A Stage Struck Heiress.

A New Haven despatch says that ''during
the week several young dudes in that city
have been raving over the remarkable beau
ty of one of the chorus girls in the Corinne
Merrie Makers company, playing at muse
UNI. The young lady, however, seemed to
keep as much out of sight as possible when
off the stage. Her history has leaked out.
She is Miss Allie Veazie, who disappeared
four weeks ago from her home in Bangor.
She is a daughter of the late Col Veazie, who
died soon after the girl disappeared For
the past year she has been stage struck, but
she met with such strong OPPOSITION from
her father that she pretended to give up her
ambition for histrionic fame, but at the first
opportunity she slipped away and joined the
Corinne company. Her relatives have had
no idea of her whereabouts. She is heiress
to about 100000, and speaks three languages
fluently"

(which Way?"

That every article used for the same purpose is
Of vital value no one admits. AS in all natural
productions so in the manufactured; all have
their degree of merit, and Soap is as conspicuous
in its variety as anything else. But in this as the
demand for the Pure and Reliable increases, so
does the value of the productions of CURTIS
DAVIS & Co., especially their "WELCoSIE" and
'UNEQUALED EXTRA" brands, being practically
recommended by other manufacturers, who imi-
tate them in every conceivable way. But, while
this compliment may be appreciated, what can be
said in favor of such competition the character
of such goods and their makers? No one should
be deceived, as the original has the name of CUR
TIR DAVIS in full, either on the bar or wrapper,
and it is their purpose to let their reputation
stand on this class of goods.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
RANK AND FAME.

An excellent house greeted Mrs. Barry,
Mr.. Redmund, and their company at Port
land Theatre, Saturday night in the roman
tic military drama Crank and Fame" The
piece, whose story has already been told in
the PRESS, deals with the troubles between
Bohemia and Austria during the days of Ma
ria Theresa. 1t is full of incident, its situa-
lions are well worked up, and if the proba-
bilities are sometimes severely taxed, yet,
such is the license of the dramatist, and the
spectators interest is continually excited
rather than allowed to diminish. The novel
feature of the revolving guard-house, in the
third act, was well carried out, the play was
handsomely costumed, and there were occa-
s1ons-as when Princess Amelia, Mrs. Bar
ry,) pleads with brother the King of Bohe-
mia (Mr. Scott for the life of Frederick of
Trenck, (Mr. Redmund,) in which her earn
estness and dramatic simplicity, brought
down the house. Mr.. Redmund was dash
ing Frederick, Mr.. Huebur good Capt.
Kerner, and Mr.. Fairbanks a comical Will
helm. Some of the gentlemen's pronouncia-
tion of the French language could be i'm
proved, and noble lords should bear in mind
that no one is allowed to turn their back on
their sovereign; but as whole the piece was
presented with credit.
ANNIE FINLEY.
Annie Pixley will play at Portland Theatre
Wednesday and Thursday, and the sale of
seats will begin today. The Boston Trans
cript says: ''Since the play was last seen
here, a few changes have been made and
many new songs and dances introduced, all
making for improvement. "M'liss" is a
lively play of the sensational and humorous
kind, but it is very good of the kind and al
ways affords intense qualification to an audi
ence that cares more for amusement than ed
ifcation. Perhaps the most pleasing fea-
lures are the songs and dances, in whichMiss
Pixley is most successful. She has good
voice and uses it with fine effect, and her eff
forts last night well deserved the enthusiast
tic applause given her. The. supporting
company is a fine one in all respects, Mr.
Meredith and Mr.. DAILY as Yuba Bill and
Judge Beeswinger respectively being notably
good. The scenery is unusually fine and the
representation is every way satisfactory.
NOTES.

made such favorable impression in the Col
leen Bawn, has adopted the stage as pro-
fession and has joined the Lord Tatters COM

A somnambuIIst's Experience.

Mr.. David Sanborn of Minneapolis, Mimi,
arrived in this city Saturday. His baggage
arrived here several days ago, and he would
have been here with it but for an incident
that occurred to him en- route. He was
sound asleep on the train when it pulled up
at station, and without knowing what he
was doing jumped from his seat, ran out of
the car and commenced walking up and
down the station platform. Soon the train
started, but he made no attempt to board it.
After awhile he woke up and was greatly
surprised to find himself there. He had
slept soundly through all his excitement.
