The Germans.

Speaking of the Germans in The
Gilhoolys Abroad who will appear at
the Portland Theatre this evening, the
Bangor News says:
ga large audience saw the Germans in
THE Gilhoolys Abroad, a farce comedy,
at the Opera House last evening, and
better pleased. The Germans themselves
won instant favor, and their associates
included some very clever people, notable
among them being Clara Strong and
Leah Starr. Arthur Rigby and jerome
Powers. The specialties were first rate,
and altogether it was one OF the brightest
and most satisfactory entertainments
ever seen on this stage. The Germans
ought to get lot of money before the
Gilhoolys return from their trip abroad.
A Popular Melodrama.
ssThe Cotton King" from the pen of
Sutton vane, author of Humanity, !"
will be seen at Portland Theatre on Fri
day and Saturday evenings, Sept. 18th
and 18th. with matinee Saturday. The
play will be presented under the personal
direction of William A. Brady, who, 1T
is said, has secured All excellent compa-
ny. The scenery carried is complete and
made to fit the stage the size of the thea
tire in this city, and the management
promises the performances will be equal
in every way to those given here last
season.

OUR LABOR INTERESTS
STILL ADVANCING.
The Increase in Wages not Confined to
Special hines.

Again the matter Of wage restorations has
formed the most important factor In the In
dustrial history of the past week, aud the In
dications are that the current week will be
marked with number OF increases and ad-
vances that will exceed those made In the
same length OF time since the better con-
ditions began to show themselves. The
spreading OF the evidences OF improvement
In all branches Of industry Ia awakening a
general interest, and furnishes encourage
ment that has been longed for by all since
the flrst restoration Of wages were made In
the textile industry, to which 1t was confined
for so many weeks.
A very gratifying feature Of the present
advance In wages is that II Is not confined to
any special line OF Industry. but seems to ex-
tend to nearly all. The coal mining industry
is at present the most Disturbed line in the
country. with numerous Interstate and local
troubles, but even In this branch some ad-
yances In rates have been made. The fact
that there is general upward movement In
wages Is certainly regretted by none, as II
will add to tho prosperity OF all. And the
fact that the employers Of labor are not con-
stantly on the watch for opportunitle, to re-
duce labor Is shown In the action OF at least
one company, which voluntarily advanced
Its rates over the figures fixed by an agree.

The Popularity of the "R."

A little feature to be seen in some
writings-perhaps only to be distin.
guished as separate gesture by the aid
Of a magnifying glass-is the tiny
stroke which is separately placed above
the small r, in order to show that 1t Is
an r, and to thus distinguish it from an.
other letter, or part of letter, which
resembles the when the latter Is made
without this little top stroke. At the
first glance, how insignificant does this
detail appear! But is it really without
meaning as human action? l think
not.
A man who habitually takes the trou.
BILE to make clearer the meaning of one
of his symbols, at the cost of a little
separate action, Is man who takes
pains with his work and who desires to
do his work well. This action, trivial
as it appears, could scarcely be done
by a slovenly or careless person; 1t Is
gesture of minute care and attention
qualities that in one way or another
have been of vast service to individ.
ucls and to mankind. Thomas Carlyle,
for example, showed his minute care.
fulness by an attention to punctuation
that l have never seen eXcelled, and
which has rarely been equaled-The
Nineteenth Century.

be as comfortable as when half full.

The tenant system in the cotton belt Is
unique. Before the war the agricultural
sections of the State were divided into
extensive plantations-3,0 600, 1000, 5000
and sometimes 10000 acres, owned by one
man, under single management, and
worked by gangs of slaves, male and fe-
male. directed by overseers, with "6eld
hand for every thirty or forty acres, ac-
cording to the wealth or the generosity
of the master. Sometimes they would
work fifty acres to n hand, but that was
excessive cruelty, and such planters were
universally condemned. That system
meant 100 slaves for 3,000-acre planta-
tion, $50 or 100 for n 5,0OO-acre planta-
tion, and 300 or 400 slaves for 10000
acres. Nowadays much of the land Is
