MUSIC AND DRAMA.
HELD by THE ENEMY.

HELD III IIE ENEM1.
William Glflette's highly successful Amer
lean play, "Held by the Enemy" will be pre-
scented at Portland Theatre for two nights,
commencing Friday evening, with the same
cast, scenery and effects seen during its run
of $50 nights at the Madison Square Theatre,
New York; 100 nights at the Boston Theatre,
Boston, and 70 nights at the Baldwin Thea
tire, San Francisco. The play is love story,
but is said to be thrilling in the incidents
represented, which take their color and inter-
est from the surroundings of war. The Saie
OF seats begins at the box Office Wednesday.

These clever comedians drew an audience
last evening which tested the capacity of the

was shown early, and at the hour of perform
ance very little Of that was to be had. The
knock-about, boisterous fun of Our Irish
Visitors kept the house in continuous laugh
ter. While the two principals carry the most
of the performance. excellent work was done
by Mr.. G. w. Young as Sammy Upper,
whose topical song in the third act contained
new and good hits; by Mr.. James Reilly in
German dialect songs, and by Miss Day, who
has sweet voice and who showed some very
graceful dancing.

eggs or butter are used for these. The cakes
bake quickly to a rich deep brown, and are
extremely tender and light.
A very delicious, sweet pancake is made
by taking one pint of sweet milk, four eggs,
two tablespoonfuls Of powdered sugar. two
tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one or
spoonful Of Royal Baking Powder, and Hour
enough to make moderately thin batter.
Beat the eggs, whites and yokes separately,
until well frothed, stir the butter, sugar, and
one cupful of flour, into which the baking
powder has been mixed, into the yolEs, then
add the milk. If needed, add more flour.
Bake in small cakes, butter each one as 1t
comes from the fire, place four in pile,
with very thin layers Of any kind Of sweet
jelly between, and powdered sugar over the
top. They should be baked very thin and
four served to each person.

ITO make absolutely sure the Republican

Texas to Minnesota, as well as from the de-

Lewiston Journal, Rep.l
Mr.. Blaine now declares that he is not a
candidate for the Presidency and that his
name will not be presented to the conyen-
ton. This, however, does. not disguaiify
the convention from nominating him, ii after
a thorough canvass of public opinion, that
would seem essential to Republican success;
but it does spike the guns of the opposition
press which has been differently affirming
that Mr.. Blaine's representatives were or
ganizing to effect public sentiment or to
affect it, and undertaking artificially TO
evoke Blaine boom. They have done
nothing of this kind the Blaine sentiment
has come from the ground floor, and it is by
no means certain that Mr.. Blaine's refusal
to have his name favorably presented to the
convention, will change the public mind re-
garding his commanding ability, fitness and
strength as Presidential candidate.

ocean insurance Company.

AT meeting of the directors of the Ocean
Insurance Company, held yesterday after
noon, it was voted to reduce the capital
stock 20 per cent, making the par value so,
and the capital $4,000, instead of $4,000
1t was the general wish of the stockhold-
ers that the company should go on in bust
ness, and it will no doubt do so. This COM
pany has high reputation, having been in
business for over half century, and met all
its losses with promptness. 1t is an old
Portland institution, and we wish it the
DR. nsneritv that it SO richly deserves.

II believe Mr.. Blaine Is sincere in his ex-
preston of determination not to be again a
candidate. But will his declination be ac-
cepted as final and irrevocable? BY many be
is regarded as the strongest candidate the
party can nominate. No man can command
the vote of the Irish American and labor ele-
ment in New York as well as Mr.. Blaine, and
the Empire State win be the great fighting
ground of the coming battle. The last two
elections in that State demonstrated beyond
peradventure that without the vote of a con-
licans cannot carry that State. With either
Sheridan, Sherman, Hawley or Gresham as
a candidate / consider victory probable
with Mr. Blaine as candidate | consider

AUGUSTA, D.sl3-Ine kenneDec jour-
nal will say tomorrow: The decination of
Mr. Blaine published in the Geographic col
umns yesterday, has been received with keen
disappointment by the vast majority of the
Republicans of the Nation. The very streng
indications of his nomination from all Sec
lions of the Union, and the universally aus
picious prospects of his triumphant election
in November, would seem to render his de-
cision unjustifable. But he is now four thou
sand miles away, amid a public opinion
wholly foreign to his own country, where he
cannot fully appreciate the political situation,
nor feel the warm pulse Of the Republican
masses which responds with such remarka-
ble emphasis to his name and words. We
know not all the reasons which have. caused
him to send his declination to the National
Committee. and are authorized in no sense to
action. We know well that he has strong
personal reasons for not wishing to accept
the Republican candidacy, and for "a avoiding pdIg
dency would impose on him. But the needs
Of tie country and the demands OF the great great
fame are SO closely identified, should, and
must override all personal considerations.
