"a NIGHT OFF"
A Crowded House Greets the Well
Known Comedy.

A crowded house greeted the
DALEY Company on Saturday
night. The play was a comedy,
and kept the audience in laughter
from the raising of the curtain un-
til the end of the last act.
The plot is a simple one. A
college professor, who lives in NOR
tai terror of his wife, finds in an old
chest a Roman tragedy, which he
had written during his college
days. Soon after this discovery
a theatrical troupe happens to come
to the town, and the manager per-
suades the professor to allow his
tragedy to be produced. The pro-
fessor's wife and younger daughter
are away on a visit, but return
home unexpectedly, shortly after
the arrangements for the produc-
ton are completed. The professor,
however, is so delighted TO think
that he will see his darling tragedy
on the stage, that he resolves to
take the chance that his wife will
not find out that he is the author,
and the arrangements proceed.
The tragedy, needless to say, is
a dire failure, principally through
a parrot, which persists in crying,
''Kiss me, darling" during the
most impassioned scenes, and ruin
ing what little dramatic effect
there is. Numerous funny
complications, are the result of the
professors efforts to keep all knowl-
edge of the affair from his wife, but
all ends happily, of course.
Louis Belmour, as the professor,
was capital. His abject terror of
his wife and his delight in the pro-
duction of the tragedy were well
simulated. Al Hallett, as Snapp,
the manager, was also very clever,
and was a big favorite with the
audience. Mortimer Snow, as the
professors son-in-law, did not have
as much to do as usual, bet he did
it well. Kate Dalgleish, as the
professors daughter, Nisbe, was
very clever. The weak portions of
the cast were Miss Kittie Belmour
as the professors wife, and Richard
Scott as Mr.. Mulberry, friend of
the professor. The former neither
spoke her lines loud enough nor
distinctly. At times, those in the
cantar of the house could not hear
what she was saying.
Tomorrow evening the "Silver
King" will be presented. The play
is a most interesting one, and a
great favorite among theater goers.
Manager Dailey's scenic artist has
been hard at work for some time
on special scenery for this produc-
ton, and some fine effects are ex-
pected.

The Sailors Strike for $25.

While $25 is none too much this cold
weather, as one man said in regard to the
sailors wages yesterday, the true expla-
nation of the recent increase of the sail
ors'.. pay from $40 to S25 per month is due
to scarcity of sailors and plenty of
vessels. 1t has been difficult to secure
men in Boston lately. Hence the in
crease of the wages. just as soon as the
men are plenty and the vessels scarce the
price is likely to 60 down.
"I'm willing to pay good man s25 a
month";" said one captain of large
schooner, "but I've had men that were
not worth IS cents month";"
He went on to say that month ago
he shipped crew in New York for SIG
a month.
Another captain spoke up and said
that wages to 60 to the West Indies were
$14 and SIS month at New York.
Certainly $25 is none too much, and it
is to be hoped that when the present
conditions change and men are plenty
and vessels scarce the Sailors Union can
still keep up this entirely reasonable
wage. But the trouble is that SO many
men who are Objectionable. to say the
least, are found among the sailors, the
when work is scarce they take low
wage and crowd out better men.

Mr.. HACKS INSTALLATION.
New Pastor is Formally Devoted to the
Care of the Second Parish Congregations
al Church Interesting Exercises.

A good sized audience attended the In
stallation services Wednesday evening OF
Rev. Rollin T.Hack. the tenth pastor of the
Second Parish church.
After the organ voluntary and the
anthem. the report of the council was read
by Rev. S. n. Adams, the scribe. Mr..
Adams also read from the Scriptures. aftel
which prayer was offered by Rev. Dwight
NJ. Pratt. pastor of Williston church. After
the response In Heaven the Stars are Now
Shining" Rev. DR.. Fem. Of High street
church. gave out the hymn No. 1907.
The sermon of the evening was then
preached by Rev. q. A. Dickinson. now OF
Berkeley Temple, Eoston, but an old pastor
of the Second Parish. His text was the
familiar passage describing the poor woman
who touched Christ's garment in the
simplicity of her faith that good Woulo
thereby come to her. The subject OF the
sermon was the relation of the church TO
CHI ist and His gospel. 1t was an interesting
and able discourse, giving the modern view
of the functions and duties of the church.
In conclusion he spoke pleasantly and
gratefully of his old time experiences as
pastor of the Second Parish church.
The installing prayer was made by hev.
DR., James G. Merrill, the former pastor.
and now editor of the Christian Mirror.
In extending the right hand of fellowship.
Rev. A. H. Wright said that he expressed
the greeting not only of the Second Parish
church, but of the Cumberland conference.
He was glad that the church had invited
Maine man, and a graduate of Bangor semi
nary. Portland had not often enough locked
to the home seminary for her pastors. Mr..
Wright referred to the fact that he also was
from Bangor seminary, and had also
preached at Belfast. The grandest oppor-
tunity this city affords for the ministry of
the word was to be found in the Second
Parish church. By its location IL the city
and BY its traditions the Second Parish was
devoted to great work.
The veneral Rev. DR.. J. S. Sewall OF Ban
gor Theological Seminary. delivered the
charge to the pastor. In your labors here,
both as preacher and pastor. seek to make
the attractions more powerful than the Ie-
pulsions,' was the advice upon which most
stress was laid. The beauties of the faith,
rather than the terrors of condemnation,
should be made prominent. 1t was no way
to try to win heaven by making earth
hell.
The address to the people was delivered
by Rev. DIR. @. H. Daniels, now secretary
of the American Board, and predecessor of
DR.. Merrill as pastor of the church.
Rev. Asa Dalton, D. D., in giving the ad-
dress of weloo ONE from the sister churches,
recalled som. interesting "reminiscences of
DR.. Payson.
After singing hymn No. 1177. the benedic-
ton was pronounced by the pastor, and the
installation was over.
