MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Fancllon

EanCnOn.
Fast Day evening Miss Katherine Rob-
Ell, SO popular with Portland Theatre pa
irons, will appear as Fanchon in the
drama of that name. There will be no
afternoon performance as was at first
intended. Miss Rober has been seen
here in the role, and it is one of her best
assumptions Among those who will
support the little lady are lola Pomroy,
Martha Conway, Chas. Burnham, Gamer
on Clements and James Hall.
Gilmore's Band.
The matinee and evening concerts to
be given by Gilmore's great band, D. w.
Reeves, leader, at City Hall, April Goth,
shall crowd the house. One of the con-
certs will be complimentary to Mr.. Ira
G. Stockbridge, and that fact alone should
draw out the public en- masse. Tickets
are now on sale at Stockbridge's.
The Hustler
An exchange speaking of the farce
comedy, ''The Hustler" to be seen at
Portland Theatre tonight, says:
One great thing in favor of this roll
licking play is the manner in which the
performance moves along. Everything
goes with snap and vigor and not mo-
inent's time is wasted. The amusing
scenes and incidents and spec;alties fol-
low each other in rapid succession and
without conflicting with each other. The
musical portion of the production is
very interesting, the songs-solos and
concerted pieces-being of the latest
compositions and very artistically
rendered. The March of the Hussars,
the serpentine dance and the various
other specialties are all that the most
fastidious could ask for. For the laugh
of life time. go and see s'The Hustler, =
and if George F. Marion. Gus Mills,
Harry Watson, John Gilroy, Barney
Reilly, Sadie Kirby and the rest of the
company don't convulse you with
laughter, then we will miss our guess.

BASE BALL.
Portlands All Ready to Open the Season
Tomorrow.

Some of the Portland players arrived
in town last night and the remainder
will be here today in readiness to open
the season tomorrow East Day., ON the
Deering grounds, with the Bowdoins.
The Portlands will be the first of the
New England League clubs to put a
complete team of players on the diamond
this spring. This early start will do the
club no harm, if the players, especially
the new ones, do not over-exert them
selves in their effort to create favorable
impression with the spectators, for this
climate is not conducive to hard base
ball work in April
If the weather is propitious, there
should be an interesting game, as the
college boys have been practicing all
winter in the cage and gymnasium.
The following letter from Lowell
would indicate that that city will be wei
represented: "The outlook for a sue
cessfu1 season of base ball on the part of
the new Lowell club of the New Eng
and League is encouraging. The club
will be under the joint control OF ex-
Umpire Mahoney and ex-Manager NC
Gunnigle of the Brocktons. They are
negotiating with the Horse Railway
Company with the hope Of securing alo
in getting grounds in Dracut, a snort DIS
lance from the city. The directors OF
the company view the scheme in favor
able light The proposed location is
but few minutes ride on the electric
cars from the city. Manager Leonard,
formerly of the Portlands, is anxious to
manage the Lowells.'
Charles Farrell, of last years Man
chesters. will play in the Southern
League.
Umpire Mcclure of last years New
England League, will probably be reap
pointed.
FLYNN of last years Portlands, has
signed to catch for the Southbrige, Mass,
club.
1t is reported that Shannon of last sea-
sons Brocktons, and Shea, the third
baseman of the same club, will sign
with the Providence club under Bnrn-
ham. the old Portland manager.
The Fall River Base Ball Company OF.
this league, will be organized under the
laws of Maine, with a capital stock OF
$500, and all but $500 of this amount
has been subscribed for. Work was be-
gun Monday on the new grounds. 4
new grand stand to accommodate 1000
people, is in process of construction. The
local " NJ. G. Association is lending ma
terial aid to the Fall Rivers.
After all, Frank Leonard may manage
the Lewistons.
The new pitching rules may affect
left-handed pitchers more than right
handlers.
The Boston management must have
lost at least $4,000 on account of the
storm on Fast Day. That was the. sec
ond time that snow had cut such cap
er in Boston on that day with the ball
games.

Materials For the Dinner.

The materials for dinner should be the
best obtainable, the meat good and the
vegetables fresh. The cooking should
be carefully and properly done. Indi-
gestible things, or those which disagree
with the individual, should be eschewed.
After the meal, the diner should rest or
have some light occupation for an hour,
or, still better, two. He should neither
undertake active physical exercise-not
even moderately rapid walking nor
should he study, think over business or
occupy his mind seriously in any way

RATHER AwKwARD.-A pretty
Mexican lady recently purchased
some yards of material at one of
our large dry goods stores.
At the time of her visit she was
not conversant with English and an
American friend made her pur-
chases for her.
Last week, happening to be in the
city and in want Of 'gingham,' she
went to the same establishment,
this time alone.
'Haff you re iimjams:' she in
quired.
Of course the gentlemanly clerk

FACTS WORTH KNowING.-The
famous "seven sleepers" were, ac-
cording to an early legend, seven
noble youths of Ephesus, who fled
from persecution and concealed
themselves in a cave. Their en-
emies discovered them and walled
them in to starve them to death.
However. instead Of starving, they
went to sleep and slept for two
hundred years. Their names were:
Denis, John, Malchus, Serapion.
Martinian, Maximian and Constan-
tine.
One million dollars in gold coin
weighs 1856 pounds nre -c;liiop
dnll.rs II s;lror, coin Weighs oo,5<l
pounds.
The word "carat" comes from
the Abyssinian word for bean. A
carat corresponds in weight with a
certain species of East Indian bean,
and was originally only used as IA
weight.
The word "cash" is derived from
the Italian caSsa, the chest in
which Italian merchants kept their
money, as do at the present time
the Spaniards in their cga, the
Portuguese in their cara, and the
French in their caisse.
Hats were first introduced by a
Swiss artist in Paris, in 14G4.
The Magi, or three wise men,
who brought gifts to the infant
Jesus were, Melchior, who brought
gold Jasper, offering frankincense,
and Balthazar, who offered myrrh.
The origin of the dollar dates
from July 6, 1885. Previous to
that time the English pound was
in use in the colonies.
Steel pens were invented in 1903,
by Mr.. Wise, of England.

Well, there Ire many memorable
occasions id the life of mountain
pioneer, bat this one Is worth re-
cording.
The old prospector, declining the
proffered Havana, proceeded to ill
his pipe with considerable delibera-
ton, as he settled down on huge
boulder. The crisp, bright air of
a beautiful October morning lent
additional vigor and energy to eve-
ry faculty.
took a survey of the old man
before he proceeded with his story.
Grizzled hair and beard, and
slight stoop of the shoulders, be-
spoke years of toll and expectation
expectation unfulfilled but ever
fresh with each recurring spring.
Little does humanity estimate the
debts it owes these hardy pioneers,
who have led the way across steep
and dangerous trails, delving con-
stantly beneath the soil to open
to the world its treasnre-yaults.
Onward they go, as civilization fol-
lows, to still more unexplored re-
gions, until the very heart Of the
Sierras is like an open book. And
when the last pick is struck, when
life's fuse has burned itself ont,
stone pile perchance marks the last
resting-place of a hero, whose kind
is now almost extinct.

wages were tolerably fair even for
the West, it was slow progress to-
ward getting rich-too slow, in fact,
when one could hear every day as
how the boys were making rich
strikes and selling out their claims
at big figure.
"That spring a young fellow had
come out from the States and gone
to work in the store. He was
very quiet sort of a fellow,-had lit
tie to say to anyone and was good
worker. But there was something
on his mind. A blind man could
have noticed it, because he would
stop sometimes in the middle of his
work, and get to thinking and
studying. He was little more
communicative toward me than the

WASHING FLANNELs.-Flannels
should always be washed by them
selves in suds prepared for them;
on no account TO be rubbed on the
board, unless very dirty. The suds
should be pleasantly warm to the
hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while the fan
neIs are in the tnb. They should
be rinsed in clean water Of the same
temperature as the washing suds,
and as many waters used as may be
necessary to take the soap out, as
the fannels will never be soft with
the soap left in them. They should
never be blued. They should be
pulled in shape before hanging, nm
dershirts being hing from the
shoulders. They should never be
hung out OF doors in freezing wealth
er, but quickly dried before the fire,
or, better, over the register, and
pressed as soon as dry enough.
