MrMauroe,s Reading.

The entertainment last night at City Hall, in
aid of the Belfast sufferers, was a surprise to
the audience The reading and presentations
were of the frst-class and justify very high
reputation for Mr. Monroe He is natural
elocutonist and actor, and shows marks of
considerable cultivation of his powers. The
audience was unfortunately very small-a result
due partly to the bad weather and Partly to the
fact that our citizens had not sufficient means
of knowing what was to be presented. The pro-
gramme consisted of ten pieces, which became
eleven by an encore"The Glove and the Lions. :"
The best readings were of "The Irishman and
theFrog, 'and "Betsey and l are Out, the lat ter
of which was specially fine.
The exercises were enlivened by some songs
by Miss Alice earle, who rendered 81 heard the
Wee Bird Singing" "The Last Adieu," 'sFish-
g, in the Sea-" and ''Under the Daisies" Miss
earle appears in excellent condition after her
summer rest. Her voice shows marked improve
Yuept in power, breadth and fullness She was
received with great favor by the audience, who
recognized the progress which this gifted young
artistic is constantly making.
The affair was very successful for Miss earle,
Mr.. Monroe, anI the few people who were pres
ent to enjoy the treat; but the Belfast sufferers
will hardly realize much substantial benefit.
However the motive was good, the attempt
laudable. and we cant have everything to
please us"

from the effects of too much amateur circus
performing. He spent most of the hours Of

formed their regular functions, and though he
lived for ten days, death was Inevitable.

The AuupxafIOu Fever.

To the Editor of the Press:
/ notice in the papers of Saturday two
schemes of annexation started at one time, per-
haps in concert-one of which propose to alb
sorb the old and historic town of Cape Eliza
beth and the other the young and vigorous town
of Deering 1t is further rumored that certain
parties who are anxious to be in the next legis-
lature will attempt to make the question an is
sue in the selection of candidates for represen-
tatives in the caucuses of both parties For one,
it strikes me that these important questions
have not been sufficiently considered by the
people of the three municipalities concerned to
make it an issue'in the selection of candidates
forthe Legislature. The question can be con
sdered between this time and the meeting of
the Legislature and if on full investigation it is
found to meet the approval of ALL no one repre-
senting Portland, Cape Elizabeth or Deering
would oppose the union.
There are other questions of more Importance
which demand the selection of independent and
intelligent men, The railroad question will as
sumo form that may affect the interests of
Portland and the State at large; the savings
hanks with deposits amounting to about twenty
millions are FESTIVE under the tax imposed two
Years AGO and it is quite probable that the man
aoers will attempt to free them of taxation; and
an attempt will be made to increase the mill tax
for schools. Thee are all more important
questions than the annexation schemes proposed
and upon which the public has not had time to
fully consider, and it is no time for those who
may desire to make them hobby to get into
the Legislature, poss bly, for other purposes, to
bring them forward. Let us have no ciap-trap,
no cheap demogogism about this matter
