MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Charity Ball.

1
The Charity Ball, although it has been
given on two former occasions in Port
land, has evidently increased rather than
lost in popularity. No such audience
has been seen at Portland theatre since
the County Fair as was present last
night. Not only were all the seats taken
but the orchestra was removed and two
rows of extra chairs occupied it's place.
The play was very handsomely staged
and beautifully costumed. The scene in
the first act, with the blazing wood fire
in the ante-room off of the drawing
rooms, where Cain is put to sleep in the
arm chair, and the fire light brings out
the figures in bold relief, was remark
ably effective. The foyer of the opera
house in the second act was also quite
well done.
1t isn't necessary to discuss the play
at this late day. While effectively con
structed, the work of skilled playwrights,
we have always felt its reputation was
greater than it deserves. It was fairly
well played last night
The Mikado.
There was a fine dress rehearsal last
night at City Hall and tonight there will
be a magnificent audience present. Mr..
Montgomery himself will take the role
of the Mikado, Miss Florence Knight,
Mrs. Jennie King Morrison and Miss
Anna Stockbridge, as the three little
maids, will sway their audience at will,
and tE@ s'Katisha'' of Miss Katharine
Kicker cannot be otherwise than charm
ing. Mr.. Harry M. Nickerson will make
an ideal Nanki-Poo, Mr.. Elliot G. Mitchell
a nimble-footed and very funny Ko-Ko,
Mr.. Frank III. Pierce as Pooh-Bah will do
credit to his protoplasmic ancestors, and
MI. Harry F. Merrill will be excellent as
Pish-Tush.
Sam1 of Posen.
Tonight and Thursday, Mr.. Frank W.
Curtis will appear for the first time be-
fore a Portland audience in the ever
popular ''Sam'l of Posen." Lately Mr..
Curtis has found that there was such a
demand for "Sam'l of Posen,' that he
has consented once more to appear as an
actor, and has been meeting with very
large degree of popular approval. A
special Fast clay matinee is announced.
Notes.
A remarriage of couple recently
divorced took place in Washington Sun
day morning at the residence of J. S.
Sutherland, 300 Sixth street. The parties
were Richard Carroll, the comedian of
the Duff Opera Company, and Josie
Sutherland, niece of the host. Miss
Sutherland was but recently divorced
from Mr.. Carroll, and the marriage yes
terday was the contamination of a recon
ciliation that took place last week.

side Norway Knox has that rare and
game Patchen blood.
Right here let me digress long ienough
to say that Gen. Knox, of which Norway
Knox is perfect and improved edition
in size and other points, was perhaps the
most remarkable horse ever bred in
Maine. Under the most adverse condi-
tons in the way of mates, he founded
race as distinct if not SO distinguished as
that of Geo. Wilkes under the most adj
yantageous circumstances Tor a get that
would be speedy and game. Gen. Knox
stamped himself wonderfully upon his
progeny.
In the family of Norway Knox we find
Dinah, 1924, and half dozen others in
the thirties, and among them Kit, owned
by the well known Boston horseman.
John May, for private use, with trial
heat of 2:25.
Norway Knox is finely bred. He goes
straight back to Vermont Blackhawk;
then to Vermont Hero, the sire of Sher-
man Blackhawk, and he the father of
Gen. Knox. This was perhaps the pur-
est type of the Messenger and Morgan
blood that was ever introduced into
Maine. and it permeated itself wonder
FULLY. Norway Knox may produce a
PAiS1lOlnSIldl LiObtCI llhC Ills COuSIu CdIll-
ors, 2:195 at colt age; but he is al
most absolutely certain to reproduce
himself in stable, kindly gentlemen's
roadster, male or female, that will al
ways command sensible price.
Valuable Colt Lost.
DR.. Geo. III. Bailey lost valuable colt
on the 9Th inst, bred from Jersey Bells,
sire Charalist, by Chine. of the Beautiful
Bells family of Electioneer. The
colt was unusually large, and APP
peared in good condition when foaled,
but some accident befel it. Jersey Bells
will be sent West again to Charalis for
another trial. Had it lived it would
have rejoiced in the striking name of
Jersey Lightning.
New Method of Discovering Chambers.
A new chemical liquid for diagnosing
CHAMBERS has just been sent to DR.. Geo.
I'll. Bailey, our State veterinary surgeon,
with request to test, and directions from
DR.. Sherman, chief of the bureau of ami
mai industry of the Agricultural Depart
ment. 1t is called Memalleian, is very
powerful and is said to have never failed
IN detecting CHAMBERS. A quantity equal
to about half a drop of water injected
into the circulation of the horse will
cause a rise of temperature of from to
5 degrees in from four to eight hours if
the animal is diseased with CHAMBERS, but
it healthy no change in temperature oc-
ours.

er the driveway leading into Emery's
shed was or was not wholly within the
territories leased to him, was
unimportant. Tt is question that in no
way affected his liability to keep the
way in repair. 1t seems to us perfectly
plain that the driveway from the lumber
shed across the railroad track to the car
riage way extending up and down the
wharf, was one of the appurtenances be-
longing exclusively to the shed and the
land on which it stood; and that it was
as clearly the duty of the owner of the
shed and lessee of the land on which it
stood to keep that driveway in repair as
it was to keep the shed itself in repair;
and that it was no more the duty of
these defendants to watch that approach
to the shed, and see that it was safe for
use than it was to watch the shed itself
and see that that was kept in safe con-
dition. We think upon this point the
ruling was wrong and that the verdict
returned would have been wrong, if the
ruling had been correct. We think that
upon the evidence reported the jury
might have been very properly instructed
to return a verdict for the defendant.

Notwithstanding he owned real estate and had
S35 in his pocket, on March 5, 1890, while in
the house of neighbor in Yarmouth, the de-
PENDANT with one Elijah Morrill,, seized him.
handcuffed him and took him to the poor farm
in the town of Yarmouth and kept him there 65
days at labor
The defense is that Farrar, having his legal
settlement in the town OF Yarmouth, had been
before this time supported by the town as a
pauper upon their poor farm, ana mad unlawful
ly escaped that the defendant was one of the
overseers OF Yarmouth, and Elijah Morrill, was
superintendent OF the poor farm and that what
ever was done by them was done by authority
OF the overseers of the poor in the lawful reno
val OF the plaintiff as pauper, and that only
such kind and degree of force was employed as
was absolutely necessary to effect such reno
val. u az.
The plaintiff admits that in 1889 he was sick
in Franklin plantation and was removed by the
ovefSeerS OF the poor of Yarmouth to their poor
farm in 1889; but he claims that he was not in
distress within the meaning of the pauper stat
uteS; that he then was possessed OF real estate
horse and COW and is tons of hay The Sc,
lectmen OF Yarmouth, however, say that they
investigated the case and could find no proper
ty but that was mortgaged or pledged for more

handsome black stallion Norway Knox,
the property of Messrs. Burnham and
Morrill,, and for some years past in charge
of Mr.. Charles J. Ayers, at Taylor's Oak
street stable in this city. This noble
horse is picture of equine beauty that
would have delighted the heart of Rosa
Bonheur. In color he is glossy black
with long flowing name and tail; of rare
beauty and strength i'll conformation,
and like nearly all the Knox family, of
gentle disposition. He was trained but
very little for racing purposes; but dem
onstrated that he was a powerful and
game trotter His record of 2:291 was
made in a hard fought race on the Mystic
track and in the struggle for supremacy
he crowded the winner to 2:26, and Nor
