Errors in School Books.

To the Editor of the Press:
The Pope Manufacturing Company OF
Boston has instituted search for errors
in school books by offering one of their
best pneumatic-tired Columbia Satellites,
price $50, to each of the five persons who
shall send them the greatest number of
errors before Sept. list. After the contest
is closed the results will be published in
pamphlet form and distributed through
out the country. The usefulness of this
search is obvious, for certainly efforts
should be made to have our schoolbooks
free from erroneous statements. A cues
ton might be raised, however, as to the
Justice of publishing the results of this
investigation to the world in a way to
make unfavorable comparisons IN text
booksS All new books of this kind have
in their first editions more or less typo
graphical and other errors. 1t may well
be asked is it fair to place these books on
the same ground with those which have
been on the market for years and years,
and which by the cotinued attacks of
rival book agents, hired critics, Jealous
authors and competing publishers have
been freed in a great measure from de-
fects of this kind, although they, in
many instances, fall far below the new
books in presentation of facts and
methods advocated? We say by all means
let the search go on land free our text
books from misstatements of fact, but
at the same time do not prejudice the
public against the new books on the
market by the publication of what no
doubt the ones concerned will be glad
to rectify If comparisons are thus
made let them take in all points and be
Just to authors and publishers.

The Maine Non-Forfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union Mutual's acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-F Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing it's benefits, it being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine, is the only cOmpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks CONSTITUTE
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non-F Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag
gregated in amount more than $32, 900.
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-reaching scope and liberal char
acter of this law:

tribute that such a law can have.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Baxters.

nv Charles Cowles has reason to con-
graduate himself on the success of his
new piece, "l'he Baxters, y which was
given its initial performance at The Pa
vilion Yesterday, and Manager McCallum
is entitled to great praise for the excel
lent manner in which the piece was
staged. "The Baxters'' is brand new
play. written especially for Mr. Cowles
by Mckee Rankin, and we predict that
the new piece will add TO Mr.. Rankin's
reputation to considerable degree. The
plot of the piece was outlined in the
PRESS yesterday morning. The scene is
laid in a little village in Ohio, where the
hero of the piece, Eben Baxter (Mr.
Cowles) is the postmaster. The play is
good one, having strong plot, some
very beautiful and witty lines, and good
situations. The play gives Mr.. Cowles
excellent opportunities to display his
talents as a Yankee comedian, and he
improves them to the utmost. Eben
Baxter is a simple, upright Ohio coun-
tryman, with big, honest heart, and a
deep love for his boy, Tom. His light
hearted, sunny nature under pleasant
circumstances, his terrible grief at his
sons supposed wrong-doing, and his ex-
uberant joy at the discovery of his inno-
cence. are splendidly done by MI. Cowles
He is distinctly original. 1t would be
hard for an ordinary comedian to play a
part of this kind without copying to
some extent Denman Thompson or Col
den, but Mr.. Cowles is no ordinary CO.
median and his portrayal has bright
ness and originality all his own. The
play does not give great scope to the
other characters, but there are few
very strong ones. Phyllis, the daughter
of John Loring, was given a delightful
portrayal by Miss Ryan. Her grace and
naturalness were very pleasing, and her
appearance all that could be desired.
She read her lines most intelligently, and
is to be congratulated upon her creation
of the part. Tom Baxter, in the hands
of Mr.. King, was very pleasing charac-
ter, and won the entire sympathy of the
audience. Mrs. Foley has difficult
part to do well in Mrs. Baxter, but &C
quilted herself with great credit. The
other characters have but little to do, but
were ali done we'll.
Mr.. Cowles's song and dance in the
first act was immense. The play must
be seen to be appreciated. In his partic-
ular line Mr. Cowles probably has no SUI
perior in the country, and in our opinion
this play will bring him added fame. The
piece will improve with every perform
ance, and no one should miss seing it.
The Casino.
Manager Parker announces an entirely
new bill for the weeks entertainment.
Among the artists engaged are Carey
and Edwards in songs and dances; Fred
Leland, eccentric comedian; Jessie
Smith and Luzetto. The Wilson's, banjo
players and musical artists. will remain
another week. The show is well worthy
of patronage, and is sure to draw large
houses at every performance. The spe-
cial boat Merryconeag leaves Portland
Pier at p. m. and 7.3o p. m, direct for
the theatre, remaining until after the
performance.

Day Fire Works at Peaks Island.

Wednesday is to be most attractive
dav at Peaks Island. There is to be a
grand display of japanese day fireworks,
and Manager McCallum offers in the Pa
vilion the play of "The Baxters, which is
creating such Juror this week. The
fireworks will be displayed from the
field in front of the rink Immediately
after the performance. The exhibition
consists of balloons, bombs, dragons,
pigs, cows, elephants, etc., and will be
a very interesting sight. Taking place
in the daytime it is especially desirable
for the attendance of the young folks.
