Ullie Akerstrom.
Ullie Akerstrom is styled the winsome
little home tavorite. Her new four act

and amusing, admirably staged with
special scenery, mechanical devices, etc
The company is far above the average,
AS Aurora, she is, if it were possible,
more charming and vivacious than ever,
and seems completely enthused with the
part, which calls into play her versatility
as lithesome, bewitchlng danseuse and
accomplished actress. In her new de-
parture she appears astride her trained
horse Gyp, in an, exciting scene repre-
senting fox hunt with all its surround
ings. She will be seen in the play at
Portland theatre Monday evening.

CITY OF DEERlNG.

The Odd Fellows of Fraternity lodge
have purchased the Webb property on
the corner of Woodfords street and For
est avenue, at Woodford's Corner, and it
is understood that their intention is to
erect on the lot brick block at some
future time. The plans for this block
have not been made, but it is probable
that the lower floor will be fitted up as
stores, and the floors above for hall pur-
poses. A block of this sort would be a
great improvement to Woodford's bust
ness street. The price paid for the
Webb place is said to be $4,000.

Decadence of the BLACK Dress Coat.

Tailors dislike the black dress coat
which has SO long held sway at evening
entertainments. One of these garments
lasts too long to suit the man who makes
it, and every now and then the knights
of the shears and goose get together for
the purpose of driving their old and in
vulnerable enemy from the field. In
London several swells have been induced
to appear at evening entertainments in
suits of dark gray, and one venturesome
New York tailor is endeavoring to get
some Of the jeunesse doree Of his city to
follow suit. It is not intended to confine
the fashion to one color, but simply to
require chat evening costumes for men
shall be of cloth which contains no pat

There was considerable tun and lots of ex-

he office of the American Express company
Saturday evening. 1t is a regular grab bag,

age until after the purchase money has been
paid This "dead hoss' as it is called, is the
accumulation of all the offices in this section
| of unclaimed freight, which. after being held
a year, is sold at auction to the highest bidder.
The air of uncertainty about the contents of
| a package makes the sale more exciting, and
neat looking package will sometimes bring
several dollars, when the contents may be
worth but few cents. On Saturday even
| ing one man bought a package of that de-
scription, paying about So for it, and is now
the happy possessor Of large package of last
years patent medicine circulars. OF course,
occasionally there are rich prizes drawn, and
these spur the bidders on to more ruinous
competition for some favorable looking arti-
Gle. But whether you buy or not, there is
fun in standing around and congratulating
your friends on their unlucky purchases.
