OBITUARY..
EVA NJ. PRATT.

Died, in Bridport, Mar %, Eva NJ.
Pratt, wife of Carlton j. Barbour, aged
about 20 years. In the passing away of
Mrs. Carlton j. Barbour, there has left
us one of earth's best daughters, sisters,
and companions. She came from the
west (1llinois) to visit relatives aud
found her health so much improved that
after her mothers death she returned to
us. But the la grippe only fixed the
more dreaded consumption upon her,
and for the last few months it has been
painfully evident to us all that she had
not long to stay. She had been married
but little over year to one of our best
young men, and life had a pleasant,
happy outlook, for she lived to be loved
by all. But the outlook into the life be-
yond grew more and more attractive, as
she came near its borders, and the theme
of Christ as her "Good Shepherd" filled
her soul with great Joy, and she felt, as
she expressed, that she was but going
home. Too soon for grieving hearts she
dropped away; but with countenance
radiant for the brighter world. The
large attendance at her funeral hour but
attested both the universal respect and
sympathy for all concerned. And to all
who so tenderly ministered during the
hours of her closing days, the warmest
thanks of her husband are hereby
rendered. B.

"PORTLAND" WRECK FOUND.
Trawl Fishermen Bring to Light Proof of
Location of Hull.

F1Snermen ISr1hg 10 IlSnt vi
Location of Hull.
A Boston despatch of March 20 says :
With the hauling to the surface of the
waters of Massachusetts bay, entangled
in the travis, of a quantity of steamer
furnishings by the crew of the schooner
Maud S., the location of the hull of the
ill.fated steamer Portland, after four
months of conjecture, has been deter
mined. The wreckage consists of two
electric light brackets, mattress, some
minor cabin furnishings, heaving line,
and portion of woman's wearing ap-
parel.
The point of the bay is given by Cap
tain Thomas as 221 miles east One-half
north from Boston light, II miles south
southeast of Cape Ann and "a miles
north three-quarters west from High
land light, the depth of the water being
between 80 and 60 fathoms.
Only few weeks ago another fisher
man, at very nearly the same place,
brought up some wash bowl fittings, but
these could not be positively identified.
he articles Just found, when brought
ashore yesterday, were positively iden-
titled by Agent Williams of the Portland
line as being part of the furnishings in
one of the cabins of the steamer.
| OF the 200 human beings, more or less,
who went down with the steamer in the
terrific gale of Nov. 26-7, the remains of
less than 30 were recovered along the
shores of Cape Cod, over 30 miles away.
1t is possible, therefore, ia view of the
very plausible theory that greater por-
tion of the hull is still intact, that many
of the bodies are in the wreck, and with
careful graphing may be recovered. 1t
will be impossible, however. owing to
the great depth of the water, to use
divers in exploring the hull, and crap.
Piles will have to be the sole means of
bringing to light any additional portions
of the vessel.
The disaster of the Portland was one
of the most appalling that ever overlook
steamer on the New England coast, in
asmuch as not soul lived to tell the
tale of the few terrible hours befor the
ship finally went to her doom. Plying
as she did between this port and Port
land, her passengers were, for the most
part, from the Pine Tree state, SO that
the loss was almost general calamity.

March l5 the American and British
war vessels in the harbor of Apia began
the bombardment of the capital and coast
villages, and that landing parties were
sent ashore to oppose Mataafa and his
followers. A number of Americans and
Englshmen were killed. Mataafa is at
the head of the provisional government,
which is recognized by the German con-
sui and opposed by the Americans and
English. Admiral Kautz of the Ameri-

this government and is acting on his own
judgment. The Germans are taking no
part in the troubles beyond giving their
moral support to Mataafa.
