MUSIC AND DRAMA.
BENNETT & MoULToN.

i'LNINrAI1 a. MOOLION.
Portland people seem to be well pleased with
the performances of the Bennett & Moulton opera
company, and so many have availed themselves
of the opportunity of obtaining good rendtions
Of the popular comic operas that crowded houses
are the rule
The performance of Gilbert s. Sulliyan's opera,
"The Pirales of Penzance" in the afternoon, was
among the best of the troupe's representations,
the leading parts being taken in a manner to oc-
cason abundant applause and the choruses being
given with accuracy and effect. The polcemen'S
chorus was especially good and Mr.. Clayton as
the Sergeant made the most Of his part. Mr.
Carl Alberto as Frederick, MI Miller as the pi-
ant, are deserving of mention. Miss Madigan as
Ruth gave finished performance and sang ac-
ceptably Misses Reed, Murphy and Fullerton,
as the three sisters, were very acceptable.
The plot of "The Queens Lace Handkerchief"
given in the evening is unique although difficult
taken acceptably by Mr.. Gilbert Clayton, who
merits praise for his attention to its detail Ben
Lodge, as Don Lanchis, acted in very creditable
manner, but it was not character in which he
shows his powers as a comedian at their best.
Miss Irene Murphy made pretty queen. Her
ones to reveal the fine qualities of her voice Miss
Fairbairn acted in her usual excellent manner.
She played the part of Donna Irene and, although
her cold still troubles her. sang in her character
istic style.
Tonight the company appears in "The Chimes
OF Normandy OF which the Bangor papers of last
week spoke very highly

First Free Baptist Fair.

The ladies of the First Free Baptist society
took possession of Y. NJ. c. A. hall yesterday, AND
when their fair was opened in the afternoon the
tables bore display of fancy and useful articles
which bore evidence to both the skill and energy
of the makers. The rug and quilt departments
were especially fine and received much attention
from the visitors who crowded the hall during the
afternoon and evening
The reception room of the Y. M. c. A. has been
ntted up as New England kitchen of the olden
time in so truthful a manner that nothing was
lacking to make the picture complete. The log
IRE blazed in the open fire place, the kettle
above it suspended from the crane, and the Chin
ney shelf ornamented with pieces of rare old CHI
ma. The doughnuts and other good things pre-
pared by the thrifty housewives, were set out for
the visitors, while in their old-fashioned dresses
and caps, lthe women were engaged in carding
and spinning, and then making on the swifts sin
gle and twisted yarn from the products of the
spinning wheel. The fax wheel also had its
place as in every old-time kitchen
The fair will continue through this afternoon
and evening. In the evening there will be an en-
tertanment

preventing the water seal from being removed in
the use of the same or adjacent fixtures draining
into the same outfan will begin at the very base
of the case-the soil pipe that serves to carry the
sewage beyond the walls of the habitation. 1t is
fundamental in sanitation that it shall be of coat
ed or enameled cast iron, with joints gas and
water tight, and start from point at least, five
feet beyond the house wall and extend full size
through and out of the top OF the house, with the
various fixtures properly trapped, entering on the
slant in the direction of its fall 1t does not per-
nit the use of galvanized iron pipe above the
highest water closet method more or less COM
mon in the few extensions through the roof IN our
State. 1t does not permit the use OF chimney
hue, separate conformity, heated or cold, except
that the same cast iron pipe Is continued through
the flue and out the top, and, even TINS, under
numerous restrictions. In the largest city OF our
state, Portland, in how many houses IS even this
first principle carried out? l doubt II there are
ten is one of the essentials, and the neglect of
IL is lndictable in those cities where they have
adopted the modern plumbing regulations The
question OF a trap on the house sewer against the
street sewer is somewhat mOOted, but the opinion
largely prevails in its favor, supplemented with a
fresh air inlet that serves to make fairly con-
slant current into the soil pipe near the loot wall
OF the house and through and out OF the top The
following diagram illustrates the principles and
methods above indicated:

The Use of Oil on the Water.

The following report of Capt. j. P Williams, Of
the barkentine Matthew Baird, will be read with
interest:
On February goth, in lat. $3.50 N, Ion. 1880
W., encountered a severe gale from the NV,
which after blowing for about twenty hours
hauled into the NNE. There was a heavy cross
sea running which broke in large quantities over
the vessels deck, until | got a bag filled with
crude oil over the weather cathead which kept
the seas from breaking until the 21st when the
weather moderated.
Again on the 2oth. 70 miles ESE from the
Capes of Delaware, the barometer fell to 29o and
prepared for gale. 1t came on from the Sc.
with heavy rain and sleet, and after little 1ull
suddenly sprung out from the NV. in a tremen
dous squall had bags of oil on each cathead.
with hawser over the port bow. The oil spread
rapidly and not a sea broke wherever it spread.
was compelled to run before the gale till
March 9th, when / hauled to in lat. 30.40 N,
lon 81 w. On the 9th had another severe gale
from WNW., lasting about sixteen hours. On
the 18th we had a strong gale which continued
with heavy seas till the 18th, during which time
kept the oil in use.
The oil was placed on board by my agent, Capt.
B. j. Willard, for the purpose for which it was
used, and cannot too highly recommend its use
but it is my opinion that fish oil would be better
than crude never saw such weather, and if 1t
had not been for the forethought of Capt. Willard
doubt If l would have got the bark safely to
mort.

Taking into consideration the amount that has
been written and sad and the appalling evil re-
suits arising from careessness and blunders, it is
astonishing that even the general public should
fail to comprehend the leading fundamental prin-
ciples necessary in properly plumbing and drain
ing house.
Most cities recognize these principles and ordi-
nances and plumbing regulations protect the pub
lie in such localities from the result of the errors
that ignorance and negligence combine to bring
about. Without discussing the merits of the
various traps or bars against the escape of sewer
gas, or the necessity of avoiding espionage, i. e.,
