SALEMS VS.. FOREST CIrYs To-NIGHT.-FoREST
CITYs' BENEFIT.
The Alamedas will not appear at the Forest Citys'
benefit tonight. They could not make arrange
ments to come so the Forest Citys have secured
the Salems of the Massachusetts Summer League
to take their place. This will put them to more
expense, but they are bound to give those who
buy tickets their moneys worth, and the game will
be much better than one with the Alamedss "a the
latter club has played none since last Winter. The
Salems are strong team and held the lead with
tho Oak Islands in the Massachusetts Summer
League the same the Forest Citys and Old Or
chards did in the Maine league. At the close of the
league the two clubs were tied for first place. and in
tie game the medals were won by the Oak Islands.
The Salems are equally as good PLAYERS as they,
and if the Forest Citys can win game from them
clusion of the game Orne and Kelsey will give one
of their fine exhibitions of fancy and trick skating.
1t will be the best affair of the season. and there
are many reasons why all patrons of the rink
should be there 1t will close the season with the
rink; will probably be the last game the Forest
Citys, with their present membership, will ever
play at least until next Summer and all interested
in the popular game should snow the club that
their efforts to play goGd game have been sppre
them at the places indicated in the advertisement
80 as to avoid the rush at night. As some have
thought that the price of tickets is too low ali are
reminded that it won't be anything wrong to buy
two and use one.

Court Terms in Oxford Oeuntr.

A meeting of the members Of the Oxford
county bar was held Thursday morning tn
take into consideration the advisability Of
changing the time of the holding Of the spring
and autumn terms of the Supreme judicial
Court in that county, and Of holding three
terms per year instead of two.
In reference to tho September court it was
urged that the term now comes in the midst Of
harvesting, so soon after election and at q time
when the State and County fairs are in pro-
gress, that it is very difncult snd inconvenient
for attorneys to have their Gases properly pre-
pared and ready for trial, and very incons
venient for jurSmen. clients and witnesses 70
be in attendance, and obliged to remain, ~
is often the case, for many days at time.
In reference to the March term, it now
comes at season of the year when the travel
ing is generally very bad, and is growing
worse rather than better through the whols
time of the term, rendering it great hard
ship for many, who must necessarily come long
distances TO attend.
II seemed to be the sense Of the meeting
that the autumn term should be held latefs
and the spring term earlier in the season. a
vote was taken upon the question, and the
members were almost unanimous in tbs
opinion that the September term should b
changed from the third Tuesday in September
to the third Tuesday in October. and that the
March term should be changed from the
second Tuesday in March to the second Tues-
day in February.
The matter Of holding a third term of tho
court was discussed at length, it being argued
that the terms woulo be shorter, and the busi-
ness OF the county more promptly and CON.
veniently transacted, and 1t was finally voted
that third term be asked for, and, II granted
by the Legislature, that it should be held on
the first Tuesday in May.
Upon motion, John P. Swasey, A. s. Kiu-
ball and James S. Wright were appointed n
committee to lay the matter before the next
Legislature.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE HOWARD SPECIALLY co.


When Manager Harris OF the Howard Athen@sm
told reporter for the Boston Herald short tins
ago that the management Of that popular place OF
amusement made no ado about paying extremely
high salaries to variety performers because they do
termined to employ none but the very best, he eVi
IDENTIFY told the honest truth. The company the
Howard has placed on the Portland Theatre stage
gives Of the most laughable thoroughly enjoyA-
BILE performances ever seen in that house. Hamlin
and Keee, eccentric song and dance are well called
the extremes, for the one is dwarf and the other
very large man, and the contrast is so prominent
y kept before the audience and in such funny ways
that the spectators encore them again and again,
delightful act, and the one who plays the bassoon
is not only artist in his line but he has capital
face for legitimate comedy. Doyle deserves hig
champion medal for a better clog dancer has never
been seen in this country. The two "Macs" per-
formed the most wonderful feats Of grounnc ana
their necks. The lady artists all good and Miss
Simms is an unusually graceful and accomplished

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 19.-At 2.45 this after
noon shock of earthquake was felt very percepti-
bly, in some parts of this city. Several buildings
were shaken up considerably, driving many people
to the streets through fright. The vibrations con-
tinued ten seconds.
The boat captains say that there was noticeable
rise in the river at the time At the telephone
offices no shock was felt while in the same building
across the hallway it was very perceptible. The
employees of the Whitney Organ Company assert
that the building vibrated at least IA inches. In
the Western Union building the floor seemed to
heaye. The operators left their instruments and
the men in the lower part of the building made for
the street.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 19.-In this city the earth
quake barely perceptible but in the suburbs it
was quite severe. In Oumminsyille, northwestern
ward of Cincinnati, the tremor felt so distinct
ly as to cause quite ALARM not only in the public
schools. where the pupils were with difficulty kept
in their seats, but also in private houses In man
1ngton, schoolhouse in the northeastern part of
Cincinnati, the agitation was felt, which recog-
nzed al once by the teachers being caused by an
earthquake Here, too it required all the authori-
ty OF the teachers to avoid panic. In Covington,
kentucky, many houses were severely shaken. The
reported time Of the earthquake varies from half
past two to few minutes after three and the dura.
20 seconds. AT Lawrenceburg, Ind, the shock
caused great alarm in the schoohouse, which was
soon vacated. A clock was thrown from the shelf
and many children, in their frantic endeayors to
get out of the building, jumped out of the windows
OF the lower story, but no one, however, was hurt

feet per mile the party found themselves above
the Clouds at the summit of the grand old noun
tain, 600 feet, or more than miie, higher than
the top OF Bunker Hill monument. The views from
the cars while ascending we're superb but as the
summit itself was enveoped in clouds the attention
of the party was mainly devoted to excellent
dinner prepared for them after which a return
the route OF the morning was made and the Hub
reached In due time, the excursionists congratulate
ing themselves that they had enjoyed the rare priv
ilege OF making trip from Boston to the summit of
Mt. Washington and back to the city the same day.
In fact 1t Is doubtful if the trip was before
made within the twenty -four hours. Before sep
