Such is the name of the company that
has leased tho spacious store under the Fail
mouth hotel. corner of Union and Middle
streets and placed Mr.. Fred harrington, SO
well known to our citizens, in charge as
local manager. The company is backed by
the well known clothing firm of Fisk & Golf
of Boston. and it il claimed that The large
and varied stock on hand is composed of as
fine ready made goods as can pc found in
the country. Mr.. Fisk is too well known in
Portland to need Introduction, except to
some of the more recent comers. For years
before he went TO Boston he was at Ike
head of the great clothing store located I'M
der the Preble house. and VAS for several
years member of the city government and
president of. the council. Today at a. M,

UNDER A HORSE STALL.
The Deputy MarshaIs and Police Seized
Three Barrels of Ale in a Unique Hiding
Place-Peter Forigan Fined,

In the Municipal Court yesterday. be-
fore Recorder Thompson, three STOUT
and prosperous looking young men,
named Hyde, Sullivan, and Forlgan'
were arraigned on a search ana seizure
case. Thursday afternoon Deputy Mar
shals Sterling and Hartnett and Police
men Frank aud Haggett made raid on
the saloon at No. 81 Centre street. AT
this same place several nights ago Deputy
Sterling found crowd OF men and a
sprinkler of beer, but the bartender
pressed button and Immediately tn
place was in darkness.
The police searhed the premises Thurs
day and found an extraordinary liquor
trap. Under horse stall in stable in
the rear was large pit, in which was a
box about six feet square made of planks.
This was covered the planks, and be-
tween the top and the floor of the stall
was couple of feet of manure and straw.
In the trap were three barrels of ale,
two holding five gallons each and one
IS gallons. A rubber hose led up from
faucets in the barrels A tackle was
found under the counter in the saloon
and the barrels were hoisted out.
VIII Looney appeared for the three
prisoners. Recorder Thompson dismissed
Hyde and Sullivan, but fined Forigan
500 and costs. He declared that he was
only an hostler in the stable, which be-
ionged to Tom O'Neil, and that he knew
nothing of the trap under the horse stall.
But Recorder Thompson thought that
this story was too thin.
The case was appealed. Hyde and Sui
livan were given three months in Jail for
being vaga bonds. They appealed.
These men have been seen by the
police hanging around the rum shop, SO
often that the charge of vagabonds was
brought against them. 1t is new, and
looks like very effective way OF dis
posing of rum sellers and their watchers.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Oliver Twist,

The dramatic successes of former years
are emphasized at intervals by reviyals
with great casts and grand scenic aooes-
sories- Among the great revivals OF re-
cent years may be mentioned "Sardana-
palus" in the 7os, Julius Caesar, with
Barrett, Davenport and Others IN the
leading roles; and Rosedale" one of last
seasons successes. The most prominent
of this seasons revivals is that OF Charles
Dickens's masterpiece, "Oliver Twist,
to be seen at the Portland Theatre next
Tuesday evening. In the cast will be
found such people as FRANK J. keenan,,
Charles Barron, VIM. A. Mestayer and
Miss Elita Proctor Otis, names that
guarantee a production of SURPRISING
interest. Every detail has been attended
to with the most minute attention, the
scenery. costumes and properties hav-
ing been prepared especially for this
presentation.
The Derby Mascot.
At the Portland theatre next Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings "The Derby
Mascot a sensational melodrama, will
receive it's fist presentation in this city.
According to all reports this play COM
bines the best features of comedy, drama
and vaudeville and is furthermore pro-
vided with every equipment necessary
to production of exceptional worth.
The story of the play is laid in the
South. affordIng great opportunities for
the scenic artist. Every advantage has
been taken of these opportunities and
many scenes of great beauty are the re-
suit. The company is one of great
strength, the leading artists being Katie
Rooney. Dolly Theobald, Daisy Dixon,
Belle Stoddard, Randolph Murray, Paul
Menifee and Harry Driscole.
Hawaii.
tiIti is said of the Athletic Clubs pro-
duction of "Hawaiin that it is interest
ing to see how well the Queens part IS
taken BY Mr.. WEIGH, how charmingly Mr..
Barrows dresses and acts the part OF
Aloah, and how gracefully the young
men dance as the Hawaiian Hulahs and
ballet. Add to all these brilliantly
dressed young women the girls of the
chorus, who number some ~ or 10, and
you have in them alone spectacle well
worth seeing. In the first act Mr.. Barrows
does the colored court servant, and in
the second act he is the soubr1tte. A
complete change of dress and color has
to be made in ten minutes. The man
ner in which he plays these two parts is
said to be worthy of a professional. Mr..
Warren and Mr.. Rounds, who made the
hits in injured Innoeenus" last year,
have star parts in Hawaii. Mr.. Han
naford will be the big, clustering Ger
man ambassador, Mr.. Orr the English
man, and Mr.. Wood the Chinaman. AS
a spectacle, Hawaii will be much more
elaborate than any other production ever
attempted by Maine amateurs. Good
seats are still OH sale at Mitchell's ticket

 \ Nfgger and a Mule.

Yesterday afternoon negro who
 sives his hame as Robert Allen offered for sale mule at Williams stable Cow Policeman Smith bought the mule from the negro for $S and then arrested him. When asked how he his mother wiled it to him Police man Peterson then asked the negro to stick out his tongue" 50 that they could tell whether OF not he had lied. The negro obeyed and the officer told him his tongue had lied and that he would lock him up and hold him until something more fleif= nite was found ont concerning the mule.
 The negro occupied inc calaboose last night, hut this morning he WAS committed To iail. He confessed this morning that he had tried to pass q check on merchant named Wabh at Toltec and that when the officer $ got after him he borrowed the mule from his uncle to get away, stating also that his uncle advised him to sell the mule and make his escape to the Indian Territory. Let ters of enquiry have been sent to Toltee, and the supposition is that the negro is an escaped convict and that he stole the mule for the purpose of getting away.

It requests him to employ hereafter home labor. as far as passi- ble, to the exclusion of the foreign ele- ment, which has hitherto operated the plant.
 In 1892 the company purchased 8 acres of land two miles west of hero and developed rich quarries of lime stone. Over 800 workmen are given employment there, and strangely enough nearly all thus far have been Italians or negroes There are at pres ent almost that number of unemployed residents of Logansport, who are anx- lous to get work at any price, and this effort IS being made in their behalf.
 The men heretofore employed at the works have caused considerable trouble on account of their hard drinking, lighting and thieving procliyities. and there IS strong feeling that if Mana ger Casparis rejects the petition serious difficulty may ensne. He is expected to announce his intentions this week.
