Having had many years practi-
cal experience in curing and
packing Beef, we became con-
WINGED that it was possible to pre-
pare it in such a form that it
should be more economical and
convenient than it had been, and
as a result placed upon the mar
ket our Cooked Meats, which have
given entire satisfaction, not
withstanding the very severe tests
and unwarranted attempts that
have been made to injure their
reputation. A choice quality Of
meat is cooked, only solid meat is
paid for, with no loss by cooking,
and one pound is equivalent to
more than two pounds Of I'M
cooked meat.
The great convenience Of hav.
ing in the house delicious cold
meats ready to put on the table
at a moments notice will recon-
mend them to every household,
while the economy in their use is
not the least of their merits.

AID FOR SAVANNAH SUFFERERS Elsewhere
will be found call for meeting of the Board
Of Trade to take measures to extend relief to
the afflicted city of Savannah. We may be
sure that the people have no realization of the
extent of the calamity which has befallen that
city and other towns in the vicinity. Indeed,
it is impossible for people in this locality to
realize the condition of city visited with
deadly pestilence. Doubtless the Board of
Trade will take measures to raise money, and
there can be no doubt but that Portland people
will cheerfully respond.

Much credit is due Mr.. Rudolphsen for
bringing out Mendelssohn's graceful operetta
''Son and Stranger, for the first time in this
country. Written for the celebration of the
silver wedding of the composers parents it has
the unmistakable, homelike character of the
German Heder. The simple, pretty arg ument
admits of lively and varied music, and fortu.
nate dramatic situations. The overture is
brief and interesting. The opening ro-
nance for contralto is striking and at once
suggests Mendelssohn's individual manner.
The soprano air "How oft the young have wan
dered'' is sweet and tuneful. The fine and
vivacious "Pm Roamer'' was familiar to the
audience, and never fails to elicit warm ap-
plause The air for tenor "When the evening
bells are Ginning" is pleasing; and the tersett
which closes the scene is admirably spirited.
The duo for tenor and baritone "'Tis now the
hour" is original and interesting and the scene
rises to foe climax by means of the song for
baritone and vigorous duo. The flower song
for soprano is bright and delicate and the con-
Guiding quartette finely managed The sing
ers were even more satisfactory than in the
performance of the evening before. Mis- Star
birds voice was sympathetic, sweet and pow
erful and she sang with skill and taste. Miss
Holmes was successful in her opening air,
which she gave with dramatic feeling, and in
the concerted music of her part. Mr. flowers
large tenore robusto was especially effective in the
duets with the baritone, while his solos were
given 10 manly, vigorous STYLE Mr. Rudolph
sen was admirable, almost without exception,
in singing and action; his fine aplonsb and ex.
celent volublity were well displayed in "Pm
Roamer;" and the telling quality of his voice
was marked throughout the performance. Mr..
Studley merits praise for bis skilful accompan-
iments, which-as might be expected in work
of Mendelssohu's-Wereb by no means easy or
unimportant. BOX and Cox was delicious,
irresponsible and mirth- provoking as before.
A letter from Mr.. Arthur Sullivan addressed to
Mr.. Tower, it is interesting to note in this con-
nection, says that the ''Hush-a by Bacon was
first written for the opera in which it is sang,
and that the serious and pathetic words in
which it has been better known, were an after
thought. This curious sbit of musical history
defes somewhat the dramatic unite" but is
worth knowing. Tomorrow afternoon offers
to ladies and children a matinee performance
of the sleeping Queen; and full house
should greet Miss Starbird in the evening, when
she appears as Airline in the favorite and IA
miliar bohemian Girl"

A CASE OF DOMESTIC INFELIcITY IN BAN
COR The Bangor papers contain an account
OF case of domestic infelicity in that city, the
denouement of which caused considerable ex-
element on Thursday 1t appears that the do
nestle happiness of young couple named
Turner, residents of Boston, became embitter-
ed through various causes, which may appear
more fully hereafter. to such an extent that
Mrs. Turner finally separated from her hus-
baud, going there about three months ago
with her brother and two young children,
girl and boy, aged and 3 years, respectively,
being recommended to the consideration of GER
tain parties there by one of her friends in Bos-
ton, who has since visited her there. She en-
gagged a house in quiet neighborhood on
French street, where she has since resided,
making some Jealous friends in the neighbor-
hood, who suppo.t her cause with fidelity Mr..
turner, after his wife's desertion, remained at
home until about three weeks since, when he,
too came here for the purpose, as he declares,
OF taking one or both of the children into his
own charge. He engaged board at house in
the vicinity and awaited his opportunity His
arrival, however, had been noted, and the

however, Mr.. Turner took advantage of tenn
porary absence on the part of the wife, and,
entering the house, he bore off the boy, which
he coveted most, from its female guardians,
who made, however, a valiant resistance, and
sent for reinforcement in the person of the
mother and tue city marshal. On their arriv-
al all repaired to Mr.. Turner's residence and
demanded the return of the child. Mr.. Tur-
ner backed up by number of his friends. re-
fused at first, but finally yielded to display of
authority on the part of the marshal, apd the
