A WORD TO the WISE.
The Registration Of Voters Pro-
aressIng Much Too Slowly.

II ia TO be feared that many voters do not
fuIlv understand the registration now in
process, falling perhaps to comprehend its
Importance. The new system is a well
considered law of the State, new depart
ure, involving a complete and thoronoh
change in the method Of registration and
as such binding upon all the cities IN tba
State, to which only. as yet, it is applica-
BILE.
The Legislature became aware tho, Tho
old method was very deficient and liable 70
serious abuses; and so, in the new law
adopted the principle of personal registrs,
ton, than which there can be no surar
means CT obtaining perfect list of opoI;
ned voters. Recognizing this, the Hoard
OF Registration for this city have been ond
are working upon this line. 1t must. how
ever. be apparent from the published 70
ports OF names entered that the repistra-
tion Is proceeding very slowly, and that
unless there shall be very considerah1o
increase Of applicants during the balance
OF time that can be devoted to this mottor
prior to posting the lists, which must ba
thirty days before the municipal election
OF March next. there will be a numbar Of
unregistered voters altogether too large N
get their names ON the lists In the six DAVIS
that the Board will sit immediately nrior
to the day Of election, as the examination
and entry of two hundred and fiftv namao
per day may be relied upon as the highest
number that can be registered, while II
now appears that there will be nearly or
quite twice that number who will be
greatly disappointed if failure to register
should at last be occasioned by want of
time. To prevent this let all who in anv
event may care to vote, see to it that they
seasonably make application while the
Board are giving their undivided attention
to registration, for by and by the prepare
tion of the lists for posting must greatly
interfere.
Let II be remembered that name once
entered upon the voting list under this law
remains on year after year, and cannot be
stricken off without notice to the party in
terested. 1t should also be borne In mind
that the registration law bears no relation
to, and is entirely disconnected from the
Australian Ballot" the former going In.
to operation at the municipal election in
March next. while the latter does not be-
come operative till the State election of
September next
As always heretofore. registration is a
prerequisite to voting. The former method
is done away with, and another, the pres
ent one. instituted in its place by the high
est authority, that of law of the State.
Let all comply with it promptly and there
can be- no future cause Of complaint.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PYGMALIeN AND eALATEA.

PYGMALIGN AND GALATEA.
There were two fine performances of this
always popular comedy. founded on the op-
era OF the same name, at the City Hall.
yesterday afternoon and evening, by the
popular home organization, the Players
Club. Mr.. John A. MCGOWAN in one title
role. Pygmalion, and Mrs. Emma w.
Moseley in the other. Gslatea, were excel
lent to degree rarely seen in amateur
plays. Mr.. McGowan's portrayal of doubt,
fear and despair in the tragic portions of
bis part were delivered with surprising
force and ability. Mrs. Moseley acted the
innocent, guileless maiden to perfection,
and, in the last scene, where the blind Pyg-
malion, supposing her to be his wife, pro-
tests he never loved Galatea and invokes
the curse of the gods on her. she fully rose
to the occasion. Miss Gillen as Cynesca.
the stern, relentless wife of Pygmalion,
unable to understand Galatea's innocence
OF wrongd0ing In making love to him who
formed her out of rough marble, held the
audience spellbound in her impassioned
speeches. Mr.. Carl Warren as Chrysos,
the patron of the arts, and Miss Lottie
Bruce as Daphne, his indignant and mas
terful wife, furnished the comedy parts Of
the piece In a style which marks them as
of the best of amateurs. Miss Bruce es
pecially, with her airs of calm superiority
over her wealthy, but weak husband,
called forth roars of laughter. The other
actors, although less prominent in the play
were none the less excellent. Miss Fow-
Ter as Myrine. Pygmalion's sister, John P.
WEIGH as Leucippe, her lover, Mr.. Robert
Rexdale and Mr.. t. A. Burke as the slaves
of Pygmalion and Chrysos made up the
cast. The one disagreeable feature of the
evening was contributed by the audience,
which seemed anxious to catch train
somewhere, several minutes before the
curtain fell.
PORTLAND THEATRE.
One OF the largest audiences ever in the
theatre was In attendance last evening.
There was standing room only, ana extra
seats were placed in the orchestra space.
The first number on the new bill of talent
presented was Manning and Wooley, In
their original petite comedy, "The Rivals"
introducing songs, dances, with dialogue
and remarkable situations. Next came
Haynes and Leigh, in their interesting
skate dance act, then came Harry Hamil-
ton and Tommy Glynn in violin and banjo
solos and duets, spiced with sparkling
originality. "The Spirits" of Messrs.
Thomas and Watson will make those who
saw the skit laugh for many day. Mr..
James Neary, as an Irish comedian, vocal
LIST and dancer, was refined and grotesque.
The work of Prince Tanaka and Princess
Miena, Japanese Fantatist and Japanese
illusionist. was m arvellous, and wholly be-
yond comprehension their act is
different from the work of the usual
maglcians seen. Young Valdare. the won
der on the bicycle, has to be seen to be ap-
preciated. The Burglar Alarm" is an en-
Pertaining and ludicrous comedy.

You can readily see where we get

has been, to turn over our goods into

reasons. First, our storage room Is

Business Men and Clerks Sure.

The brain-workers Of the world are business

makes so many nervous, NTH worn out nerves,
tired brains and exhausted energies. There is
headache, adult, dizzy, bad feeling head, con-
fused thought, loss of memory, dependency,
sense of anxiety, loss of appetite, dyspepsia,
constipation, sleeplessness with tired waking,
without ambition to take hold Of the days work.

The humps OF camels are mere Jumps of
fat, and not provided for in the framework

good condition the humps are full and
plump. On a long journey where food is
scarce the humps are entirely absorbed, the
