TILE black CROOK.

THE BLACK CROOh'
The BLACK Crook" with all Its many
splendors, will appear at Portland Theatre
Friday night and Saturday. The sale of
seats will begin at the box Office today. An
exchange says: "This is the largest, most
deliberately mounted and most spectacular
play ever put upon the road, and it is de-
lightful and delicious feast of beauty, art
and mechanism. Every artist is a star, and
every act perfect gem. The fine speciality
acts incidental to the piece constitute in
themselves an entertainment when is alone
worth far more than the price of admission.
In addition to these is presented full dra-
matte company. superb ballet corps, and
twenty-five new and brilliantly beautiful
scenes from the pencils of the first artists In
the land The transformation scene, with
its magnificent changes, is marvel OF arts
tic skill and elegance; it is entranclngly
beautiful, and forms fitting finale 10 this
matchleSS entertainment.
THE IDEALS.
The tickets for the separate opera nights
are selling very rapidly at Stockbridge's, and
all who have not yet secured their seats
should do so at once. The four operas to be
presented are among the great successes of
the Ideals last season; they afford an oppor-
tunity to hear all the leading artists at their
best, and the arrangements made for those
persons residing out of town, who wish to
attend the operas, are all that could be de-
sired.
NOTES.
This week another new play was set down
for the Globe Theatre, Boston, M. b. Curtis's
Caught in Corner" but lack of time for a
thorough preparation obliged a change, and
so the familiar strains of the '.Mikado" will
be heard The cast includes Miss Geraldine
Ulmar, Sig. Brocolini, Miss Agnes Stone,
Miss Alice earle, Miss Edith Jennesse. Mr..
Roy Stanton, Mr.. Jos. G. Fay, Mr.. n. S.
Burnham, and Mr.. j. w. Herbert.
Manager Stetson has hard lines with his
Gilbert & Sullivan arrangement for this sea-
son. The author and the composer promised
to have their new opera ready at a certain
time this fall, and accordingly Mr.. Stets0n
left open dates for long run of the work in
New York and Boston. But Sir Arthur de-
voted so much time to the new cantata he
has been working on, that the opera music
had to suffer, and accordingly the work can
not appear until Dec, 1, and possibly later.
Hermann, the famous prestidigltateuT, has
returned from three years tour abroad, land
new delusion-the Vanishing Woman
which he carries on without any visible ap-
paratus whatever. The stage is covered
with carpet which is in one piece. In the
center newspaper is spread out, and chair
placed upon it. Mile. Addie seats herself in
this, and is covered by large square of fou-
lard silk, that has previously been examined
by the audience. Her figure is outlined be-
meath it. Hermann plucks the silken sheet
away, and presto Mile. Addie is gone, no
one knows how or whittier.

In the Superior Court report yesterday it
was stated by some of the jurors that the
foreman made a mistake and signed wrong
verdict but this was not known until it was
too late to rectify it; that they found and in
tended to render general verdict of guilty.
The case was the Webster case, State VS..
George Webster, search and seizure with
prior conviction. a. The foreman had in his
charge two verdicts in blank. One of the
blank verdicts was finding of guilty; the
other one was a finding of guilty but deny
ing prior conviction. Itwas the intention of
the jury to have signed the first named YER
dict, which carried with it a penalty of six
months imprisonment additional to the fine
enforced by the statute, but through mis-
take the signatures of the jury were affixed
to the other, which entailed fine simply
without Imprisonment
