of the principal members of the COM
pany. The piece was Miss Lima Tet-
tenborn's sensational drama, "Tina, the
Milk Vender," which has been rendered
with some success in English. This
time it was given in its original Ger
man. In the principal scene large
dog is introduced, hauling the milk
wagon of Hartina, the heroine of the
play. This dog understands English
thoroughly, but having had only the
advantage of single rehearsal in Ger
man he became somewhat mixed 10 his
business-not understanding the Ian
guage, and of course mistaking his cue.
When the comedian comes on and says:
"Hartina, are you hereW it it the dogs
cue to stand still until Hartina and her
lover embrace and then sing duet.
Then he follows Hartina around the
stage with the nlilk-cart, and so on.
On this occasion, when the words
''Hartina, bist du heir 2" were uttered,
the dog maize Il jump for the comedian,
who took fright and ran off the stage.
The dog followed, barking furiously,
and scattering the milk-pails all over
the stage. Hartina screamed and took
refuge among the opposite wings. The
dog presently reappeared, and, spying
the prompter seated in his half moon
i'll front of the foot-lights, he made a
plunge for him. The prompter dropped
his book and dived through the trap
door. The dog, now thoroughly
aroused, went after him, followed by
the milk wagon and what was left of
the cans. Amid the yells of the audi
ence an effort was made to rescue the
unhappy and atfIighted prompter.
Selling the tail board of the cart, some
of the people on the stage gave a strong
pull, and pull altogether, when up
came the wagon and then the dog and
finally the prompter, the latter in
helpless condition, with the fangs of
the inturiated animal firmly fastened
to that part of his garment which was
the last TO disappear from sight. A
muzzle was procured, and the dog was
led from the stage yelping at The
prOmpter and looking daggers in the
direction of the comedian. Order was
eventually restored and the piece pro-
ceeded.

THE SCARED WILD CAT OF GOLD HILL
AND THE WILD DOG OF MILWAUKEE.

| THE SCARED WILD CAT OF GOLD HILL
AND THE WILD DOG OF MILWAUKEE.
(From the Gold Hill New News)
There was fight advertised to come
off at the Alhambra theatre Sunday
afternoon, between an Eastern fighting
bulldog named Turk and a 42-pound
wild cat, a vicious brute, for 800 a
side-that is, the cat and dog were to
fight for their lives and men bet 500 ii
side on the result. The fight was to be
followed by grand olio on the stage
1t was an immense bill and it drew. In
due time the cat was introduced upon
the stage and was Immediately followed
by Turk; but at the first kiss of the
dog the cat took to the audience, and
the olio, instead of being performed by
the troop, was done by the spectators,
tooth and toe nail accompaniment.
The first bound of the cat took it upon
the piano of the orchestra. The pawer
of the ivory left the swelling strain un-
finished, and turned back handspring
over among the audience. The next
leap of the "varmintn was at the con-
trabass, and both player and instru-
ment went down instanter with broken
heads. The cat fingered lovingly a
moment among the strings as if to test
their quality, and then sprung out
among the audience. Then began an
oliO i'll dead earnest, but not the one ad-
vertised, although the fight was over. IT
consisted of ground and lofty tumbling,
leap-frog, and such-like feats of deX-
terity, all having single obiect-to
amuse the audience by a glimpse of
sunlight out of doors and under the free
light OF heaven once more. 1t was per-
fectly satisfactory as a whole, and each
player did his best. Time-shortest on
recOrd-1.69. Everything went off
well, especially the audience. The cat
was found few moments later looking
out OF one of the boxes and waiting for
an encore.

In and About the Maine Capital.

| To the Editor of the CdIed0Rian
Augusta seems at the present time To
be noted for two things viz: as the
capital of Maine and as the residence of
Senator Blaine. Outside of the state it
seems generally believed that Mr..
Blaine is the only candidate that any
Maine Republican would support for
the Presidency. There is, however,
much more opposition to his course
than his supporters would have the
public believe and some of the most
severe criticisms that have been passed
upon his acts, have been from Republi-
can newspapers in Maine. Here in this
city, however, he is immensely popular,
even among his political opponents.
He owns fine house, and grounds, and
dispenses his hospitality like prince,
and has, perhaps, the most captivating
manners of any Presidential candidate.
1t is really worth while to see the re-
ception the people here give him when
he comes home.
just now the Legislature is sitting,
and is busily doing nothing; the small
minority of Democrats resting from
their feat of having swallowed the large
body of Greenbackers,-a contradiction
of the axiom that the less cannot include
the greater. They propose doing some
thing, however, bye and bye. The
State House is very handsome build
ing, but looks rather antiquated, and
the aspect of the building is marred by
the fact that it has no well-proportion-
ed cupola, only kind of sentry box
perched on top. There is a fine view
from the roof, up and down the valley
of the Kennebec. 1t stands on the edge
of the city and is approached by flights
of granite steps, but as it fronts, not
the city itself, but an unoccupied
field, it is difficult to get fair view of
it; and seen from the town, reminds
one of short-necked man looking over
his shoulder. 1t has a large library,

the building, and is hard to find. The
Representatives Hall is quite ven
cradle place, with rows of red desks
like those in a district school house.
The ROtunda, or main hall, in which
the battle flags are kept, and where
some valuable portraits hang, is a
cheerful room with fountain PLAYING
in the centre.
The Government owns an arsenal
here, and the amount of military stores
kept for service is very great valued
at times at nearly a million. The
grounds comprise forty acres, and the
buildings, built in 1907, number fifteen,
and are of stone. Indeed there are
more stone buildings here than in any
other place of the size in New England.
The buildings of the insane asylum are
nearly all of stone; the Jail, court
house, and Congregational church, are

Where is Jamie P

Father, where is our Jamie tonight
Jamie, so bold and so gay7
The twilight shadows are falling now,
Why does he stay away2
Jamie is handsome, and manly too,
And he will be good and great;
But, father, why is our darling boy
A staying away so late2"
''Our noble boy is child no more,
He has grown to mans estate;
He has gone a counting Minnie Gray,
The reason he stays so late.
For her golden hair and eyes of blue
Have stolen his heart away;
And he goes in the holy twilight hour
A wooing sweet Minnie Gray"
"Why does the maiden lure him away,
Now we are growing old9
And we have shielded him all his life
Our love has never grown cold.
The maiden can never love as we
Have loved him all his years,
Who have led him along the path of life,
Sharing his smiles and tears"
But, Millie, remember long years ago,
When 1 was handsome and gay,
And you a maiden so fair and sweet
That you stole my heart away.
1 had a father old and gray,
And a mother kind and true,
Who loved me fondly all my life
But my heart went out with you"
A blush crept over her faded cheek,
Her eye shOne clear and mild;
No longer she chided the lovely maid
For winning away her child.
She thought of the long ago, when she
Stood close to her lovers side,
In the little church, and the man OF God
Made her happy bride.

OF the same solid material, besides sew
eral fine business blocks. The Jail is
much more imposing building than
the State House, as it stands in the
center of the city and is rather orna-
mental. 1t cost about 100000 before
the war, and is rather the finest public
building here.
Augusta occupies a rough site, and
the business street is compactly built
along narrow strip of level between
the bluff and the river. On the east
side of the Kennebec there is still stand
ing long, two story building, under
great trees, and four large chimneys
rise out of the roof. This is Old Fort
Western, built in 1854. 1t is bnilt of
squared timber, the walls are foot
thick; the timber was hewn some
thirty miles down the river, and tOwed
up in RATS. 1t was in the times of the
Old French War. There was no settle
ment then, only trading post. The
ancient building is now peaceful ten
ement house. 1t is worth visiting.
This is Indian land. All the rivers
and brooks bear Indian names; and all
along the Kennebec have been fearful
fights. Almost opposite Waterville,
there is strange looking building, at
the end of the railroad bridge over the
Sebasticook, Oh point where that river
! Joins the Kennebec. 1t is called ''the
last of the block houses" and is all
that remains Of Old Fort Halifax, built
in 1853. 1t is two stories high, built OF
squared timber, the lower story is
twenty feet square, and the upper pro-
iects over it three feet all around. This
is only one of several buildings that
made up the fort, and is much dilapi-
dated. This fort and the one at Augusta
are the only ones left of several that
were built and garrisoned before the
Old French War to keep back the
Penobscot Indians, and to intercept
their communication with Canada.
have made particular mention of these
because there are so few relics of the
old Indian wars left to MS; and readers
of the CdIedOnidR coming this way may
like to hunt them up.
Maine people hope the Legislature
will reduce the state expenses, and

taxation. But it is not state taxes that
make the great load that the public has
to bear, in Maine or anywhere else. 1t
is town and city Indebtedness that
make up the burden. | was in ii town
the other day. of two thousand inhabi-
tants,-a valuation of half Million
and town debt of over one hundred
thousand dollars. And the taxes in
that town are fifty dollars on each
thousand of valuation. Such town
cannot prosper, and the young men GO
some where else.
just now many families are going tu
new homes in Aroostook County, in the
northeast section of the state. 1t is
the finest farming region in the Eastern
states, and the state is offering induce
mentS to settlers. The land is level,
the soil deep, and il the state will pre-
vent 10y law the unnecessary cutting of
the forests, it will soon become the best
and most productive tract east of the
Hudson. f. p. w.

Don't Stop My Paper.

Don't stop my paper, printer,
Don't strike my name off, yet;
You know the times are stringent,
And dollars hard to get;
But tug a little harder
Is what l mean to do,
And serape the dimes together,
Enough for me and you.
1 can't afford to dropit;
l find it does MT pay
To do without paper,
However others may.
1 hate to ask my neighbors
To give me theirs on loan;
They don't just say, but mean it,
Why don't you have your ownl
You don't know how We miss it;
If it, by any fate,
Should happen not to reach us,
Or come little late;
Then all is in hubbub,
And things 90 all awry,
And, printer, if you're married
You know the reason why.
cannot do without it,
1t is no use to try.
For other people take it,
And, printer, so must 1.
l, too, must keep me posted,
And know what's going on,
Or feel, and be accounted
A fogy simpleton.
Then, take it kindly, printer,
If pay be somewhat slow,
For cash is not so plenty,
And wants not few, you know.
But l must have my paper,
Cost what il may TO me,
I'd rather dock my sugar,
And do without my tea.
So, printer. don't you stop it,
Unless you want my frown,
For here's years subscription,
And credit it right down,
And send the paper promptly
And regularly on.
And let it bring us weekly
It's welcomed benisOn.
