The Pilgrim reached here yesterday
morning, and Capt. Parsons reported

boat.
J. W. Trefethen reported the arrival
yesterday of the schooner Mystic Tie,
with 5000 pounds of halibut. The small

mackerel.
The schooner Uranus arrived yesterday
light fom St. Thomas. She loaded there
with sugar, but when one day out a leak
was discovered, and the captain returned,
discharged cargo and sailed light home.
1t was the cheapest way out of the diff

would have sold for to have repaired
at st. Thomas, according to what cap
tains tell of the charges there.
The old schooner Sea Bird, is being

LETTER THIEF.
Melville E. NIiIlett Arrested Yesterday For
Larceny.

Melville E. Millett, 13-year old boy,
was arrested yesterday for larceny of let
ters sent through the mail.
For over three months Rev. Henry S.
Burrage, D. D., the editor Of lions Ad-
vocate, has been missing letters contain
ing money from his mail. At first he
thought that mistake might have been
made in the post office department, but
as he kept on losing money sent in pay
msnt for subscriptions, his suspicious
were aroused.
DR.. Burrage called on postmaster
George L. SWEET and told him about his
loss. Mr.. SWEET notified United States
Marshal John B. Donavan and also Post
Office Inspectors W. B.Snow and Brown.
The inspectors have been in the city the
entire week. Decoy letters containing
money were sent out and were found on
young Millett when he was arrested.
One was unopened and another had been
opened, but a part of the money was
found in one of his pockets.
Mil!ett is employed as messenger at
the Thurston Print, on Exchange street.
where the lions Advocate is published.
Ii has for several months been tine boys
custom to take the proof sheets to DIR.
Burrage for correction, and in that way
be has had access to the Office of the
editor. The inspectors when satisfied
who the calprit was, notified the police
and the arrest was made. The boy Sc
cured S6.25.
Rev. James G. Merrill, D. D., the edi-
tor sof the Christian Mirror also noted
Irregularities and frequent mistakes
in his mail. The Mirror is also published
at the Thurston Print establishment and
young Millett has had access to the edi-
torial sanotum of DR.. Merrill.
The boy lives with his parents in
Stroudwater, his father being Mr.. Plant
S. Millett. The letters had been de-
livered and had passed out of the custo-
dy of the United States officials. So the
boys offence was simply larceny.

An Evening of Shakespeare and Mem
deIssohn.

delssohn.
On Thursday evening, juno IS, Mr..
George Riddle will give his famous read
ing of A Midsummer Nights Dream, in
which :. ne will have the assistance of
Mr.. Oh. G. Parkyn, who will render the
entire Menelsshon music upon his fayorite
instrument, tho aeolian. Mr.. Riddle s
reputation is too widely known to re-
quire more than the bare mention of his
name. His recent visits here are still
fresh in the memory of all who heard
his mastery presentation Of this drama
in the Stockbridge course. Of Mr..
Parkyn's abilities as performer upon
the aeolian, there seems to be but one
opinion. In series of concerts recently
given by him in Boston, such well
KIN own critics as B. E. Woolf of the Bos-
ton Herald, Philip Hale of the Journal,
and Louis Elson of the Advertiser, speak
in unqualified terms of :praise, going so
far as to compare his playing to that of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra. There
are many residents of Portland includ-
ing the writer, who are familiar with
Mr.. Parkyn's able manipulation of this
instrument, and it is safe to predict a
large audience for Thursday evening.
Tickets are now on sale at Stock
