Knights of Labor.


Mr.. Charles H. Iitehman of Marblehead,
Mass, who lately addressed public meeting at
City Hall, and who has been organizing ASSEMBLIES
of Knights Of Labor throughout Maine and New
Hampshire, arrived in this city by the midnight
train from Bath Saturday, and yesterday after
noon addressed the Dirigo Assembly at their hall
on Middle street. upon the secret work of the or
der. This was of course a private meeting. In
the evening by invitation, he also addressed the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of this city
and returned home to Boston on the 2 a. m. train
this morning.
In conversation with Mr.. Ltchman yesterday,
by PRESS reporter at the Preble House-where
Mr.. Litchman was stopping-that gentleman said
he thought the press everywhere failed to make
sufficiently emphatic the idea that the real pro-
lection of the country will come from the Knights
of Labor because it is their principle to reconcile
not antagoniZe, labor and capital. Among trades
unions which are established for the protection
of labor, the first and natural movement when
any especial union has a grievance is to strike.
The object of the Knights of Labor is to harmo-
nize difficulties satisfactorily and justly. He re-
ferred to the late troubles in East st. Louis, and
said if the Knights had not taken the stand they
did, on the side of law and order, the consequence
es of the trouble-where cowboys with more grit
than discretion enlisted as deputy snerlHS Will
law on their side and shot down innocent people
who were mere lookers-on-might have been ter
rible He thought if Gould had been as honest
and square in his dealings with Powderly as
Powderly was with Gould, there would have been
no occasion for the last dispatch of P0wderly's
which has been so severely criticised. The great
lever on which the Knights of Labor would rely
he said, was education. 1t was their intention to
take the child in mill, or other place of occupa-
ton, ana have it receive at proper times, proper
instruction so that its own intelligence in time
would be its safeguard. He said that there would
be great meeting of the order held at Boston to-
night, when a large sum would probably be col
lected for the members of the order who had been
employed on the Missouri Pacific Mr.. Litchman
says he is organizing assemblies in Maine and
New Hampshire at the rate of twenty a day, and
there are now fifty assemblies in Maine, awaiting
organization by him.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
MARGARET MATHER.


Miss Margaret Mather, who is firmly establish
ed as a popular favorite with theatre-goers, will
appear at Portland Theatre tonight in Romeo
and Juliet The announcement last week was
sufficient to cause remarkable sale of seats at
the box office last Friday morning, and those who
fail to secure them during the day today will re-
greet it if they are relying securing tickets at
the box office this evening. No doubt Miss
Mather will have excellent support She will be
greeted with a very fashionable as well as crowd
ed audience.
will be produced this week at City Hall, commenc-
ing Wednesday evening, for four nights, under
the auspices of Bosworth Post, No. 2. Collins is
too well known here to make much comment
necessary. The Post feel assured that with his
new songs, and Allen, Bibber, st. John and
others to help out, and with the support of the
ladies of the Relief Corps, they will meet with the
same success they always have whenever they
have called upon generous public to help fill
their charity fund, particularly when they can
give an entertainment that is well worth more
than the price of admission. The Post have been
hard at work on the play, and with Collins agent,
Mr.. Tellero, to assist them at their rehearsals.
they mean to make this one OF the grandest sue
ceSses since the Drummer Boy days. AS will be
seen by the advertisement, reserved seats are
now on sale at StocKbridge's.
ALVIN JosLIN.
Charles L. Davis calvin Joslin'' troupe played
at City Hall Saturday night, and had a large aud
fence. Their play has little plot. 1t is hardly
anything more than series of improbable adven-
lures, and contains good deal of the tragic or
der for a comedy, but the way in which it was
presented, the mechanical effects, the fun made
by Davis and the splendid music of the large Or
chestra pleased everybody, and there was much
applause. The dressing of the troupe was also
fine.
NOTES.
The New York World saws of Lizzie Evans, who
will appear at Portland Theatre Fast day in
Fogg's Ferry and Culprit Fay, that "Miss Evans
is thoroughly natural in her ways and methods,
and do not wonder that she should have become
at once a favorite in the various cities in which
she has appeared"
Mr.. p j. McCallum of this city has engaged
again with Corbett's Shaughraun Company for a
trip to ireland and England. The company will
leave this country about the first of June, and
will go over the same ground as last year, Mr..
McCalum Of course playing the part OF Conn. The

TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.
Address by Rev. Q. n. shinn at the
Second Parish Church.


The temperance meeting in the yestry of the
Second Parish Church last evening. under the
auspices of the Law and Order League and the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union was
largely attended The services were conducted
by the Rev. William Carruthers of Fairhayen,
Mass. who had exchanged pulpits with Rev. Mr..
Daniels. After the opening exercises, Mr.. Car
ruthers in a few pleasant words introduced the
Rev. O. II. Shinn of Deerng, who delivered an
address ON the different phases of temperance
work.
Mr.. Shnn said that, at the close OF the rebel
lion. through which he served in the ranks of the
Union army, he had enlistad for life in the war
apaint intemperance. He said that there have
been four great epochs in the temperance cause.
First came the desire for total abstinence. Next
was the WashiRgtonian movement, movement
of reform among those enslayed by the drink
habit With this came the organization neces-
sary to secure prohibitory legislation. The third
great epoch was the women's crusade. Starting
in Southern Ohio, movement among the women
against the grog shops swept over the country
and the Womans Christian Temperance Union
became the power for good that it now is. But
the women found that large part of their work
was not reformatory but formative. With them
in great measure rests the training of the chill
dren who are to become the men and women ofthe
next generation. A great step in this educational
epoch has been made in the Introduction of sci
entifc temperance instruction in the schools.
We are now at the beginning of the fourth
epoch and the women's work Will take an I'M
portant share in it. This fourth epoch will be
the securing of national prohibition. and this
will be done by a Congress composed OF men
who as boys owed their temperance education in
great measure to the efforts of women. Mr.. Shlnn
said that his hearers knew the capital OF the
nation to be at present grog shop and that the
Senate of the United States had been at times
obliged to adjourn the sessions in order to pre-
serve its dignity, owing to the number. OF men,
bers under the influence of Intoxicating liquor.
The second part of the address was devoted
chiefyto the portrayal Of number Of instances Of
the reformation of drunkards which had come
under the speakers's own observation. Before
concluding Mr.. Shnn said that he believed in
voting for temperance and should do so every
time. There are three principles enter.
ing into the question now: high license, low
license, and no license. The speaker said that to
vote for no license would be the quickest way OF
taking temperance out of politics.
Miss Jackson of this city spoke briefly. repre-
sentng the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and the meeting was dismissed with the
benediction by Rev. Mr.. Shlnn.-
