THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
Picturesque Hawaii'' Can Now be
Obtained at the Press Portfolio
Department.

a Fine Series of Eight Parts Illustrating
These Famous Islands. Part of the
Potter Bradley Atlas Is Another Late
Arrival
We have added few sets to our stock
of portfolios of a series of finely illustrated
numbers describing the islands of
Hawaii. This series consists of eight
parts. each part containing IL or more
ngravings and 16 pages of descriptive
matter. This series complete contains
106 engravings. illustrating completely
this most picturesque locality. The Sc
ries is edited by Hon. John l.. Stevens,
ex-United States minister to Hawaii,
and Professor W. B. Oleson of Honolulu,
for Is years president Of kahemahema
College. The descriptions accompanying
the epgrayings are by Miss Nellie M.
Stevens A fine portrait Of Mr.. Stevens
is given in part one.
The proximity of these islands to
America make the of unusual interest
to Americans, outside of the late political
interest which has been attached to
them. They are nearer to San Francisco
than that city is to Chicago, fact no t
generally known to those not well posted
in the geography of the g Pacific. There
can be found strange mixture of the
civilized and the uncivilized, and the
wild savage, with his Hula dances and
grass huts, can be found in close prox
unity to churches, colleges and public
buildings that would be an honor to
any American city. The climate is
tropical, and the luxuriant vegetation
furnishes a subject for a number
beautiful engravings. The products of
the islands, banana plants, sugar cane,
rice fields. pineapple ranches, ETC., are
all represented by excellent engravings.
No. 5 is devoted to the volcanoes, VIII ich
are, as is we'll known, among the most
terrible in existence. Portraits of the
leading native rulers are given, to-
gether with those of the members of the
Provisional Government and those con-
nected with the late uprising on both
sides of the affair. The natives and
their peculiar customs are all represent
ed in the various numbers, and their
dwellings are shown, side by side with
the m ore elegant establishments of their
white neighbors. The engravings are
of large size, and are finely printed on
heavy paper We have all eight mum
bers in stock. and they can be obtained
for one coupon and 10 cents each; any
coupon that has been printed in the
PERSS heing good for this series. Part
is the latest number received for the
Potter-Bradley Atlas. Like the :preced-
ing numbers it contains four large maps
each accompanied by complete index.

Twenty-Four Thousand Quarts of Straw
berries Yesterday

The Strawberries are not more numerous
in our markets this year than ever before,
though the low price has given that i'm
preston. There is no better crop than
usual, but the hard times has caused the
low price In Boston and other great
centres the large dealers have realized that
the people haven't the. money to pay for
luxuries like strawberries, this year, and
therefore since the fruit is perishable and
must be sold the price has been placed
where the people can pay it. Yesterday
morning 400 crates of Strawberries, from the
Middle States came to Portland by express.
At go quarts in crate, that make $4,000
quarts, which is a large number for Port
land in one day. On one occasion last year
600 crates arrived in "a day. No strawberries
will arrive today because they would have
to have been shipped on Sunday. That is
the reason that more arrive on Tuesdays.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Countess for a Day.

Parlor opera reigned at the Portland
Theatre last night, when the Ideal Opera
Company of Boston brought out Balfe's
Countess for a Day." 1t queer
medley. Poor Balfe would have held
up his hands in horror at the liberties
taken with his work. 1t was a mixture
of spectacle, opera. variety, and farce.
The story is simple one. Lucastro, a
magician, calls up the various spirits
to help punish the Countess of Linster
for her disagreeable ways, and Hermann,
basket maker, fer his cruelty to his
wife. The Countess becomes the Basket
Makers wife, and his wife the Countess
FOR Day. 4 IS result. the real coun-
Tess and basket maker are only too glad
20 promise to be good if they can be re-
iurned to their former condition.
The third act is the best part of the
opera. In it Miss Wagner gained an en-
core for her rendering of the music
lesson. In the first act, Mr.Dodd, who
assumed the role of Albert, also received
an encore for his quite taking variety
song, 1.-THE Only Man." The other char
acters were taken with more or less sue
cess by Misses May Boshey, Idalia Irv-
ing. and Inez Crabtree. Messrs. Robert
Hall and Ebert Couch. Miss Mathild
Russell APPEARED in several dances. There
was very good audience present.
The County Fair.
The final performances in this city of
Neil Burgess great success, "The County
Fair" are announced to occur at the
Portland Theatre Monday and Tuesday
evenings of next week. This play and
1.-THE Old Homestead undoubtedly hold
the attentions of our theatre goers more
strongly than any others that could
be mentioned, and the mere announce
ment of it's farewell performance is a
guarantee for crowded houses. This
morning the advance sale of seats opens
at the box Office
The diploma Of the Rossini Club, and
also those of the Misses knight and
Kicker will be in Stock BRIDGES window,
on and after Tuesday for few days.
Carmencita, the Spanish dancer, is to
make new departure next winter She
is to appear rs singer as well as a
dancer, but not in the usual song and
dance" style. She will sing the charac-
teristic and romantic songs of Spain, in
the execution of which she has no peer
in this country, though a score of imita-
tors are now TO be seen in the music
halls.
The disputed cloak dance introduced
by l.olo Yberri was the popular hit at
the Eden Musee, New York, last week.
A gold embroidered Spanish acket, a
yellow-and-black dancing ski1t, and a
gorgeous satin mantilla of crimson.
lined with gold, contribute largely to
the grace and beauty of the dance.
Yberri wears the cloak in the torn con-
dition inflicted last week by Tortajada,
the other Spanish dancer at the Eden
Musee, who grew jealous of Yberri's
growing popularity
Campanini is in London, where he is
to sing at charity concert. London

Most people would think it queer that the
refrigerator is the proper place to keep
crackers, cookies, etc. There never was a
better place. When kept in Leonard re-
frigerator they remain as fresh and crisp as
when first baked. The ''cleanable'' air is
cold and dry, and cold, dry air is necessary
for the proper preservation of meats and
provisions. See them at Hooper, Son &

and kindred subjects. The young men
asserted their ability to start at Wheel

tramp to New Orleans by July 4th. and
reach that city with $500 each. A well
known gentleman offered to wager 500

and Fred Wooster, the bartender at
the house, promptly covered the money.
The start will be made tonight at the
Green House. The young men will lay

The decision Of the Supreme Court
upon the civil service law is eagerly
awaited and is expected TO be rendered
soon. The test case, IN which the opin-
ion is expected, was instituted By a gov
srnmente mploye who had been discharg-
ed. Claiming that the civil service law
prohibited his discharge, the suit was
bsourht for reinstatement, and the bear
inz Of the law upon removals will be
passed upon by the Cours.
Wha1ever may &c the opinion Of the
Court, there is but one construction
which, according 10 the evidence Of
those who framed the measure, can be
placed upon it, The sole intention OF
the makers OF the law was 20 protect
the public service by keeping out in
competent persons, their competency 70

ton. There was no intention Of Great
ing an Office holding class, a permanent

resignation alone may change, so long
as there is no improper conduct. Such
construction was probably never
thought Of by the trainers of the bill and
certainly was not intended by those
who passed it.
The Court may decide the matter as
it will, but it can never cOnvincs the
people OF this country that the public
service requires 4 class Of permanent
