BILE to sell first-eIass goods.
Have you ever tried the Ara.
bian Coffee? We have sold it now
ever a year, aud it suits everyone
who tries it. Most brands Of COf.
fee suit for a while only, and
then the consumer thinks it not
as good as it has been; but the
Arabian always suits.
Our stock Of the other grades

want a very fancy MandheliDg
Java we have it; also Mocha,

All Coffee ground to order.

PORTLAND, Nov. 20, 1889.
H<HE latest novelty
Il among the new
worsted things is
the "Mojeska" Hat for la
dies and misses. A veri-
table hat, with low crown
and rolling brim; thick,
warm and heavy, knitted
from best quality German
town yarn in a variety of
colors. $2.25.
Only a few left of the
Jerseys we are closing out.
Our whole stock was put
in the sacrifice and the
prices were cut in half.
This week will see the last
of them. We advise COM
ing at once.
Fifty dozen Aprons were
opened here yesterday, at
25c., 36c. and soc. A bit
more fanciful in style, a
little more ornate as to
finish,-they are an i'm
provement over what we
have had before at these
prices.
You who have small
boys and girls to buy
Cloaks for, should devote
the first available moment
to an inspection of our Of
ferings in that line. 1t is
a choice collection of out
of-the-common little gar
ments, rather different
from those you will see at
other stores, and they will
be likely to convince you
that there is nothing to be
gained in buying the ma
terials and making them
up at home.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
ESMERALDA.


About as disguised an audience was
gathered in Portland Theatre last night as IL
has ever held. Advance notices-how they
were obtained is mystery, unless they BE-
longed TO some other company OF the same
name, or were cooked to order"-had
heralded the Gaety Burlesque Company as
possessing great attractions, and SO Portland
theatre-goers turned out in goodly numbers
TO see "Esmeralda," but the curtain had
hardly more than risen before they wished
they hadn't. Why there isn't variety show
travelling, recruited from the minor theatres
of the east side of New York that closes its
performances with a burlesque, and shows
only in hamlets and plantations. but that
would have made a better appearance than
the transformers who wearied ones patience
last night. The audience was SO surprised
to see such a troupe in Portland Theatre
that they forgot to guy, and hadn't the heart
to laugh. They sat in open-mouthed aston
ishment until the end of the first act. and
then stole away the saddest lot seen for
many day. We won't say who was in the
cast, or who were the managers. We feel
for them too badly.
NOT SUCH FOOL AS HE LOOKS.

sal by the amateurs who will amuse large
