dressing Maine Democrats. He knew
that when he met Maine Democrats thew
were true. For unless animated by the
genuine spirit of Democracy they would
never have survived defeat for Is wears.
One Maine Democrat was worth five New

he was heartily glad that at

taking hold of the question of prohibit

The loud rumble of many feet began
now to be heard as the audience began
to stream from the hall. The gallery
caughtIthe infection flrst and then it
was communicated to the floor. 1t was
not spasmodic or occasional; but contin-
uous until the galleries were well-nigh
empty and large inroads had been made
upon the audience in the body of the
hall. And then it didn't stop. There
was hardly an instant Of time for the
whole remainder of the evening when a
group here or there was not getting up
to join the stream going out.
Mr.. Frost's speech was devoted to the
tariff almost entirely. He seemed to be
a scholarly man, but his voice was not
very good, and his presentation of his
subject was rather quiet for the tastes
of his audience. Then, too, he painted
so lugubrious picture of the condition
of this country as to discourage even the
most mournful Democrat This had as
much as anything to do with discourag
ing the audience.
After Nj. Frost had concluded young
Mr.. Enbright of Michigan was intro
duced. He was a bright speaker and
succeeded in resuscitating the fragment
of an audience that was left. He made
no argument, but humorously abused
the Republicans.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Thos. Shea.

Mr.. Shea appeared to large audience
last evening at Portland Theatre in "Our
Strategists, in which he added to the
excellent impression he had already Gre
ated in other plays. Tonight he will ap-
pear as monte Cristo'' in the famous
play of that name. All who have seen
O'Neil in the character will want to see
Shea essay the part.
Next Monday night Mr.. Lewis Morri-
son and his excellent company will APP
pear at Portland Theatre in his admira-
BILE scenic and dramatic production of
ssFaust." The effects in this production
are noteworthy. In the great scene in
the Broken real lightning is introduced.
The Nuremberg Cathedral scene is said
to be fine, and the excellent cathedral
choir renders grand music in the scene.
Mr.. Morrison's Mephisto is said to be one
of the best representations of the fiend
known to the boards.
The Pavilion.
The play of -four Hazer' is pleasing
large audiences at the Pavilion. Only
few more performances remain and adj
vantage should be taken of them. The
scenery is good, the costumes appropri-
ate and the acting very satisfactory. Be
sure and take the Casco Bay line after
securing seats at Stockbridge's.
Fontenelle.
James O'Neill has engaged for his pro-
duction of 'sFontenelle'' Miss Adelaide
Cushman, grandniece of Charlotte Cush-
man. She is described as young, beauti-
full and accomplished. Her dramatic ex-
perience hitherto has been confined to
Australia, where for three years she has
been prominently identified with leading
companies. Miss Cushman came to this
country from the Antipodes few weeks
ago. Another engagement for this com
pany is Miss Helene Lowell, who is now
playing in "By Proxy" at the Boston
Museum. Miss Kate Fletcher, sterling
actress, will remain with Mr.. O'Neill
next season, but with the other excep-
lions of Messrs. Howard Gould and viii
liam Fl. Pascoe, this company will be en-
tirely new.

A FROST FELL ON IT
And Proze Ali the Democratic Enthu-
siasm.
THE HEAVY TREAD OF MANY PEG.
PIE GOING OUT.

The Rally in City Hall Opened Enthusi-
astically, but the Happily Named New
York Orator Made 1t Seem as if Sep
TENDER 18th Had Come Before the
Meeting Was Out-No Persons Killed
or Injured in the Stampede from the
Hall.
Last evenings Democratic meeting
was quiet tribute to the craftsmanship
of the Hon. Darius H. Ingraham. Some
time ago, Mr.. Ingraham took steps to
have an additional staircase put into
City Hall, so that in case of stampede
of the audience all might get out safely.
Last evenings affair shows that the
staircase is needed. When the speaking
began to get underway, the audience be-
gan to do the same thing. The
Heavy Tread of Many People Going Out
rose throughout the hall like sullen
roar. Fortunately the ordinary exits
proved sufficient, and no one was tram
pied to death or injured. Even the mem
bers of the uniformed companies were
seized with the infection. and their uni
forms added picturesqueness to the audi
ences grand retreat.
The meeting started out splendidly;
the whole battalion of uniformed compa-
MES turned out, paraded the streets, and
finally filed into the hall amid loud APP
plause. A large audience followed
them in, and filled floor, galleries and
the entry-way. The audience were in
good humor, too, and when Chairman
Farnsworth marched in at the head of
the orators and the eminent local Demo-
Gratis, big cheer of welcome went up.

Democrats who were cheered:

right, it sinks; but, if the marksman, by
keeping his eye on the spot where the
carcass went under, can so direct the
boat as to get there quickly enough,
he may be able to see the body of the an
imal going down in the crystal-clear
water. In that case he whips out his
gaf-pole and fishes it up. To succeed
IN this, however, he must arrive in tune
at the exact point where the game sank,
since it is only from just above that it
will be visih'e through the choppy
waves, which show not bubble for a
guide. A dead seal will sink from six
to ten feet while a skiff Is rowed fifty
yards. There is more skill in finding the
prey after it is hit than in shooting it.
Supposing that the seal is slightly or
mortally wounded, it dives and swims
away, in most cases to perish later. If
merely stunned, it founders about on
the surface and is easily taken; but that
seldom occurs. From this brief descrip-
ton some notion can be formed of the
enormous waste Of life in this kind of
hunting, which, according to the testi-

absolutely necessary for military supply.

Costume of the italian Fisherman.

In costume the italian fisherman has
no resemblance to his InlaId brother.
He wears a sort of Greek-like tunic,
sleeveless and reaching barely to the
knees. This is brought closely to his
body with broad leather belt, in the
inside of which be carries his rosary, his
scapular or perhaps some holy relic for
protection at sea. Rude sandals of tough
fish or goat skill are bound to his feet
with tough thongs that ere crossed
around the leg to the knee. His hair
and beard are seldom cut or trimmed. It
often has the wave OF sculptured gods
and as he rarely wears any head cover
ing, save perhaps cotton kerchief bound
around his head with the ends floating
in his hair, which is sometimes as blonde
as a Scandinavian's, his whole aspect ir-

After few days the herd thus inter-
cepted by the schooner will have passed
by. This is discovered from the fact
that no more heads of seals are seen
popping up in the water, Have the un-
fortunate beasts at length made their es-
cape from this predatory vessela BY no
means. She simply spreads her canvas
to the breeze, sails for sixty or 100 miles,
overhauls the animals and droceeds as
before. So it continues week after week,
month after month, until they have been
pursued to Bering Sea, into which some
bold poachers follow them, lying off the
Pribylov Islands in the fog which hardly
ever lifts, and shooting the breeding
mothers that venture out into the ocean.
In 1886, there were seven vessels en-
gagged in the sealing industry on the
northwest coast. There were twenty
two in 1887, thirty-three in 1889, forty.
five in 1890, and one hundred and ten
last summer. This year there will be
about one hundred and twenty-five
schooners in the business. All OF these

By July 10th the entire herd will be
on two islands in Bering Sea, breeding
and nursing their young. The pups are
all born by July 10th, ,and up to Novem-

Francisco, on the Pacific coast. There
they turn and 60 northward-nearly a
million strong-huggipg the coast, past

southern shore Of Alaska into Bering
Sea, reaching the Pribylov Islands again
by July 10. Upon those lonely rocks
they breed and nurse their young for four
months, at the end of which time the pups
are weaned and big enough to accompany
the annual migration. The track they
follow is never varied from, and each
week in the year finds them at the same
stage OF their route, so that no difficulty
in discovering the herd is experienced
by the hunters, who pursue the poor
beasts relentlessly month after month,
killing, killing, killing-until they get
back into Bering Sea again and are safe
fer while. No present project for
putting a stop to this is entertained. The
modus vivendi and the seizures of vessels
have merely related to the exclusion of
the pelagic sealers from Bering Sea
itself, where they are anxious to 60 and
wipe out the whole breeding herd while
it is assembled on two small islands, thus

THE RAIN UPON THE ROOF.
BY ARTHUR E. SMITH.

Oh love, upon the roof, to hear the patter OF
And the music, when it dashes swift against the
window pane,
Then i love to sit and watch the wheat bending
unto the breeze, ,-, .,o
And the dripping Of the rsin-drops from the
arching linden trees,
For ! know the storm will vanish soon and
bright the sun will shine, 900
And the flowers I love, more sweet, Will ralse
their love-lit eyes to mine.
How love to watch the leaden clouds sail swift
And to hear the distant thurder's roar, and the
storms heavy tread
There is grandeur when tne great cioucs foli
across the western sky.
And the grey mists sweep in splendor down the
wooded hillsides nigh,
While in SHEETS, before the wind, the rain drives
DER the parched plain,
And the proud pines sway and bend before tne
strength Of the hurricane.
But like the storms Of life, because they make
the heart more strong;
When thu storms Of sin sweep down, the heart
grows stronger 'gainst the wrong,
As the oak upon the hillside, wrenched by evry
Ever takes a deeper. hrmer root within the

So the heart, when wrenched by storms OF SID,
for strength looks to the Lord,
And takes deeper, fr1ner hold in the precious
glorIes OF his word.
OH love, upon the roof, to hear the patter O:
the rain,
And the music, when it dashes swift against the
window pane.
For there's hours Of solid comfort when the

And Dame Nature, fresher, fairer will seem
when the storm is past.
As the sun shines brighter after the dark clouds

mentioned respecting the extraordinary
business of pslagic sealing. For the pur:
suit of this industry small schooners of
from forty to sixty tons are equipped.
Each such vessel starts out on voyage
with three or four months provisions, a
quantity of salt, Ii supply of repeating
rifles, and fifteen or twenty men. Usually
the crew includes few Indians from
Vancouver's Island and Neeah Bay,
Washington. The schooner sails out into
the path of the herd of seals. She has
no trouble in discovering when the right
point is reached, by the popping up on
all sides in the water of the animals
heads. Then she lies too, unless the
weather is TOO rough, and lowers into
the sea q number of small dories.
Each boat is occupied by two men.
One of them sits in the bow, with Win
chester rife or fowling- piece loaded
with buckshot across his lap, while the
other rows. The effort is to extend
from the vessel line of from seven to
ten dories, which shall be within hail OF
each other, so that they can find their
way back in case of fog or storm.
Having taken their positions, they wait
for the chance Of seals head popping
up within range. The animals, while
travelling, only appear on the surface at
the intervals necessary for breathing,
taking a quick and cautious look around,
and Immediately diving again to swim
and fish. They do all their swimming
and fishing under water.
When the hunter sees head pop up,
if he is quick enough he may have time
to aim and fire before the seal has taken
