Its Fifth Anniversary Observed at Will
liston Church Last Evening.

The fifth anniversary of the Young
Woman's Christian association was OBJ
served last evening at the Williston Con-
gregational church in the presence of q
large sized congregation. After the usual
devotional exercises during which some
beautiful music was rendered by the Will
liston choir, Miss Florence Whittlesey
| Thompson, general secretary of the associ-
alton, read the annual report in which
she detailed the work done in the four de-
Observation-Disclosures. educational, social,
and spiritual. The present mem barship Is
| 654 ,491 are active members and there ARE
rs associate members. Eighty-five sus-
tanning members contribute IS or more
each annually. During the past year
1876. "a have been expended and the pres
emit debt Is sil0.77, q reduction of $685.
% from that of last year.
Rev. Smith Baker, d. D., pastor Of the
Williston church delivered very interest
ing and powerful address, taking for his
text the 18th chapsr of st. John. 5th
verse, "Now Jesus loved Martha and her
| sister. -
He said that nothing was SO representa-
tive of the love of Christ as the affection
relations as mother, wife, etc., and he
con traste1 the condition of woman in
heathendom aud in Christendom. The
church honors woman for she has done
more to advance the kingdom of Christ
than man. DIR. Baker paid handsome
tribute to the mothers who produced
great men and said that In 80 cases out
of 100 mans greatness came from the
mother. He mentioned the ups and
downs incident to society In democracy
! and asserted that the destiny of the coun-
| try depends upon the women In the conf
mon walks of life. From the,poorer homes
are to come the future leaders and in 40
years from now the present young labor
| ing women will be more potent in shap-
ing the destinies of the city and country
than the present daughters of wealth.
He took the case of Garteld's life to
| illustrate the rise of children of poverty.
The working girl deserves respect be-
cause she takes care of herself and DIR.
Baker said that no where was man s
character SO clearly revealed than in his
treatment of q working girl He spoke in
| the severest manner OF the dude who, in
his holiness, scorned the working girl
! DIR. Baker in conclusion, dwelt upon
the claims of the Y. W. G. A. for aid and
support and following him MIR. j. X.
Libby spoke in behalf of the organiza-
ton and made an urgent appeal for all
present to go into their pockets and lift
the debt of $40 which was found to exist
at the end of last year.

WALTER BURNHAM'S LATEST.

Manager Burnhan has been around in
this league putting players on his claim
list after. they had been signed by other
managers, protesting umpires because
thay didn't give him the best of 1t, etc..
but of all the cheap rot that has emanated
from that source the following sprung by
the Brock ton Times reaches the climax.
.s"It will not do for the Portland man
agement to tr tie too far with Manager
Burnham. He has one up his sleeve that
might not be welcome down there. IL
is none other than that he IL at perfect
liberty to take Manager Smith away from
Portland simply by placing him on bis
claim list. Smith Is q player and under
the claim rule and agreement no club
will be allowed to, use a player whom 1t
has not legally claimed when that player
Is so claimed by another club. Smith has
never been claimed BY Portland"
Think OF that. "If Portland trifies too
far with Manager Burnhami' What Is
to be saii of a mind that would devise
such trick, which would be cheap and
despioable if 1t was not silly and cause
