An event occurred at Portland Theatre
Saturday night that was not down on the
bills. The play was Glands Across the
Sea-" the scene, the dungeon in which
Jack Dudley is incarcerated prior to his exc
cution for the murder Of Count Paul. The
unfortunate victim. innocent Of the crime is
wrestling with his emotions, prior to the
horrible end he expects. The prisen doors
are thrown open of sudden, and the off,
GERS appear to lead him to the guillotine. ln
the agony Of his approaching fate the pris-
oner cries out "You shall not lead me to my
DEATH" or words to that effect. The audi

Norway Water Supply.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
In your issue of Saturday, the Sd. there
appears remarkable comm unication stating
that the water In the lake at this place Is low
and consequently that the supply furnished
by the Norway Water Company is dangerous
to the user.
Does any one, for even moment, suppose
that In lake having seven to eight square
miles of water surface, and as deep as this
one Is well known to be, can become con-
taminated in the way and by the means
stated?
ALI water drawn from the lake by the COM
pany's works is filtered before entering the
reservoir. In order to set at rest all such
stories the company has had the reservoir
cleaned. Mr.. Geo. A. Gum, superintendent
OF the Norway shoe factory, who was pres
ent at the cleaning. informs me that there
was absolutely no need of having it done.
Every physician In the village and the mem
bers Of the board of health declare that they
consider the water perfectly harmless. Nor
ways best known citizen, Gen. Geo. l.. Beal,
condemned the article you published with
the strongest terms at his command.
Neither Is 1t unusually sickly here. The
present board of health has had knowledge
of six cases Of typhoid fever, three of which
were imported and the other three were per-
sons who had been using we'll water.
Very respectfully,
d. G. CLARK.
