MUSIC AND DRAMA.
LADIES ORCHESTRA.

LADIES ORCHESTRA.
The Ladies' Orchestra will give concert at Y
NJ. C. A. Hall tonight, under the direction of Mr..
Collins. Not only will all the usual instruments
be represented, but many not usually played by
ladies. A new uniform has been provided for the
occasion. The anvil chorus will be given in fine
style. Miss Bertha Webb, the fayorite young
yioliniSt, will appear and play on a StradivariuS
violin, valued at 800, loaned for the occasion
CONCERT AT PARK STREET CHURCH.
1t will be remembered by the musc-loying por-
tion of the community that a concert of superior
excellence was given in this church few weeks
ago, when Mr.. Aptommas, the celebrated harpist,
was assisted by some of the best amateur talent
of our city. The ladies and gentlemen who, on
that occasion, volunteered their services, have
kindly consented to give another concert in the
same place on Tuesday evening next, Feb. Esd,
for the benefit of the Sister Helen Margaret
Guild of st. Luke's Cathedral. One of the mem
bers of the Guild, Miss Harriet Airline Shaw, the
originator of the concert, is well known among us
for the grace and power with which she plays
that ancient and charming instrument, the harp.
The favorite and diligent pupil of Aptommas',
Miss Shaw always delights and fascinates her au-
dience. The other performers are Miss Alice Ger
ry-Patterson, soprano dramatique; Mrs. Henry
st. John Smith, contralto; Miss Bertha Webb vi
olinist; Mrs. Allen, pianist; Mr. Stoclbridge,
enough to attract a large audience. An addition
al reason for calling the attention Of all lovers of
good maSic to this concert is based upon the fact
that this will be the last opportunity they will
have this winter of hearing Mrs Patterson's
charming voice in public, as that lady leaves this
week for her home in Baltimore. Mrs. Patterson
has deServedly become famous as an amateur
singer and comments upon her voice are not
wanting which would rank her among our most
noted VocaliStS.
LESTER s. ALLEN.
This minstrel Company drew a large audience
to City Hall Saturday night. The various acts
were received fayorably. The principal card of

der the glare of the calcium light. The audience
was evidently well satisfied with the perform
ance.

voking comedy Of Vacation at Portland Thea

portland Z ogdenepurg railroad.

To the Editor of the Press;
In view of the fact that various rumors
are being circulated to prejudice the minds
of our citizens against me and misrepresent-
ing nv position in regard to the above rail
road it is well that they should remember
that it does not matter who may be elected
Mayor of the city at the spring election so
far as this railroad is concerned, whether he
be Republican or Democrat by reason of
the following amendment which is now a
part of the new charter and was dictated at
meeting of citizens in City Hall just one year
ago. The Mayor, whoever he may be, can
do nothing towards leasing or selling the
railroad without first having it submitted to
a popular vote of the people, as will be seen
from the following extract from the law
which reads as follows;
ssProvided, however, that no lease or agreement
for the sale lease OF any interest of said city in
previous acts shall be valid until the same shall be
ratified and confirmed by majority vote of the
legal voters OF the City of Portland in ward meet
ings duly called according to law"
Had or any other man desire, which I
hare not, to sacrifice the city's interest in
the above railroad, it team be plainly seen that
it would be impossible. I ask candid and
fair minded men to pause and consider the
motives of the persons who have so mali
ciously misrepresented me.
