A MEMORY OF TIE TtiEArER.
The Haunting Song Heard During the Civi
War hv an Old Soldier.

War Icy an old Soldier.
Once, in a captured city," said
an old soldier, Il went to the thea
ter. 1t was Il small city, but a big
theater, not just a hall, but a rcgu-
lar theater, with circular balcony
and boxes and scenery and foot
lights. 1t was dimly lighted, but it
had all the fascination of the theater
about it, the fascination that every
theator has, bright or dim, filled or
empty, and this theater was doubly
fascinating to Us because it was the
first one We had been in for years.
There Wasn't n turn in the gallery
nor a supporting pillar, not q curve
in the front OF the boxes nor d touch
in the drapery of them that did not
fix our attention, and not a gas jet
Pickering above the line OF footlights
that did not fiji us with tho delight
Of the theater.
The house W. slim, very slim.
We had seats IN the balcony because
they yer cheaper. From where we
were we could count, including Il
own party, IL. No doubt there were
some in the orchestra under the bal
cony that we didn't see, but a count
of so would doubtless have covered
all in the house. The town had been
occupied about Il week. 1t was pref
ty near the close of the war, and the
people must have been very poor.
That would account for the absence
of the toWnspeople, and, az for the
troops, they hadn't been there long
enough to be settled, and the war
was still on, and perhaps the men
couldn't get out of camp, and there
may have been no recent pay day,
and very likely they didn't have any
money, but whatever the reason
there was scarcely anybody there
Our little bunch OF half dozen PEG
pie made the only solid patch in the
house.
THE show was variety, and most
of it was poor, but it was all deeply
interesting to us, and some of it,
too, was very good. There a one
song in particular that struck usall.
An old man with a long white beard
and carrying q spade tottered slow
ly tottered out from the wings and
came down the stage carrying the
spade ahead Of him, as an old MAI
might carry q cane, and using it as
such. Coming down to the foOtlights,
he sang in q bass voice a song
about a grayedi@ger. FOrall | know
the song is n famous one, but | new
or heard it before, and | have nevel
heard it since. The singer hada ster
ling voice, and hesang the song vel
indeed. ] can give you a verse of it
Perhaps this verse may be right, o.
it may be that as I give it to you i
is made UP Of lines from various
verses, but this is it as l remember
cd it;
"Noar to the grave that was newly made
Leaned the sexton old ON his earthworn spade
A relic Of byGone days was he,
And his locks were White as the foaming sea
And these words came from his lips SO thin,

Call It TrelaMney.

A well known citizen Of Portland
makes this good suggestion: The name
of South Portland. which has been sug-
gested for the new town south of the
Fore River, being not Sufficiently dis
tinctive, search has been made for an
other name. and member of the Maine
Historical Society suggests Trelawney.
As the town was settled under the
"Treiawney patent" and as land titles
there are derived from that patent today
the name seems particularly appropriate.
1t is name Ct suitable length and is
historical and euphonious. AS it is not
borne by any other town in the country
it is sufficiently distinctive and seems
especially suitable.

DeplOrabIe Condition.

A poorly clad white woman named Mary
Frain, who is blind, and who, Sergeant
Dunnigan told Judge Miller, was dead
drunk Saturday, was before the Police
Court yesterday as pauper and also to
have the court take from her an infant
fourteen months old. Saturday the woman
was found in a deplorable condition in her
room in a house on 4th street northwest
between p and Q streets. The woman's
husband is a painter, but he does not live
with his wife.
Sergt. Dunnigan stated his complaint to
the court. The child. he said. seemed great
ly in need of treatment and he paid col
ored woman to care for the little one.
Judge Miller made an order taking the
child from its mother and turning it over
to the board of children's guardians. The
mother will be sent to the aims house.

BEAUTY.
HOW TO INCREASE IN WEIGHT AND
OTHERWISE IMPROVE ONES
PERSONAL APPEARANCE.

Every normally constituted and woman
wants to lcok we'll This is natural and right.
We have little sympathy for those people who.
through Incidence giuttony, have permitted
themselves to take too much flesh. They know
that by living abstemiously and taking plenty Of
exercise they get back to their normal weight.
We do, however, have great deal of sympathy
for those poor. pale, thin sufferers WhO either have
no appetite or else whose food distresses them to
such degree that they forced to live q
most frugal diet.
Their trouble arises from the fact that they are
unable to digest sufficient food, and when the
stomach is Of order and fails to do :ts proper
work. foods are worse than useless. They simply
ferment In the stomach and fill the system with
poisonous principles
What these people need is something that will
digest their food after it has been eaten, and it
is in just such that the Digestive Cordial,
made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers, is proving
remarkably successful.
1t is SO prompt in Its action that Of
relief almost Immediately follows the first dose,
and a rapid increase in weight is soon noted
The Shakers have issued an interesting pamphlet
which may be obtained upon inquiry at any drug
store.

yesterday by Randall Hagner for Gilmor

Elizabeth Rogers. For the first time in
this court these acts have been sought to
be invoked. They are entitled Acts for

question involved is whether an action at
law for $4,000 damages can be scaled down
by the surrender of a small tug, which is
alleged to have caused the collision with a
small rowboat at the foot of the channel

USING FIREARMS,
Reckless Shooting Lands Two Men in
Jail.

Heckiess shooting Lands Two Men in
Jail.
Frank Harris, a young colored man, was
a prisoner in Judge Miller's court because
of the reckless manner in which he had
used a pistol, and the swearing in court
was as reckless as was the shooting.
George johnson. young colored man. with
q bullet wound in his arm, appeared in
court and told his story. He was on the
dump near Rock creek a week ago when
the shot was fired. George had had no
trouble with him and was unable to tell
why Harris shot him
Il didn't intend to shoot him." said the
prisoner. land didn't shoot at him."
''Then," said the judge, "how did the bull
let come to hit him?''
THE wind was blowing a gale" he an
swered, land blew the bullet around his
way"
One witness told what he knew of the
case, and when he heard the prisoners
story he returned and changed his version
of the affair to suit that of the defendants.
Some of the witnesses said that only one
shot was fired, while others said that Har-
ris fired three shots.
Judge Miller could hardly believe the
story that the pistol was found on the
dump and gave Harris six months In jail.
John Beckett, a young colored man, who
discharged a pistol, was also in the tolls.
He was seated in the hallway of house
with two girls and to amuse or brighten
them he pulled a pistol from his pocket
and fired.
The judge sent him to Jail for six months.

CLOSED OUT.
Mrs. Waycott Promises to Abandon
Her Business.


Her Business.
In Judge Millers court yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Sarah NJ. Waycott, who claimed to give
electrical baths and massage treatment at
215 1st street northwest, plead guilty to a
charge Of keeping a bawdy house. Her
house was raided by Lieut.. Kellys officers
and two young women were the only persons
caught there. During the discussion of the
case in court Precinct Detective Hartigan
said that the woman kept quiet house."
These quiet houses" said the judge
"are the most dangerous. In some sections
where these houses f1aunt their flags to the
breeze, people who go in them expect to find
an Illicit traffic, but in respectable neighbor-
hoods they don't expect to find such con-
duct"
The woman said she was poor and had car
rled on the business only on a small scale.
She was now willing to give UP the business
and move.
Judge Miller said he could not take her
personal bonds to move, but il she really
intended to give up the business he would
impose a light fine.
She promised that she would give up the
business entirely, and fine of $25 was i'm
posed.
