features of the speeches, reference to it

the wonders of the exposition.

few words expressed his appreciation of
the honor of being president of such an
army of willing workers for the welfare
of Williston church, ssand urged the hearty
cooperation Of every member to make
the club a great success
Rev. Dwight M. Pratt, the pastor, spoke
of the opportunities for special study,
which could hardly be over estimated.
which the wonderful revelations of
achievements in all the walks of life
afforded, and thought it seemed as though
we were living almost ON the borders of
the supernatural in connection with the
marvels displayed.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Doctor Bill.


Tomorrow and Saturday, November "a
and %, with matinee Saturday, at the
Portland Theatre, will be seen for the
first time in this city, the merry comedy,
''Dr. Bill.'' Much has been heardaof this
now famous comedy, and it certainly
ought to attract very large audience in
this city. Many of our citizens have had
the pleasure of seeing the play, and one
and all express themselves as being high
ly delighted with it. This comedy is de-
void of all horse-play methods, which
are so much used in comedies of today.
1t is full of complications and awk-
ward situations, and the three acts are
said to be very laughable. The follow
ing, from the Detroit Sun, will give some
idea of the success the play met with in
that city:
Not for many moons has the Lyceum
Theatre had an attraction that is SO
thoroughly good as ''Dr. Bill'' now play
ing there. 1t is SO unlike other comedies
that personis at once interested. DR.
Bill is physician of 35, who, after
AiAoA yl0S,, QOoilCS W lOlodhO Alo p1OAS7
sion, the idea of which does not particu-
larry strike his father-in-law as being
practical. He insists that this son-ln-
law must return to his calling, and in the
absence Of the CDR" has large brass
plate nailed up on the door, sends out
letters and circulars, invokes the aid OF
the press, and soon has trade following
the doctors way. The efforts of the
father-in-law are not appreciated, and
he is roundly abused by DR..
Bill and heartily laughed at by the audi
ence. The kangaroo dance, executed by
the vivacious Miss Fauntleroy and DR..
Bill, is new and unique feature, and
pleased everybody SO we'll that they in
sisted on bringing the graceful couple
before the footlights four times before
they were satisfied.
Robin Hood.
3 The story of this opera is too well
known to need an explanation. But of
the music too much can not be said.
From the first note of the opening cho-
rus, ''Clang, Clang," until the finale of
The third act, the music is catchy, inter-
esting and we'll written. Miss Florence
Knight will make remarkable success
as Maid Marian, as she has fine oppor-
tunity for using her wonderfully high
voice. Miss Wagner, of the Boston Ideal
Company, will assume the male charac-
ter of the page. Allan-a-Dale. The
s'Sweep Chorus" which is to be sung by
fifteen boys chosen from the best singers
in our grammar schools, will vie in in
terest with the Sompronio's solo when
he makes his appearance upon donkey.
The chorus is excellent. and the opera is
an assured success. The course tickets
for ''Ropin Hood and Countess for
Day." which will be given in January,
are on sale at Chandler's.

THE BERlNG SEA COURT.

PARIS, April 13-Up pon the resum ption
of the sitting of the Bering sea court of
arbitration today Mr. James E.. Carter
continued, in behalf of the United States,
the presentation of the American side of
the case which he commenced yesterday.
He read the letters bearing upon the
questions ut issue sent by James G. Blaine
when secretary of state to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British minister to Washing
ton. After reading these letters, Mr..
Carter lengthily commented upon them.
He contended that Mr.. Blaine'S communi-
cations to the British representative
showed that the basis of the negotiations
for the regulation of the scaling industry
was to preserve the species. aud this apart
from the question of rights.
Lord Salisbury, Mr. Garter further con-
tended, in his dispatches to Sir John
Pauncefote, in response to Mr.. Blaine's
letters, had ably and ingeniously avoided
Mr.. Blaiue's argument that pelagic fishing
was contra bonos moreS.
After luncheon, Mr. Carter, in conciud-
ing his recital briefly recapitulated the
genesis and development of ths sealing
dispute under various heads, so far AS 1t
affected the regulation of the industry.
Mr.. Carter began by declaring that how
ever valuable TO the United States the seal
herd might be, its greatness as anation
forbade its accepting any decision unless
founded upon the principles of justice.
He appealed TO the members of the court
to dismiss from their breasts every feeling
of Partially and to give Judgment, not as
citizens of any particular country, but as
citizens of the world. The tribunal must
base its decision on the great moral prin-
ciples common to ali humanity.
NJ. Carter had not finished when the
court adjourned

THE CHEROKEE COUNCIL.

TAHLEQUAH, /. T., April Is The lower
house of the council has passed the senate
bill sending the chief treasurer and two
delegates to Washington to get the money
due on the strip bill.
A bill was introduced in the senate yes
terday morning providing for a permanent
agent at Washington. Senator Wolfe. A
full-blood member, took the floor against
the bill. During the course of his remarks
Mr.. W olte took occasion TO refer to the
way in which matters had been run during
! the present session of the legislature
meaning the hand played by eX-Congress-
man Peel. He said that if such an agent
Of the Cherokee nation should be sent to
Washington the same influence would
dominate his course, and for that reason
he was opposed re the bill Senator Wolfe
then paid his compliments to Alfred NJ
Wilson, OF Arkansas quoting the follow
ing paragraph from letter alleged to
have been written by Mr.. Wilson to Mr..
Peel
II feel it in my bones that you will sue
ceed before the Cherokee council, but do
try and make it pay. lou can if you try,
if any man can. Try and get reasonable
per cent
The reading of this letter created a sen
sation and will doubtless lead TO an inves-
tigation of Mr.. PeePs connection with the
passage OF Jhe OH TO fatlfy the strip
treaty. The bill providing for perma-
nent agent at Washington was defeated
