there will be all unnatural, rapid WINK

This chapter of accidents happened at the
Boston boat:
Dennis Lahey of Boston, man of
forty-uhree years, who was arrested by
Officer Morse several days ago for drunk
enness and disturbance, had an interest
ing adventure last evening. The co urt
found Lahey guilty, but on his promise
to go back to Boston and never return,
the sentence was suspended. Last eve
ming Turnkey Emery took Lahey to the
boat in the patrol, and he went aboard.
At the same moment 6wo drunken men
started aboard. The mate drove them
back and Lahey with them. Office
Emery explained and Lahey was told to
come aboard again. The boat was by this
time swinging off, and Lahey fell off the
narrow gang plank into the water. A
woman on the wharf tainted at the
catastrophe, and man with an overcoat
on his arm dropped it onto Lahey in the
water The people on the boat, which
was by this time under way, pulled
Lahey aboard, overooat and all.
And so Lahey and the coat started for
Boston.
There was story afloat about town
last evening that he had case of beer
under his arm when he fell in. This was
erroneous, since the police saw him aboard
the boat

The Time Table On Which the Cars arc
Running.

Tho Congress street cars now pegin W
run at 6. 10 a. m and from that tllhe Ono'
make 10 minute trips all the loreno
afternoon and evening up to IL oiooA r
m. The cars leave the hill on tine -e'eh
hours, and 10. 90. 80, 40 and % minutes
thereafter From the Unions Station inc
cars leave five minutes past Inc eson
hour and 10, 25, 35, 10 and 90 minutes
after each. The time allowed pe1Ween
the hill and Union Station is 20 mlhu-
tes. 1t should be stated however, 1naV
until the motormen get thoroughly ac-
customed to their work the trips are ma
BILE to be somewhat irregular, because at
present the cars do not make up tllne
when by any reason they are delayed.
On Spring street line thescars run every
Is minutes up to O'Clock and every III
minutes thereafter until p. m, then
every Is minutes until TO- 80 p. m.
The Union Station cars run as usual
to connect with each train until 11.30 a.
m, and then every 10 minutes up to p
M. This gives car from Monument
Square to the Union Station every 0
minutes during the afternoon and eve
ming. This is an admirable arrangement
and will accommodate perfectly the pub
lie travel.
Before long the cars will have regu-
lar stopping places, marked with white
posts These stopping places will be gen
orally at the corner of each street, and
perhaps at shorter distances apart than
that. They will average about 100 yards
from one and another.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Silver King.

1t is some eight years since that ex-
cellent melodrama, stThe Silver King, +"
was seen in Portland until last evening.
1t is of the best known to the stage
because the interest is kept up, the situ-
ations are exciting and it does not violat,
the probabilities any more than is abso-
lutely necessary to make good play.
1t has some good scenic effects, notice :
ably the Grange at Gardenhurst, Nellie
at Rotherlithe.
But the best feature of the play last
night was the acting. Mr.. Carl A. Has
win was excellent as Wilfred Denver, the
Silver King. His PRESERVATION of drunk
enness in the first act, and his acting,
especially the scene in the office of Geof
frey Ware where be discovers the murder,
was powerful and never overdrawn.
There is too much of the narrowing bust
ness in the first two acts; it is too long
drawn out, which is the great Weakness
of the piece. Mr.. Haswin's haracteriza-
ton of the deaf old idiot in the fourth
act, was capital, and the whole of the
scene was naturally done
The support was capital througout.
Francis Campbell as "The Spider, ;"
Cutbert Cooper as g Father Christmas"
Frank Davis as Harry Corbett'' and
Frances Haswin as Nellie Denver"
were exceedingly good. We must not
forget to mention that sterling old actor
S. H. Verney as Jakies the family see
want Mr.. Verney was a member Of the
old Boston Theatre Company with the
late John Gilbert and John Fl. Stoddard,
and was for a time stage manager of
Fanny Marsh's theatre in this city. The
little girl who personated Denver's child
was very cunning.
The audience was delighted with the
play and called the curtain after the
third and fourth acts. The play will
be repeated tonight.
The stockbridge Course.
The tickets are selling rapidly, for the
Stockbridge entertainments and for the
Paderewski matinee But don't fail to
secure your seats if you have not already
procured them.
(The New York Herald, July 13)
The small boy, who when asked his
age, replied that, judged by the fun he
had had, he was 100 years old, pretty &C
curately described the feeling of the large
audience at the Academy last night.
Lillian Kennedy made decided hit, and
the amusement that was crowded into
three hours to unravel "a Midnight
Frolic' was enough for two nights; and
all the.rolls essayed by Miss Kennedy
andS the strong support, We're equally
charming and successful. The company
is far above the average, and is sure of
big business.
