On the destruction of POrtland's city
hall, the suggestion was made that the
new building, wherever it might be,
should be built for the use of the city
government only, without containing any
large public hall. The suggestion seems
to meet with little favor. In towns
where town meetings are held, some
kind of a hall is necessary. In cities the
same necessity does not exist, and the
maintenance of city hall very rarely
used for strictly city purposes) is general.
ly losing proposition from financial
standpoint. At the same time, the de-
mauds for such place are so many and
of such character that no municipality
is really complete without some as
sembly ball of good capacity which is
practically public property. This is
especially true in Portland, which is so
much of convention city, and it will be
surprising if that city, with its high de-
gree of civic pride, rebuilds without
making city hall as good as the former
one.

From figures secured at the Office of
the state insurance commissioner ii is
learned that the damage to property in
Maine by fire last year was s3,07S, 42O, a
greater amount than for any year during
the past ten years, and one of the great
est in the history of the state. The esti-
mated value of property burned was
s14. 407, 746. There wore 2,0S9 fires, OF
which number 237 were total loss, and
1852 a partial loss. The greatest num-
Der of fires from any one cause was $50,
there being $50 fires of Unknown origin.
Two hundred and eighty-one were caus-
ed by lightning, 237 by defective fues
and chimneys, and Ill BY burning out of
chimneys.

The most of the family, and also the
neighborhood, are sick of the grippe or
something else, which gives but little
time to write.
The ice has been hard on travellers,
days ago three men called here, inquir-
ing the way to Bryant's Pond; stating
that they came by way of Locke's Mills.
When asked why they didn't read the
guideboard half mile back, they said it
was so covered with ice that not a letter
could be seen. Being correctly informed,
they took their back tracks and probably
got there.
About the same time lady on Patch
Mountain started for the Center with a
horse team, loaded with cans of milk.
While on the way the carriage slued,
then turned partially over, throwing out
al the contents, including the driver.
This frightened the horse, causing him
to run until he came to a stable with
open doors, which he entered and thus
ended the race. Fortunately but little
injury was done, although the lady, and
possibly also the milk, were somewhat
shaken up.

Hearst's papers seized upon the OPP
portuuity afforded by the Portland city
hall fire, and published lurid tale
which was more than ninetynine one
hundredths false. AS some of the re-
suits of it, Portland has had several
peculiar visitors. One was an agent for
church bells, who understood that most
of the churches of the city had been
destroyed Another was furniture
seller, who thought that about all the
business houses ia the city had been
burned, and he would have chance to
sell 500 roll-top desks. OF course the
fault is with the people that Hearst's
papers are sold and read. 1t is some
times hard to decide the problem. Is it
because of the fact that Barnum enun-
ciated when he said the public liked to
be humbugged, or shall we paraphrase
and apply Carlyie's statement when he
said that the population of Great Britain
was thirty million, mostly fools?

Newspaper publishers have numerous
opportunities afforded them to Invest
small amounts of money and newspaper
space in all sorts of things, including
charities. They also have frequent OPP
portunities to extend courtesies to their
brethren of the press, and as rule are
not slow to do it. One of the most strik
ing opportunities to accomplish both
purposes is afforded by brother editor
in distant state. To show his gratitude
for recovery from desperate illness, he
proposes to place chime of bells in his
home church, but as he has not the
money himself, be must raise it by sub
scription. To this end he invites his
brother publishers to aid him by print
ing notices of his enterprise, as well as
by their personal subscriptions, and he
is engaged in canvassing the country.
The Democrat is in receipt of an invita-
ton to participate in the joyous deed,
but is inclined to think that the brother
editor thousand miles away will have
to sound bis hymns of glory on chime
purchased by contributions nearer home,
or lose his opportunity of demonstrating
bis thankfulneSs by spending other peo-
ple' money

Much depends upon the point of view.
Gen. Miles passed through Portland the

noted that Gen Miles was in the city
the preceding day, and that while there
he discussed the army canteen, strongly
urging it's establishment.
