OBITUARY.
CHARLES s. D. GRIFFIN.

In the dexth of Mr.. Charles 8. D.
Griffin, which occurred on the 12th inst.
at his late residence, 2O2 High. street,
Portland5has lost another citizen whose
face and figure has been familiar on it's
streets for fifty years or more, altho lgh
for the past two or three years owing to
his failing health, he has been closely
confined to his home.
Mr.. Griffin was born in Portland on
Congress street. near the Longfellow
house, May 29th, 1908, and WAS thus near
ly ninety years of age. His father, Benja-
board an English. .vesssl while at sea. At
the age Of fifteen Mr.. Griffin went to
Boston and served for some years in the
office of the North American Review. and
on the failure Of that company transferred
his services to the Boston Recorder.
Later, he returned to Portland and was
connected with Mr.. Shirley, who con-
Quoted printing establishment here. At
about this time there was strong de-
mand in the schools of the South for
Northern teachers, and Mr.. Griffin ac-
ceptedI dIa,position.asia teacher In Savan-
nah, remaining in the South In that
capacity fora number of years. In 1910,
while teaching in Mississippi he had the
misfortune to lose one Of his legs. The
amputation Cat his hip) was before the
days Of anesthetics, and medical skill in
Mississippi at that time was not Of the
highest order. However. few days after
the operation Mr.. Griffin insisted upon
having bed provided in the school room
where he remained and continued his
school. He finally returned again to Port
land and entered the employ Of the Port
land Gas Light company in September,
1855, remaining with that company until
1891. His kindly face and genial manner
will be recalled by all who had occasion
to do business at that. office.
1t may be truly said that few men
possessed as many. virtues as did Mr..
Griffin. He was frugal in his habits,
modest in his living and gave with q
liberal hand to!charity, no deserving man
or woman ever applied to him for assist
ance and was denied. With him it was
not question of how small sum he
could give each applicant, but simply
what were his or her necessities, and he
would respond accordingly. He once said
that ont Of his own earnings he was only
entitled to what would make his family
comfortable, the balance belonged to those
who needed it more. he was for long
time connected with Plymouth church,
but for the last fourteen or fifteen years
he had been member OF the State street
Congregations where he was held in
high esteem.
Mr.. Griffin married Jane Crabtree who
died in 1890. and by whom he had five
children, ofiswhich two daughters, Ellen
g. and Julia W. survive him.

THE NEW ARTILLERY REGIMENTS.
Orders have been issued for the organi-
zation of the two new artillerylregiments
authorized by recent act OF Congress, and
Fort McHenry will be. selected as the
headquarters of the Seventh Regiment of
artillery instead of Foltss ssWadsworth, n.
T., as was originally proposed. The
selection. .of;Fort Slocumi as the. head
quarters of the Sixth Regiment will not
be altered.
In organizing the new regiments, six
men will be taken from each of the bat
teries now in service, SO that each of the
new batteries will have some experienced
artillerymen.
The new Notifications are to be manned
at once and it is quite likely that bat
terry from one of the new regiments will
be stationed at Portland Head. At the
latter place, inasmuch as there are no
quarters, the troops ordered there will be
obliged to go into camp and live just as
they would in case of active military
operations against an enemy.

The following story comes from the
Grand Rapids Press and has to do with
Q man and q woman who are employed
In different offices in one of the large
buildings Of that city. Each office has a
telephone. but as it happens one is an
instrument belonging to the Citizens
company, the other n Bell instrument.
One day the man had occasion to use
the Citizens line and stepped across the
hall to the lady's Office.
"Have you q Citizens phone?" he
asked, and she replied in the affirmative.
"Well." he ventured: Pm a citizen
May I use it?"
Why, Of course he might use it, but
inwardly she was inclined to envy his
ability to stand up and assert his citi-
senship in this way, for some Of her
womanly propensities were of the new
ish" sort. An hour later she balanced
accounts with him.
"Have you q Bell telephone?" she
asked m stepping into his office. He did
not try to deny it.
"Well. I'm a belle. May use it"

FEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA,
The Evil Eject Of Water Is Not a Mere
Superstition There,

n Evil Effect Of Water Is Not a Mer,
superstition There.
The average Cuban is %dreadfulIv
afraid OF rainwater. He believes that
drenchtng in a rlinstorm, followed bv
exposure to the rays of the sun, pro.
duces fever-not necessarily yellow fe-
yer, but an attack something similar to
what is known as swamp fever in Mis-.
sissippi or chagres in the isthmus of
Panama.
The same belief prevails in Central
and South America, but in a greater
degree. On both coast lines of Nicaragua
. light shower is the signal for a gen.
eral scampering indoors and a disin.
%clination to come out again until the
sky is perfectly clear. Up on the high
plateau on which the city of Caracas in
Venezuela is situated and where there
should be little or no fear of fever the
natives are afraid to get even their
faces wet. At the first appearance of a
~rainstorm the cab drivers, of whom
there are more than 400, put up oilcloth
screens in front of them and direct the
course Of the horses through a couple of
peepholes, avoiding even a slight splash
In the face.
All strangers from northern ATTITUDES
Visiting Caracas are advised that not
only Is rain dangerous, but that it is
not safe to take a bath within ten
days after their arrival. Men accustom-
ed to q daily plunge find this advice
difficult to follow, especially in such a
warm climate. Most of them disregard
1t and find that it does them no harm,
and that It is a superstition based upon
the laziness that follows a residence in
an atmosphere so erafvating that the
dogs are, too tired tc get ont of the way
Of the horse if tn, horse wasn't too
tired to step OH than.
The Cuban fear of rain, however, is
based upon experience and isnot a mere
superstition.-New York Press.

The highest income received during
any one year by the state land board
of which Governor Osborne was pres.-
dent. was about $12,97O. But the in.
come of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
