sTocKRRIpaE COMPLIMENTARY.

sToCKBRIDGE COMPLIMENTARY.
Mr.. Ira G. Stockbridge had large au-
dience present at his complimentary enter
tainment at City Hall last evening. The
great feature of the entertainment was
Rellar, the great magician, His stage set
tlngs were particularly gorgeous. and his
feats fairly rivalled, if, in some respects they
did not surpass other celebrated artists in
the same line. His legerdemain, second sight,
spiritual and black art feats and surprises
were mostly cleverly executed. His remark
able automaton Psyche puzzled and delighted
everyone, and his Mexican wonder "Vanola"
was equally as much of a surprise. Mr..
kellar was ably supported by Miss Eva
Kell ar, and the great London comique, Geo.
ID. Melville, besides those aides whose faces
are never seen before the curtain but whose
work is particularly valuable.
Chambers orchestra played the overture
that preceded the performance most delight
fully and the Harvard Quartette rendered
several selections between the first and
second parts Of Kellar's performance and at
the close, with great taste and expression.
STRUCK GAS.
The laughable farce-comedy "Struck Gas"
was brought out at Portland Theatre last
evening. The story upon which the action
OF the piece is strung deals with the early
trials and subsequent triumphs of a farmer
and his daughter, who are forced to leave
the old homestead because schemers have
fore; closed mortgage upon it. They go to
New York in company with minstrel,
where, after keeping laundry, they return
far 70 &hnk
which the heroine owns natural gas has been
discovered, and their fortune is made. Mr..
Tannehille in ''Struck Gas" has essayed the
Introduction of a serious vein. The piece
was given smooth and even performance.
Miss Lillian Harper assumed the part of
Nan, and she made sprightly and viyacious
damsel of the stamp that is able to take care
of herself. Her singing and dancing were
very good. The remainder of the cast gave
satisfaction. The numerous songs, choruses
and specialties that were introduced were
an enjoyable feature of the performance.
The play will be repeated tonight.
AUNT SUSAN JANE.
The Abyssinian Society will give an enter.
tainment at the church this evening. in con-
nection with the ladies' sewing circle. An
apron sale Will also be held. The programme
for the entertainment will include readings
and music by Mrs. Nettie Smith, Lizzie
Brown, Misses Abbie Morgan. Carrie Smith,
Lucy Ball, Bertha Berry, little Josie Brown,
Ed Foley, u. III. sviIsun and utn5a rnmern

NOTES.
Mr. Montgomery, of Boston, who has been
drilling the Pirates of Penzance company
for the past week, has often played the part
OF the major general and will probably take
the place of Mr.. Waterhouse if he cannot ap-
pear, so the opera will be given next week
as intended.

PROBABLY MR.. DYER
TO BE Nominated For United States
District Attorney.

A Washington despatch to last evening $
Advertiser says:
One important office in Maine is as good
as settled, and as a result Mr.. Isaac w.
Dyer will soon receive the appointment of
district attorney.
In settling the matter of recommendations
in the Maine delegation some time ago the
district attorneyship fell to the lot of Senator
Frye. and the President practically agreed
to appoint to the Office whomever he might
recommend. The two candidates for the
office were Mr.. Isaac w. Dyer and Mr.. VIM.
ii. Looney. Both gentlemen had strong
support from the bar of Cumberland county,
members of the legislature and prominent
Republicans of the State.
Senator Frye, after considering the matter
for some time, has recommended Mr.. Dyer
for the Office, and his nomination will prob
ably go from the President to the Senate,
within few days, possibly today. The
Senator was friendly to both candidates, but
1t is said here that he considered himself I'M
der certain political obligations to Mr.. Dyer,
and thought the present good opportunity
to discharge them.

The purposes of the corporation are for
manufacturing zinc-lead pigment under the
patents of F. l.. Bartlett, the company
having purchased all the patents of Mr..
Bartlett. Large works will be erected in
Colorado for the purpose of smelling ores of
zinc, lead and.silver. The Portland Smelt-
ing Works have been running under these
patents for the past two years, and the de.
mand for the paint produced has been and
Is now largely in excess of the capacity of
the works. Eight patents have been
grated Mr.. Bartlett, covering the treatment
OF ores in all stages. The novelty of the
processes consists in being able to take the
ore as 1t comes from the mine and in one
continuous operation convert 1t into a
pure zinc-lead pigment suitable for all pur-
poses where white lead is now used; at the
same time all gold, silver and copper is saved
in the same operation. 1t is believed that
the process will open up a new era in the
treatment Of certain ores now called worth
less. Plans have been drawn up for the
erection Of plant in Colorado covering 81
acres OF ground and capable of turning out
two carloads of finished pigment daily. Mr..
Bartlett will leave here next week to super.
intend the erection of the works.
