DREAMS.
Willie Edouin's s'Sparks Company" drew q
good house at Portland Theatre last night, but
not as large an audience as the piece deserved
Not that the extravaganza of itself is remark
able, but 1t is neat, clean musical conceit,
and very prettily and gracefully acted by Mr..
and Mrs. Edouin and the company. Miss
Anna Gunther is great addition to the troupe
and Miss Holtzmeyer is very pleasing. Willie
Edouin is especially good as the retired farmer
John Binks, aged seventy, while Alice Ather-
ton-Mrs. Edouin--as Ruby Binks, is a most
charming and motherly old lady. The dinner
scene in the first act is capitaly acted and the
music delightfully."- rendered. In the second
act Mr.. Edouin's photographer is awfully fun
ny, and Miss Athertons portrait was admira-
Bile, Mr.. James T. Power is excellent both as
Buttons and Chipcheeky. The audience was
lavish OF its applause, and the various songs
and concerted music were encored again
and again.
Tonight the new play "The Bunch of Keysn
the plot OF which was given in the PRESS re-
Gently, will be produced in Portland for the
first time.
LYCEUM THEATRE.
Mr.. Lambe, the stage manager took a benefit
at this theatre last evening. Although some
OF the promised local talent failed, very sat-
isfactory entertainment given. Mr. and
Mrs Conway and Mr.. and Mrs. Boston appear
ed to good advantage and Prof Clark's fine
execution upon the eornet deserves special
mention.
Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Conway
have benefit. They are great favorites and
will have full house. Mr. Conway has made
many friends in this city and they seem deter
mined to attest their regard for him at his
benefit.
ADA DYAs.
Saturday night Miss Ada Dyas from Wal
lacks Theatre, Now York, supported by Bar
ton Hill, and strong company will appear at
Portland Theatre as Hester Grazebrook in An
Unequal Match" There was fair advance
sale of seats yesterday. There should be
large audience as Miss DyaS is one of the best
actresses on the stage.
NOTES.
1t is pleasant to see Mr. and Mrs. Florence's
faces in the store windows once more. They
will appear at Portland Theatre next week,
Denman Thompson in Josh Whitcomb'
will crowd Portland Theatre the latterts part of
next week.

and better able to work. In the evening
when he goes to distributing his case, he
recounts the history of his late places of
employment. He knows the circulation
and amount of business of every paper
in the state, and just why the Dispatch
suspended, and why the Advance sold
out to the Courier. He is well acquainted
with the unknown editor Of the Thun-
derer, and has friends on the editorial
force of all the leading journals of the
country. By and by he whistles low an air
from the italian opera, and in reply toa
question answers with Latin quotation.
He stays with US week, and we grow to
like him more and more every day; he
has read everything, from Shakespeare
and Ruskin to Marx Twain and Bill Arp;
he knows more about our laws, national
and state, than the bgst lawyer in the
city; he is well acquainted with the life
OF every eminent person of the age, and
is perfect encyclopedias of current events;
but we cannot afford to keep him any
longer, so we pay him off and he again
starts ON his long road that leads-not
to home, for be has has none; not to the
society of intelligent people like him
self, for outside OF the printng offic hs

too. have finished our journey here and

We wonder sometimes If he will remem-

some pleasant questions which will be
hard to answer truthfully, as for in

Are not newspaper men too lax in dis
cipline for young boys sent to them as
apprentices, sending them out as print
ers before their trades are half learned,
or business habits established, and with
no idea of the dignity and response bility

Are not vagrant habits in manhood
the result Of lack of business training in
boyhood?
Are not bad habits intensified by the
uncertainty of permanent work and the
certainty of poor pay?

DEATH IN THE SKY.

Who that looks upward to the sky
In some transparent summer night,
When mystic skars are burning bright.
When there Is nothing wide and high
Save what encARnts the sight.
Who thai looks upward to the life

Quiesct Mt as the a1w Of streams.
Unmarried By bitter death or bstTife.
Ethereal as our dreams
Thinks that within the calmy vast
World.nature rolling overhead
Suns circle which are cold and dead,
And spheres which blazed In ages past
Are lifeless globes. that shed

Yet whirl upon their unseen ways
like ghosts Of other skies and days,
Like shadows lingering darkly where

As radiant earth is but the tomb
Where death awaits behind It's bars
Hearts torn with many wounds and scars,
The sky IL an unfathomed gloom

strait and needing him. He always wears
the same style of clothes-coat of one

a. tle heels, and his hat is battered and
dusty. There are spots of ink about his
shirt, which h,nss over his waistband,
and his new paper collar is the only
fresh, VIII .te thing about him, and it
looks as though he had just put it on
with soiled fingers. He is pale, weak
eyed and prematurely gray haired; he
looks as though he had never known reg
ular hours, either for sleeping or eating,
and he must have come thousands of
miles, and been coming ever since he
was boy. His starting point was so
far away and so long ag that he has al
most forgotten where or when it was;

Fashions for Gentlemen.

Linked sleeve buttons are the thing.
Silk neckerchiefs are of white pongee
silk
English tweed hats viii be worn to
match suits.
Brown is the prevailing color for over
coats.
Colors and designs are more subducd
this season.
Twenty-six inches is the size of a fash
ionable umbrella.
The high-buttoned style of dress is
| rapidly going out of fashion.
Malacca OF bamboo walking-canes
should have curious design for a top.
Cuffs have square corners that meet
when fastened by linked sleeve buttons.
The frock coat will be worn to some
extent with a low roll to show the shirt
bosom.
The new standing collars are higher
in front and cut away, and are called
the Myron.
Olive, gray. and brown are the fash
ionable colors worn by young men in
business suits.
Spring and summer overcoats are
long, single breasted socks, with fly
front, and shaped to the figure.
The hat for general wear will continue
to be a black, blue, or brown Derby of
medium height, with slightly wider brim
and binding.
A new style of overcoat is between an
overcoat and an ulster, with the side
seams left open at the bottom from eight
to ten inches.
Silk handRerchiefs, worn in the breast
pocket, are cardinal, blue, olive, mand-
arin yellow, or polka dotted, with wide
hemstitched hem.
For silk hose black is still preferred
for dress, with colored clocks on the sides
or wrought in small designs on the front
of the leg and the instep.
The Germanic turned down collar is
most comfortable, and has now more
than an inch of space open at the throat
and widen further to the pointed ends
The dude should provide himself
with a hat having a low bell-shaped
crown five and five-eighths inches high,
and brim one and seven-eighths inches
wide
Scotch homesPun plaids, worstcd and
cassimeres, of neat small checks and
mixed threads of color are used for che

by men during business hours.
The stylish silk hat for middle-aged
or elderly gentleman has crown six
and one-eighth inches high, with a rolling
Drlm two and one-elghth inches WIDE.
The brim has light standing curve
The cheViots, melton, and soft goods
generally are double stitched on the
edge three-eighths of an inch, but the
worsteds and finer goods are bound with
wide braid laid on flat, which produces
a good effect.
Gloves are almost universally worn
on the street for walking, for driving,
and at church, but it still remains a mat
ter to be settled by each individual
whether or not they are worn at we'd
dings, the opera, etc.
The double-breasted Prince Albert is
always appropriate for evening wear,
but some, with propriety, prefer the
single-breasted, or what is known as the
Broadway coat; the latter is especially
suitable to a slender figure.
The shoes for men who prefer comfort
to style have wider toes and broader
soles than those worn last season, but
those who wear closely fitting trousers
that do not spring over the ankle and
make the feet conspicuous wear walk
ing shoes with pointed toes and narrow
soles. rs these have the apparent effect
of diminishing the size of the feet.
