In closing Mr.. John B. Heating the
British vice consul by whose efforts the
recreation rooms are kept open, stated
that he regretted the little interest which
was shown this work by the Portland
people. The expense of maintaining the
rooms was about $3.50 year and this sea-
son the donations had fallen $3.50 short of
this amount. He said he believed the
city of Portland could not erect more
fitting memorial in memory of the brave
sailors of the battleship Maine than a
sailors home and he hoped this might be
done. Every sea coast town Of any i'm
portance has @ sailors home but Portland
has 10 institution of this kind and the
nearest approach to it is the Seamen' e
Recrea ton rooms which have been large
" patronized during the past winter.

clandestinely passed the last few weeks
with Lieut.. Won Mattachich- Keglinoh,

Croatia. In the meantime her debts grew

was found in the field at East Deering,
yesterday.
Mr.. S. r. Gordon. who lives with his
son, ex-Alderman Walter I. Gordon. is
one of them, and he bases his opinion on
the description and cut Of the murdered
man which appeared in this mornings

tramps were seen coming from the hay
loft of Mr. Gordon's barn. Two boys who
saw them notified the elder MIR. Gordon,
and at his suggestion the boys went into
the hayloft and there found paper con-
tanning some cartridges.
A few minutes later the tramps came
back and asked the privilege of going
into the barn chamber, to find a revolver
which they had left there. They told
Mr.. Gordon that they slept In the barn
that night, having gained an entrance by
forcing open window. They went into
the barn and soon emerged with reyol.
ver They wanted to know if anybody
had taken the cal tridges which they had
left on the barn chamber floor. The bovs
handed over the cartridges and the cheeky
strangers let with the remark, "We'u see
you later. -
