SUDDEN DEATH OF SYLVESTER
MARI.

Early Saturday evening, Mr. Sylvester
Mari, for many years a prominent mer-
chant of this city, was stricken with apo
ple1y at his home onIBrackett street. Ply
sicians were summoned and did all that
they could but Mr.. Mari did not rally
and passed away at an early hour this
morning. His age was 81 years, z
months and IL days.
In the death Of Mr.. Mari Portland
loses one Of her best citizens. He was a
man of striotest integrity Of the finest
principle, man who thoroughly lived
up to his beliefs. He was at one time
mentioned as a candidate by the Republi-
met with no favor from him. He would,
doubtless, if he had accepted tho nomina-
uion been elected, and made one of the
best mayors Portland ever had. He did
accept an election as councilman from
Ward 6, and during his term of office he
sturdy devotion to what he believed was
right.
Mr.. Mari was born in Li1nington, May
10th, 1880. There he spent his early boy
hood and attended the village schools.
Later he taught school in Portland, Bid
deford and other places for time. Then
he came to Portland and became clerk
in the large wholesale -four house OF
Blake, Jones and Gage, remaining there
some ten years. He then formed tho flour
house of Mari &c True. which was later
changed to arr, True g. Co. Mr..
Lyman ID. sens being the company.
In 1879 thu firm dissolved and that OF
Mari & Littletield formed, and continued
until three years ago when Mr.. Littlefield
retired and Mr.. Mari continued alone.

members and deacon in the State street

AT WILLlsToN CHURCH.
The Originator of the Christian Endeaver
in Ills Old Pulpit.

1t was quite fitting that one SO identi-
fed in the past with ''Williston Church"
as Rev. T. e. Clark, D. D., has been,
should have offioiated yesterday at this
sanctuary on the first service of the new
year.
DIR. Clark took advantage sof the occa-
sion to convey to his old parishioners and
auditors motto for 1898, and thought
that one most appropriate could be found
in the 23d Psalm, 81 will fear no evil for
thou art with me-" Thse words were
made the theme-of sermon in which at
the outset the speaker referred to the
unique title of q new book fear thought
versus fore-thought,'' which to his mind
was very suggestive, and led him to
dwell upon fear as the evil genius of all
mankind and ever present nor less IN the
business man than in the babe itself.
Worry is form of fear and what is zeal
ousy which the Bible says is cruel as
the grave" but fear that something will
get away from US. To get away from
himself is the inspiring cause of most
cases of dissipation. Men too often drink
because they are down and fear to think
of the past.
DR.. Clark expressed the opinion that the
Anglo Saxon was most addicted to strong
drinks and this he attributed to a serious
cast of mind which brooded over sorrows
and anxieties. In our attempt to get
away from ourselves. we get into state
of great perspiration and that Of such
nature as to be distinguished for the
sweat from ordinary work-so says an
eminent scientific man. II all this is
SO, is there not some escape from this
dread disease? The answer will be found
in the motto for the year, II will fear
no evil for thou art with me-
In the evening DR.. Clark preached on
the subject OF ''The religious outlook for
1885, and took his text from Psalms
Sc, Z. ''He ruleth by his power forever;
his eyes behold the nations" The preach
er referred to the progress Of Anglo-Saxon
ideas In other lands as one of the signs
of the times, and that it seemed that
China is about to DO parcelled out among
Europeans powers and that the Anglo
Saxon element will very likely be su-
preme,
The nations ars dividing the world be-
tween them for selfish purposes, but God
is in it, and makes use of mans greed
and love of power for his glory. The
facJ too, that the world is coming so
largely under the domination of those
who speak one language puts a new re-
sponsibility upon Christians.
| Turning to our own country, DIR. Clark
considered the most significant thing was
the swing of the pendulum in many
quarters from gross materialism to a
more spiritual view Of things. He re-
ferred to the way in which in European
cities at the midnight hour of the old
year, all turned out upon the street to
| wish every one ga Happy New Year, -
and said the lest way to bring "a happy
new year, was to live for mankind, for
| God and for eternity

CAPT. j. w. SLATER INSANE.
He Was Chief omoer of the Monaghan.

He was ChleE Ontcer OF the Monaghan.
just before the steamship Monaghan
sailed Saturday night the patrol wagon
rolled down to the Grand Trunk docks
and two officers helped therefrom Chief
Officer John w. Slater Of the Mongolian,
who was violently insane. On the way
to Portland on her last trip, Capt Slater,
as he is called by courtesy, was taken
violently insane when the ship was six
days from Portland. On the arrival of
the ship here the unfortunate man was
sent to the Preble house and several doc.
tors called to examine him. He grew
rapidly worse and it became necessary for
the Allan line officials to request the
police department TO safely care for the
officer until it was decided what should
be done with him.
At the house of correction where Capt.
Slater was confined, his condition did
not improve, and Saturday night it was
determined to send him back to Eng
land by his own ship, the Monaghan.
The insane man made considerable
trouble for the officers of the Monaghan
before the ship sailed, but was at last
confined in his state room and will re-
main there until the Monaghan reaches
Liverpool Capt. Slater has always been
most efficient officer and has many
friends in this city who will greatly
erieye over his unfortunate condition.

for the rite of circumcision, which was
performed yesterday by Rabbi Radofsik.
Prior to the performance of the rite the
son of Rabbi Donker, who has just
graduated at the Hebrew seminary in
New York, made an excellent address in
which he stated that it is not la part of

converts. On the contrary thesopposite is
the case. II. however, person earnestly

MRS. S STEVENS EXPLAINS.
why the Signatures on the Protest Were
Typewriter.

1t seems that the protest sent to the
Governor of the state by the state organ
cation of the W. T. u, against the
re-appointment of Judge Enoch Foster of
the Supreme bench, was typewriter and
the names of all the county union presi-
dents and other signers were all in type
writing.
Stevens, the state president, to inquire
how this happened and why the sigma.
lures of the signers were not in their own
handwriting. Mrs. Stevens replied that
it had been necessary TO send cut twenty
documents similar to the protest sent the
Governor in order to secure the signatures
Of the general officers and that in
order to avoid tn sending of ell twenty
of these documents TO the Governor
one copy had been prepared bearing the
names Of all the officers in type
writing. Mrs. Stevens offered to send
to the Governor, if he should SO desire,
the original documents which were
signed by the general officers or have
another protest circulated throughout the
state and signed by the general officers
and afterwards sent the Governor. Mrs
Stevens at this time sent the Governor
the original copies of the church records
of the Bethel Congregational church,
which were also typewriter in the orig
inal protest.
The Portland w. G. 7. u. has adopted
resolutions protesting against Judge Eos
ter's re-appointment and other local
unions throughout the state, so it is
understood, are soon to pursue the same
course The protests of the local unions
are similar to those already forwarded
the Governor by the officers OF the state
union.
1t is also stated that protests will be
circulated throughout the state by the
| w. G. I. U. to be signed by those who
desire who are not members of that Or
ganization.

which the members assembled to hear
Mrs. Josiah Burnham's paper entitled
"Snap shots in Switzerland called forth

lating in delightful fashion something of
the history and romance connected with

After the reading of the paper, which
held the attention Of the audience for
more than an hour, the ladies of the
Travellers club served tea and dainty
crackers, and the four tables were pre-
sided over by Mrs. Frederick W. Robin

after the business routine--the treas

some discussion it was voted to have a
"Social Evening"" to which gentlemen

of five with power to carry out the affair.
