JED PRouTY.

-
Years ago there lived in Bncksport, Maine,
strange and eccentric old man by the name
OF Jed Prouty. He was the landlord of the
only hotel in the place and soon became as
famous among travellers through that region
as he was with the natives for his peculiari-
ties. He was the soul of honor and kindness,
and:respected the ladies and loved little chill
dren extravagantly. His clerk at that time
was Richard Golden, then boy. Dick was
mischievous young rascal, and one Of his
pleasures was to initiate the personal strange
ness of old Prouty. In time Dick became
almost as we'll known for his limitations as
was the old manifor his originality. When
Prouty died Dick went on the stage, and all
made as comic opera artist. Yet he felt
something else in him, and was never quite
satisfied with his line of stage work. When
ever he would get to thinking of 1t a picture
of the old man would come up in his mind,
and he would sigh for an opportunity to put
a play on with Prouty for the central figure.
Finally he and William Gill, the playwright,
got together and wrote comedy and called
1t "Old Jed Prouty." No one thought that
Golden would ever make hit in character.
role, but he has, and an unprecedented one
at that. The piece itself is meritorious and
we'll constructed, and as natural as life. 1t
comes to the Portland Theatre next Wednes-
nesday and Thursday.

THE VENETIAN CARNIVAL.
Additional Features Of interest TO-
day.


Our friend the tourist visiting the Vene-
tian Carnival at City Hall will look In vain
for one building mentioned in the PRESS.
The Pitt palace through carelessness, or
something else was located in Venice, in.
stead of Florence where it has stood for
many years. All of the other features men
toned and many others, however, are there
and were seen to still greater advantage last
evening when the throng of people ON the
square was much denser than on the pre-
vious evening The fower-girls, peasant
maids, harlequins and other personages of
the first evening were there and there were
other grotesque and and fanciful figures seen
for the first time. The arcades attracted
more attention than on Thursday and the
articles on sale were bx9pght out in greater
prominence. Aprons. of scarcely antique
pattern, table-scarfs, articles of hammered
brass. and oxidized ware, genuine Italian
stilettos intended for the peaceful pursuits
of literature, dolls and dolls. aud hundreds
of other things are at call and ready at hand.
The grand canal attracted good deal of at
tention last evening and our tourist dlscoy-
cred that Venice is really the city of the
Doges, although he doesn't spell it that way.
For the picturesque gondola is made to serve
as freight boat, conveying the prizes of the
prosaic grabbing" to purchasers. The adj
vertised list at the post office is growing
and unless many of our citizens go to Venice
today or this evening there will be full
sack sent to the dead letter office. The
dance of the children, which was a feature
of the entertainment last evening and which
will be repeated today IS itself we'll worth a
journey to Venice TO see. Sixteen small
people. eight boys and eight girls go through
simple but very pleasant figure to light
and catchy tune, and they ring a bright
round to music composed expressly for the
occasion by Mr.. Kotzschmar
The hall is open and the entertainment in
progress this afternoon and evening.
The dance of the children in costume will
be given both in the afternoon and evening
Admission for children has been reduced
from 10 to 10 cents.

INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP co.
VIII Make Radical Change Next
Season.

The International Steamship Company
have in contemplation a very radical chahge
in the running of their steamers next sum-
mer. Three steamers will be put on the
route between Boston and st. John, giving
service of five trips week. On two trips
week only will the steamers touch at Port
land, making the other three direct between
Eastport and Boston. By the new arrange
ment trips will be made from Boston to Dig
by and Annapolis via Eastport, thus giving
Nova Scotia travel the benefit OF their best
steamers. 1t is the intention of the compa-
ny to make quick trips between st. John,
Eastport and Boston. Leave st. John say
at a. M, Eastport at II M, and go from the
latter place direct to Boston. arriving there
early in the morning. The details OF the
new arrangement have not yet been made
public, but the intention is to give addi-
tional steamboat service and quicker trans
portations to the travelling public on their

A Proposed Elevator and Mr.. Furber,

An Associated Press dispatch from Boston
says:
THE report that Portland will be the out
let tor business of the Canadian Paci6c and
that an immense elevator having a capacity
OF 100000 bushels, was to be erected by
Manager Furber on the Boston and Maine
wharf. Mr.. Van Horn of the Canadian Paci-
nc having distinctly said so, was shown to
Manager Furber. There is no foundation
10 fact for this story said that gentleman.
1t is all untrue and was all taken out of a
smart journalists head. l know nothing
OF such plans, and don't believe Mr. Van
Horn or myself have been in Portland look
ing over ground for the purpose as stated"
The PRESS is not accustomed to manufac-
ture stories 10 impose upon the public. Its
statement in regard to the Canadians Paci-
fc's making Portland a winter port and the
buildings of an elevator on the Boston and
Names wharf was made on the authority of
a prominent gentleman who is we'll known
In railroad and steamship circles. 1t is FAIR
ly possible that he may have been misinform-
ed, though the source Of his information
renders that highly improbable. We do not
propose to quarrel with Mr.. Furber, but we
take occasion to suggest that his statement
that the PRESS manufactured its story out
OF whole cloth was untrue and uncalled for.
