MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FANNY DAVENPORT

FANNY DAVENPORT.
The Hartford Courant, In reviewing "Fe-
DORA" says:
"a large and representative audience
| greeted Fanny Davenport last evening and
| throughout the five acts was controlled and
| swayed by her powerful impersonation of
this passionate. wilful, loving. Roman maid
en-. After witnessing this tragedy one feels
that the ordinary rules of dramatic criticism
are as inapplicable to the acting of the prin-
clpals as they would be to some convulsion
OF nature, only a great artist could present
approval OF such an audience as that OF last
evening establishes her prominence. Not to
see her as Fedora is to miss the greatest
treat which the American stage has to offer.
The fine acting of tie principals was aided
by the excellent stage settings and elaborate
costumes. Miss Davenport was called be-
fore the curtain after every act"
The tickets for Fedora" will be on sale at
Portland Theatre today. She will appear
Friday and Saturday.

ENGLAND AND HER NE,cnsoRs.
Or. Dalton's First SATURDAY. Lecture,


Rev. DR.. Dalton delivered the first of his
eleventh course of historical lectures in
Baxter Hall, Saturday afternoon, 70 large
and Intelligent audience. The subject was
England and Her Neighbors in the Six
teenth Century" The lecturer took up the
sketch OF England's history where he left it
In previous lecture, at the time of Shakes
peare's death. He divided the century into
two parts. In the first half England was
passing through the throes OF the great
changes in church and state inaugurated by
Henry VIII, and carried out by his agents,
Cromwell and Cranmer He was succeeded
by Edward vi. in brief reign, who, In a
feeble way, carried out his fathers work
Mary, Bloody Mary. came next, and undid it
ALL giving the English people a taste of old
times that made them sigh for a return Of
King Henry's reform policy. Then came
Elizabeth, a Tudor by birth and instincts,
but forced by circumstances If she would
preserve her throne and life to range herself
on the side of the reform party and to carry
on what her father began. France, at this
time. was in the fullness of its power, al
though the long wars of Francis L then in
progress, eventually weakened her and
paved the way for the magnificent supreme
cy of the empire Of Charles ", embracing
Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, parts of
Italy and the Netherlands. In the second
half OF the century we have England great
nation, thanks to the genius of Elizabeth
and her ministers; France a great nation,
although weakened by inward discussions,
and torn up by the Huguenots on one side
and the crafty Catherine de Medic on the
other. We have the spectacle of Charles V.
voluntarily giving up his power to his BROTH
er and his son Philip H., who, even more
than his father, aims at universal sovereign
ty and like him fails miserably. The strug-
gle In France continues, until at length the
king is assassinated, and a new order of
things comes in with Henry ". He comes
too late, however, to place his country at the
head, and the century ends with the star of
England still in the ascendant. The great
events of the century go in pairs. There
are two great forces struggling for the mas
terry. representing the old idea and the new,
two nations are seen at the head of affairs.
In France there are two rival parties
throughout, in England two rival queens,
Elizabeth and Mary of Scots, and at the
close OF the century there are two great ma
val battles, that of Lepanto in which the
Turks are defeated by the Spanish fleet, and
that on the Downs, when the great Spanish
armada is driven to destruction by the COM
bination of storms and English ships.

The MackeraI Fleet.

The shore feet had a few fine days the
past week, but after cruising along the coas,
were unable to raise any mackerel, and the
indications are that very little more fishing
will be done this season. About 10 SAL
landed I'll barrels in fares of from 10 to liz
barrels each, and in most cases the vessels
hauled up. There are still to arrive about
80 sails, and these will probably not have
more than 1000 barrels all told. The catch
of mackerel to date amounts to 1879 bar.
rels against 14,474 barrels for the same thine
last year. In 1883 the catch was 39.O49 bar

AN OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK.
A Chinaman sandbagged In His
Shop.

Saturday night about II o'clock two men
sauntered into the Chinese laundry on
Green street occupied by Sam Ling Lung.
One of them presented the Chinaman in at
tendance a laundry check. The Chinaman,
who is a recent conner from the Flowery
Kingdom, and who cannot speak word of
English, took the check and began a search
for the laundry, whose number correspondent
to that on the check. While his back was
turned one of the strangers dealt him a tre-
mendous blow with sandbag, knocking
him down behind the counter. The blow,
which had doubtless been aimed at the Chi
naman's head, missed his Uranium and
struck him on the shoulder. Although
knocked down he set up cry and the ras-
calls. one of whom had been lingering near
the door to keep watch, ran, leaving the
sandbag. an ugly looking affair, behind them.
If the China had been here long enough
to acquire some English, and to have had
some knowledge of the laws, he would
doubtless have Immediately informed the po-
lice. He waited, however. until others Of
his race came in and told them. They sought
the police and through them the Chinaman
was so taken by surprise he was unable to
give description of his assailants. Their
motive was evidently robbery. as many pee
pie get their laundry and pay for it Satur-
day night.
DeerIng People Naturally Objected.
The hurry up" wagon hurried out to
Deering last night with Deputy Marshal
Merrill and three officers aboard at the re-
quest of the citizens there, who objected to
the free fight in progress on the circus
grounds, and telephoned for aid. The fight
was over when the big grey horse galloped
up with the officers and the several hundred
spectators had dispersed. Michael Haggerty
was seen vending his way towards town
with his countenance bruised and battered,
and was given ride. Then he was locked
up on suspicion of being one of the pugilists.
Assaulted In a Hotel.
F. w. Carly, James Villa ms and Frank
Brown, who have recently arrived in the
city. engaged room at the Canadian
House. Carly says that last night, in the
Office Of the hotel, some men got into fight,
during which the three strangers were as
saulted before they could reach the street.
The assault was renewed on the street, but
policeman came along and escorted them
to better quarters.
The Portland daily press., 1890-11-10
Jndorsements disputed.

The rumors of forgeries that prevailed
about town Saturday seem, according to the
Sunday papers, to have emanated from the
fact that certain notes bearing the name Of
Capt VIM. Sinnett of Deering as indorser
were protested last August. Capt Sinnett
asserted that he did not endorse the notes
and that he would not pay them. The hold
ers of the notes, as we'll as the holders Of
others not yet due, declare their belief that
the Endorsements are genuine. Messrs
Frank and Larrabee have instituted suits in
their behalf for the payment of the notes
Capt. Sinnett has retained Judge Symonds
and Col. Cobb. The sum total of the notes. IL
is said, will foot up several thousand dollars

MR. A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir:
My son, twelve years Of age, has been suffering
from shock to his nervous system for about
three years. His nerves were entirely shattered
so that we could not keep him in school for any
length OF time. Neither doctors nor medicines
did him any good. but he grew steadily worse, and
finally had species Of st. Vitus dance At last
we gave up every medicine, and began giving him
Murdock's Food. He soon began to improve.
After taking two large bottles he gained strength
enough to enter the Boys Latin School. Greatly
to our surprise aud that OF his former teachers he
has managed TO attend that school constantly
without single absence for the last two months.
He shows no sign of breaking down again, and is
on the road to complete recovery. HIS improve
ment is due entirely to Murdock's Food, and we
propose to continue its use till he is the strongest
member Of the family.
Yours very truly,
CT. ORDWAY,
