MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PAVILION THEATRE.

The large audiences at the Pavilion Thea
tire, Peaks Island, every evening go to prove
the popularity of the entertainment fur
nished by Mr.. McCallum and his excellent
company. This week the well known play
kathleen" is put on the stage in a taking
manner. Mr.. McCallum, as Terence, has
the close attention of his hearers, who watch
with approval his easy gestures and natural
acting. Messrs. Garfield and Charles are
capable artists, who carry out with much
skill two rather unpopular parts. Miss Hat
field, as Kathleen, gives conscientious por-
trayal of the charming Irish lass, whose
troubled dream gives opportunity for many
spirited and artistic passages. Miss frankie
Carpenter, who takes the part of Kitty In
charming manner, is an accomplished little
actress and evidently has bright future be-
fore her. She puts one in mind of Lolita or
Minnie Palmer and as far as beauty goes
does not suffer in comparison with either Of
them. The specialties introduced between
the acts of the play never fail to take well
with the audience. Next week the taking
play American Born" will be pres nted by
the full company. Get reserved seats at
Chambers.
PORTLAND THEATRE.
The Boston Herald of last Tuesday has
the following concerning the attraction
which Manager Lothrop will bring to his
Portland Theatre next week:
Ten Nights in Bar-room," unQuestiona-
bly, the strongest drama produced dnring the
engagement of those eminent actors. the
Keanes, at the Grand Museum, corner of
Washington and Dover streets, was yester-
day given before very large audiences. The
greatest success ever attained in depicting
true w0manhOod on the Museum stage was
yesterday achieved by Mrs. Keane in her adj
mirable portrayal of Mrs. Morgan, the
drunkard'S suffering wife. And equally as
| strong in a different way was the
| forcible delineation of character given by
| Mr.. Keane in his impersonation of the
| drunkard husband, Joe Morgan. Miss An
ME McVeigh again proved her great ver-
| satility, and her Mehitable Cartwright was a
| comedy treat. Sample Switched is a great
| character for a thoughtful comedian, and
| Mr.. John Phillips filled the bill to the letter.
Mr.. Charles Burnham, in the role of Mr..
Romano, showed his power of adaptability,
and produced strong impersonation. The
| Simon Slade of Mr. GAYLORD evinced careful
| study, and was fav0rably received. I'll. w.
Wright. as Willie Hammond, was also strong
| and capable. William Bowker, in the char
| acter of the INSCRIPTIONS Harvey Green,
gave commendable portrayal. The cast
throughout is strong"
1t may be said in this connection that
Miss Alice Keanc is said to be one of the
most beautiful women on the American
stage.

Portland Wheel Club.

The Portland Wheel Club has passed
these resolutions:
We, the members of the Portland Wheel
Club, regret deeply the death Of Mr.. Edward
III. Elwell Because of his noble character
and eminent service to the world, his re-
moval by death would have stirred sorrow
in our hearts, even had there not been the
especial sense of relationship with him
which we feel through our intimate associ-
alton with his two sons, Frank A and Ed
ward H., Jr.
Esteeming as we do the former for the
notable part he has acted In bringing the
cause of wheeling into high repute, and re-
Gently welcoming the latter to membership,
as one who needed no other recommends.
ton than the tact of his bearing the ElWell
name, we have felt honored in the posses
sion of two such members; and we sym
pathize with them in their present great
sorrow. This sympathy we extend to the
other members of the bereayed family; for
we feel that so long as the veil beyond
which there is no seeing is drawn around
the mystery of death, 1t Is most fitting that
all who have profited by acquaintance with
a good man should join In one common
grief when the veil comes between him and
them,

being to the effect that he dropped dead In

talk with many friends who had heard
the story.
Then last evening more called, and when
he took his accustomed walk before going to

heard the report with sorrow.
And finally he had to talk with the report
