HANDSOME REMEMBRANCE.

The many patrons of the Springfield Rubber Tire company have received from that enterprising firm a most beautiful remembrance. It is in the shape of pretty little clock, which is encased by wheel of gold spokes. This wheel is equipped with a solid rubber tire. The clock weighs about ten ounces and the wheel is five and one half inches in diameter. It is one of the most unique and appropriate presents seen recently.

ESCAPE OF THE THEATER.

The foresight of Manager Bunnell of the Park City theater saved that build ing from suffering from the fire. The top of the elevator in the Standard building adjoins the theater building. When the stage roof was raised a couple of years ago the petition be- tween the adjoining buildings was of corrugated iron. This thin partition was removed by Manager Bunnell and a solid brick wall put in its place. This wall prevented the fire from getting into the flies of the stage. As it is the stage is not injured the least particle, not a drop of water or a puff of smoke finding it's way into the building.

SALVATION ARMY DINNER TO
 THE POOR

From all reports New Haven's poor did not want for a Christmas dinner yesterday, and those, if any, that went hungry are few indeed. At the head quarters of the Salvation army on Union street splendid Christmas din- ner, for which donations had been so- licited for the past two weeks, was served. About $75 had been contributed in cash donations, besides large quan- tity of meats and other provisions by New Haven's merchants, and splen- did dinner, consisting of turkey, chick en and other meats and fruits, was got up. Admission was by ticket only, and about three hundred deserving poor were rendered happy and contented. It was a gladsome sight to see the poor mothers and their little ones sit down to the well filled board and enjoy a meal such as it had not been their good fortune to eat for many a day. Lonely, homeless men, too, from the cheap lodging houses had been kindly remem- bered, and came in to thaw out their chilled limbs beneath the warmth of the great roaring fire which had been built.
 In the evening services were held, which were largely attended.

But little was talked on the street
and in the hotels, last evening, besides
the disaster to the Portland. There
was a report. earlier in the day, that
Charles +. r. Towne, the son of 3. +.
Towne, OF this city. and student at
colby, was among the list of passen-
gers. This, however, proved to be
without foundation, as Mr.. ToJyne ar
rived in this city, by train, in the morn
ing. Another report was current that
Mis- Alice Nelson was on the steamer.
Friends of Miss Nelson who were in a
position TO know whether or. not she
had started, were kept busy good
part of the day, answering telephone
calls, in regard TO Miss Nelson's safety
Miss Nelson arrived in this city, on the
afternoon train and eased the minds of
her friends. a report was current that
a Benton man was on the Portland, as
il was understood that he was among
those who had started by that steamer.
a search among the names of the pas
sengers failed to reveal his name.

WATERVILLE.
SCHOOL FOOT BALL LEAGUE
Is Again Being Asiiated by the Players in
This City.

An effort is being made by the people
interested in school foot bali in this
city to form a school league so that a
schedule of games may be arranged
for the foot ball season, next fall
While the Coburn boys were in Saco
and the High school boys were in Ban
gor the plan was talked over and all
to whom the plan has been mentioned
are most favorable to the idea. 1t is
the plan TO issue a circular letter with
in a very short time so that meeting
Of representatives Of the different
schools may be held in short time
The plan has been talked over for
something like three years, and many
of the best foot bali writer's in the
State have advocated the idea, but as
yet little has come of it. The league
as tried one year was not a great sue
cess. Those who have taken hold OF
the idea, this fail are determined 10
push it through. The foot bail season
has now closed ana the nearest that
any one can come as To how the school
championship stands is that Hebron is
the champion team. While Hebron has
the champion team 1t is not so much
that the championship has been fairly
won, as because some of the best fit
ting school teams in the State have
been afraid To meet the oxford Bears.
With Hebron first no one dares TO
place any team second with any de-
gree of certainty. According to the
games played. Thornton Is entitled TO
second place but the fact that Referee
Haggerty awarded the Waterville
High-Thornton game to the local team.
makes a question of Thornton's being
entitled to second place.
On account of the mixed UP conii-
ton of the teams an attempt is to be
made to form a league. The plan is TO
have the league composed of Water
vile High. Kent's Hill. Bangor High.
Cony High. Coburn and Thornton.
Principals Johnson and Nelson are
very much in favor of the plan and
want meeting of the leaders in the
move. called as soon as possible. With
assistance from the other schools in
the State there is but slight question
that league will be formed.
