MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Jeffreys Lewis.

J0lIT0yS A0Wlbs
Jeffreys Lewis is certainly one of the
most remarkable actresses before the
public. and in genius, magnetism and
power over her audiences, it is doubtful
if there are English speaking actresses
her superior. Friday evening she will
be seen as the beautiful Stephanie de
Mohrienart," in the intensely interesting
society drama ''Forget Me Not" At the
matinee Saturday, Sardou's celebrated
play "Clothilde," will be given, and Sat-
urday evening she will appear in her
original creation of the beautiful Rus
sian Geraldine These are all power
full characters which she has made fam
GUS by her splendid impersonations, and
the engagement here promises to be
notable one.
Wilbur Opera Company.
Frank Darling, the musical director of
the Wilbur Opera Company has his
hands full. The organization have
repertoire of 80 operas which keeps them
in constant rehearsal. Mr.. Darling. in,
addition to attending the regular rehear-
sails each day Of the company, is obliged
to hold special rehearsals for new Choir
us people at 10 each morning. Only one
with a practical experience of the i'm
mense amount of labor that this means
can appreciate the statement. Most of
the opera choruses must be sung with
exactness, at least with an attention to
time. To keep the chorus with its con-
slant changes SO that it will sing each
number with some degree of correctness
means continued practice. Few music
ians envy Mr.. Darling's position. The
company will appear at Portland Thea
tire commencing March Goth.
The seidI Concert.
The programme offered for the Seid-
night, March 18th, at City Hall, is re-
markable one. Not only does the sui
perb Seidl orchestra appear and Mile.

voice has delighted and charmed Port
land audiences before, but such soloists
as Amanda Fabris, Garcia Reigg and
Gertrude Stein will be in the cast, as
sisted by chorus of 16 picked voices. 1t
lis Wagner's operas given in the best
possible manner by the highest talent.

vEILINGS.

We are now showing very large line of the
most desirable shades and styles in
the following kinds Of veIlngs.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-03-10

Mr.. Drummond read portions of the
city charter, section IL, and following,
providing for the election of municipal
officers, and directing the ward clerk to
deliver to the candidates certificates of
the election, etc. He then went over the
figures of the returns again, and said
that from them the Republicans claimed
the election of all their candidates.
"Wen, why wern't They Elected?'
asked the judge in a tone implying that
he could see but one answer to the ques-
ton.
Upon this there was burst of APP
plause in the court room and general
laugh.
This seemed to relieve Mr.. Drummond
from any further argument, and to throw
the burden upon the defence.
Mr.. Strout said: 81 think can salts
fly Your Honor from the returns in two
minutes why they were not elected. The
whole number Of ballots received was
1907. Take the vote for Mr.. Cousens,
the highest on the Republican side, and
for Mr.. Hicks, the highest on the Demo-
cratic side; add the prohibition vote and
the scattering vote, and you have 1907,
without counting the blanks. The Re-
publican candidates did not have ma
jority Of the 1907 votes, hence they were
not elected. The return shows that the
blank votes were not counted at all. That
is my answer"
Mr., Drummond said: ssThe return
shows that the whole number of ballots
was 1907, of which "a were blank ballots,
and If that doesn't mean that the blank
ballots were counted then the English
language means nothing.
Mr.. Strout said: mot at all. The re-
turns show that there were 1871 ballots
and "a pieces of paper"
Here ensued some questions from the
judge as to whether the ballots had been
preserved, and if not why not. Mr..
Strout's reply was that the law did not
direct the preservation Of the ballots.
After considerable repetition of the
arguments, pro and con, about the way
to figure the vote, Mr.. Strout failed to
convince Judge Walton, who finally
said:
"Mr. Strout, put the question to you
originally, why did not the man who had
5o4 votes have moro than one half Of the
votes for common oou1cilman?'
Mr.. Strout went into an explanation
about the Australian system Of voting,
all tho votes being ono ballot, upon
which the court saids
