a ROMANTIC CAREER.
How Riverside, CAL. Cots Its Opera
House.

A little more than thirty years ago, a young
man lived In this city, working at his trade
in a small shop on Portland street, and oc-
cupying, with his young wife, few rooms
in the same building. He was without
capital, but he had intelligence, push aud
health. About the time Of the great fire he
determined to try the western country and
see If he couldn't better his condition. Here
he saw no chance for getting ahead. He
went first to Milwaukee, and there he re-
NAMED some time, engaging in several pur-
suits and amassing little money. Then he
went to Chicago and added by thrift and
sagacity to his little capital. But he re-
manned only short time in the Windy City.
Reports came in Of the promising future OF
Minneapolis, little town in Minnesota that
boosted but 5000 inhabitants. After investi-
cation the young man decided to go there.
He went into the dry goods business, and.
with the rapid growth of the place his bust
ness increased in proportionate ratio. He
invested largely in land which he sold later
for very large advances on the original cost.
With his partner he went into the Touring
business, and they own three large flour
mills in that city.
The gentleman whose career we have thus
briefly sketched is the Hon. G. M. Loring of
Minneapolis. His wife was Miss Crosman,
sister of Mr.. Crosman. senior partner of
the old drug-frm of Crosman & Poor, located
in the Fox block, on Middle street, before the
fire. Mr.. Loring has handsome winter
residence at Riverside, San Bernardino
County, Cal. The people of that town
wanted an opera house-just as some other
people in another city we know of have
wanted one. What did Mr.. Loring do? The
Riverside Phoenix of January 18th has been
sent to us. Two pages are taken up with a
description of the magnificent opera house
just completed there, and an account of the
brilliant opening. 1t cost $4,000 and was
the gift of Mr.. Loring, and is named for
him. Mr. Loring made very pertinent
speech when called for and referred to the
push and energy of the Riverside people
that entitled them to fine place of enter
tainment. The opera of "Iolanthe" was
then given in excellent shape. The house is
built in the most substantial manner and is
fre-pr0of

Out of His Element

A very smart young man went through to
Augusta yesterday afternoon on the o'clock
train. He was so intoxicated he couldn't
tell his name but could tell just how many
drinks he had taken and acted as though he

to be Boston wharf rat and took consider

The New Fire Alarm Boxes.

A number of new fire boxes
are being put up to replace the old ones. The
numbers are not changed in any case. This
work is done by the Maine Auxiliary Fire
Alarm Company, in the vicinity Of build
ings equipped with their apparatus. The
company cannot connect their private push
buttons with the old boxes and so are obliged
to put In new ones. which have handsome
and improved machinery. Eventually it is
expected that all of the boxes in the city
will be replaced by the new ones. City Flee
trician Cummings has at the central office
three of the new boxes connected with the
batteries in such manner that the intri-
cate working of them can be readily under
stood.

OLD BILLS OF THE PLAY.
Reminders of Actors who Walked
the Boards Years Ago.

Yesterday there were several old play
bills placed ON the writer's desk that re-
called the days when the cast of a play in.
cluded the names of actors who would have
been stars in the present decade; days when
the play-goer sat on hard benches, gazed up
on dusty scenes that had done duty for
years in every branch of the drama, and cos
tunes that had, in many cases, passed from
father to son, and yet saw acting that COM
panies of this year of grace. 1890, couldn't
approach, even with all the additional assist
ance of stage carpenter, scene painter and
costumer.
The first bill celebrates the opening night
of the Portland Varieties. This name is
but one of the many DISCUSSES our old friend
Deering Hall has assumed from time to
time. j. Martin was the lessee and mana
ger. He succeeded the brilliant actor. Geo.
Pauncefort in this position. A. w. Fenno
was stage manager, and Carlo Patti, brother
of the famous Adelina, musical director.
This was the company:
VIM: L; Burton, Dan Se'chell.
A. w. FennO, r. G. France
Brown, II. Otto
Enle Germon, Miss N. Germon,
Henrietta Lang, Fannie France,
Mrs. Wrdy.
Burton was the unrivaled comedian-who
was playing star engagement; Dan Setch-
ell-who was afterwards lost at sea, and
whose Binney in the American Cousin"
gave him more than Boston local fame
was just down from a brilliant engagement
at the Boston Theatre; Effe Germon was af-
forwards one of the bright lights of the old
WallaaH,c frhaotra
were one of the oldest and best theatrical
families on the stage at the time; Mrs. Wray
was an admirable old lady, and Henrietta
Lang delightful danseuse of the school
that wore skirts reaching below the knee
and didn't consider that exposure of per
son made up for lack of dignity and grace
On this occasion there were: three pieces ::
"Blue Devils" married Rake" and
Wandering Minstrel" In the first, Bur-
ton was Megrim; Setchell, James; France.
Denis: Otto, the bailiff. and Efie Germon,
Annette. In the second piece neither Bur
ton nor Setchell appeared, but Efie Germon
was fascinating as Count Fitz Herbert and
Mrs. Trictrac, and Henrietta Lang a de-
lightful Susan Twist. In the last farce Bur
ton, as Jean Baggs. kept the house on the
broad grin, while Effie Germon as Herbert
Carol sang song. Between the first and
second plays Henrietta Lang executed a
grand medley dance, and the orchestra, I'M
der the direction of Signor Patti, grand
overture. The prices of tickets were 80
cents for the parquette and % for the family
circle. The house was crowded with the
beauty and fashion of the day.
On the occasion of Mr.. Burton's benefit a
great bill was offered-"Dombey & Son"
and "Poor PilIicoddy." In the former Bur
ton appeared in his world-famous imperson-
alton of Captain Cutie, and Setchell as
Toots. This was the full cast:

j. Martin, who played Major Bagstock
and Joe Bunsby. was Canadian by birth,
who FIRST appeared at the New York Bowery
Theatre in 1S4S. He was a capital represen-
tative of the fiery East Indian, who was so
''dev'lish sly" and equally as good as the
old.sailor prophet Bunsby. Holland, who
took Carker's pat, was a relative of
George Holland, so long with Wallack, and
an English importation, from a most careful
and correct school of acting. Mrs. Wood
ward was delightful Edith, while Effie
Germon was the alert, crisp Susan Npper to
the life. In the farce of "Pilllcoddy," Bur-
ton took the title role, and Martin that of
Capt OScuttle. Miss Lang danced favor
lite dan ,e between the plays.
Another bill shows that the favorite &C.
tress Sallie ST. Clair played an engagement,
and on July 10th, 1859, she appeared as Bian-
ca in DR.. Millman's tragedy of "The Italian
Wife," j. G. Hanly was then stage mana
in the character of Fazio. But the classic
tragedy, with its five actors, was not enough
for the audiences of 80 years ago. and the
evening ended with the nautical drama of
s'Ben, the Boatswain." Seats were secured
at Mr. Paine's music store, and reward of
$40 was offered for the apprehension and
conviction of any person defacing the bills
of the theatre.
