The concert closed with a brilliant
wondering of the great quartette from
"Rigolstto, and the audience reluctant
ly left the hall. Mr.. Isadore Luckstone,
who is an admirable pianist, and who
was--warmly applauded from mis- capital

evening most satisfactorily.

Thos. Q. Seabroolze.
Mr.. broadhurst has written many hap
py expressions for Thomas O. Seabrooke
in the play of "The Spectator. None
are more apropos of the character of the
man than when be exclnims, "I'm short
on grammar, but long on earth" Dur
ing his youth his time was occupied in
earning q living which left but little
chance for attending school, but still the
kindness of heart and love for his fam
lily are all there, and 1t is in the portray
al of these qualities that MIR. Seabrooke
rises to the most convincing and moving
heights, and is genuine beyond express
sion. Not even In the comedy situations
of the piece is he ever artificial, and he
gives to the role finish and clevsrness
in light and shade that renders it most
interesting. At Portland Theatre. JAN

state Election Ballots.

Col. A. D. Russell, deputy secretary OF
State, is just beginning the work OF
working up the number Of ballots, and,
so far as possible, of making up the bal
lots for next falls election. The law pro-
vides that there shall be 90 ballots made
for every so votes cast in 1892, thus allow
Ing for an increase Of 20 per cent.
Mr.. Russell recently sent out inquiries
to the several clerks of courts of the
different counties for the officers who are
to be chosen by ballot, the coming fall.
In 1899 there were. 1164 officers elected, an
increase of about 80 over that OF the
previous presidential Year. These officers
include the Governor, representatives to
Congress, senators. representatives to
the Legislature and the various county
officers. The ballots, when ready, will be
distributed to the clerks of the $50 or
more cities. towns, and plantations In
the State. 1t is q matter of only some "a
tons of paper.

nifty clubs both dined there. The Fra
ternity had the small dining room, and
used suite in The Stuart for the meet
ing proceeding the dinner The dinner
was excellent. Judge Robinson enter
tanned and Mayor Baxter read the paper.
1t was Ladies Night wi it'll the Lister
Club, which is composed of number OF
the best known surgeons of the city.
Onthat account special arrangements had
been made. The table was laid in the
large dining room, and was marvel Of
artistic taste. Large banquet lamps with
oolored shades lent their soft light.
From great messy mounds sprang large
beds of variegated tulips. Beautiful ferns
and wreaths of smilax, added to the
effect. Each of the ladies' menus was
fastened with a large cluster of roses that
ser we'd for corsage bouquet, and the
gentlemen's with handsome bouton-
Mere. The menu Itself was one of the
best ever provided at dinner in Port
land, and it was duly appreciated and
complimented. 1t bore fine portrait OF
Sir Joseph Lister. The dinner was
served at 9. 30 O'clock, and about thirty

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.


Mr.. William P. Goss was out driving
about half past two yesterday afternoon.
He drove down Temple street from Con-
gress. At the corner of Federal one of the
runners of the sleigh caught in the cleo
tirc car track, twisting 1t and turning
the sleigh over. Mr.. Goss was thrown
out but fortunately was not injured ex-
oept bad shaking up. The horse De-
came frightened at the accident and
started on a run with the broken sleigh
at his heels humping along behind and
took to the sidewalk on the left hand side
of the street going down. Wagons ana
carriages were standing along the curp
but he missed them as we'll as the trolley
poles. He also missed colliding with ".
l.. Wilson & Co.'s delivery wagons.
The horse turned into Exchange street,
just grazing the pole on the corner, ana
headed for city hail, in the middle OF the
street. Upon reaching Congress street the
runaway went up Congress to Temple,
down Temple to Federal again. He then
essayed to go over the same route again
and this time he took the right hand side
of Federal street. He got as far as Ber-
sons stable door when young man ran
out and bravely caught the bride and as
there was large wagon drawn by four
horses on the sidewalk the runaway came
to standstill.

INDEX MAKING.
1t Requires an Elevator and Telephone.

1t REQUIRES an Elevator and Telephone.
Register of Deads G. Fred Murch began
work yesterday on the index of Cumber-
land county deeds, he having contracted
with the county commissioners to do the
work. 1t will take from year to year
and a half to complete the index. The
work is being done by six young ladies'
in the jury room in the third story. Mr.
Murch has had an elevator rugged just
outside the windows that open into the
inner court in thu lower hall He will
have telephone connecting the register
of deeds with the room upstairs. When
the young ladies want a book or books to
work with they will telephone down and
1t will be placed in the elevator and they
can pull it up. This will save great
deal Of walking up and down two flights
of stairs. 1t is suggested that the material
OF which the elevator is made might be
improved upon, but the ingenuity OF the
device is beyond criticism.

WAS A FAKE" ALARM.
The Department Had Hard Run Through
the Storm and Some Idiot Is Probably
Happier for 1t.

The blooming false alarm idiot is
abroad again, and Chief Eldridge whit his
new b GARD OF engineers and the depart
ment were treated to a sample of his skill
last evening. At about half past nine an
alarm was sent in from box 45, at the
corner OF Market and Middle streets, and
the department responded promptly,
having hard and dangerous run through
the hard storm and snow covered streets.
When they reached the scene there was
no lire. The little case containing the
Key to the box had been broken and the
door OF the box was open. Not sign of
anybody who knew anything about a
fire.
representative of the PRESS was at
the box before the second round had fair
~ started. A gentleman who is employed
In an Exchange street store, had been
standing by the post office and said he
had observed man along about the COR
ner by B. Q. Bsiley's, where the box is
located, but saw nobody pull the box or
run away.
Portland seems to have more than her
share of these intentional false alarms.
1t may happen again. but the culprit is
sure to be caught in the long run, and
when he is, he will Fay dearly for his
idiotio fun.

MICHAEL J. MADDEN DEAD.
The Once Famous Ball Player Is No
More.

After a long and lingering illness
Michael j. Madden Of this city, known
in professional ball circles and to the
public as "Kid" Madden, passed away
last evening.
Madden was at one time one of the most
promising pitchers in the country and
achieved no little distinction in the ma
tional game, but failing health cut short
what promised to be remarkable Ca
reer. He first achieved distinction with
the Portland team of '86 under Harry
Spence. John E. Morrill,, who was then
Boston's manager, signed Madden for
the season Of 1877. The little south-paw
went to Boston. where he remained up
wards Of five seasons He went over to
the Brotherhood in 80. At the Hub
the famed King Kelly caught Mad
den. The two formed the est. Michael
battery.
In '91, after finishing with Boston, he
Joined the Baltimores, with whom he
concluded the season. Next year he started
out with indianapolis, but that team
disbanded early in July. and he returned to
Portland and Joined his old club. He
played left field. however, and not as
pitcher.
In '93 he began with Providence, but
finished with Portland. Two years ago
was his final season in baseball, when
he. played right field for the Haverhills.
Madden, at his best, was one of the
greatest left-hand pitchers that the game
hos ever produced and belonged to q
class that contained such stars as Ramsey
and Kilroy He was a natural batsman
and could also play we'll in the field.
His light figure and decidedly boy ish
appearance earned for him the sobriq uet
of "Kid." He was very popular among
all players and numbered thousands of
admirers among the patrons of the game.
His taking off will be greatly mourned.
A widow and one child survive him.
