The Commissioners Badge

MR.. EDIToR.-Some citizens at least were
taken aback by the item in your Saturdays is
sue concerning testimonial to Shipping Com
m fssioner Knapp, at this port Having :been
aecus toned to hear bitter complaints, and more
bitter recently than ever, from sailors, of i'll
treatment experienced from said commission
er's method of conducting his office, my SYM
pathies have been awakened. Having known
our sailor boarding HOUSES repeatedly to be
filled with what appeared to me to be good, eff.
fcient seamen, anxious for a voyage, while
vessels were clearing from this port with crews
shipped in Boston and brought here, to the ex-
clusion of these men, questions have suggested
the mselves-questions my sailor friends seem
to have no difficulty in answering. have been
led to examine the method of shipping sailors
from Boston, pursued by the commissioner, and
must confess to an emotion of grief and shame
l have heard many times of masters of vessels,
who have been told that there could be no suit
able crew, or officers. or steward, perhaps, pro-
cured in Portland for them, when seemingly.
there were plenty of good men suffering for a
cha nee to ship. The commissioner would pro-
cure them in Boston. l could wish that this
testimonial might clear these matters up, and
set these questions at rest.
There is no law on our statute books more
dependent for its benign results upon the per-
sonal character of the men who appointed to
execute its provisions, than the late shipping
act The interests Of the sailors are largely
committed to the trust of the commissioner.
Sailors are class of men very much separated
from home and society. Imp1ovident and
friendless, they are eminently the yards of the
nation, to be controlled and protected by its
paternal care. The United States Commits
sioner, under the shipping act, is the function
airy of government dispensing that paternal

integrity; capable of clear discrimination and
unbiased judgment; of quick and honest SEN
slbilities; and of unblemished reputation. His
position is judicial-to listen impartially to
complaints, and adjust difficulties, where cupid
ity and falsehood are at their most cunning
display. He needs to look with just discern
ment through various accounts, from the bal
ance sheet of wages, to the schedule of slop-
chest transactions F. SoUTHwoRTH,

ARREST OF THIEF.-Monday night the
blacksmith shop of G. G. Robinson on Green
street was entered and four new sleighs stolen.
Suspicion fell on one Amos w. Tewle of West
Gorham, and last night Deputy Bridges, ac-
companied by Mr.. Robinson, went to that viii
lage and called at the house of Edward Doug
lass where Towle was supposed to be concealed.
The INN ates, however,, stoutly asserted that
Towle had gone to Portland, though in fact he
was at that very time concealed in the barn,
and SO the officer started towards the city.
Meeting man who had come along the road
he inquired if he had seen any one on the road,
and receiving negative answer suspected he
had been deceived and again returned to the
house, but was again met with stout denial
that Towle was about the premises. While the
Deputy was watching about the house, howev-
er, he overheard one of the female inmates say
that Towle and Douglass were to meet in this
city late at night and remove the stolen sleighs.
He immediately came in, and taking with him
officers Black and Warren, found Douglass and
later at the Cumberland House caught Towle
The latter will be arraigned for burglary and
Douglass for concealing stolen property.

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL AT THE Re-
FORM SCHooL.-Last evening about hundred
invited guests were present to witness the an
nual exhibition" as it might properly be
called, given by the scholars. At about o.
clock the carriages began to roll up to the door.
and within hall an hour the parlors were well
filled. The guests were mostly from this city
and suburbs, although several were present
who came many miles to witness the proceed
ings. The guests were first invited below to
the boys dining room, where the whole num-
Der of 1873 boys were having their Christmas
supper. The supply of good things was abun-
dant, and as there is not at present a single
boy on the sick list, their appetites appeared
excellent. At the conclusion of their supper
most bountiful and hearty collation. was serv-
ed to the guests, who were next invited up to
the chapel. when the exercises proper of the
evening took place. These exercises consi ited
of singing by the boys, Scripture reading and
recitation, declarations, dialogues, and the
distribution of presents from the four Christ
mas trees The singing was conducted by the
Assistant Principal, Mr.. Fitch, who has al.
ready succeeded in training the boys very nice
1y in this direction. The declamations and
dialogues were received with much well de-
served applause.
The "Chrstmns Exercise" arranged by Mr..
Gould, the chairman of the Board of Trustees,
! consisting of the recitation of passages of
Scripture, showing the genealogy and offices
of Christ, illustrated by printed slips arranged
on an evergreen bower surrounding cross,
gave much satisfaction. The dialogue called
waiting half an hour for Refreshments" by
seven of the officers of the school was most
laughable. Much qualification was felt and
freely expressed by friends of the school at the
quiet and respectful demeanor of the pupils.
Certainly more orderly set of boys is uncom-
mon in a ipenal and reformatory institution.
The officers all deserve much credit for the ap-
pearance and conduct of the scholars.

The ADELPHIA. good house greet
ed the Adelphia last evening. There are a
number of good things to be seen in this enter
tainment. Among others will be noticed Mile
La Ferure, the queen of the flying rings. She
is the best thing of the kind to be seen. This
evening she appears in the dazzling trapeze act
which was referred to the other day. The Col
Inns brothers are hrst-class song and dance men,
and they are called out time and again each
evening. A full change of programme will be
given this evening.
Owing to previous engagement of the hall
for next week, Mr.. Larrabee will close his win
ter season on Saturday night. This will be re-
GREETED by many who have recently become &C.
quanted with.these entertainments. Mr.. Lar.
rabee will return here in March, and open with
a first class company. During his stay here he
has made many friends, and they will be glad
to welcome him back. All who have demands
against the management are requested to send
them in this week.

Thy MUsEUM.-"The Marble Heart is one
of the most attractive plays on the boards. The
double meaning all through it, the dream and
its parody, the drama, the pleasing situations
and the liveliness of the dialogue deservedly
render it a favorite. 1t was brought out at the
Museum last night very fairly. In the frs
act "the dream" the potent faults in Mr..
Wadron's acting did not strike the spectator
disagreeably. The scene has about it sug-
gestion of the old-fashioned drama and conse-
quently of the old school of acting; and then,
too, nothing is unnatural in dreams. 1t is
much to be doubted. though, if any one ever
dreamed of mustachiod Greek faces. Certainly
"Diogenes" like that of Mr.. Norris was never
conjured up even by the lively fancy of soph-
omore in his most disturbed and horror-haun.ed
slumber.
The drama was prettily played, though the
actors seemed to miss many a point in the
sharp repartee and badnage which is the
charm of so many of the scenes. Mr.. Waldron
made better impression as raphael than
he conveyed in his Maurice" Throughout
the second act he was quiet and natural; but in
the stronger scenes he exhibited that over-ac t.
ing and unsuccessful straining for powerful
effect which too often indicates real weakness,
as twitchings and commissions indicate lack
and not plenitude of nerve power. Mr.. Nor
ris was much happier as that modern cynic, the
Independent editor, than as the old Greek.
Mr.. Gale was fair "Veaudore." Mr.. Curtis
by no meals approached the conception of the
Partisan flop, but he contrived 10 create chac-
acter that was very amusing. Miss Waldron
was pleasing 'Mademeiselle Marco" Miss
Ulmer was tender and touching as "Marie,'
and Miss Rantord good as ''Clementine.
The play with its living statuary, its songs,
its scenery, its piquant dialogue and its effect
i've situations, will be likely to hit the popular
taste. 1t will be repeated this evening and at
the matinee Saturday.

INSPECTION OF THE INSANE HOSPITAL.

INSPECTION OF THE INSANE HospIrAL.-The
Journal says that Hon. Fred. e. Richards of
Camden, Hon. Charles Buffum of Orono, and
Mrs. G. W. Quinby of Augusta, the visiting
committee to the Insane Hospital, have made
to the Governor and Council report of the
results of their visits the past year. They say
that the affairs of the institution are well man.
aged, but complain that the hospital is crowded
so that many patients are confined to rooms
which are unhealthy. They think that an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to put the chapel in
proper condition and renovate the old portion
of the building, would obviate the necessity of
another. hospital. During the early part of the
year, the visiting committee called the atten-
ton OF the trustees to several inmates who
seemed clothed in their right mind, and conse-
quenty unjustly confined. These cases were
Immediately investigated, and the persons dis
charged. So long as the state continues to pay
one dollar and fifty cents per week toward the
support of town paupers at the Insane Hospi-
tai, so long is premium offered to unscrup-
lous municipal officers to hasten the end lat
reduced rate) of the expense attending the
support of unfortunate individuals, who, by
the dementing process of age or from some
other cause, are rendered troublesome at home.
They remark that the general success of the
Institution depends upon the ability of the
trustees, superintendent and treasurer, and it
is apparent to the most casual observer, that
the general condition of the hspital has been
greatly improved during the past two years.
They suggest that the domitories where patients
wholly destitute of reason are kept should
| have the same temperature maintained day
and night and that more nurses be employed.
