Paderewski.
Speaking of Paderewski, who will ap-

exchange says:
The personal presence of the artist
caused buzz of interest to pass through
the hall. He is tall and slim, pallid of
countenance, his face is long and thin,
and with sharp features. His hair,
which is profuse, is of a reddish hue and
stands up as if it were electrified.
Notes.
Frank Mayo in ''Davy Crockett" drew
another large and delighted audience at
Portland Theatre last night.
