State of Maine Club in Boston.

The State of Maine Club was organ
lied in April of last year and went into
possession of it's new clubhouse on the
corner of Somerset Street and Ashbur-
ton place in June. Its present quarters
were formerly occupied by the famous
Twentieth Century Club. The State of
Maine Club has refitted and refurnished
the house, and now has a most attract
room, where all the leading newspapers
of Maine are on file, is probably larger
and more pleasing than that of any other
club in Boston. The club also runs an
excellent cafe where it serves meals la
carte and table d. hote at very moderate
prices.
The purpose of the gentlemen who
organized the club was to make il an
institution representative of the state of
Maine. In order to attract large men,
bership from Maine, the dues for resi-
dents of that state have been made pure
ly nominal-five dollars initiation fee
and three dollars year. Ii is felt that
if the advantages and facilities offered
were more thoroughly known, every
business man in the state would hasten
to join. The central location of the
club house makes it very convenient
place for business appointments or as
place for out-of-town members to have
their mail forwarded. There are now
somewhat more than six hundred men,
bers, including Governor Cobb, Chief
Justice Wiswell, Judge whitehouse,
Judge Emery, Judge Spear, Judge Hale,

tlefield and many others.

Murchie Of Boston, formerly of Calais.
The vice-presidents are Mr.. Thomas NJ.
Babson of Boston, formerly of Wiscasset;
Colonel James G.. White of Newton
Centre, formerly of Gardiner; Hon.
William T. Cobb of Rockland, Hon. An
drew p. Wiswell of Ellsworth, and Hon.
Clarence Hale of Portland. The secre-
tary is Mr.. Luther. G. Greenleaf of Bos-
ton, formerly of Abbot. The treasurer
is DIR. Frederick A. Davis of Boston, for
merly of Ellsworth. The directors are
Mr.. Guy Murchie, Mr.. w. s. B. Stevens
of Boston, formerly of Pittston, Mr..

The freshet of a week ago and the
continued warm weather have been bad
for loggers in this vicinity, especially for
those who had to cross Bear River for
their work, as the ice went out during
the rain, and the river has not yet frozen
except for pedestrians.
There is scarcely enough snow to cover
the ground, but in the travelled roads the
ice is solid and smooth making quite
good sleighing. A foot or two of snow
is very much to be desired.
Colds are very prevalent and there Is
some one sick in nearly every house.

For the legislative body of Cuba to
appropriate So, 900 for wedding gift to
Miss Roosevelt is gracious and graceful
thing to do, with which no one will find
any fault. At the same time, it may be
remarked that the Latin origin of the
Cuban people is apparent in the impul-
siveness and the magnitude of the gift.
A cold blooded Anglo-Saxon nation prob
ably wouldn't have done it.
