Black Detective,

Black detective.
This melo-drama will be at Portland Theatre
the last three nights of this week. 1t is claimed
for the piece that it is interesting, produced by
competent people and provided with special
scenery.
Gloriana.
.GIoriana," a farce comedy by James Morti-
mer which is having a great run i'll London,
had great run also in New York and Boston
at the hands of Charles Frohman's company,
and called forth enough laughter and applause
to cheer Mr.. Frohman's heart. "Gloriana"
will be seen at Portland Theatre next Monday
evening, produced by Mr.. Frohman's fine COM
pany, and will be one of the events OF the dra-
matte season. Applications for tickets are be-
ing made even now.
CIeveland's Minstrels.
Tickets are selling well at Stockbridge's for
the performance to be given at City Hall by
Cleveland's Minstrels and the great dancer Cy-
rene, September 23d. An exchange says:
1.-The performance was received with every
mark of approval, and a whirlwind of enthusi-
asm greeted the dancer .Cyrene. Cyrene has
made distinct hit as dancer, and it was a
commendable stroke of enterprise on the part
of Mr. Cleveland to secure her services. Her
poses are marvellous, her agility astonishing,

grace that sets the beholder's nerves culver IN
response to every cadence in this symphony OF

lola Pomeroy.
Last night Miss Pomeroy appeared in "Her
Hearts Choice" at Portland Theatre. The
play is similar to "Lorle,'' one of Maggie Mitch
elPs repertoire. In the drama opportunities
are afforded Miss Pomeroy for singing and dis
playing her varied accomplishments. Tonight
she will appear for the last time, presenting the

THE BENEFIT GAME.
Portlands Played Good Ball With the Au-
burn Gazettes Yesterday.

The attendance on the exhibition game OF
ball between Portland and Lewiston yesterday
was very small, but nevertheless good game
was played Kirmes, Cary and O'Brion did
good work O Brion catching two f1ys for which
he had to Jump. Kirmes made two beautiful
stops of hard hit balls, and Carey pitched a
good game.
The Auburn Gazettes played an excellent game
their only error being an overthrow by their
catcher. Lynch pitched the first half of the
game and Wheeler the other half. IA local
PLAYER umpired about as well as any umpire
has this season, which isn't saying much.

That Came With Wings.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record.
It's a rare quality to be able to train cat
to hatch chickens aud not eaC them up. In
this connection Robert O. Dugdale, assist
ant butler to George W. Childs at his Bryn
Mawr country seat Wootton, has father
Of whom he is proud. He has just received
letter from the old country, stating that
MIR. Dugdale, Sr., has succeeded for the
second time in inducing his pet cat Jessie
TO hatch and bring in health to maturity
a brood OF chickens. Mr.. Dugdale is a
retired seed merchant, residing in the
little village Of Dalston, four and half
miles from Carlisle, Cumberland county
England. He has long devoted himself to
his hobby Of keeping and raising numerous
animals of all species and of trying novel
experiments with them.
Several years ago, finding two young
rabbits in the field, be brought them home
and gave them to his favorite cat Jessie
which had just lost its kittens and finding
how kindly she took to them and how sue
cessfully she raisdd them until they were
able to take care of themselves, he resolved
in the spring of 1889 to try an experiment.
The idea struck him that maybe she could
hatch a brood Of chickens, as she was quite
an old cat and dozed away most of the time
on an old cushion chair near the fire in the
kitchen.
KITTY MATCHED SIX EGGS.
One day early in May Mr.. Dugdale put
six hens eggs alongside the old cas as she
slept peacefully in the old cushioned chair
She woke up, lazily regarded the eggs, and
| rearranging herself, went to sleep again
Jessie spent almost all her time sleeping in
the chair, only going out for a stroll now
and then, and together from her warmth
and the heat from the stove, near which the
chair stood at the end Of three weeks four
| chickens were hatched.
| The cat was in nowise disconnected at the
change in her bed-fellows, but at once be-
| gan to care for them as IL they were kit
| tens. Before they were O day old she had
washed them several times, although they
had by no means expressed their approval
of the process. Before the day was over
she had learned out OF doors to mother them
| as well as any old hen.
BACK IN HER MOUTH TO THE NEST.
By and by, thinking they had enough of
an outing, she took one in her mouth and
carried it tenderly to the old chair in the
kitchen, where she deposited it and returned
for the second and so on. AS the chicks
grew older they began to object to this
summary method OF putting them to bed.
The chicks did not leave their strange
| mother until they we're well grown.
This summer Jessie repeated her perform
ance Of 1889 and Matched out Eve nursliugs.
Jessie and her adopted family held public
reception every day, crowds coming from
miles about 20 see this seeming perverslop
