Sir Charles Wilson and the Grand Trunk
Party See the Bay.

Sir Charles Rivers Wilson and the dis
tinguished party of Grand Trunk officials
who arrived in the city on Friday eve
ming, were appropriately entertained on
Saturday by a sail in the Forest Queen
through the courtesy of Gen. Manager
Cooling. Among the party who went be

Honor Mayor Baxter, Hon. George S.

The sail afforded the best of opportuni-
ties for Sir Charles to view the shore
property of the Grand Trunk. He ex-
pressed himself as charmed with the
number of harbor facilities of Portland
and the beauties of the bay. Among the
improvements suggested by Sir Charles,
as possibilities of the future were the
building of a new elevator, the enlarge
ment of the present wharf facilities. sub
stitutions of stone piers the establish
ment of permanent line of ocean steam
ships between Portland and Liverpool
The distinguished visitor was delighted
with Portland in every way, and ex-
pressed his determination of returning at
future day for more extended stay.

A Wet Day.

Yesterday was wet day all around. A
decidedly wet day outside till late in the
afternoon, and evidently quite wet in
side with numerous citizens, to judge
from the liveliness about police head
quarters. The rain fell in perfect torrents
till noon. and the streets were almost
deserted The man who got dry Sunday
paper yesterday was lucky. The carriers
had hard day of it trying to keep their
papers reasonably dry The churches
suffered badly in the matter of cong rega-
tions, and in some the choir and pastors
made up most of the attendance, When
it finally cleared the people came out like
bees out of O. hive The procession of
humanity on Congress street in the late
afternoon and evening was immense, and
one had hard work to get along with any
degree of swiftness.

has taken place at the Dress Goods
section of j. R. Libby's Dry Goods store
The pale sunmery things are being
oyershadowed by the New Imported
Autumnals
The Autumn Dress Stuffs are more
beautiful, odd and original than ever be-
fore.
The Artist Designers of Germany,
France, England and Saxony have
demonstrated that the designing of Dress
fabrics is a progressive science, and sure
ly they have progressed this season
marvelously. Mr.. Libby gave his import
orders for these be eautiful things in June,
and the goods brought out go beyond the
expectations of those who saw only the
samples two months ago. Three dormi-
nant thoughts seem to run through all
the designs First, Mohair black and
glossy as silk, and moro wearable-is
largely used in the surface decorations Of
these fabrics. Often it resembles applique
work. Second, gold threads thrust
themselves up every where giving an all
of brightness. Third, Boucle-(lock Of
hairy is very prominent in the higher
classes of goods, and some of the color
punches seem to tell Of focks of bright
tinted sheep, which IN trying toJump the
barbed fence of warp and filling, same
left tufts of flaming wool thereon.
Mr.. Libby says that this first invoice
of 1895 autumnals is superior in every re-
spect to any previous one in his business
axper ience.

A';LlvELY sc RAP.
Officers Riley and Pickett Handle Tough
Crowd.

Officer Joe Riley is unlucky. 1t was
but comparatively short time ago that
he returned to full duty after nursing for
a long time the results of injuries re-
ceived in the performance of his duty
Yesterday he struck some more tough
customers but came out decidedly on
top, though things looked blue for some
time. 1t seems that some toughs got in
to an old house in the rear of Larch street
andfproceeded to fill up. Having produced
condition of wetness inside eommensu-
rate with the condition OF the weather
outside, they proceeded to put the like
quantities together to the delight of
themselves, but the decided desecration
of the Sabbath. They paid no attention
to warnings to be quiet and labored un-
der the delusion that they owned the city.
Officer Riley stood it as long as patience
and regard for good government would
allow, and then proceeded to arrest the
men. He collared one of them known as
"Conemara Flaherty" and ne proved to
be an ugly customer. He fought like a
tiger, and apparently by magic he and
crowd of fifty or more. 1t was an ill
natured one too. Riley called on them
for assistance, but instead of helping they
encouraged Flaherty, who was fighting
like wild man and jostled the officer.
1t was rather unpleasant position for
one man to be hemmed in by hostile
crowd with crazy drunken fighter on
his hands, but Riley never weakened.
Things began to look little serious for
law and order, when there was change.
Officer Joe Pickett was down at the
corner of Congress and Washington
streets, and was notified that something
was wrong. He started at full speed for
the scene, drawing his club. Taking in
the situa tion at a glance he did not stop
to say excuse me, but went through the
crowd like shot out of gun, and was
by Riley's side. ''The man who strikes
Riley strikes me- said Pickett, and the
toughs soon had forcibl evidence that he
Flaherty in a twinkling, and rung fol
the patrol When he was cared for they
started after his chums, They had taker
refuge in the house again. : The officers
jumped in and had them ironed before
the knew it. They were a second
Flaherty, and man named Murray
The latter is a bad man to handle
generally, but he was taken SO quickly hi
had no time to resist. Murray will have
to answer to serious charges this morning
in the court.

The Lost Found.

A little child visiting the family of
Mrs. Kinds at Diamond Island, got hold
of Mrs. Hinds's valuable diamond ring in
some way and went down to the beach to
play. When the child came back there
was no ring. A searching party was in
stituted and strange to say the ring was
found where the child dropped it in the
sand.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
James b. AIackie.


James B. Mackie, the clever young
comedian, has scored an immediate sue
cess as Chilly Crimes" who owns the
Cellar Door, in the bright musical COM
edy, s'Grimes' Cellar Door, This at
traction is one of the strongest in the field
of musical come dy in America, and will
be the attraction at Portland Theatre
this and Tuesday evenings. The perform
anoe is said to be full of clean fun from
beginning to end, and every scene is
marked by brisk action and some novel
"business" new to the stage is introduced
in each of the three acts. Mr.. Mackie
has used great care and Judgment in Sc
lecting his large company and each one is
thorough artist in his or her particular
line.
The Star Gazer.
Joe Otis initial starring tour last sea-
son was of unusual prosperity. In each
and every city in which the comedian
appeared he harvested a hearty endorse
ment and in many instances he was ov-
erwhelmingly received. His coming to
the Portland Theatre next Thursday eve
ming in "The Star Gazer'' will undoubt-
edly recall his last visit to this city,
which was most auspicious. This clever
artist is fast gaining foot-hold. He is
unpretentious, makes no claim or boast
but in every instance appreciates the
wants of his patrons, and in turn earn
estly endeavors to give them their mon
ey's worth in pure, wholesome fun, dealt
out with as large an ingredient OF origi-
nality as is called for.
McCallum's Theatre.
Crowds such as "The Lost Paradise"
drew at McCallum's theatre at Peaks last
week has never been equalled in the his
tory of the house. Even the matinees, to
say nothing of the evening performances,
were crowded all thesweek, while at night
no amount of money could buy seat
after eight O'Clock and fully two thou
sand people were unable to gain admis-
sion during the week, For this reason
we think Mr.. McCallum has shown excel
| lent Judgment in continuing "The Lost
Paradise another week and there is not
the slightest doubt but that the house
will be packed all the week, as there are
hundreds who were anxious to see the
piece who could not go last week, as they
could not get seats There will be {
change in the cast this week. Mr.. How
ell Haskell, the clever young actor, ar
rived on the island Saturday to take Mr.
Pascoe's place as Reuben Warner, as Mr.
Pascoe is obliged to leave to rejoin Jane
O'Neil for the winter season Mr.. Has
kell played the part with Mr. Frohman
company in New York and other larg
cities and made an immense hit and Mr.
McCallum is to be congratulated in Sc
curing such clever actor to take th
place of Mr.. Pascoe, who is a great favor
ite with the peopleaof Portland. DON

MEMPHIS. Tenn, May 23.-The sound
money convention. which met at the Audi
torium to-day and adjourned sine die after
two sessions, was magnificent demonstra-
ton in support of the financial policy of the
administration. Six hundred and twenty
five delegates. representing nearly every
Southern State, made UP the gathering
which to-day listened to an able argument
by Secretary of the Treasury John G. Car
Isle against the free coinage of silver at

leaders of the South, and adopted a plat
form setting forth their views upon the
question now uppermost in the public mind.
The absence of political reference in the
addresses of the speakers noticeable.
The audience was made up largely of busi-
ness men, who literally applauded the calm
business-like arguments of the Secretary of
the Treasury ana the utterances of the
other speakers. But once or twice during
the afternoon or evening was the name of
President Cleveland mentioned, but on
these occasions the crowd went wild with

CLOSE OF THE WAR
DECISION OF IMPORTANCE TO MANY
PENSION SEEKERS.
Secretary Morton and DIR. Salmon Ex-
crcised over the Attack on Our
Meat-InspectiOn Methods.

WASHINGTON. May 8.-A decision of
considerable Importance has been made by
Assistant Secretary Reynolds, of the In
terror Department., in the pension case of
John Barleyoung. late of Company f,
Thirteenth United States Infantry. Bar
leyoung served from April Q, 1866 to April
10, 1869. and claimed pension under the
service pension law on the ground that
the war did not end until the issuance of
President Johnsons proclamation, on Aug.
20. 1866. declaring IL at an end. The As
sistant Secretary holds that the actual
termination Of hostiities was in July, 1865,
and adds: ut is not believed that Con-
gress intended to pension those whose rem
dition of service. military or naval. had no
connection whatever with the belligerent
operations of the war or was not upon the
theater of the conflict, and had nothing to
do with the objects and purposes of the
war" The following ruliEgs-aFe-- therefore
made: The technical legal termination of
the war of the rebellion was Aug 90 1866.
Under Section of the act OF June %.
$780, service must have been rendered both
during and in some necessary connection
with the war of the rebellion as a part of
ITS belligerent operations. Service rendered
after July, 1860. Will be presumed TO have
not been in said war; service rendered after
April 2, 1856. must be shown to have been
rendered in some connection with the war
as existing in the State of Texas; service
rendered within the State of Tennessee
after June 13, 1865, will likewise be pre-
sumed not TO have been in said war unless
shown to have had some necessary connec-
ton with the war elsewhere
Assistant Secretary Reynolds also holds
that when claims are filed under two diff
ferent laws, the same disability, allow
ance under the general law Is sufficient
notice of rejection under the other.
