MUSIC AND DRAMA.


Islands Across the Sea-" as it has been
presented in this city in the past is an
interesting play aud well deserves the
success it has always won. As is well
known to most of our theatre goers, it is
O melodrama, but without the over
wrought situations that characterize most
plays of it's class. The story is interest
ing and holds the attention of an audi.
ence closely, while the serious moments
are pleasantly relieved by an entertain
ing strain of light comedy. Good, strong
and witty lines, dramatic situations,
q swift movement of events, admirable
etages settings and well balanced COM
pany join to make highly enjoyable
production. With matinee on Friday,
Washington's Birthday, begins what will
probably be the last engagement of the
play at the Portland Theatre. Three
more performances are TO be given, Fri
day evening and Saturday afternoon and
evening. Seats are now ready at the box

When Young Morgan Was Punished for
Passing the Bad Check at the Preble
House-A Previous Victim Came Here
and Identified Him-SIr Costello, of the
Preble, Saw Newspaper Clipping-Mor-
gan Is a Professional Bum and Thief and
is Much Wanted.
It will. be remem bered that some weeks
ago a fine looking young man, who said
he was Harry W. Morgan, formerly of
Yale college, passed worthless check
for $50 at the Preble house, but was
caught and sentencedsby Judge Bonney
to one year in Jail. He had said it was
his frat crime, he broke down and de-
clared his people were of high standing
socially and that his mother was sick
and that news of his crime would kill
her. There was a good deal OF sympathy
for him and the court officers were in
clined to think his story was true.
The. first thing that shook their faith
in him, but that occurred after he was
sentenced, was the. arrival of d. Conner,
Jr., of Manchester, N. H., who claimed
that Morgan worked off a $50 check on
him. He. had talk with Morgan and
fully identified him. Morgan said he
thought he should be able to fix this
matter after he got out Then a news
paper clipping caught the eye of Mr..
Costello, clerk at the Preble, and led
him to think that Harry W. Morgan
might. be Ward f. H Burrows of Deposit,
NY, and that Harry B. Burrows of De-
posit, N. Y, might be in a position to
give some information regarding him.
Mr.. White wrote to MIR. Burrows, and re-
ceived a long letter in reply. In that
letter Mr.. Burrows said: "In your letter
you ask for his history. Impossible, as
we have no paper mill or expert stenog-
raphers, and life is too short to try and
give all of his history, and no stranger
would believe one-tenth para of his dew
iltry. 1t was born and bred in him. l
can give you cases of at least ten hotels
and individuals without number. He
was once sentenced to three years and
nine months to the state prison in Indi-
ana, but got out in six months on a
technicaiity. We next heard of him in
SIS serape in Ohio, and you are the
latest.n
With this letter was sent copy of the
Deposit Courier, which gave at some
leng5h several accounts Of some of his
fraudulent exploits. 1t is asserted that
the sheriff OF Montrose, Penn, is looking
for fine voI1np man who ia wantpd fnr q
scheme he is alleged to have worked
there.
In the introduction to the letters pu b.
lished in the Deposit Courier. the fol-
lowing interesting statement was made:
Ward Burrows, the bold, bad man,
who, during the past five years has fig
ured in a number of skirmishes where
forged checks. borrowed money, etc.,
were at stake, is one of tine darkest sheep
of Deposits flock. Not many weeks
since. it will be remembered, he played
one of his little bunco games upon Mont
rose parties, and the sheriff from that
place was In town shortly afterwards
gathering data us to his previous rec
ord, meanwhile endeavoring to learn of
his Whereabouts.
Ina later letter Mr.. Heweitt wrote that
he had traced Ward to Portland, and
knew of his exploits here and of his ar
rest. Whether the various interested
parties will trouble themselves about
Morgan after his sentence expires here
remains to be seen.

THE WAY OF THE TRANsGREssoR

w as d Haru OHe III the Ease OIL Herbert
Blake of Hallowell-If He Hadn't Re-
sisted the Officer He'd Have Been All
Right.
In the United States court Tuesday
morning the trial of Herbert Blake
of Hallowell, for selling liquor without
United States license, was begun.
Blake was recently found guilty of as
sauIting Noah M. Prescott Of Clinton,
deputy United States marshal who went
to Hallowell TO arrest him On the charge
for which he is now being tried. Blake's
counsel is A. NJ. Goddard of Augusta,
and United States District Attorney
Col. A. W. Bradbury appears for the gov
eminent.
Mr.. Goddard contended that Blake was
not the proprietor Of the hotel. and that
the United States tax for the hotel had
been paid by Blake's father and another
man. The jury concluded that it had
not been proved that Blake was guilty
OF selling liquor without paying the
United Sattes tax, and therefore acquit-
ted him.
Had he been willing to come with
Deputy Marshal Prescott quietly, he
would have escaped the clutches of the
law entirely, but his folly in resisting
and assaulting the officer will result in
punishment that such folly richly de.
serves, if the jury's verdict OF guilty is
sustained by the Court of Appeals.

BROoKLYN's TROLL. Y STRIKE
Cars and Policemen Attacked with
Stones by the Strikers.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Jan. 16.-Three
thousand persons attacked another car
on Prospect Park Plaza yesterday af-
ternoon. The police again came to the
rescue. A guard Of policemen under
Inspector MacKellar who were trying
to get cars out of the barn at Presi-
dent street and Flatbush avenue,
elashed with a crowd. The men had
massed on the reservoir bluff at that
point and were armed with stones.
Two cars came along, one going up
and the other down town.
The men pelted them with stones.
Some persons ran down from the bluff
and hurled their rocks at close range.
The motormen and conductors, who
had taken the place of the strikers,
first took refuge inside the cars. When
they saw the assailants closing in on
them, fearing their lives were in dan
ger, they fled, leaving the cars unpro-
tected
The police saw the affray at a dis
tance and ran toward the cars
When they arrived the the crowd re-
treated again UP the hill. Inspector
MacKellar ordered the police to charge
them. The assailants at this time
numbered about 200 They fired a part
ing Volfey of stones at the advancing
policemen and retreated to the rear
of the bluff.
The policemen then returned to
guard the cars. The crowds rapidly
grew larger. Inspector MacKellar tel
egraphed for help While they were
waiting nine Of the strikers came
around the bluff. The inspector sue
ceeded in heading them off with
posse of his men before they could
get back, then surrounded and took
them prisoners and locked them up.
President Daniel f. Lewis. of the
Brooklyn Heights Railroad company,
said last night that he did not think
that the police force was able to cope
with the situation, and that if had
been the strike could have been en-
tirely settled within eight hours time.
Mayor Schieren received a commun-
ication from Police Commissioner
Welles to the effect that the police
were fully able t. look out for the in
terests of the railroad companies and
that he should not need the assistance
OF the militia or any one in the enforce
ment of order or the protection of
property and the lives of citizens.
At a late hour last night no further
disturbance had taken place.
Lawyer NJ. S. Towons. representing

Winter Feeding of Pigs.

Feed pigs one pound of corn or
corn meal to twenty pounds Of skim
milk. This will give a nutritive ratio
of one to eight, which is a very suit
able one for winter feeding in warm
and dry pens They should have some
exercise. AS the porkers approach the
time when it is proposed to sell them
increase the proportion of corn meal 70
skim milk. During the last few days
of feeding the porkers no exercise
should be allowed. Bran or oats are
neither SO well adapted to the feeding
of pigs as corn meal. Pigs, like calves
enjoy little oil meal, an ounce or 50
day per pig. If they incline to ge'
too fat, reduce the corn; if too lean
increase it. There is no certain rule
nor certain ration. The feeder should
be the judge of what is most econom
ical and best for the amin all. Z. Rop

Cucumber Salad I'm Winter.

Cucumber lovers will find way to
enjoy them fresh out of season by fol-
lowing this German recipe to preserve
them: Take as many medium-sized Gu
cumbers as you wish and pare and slice
them as if for salad and then salt them
well and after leaving them in the salt
few hours the salt and LIQUID are
squeezed out of them with clean
white cloth. Then take a quantity of
fnely-cut onions and peppercorn and
r-.x them well into the cucumber. Put
the whole into large stone jar and
pour over it the best white wine vim.
egar, and on top two inches of good
salad oil; cover the top of the jar with
n bladder. During the whole winter
the cucumber remains fresh and good.
When necessary add little more vim
egar, and always leave two inches of
oil at the top. Cucumber salad made
from the vegetable thus prepared is
said to be almost equal to its use in
the fresh state.

A Defense of Hot Bread.

So much has been said and writer
about the unhealthiness of eating hot
bread that its lovers will be comforted
to know that the doctors do not al!
talk the same way about it. DR..
Troitzki, writing to Russian medical
Journal, says that after careful exam
ination he has found that new and un-
cut bread contains no nitro-organisms
as the heat necessary to cook the bread
has destroyed them all. After bread has
been cut and allowed to stand around
for awhile it quickly collects bacteria,
rs it is an excellent medium for them
to thrive on. Wheat bread, he thinks,
gathers bacteria faster than rye, as the
latter has more acidity. Now all peo-
pie who love hot bread can eat it with
the comfortable feeling that, while it
may not be quite as digestible as stale
bread. it is free from the bacteria,
which are making the world so uncom-
Portable in these days. A little dys-
