Deputy Joseph c. Sterling has seen
more years of service as a criminal
officer than most any man to be found
in Portland. He was on the city po.
lice force during the Civil War and
for some years aftcrward. later served
as a bailif in the United States Court,
and was deputy under many Of Port
lands city marshals.,
When Sheriff Pearson took the oath

| Deputy Arthur B. Leach has just

criminal officer. He is the scholar OF
the liquor force. and likewise this
, clerical officer. He has taught school
and shortly before coming to Portland
was instructor in manual training In
the Saco schools. From choice he has
participated in a majority of the SELF
ures made in the last year. though his
duties at the desk occupy great dea
of time.
The fifth member of the squad is the
"parsOn-deputy," the Rev. Henry 7.
Skillings. He came directly from the
pulpit to the rum room, and with the
zeal of an ardent PrOhibitionist has
learned his lesson in the enforcement
OF the law. He Is the most radical
kind of a teototaller. hates whiskey as
he does poison. and doesn't countc
nance drinking the softest kind OF beer
or even bottled soda.
At the beginning of his career as
deputy sheriff he made frequent al
tempts to couple moral and religious
suasion with his official duties. but
finding that much Of his endeavor In
that line was fruitless he now seems
quite content to bring to punishment
those who defy the law.

The electric current, according to the
Electrical Review, has recently been
put to a novel use-that of warming
beds. The apparatus for this purpose
consists OF coil Of wire covered with
asbestos. The electric current passes
through this wire and heats up the as
bestos. This method of heating would
seem to be great advance over that
of using hot water bottles.

Ever since Sher,n PearsOn's last
Sunday evening illustrated address on
"PrOhibitiOn in Portland" the plat
form of his Gospel Mission Hall has
been Uttered with bottles, jugs, kegs,
sprinklers and law-cvading devices
captured by his deputies. Hundreds
Of persons have called at the mission
and asked the privilege OF close in
spection OF the exhibit.
The visitors have been especially
interested in the hollow cane which
was nearly full of whiskey when dis
carded by a street peddler to whom
the deputies gave chase last Saturday
night. The cane occupies a conspic.
uous place in the foreground Of the
| Mission Hall exhibit, its tip having
been inserted in the nose of whls-
key jug to enable the cane to stand
alone. The head of this cane is a
stopper. The tube in the body Of ,ne
stick holds 10 drinks.
Two body cans" are also much
discussed by visitors. These cans, of
crescent shape, were made to fit the
body of their carriers, so as not to
show beneath an Oyercoat. Each can
! has a string attached, which Is sup
posed to be worn over the neck.
Copper tanks which the sheriff's
deputies have dug from the solid walls
of buildings are also included in the
exhibit. Small lead pipes connected
them with secret faucets, One of
these, taken from a Center street ten
ement over saloon, is said to have
cost $500 to construct and secrete.
A cluster of nickel faucets cut from
the CHARTERED oak bar Of a Fore street

relics. The sheriff takes delight in
showing this exhibit and pointing out
the secret spring underneath, by
means of which the central faucet used
! to be made to run small bear, stock
ale or straight whlskey at the will OF
the operator. The whkkey and beer
tanks that supplied this faucet were
located in the third story of an ad,

NEGROES ARE UP
AwAGAINST 1T NOW
viii Have to Fight the

Richmond, Va, Nov. 12.-The negro
voters of Virginia under the lead OF
James II. Hayes, the well-known color
ed lawyer OF this city, are determened
to fight the suffrage clause Of the new
Constitution, though they are getting
but very little aid or comfort from the
white Republicans OF the State. The
, notice of suit for $4,000 fled in the
United States Court here yesterday
afternoon by Edgar Poe Lee against
the Board of Registrars OF Jackson
Ward for the alleged improper refusal
of the board TO register Lee, is but one
of several similar ones 20 be entered I'm

John S. Wise the first instalment OF

Thurston of Nebraska will appear with
Hayes, though the negro lawyer says
he will be alone in the lower courts.
1t is alleged that Lee, the plaintiff, in
the first suit was a soldier In the Indian
troubles on the frontier in the '70's and
that he has his papers OF honorable
discharge II is said TO have been held
by the board that this was not war in
the sense that the term Is used i'm the
new Constitution.
But the negroes are practically alone
in their struggle. The white Repub-
licans, as a rule, are ready To dump the
"man on black" overheard and say
farewell 10 him as politician. Many
of them 30 not hesitate % say so. They
point 10 the election, OF the result in
the Ninth District on Tuesday, and say
that Slemps victory over Rhea was the
first awakening of the independent
thought of the white people, and that
even the eastern section OF the State
will become more doubtful II the negro
is kept out OF the suffrage. IL is con
iidently predicted that the new suffrage
clause will never be overturned in the
courts, and that the negroes never
having been able 10 accomplish any
great things in any line by themselves,
will not at this late day be able 20 con
troll so great thing as the destinies
and happiness Of the white people OF
this State.
