Efforts are to be made at an early date
among the we'll known citizens of Wood
fords to form gentleman's social club.
Ever since the former Deering club dis
banded there has been no organization OF
this kind and there now seems to be o
strong desire to organize such club. In
the event of such organization the club
would probably locate in the rooms over
W. W. Harmon's barber shop on Deering
avenue.
At the Clark Memorial church, Wood
fords, last evening, the Rev. Wilbur f..
Berry of Portland, delivered to a large

offered ice cream and cake fer sale. The
lecture was thoroughly enjoyed, being u
series of personal "reminiscences of the
lecturer in the woods of Maine. The
society will doubtless realize goodly
sum as result of their efforts.

A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.

In his recent lecture upon scientific
foods, the distinguished Elisha B. Wor-
rell took occasion to pay a brief tribute to
one Of New England's most valued and
best known products. After describing
the physiological benefit of pure water, he
incidentally explained that the London
derry Lithia Water contained just the
proper elements to adapt it to the necessi
ties of over-fed Americans. Such an en-
dorsement should be source of pleasure
to the owners of the old rock ribbed

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.

Tonight at the city building there will
be caucus of the Republican members
of the city government to consider some
matters which were adjourned over from
Monday.
There is now vacancy in the office OF
inspector of plumbing. an office which is
directly connected with the board Of
health and which is under its manage
ment. The city council claims the right
of filling the vacancy while the board OF
health makes the same claim. In the
past the board of health has elected tbs
inspector of plumbing but this year the
city fathers say they are going to do II
and many legal authorities in the city
say they can see no reason why the city
council should not fill the vacancy II
they desire to do so. If the inspector of
plumbing is an officer elected by the city
fathers, why can't they also elect the
secretary of the board of overseers Of the
poor? This is what some of the city
fathers claim they have a right to do and
they will try and do it.
Another thing the present city gov
eminent intends to do. They will
probably appoint committee on the
poor department and claim right of
auditing all bills of the overseers of the
poor.
These questions will be settled at the
caucus tonight which will undoubtly be
a lively session behind closed doors
