MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FRANK MAYO.

FhANA MaIO'
Tonight the popular actor Frank Mayo,
will appear in his new play 'Nordeck,' at
Portland Theatre. An exchange says;
1.-THE decidingly interesting plot of Nor
deck" has to do with the lntrlgueS of a
tates of Villica from an elder son by Ger
man father, and advance the fortunes OF her
country and of her younger son, whose faith
er was Pole. AS the German Nordeck,
Mr.. Mayo has advantages OF power and
presence, and that peculiar o1f1hand manner
of planning and perfecting his purposes,
which has established and maintained his
popularity in other parts. The five acts of
the play transpire at Villica, all but the first
in the great hall of the castle, rms allows
scenic arrangements of considerable note,
and after the first change the lntermlsslon
between the acts are none of them of more
than three minutes in length,
THE MIKADo.
The Gilbert Opera Company gave the
''Mikado" in very good shape at City Hall,
Saturday afternoon and evening to large
audiences, who encored all the popular
numbers and called out the principals in
''The Flowers of SPRING five times in the
afternoon. The opera was prettily costum-
ed, and the scenery brought by the manage
ment was attractive and frightened up the
stage considerably. In a small hall this
opera would have boon even more affective
for piano accompaniment than in that large
City Hall, and very small chorus is not
conducive to great body of tone. Mr.
Osgood's sweet tenor voice was heard with
pleasure in the part of Nanki-Poo, and Mr..
Gilbert was not only amusing as K0-KO,
but sang his music well. Miss Russell was
excellent as Katisha, her voice and stylewere
admirable Miss Ernst was a pleasing Yumss
Yum and Miss Florence Bate was bright
and spirited as Pitti-Sing. The other char
acters were well taken.
Mr.. Stockbridge kindly gave some 800
tickets to the matinee to the Primary Fra
ternity, boys of the Y NJ. G. A., Orphan
Asylum and other Institutions These chill
dren when they go to such places should be
under the charge of competent persons.
Saturday afternoon there was a great deal of
unnecessary noise made by boys running
round and clambering over seats in the gal
leries, going out of the hall and coming in
slamming doors after them, thus disturbing
and taking from the enjoyment of the we'll
behaved ones as well as adults. In future
we hope this will be attended to.
NOTES.
The tickets are selling we'll at Stock
bridges for Lester and Aliens great min

given at Portland Theatre, February 23d

gyues' MASQUERADE.

On account of the many novelties to be
presented at the Blues ball tomorrow even
ing, Mr.. Grimmer will begin the concert at
T45 instead of o'clock as announced. At
$40 there will be a polo game between the
Fats and Leans that bids fair to be the most
exciting OF the season. Dolly, the skating
horse, will then give an exhibition of her
many tricks that delighted everybody at the
Bijou rink few days ago, after which the
carnival of beasts, the hen that lays eggs,
and the mammoth bull frog will have con-
troll of the floor until o'clock, when the
grand march will take place, The boys are
working hard and deserve to have a big
house. The dance orders are very pretty
and there will be large demand for them.

Temperance Party Nominations

TO Tie Editor q the PTeSS
We are told that the Sunday Times yester-
day stated that the temperance committee
have decided to present the name of John
W. Deering to the meeting at Y. NJ. c. A.
hall this evening as candidate for Mayor.
We can only say-The Times is either very
easily gulled, or else thinks its readers are
simpletons or the temperance committee
fools. | have attended all the temperance
meetings so far and as far as presenting the
even been mentioned among us. If the rep
resentative of the Times will take the trouble
to attend the meeting this evening he will
find that the temperance men Of Portland
are not so hard pushed for candidates as to
take man who does not believe in our pro-
hibitory law, though willing to enforce it.

The twenty-sixth annual statement of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society of the United States,
published to-day, should be carefully examined.
tits not too much to say that such an improve
ment in respect to everything which makes life
insurance company strong and prosperous, is
rarely shown in an annual statement The new
business of the Society in 1886 was eleven mil
lions greater than it was In 1885, and thirty
millions greater than the annual business of any
other company up to that time. During the past
year the assets were increased eight millions and
the surplus over three millions. The Society is
noted for the prompt payment of death claims

some year ago was apparently so far

dose gave me relief, and with the first
bottle took new lease Of life, and
can honestly say to-day that one spoon
