The large congregation of representa-
tive people at the funeral OF Miss Mary
Emma Waite was fitting tribute to
her worth and indicative of the high
estimation in which she was held by nu-
merous friends.
OF an unassuming and retiring dispo-
sltion, Miss Waite accomplished more for
others than many whose lives are more
conspicuous. During her last illness she
received beautiful letters from those
whom she had influenced for good. Per.
haps a more unselhsh person never lived

Old State Street

X nth it's square mansion houses
" " standing behind the double ranks
OF those grand ems which rise on
each side of the lawn like esplanades and form
mighty arch over the broad driveway, has been
called one OF the finest residential streets ia
America. 1t is just one hundred years since
the street was laid out La the century Of its
life the houses which have been built upon it
have been the homes Of many OF Portand's
foremost citizens. Men whose achievements in
business and national affairs have made them
known the country over have lived beneath the
shade Of the giant trees of this beautiful street
To the lovers of the history of the good old
town, the story of State street is one Of rare in
terest and no writer could better tell the tale
than Mr. Nathan Goold who needs no intro
duCtlon as authority upon matters pertain
ing to Portland and its people, To the task of
writing the history of this attractive avenue
and some of the prominent men who have made
their homes upon it, Mr. Goold has brought
not only his wide and discriminating knowledge.
He has put into the task love for the work
which has added greatly to the interest of the
story which he tells. Mr. Goold has also taken
great pains to verify his facts and the result is
a series of articles Of exceptional merit and at
tractiveness. BY arrangement with Mr.. Goold,
these articles will beginning in its next ISSUE
appear in the columns of
THE PORTLAND SUNDAY TIMES.
1t sometimes happens that the demand for
the Times exceeds the supply so that Port
land people who desire to read these articles
themselves and to procure copies for former
Portanders who have gone from the old town
to settle elsewhere, should place their orders
now. The articles are six In number and will
appear one each week until the series is c. M
peted. They will form one of the most attrac-
tive of the many local features of Portlands
leading Sunday journal.
