Orgnnist Paine Saw the Great Singer
who Highly Praised the Portland
Chorus.

Mr.. Edgar II. Paine, the organist a
the New Jerusalem church, returned Fri
day from delightful trip abroad. He
sailed from New York July 9TH and made
an extensive tour being accompanied on
the most of it by two friends, Mr.. William
M. Dunton OF Boston, and Mr.. Frank A.
Bloemeke of Newark, N. j. Two weeks
ago Sunday they had pleasant expert
ence meeting Mr.. R'frangcon Daveis, the
famous singer who has participated in
the Maine Music Festivals and who is to
be in the festivals this year. Mr.. Paine
and his friends had wheeled from Lon
don to Birmingham and were going on
the train from the latter city to Chester
when they met Mr.. Daveis. The latter
saw the three gentlemen and made him
self known saying that he supposed that
they were Americans. Mr.. Paine said
that he was from Portland and this at
once interested the great singer who
said that he had only the most pleasant
remem brances of this city. He paid 1t a
fine compliment ana spoke very highly OF
the Portland chorlis. Il have never seen
a chorus that sang the orator,O Of Elijah
any better than the Portland chorus,
said Mr. Daveis to Mr.. Paine. "The
work OF that chorus was a perfect revela-
ton to me and inspired me to my BEST
Mr. Daveis invited the three Americans
to dinner at the Westminster hotel at
Chester and in the evening took them to
the old Cathedral. When Mr.. Paine and
his companions departed they gave Mr..
Dayeis a hearty send-otf.
Mr.. Paine and his friends sailed from
Liverpool September 8 on the steamer
Bohemian OF the Leyden line and arrived
at Boston late Wednesday. The return
trip was very rough, being in marked
contrast to the trip over from New York.
ON sailing from New York the weather
was so hot on two nights that the passen-
gers could only find rest by sleeping out
on the decks.

THE CITY HEALTH.
Commission Suggested to Inves-
tigate Monthly Records.
suggestion of Prominent Physician
Who Has Considered the Subject.

Several months ago statistics were pub
nshed showing that the mortality of
Portland was large compared with that of
some other cities There was consider
able discussion at the time, but no salts
factory explanation was given to show
why city so fortunately located should
have this record. The subject has not
been allowed to drop by bers of the
medical profession; and one Of the most
eminent physicians of the city has ex-
pressed the opinion to the PRESS that
an effort should be made to ascertain,
first II in view of all the conditions, Port
land has really so high a per centage OF
mortality; and, secondly, what are the
causes of 1t. Much labor and patient In
veStigation would be required to arrive
at the true causes; and the records of
deaths for series of years would have to
be carefully analyzed and compared. 1t
Is suggested that the city government
would do well to put this matter in the
hands OF a commission of experts. IL
there is any ons portion of the city that
is more unhealthful than the others be-
cause OF any conditions that may prevail,
1t would be very wise thing to ascer-
tain 1T. Then intelligent effort could
be directed towards an improvement.

gan to fail as soon as the teams entered
