitchen, garden, graded sewing
school, to the millinery and dressmaking
for the girls especially; the carpenter
work for the boys and the cooking, print
ing, free hand and mechanic l drawing
for beth girls and boys. The ladies were
Quite surprised to hear that the boys
cooking class had been very successful.
Miss Edes is an enthusiastic, earnest
worker, and her account of the school
drew forth many questions from the Ia
dies, as TO the methods of teaching in the
different departments and the results of
the training upon the mind of the child.

FROM THE KLONDlKE.
Frosty Echo of Curses for the Govern
ment.

4 Washington, January 29-Mr. Carroll
D. Wright, comm issioner of labor, has
received personal letter from Mr..
Samuel Dunham statistical report of
the bureau of labor which was sent to the
Klondike some months ago to investigate
and report industrial position. The letter
is dated Circle City, Alaska, November
13, 1897, and gives an outline Of the prin-
cipal features Mr.. Dunham will incorpo-
rate in a comprehensive report. He will
endeavor to give an accurate account of
the Kloadike and the history of it's de-
yelopment. Mr.. Dunham says: 81 con-
siaer the situation grave but not desper-
ate. There Is food at Fort Yukon for 800
more men that are Wintering there and
t.is can be freighted to Dawson or part
of Dawson can so to it. Prices are
increasing in Dawson, flour selling for
$50 hundred and many other staples in
proportion. Luxuries are not quoted,
simply commanding what man feels
disposed to pay for them. Dogs have sold
as high as $500 apiece there and $500 has
been offered and refused here.
"Our mail carrier is still here, stranded,
without dogs or provisions to get out.
The government pays $500 for trip that
costs $780, Noboiy blamss the poor
carrier, but everybody damns the govern
ment and the contractors. I am we'll and
strong. The weather is fine, the coldest
to date being 25 below. Two feet of snow
on the ground. The sun rises at ten and
sets at two, giving us seven or eight hours
daily.

VETERAN FIREMEN's LEAGUE.

The annual meeting Of the New Eng
land State Veteran Firemen's league will
be held next Tuesday at Boston in the
headquarters of the Boston Veteran Fire
mems association at 1919 Washington
street. Officers will be elected and other

The delegates from the Portland Vet
eran Firemen's 8 association will be Presi-
dent James Plaisted and Mr.. Charles +.
Dam, who was elected alternate in the
place of Andrew ]. Cummings, who will
lie unable to attend. An effort will be
made at this meeting to get the New
England association to hold its coming
annual tournament in this city the last
Of August or first of September.
The matter will Dot be decided until
the May meeting of the association, but
a committee of solicitation has been ap-
pointed by the Portland Veterans, and
it is hoped that the citizens of Portland
will respond literally towards the expense
OF having the New England meeting here,
as 1t would most assuredly be great ben
eft to Portland, to have these visitors
from all over New England drawn TO our
shores at the time of year when Portland
is at her best.

COUNTY ATTORNEY ROGERS.
He viii Withd raw His Request for Judge
Fosters Rcappointment.

Grant Rogers, ESQ, County Attorney
of Sagadahoe, and Grand Chief Iemplar
Of the Maine Good Templars, had signed
Judge Fosters petition for reappolnt-
ment to the Supreme bench, but he has
written to the Governor that he wishes
to now be counted among the remon-
strants. In a letter to Mrs. Stevens, of
this CITY. president of the Maine W. c..
I. u, County Attorney Rogers explains
his change of stand. Following is copy
of the letter:
Richmond. Me-, January 2S.
Mrs. l.. M. N. Stevens, President OF the
Maine W. @. T. U:
Dear Madaln-With keen interest have l
watched the recent movements of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union in
its crusade against the saloon, and also
its efforts for social purity in It's protest
against reappointment of Justice Eos
ter.
While previous to these charges signed
his petition, shall send a letter to Gov.
Powers explaining the facts and protest
ing against appointment. Ihe law
yers in this State are placed in very pc.
ouliar relationship to the Supreme Court.
yet my faith in the fraternity leads me to
believe that there are few. at least, who
would not have signed the petition. had
the matter been delayed, unless the
charges are cleared up by Mr.. foster.
Social purity and clean character are
prerequisites to the true administration
of Justice, under all circumstances, and
no amount of legal acumen can compen-
safe for lack of it.
AS the war trumpet has been sounded
the battle is now between righteousness
and official and social immortality. If
you fail it will be a severe blow to your
noble order, as well as the cause of right
which you espouse. fear you will not
see your labors crowned with success IN
less much more is done You should
press this question SO sharply that every
church organization, church member and
good citizen in Maine must face the issue
and be recorded for or against reappoinU-
ment. You must remem ber that voters
| count in all phases of political matters.
A petition, signed by q large number OF
voters, should be sent to the Governor.
protesting aaginst reappointlnent. The
agitation must not cease, nor the work
| slum ber if you hope to win.

vance of that of any previous years. AS
an incentive to the men and to urge them
to do their best the state will offer a prize
to the com pany or corps receiving the
highest score at the annual inspection
this year. just what this prize will be is
not known, but it will be handsome
one and will be presented to the winning
organization at the next annual encamp-
ment of the State National Guard at
Augusta. The prize is to be the property
of the organization winning it.

sTHE pARKMoRE's EXPERIENCE.
The Trying Voyage of the Elder-Demps'er
steamship.

The first authentic news of the mlsnaps
of the Elder -Dempster liner Parkmore
was received by letter Saturday morning
from Captain Evans written to a friend
in the city.
The Parkmore has made one trip TO
this port this season and Capt Evans
brought his ship in two days before she
was expected. About the Lost of Decem-
Dor she sailed from Bristol on an e1tra
trip to Boston. She was in coal ballast
Brief telegraph news has stated that the
Parkmore has been lying at St. Johns,
N. f., where she was obliged to put IN to
report damages sustained at sea. Capt..
Evans's letter gives some idea of what q
siege they are having. He says:
"On. January we experienced some
very severe hurricanes which did consider
able damage about the decks and the
heavy rolling started the water ballast
tank, which leaked into the hold the ship
leaning to starboard, the bunker coal on
upper deck shifting and a port hole on
level with the water burst in. The water
poured into the forward port holes In
startling manner.
'By midday on January Z, we had
list of 30 degrees rolling in the heavy sea
to so degrees. We naturally had very
anxious time as every wave threatened TO
capsize her. Then to make matters worse
the engines broke down and the ship re.
fused to steer and lay in the hollow OF
the sea at the mercy of the wind and
waves. Night and day all hands We're
below bailing water and shifting coal;
Not single pump on the ship would
work. We were out of the track OF ships
and westerly gales were driving to the
north and east. 1t was looking decidedly
bad for us when, fortunately, we had two
