The Biiou.

ia. ID F. 80
The attraction announced for the
Bijou next week is Pete Baker, Late OF
the Baker and Farren, the German
comedian, who will be seen in his latest
laughing success, Bismarck, = which
will be presented for the first four nights
and in the comedy drama "The Emf
grant, the remainder of the week. The
former play does not deal with the great
statesman by that name as would be
supposed by many. The play contains
many clever situations sprinkled with
several new songs and dances, and has
a much stronger plot than most plays Of
its kind. and is full of comlcalaties from
beginning to end. It is said that in 1.-THE
Enigrant'' the play to be presented
tinring the latter part OF the week, Mr..
Baker has vehicle that affords HIM a
splendid opportunity to show himself at
his best. In one act Of this play MIR.
Baker appears as negro wench, which
is said to be one OF the funniest ciaarac-
formations in his repertvry. and which
creates roars of laughter from all parts
Of the house. This excellent comedian
has style of his own that is inimitable,
and any who see him at the Bijou next
week will enjoy good evenings laugh.

A fire at the corner Of Ihirty-}ourtis
street and Ninth avenue last Wednesday
saight burned three dwellings to the
ground and did considerable damage to
another. The buildings were numbered
1899, 33 t}4433 and 3347 Ninth avenue souhh
They belonged to George M. McGrrgor,
and the loss was about $4,000. They
were insured for $500 each. 1t was
impossible to tell how the fire started.
All the houses except the one occupied
by Mrs. Frank Iseeklov. sister of
McGregor, were unoceupied, There
Was some mistake in turning in the
alarm, and the fire department was
called to Lake street. and Bloomington
avenue, mile distant from the fire. 1t
WAS difficult to reach hydrant in the
vicinity of the fire because of the torn
y1p streets, mains and electric lines being
put in in that vicinity. This gave the
fire big headways and the destruction Of
the whole row, extending block, was
threatened. The house OF Mr.. Mcbride,
next to the burned buildings, was
etripped clean by by ISLANDERS, the family
being absent at 9 social. 1t proved to
be unnecessary, as the fire did not touch
tksa house. Silver spoo1.s were scattered
over tie street and furniture broken by
The excited helpers.

not accomplished all that its friends had ex-
pected of it, 1t has not extinguished the
rum shops in the cities and large towns, but
it has driven them out of the small ones, and
it has diminished them in the large ones.
But the question is not whether it has done all
the good tt at was expected of it, but wheth-
er more good will result from a license
plan, which is the one which the gentlemen
who nominated Mr.. Thompson and who are
trying to elect him intend to substitute for
the present policy whenever they get the pow
er. Now whenever the advocates of change
show that change will help the cause of
temperance they will be in position to ask
the people to support their plan. They have
not done 1t yet. Indeed they have made
very little effort in that direction, doubtless
because they know such effort would prove
abortive. Denouncing prohibition has been
their main reliance, and it is simply on the
strength of the shortcomings of prohibition
without particle of proof that license will
remedy any of them, that the people of
Maine are asked to reverse the policy of
quarter OF century. Even assuming that
the gentlemen who support license are sim
cere In their assertion that they support it
because they think it will promote temper
ance-an assumption that is pretty violent
they have shown not single reason that
should appeal to an intelligent and thought
full man for the faith which they pretend to
be in them. The great mass of the voters of
Maine are of that description, and therefore.
there is every reason to believe that the pro-
gramme of the gentlemen who managed the
second Democratic convention will be sat
down upon very heavily on Monday next

The First District Contest.

Republicans all over the country--and
Democrats, too-have their eyes upon the
First District Of Maine. The contest which
is waging here is not local in its character.
1t is not simply question whether the First
District of Maine shall have in the next
Congress the gentleman who has 50 ably
represented 1t for the last twelve years. 1t
is of far more moment. Mr. Reed stands for
policy which affects not only Maine but
every state In the Union as well. Under his
magnificent leadership the right of the ma
jority to rule has been INDICATED and estab-
lished in the House of Representatives OBJ
structions which for years have hindered
and delayed the public business have been
swept away, and the majority of the people
through their representatives, have been
enabled to enact into law measures of which
they expressed approval at the ballot box.
Mr. Reed has been placed at the head of
movement to put the control of legisla-
tion in fact. where it now is in theory. name-
ly, In the hands of the majority of the peo-
pie. This Is the policy for which he stands,
and upon this policy he comes before the
people of his district for approval. 1t is not
local issue. 1t is one to which the Repub-
licans all over the country have committed
themselves through their platforms and their
papers, and it is on trial before the people.
The verdict of the First District of Maine
will be among the first, and the most impor-
tant, because here the question will be more
directly presented than anywhere else, by
reason of the fact that Mr.. Reed led off
in the movement which pushed it to the
front And this verdict will be one of ap-
proval or disapproval Of the policy of the
Republican party.
There can be no doubt that the verdict
will be of approval if the people can suf.
iciently awake to its Importance. The in
telligent masses of the First District of
Maine W i'll never deliberately give their sane.
ton to the unrepublican doctrine that a
minority, whether of the people or their re-
personalities, may by parliamentary factions
usurp the rights which belong to the major
ity. The only danger is that the issue may
be obscured SO that the people may not dis
Germ 1t clearly or apprehend its Importance.

Speaker Reed at Home.

Speaker Reeds reception at City Hall
last night was one of the most en-
thusiastic ever accorded any man in
Portland. Not only was the hall full,
1t ran over and hundreds went
home disappointed because they could not
get near enough to the Speaker to see him
and to hear and applaud his words. 1t was
a magnificent gathering of the Republicans
of Portland to pay honor to the man who
has represented them for twelve years in the
halls of Congress with the most distin-
guished ability, and who is now in the very
forefront of the leaders of the Republican
party. 1t was reception that no man
could fail to feel proud to receive, and which
the Republicans of Portland were proud to
give.
Mr.. Reeds speech was a calm and clear
review of proceedings of the present Con-
gress. He called attention to the pledges
that the Republicans had made in the presi-
Dental campaign which placed them in
power, and then showed how faithfully they
had been fulfilled by the present House of
Representatives. 1t was received with the

Misplaced Charity.

People who are interested in missionary
work will probably recall the visit of the high
caste Brahmin woman Pundita Ramabai to
this country, and the entertaining lectures
which she delivered on some of the manners
and customs of her native land. Her avowed
purpose in lecturing here was to arouse an
interest in some of the terrible abuses and
superstitions under which followers of Brah-
ma, notably the child-widows. suffered, and
to raise fund for their relief She was re-
markably successful in this last undertaking,
as mission work is near to the hearts of a
great many liberal people, and sailed away
to her home In Bombay richer by several
hundred thousand dollars than when she
came here. She established literary bureau
after her return which turned out some highly
entertaining letters descriptive of Bombay
and its surroundings, but remained sus-
piciously silent on the one topic In which
those who had given the Pundita, money
were most interested,-her reformatory
school which was to abolish the hardships of
the child-widows Recently however an out
side letter-wrter, In communication to the
Sacramento Record Union, has let in little
light on the subject. 1t seems that the Pun
dita has secured large house in a suburb of
Bombay where she is living comfortably with
her literary assistant and one chld-widow
who has teen captured after much effort, and
who is being experimental with in the hope
of achieving great results.
Meanwhile, however dilatory the Pundita
Ramabai may be in turning the institutions
OF Brahminism upside down with the aid of
money received from benevolent Americans,
the child-widows are about to receive relief
from another source. Since the establish
ment Of the religion shaved head has been
the badge OF widowhood. No matter whether
an infant In arms or an aged woman totter-
Ing on the verge of the grave, if she had been
pledged in marriage and her husband" had
died, her head was shaved and she was
uoomed to perpetual widowhood. The agita-
''on winch the missionaries have stirred up
against the custom has resulted in mutipy
u tne BARRIERS, who have refused. to shave the
neadS Oh any more child-widows. This seems,
II tne BARRIERS stand up to their positions,
likely to put an effectual damper on the in
human system.
