ing of "Adeline," one of Tennyson S
heroines; " beautiful, double-size,

hundred other illustrations for stories,
workable, fashions, etc, etc. The
stories-though Jefferson" is cele-
brated for good stories-are better
than ever. Frank Lee Benedict's,
1.-THE Burglary at Archer's'," is full
of humor. Mrs. Stephens's, "The
Motherlass Girl" gets more pathetic
and powerful as it goes on. The bril-
liant noyclct Of New York fashionable
life, by Mrs. John Sherwood, "The
Lost Aridue," comes to n conclusion,
in which the parties who deserve it are
properly made happy. A novelet by a
new author, "a Tale of Louisiana
Pine Lands" opens with great vigor,
is full of local color, and promises to
quite rival Cable, in its picture 81

hymns, reading the Scriptures and prayer
by Rev. S. F. Pearson, after which Rev. j.

from the text, ''Come, for all things are now
ready" and in very careful manner pre-
scented the three things necessary in accept

next speaker, and congratulated Mr..
Pearson and the mission workers in being
able to have such pleasant and commodious
rooms for worship, and choosing for his text
the words, "My house shall be called house
of prayer" and delivered very telling adj
dress, touching upon the many vital points
that will make the mission success in our
city. This evening the women's gospel tenn

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE WEBB.

FRIDAY-Daniel F. Anglin, admir-, vs. The
Grand Trunk Railway Company. This is an &C.
ton brought by the administrator of the estate of
Charles H. Shannon to recover for personal iniu-
defendants cars on the night of May "a, 1884,
upon Holyoke's wharf from the effect of which
injuries he died the next morning. The damages
claimed are $4,000.
The plaintiff claims that the defendants were
negligent in the management of their train in
that they sent these cars down upon the wharf
without an engine attached to them and without
any light or other warning.
The train was run on to the wharf between ten
and eleven O'clock in the evening. No person saw
the accident, and Shannon was not discovered I'M
til the next morning at six o'clock. He gave no
account of what he was down there for or how the
accident occurred. Shannon was in the employ of
fed this lumber shed on the wharf in which the
accident happened Is, and was at the time, a
United States bonded warehouse; that on the af-
terno0n previous to the injury he told Shannon to
close the doors OF the warehouse Sunday morning
Shannon was found lying beside the tack in this
warehouse, between the cars that had been run
down in the night, and pile of lumber, the pass
ageway, between the cars and the lumber, beng
about three feet wide
The defendants deny that their employees were
in any way negligent in the management of the
train that night; that instead of making flying
shunt as II Is understanding the cars down with
out anything to control them but the brake-they

of the accident was intoxicated. Mr.. Strout was

adjourned.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
CALLED BACK.

CALLEO bAths
Avery large audience-the largest Of this
season-greeted Miss Claxton at the Port
land Theatre last evening and witnessed the
production of "Called Back" Hugh Con-
ways famous story. The novel itself, as all
who have read it know, is full of emotion
aud dramatic situations. In the construc-
ton of the play variation from the story is
rendered necessary by the requirements of
the stage, but none of the emotional situa-
tions are omitted; in fact the change is such
as to increase, if anything, the effectiveness
of the scenes. a.
Last evenings company was strong one.
Miss Claxton was, of course, the central
figure, but she was SO admirably supported
that many Of the company shared with ner
TIE TIE honor 81 leading parts, Pauline" the
to give full scope to her peculiar talents. 1t
is directly in the line of the parts in which
she has won her reputation, certain parts of
Pauline" calling forth the same powers as
the blind girl in the Two Orphans" de-
mand Mr.. Charles A. Stephenson plays
the author intended the character to as
sumo, while Mr.. Clay Greene makes all pos
Slble out of the role of Arthur Kenyon"
The central male part, however, is that of
"Macari,p taken by Alexander Salvini, a son
of the tragedian. He throws much force and
intelligence into the character and displays
talent which is without doubt hereditary.
Mention should also be made of the natural
action of Mr.. a. A. Thomas as "Dr. Ceneri, y
and Of the grace of Miss Craigen as MARY"
All the minor parts were well sustained.
Considering that this is the. first week of
this company in Called Back" the produc-
ton last night is excellent. 1t will be re-
peated this evening.

The Provident Aid Society.

To the Editor of the Press:
An announcement of the recent arrest in
Maine of person representing himself as
an agent of Mutual Benefit Association
has been made in such a way as to mislead
the public to an inference that no relief or
benefit association can solicit memberships
in this State, except under the heavy penalty
of law, imposing fine of fifty dollars upon
every person thus acting as an agent, and
for each instance of such solicitation.
The Insurance Commissioner may have
given public notice to such effect, as was an
nounced, for a warning to the various mu-
tual assessment associations of other states
illegally doing business in Maine, and to
warn the public against such of them as are
not only doing business Illegally, but fraudu-
lently, and deceiving those persons who may
be induced by plausible representations to
join an association without knowing any,
thing about the legal responsibility or safety
thereof.
Maine, seeking to avail themselves of what
is equivalent to life insurance at a very low
cost, have been induced to join sthe associa-
ton organized in other States and merely un-
der general corporation law, without any
legal responsibility and in the management of
unknown persons. Indeed it seems as if with
in the last few years the associations which
have been deceiving and swindling the peo-
pie of other States had found new and
most successful field of operations in Maine,
and 1t is well II our Insurance Commissioner
is taking steps to put stop to all this, and
open the eyes Of our people to the true state
of affairs.
But the announcement applicable to those
the Provident Aid Society of Maine, having
its Office in Portland, conducted under the
legal authority of a charter granted by
special Act of the Legislature to the well
known and responsible citizens of this State
named as corporators and officers, with its
affairs under the special official supervision
OF the Insurance Commissioner, thus .afford-
ing in addition to various other advantageous
features, a guarantee of safety to all who
may provide for their families by becoming
members of this society.
