New Sweden.

Much interest is manifested in the Decen-
NAL celebration of the foundting of New
Sweden, and it is certain that many of our
citizens will avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to visit our Swedish colony The Gov
ernor and Council will be present and take
part in the exercises of the. day.
The celebration will occur on Friday, the 23d
day of July next, and will include an historical
address and the dedication of the First Swed-
ish church of Maine.
Arrangements have been made with the
railroads by which tickets may be obtained
for the round trip to Caribou (the nearest rail-
road station to New Sweden) and return. for
1926 from Portland, IS from Augusta, $5.25
from Bangor, and in this proportion from other
points
These tickets may be procured at all stations
on the Maine Central railroad, and will be
good from July Goth to the 31st, inclusive
This very low price, less than one fare for the
round trip, makes this excursion an excellent
opportunity for one to visit the great agricul-
tural county of our state. The route chosen
follows up the St. John and Aroostook rivers
and penetrates into the very heart of the
Aroostook at Caribou. From this town it is
six mile drive over good level turnpike into
the settlement of New Sweden.
Tickets may be purchased by any one, and
all will be welcome at the New Sweden cele
bration.

Narrow Escape From Death

John McDermott, an employee of the Port
land Packing Co, met with an accident yester-
day forenoon which, nine times out Of ten,
would have resulted in DEATH He intended to
descend from the third story to the ground
floor, and instead of taking the stairway he
thought to save time by sliding down the wind
lass elevator rope. Catching hold of the rope
he swung himself out, when the staple which
fastened the rope to the beam, pulled out pre-
cipitating him to the lower floor distance of
nearly forty feet. He rose to his feet
without help and was taken home. A physi-
clan was summoned, but he was unable to dis
cover any injury except few bruises.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA,
KIT,


Portland Theatre was crammed to repleti on
last night, for Chanfrau's exit is a persona
ton that is always sure toidraw in Portland
The acting in the bar-room scene, the scenes in
the cabin and on the deck of the Medora, and
just before the combat with knives, where he
reclines painting and breathless on the rocks
all show the talent of the actor. The specta-
tor feels that the actor is not doing. things inn
possible in real life, nor even improbable, but
what brave man might readily do in the
same circumstances. Mr.. r. Fulton Russell
was admirable in his impersonation of the cool,
calculating, desperate gambler. Miss Jo-
sephine Baker filled the double role of Mary
Redding in the prologue, and Alice Redding
in the drama Messrs. Griffiths and Maurice
were as usual immense as the "two beats,''
Judge Suggs and Major Squiggs, so as to keep
their hearers in continual laughter. S.
N. Verney and B. F. Corning as Wash. Stubs
and Lord Fitzfolie filed their roles satisfac-
torily. Miss Victoria Cameron, though having
comparatively little to do as Mrs. Temple
acted that little well. F. D. Allen, as Jerry
Sleepers, imDersonated the impecunious black
leg and gambler. The rest of the company
were all acceptable in their several characters.
The Danites will be at Portland Theatre

Ferry Village,

The M. E. Church at the Ferry is to be con-
graduated on its ability to retain the valuable
services of the Rev. S. F. Wetherbee another
year. This action fully justifes the expecta-
ton of his friends, that predicted his stay of
three years. The society was never in bet
ter, if indeed so good, condition as at the pres
emit time. The church has been renovated in
side and out,so that now it looks almost as good
as new. The people insist that to the Rev'd
gentleman belongs large share of the credit.
We have no doubt but that this will be the
most successful year of all. K,
