Little Lord Fauntleroy,

Six years ago Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett's dramatizatioL of her beauti-
fnl story for children, "Little Lord
Fauntleroy," was first given to the pub
lie, the initial production in this ooun-
try being at the old Boston Museum. 1t
hecame the craze of thousands was pre-
sented throughout the United States.
Canada, England and Australia with
wonderful success. The play proved as
fascinating as the book, pleasing young
and old alike. 1t has been nearly five
years since the play has been seen in this
city. so tnat the revival to be given at
the Portland Theatre this evening and
tomorrow afternoon and evening should
prove unusually attractive. The CON-
pany under the management of Mr.. A.
II. Dexter which is to present the play
contains two very strong local favorites,
Miss Annie Clark and Mr.. James Horne.
Miss Clark is the best known actress III
New England today, made SO by her
long connection with the Boston Mu-
scum. Mr.. Horne has been leading man
with Bartley McCallum's company at
Peaks Island for two seasons and is to
return the coming summer. The part OF
Cedric Enrol, the boy lord, is to be
played by little Annie Laughlin, q
charming girl eight years of age, pretty,
bfight-eyed and a born actress Miss
Matte Beaumont will be seen as Mrs.
Enrol, better known as Dearest.
A pleasing feature of the matinee per-
formance tomorrow will be the giving
of an orange tea to the children present
by the little lord. The tea will be given
upon the stage after the last act. and
all present will have an opportunity tc
meet Fauntleroy's charming impersona
tor. A dainty lunch will be served. Pop
uIar prices are announced for the matt
nee, which will be the last of the present

plodes under concussion. At present the
police are handling the bulbs very
cautiously.
Street Superintendent Staples, who is
an expert in the use OF nitro-gly cerine,
says that if the fluid is really that ex-
plosive, one of the bulbs thrown to the
sidewalk and exploded at a mans feet
would probably kill him.
The curious appearance of the bulbs
has led to the suspicion that some one
of anarohistic ideas might Ehave had
plan for harning Mr.. Reed and Mayor
Baxter. Mr.. Reed is out of town and
has been for several days.
The police do not know whether to
regard the matter as practical joke OF
not.
