NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATERs.

The engagement of Peter +. Daley in the
new farce comedy, THE Night Clerk"
which Will begin at the Academy Monday
night, will extend through the week. No
comedian is more welcome in this city than
Mr.. Daley, and deservedly so. For the
past two years he has toured most success
fully as the star of "A Country Sport" and
this season, with a new comedy from the
pen of the came author, John ]. McNally,
his tour should be even more prosperous than
those that have gone before.
All reports regarding 'The Night Clerk"
are commendable, and it seems a certainty
that Mr.. McNally has fitted Mr.. Daley bet
ter than ever before. The piece itself is said
TO be immoderately funny. The equipment
that has been bestowed on THE Night
Clerk" is unusually elaborate, and eni-
braces every scene OF the three acts of the
play. Every movable article is carried by
the company, and many novel electrical de.
vices have been added to lend brilliancy to
the scene.

The New Golf Champion.

Charles B. Macdonald, who recently
won tho golf championship of the United
States, is q Scotchman. He was born at
St. Andrews, and was graduated from
its celebrated university. On the famous
st. Andrews links he learned the game
and ranked high as golfer when he came
to America several years ago. He is now
living in Chicago, where he organized the
Chicago Golf club last year. Previous TO
the recent championships his most notable
victory this year was won in the interna-
tional tournament at Niagara on the
Lake, Canada, the first week in Septem-
Der, when he defeated the Canada cham
pion, A. W. Smith, by one hole. Macdon-
aid is TALL powerful man, and tremen-
dous driver being easily able to send a
ball from $50 to 200 yards. He is, how
ever, an exceedingly nervous player, and
little difficulties over the course have q
tendency to weaken his play.

A queer case of the restoration of lost
property occurred few days ago, by
which Edward Moves. received his insu'
ance policy which has been missing for IL
years. At that time Mr.. Noyes had on in
surance placed on his lie. The agent
while on his way to deliver the policy to
Mr. NOyes, was thrown out of bis sleigh,
and during the adventure, lost the policy.
A duplicate was issued and delivered to
Mr.. Noyes and nothing was heard from
the original one till last week, when it
was sent here from Lewiston, where the
agent lived who had made it out. 1t
seems that after the accident in which the
agent lost the first policy. a certain French
man, who could not read or speak English,
came along and picked up the piece of
paper, and, judging it to be some valuable
document, gave it to another Frenchman
to restore to its proper owner. This
second man was about packing up his
household goods, previous to moving out
West, and in some manner the insurant
policy was packed away in one of his
trunks and carried to his Chicago home.
He returned to Maine short time ago and
again took up his residence in Lewiston,
when he undertook the job of hunting up
the owner of the pager. He recognized
the name of the agent who made out The
policy and going to his office, delivered il
to him, who in turn forwarded 1t to

The people of the city who are the
patrons of the Electric Light Company are
complaining very much at the service
which the company is giving at the pre-
sent time. There certainly seems TO be
good ground for kicking" from the
fact that for the past two or three weeks
the lights on the incandescent circuits
have been SO poor that, only feeble light
is received from the lamps. OF course at
the present time the cause of the trouble
is the extremely low water in the river,
which fails to give required power to run
the dynamo up to the high speed neces-
sary. Only few months ago, the lights,
for fortnight or longer, were as poor or
poorer than they are at present. That was
during the time Of the high water, last
spring. So it goes throughout the whole
year. the incandescent lights are unreli-
able on account Of the uncertainty in the
rise and fall of the water in the river. The
company has large patronage, in fact too
large for the present dynamo in ordinary
water, for there are large number
of lamps on the circuit more than the ma
chine was designed to carry, so giving weak
lights even under the most favorable cou-
ditions of the pitch of water Now at this
Sc cond difficulty, arising as 1t does from
the opposite extreme of the one last
spring, the people are inquiring why re-
serve power of steam cannot be put in for
just such emergencies. All are payip g
rates for frst-class service and feel that
they ought to have it, and unless there is
something done to make the power more
reliable, the indications are that many
will go back to the kerosene lamps, which
can be depended upon, even though they
are trifie Inconvenience.
