thor of "Adonis, "@Old Jed Prouty," and
My Sweetheart Like the old wagon,
it has been painted up brighter than
when new and is ready for it's final run
across the country. 1t will be seen at
Portland Theatre tonight.
When it became known that Manager
Rice was to produce venus at Inc
Park Theatre, Boston, this season, theatre
goers instinctivly knew that 1t would be
presented sumptuously. The entire pro-
duction exceeds the dreams of even Rice's
widest admirers and large audiences have
greeted each performance OF it. The Dos
ton Globe calls it" The hit of the season."
The scenery and costumes are admirably
selected and the mechanical and electrl-
cal effects are brilliant and dazzling.
The music is tuneful and catchy, while
it has more character than that of the
ordinary light opera. The .libretto. is
bright, often witty, and all the time
mirth provoking.
At every performance of "Rosedale"
the spacious Grand Opera House in Bos-
ton has been filled with an audience
largely composed of the fashionable and
cultured element of Boston's society. At
the conclusion of the two weeks run OF
"Rosedalep in Boston the Grand Opera
House will begin it's New England tour.
The production in all the New England
cities and towns will be identical with
that now being given in Boston. The
cast will be the same and will include

OBITUARY.
David Nelson True.

The death of Mr.. David N. True of
South Paris will be sad news to his many
friends in Portland. Mr.. True belonged
to .one of the old families of Cumber-
land county, and was the oldest son Of
the late Samuel True. He was born in
Portland fifty-nine years ago. He re-
ceived his education in the public schools
of this city and at Hebron Academy.
Upon reaching manhood, several years
were spent by him lat New Gloucester,
from which place he removed to South
Paris, where the greater part of his life
has been spent. His business there was
thst of general trader, and he success
fully followed it.for many years. Some
ing Company removed its business to
Portland, Mr.. True purchased the mill
property at South Paris, and succeeded
to its large grain and -four business, in
which business he was engaged up to
the time of his fatal illness. He died
from peritonitis, being sick for less than
ten days.
Mr., True was successful in business,
and was prominent in town and county
affairs. He represented Paris in the
Maine Legislature in 1878 and 1879, and
served on important committees while
at Augusta.
Few men were better known or more
highly esteemed In Oxford county than
David N. True. He was a man of strict
integrity, possessed a high sense of hon
or, was actively engaged in many bust
ness enterprises, and a public spirited
citizen. Considerable and kind-hearted,
he made many friends, to whom the
news OF his death will bring a sense of
personal grief. He leaves widow, and
one brother, Samuel A. True, Esq, of
this city.

The Vendetta.

"The Vendetta" is melo-drama full
of cayenne pepper and mustard, meta
phorically speaking, for, beginning with
a murder at Paris, for which an inno-
cent man is convicted and sent to the
galleys at Toulon, it's action passes with
the blowing up of the prison and escape
of the convicts, a game of baccarat at
Monte Carlo, the collision and wreck of
a steamer at sea, and finally the burn
ing of Paris. The acts are short, the
action rapid, the scenic and stage effects
are very good, and the acting prais-
worthy. W.R. Ogden was strong as the
Count Richardo, and Francis Kingdom
as Eugene De Lorne, Fred Devere as
CASTOR, Arthur Earl as Fred Newport of
Chicago, VIM. Courtney as Gustave and
the other characters were well taken.
The principals were called before the
curtain and the curtain called at the end
of each act.

ter Book.

The controversies that the general
omnibus appropriations bill created in
the senate yesterday were of the most
exciting nature. 1t got nearly all the
members ''on their ears" to borrow the
vernacular of the street. The opposi-
tion that had developed the previous
day was intensified ten-fold, and at one
time it really looked as if it would be
utterly impossible to ever get the
measure into such shape that it would
receive the necessary twenty-eight votes
to pass it. While one senator was
sticking for one sort of an amendment
another had his amendment in prep
aration. AT first there was a
bare majority who were deter
mined that the bill should not
be hampered by any amendment
whatever. but as the senate proceeded in
considering the different provisions. the
majority dwindled down until amend
ments were tackled on. The last Sec
most. feeling. This grew out Of the
Markham bill. The senators who had
killed that measure seemed determined
to give the counties that had been af-
fected sort of peace offering, and
these same counties, or good many of
them, refused the gratuity. After
spending the entire afternoon in wran-
CLING over this section. it was stricken
out, and then the appropriations bill
was passed. 1t will now go to the house
for concurrence in the amendm ents.

DEADwooD, s. d., April 14.-The un-
derground workings of the Deadwood
Terra mine, one of the great Homestake
group, is OIL fire and is burning fiercely.
The fire started in the 200.foot level,
and, it is feared, is eating its way to the
workings of the other mines. which are
all connected. 1t is impossible to flood
the mine, as the fire is on the 200
foot level. and there are four levels
below, reporting depth of 400 feet.
with labyrinthine workings in all direc-
tions. Miners are at work closing, when
the gas and smoke will admit, the con-
nection to other mines. The working
portion has to be rescued by fresh gangs
every half-hOur. All the mines and
mills of the group are shut down, and
1000 men are idle. If the fire eats away
the timber supports in the immense
slopes of chambers, whole acres of the
earth's surface, part of which is densely
settled, will cave i'll. entailing large
loss OF property. The management are
doing all in their power to extinguish
the flames. but they have terrible
fight. Two or three hundred men are
at work, but they make little headway,
being driven back by gas and smoke.
Unless they can eXtinguish it by water,
which now looks doubtful and in fact i'm
possible. the fire must eat itself out.
Dense volumes of smoke and gas are
pouring from the big shaft. People
who are living over this volcano are
preparing to move. The people are not
excited, but calm, having faith in the
management. Nobody is injured. A
large number are overcome by gas and
smoke, but not seriously.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 14.-Re-
gent Shannon has absolutely refused to
call meeting of the board of regents
for the Brookings college, giving as his
reasons that 1t would cost the state $500.
He met the students this morning and
read kilograms from members of the
board, who admitted that they knew
nothing of the trouble. but who said
that they Endorsed the faculty anyway.
and thought meeting of the
board unnecessary. Freudenfelt tele-
graphed: II don't understand what
you are driving at. Better count me
as right side up." Shannon created
sensation by reading to the students a
letter from the faculty ordering that
students not in the class rooms by noon
to day should be suspended, and must
leave the dormitory at once. None of
the students were scared by this, and
none were at class. Over 100 students
will leave Brookings next Monday.
Sheldon, president Of the trustees, is at
Brookings, and it is reported he will
call meeting of the trustees to relieve
them of the responsibility for what now
appears to be the wreck of the school.

persons were held up and robbed early
Ill the night. Shortly after o'clock
they found tramps in coach IN the
Milwaukee yards and went to ar
rest them. The shattered windows,
blood-besmeared floor and general
wreck of the interior of the car show
that the tramps and policemen had a
desperate struggle. The officers appar-
emily were fired upon before they had
time to draw their weapons. and re-
ceived wounds from which both died
almost Immediately. Though the city
and surrounding country has been

they be arrested, desperate attempt

The st. Paul Mans Decree-Cru-
city Was the Complaint.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D., April 14.-Mrs.
Todd's attorney here has just received
copies of the papers in the divorce
action brought by w. r. Todd. The
decree was granted at Yankton, s. d.
Dec. 81, 1892, by Judge Smith, on the
grounds of cruelty and desertion. Notice
was give1 by publication, the plaintiff
swearing that Mrs. Todd was in st.
Paul, but that he could find no other
address. A copy of the complaint was
mailed to her at st. Paul, Oct. 20. Mr..
Todd swears that six months after the
marriage in 1866 she began to abuse
him, and kept it up until he left her in
August. 1891. He says she threw a
clock at his head, hit him with a rock
ing chair, and threatened to poison him.
Mrs. Todd's attorney will at once begin
action to have the decree set aside ON
the ground of fraud.
