Mr.. E. A. Duchamp will soon
make extensive repairs to his
brick properties on Main Street,
that will improve greatly the look

One of these improvements will

This improvement will be a great

We would like to call the par
ticular attention of the Police Ju-
rors of the First ward to the road
leading to Loreauville, just few
acres east of the cemetery. This
road for short distance is full of
holes that are dry at this time,
and could be filled with an expen-
diture of less than five dollars.
All that is necessary is to dig q
ditch on each side, and throw the
dirt i'm the holes. If that piece of
road is not repaired before we get
some rain, it will again become
impossible. r.,s

OBITUARY..


Mrs. Martha E. Holden, better known
to the world of newspaper readers as
Amber" died at ST. Luke's hospital,
Chicago yesterday, from the effects of an
operation for cancer performed on her a
week ago.
Mrs Holden was one of the most
brilliant and versatile writer's of Chicago,
and was we'll known all over the country.
She was born in Hartford. She was
especially well known in Maine, having
made the tour Of the summer resorts,
sending back to Chicago papers brilliant
series of descriptive letters. She was at
the Waldo house the night it burned, and
had very narrow escape. She was taken
to the house Of Mr.. James H. Hamlen,
and the next day spoke of the loss Of her
personal effects as matter too trif1ing to
be worth talking about, although it was
Il serious matter with her. "a little
honest hard work will make it all right,
she said. She greatly admired this section
OF the Maine coast and was much in
terssted in the plans Of the late Sidney
W. See, for the rebuilding of the Waldo.

officials. He recently served q sentence
OF fifteen months in Massachusetts iail
and six months in the house of correc
tlon."
Deputy Hartnett was shown the above
last evening and said that Allen as far as
known to the officers did not stop in
Portland at all. but simply met Mr..
Verrill and exchanged teams with him.
He gave MIR. Verrill very good trade,
and received team and a watch A
short time after ne met Mr. Hamlin of
Deering and traded the Verrill team for
a watch.
Deputy Hartnett does not know of apy
other charge here against the man who
stole the Cummings team. At the ouest
of Marshal ST. John Of Deering. the
Portland officers telephoned to Boston
and asked to have the man detained if he
was on tho Boston boat, but he was not
found.
NHe got off with SIS in money" said
Deputy Hartnett, land two watches
worth about s45. All the Deering or
Portland officers had at the time to work
on was a not very satisfactory description
of the man. Ihe horse he exchanged
with Mr.. Verrill showed signs of hard
driving. but there WAS nothing suspicious
about the man, and as he was willing to
give good trade he found both Deering
men ready to make an exchange.

ARREST OF FOUR MEN.
They Were Trying to Run Things to Suit
Themselves and Were Run In

Late last evening Patrolmen Quinn and
Merrill had hard fight with crowd of
roughs on f ederal street. They were
called to a clu b room where there seemed
to be the widest kind of row going on
Mr.. Quinn was in the lead and when he
entered the room a man had hammer
in hisE hand and was in the act of
striking another man, who appeared to
he doing his best TO stop the row. Mr..
Quinn got in one blow and dropped his
man. Mr.. Merrill was close behind and
as he went up the stairs a man barred
then he went down.
The two officers then proceeded to arrest
the fighting four, who seemed to be try
ing to run the place, according to their
own ideas, but they resisted and only
yielded after being knocked down. They
proved to be tJake" Conway or Conroy
"Chuckey'' Feeney. Eddie" Doyle and
John Quinoannon. The men were ironed
and taken to the station, and will go be-
fore Judge Robinson this morning
AS near as the officers could ascertain
the facts in the case the four men had
been on Free street, and then drifted to
Federal street, and to the room where
they were found. Then their demand for
liquor resulted in prompt refusal, and
free fight followed. Two of the gang
had been discharged only few hours the
grand jury having failed to find an in
dictment against them.

Mrs, Er wing Winslow's Reading at State St.
Church.

Mrs. Winslow read in the State street
church vestry last evening 60 large
and delighted audience. 1t is always un-
fortunate, as in the present case, to have
our hope deferred,'' but we could we'll
walt for this brilliant readers recovery
from severe cold for the pleasure which
she gave US, for, to hear Mrs. Winslow
give one of her unique renderings is no
common pleasure. She is not mere
'elocutionist" and does not call painful
attention to her selooution' so often a
ynonym for something very disagree
able. She gives what is one of the most
desirable things of its kind-interpreta-
tive reading bringing ont the authors
Thought with peculiar grace and skill.
Thus in her reading last spring of lbsen's
"Doll House," no one thought at the
time how well she was doing it, but how
great was the work of the master. and
only later did one care to reflect upon
the very rare ar of the interpreter.
Those who heard Mrs, Winslow read
"Nance Oldfield'' were struck by the
lightness of touch and the fineness of the
presentation of the witty and yet woman
ly actress who wins our own as well as
the irate fathers heart
For her reading Of last evening Mrs.
Winslow selected Peg Wofflngton," that
real masterpiece of the witty Charles
Reade, written before he lost himself in

afford ed the reader fine opportunity for
the exercise Of her many and very un-
usual gifts. Those who can recall Mrs.
"Winslow's' Peg when in old Boston
Museum days she assumed the role to
William Warren's Triplet, had the scene
foroibly brought back to them last night.
How dashing she was in some scenes;
how overwhelming was her good nature,
with what delicate fnesse she assisted
tine old artist and when the story
was told one came back 70 their actual
surroundi ngs with feeling as if they
had stepped from other places and scenes.

the medium OF intelligent fun, delight to

in store next Monday evening. the occas-
ion being the appearance of the eminent
playwright anu comedian William Gill

be the brightest comedy of the day, "Too

The brightest of all extrayaganzas.
Edeward E. Rice's "1492' will be given
at the City Hall Friday and Saturday,
with its galaxy of prominent artists and
glittering scenic adornments. Many new
and elaborate improvements have beer
made and UP to date satires and special
ties introduced. resulting in the bu,
lesque being stronger than ever. The
title of Rises "Surprise Party'' is by nc
means misnomer as the entertainment
fairly teens with surprises. Mr.. Rice
has proven himself such genius in the
burlesque line that novelty is ) really
synonymous with the mention of bis
name. 1t is an assured fact that. ''1492'
has suffered no loss at the hands of its
new dressmakers. Owing to the engage
ment being limited the business here will
in all probability be enormous. The
tickets can be secured at Chandler's
music store.
