There is a possibility the little ones
may have taken the boat for Boston
where they have an aunt. They have
never been known to run away and
naturally there is g:eat anxiety about
them.

UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.
Party From Portland Head Buried In
the Drifts.

A party from Portland Head. con-
sisting Of one of the lieutenant
and his daughter, surgeon. and
soldier as driver, had an experience
in the storm Monday night which they
will not SOON forget.
1t seems that the party had come over
to town early In the day on the electrics
and on finding that IL would be impos
slble for tho cars 20 get through again
that night. the lieutenant teiephoned to
the commanding officer mt the Head. The
span of handsome grays and tho wagon
belonging ut the Head started out n con
vey the party back. They left town at 3
p. m. and got along all right until they
struck up over Meeting House hill Here
they fell in with a 10 foot drift which
buried the. horses clear to their noses, and
had tn give up the light. ThIs was aboHt
d 30 O'Clock. They shouted Justify for
help. and after time the people living
near heard and responded. Ihs wayfarers
were accommodated for the night at the
house of MIR. Small, while John Philbrick
succeeded In digging the horses out and
they were cared for In Capt. Poor's stable.
Tuesday morning a squad of 60 soldiers
started out from Portland Head armed,
not with rides, but snow shovels They
broke out the road aud finally came on to
the team buried in the big drifts. Tho
squad then faced about and marched back
to the Head, leaving ten men to pull the
sleigh to the Notifications. They pulled
the MOLE out of the sleigh before they

2No PARISH MISSIONARY SOCIETY
An Interesting Address by Mrs. Fred
w. Foster ut Yesterday's session.

The monthly meeting of the Union
Missionary society of the Second Parish
church was held yesterday afternoon in
the church vestry at which a very In
teresting address was delivered by Mrs,
Fred W. Foster, who cor seven years has
done work among the freedmen In the
very black belt OF the South. at Mcintosh.
Ga, and for three years was engaged in
like service in Lexington, KY.
IN u very pleasing manner Mrs. Foster
described the starting of the school on
Mcintosh, Ga, In population where the
blacks predominated outnumbering the
whites at the ratio of three to two. AT
first there was only one teacher, n white
woman, who laborod for two years. after
which the work was dropped for chi ee
years and then resumed with three ladies
on the ground and "a eolored teacher. In
1855 white principal was secured and
during all this time tho school was Il
simple day school ungraded
In 1891 IA principal, two matrons and
three teachers instituted a graded school
and opened boarding department. the

school, and 1t is now the fourth, in point
of Numbers, conducted under the diree.
ton of the A. NJ. A, and has star OF
thirteen teachers.
The school mas an Industrial depart
ment for boys, and sewing school for
girls in which all lines of sewing ars
| taught.
Airs. Foster referred to the unhealtbful
climate conditions of the country sur
rounding the school, and said there was
so much malaria prevalent that white
people could not stay there, and she was
happy to remark nat the workers in the
school had received the greatest courtesy
from the native whites and never had been
made martyrs. The school is n regular
z radad normal school and one of its priu-
ei pal objects is the lifting of teachers an1
three classes have already been graduate D..
She made an appeal for financial hs p,
as an aid fEuu was necessary Tor Z
students also there WAS a lack OF clothing.
anu dwelt upon the fact that the cou
tinuauce of the school would depend on
the future as Ia the past upon tue con
tributions from schools, churcnes ana

good audiencs, composed in great measure
of ladies' Miss ROBBERS Camille appeals

seeming pertidy; in that in which Ar
mand' 5 father. pleads with her for his son
and she displays the terrible struggle be-
tween love and duty, and last of all in the
final death scene, Miss Rober drew the
hearty applause of her audience. Her cos
tunes were most elegant and excited
much comment.
MIR Richie as Armand, showed much
power. He was most insistent lover in
the tender situation and rose 70 quite a
height in the serious ones. The other
characters gave adequate support.
