WHERE is FEDERMAN?
Those Who ought Furniture of the Artist
Are Now Sorrowing.

Complaint was made at the police station
Monday against Louis Federman. the
crayon artist, who has had rooms on Con-
gress street IN the block recently built
above the Baxter lot ON Oak street. When
Federman moved in there he fitted his
rooms up WE'LL buying furniture of Portland
dealers on the instalment plan. mortgaging
it back as security. Lately he has sold his
furniture and left the rooms, and also the
town.
Some Of the parties who bought his furni-
ture are finding that it was mortgaged and
have become anxious to find Federman.
FedermaI was stylish young man, and
cut quite a dash about the city. He was
accompanied by woman who passed as his
wife. She also has left town.
rr..For about a week before Federman left
there were some complaints to the police
about disorderly proceedings in his rooms,
but nothing was found sufficient to Justify
an arrest.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Federman got some
advertising by a complaint which he made
at the police station. and of which the
PRESS published an account, November s..
last. He said that in coming to this city
from Boston. on the boat, he met young
man named Adams or Evans. Having met
the latter once before, they sooa renewed
the acquaintanceship. Adams was coming
here to find employment, fact which he
communicated to his acquaintance. FEEDER
man offered to him a prospect of employ
ment canvassing for crayon portraits, and
their intimacy increased TO such an extent
that Federman took Adams to the Danfortb
house, on Temple street, where they occu-
pied the same room. Federman alleged that
while at the hotel Evans opened his trunk
and took therefrom Sal and pair of opera
| glasses. Federman did not make his COM
plant until it was too late for the police to
act, and Evans was never found.
Federman was quite we'll known to some
of the Hebrews in this city.

Circuit.

Rigby, Old Orchard, saugus and Mystic to
Unite in an Observation-Disclosures that
Have Been Arranged for the Season.
The annual meeting of the Maine Mile
Track association will be held Wednesday.
but there will be probably an adjournment
for few DAYS there being some important
matters for the stockholders to think over.
The grand stand will be purchased by the
association.
But The most important matter is a
u, o;,osition that has been made for the for
matios, of a circuit to be composed of Mys-
tic. Saueus. Old Orchard and Rigby. Man
aeer Porter of the Old Orchard association
sent a letter yesterday to Il. #. Farnham,
and in If made some suggestions regarding
the proposed circuit.
Mr. Porter went to Boston last week, and
had long conference with Manager Willis
of Mystic and Manager Gray of Saugus.
and they prepared the following schedule,
which now goes to the Rigby management
for approval or rejection. The proposed
circuit events Will be as follows:
Mystic, June l? to 81.
Saugus, June "a to 2S.
Old Orchard, July 2 to 5.
Rigby, July to IL.
Mystic. July 16 to 49,.

Old Orchard, July so and August 2.
Rigby, August to 3.
Mystic, August IL to l6.
Saugus, August ~ to 3.
Old Orchard. August n to &c.

Rigby, October s to II.
Managers Porter of Old Orchard, Willis of
Mystic, and Gray of Saugus, will be here
Thursday or Friday and will be in consulta-
ton with the Rigby management regarding

probable that circuit will be formed, and
that the above schedule will be adopted

and fall will be crowded with events of in

A LINE OF TEA MS.
Forty Five Ice Teams Standing in a Row
Waiting Chance to Unload.


There was good deal of patient waiting
on Commercial street yesterday on the part
of those who were drawing in the ice from
Long creek to Portland.
The rule of the ice company is simple
one. 1.-The first team at the pond is the first
loaded, and the first team at the house is
the first discharged.'' Five cents a cake is
the rate paid, and pair Of horses will take
in about IS cakes, and will make two trips a
day.
The time was when the farmers, and those
who owned jiggers got in about ten days OF
this ice drawing, and made about $50 each
out of it, but that was when fewer teams
were at the creek for load. This year the
number of teams have ranged from sixty to
eighty-6ve, and the number of days will be
reduced to about six. The splendid roads
will help out some, and on an average the
drivers will make good thing out of it.
When the full capacity of the ice houses
in Portland is reached. there will be acres
of splendid ice unhaIyested. AS 1t is the
scene is exciting where the ice is being cut,
and to some degree SO on Commercial srteet.
The teams are discharged as rapidly as
possible, but for all that the man who found
himself in the line with forty-tive teams
ahead of him had but cold comfort in the
thought that others were being discharged.
and were going back for athfrd time.

duced at Portland Theatre, as was stated
on the programme, sin brand new har-
ness and groomed strictly up to date"
The old harness and the rough coating
of oIden DAYS were far preferable. As
presented now it is simply gallery play,
appealing'to the coarser elements. Its
fun is of poor quality. There is some
fair specialt business in the second act,
notably Mr.. Evans's eccentric dancing,
Mr.. Days baritone songs, and some i'm
itations OF song and dance men on their
first appearance. Miss Carrie Sweeney
presented tough" girl from the Bow
cry, and Jacques Kruzer Judge Willie
Hoss. The play will be repeated to-
night.

weeks charmed large audiences at Boston
Museum, and which is said to have

The Journal says: Alright, light and
laughable, growing in popularity with

This will be the last.

Mr.. Archie Boyd, the original Otis
Tucker of "1he County Fair" and for
four seasons the Josh Whitcomb of Mr..
Denman Thompson's Southern and
Western sold Homestead" company.
Mr.. Boyd is acknowledged to be without
superior as delineator of rustic char
acter, many critics preferring his Josh
Whitcomb to that of Mr.. Thompson.
"The Country Squire" is said to be an
excellent piece of dramatic writing, full
of beautiful situations and interesting
dialogue. AS "Eben Tobias" the coun-
try squire, Mr.. Boyd has had an oppor-
tunity TO create part which is destined
to.become as well known as has Josh
Whitcomb." For the Saturday matinee
