Tackled a Policeman.

Police Officer Norton, while standing near
the City Building last night, was accosted by
a beggar, who asked for a few cents with
which to get lodging. Mr.. Norton was in
citizens clothing. and the tramp probably
did not know that he had spoken to an off,
Ger. Norton told the man that he would take
him where he could get something to eat, and
started for the police station. While leading
his man along the officer noticed that the fell
low cast longing glances towards the watch
chain hanging from his pocket. So when
the man grabbed for that watch he didn't get
it, He succeeded in breaking the chain in
three pieces and making it possible to call

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
ON THE FRONTIER.

This popular melo-drama, which has been
seen In Portland at former season, was
produced at Portland Theatre to a much
as Bluefower succeeded in arousing the in
terest and sympathy of the audience by her
original and excellent acting. Shearepresent-
ed Blueflower as the simple child of the
forest, such as most people have painted in
their imagination. The effect was heighten-
ed by her costume, which was both pictur-
esque and correct. Mr.. Hardie as Jack Os-
borne, had part for which he is eminently fit
ted by reason of his handsome physique and
strong voice. He gave dashing perform
ance of the brave and tender-hearted scout,
and at the climax of the third act was greet
ed by round after round of applause. The
support was good, and the settings pleasing
and picturesque. The play abounds with
plenty OF comedy, songs and dances, which
were redemanded several times.

relieved by delicate touches of the most ex-

is an assured fact.

The Indian Association.

The branches of the Woman's National
Association have established 81 mission sta
lions among different tribes, and the Maine
branch is most eager to begin the twenty
second. In accordance with their plan of
work they must choose point where MOTH
ing has been done, and apply to the govern
ment for grant of land for mission pur-
poses, which may be anywhere from 40 to 100
acres. Having secured title to the land
they will build small frame mission house,
which should cost about $500. With the
funds on hand they hope to set teacher at
work in some temporary building very soon.
Points among the Shawnees of the Indian
Territory have been mentioned, and among
one or two other tribes. The matter of loca.
ton has been referred to a committee of

What is Called Pneumonia.

One of the extraordinary features of
the present epidemic of iufluenza is the
large number of persons who, after q
few days IN the house, reappear with

pathological condition that can be ex-
actIy recognized by physical signs, and
as patient with weil-develOped case

fortnight, these rapid Tecoyeries have
been rather surprising.
A very interesting clinical lecture
upon the influenza, delivered by DIR. Da
Costa at the Pennsvlvanis Hasplta; and
reported in the Medical Netrs, throws
some light upon this subject. He
speaks OF the main compile alton of the
catarrhal fever as what IS called pueu-
monia." There have been, no doubt
an unusual number of cases. and fatal
cases, of actua! Inflammation of the

applied, as DR.. Da Costa points out.

OF the lung, especially on the left side.

sician does not detect the sounds indi>
catiVe OF pneumonia. and as he attack

is called pneumonia" disappears.
This explains why so many persons
think they have pneumonia and vet re-
cover with rspidity that would be
Impossible If they had. II is not incon-
celvahle that there are practitioners
who encourage this belief and so gam
credit for miraculous cures. When

The state Stealing Business.

The report OF the Committee of the
West Virginia Legislature which has
been investigating the SCauds commit
ted in the West Virginia Guoernatorial
election is unusually strong for docu-
ment of that kind. Election frauds,
even when they are open, hagrant and
generally known, are very difficult 10
prove. Testimony of unreliable and
untIust worthy persons, who have quar-
re!ed with their former partners IN
crime, has often to be taken. The evi-
dence OF the West Virginia frauds,
however, is conclusive, and cannot be
d.sproved. They were so glaring that
they could not he concealed, and al
