Tonight the comic opera success
Prince Pro TEN" will be presented at
the Opera house, and will, no doubt, be
received with large house. The com
pany which will present the opera here,
is first class one as the following from
the Portland Press Of Jan. goth, shows
1.-THE various characters are all exceed
ingly well taken, but it is that of Tommy
Tompkins, played by Fred Lennox and
Wild Rosy, played by Josie Sadler that
are worthy more careful and critical no.
tice than a hastily written newspaper
article. They are both exceedingly ar
tistic-much abused as that word is-for
Mr. Lennox's humor is natural and fun
provoking while it stands on pinnacle
far above the ordinary burlesque opera
star actor, and Miss Sadler is delightful
in her quaint assumption of Wild Rosy
In her peculiar, arch, spirited manner
and her graceful skillful dancing, Miss
Jessie Bradbury gives great pleasure in
the character of Gwendolin, the royal
maid of all work. while all the parts are
deserving of mention. The ladies of the
chorus are young and pretty; they, and
the male members, sing well the piece Is
handsomely costumed and staged, and tie
applause was hearty and constant. Len

Ioot OF the stairs leading to the dinino
room the crooks coat hung, and probably
tucked away for chance use was a soft
hat. Anyhow he went down the stairs
ana instead of going in to supper, put on
MS coat and stepped into an alleyway-
and disappeared. A few minutes later
the train with Deputy Sheriff Cornish
came in. There was nothing to hinder
tne impromptu secretary of State with the
middle name of Edwards" GETTING
aboard He is not expected to return for
his grip
IN the grip was found tools evidently
made for burglarious purposes. 1t is
said that he had an outfit for making wax
impressions Of locks and had made a
skeleton key that unlocked the door at
the depot to the room containing the safe.
also That some express articles were await
ing him here. Evidently he intended to
take away little loose change when he
got these $500 furs and departed.
And here is where the State detective
argument comes in. After the bird had
flown, someone at Bowdoinham telephoned
the secretary of State to know if he would
pay for the postal cards and the sending
OF descriptions in order to apprehend the
thief
The secretary of State has the enyclope
which contained the typewritten letter to
Geo. W. Comstock, purporting to be from
Byron Boyd. 1t was letter from the
State department. A pen had been drawn
through the words secretary of State"
and with typewriter the return address
of Byron Boyd, Hotel North" had been
written in.
1t will be remembered that the crook
said he had never been in Augusta. From
the description Mr.. Fesscnden gave of the
fellow, one man is certain that he saw the
individual here twice last week. There
is suspicion, however, that he had con-
federate here who stole the State depart
ment stationery and that the confederate
was a woman. For several days the pre-
vious week, a woman of unknown identity
and questionable purposes had occasionally
visited the State House and on two occa-
sions had tried to borrow stationery in the
1t is not learned that she
succeeded in borrowing.
Another important feature of the school
district bill introduced by Mr.. Barrett is
that the town system, SO called, where
heretofore adopted by vote of town, may
continue, but such town shall constitute
one school district

ANTI-TOXINE
Used in Augusta, for the First Time in
the State of Maine.
Patient in Critical State When Treated Frida,
Now Rapidly Recovering.

| Saturday morning, the journal noted
son, of a case of diphtheria with the new
remedy, anti-toxine, the patient being
Mrs. f. W. Fisher. 1t is with great
pleasure that the journal, this morning,
is able to announce that the treatment has
been highly successful.
Friday night, DIR. Harris found his
patient in a critical state, breathing be-
ing extremely difficult and exhaustion
very great. DR.. johnson, who fortunately
had recently secured supply of Behring'S
anti toxine, direct from Germany, was
called and the medicine administered at
s. 30 o'clock
1t can be easily imagined that the result
of the treatment was watched with great
anxiety and interest. Within ~ hours
the typical reaction of the medicine was
noticed, and hereafter the improvement
was very rapid, so that, at p. NJ. Sun
day, the patient S pulse and temperature
were normal and the membranes had
mostly disappeared, those remaining fast
breaking up. The general condition of
the patient was also much improved.
Both Dr. Harris and DR.. johnson are
enthusiastic over the result of the admin
istration of anti toxine, each being conf
dent that without it death would certainly
have resulted probably in "a and at the
latest, 4S hours
One bottle from the package recently
opened by Dr. johnson at the Journal
office, containing trifle less than one
ounce, was given by hypodermic injection
in the abdomen. It's strength was that
known as 1000 anti-toxine units.
Dr. Harris will send today, to the New
York representative of the German
chemist supplying this marvellous remedy,
for a supply for the use of the Augusta
board of health.
This, so far as is known, is the first
practical test of the anti-toxine in Maine,
and the success attending its use will be
welcome news to all physicians and, in
fact, to everyone

it to his friends, and is proud in the pos

certainly represents fabulous sum OF
money. But when the picture becomes

so with slavery. Puritanism is here to
day and stands according to that which
is permanent. What has it signifed anc
what does it still signify?
Puritanism stood for an endeavor tc
organize freedom Tor the highest and no
blest purposes. Freedom was not new
when Puritanism was formed, but Puri'
tanism introduced and established the
element of righteousness in freedom.
The Puritanism OF today stands where
it stood then. 1t says you want more
righteousness rather than more freedom.
A generation ago when the people were
seeking an extension OF their territory in
the great West the eye of the Puritan
was on the South. The Puritan wanted
slavery wiped out before any more states
were admitted to the Union. Today
there is the same demand for the growth
Of our cities and the Puritan stands at
the gateway of every city and says the
first duty of the city is to be clean.
The thought OF wal is terrible. The
commercialism of England it pushing on
in a reckless passion, sometimes bullying
weaker states. The sensitive American
spirit calls a halt, but beneath this call
is the Puritan spirit calling for a peace
lul settlement of the difficulty. II we
come out all right it will be owing to the
spirit OF the Puritan which knows the
right and stands by it to the end.
Puritanism contributed tofrecdom and
was the great organizing and construc-
tive element. The Puritan fortified every
advance he made in freedom. He knew
how to make a compact and how to
keep it,. We have been under the reign
of individualism Tor the last two centur-
les. We are now coming back to the
reign of organized society. P%uritanism
is represented today in social Christiani-
ty. The result OF Puritanism in educa-
ton has been urcommons school system.
We can see the narrowness of wealth,
we can feel the narrOwness OF culture,
and we fear the narrowness of some
forms of religion. When | see all these
things | say, we are not worthy OF our
inheritance. We do not dare to trust to
pl inciple. Through all the vicissitudes
and changes of life the Puritan stands

CHRISTMAS TREES.

On Wednesday evening the Methodist
church was filled with the children and
their friends, who were interested in two
large and gaily dressed trees which were
loaded with gifts. Miss Gorham rend-
cred two or three fine selections on the
organ, and after prayer by the pastor,
Miss Madeline Randall delighted the au-
dience with a charming recitation. The
presents were then distributed.
The juvenile department of the North
church were made very happy by a
Christmas tree at the chapel on Christ
mas eve. The tree was handsomely dec
GRATED and after a few recitations the
gifts were distributed. All the children
in this department received a box OF
candy, the gilt OF Mrs. J. T. Herrick and
Miss Ellen H. Fairbanks.
The South church Sunday School schol-
ars enjoyed a treat in the vestry on
Tuesday evening, when a Christmas tree
laden with lovely things and lighted with
candles was the centre OF attraction.
There was a march and a few recitations
before the merry gathering dispersed.
