MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Hands Across the Sea.

The holiday attraction at the Portland
Theatre today will be Henry Pettitt's
famous melodrama Islands Across the
Sea-" Two perfor finances are to he given,
matinee at G. 80 and evening at s. The
play is one of the most popular of all
melodramas with our theatre goers and
this it's seventh visit to this city,
promises to be as highly prosperous as
any OF it's previous engagements. IL is
no hard task to find the reasons for the
great popularity OF the play. Its free
dom from any suggestion of vulgarity or
the slums. characteristic of SO many
plays Of it's class; the absence of all
blood and thunder tendencies; the
natural and direct manner in which it is
told and it's great heart interest, all
appeal directly to an audience. Two
performances are also announced for to-
morrow.

OUR SALUTE.

Oh, yes, we've going to fire salute to-
day in honor of the Father of His
Country. We shall also improve the
opportunity to celebrate our own
victory over an obstinate jobber of
Stamped Linens. The Linens were
beauties and we wanted them badly.
The jobber was equally anxious to
get rid of them, but poor fellow, hs
did expect to get enough out of
them to pay for the material. We
made him an offer that made him
turn pale, swallow his tongue and GO
home. We sent our buyer after him
and the buyer returned with the
linens. We are to sell them at such
low prices that we must make lit
tie noise about the goods, even if W e
do shatter the windows of other
dealers in Linens. Today we shall
fire salute of seven guns, three for
George and four for ourselves.
Listen for the rumbling.

roughly rebuilt, at an expense of five hun
