brought out at Grand Army Hall next week is
original 1t was composed BY w. W. Hawkes..
The music is selected by VIM. NJ. Richardson.
The proceeds go to aid the Portland High
School library.
The plot of this operetta, BOUNDED on mistak-
en- identify opens at Blossom Inn, where the
farmers are celebrating the harvest time. Glare
offers toast to Irene 1st We're next enters
singing about Irene End, when Glare thinking
he means Irene 1st), calls upon him to take
back his words and, on his refusing, challen-
ges so forcibly as to knock him down. We're,
feeling insulted at being knocked down, as well
| as challenged by commoner, calls an officer
| to arrest Clare.
In act second Irene LIST is singing, wien
| Dave enters and tells her of Care's misfortune.
Irene goes to the prison, and Dave to his moth
er. We're is deploring his fate and tells his
troubles to Irene End, who extracts reluctant
promise from him to forgive Glare. The land
lady feels angry that Irene LIST should be troub-
led, and consequently pitches into everybody
within reach, not even excepting We're.
Act third opens near the prison, with song
from Sally Dave enters and carries on a firta-
ton. They flee at the approach of the lord OF
the manor, who gives directions to the warden
of the prison to bring out Glare if Irene list
calls for him. She comes and stays until the
prison is closed. In scene second the lord tells
his lady that he has pardoned Glare, at Vere's
request. Enter Glare, We're and both Irenes.

so general and popular an interest as the con-

She has the rare merit of pleasing alike con-
nosseurs and those without musical culture
There is warmth, heartiness and magnetic
force in her singing which strikes a responsive
chord in the breast of every one capable OF
musical sensation. Miss Cary is said to be IN
excellent health and voice and will be at her
best tonight, Mr.. Will Stockbrdge will also
be heard with interest as it is his first appear
ance in public since his last visit to Europe
and an opportunity will be given our citizens
to observe his improvement under Italian
training Mr.. Beckett is always attractive
and will tonight sing his farewell songs to
his Portland friends before going abroad to
pursue his studies in the profession which he
already adorns. The fine instrumental music
of the Beethoven Quintette Club and the adj
mirable Accomplishments of Mr.. Kotzschmar
combine with the vocal music to make this one
of the best arranged and most complete con-
certs ever given in Portland. Large numbers
of people will come from out of town, and the
caLacity of our spacious hall will be fully

A New principle applied to standing presses
for printers, bookbinders, clothers, and in fact
to all business requiring great power to COM
press. 1t is even more effective and gives bet
ter results than the hydraulic, and is very much
more economical. This principle is commonly
denominated the toggejont; two Of which are
SO arranged as to be operated by a right and
left screw, turned by lever and rachel, by
which one man can give as much pressure as
six CT eight men could do on an ordinary screw
press. Messrs. Bushnell, Wellington & Co. of
Worcester, Mass, are building all kinds of
presses with this principle. Messrs B. Thurs
ton & Co. Book Printers, have one in use which
gives wonderful results and they think this kind
of press will supersede all other styles as soon
as its qua! ites are known.

wrote yesterday: "The ice remains firm in the
Saco as far up as Conway Corner. The ice is
broken up above that point, and $500. 900 feet
of logs have moved from Bartlett and are min
gled with the ice at Conway. Had the rain of
Saturday and Sunday been a warm one, it
seems as though all of the bridges (many valu-
able ones) must have been swept away. AS it
is, the ice is fast melting and unless we get i'm.
mediate warm weather or rain, no damage will
be1likely to occur"
