The Boy of To-day.

The attention of all interested in the train
ing Of "our boys" and of the boys themselves
is called to Mrs, Livermore's lecture to be de-
livered in Congress square church this even
ing at As. This new lecture has met with
favor wherever it has been received, and Mrs.
Liyermore has sustained her reputation as one
of Americas first platform speakers. The lee
ture is described as being "rich in thought,
repIete with good things, with flashes of quiet
humor that evoked considerable laughter"
The opportunity to hear this lecture, is one
which our readers should not neglect

The First National Bank Of this city has de-
eided to increase its capital stock in the
amount of 100000, making it a round mil.
lion. For more than twenty years this bank
has paid 10 per cent yearly to It's shareholders,
and has also paid three extra dividends. The
directors have intended TO make this increase
for some time past, but the recent action OF
Congress reducing the tax on deposits has
prompted them to the present course. Tho
amount saved to the bank is about $1,000 per
annum, which now insures the usual divi-
dends in spite Of decreased interest on bonds

a sewing MACHINE agent IN trouble
Mr.. Walter r. Pattee is an agent for the
Singer sewing machine At Hculton, and is said
to be the proprietor Of large couutry store ia
that flourishiug town. Fer some time past the
United States officers have believed that Mr.
Pattee, together with other parties engaged by
him, were smuggling all kinds Of goods across
the line from Canada. According to the offic-
ials it is alleged that Pattee sent sewing ma
chimes in large numbers over The border and
took in exchange for them all kinds Of valua-
BILE goods which were subject to heavy duty in
this country, besides large quantities Of pro-
duce. The border line, it is well known, ex-
tends over large amount of territory and 1t is
not very difficult to elude the few officials who
have such province to guard. 1t is thought
by the officers that Psttee's vrntures have real
ICED several thousand dollars for him, and per-
haps as high as $1,000. Among The articles, 1t
Is claimed. Struggled was a fine double har-
ness.
Deputy Marshal II. u. Marble, on luforma-
ton furnished, went to Honltou and returned
yesterday with his prisoner. Pattee was
brought before the Clerk of the T. s. Circuit
Court, Mr.. Davis, and bound over in $500 for
his appearance on the charge Of smuggling the
harness. Gen. Mattocks appears for Pattee.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
ONLY 4 FARMERS pAuaHrEn.


Elliot Barnes "Only Farmers Daughter,
will DO produced at Portland Theatre Friday
and Saturday with Miss Lillian Billings on
the title role and Mamie Gilroy, the wonder
full child actress, in strong part. The New
York World says: "Only a Farmers Daugh-
ter" has pronounced melodramatic tone; it
is highly emotional, and, it might be said, SEN
sational; and having strong plot, and being
very skilfnlly constructed, 1t follows that there
are many strong situations and plenty Of life
and action all through-in short, that 1t Is a
very effective acting play. In addition 10
this 1t should be said that the dialogue is as
good as the plot and the process OF the de-
velopment that the parts are nearly all effec-
i've and that the announcement is novel, in
genioas and highly impressive.
sAaL OF PosEN
Tickets should be secured at once at Stock
bridges for .he performances Of samuel Of
Posen'' to be given at City Hall Friday an d
Saturday evenings. An exchange says:
'sam'l Of Posen will probably remain on the
bills at Haverlys Fourteenth Street Theatre
until the first Of August. II is difficult to snr-
mise what the success Of the piece would have
been II its production could have occurred
eahAef IA tue year 1hat u should make
protracted run beginning on the very flag end
Of the theatrical season, is the best possible
proof q It's lasting quality. Rarely in late
years have we found In one piece so much that
was novel, and attractive BY reason Of its
novelty. The movement Of Mr.. Jessops drama
IS lively enough 10 keep everybody interested
from first TO last, and the comedy element
grows funnier through extended familiarity.

OLeary's Young Men Contribute a Game to
the Michiganders, by a Score of
Z to 2.

Manager OLeary would rather defeat the De-
troits than any other club in the country, and
probably for that reason he is unable to do it.
Yesterday the representatives of Michigan in
the League came down here and easily defeated
the home nine by score of 2 to 2. McKeon
was not in good form, and the visitors batted
him hard and safely, while, on the other hand,
O'Leary's men could do but little with the pitch
ing of Shaw and Burns. Up to the fifth inning
the game was remarkably free from errors, and
throughout it was a good exhibition of fielding.
Hanlon carried off the honors by his splendid
catches in center field although Trott made a
remarkably brilliant one-hand stop of hard hit
of Keenan's and folded him out at first O'Leary
made fine double play in the second inning.

People who take but a languid and unintellt-
