The A.byssinian Church.

This church which for more than 90
years has sought the welfare of the col
ored people of Portland, is looking for
wards to larger future. At a council
of the Congregational churches held a
few evenings ago it was unanimously
and enthusiastically voted that the
churches of Portland should stand by
this organization, and measures were
taken to secure for them pastor at an
early date, and meanwhile to have their
pulpit supplied by the city pastors.
With good church building and de-
voted membership this church must con-
tinue to fulfill it's mission as the time
honored friend of our colored popula-
ton.

\ CHANGING
~ source of enter
tainment is this
basement department of
ours.
Some new thing every
day, some novelty for
kitchen furnishing or for
the dining room; a new
odd shape in Indian
Baskets; fans, toys and
Japanese curios-you will
see things here today
that you didn't see yes
terday, and tomorrow will
offer just as much.
The place is packed
with useful, wantable ar
ticles, marked at prices
that make them all bar
gains.
A little late in the sea-
son, maybe, to speak of
Hammocks, still if you
haven't done the outing
act yet, and are about to
begin your vacation, buy
a Hammock by all means;
you will get two seasons
wear out Of it and more
comfort than you can
get for double the cost in
any other way. There
is no such generator of
laziness nor such a pro-
moter of comfort as the
Hammock.
You can get anything
you want in Mems
Hosiery here.
We say the most about
Onyx and get you to buy
that kind if possible, be-
cause we think Onyx is
best; not only the best
for selling but the best to
buy. We have the other
kinds too, from 25c up.

In the Westbrook municipal court yes
terday morning seven young men from
Gorham, William, BARLEY and Jack
Feeney, Frank Morrill,, Harry Moody,
VIM. Harding and Fred Floyd, and Mrs.
Catherine Meserve, a young woman,
were arraigned on charge of adultery.
The government asked continuance
and the case was postponed until next
Wednesday morning. All the young
men but Moody and Morrill, gave bail
and were released. The other two and
the woman were committed to Jail in
default of bail. This is the assault case
mentioned in the papers yesterday.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Mountain Heiress.

Mckee Rankin's charming western
idyl, 1.-THE Mountain Heiress, = was CIV
en- its initial performances at the Pavii'
ion yesterday, and met with an instant
success. 1t is a very strong play, and
moves the audience to tears and laugh
ter both. 1t is splendidly mounted, and
the scenic effects are but another evil
dence of the talent of Mr.. Booker, the
artist.
Miss Hamilton has soubrette part in
Carrots, and she gives to it much dash
and chic, and makes perhaps her best hit
of the season, demonstrating more than
ever her great versatility. Miss Ryan
looks bewitching as Belle, and acts with
exceeding gracefulness and good taste.
Miss Lowering as Mrs. Dennison and
Miss Fallay as Mississippi have very lit.
tie to do, but do well.
OF the gentlemen, Mr.. McCallum
makes great hit as The General, and
calls forth many a hearty laugh, while
Mr.. Armstrong makes strong portrayal
of the strong part OF old 40" Mr.. Ora
dy and Mr.. Cousins give their roles an
artistic rendering, while Mr.. Robinson is
entitled to special praise for his very
neat character work as Old Ned, the ne
gro servant. Mr.. Morga as the virtu-
Gus young lawyer, and MI. King as the
villain, win respectively the admiration
and hate of the audience by their strong
acting.
Taken as whole, perhaps the present
piece is the most satisfactory of any of
the season so far, and crowded houses
are assured the balance Of the week.
Mr.. Denny makes great hit this week.
Sherwood Orphan Youth Band.
This band of young colored boys,
ranging in age from 4 to IA years,
arrived in town yesterday noon and made
parade about the city, giving the pub
lie taste of the quality of their music.
They played remarkably well. Their
concert at City Hall in the evening was
SHINY attended, as would be expected
with so many of our citizens at the isl
ands and out of town. The boys played
excellently, however, and also sang many
selections and gave some capital recita-
tons.

What wonderful change has been
produced in all our habits by the ready
means Of obtaining light out Of the
material formerly extracted from
human effete matter. and now from
old bones! Before its application to
matches it is calculated that every
man, woman and child spent ninety
hours yearly in getting light and fire,
or rather that they would have doue
SO If they had used such means as
freely as we do now. At present the
consumption of phosphorus matches
per head Of the population amounts to
eight daily, and, as each match con.
sumes fifteen seconds in its use, two
minutes are spent for the whole day,
or twelve hours for the year. If we
calculate the economy of time to the
population OF the United States by this
simple invention, each person saves
seventy-eight hours yearly, or, say, ten
working days, which, represented in
labor cost at half dollar per day for
the sixty-two millions of the popula-
tion in the United States, gives an ag-
gregate economy of three hundred and
ten million dollars yearly. -Norta
