MUSIC AND DRAMA,
MARGARET MATHER.

A crowded house was of course, drawn to
Portland Theatre last night, to witness Miss
Mather's performance of Juliana, ia the Hon
eymoon. Tobin's comedy is full of sparkling
wit, and his Juliana is woman, rather girlish
perhaps, but very charming woman, vino,
though she may show temper does it in a
manner that is never forgetful of the rules of
good breeding. Miss Mather hardly carries
out this idea, for when she is angered she takes
the conception that Julians was lacking in
true dignity. But Miss Mather is very pretty
and graceful, she dances with much effect, and
makes a very sweet and loving wife after she
has bowed to the will of her husband. The
support was very good Tonight she will ap-
pear as Pauline.

two hundred acres of land, was one day
this week offered 1920 per acre for his

refused the offer The land had not cost
him one-tenth of the money, and he had
been farming it a long series of years,
plodding along in his humble way, and be
lieying that he was "a comparatively poor
man until his eyes were opened by this
tempting offer.
