MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Faust.


Tonight and this afternoon, Lewis
Morrison and his excellent company will
present ''Faust'' at Portland theatre.
Lewis Morrison is himself an accom-
plished actor of the melodramatic school,
the results of his training in that partic-
ular line being very noticeable in his de-
lineation of Mephisto, one of Goethe's
master creations. 1t is the strongest of
the many characters assumed by MI.
Morrison, and by all odds the best por-
trayed. Faust as given by Mr.. Morri-
son and his company, is moulded and
mounted to please popular taste, rather
than to bring out it's classic and philoso-
phical beauty. The apotheosis is not
only handsome tableau, but it leaves
the sensibilities in a state of delightful
composure.
Mr.. James O'Neilps latest success,
s.Fontenelle,' will be at Portland theatre
Friday and Saturday next,
ssTwo Sisters will be given at the
theatre Thursday evening.
Cleyeland's Minstrels will be at City
hall, Friday evening, September %.
Harry Crandall, the star of Crandall &
Zoellner's comedians, plays the part OF

which will be seen at the Portland thea

The storm early last week interfered
with mackereling and very few catches
are reported The fish are still along the
Maine coast and in the Bay of Fundy,
and with settled weather vessels may be
able to secure more good fares, but there
is not much chance for a large catch.
Very little is expected from North Bay.
Takes of mackerel are reported at sever

no large schools.

When Mr.. Reed appeared, accompan-
led by x-Congressmen Greenhalge OF
Massachusetts,, and Shoemaker of New
Jersey, the audience burst iato loud APP
plause and cheers. General Mark T.
Wentworth of Kittery, introduced
General C. p. Mattocks
of Portland, as chairman.
General Mattocks said that an unusual
interest attached to Maine in every cleo
ton Although not one of the largest of
the states, Maine was the birthplace of
the Republican party. From her geo
graphical position she had been destined
to kiss the dawn, and lead the Republic.
But over and above the accidents of
geographical position, Maine had for sew
eral generations produced statesmen,
who had given her a leading place.
Evans, Fessenden, Morrill,, and that
grand old man whose name is respected
alike by Democrats and Republi-
cans, Hannibal Hamlin, [Applausel.
And fit successors of those men have
continued to represent Maine in high
places at Washington.
The coming election was to be one OF
extreme importance, DcCduee Wy ~ Woo
to be settled forever the industrial policy
of the country. This election would de-
termine whether we were to continue the
system under which the wealth and pop
ulation of this country had doubled in
quarter of century, OF substitute for
it some other system.
1t was reserved to the State of Maine
to send to the National Congress one
who had established in our largest legis-
lative body the principle which is at the
bottom of all our liberties, Shat the will
of the majority shall rule. The stand
which he took had been commended by
state legislatures, by foreign parliament
tarians and finally approved by the SUI
preme Court of the United States. He
had set an example which the Demo
cratic party would have done well to fol
low, since they had come to grief and
disaster by following plan of their
own.
1t was now his pleasure to introduce
to the audience, not gentleman from
the city of Portland, or from the State
of Maine, but the Hon. Thomas B. Reed
of the United States of America. Loud
cheers, applause and waving of hats and
handkerchiefs.

An IMMENSE CROWD.
The Old Orchard Mass Meeting a
Great Success.
FROM SIX TO TEN THOUSAND ON
THE GROUNDS.

r. L. 0re0uHdlSO anu AAOA' -
schoopmaker-Genera C. P. Mattocks
Presides-A Parade of Campaign Conn
panies and Great Interest and Enthu-
siasm.
The open air mass meeting on the Old
Orchard campground on Saturday sur
passed even the magnificent political gath
erings for which thi slocality has been IA
nous in past campaigns. The most con
seryative estimates did not set the num-
Der present at less than 5000, and some
set it as high as 10000. It was very diff
ficult to estimate the crowd, for besides
filling the seating capacity of the grounds
it flocked into the aisles, overlooked the
rostrum and extended itself to the We
randas of the cottages near by.
The audience came from all parts of
the First District. Portland sent several
hundred on the 1.45 p. m. train, while
special from Dover, N. H., picked up
many Republicans from all of the York
county towns along the line. A large
proportion, probably nearly all, of the
towns were represented.
The Portland battalion of uniformed
companies was a striking feature of the
admirably managed meeting. The COM
panies got away from Portland on the
1.45 train, and on arriving at Old Orch
ard acted as escort for the speakers from
the Fiske House to the campgrounds.
The Biddeford Band accompanied them.
The display was very fine. The Harri-
son Guards, under command of Captain
Gilchrist and Lieutenants WEIGH and
Brooks, had the right of the line with so
men. The Harrison and Reid Drum
Corps, 80 men, under Captain Fowler,
came next, then the Tippeeanoes, 80
men, under Captain Waldron, and Lieu
tenants Freeman and Jose; and next the
Reed Cadets, 40 in line. under Captain
Cookson and Lieutenants Beck and San
born.
At the campground the great audience
had already gathered. The Saco and
Biddeford Glee Clubs We're stationed,
the one on the left and the other on the
right of the stage. Their catchy songs
were an unique and effective portion of
the exercises.
The venerable Eben Emerson of Bid
deford also marched onto the platform at
the head of % aged men, all 80 years OF
over, who had voted for William Henry
Harrison in 1910. One of these aged
men named Randall was 95 years old.
Among them were Rev. Mr.. Nichols of
Saco, Captain William Googins of-Bidde-
ford, DIR. Stevens of York, Rishworth
Jordan of Biddeford, James Lumbert,
John Curtis of Kennebunkport, Cyrus
Cleaves of New York, Horace Smith of
Kennebunkport, Captain Jacob Roads,
William Hutchins Of Biddeford and 9th
ers. These venerable men were greeted
with loud applause when they took their
places on the platform. On the platform
were gathered also the following well
known York county Republicans:

st. Gervais, Switzerland's Famous Health
Resort, Swept Away.
PARIS, July ia terrific storm swept
over the Chamounix and Arve valleys in
Switzerland. Rain fell In torrents, and the
enormous quantity Of water precipitated
caused the river Arve to rise suddenly to
great height. The swelling of the mountain
stream led to the inundation of the country
along the banks, and great damage was
done at many places.
The worst disaster was at St. Gervais, the
famous health resort. The village was prac-
tically swept away by a landslide caused by
the storm, and it is reported that 200 resi-
dents and visitors were drowned or buried
under the landslide. The celebrated baths
were destroyed and at least half the build
ings in the place were demolished.
The Arve is filled with floating debris,
mingled with which are many corpses of
men, women ard children, besides hundreds
of carcasses of cattle, goats and other ami
mails.
Over $50 bodies have been recovered from
the Arve and from the ruins of houses. II
is believed that there are many bodies bur-
led under the mass of debris.
One hundred and fifty bodies have already
been found at st. Gervais.

ASTOR is NOT DEAD,
The Cabiegram Reporting His Sudden
Death Was n Forgery.

LONDON, July 13.-William Waldorf As
tor is not dead. The report that he had
expired was cabled to his New York agent
by some malicious person for the purpose,
1t Is thought, of annoying the family. The
hrst intimation that was received of such
report having gained currency came in
The shape of a cable of coincidence from the
employees in Mr.. AstoF's New York office,
conveying their heartfelt sympathy and
regret. From this it is assumed that some
one in London cabled to the office In New
York, and whether it was done through
private malice or for the purpose of stock
Jobbing, of course, cannot be determined
until the author of the dispatch Is discov-
cred.
In reply to a note explaining the situa-
tlon in New York and the contradictory re-
ports that had been received from London
In regard to her husband Mrs. Astor sent
out word that Mr.. Astor was much better
A cable received from New York states
that Manager Bartlett, of the Astor estate
received the announcement of Mr.. Astor's
death by cable from Mr. Adams, Mr.. As
tors agent in London At laast the cable
was signed by him, and Nj" Bartlett sup
posed that it was authentic.
Mr.. Adams said: 1.-THE telegram that is
reported to have come from me is clear
forgery. ! emphatically deny sending any
such telegram, and shall take immediate
proceedings to ferret out the forger Of the
telegram. ] saw Mr.. Astor few hours ago
and he was as jolly as sand boy He
treated the affair With levity and said he
was used to being made ghost.
Although Mr.. Astor," continued Mr..
Adams, ''says the affair cannot affect him,
do not intend to let the matter drop. l
have cabled Mr.. Baldwin denying that
sent him the telegram asking for full par
ticulars. The telegram was possibly sent to
influence Wall street. but 1t cannot injure
Mr. Astor. He is making rapid progress
toward recovery"

dead from fright during the progress of the
flames The names of the others who were
killed or burned are not yet recorded.
The origin of the fire is not mystery. A

the northern suburbs of the city and threw
down the burning match Half an hour
later volume of flame and living embers
were rushing down over the entire length
Of the city toward the water.
