THE FBESS. A BASEBALL TROPHYGenerous Offer by a Portland Admirer of the Game. Mr. S. H.

Sleeper of the Stevens Silver oompany in order to insure the playing of a Maine State series in the future, has decided on behalf of the Stevens Silver oompany to give a beautiful silver cup, to be contested for by the Maine clubs of the New England League, for the championship of Maine, in consideration of the fact that the Portland club have fulfilled all the requirements of the agreement entered into by the Maine clubs at the Augusta meeting, at which meeting vll-tho Maine clubs were represented and agreed.to take part in said series, and having started the series at Augusta and having.at all times, as they do at present stand ready to play all Maine olubs for the state championship, and having won the only game played in the series Mr. Siepeer thinks the Portland club are entitled to some recognition for the pluck they have displayed at all times during the series. He therefore decided to present the Portland club with the handsome cup mentioned, and trusts as do all lovers of the-game in Portlaud, that the local club will succeed in retaining the cup in Portland next season also. The cup will be suitably engraved and placed on exhibition in a few days, and will be presented to the Portland baseball association on Saturday afternoon, September 14th, at the Deering grounds, previous to the benefit game between Portland and the Murphy Balsams. Mr Sleeper Is willing that the rules of the Augusta conference shall govern the oup series, and the club that wins It three years in succession shall be entitled to retain It permanently.

The oup is a beautifulpieoe of work and stands fifteen lnohestiigh. BRIEF JOTTINGS.

Last evening a large and most respectable audience gathered in City Hall to listen to a most eloquent and able lecture by James Dnnn, of Massachusetts, on Temperance as Demonstrated by the Keeley Institute at Doering, Mr. Dunn began by saying that he should come as near as possible to talking common sense.

The clergymen tell us that If we obtain the Grace of God we oau battle with any vice. But the man afflicted by intemperance is in a diseased condition as to his body. That disease must be cured before the afflicted person can be brought into a normal condition, where he may be made susceptible to good and elevating influences. The Keeley cure is a certain and efficacious remedy. Every man who takes the cure properly, finds the love of alcohol removed.

If he ever drinks again ii is because he has wilfully kindled the fires. Dr. Talmadge says that the Keeley cure has the approval of God Almighty. Men who belong to the church have fallen; but that is noth ing against the church. It is nothing against the Keeley oure that some who have taken it have relapsed.

Certain portions of the lecture, descriptive of the fall of prominent physicians and great minds of their times, visibly affected the audience. Other very impressive portions of the address held the audience spell bound. Passing to the more praotical but no les3 interesting phase of his subject, the lecturer described the workings of the perfect Keeley Institute. There are many cures in the oountry, but the real Keeley Institute at Deering, uses the methods of the renowned Ur. Keeley an has the successes which have made his name immortal.

The orator himself was a splendid example of the power of'the dootrine wbloh he preached. It was as a mental and physical wreetr entered the doors of the Keeley Institute, to oome out restored and infused with a new life. The music, a delightful feature of the entertainment, was furnished by Chandler. Hon. Geo.

THE STRIKE OVERAnd the Rollers at the Mills Return to Work. The rollers at the Portland Rolling Mills, who struck for higher pay the other day, all returned to work yesterday morning, having come to an amicable arrangement with the company. This is a matter certainly for congratulation, for strikes are something foreign to this city. In tho case of the men who were arrested for disturbance at the mills the oase was not pushed as it was shown that they were young men who had not been guilty of violations of the law in the past, and would doubtless fail to do any thing in the future that would tend to discredit them.
