For some time the owners of the property of
the defunct Portland Shovel Company. have
been negotiating with parties engaged in the
manufacture of hats in another state, with a
view to utilizing the buildings and grounds oc-
cupied by that company for very extensive
mandatory of woolen hats of all varieties.
We are informed that the negotiations have
successfully terminated, and that the parties
securing the property will begin at an early
day to transform the long vacant buildings into
hive Of industry. AS soon as the machinery
is in readiness for work, one hundred men will
be employed in the manufacture, and it is ex-
pected that the number will be doubled in a
very short time. We are Informed that the
company has ample capital and some of its
members have had extensive experience in the
business.
The announcement is the most important of
q business character that we have had the
pleasure of making for long time. Ex-
Mayor Wescott and Superintendent Gilman of
the Portland Water Works, have been most
active in securing for our city an en- terprise
which promises so much.

cover that 'Rosedale'' is presented at tie
Museum in file shape. and are rushing to see
it. Thursday the house was packed at both
matinee and evening performance. Settees
and chairs were brought in, and the alleys and
lobbies were crowded with people standing. In
the evening over three hundred persons were
turned away. Last evening there was an ex-
cellent house considering the storm. Miss
Waldron was suffering from severe cold, and
she was unable to appear. Her place was
taken by Miss Ulmer. who gave an excellent
rendition, considering the short time which she
had to commit her text and learn the business.
Doubtless the matinee this afternoon, and the
evening performance will draw large houses.

to say few words in its praise is too strong to
be resisted.

u Barrie of Philadelphia and of a verify those
gentlemen must have been forcibly impressed
by the truth of the old adage "Good wine
needs no bnsh' when they entered upon its
publication.
1t is an effort to supply the public at triding
cost with a series of the finest steel engravings
reproduced in exact detail from the priceless
works of art by the leading English painters
and sculptors,S whose originals are and
ever will be mOnopolized by the nobility aud aris-
tocracy of Great Britain. 1t was with extreme
difficulty that the publishers overcame the
ancestral prajudices of these titled gentry and
obtained permission to copy the works referred
to; but persuasion fiualy prevailed and the
productions of the immortal masters of Anglo.
Saxon Art are now offered in miniature to the
crit cism and admiration of our people,
Many previous art publications have done a
noble work in famliarizing the public with OBJ
jects of art whose refining Influence is now
generally recognized, but the best of such pub
locations are crude and undigested collections
for the simple reason that though their pub
fishers have conscientously done their very
best they have been unable to cope with the
disadvantage of inability to get at the pictures
Observation-Disclosures the cart Treasures of

The work is issued in parts, each number

Forty-seven of the great British painters, and
twenty-five sculptors are herein represented,

Mr.. Bugbee, who offers this work to our
people, will, we are very sure, meet a cordial
reception as the character Of the work he rep
resents entities him to. He does not seek to
urge subscribers, but simply upon purely artis-
tic grounds claims the opportunity of displaying
these pictures, and we are certain that the

will ensure him willing attention and prove
that he has not erred in selecting Names

The Bowen Libel Suit.

New YORK, Dec. 81.
Mr.. Bowen's suit for damages for de-
famation Of character against the Brook
Ign Eagle was opened to-day In the same
court room as the Beecher scandal was
tried. Messrs. Fullerton, Winfield and
Holt appeared for the plaintiff, and Beach,
Dewitt and johnson for the defence. Mr..
Winfield made the opening Of the case. The
counsel referred to the plaintiff as highly
respectable citizen of Brooklyn who was
identified with its growth and prosperity
but he had incurred the dspeasure of Kin
sella, managing editor of the Eagle, and
that corporation. He then reverted to the
Kidd salvage company and its fraudulent
transactions, and said that the defense had
accused Bowen Of being the originator of
this scheme when he had nothing to do
with it.
The first witness called was W. Hister,
publisher and business manager of the
Brooklyn Eagle company, and being hand
ed the paper containing the alleged libel
said that was one of its issues. Its circu-
lation was about $4,000 at the time this
issue was published and was principally in
Brooklyn. Its exchanges were about 1000
and were sent to about half the states in
the Union. The witness knew Mr.. Bowen
by sight and also as the publisher and pro-
prietor of the Independent and Brooklyn
Union. Mr. Fullerton then read the al.
legged lbellous article from a copy of the
EARLE
