"a Celebrated Case.v

ga Celebrated Case is one of the most
powerful of recent plays now on the boards.
1t is well constructed, full of strong situations
and furnishes abundant opportunities for
powerful acting. There are some impro-
liabilities in the plot to which the critic might
take exception but they are unnoticed by the
spectator. It's first presentation here made a
lasting impression, and the second which was
given at Music Hall last evening will serve to
intensity that impression. On the whole the
rendition last night though good was not quite
SO satisfactory as the former one, but to say
that it fell not far short is very high praise.
Mr.. Golfers Jean Remand has changed little
either for the better or worse since his last ap.
pearance here. 1t has the same merits and the
same defects which it then possessed. 1t is
strong in pathos and in the imprisoned pas.
sages impresses one powerfully. Mr.. Collier,
however, is inclined to rant little occasionally
and his power is reclaimed by some tricks of
voice. Ee fingers too long on his words some
times, yet, notwithstanding these faults his
Jean Rsnaud is very fine and well sustained
impers onation and we'll worth seeing. The
character of Adrienne was taken by Miss

calls for imprisoned acting and imposes task
which none bat an accomplished actress can
adequately perform Miss Bakers impersona-
ton was a very good one, not fres from defects
of course, but generally very satisfactory.
Miss Markley's Valentine was artificial. She
has not the strength necessary to simulate pas
sion SO they shall appear like the genuine
article Miss Skarratt az the Duchess d'Aube-
terre was easy and graceful. The Dennis
ORourke of Mr.. O'Brien was we'll done.
ORourke is introduced to relieve the prevail
ing gloom of the play and his Irish wit and
humor accomplish the purpose admirably. Mr..
Varrey was fair Duke d Aubeterre, and Mr..
j. W. Collier good looking and pleasing Wis.,
count Raoul de Langey. Mr., Til.on's Count
de Norway was lacking somewhat in strength.
The play will be repeated this afternoon and
evening and lovers of good plays and good
acting should not miss these opportunities to
see both.

New Music From the titles of songs sent
US by Ditson g. Co. it is easy to believe that the
flower season still endures. There is the very
pretty "Maiden's Flower Song" by Piusuti,
and maiden May" by Gatty, both charming
songs. Then there is comic quartette, "Caw |!
Caw!" as sung by the Grow family, which
transports one to the farmers field. For the
piano, we are favored with the "Domino

For five years drew my weary breath, writ

year to year, till at last the physicians absolute
lyforbade my continuance in professional labor.
During these years had tried nearly every
method OF cure. Allopathy, Homeopathy,
Hyd ropathy, were applied to in vain. Horse
back riding, light and heavy gymnastics, were
faithfully used to no purpose. Long hours OF
sleep. with perfect rest and easy recreation,
profited me as little. Travel, under favorable
circumstances, was my last resource. and from
protracted tour, 1 returned home worse than
ever. began to feel that there was no hope
Of recovery, but having business in Chicago, my
attention while there was called to THE
HEALTH-LIFT, to which had immediate re-
course with almost immediate relief. In three
weeks was better, in three months was
happy. My appreciation of the Lift cannot Dc
too confidently stated. 1t seems to me there Is
nothing better under the sun for all the ills tnat

girl, IS years of age, left her home in Norway
and came to this city, taking lodgings at the

determined to push out into the world on her
own account with the above result.

A False Alarm.

Yesterday noon Sergeant Boyd of the Signal
Service received notification that the heavy
storm that had been prevailing in the Middle
States and lower lake region would be un-
usually severe on the New England coast
during the day and night Sergeant Boyd
took special pains to spread the news, that all
should be prepared for the storm. Awnings
were taken in, the shipping Struggled up in the
inner harbor, and every preparation was made
for a frstclass tornado. The steamers of the
several lines touching here took good care not
to leave their berths, thus failing to make con-
nections east and west. The Boston boat and
the Bangor steamer did not leave until several
hours after the time advertised, for fear of a
bad gale. A telegram received during the
evening said that perfect gale was raging in
Boston, and that the st. John boat, which
should have been here at 5 p. m. last night,
would not leave there until it cleared up. The
other boat of this line left Eastport on time
yesterday. and it is not known whether she
made harbor or not. The New York boat,
which is due here this morning, is supposed to
be on the way ard will probably arrive some
time to-day.
Thele was good stiff breeze blowing all
night and the water in the harbor was pretty
rough, but it was evident that the gale had
spent most of its force before reaching here.

A box containing human bones was found at
Broad Cove, near Eastport, near low water
mark on Sunday by some boys. The remains
or servant of one of the officers stationed at
Eastport while that town was in the possession
of the British. Old inhabitants relate the Cir
cumstances of his death and burial, which as
near as we can learn are as follows: The man
was servant of the chaplain and was in love
with some fair maid, who it seems did not fully
reciprocate his affections, and in fit Of
jealousy murdered the girl and was court mar
tailed and found guilty of the deed. While
awaiting his sentence in the old guard house
he committed suicide and orders were given to
have his remains buried at low water mark,
which was done, and now after over sixty
years have elapsed the action of the waves has
brought the remains to the surface and re vived
the sad tale.

Besides, IN towns, unlike in cities, the
site Of the building and its natural
surroundings are looked to and ample
grounds are required before the ar
chitecture is laid and the green
sward and ancient oak, knarled by
time, are studiously preserved for
future comfort and ornamentation.
The price of ground in cities, en-
hanced by the eagerness of the peo-
pie to be close to the businesseentres,
allows Of no yards for flowers or
lawns, save to the wealthy, but nature
is rooted out before the advance of
