MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Emma Eames Concert Co.

The concert season of 1894 will have
a most brilliant close Monday evening
at City Hall. Nine. Emma Eames will
be greeted by host of friends from the
homes of her childhood, and young
womanhood, who will wish to testify to
their respect and admiration for one who
has done SO much to make her country
known and respected abroad by the force
of her natural gifts, improved by in
telligent study. There will be great in
terest eyineed to hear the new London
tenor, Mr. Davies, while the favorite
eontralto, Miss Edmunds, and the cele-
brated Adamowski Quartette will prove
great attractions. Good seats still remain
on sale at Stock bridges.
People who have had reserved seats
laid aside for them at Stock BRIDGES,
must call for them today or they will be
sold.
High School Musical
Next Monday evening at Assembly
hall, High School building, the class of
'94 will give.a concert, the proceeds to
go towards new piano for the use OF
the school. The programme will be at
tractiye. and tickets can be secured at
Stock BRIDGES. There will be no re-
served seats.
DEVILS Auction.
Large houses will undoubtedly wit
ness the performances of Yale's newest
DEVILS Auction at the Portland Theatre
next week. Three performances are to
be given Friday and Saturday evenings
and Saturday matinee. The sale of seats
opens at the box office this morning.
To those who have seen "The DEVILS
Auction" in previous seasons the pro-
duction will be veritable revelation.
Tt has been renewed in all the important
features, and the Improvement will be
readily apparent. 1t is no exaggel alton
to say that nothing SO new
and SO handsome has been
seen in this city in many years; it is one
continual series of SURPRISES. The trans
formation scene, the Vieunese troupe of
dances, the Pierrots. the corps de ballet,
the tum bling, the brilliant divertlsse-
ments and marches, all are new, while
wealth OF special, scenery adds complete
ness toward magnificent whole
Esssasa Notes.
Mr.. aBobbyn Richardson has received
notice that members of the Denman
Thompson company for next season OF
the aOld Homestead" will begin rehearsal

10 the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press;
Learning of the cowardly act that was
committed in District No,2 Cumberland,
and being personally interested in the
school, I cannot refrain from saying
a few words. The schoolhouse was
steaIthily entered and a picture OF Gen
ersl Il arrison at the battle of Resaca
was taken and destroyed. Why? Be-
cause it was the picture of a Republican
Mr.. Editor, | think you will agree
with me in saying that only low, ignor-
ant, narrow minded, bigoted person could.
be guilty of such piece OF work. II
the Democratic party has got where it
hassto be guarded SO carefully that the
picture of Republican President and
General cannot hang on the wall of a
DIT bic building it indeed has become
weak and degraded and is unworthy the
patronage of true liberal-minded men.
The instigator of this mean aot-and
his name in the minds of many needs
not public mention-has disgraced his
party and committed an act which no
true Democrat would excuse. Not only
has be hurt himself tenfold more than
anyone else, but he has grossly lnsulted
the people of his community. and If he
is brought before the public he will find
he has lost the respect and good will
of the people. He has insulted the school
committee, and if the committee would
leave party lines he could show that
no act of this character could be COM
mit4ed in a civilized place. The influence
of this deed over the children if left
UNPUBLISHED may be very great. and GER
tainly is not good.
This coward has not only challenged
the power of the school committee but
has defied the laws of the State of Maine.
Under the school laws he is liable to
fine, and by the statute laws fine and
Imprisonment. If the author of this
mean, contemplate deed had ha d the
least particle of character he would have
come like an honest man to the proper
person. instead of prowling around like
a sneak thief, entering public buildings
and destroying public property.

Rev. Israel Luce.

To the Editor of the Press:
The many friends Of the above named
gentleman will be pleased to know that
be has been re-appointed associate pas
tor of Chestnut street church for anoth-
er year. He originally came to this
church many years 40, when it was SUI
fering severely from internal divisions
among it's own members, and after a
very successful passionate of three years,
left it strong, united, prosperous
church and society. Much of the pros
perity of this old historic church since
BIO became it's associate pastor, is due to
him for his quiet, energetic, faithful
pastoral work among the people. He
makes no flourish of trumpets" but,
whether in the pulpit, in the Sunday
school or visiting among the people, he
is the same faithful minister of Christ,
efficiently doing his Masters work more
anxious to meet His approval than to
gain the applause of the multitude.

They Played with Dynamite.

TUNKHANNoCK, Pa, Aug. 29.-One boy
was killed and another horribly injured
as the result of playing with dynamite
near this village. Alexander Preston was
digging a well on his farm in North More
land township, using dynamite to blast
away the rock in the hole. One stick oi
the explosive became wet, and he put it on
a nearby rock to dry. Harry Preston, Il
years old, and Lee Preston, aged 7, two oi
the farmers SOUS, amused themselves by
exploding the dynamite by dropping q
stone upon it. The force of the discharge
threw Harry a distance of fifty feet, kill
ing him instantly, while Lees head was
crushed by flying rock. 1t is reported that

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS


Closing Hours.
WAsHrNGToN. Aug 20-Tbe eventful
second session Of the Fifty-third congress
closed In the senate without q ripple on
the surface TO mark the fact The spirit
Of peace seemed to pervade the chamber,
and the last days session was as duh as
10 was peaceful. The greatest effort Of the
few senator's remaining on deck was TO
kill time during the two hours interven-
ing between assembling and adiourninR,
and this they did by a succession Of short
recesses, The usual resolutions Of thanks
TO the presiding officers, Vice President
Stevenson and President Pro Tenn. Harris
were offered by Senators Quay and Man
derson, and were adopted unanimously.
The close of the second session of the
house OF representatives was the tamest
In years It was absolutely devoid of in
teresting features Although the galleries
were crowded there were not more than
seventy-hve of the 356 members on the
floor The usual committee was appointed
20 wait on the president and inform him
that congress was ready TO adjourn. A
resolution to print copies of a comparison
of the new tariff bill with the Wilson bill
and the Mckinley law encountered the
enmity of Mr.. Johnson, of Ohio, who
did not think the comparison prepared
under the direction of Senator Gorman)
revealed all the facts and a deadlock en-
sued which forced a recess until just be
fore O'clock when, after an unsuccessful
attempt 20 pass several local bills by
unanimous consent, the speaker declared
congress adjourned sine die. ~
