READY FOR WORK
South Portland Citizens Ef
fect an Organization.
JUDGE CAPLES IS PRESIDENT
Members of Improvement Associa
tion Agree on Carnthcrs Street
an Northern Boundary of
Their Ward.
Permanent organization was effected
by the South Portland Improvement As
sociation last night at a meeting in Hob
kirk Hall. The following officers were
elected. President, Judge John F. Caples;
vice-president. Colonel J. M. Underwood;
secretary, W. H McGowan; treasurer,
William Fliedner; executive committee.
Dr. "V. H. Saylor, chairman; William M.
Gregory, J. E. Werlein. Frank Hacheney,
E. C. Bronaugh and J. W. Sherwood.
Many members of the association were
unable to attend the meeting, on account
of the Shrlners' banquet, but there was
a good-sized attendance, which included
a number of ladies, who been especially
Invited to be present.
Mrs. E. M. Shafford, who is -one of the
few members of the American League of
Civic Improvement residing In Portland,
spoke at some length concerning Im
provements that would tend to beajutify
the city. She told of the work carried
on in other cities, and her remarks con
cerning the needed improvements in
South Portland were greatly appreciated.
Mrs. Shafford responded to a number of
questions from different people in the
audience.
Mrs. B. H Trumbull spoke briefly upon
the needs of South Portland, and made a
plea to the taxpayers present to attend
the school meeting on Monday night to
vote for the support of the free kinder
gartens. A. A. Courtney then moved that a vote
of thanks be tendered the speakers, and
the motion was carried, amid loud ap
plause. The meeting then took up the regular
order of business, and Dr. W. H. Saylor,
who had been appointed chairman of a
special committee on schools, read his
report, . which showed the condition of
the Homestead school to be overcrowded
and decidedly unsanitary. The commit
tee rccdmmended that new class-rooms
and toilet-rooms be added and that the
cement walls in the basement be repaired.
It was also recommended that the name
of the school be changed to the South
Portland Public School. A general dis
cussion on the condition of the school
followed, and other Instances of its un
sanitary condition were shown. The re
port was referred to the committee, with
the understanding that it be presented at
the school meeting on Monday night.
Under the head of unfinished business
J. E. Werlein. chairman of the commit
tee appointed to wait on the Charter
Commission, then arose and presented a
verbal report of his experiences with that
body. Mr. Werlein discussed the ward
boundary question pro and con, explaining
the attitude of the Charter Commission
and its probable willingness to make
Caruthers street the division line, and
Include everything south of that street
in the Sixth Ward. A subcommittee made
its report, which was to the effect that
the Charter Commission intended to stand,
"pat" on'its apportionment of wards and'
Councllmcn, but that a compromise could
in all probability be made by placing the
division line at Caruthers street.
After a short parliamentary squabble,
In which some of the members caused the
hall to echo and re-echo with their bursts
of oratory, the meeting got down to busi
ness once more, and a motion was car
ried instructing the committee appointed
to meet the Charter Commission to com
promise on one ward in South, Portland,
with Caruthers street as the northern
boundary.
A committee, consisting of J. E. Court
ney, B. F. Jones, J. W. Sherwood, was ap
pointed to look up a new hall. Mrs B.
H. Trumbull then asked all ladles Inter
ested in the formation of a woman's aux
iliary to the South Portland Improvement
Association to meet at her residence, 821
Corbett street, on Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock.
It was moved and carried that W. B.
Chase, City Engineer, be asked to address
the association at the meeting of Feb
ruary l, on the subject of "Fills and Improvements,"

REV. DR. HINES DEAD.
Veteran Preacher Passed Aivay Thli
Morning:.
Rev. Dr. H. K. HInes died at his resi
dence at 2:45 o'clock this morning of grip,
rheumatism and complications.
H. K. HInes, D. D. the youngest, of 12
children of James and Betsy (Round)
HInes, was born In Herkimer County,
New York, in 182S. He was a brother of
GustavusHines.a well-known Oregon mis
sionary. His ancestral line, on his moth
er's side, clearly traced back to Edwardy
of New England, through Lawrence Wil
kinson, from whom Mr. Hlnes was the
fourth descent. His own grandfather
Bertram Round, was an Ensign and Lieu
tenant in the Revolutionary War. On his
father's side, he was a descendant of the
Hopklnses, of Rhode Island, and of the
Churches, of Massachusetts, who came
from England in Governor Winthrop's
fleet in 1630 and landed at Plymouth. It
will thus be seen that he Inherited pio
neer blood.
His early life was spent in Oswego
County. New York, to which his family
emigrated when he was three years of
age. Then almost literally a wilderness,
that region afforded him very limited
scholastic advantages. In his 14th year
he joined the church, and before he was
16 was licensed to exhort" by Rev. William
Peck, an elder brother of Bishop Peck.
Early in his 19th year he was licensed to
preach, and soon after, removing to West
ern New York, he was used as a supply
on the Eden circuit, In the Genesse Con
ference, on. trial. In that conference he
served such appointments as Wyoming,
Pearl Street, Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
In December, 1852, he was transferred
by Bishop Waugh to the Oregon Confer
ence, and the following Summer crossed
the plains with an ox team, reaching
Portland October 3, 1853, to which charge
he had been appointed by Bishop Ames
at the first session of the Oregon Annual
Conference.
As presiding elder, he had charge of
all the State of Washington, nearly all
of Oregon and Idaho, and his travels
over them made him more widely known
personally, without doubt, than any other
minister of the Pacific Northwest,
He represented the Thirteenth General
Conference District In the general mis
sionary and church-extension committees
of the Methodist Episcopal church from
1876 to 1SS0, and on the resignation of J.
H. Wilbur from the same committees in
1SS6 he was elected by the Board of Bish
ops to succeed him, thus making six
years' service therein.
Dr. Hlnes was also quite active in po
litical life. During the days of the se
cession he was one of the stanch sup
porters of the Union, and delivered the
first political speech coming from any
minister on the Coast. He was president
of the Territorial Council of Washing
ton, and a member of the Legislature
during the sessions of 1S64 and 1866. In
1876 he was a Republican delegate to the
National convention at Cincinnati, which
nominated R. B. Hayes for President. In
3878 he was Republican candidate for
Congress from this state.
Dr. Hlnes was married atiWyoming. N.
Y., in 1852 to Miss Elizabeth J. Graves.
She was an able helper in all missionary
work, and by her personal effort and en
thusiasm organized the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Oregon, of
which she was first president. She was
well and favorably known throughout trie
state for her many deeds of kindness and
charity. She died in January, 1889, leav
ing a bereaved husband and two children.
James A. and Lua A. The latter Is now
the wife of C. K. Cranston.
As a trustee he had a close connection
with the Willamette University since he
came to the state, and during 1890 and
1891 was professor of theology In that In
stitution. In May, 1892, he was a dele
gate from the Idaho conference to the
general conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church at Omaha. He wis a mem
ber of the Sons of the American Revolu
tion, and was past high priest of the
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons.
Dr. Hines was also professor of the
theological department of the Portland
University. His yeirs of faithful work
have been of great service and have been
marked by ability, industry, constancy
and efficiency. His capacity for hard
work In both study and field supplement
ed his ability in the pulpit, and the prom
ise of his early years was fulfilled. The
wide field covered by his labors and the
variety of the work to which he had been
called, enabled him to an xtent given to
but few to Impress himself far good on
the civil and ecclesiastical affairs of the
Empire of the Northwest.

curious to know why so many public
school graduates are wofully deficient In
spelling, in punctuation and In English
composition.
Whatever theories may be advanced tor
this state of things In the neighborhood
of New York, an Investigation of similar
conditions In Chicago tends to show that
the teachers there are bjr no means with
out responsibility, at least so far as con
cerns the pupils defective orthography.
Some time ago the Chicago Superinten

his teachers, and asked each to write
thereon her name, ge and birthplace, and
also to Indicate the extent of her educa
