The DEAcoN's DAUGHTER. The above
title seemed to arouse the curiosity of the
New York public so much SO that on the
opening night the house was packed to the
doors. The success of the play was instan-
tanecus, and during the entire New York
engagement the theatre was crowded The
same big success was duplicated in all the
large cities. The company is a powerful and
nedy, as Ruth, presents d characterization.
which for histrionic ability has never been
surpassed on the American stage.
Yesterday, Oct 7th, was begun the weigh
ing OF mails on all the railroads and in the
principal post offices of New England to
make estimates on which to base the gov
ernment contracts with the railroads for car
rylng the mails for the next four years be-
ginning July l, 1897. The weighing of the
mails is done every four years and occasions
lots of work and trouble for the post office
and railway mail service officials. The work
in the Belfast post office will be done by the
regular force; but in the larger offices weigh
ers are appointed and receive $3 day for
the thirty days they are employed.
BIG DEALS FOR '96 AND 81 There is no
business which admits of SO many innova-
tions as the theatrical business. The pres
ent age might be appropriately styled THE
Realistic" Men with vast capital have en-
tered the field, and their rivalry and spirit
ed competition have called forth the most
astounding results. The public crave amuse-
ments as one of the most essential necessi-
ties of life, and are so thoroughly educated
as to the merits of what is good or bad that
it pays best to cater to them by presenting
only what is certain to be stamped 80. X -
One of the strongest theatrical enterprises
which opened in New York City is the great
we'll known Sentimental Comedy "The
Deacon's Daughter that made such a ter
rifle big hit in all the large cities, for which
extensive preparations have been carried
on, all special scenery with a magnificent
company OF selected artists, and is sure to
fed success that it has made in all the large
cities, and it is unanimously conceded by
| newspapers and theatrical critics that among
the big deals for '96 and 97 will be found
Lillian Kennedy in "The Deacon's Daugh-
ter"

place of the Ruth. The recently published
rumor that the Maine Central Railroad Co
had purchased a controlling interest in the

without foundation. In reply to inquiries
