MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PORTLAND THEATRE,


The intensely interesting moral drama,
"Ten Nights In Bar Room" now on the
boards at Portland Theatre. attracts large
audiences. The celebrated play possesses
peculiar interest to Portlanders, in that the
author, Mr. w. W. Pratt, was favorite
actor in this city thirty.odd years ago at the
Union Street Theatre. Besides possessing
great interest in the home-like. everyday
experience Of the New England village of
the past, it conveys sound moral lesson
that a score of the most eloquent temperance
lectures could not equal. The company play
the drama in good style.
PAVILION THEATRE.
Large numbers are taking advantage of
these moonlight evenings to visit the islands,
and the Pavilion Theatre seems to be the
objective point of many. The play this
week, American Born" is delighting the
audiences, and should be seen by all lovers
of comedy drama.

Of George Knights, now In the State prison

Commissioner of Labor Matthews has re-
ceived returns from nearly all the circulars
sent throughout the state to obtain informa-
ton concerning abandoned farms, and from
them learned that In the best farming dis
tricts, notably Ar0ostook county, almost
none of these farms are returned and most
of them occur in old or settled sections
These farms average three to four to a town,
and amount to about 1900 in the state. The
town Of Andover gives the largest return so
far, so abandoned farms.

Leg Broken.

Mr.. Spencer G. Cryer, the contrac-
tor, was standing upon the joists of
the portico at the new residence of
Mr.. P. S. Rule, Tuesday afternoon,
giving directions to his hands about
the work, when his foot slipped down
between the joists, he lost his balance
and fell over backwards to the
ground, about two feet below. In the
fall his right leg was caught between
two of the joists, and the wrench pro-
duced a compound fracture Of the
bone between the knee and ankle.
He was taken to his home on the cor
ner Of Campbell and Logan streets,
where DR.. E. E. Hume reduced the
fracture and he is resting as easy as
possible, but will hardly be out again
this winter. Mr.. Cryer has been a
sufferer for some time with rheuma-
tism in the same limb, and this trou-
BILE probably caused him to lose his
footing upon the joists and fall over.

age, and during the war he was a

Cavalry. His funeral took place
Wednesday afternoon from his late

Death of Mrs. Chinn.

Mrs. Lizzie Hunt Chinn, wife of
Frank Chinn, ESQ.,, died at her home in
South Frankfort Tuesday, about one
o'clock, after protracted illness
from heart disease. She was a most
excellent Christian lady, greatly
beloved by large circle of friends
and relatives, and will be a great loss
to her family, her Church and the CON-
munity. Her long illness was borne
with christian fortitude and she con-
templated her approaching death
with the utmost calmness, express
ing herself as perfectly resigned to
the Masters will, and at last gently
and sweetly fell asleep in the arms Of
the Savior. She was the Oldest
daughter of the late Major Hunt, of
Greenville, Mississippi, and her dy-
ing hours were soothed by the tender
care of her aged mother, who was
summoned to her bedside from her
home in the South several weeks ago.
1t is singular fact that her death
occurred upon the fifteenth anniver-
sary of her marriage and at about the
same hour Of the day at which the
wedding ceremony was performed.
She leaves a husband and four little
daughters to mourn her death, who
have the warmest sympathy of the
entire community in their great
affection. The funeral took place
Thursday from the family residence
and the large attendance at the
same attested the high estimation
in which she was held by the COM
munity at large.
