WORK OF HIGHwAYMEN.
Mr.. Owens Held Up, beaten, ana
Robbed by Two Negroes.

white man named Owens, who drives
q m,lk-wagon for Mr.. c. w. Francis,
daIrvman residing just beyond Barton
Heiehts. was waylaid and robbed Mon
day night by two negro highwaymen'
who first beat him into insensibility. MI
Owens was returning TO the farm from
his last trip TO the city, and was driving
along a lonely part of the road beyond
Barton Heights, when the two robbers
sprang out from a clump of bushes, De-
hind which they had been hiding.
One OF the men seized the horses mead
and stopped him. while the other sprahg
upon the wagon, and presenting pistoi
TO Mr.. Owens's head, ordered him 10 step
down and out. Having nothing 10 ue-
fend himself with. the milkman obeyed
the rough command. AS soon us ne
reached the ground both men jumped
unon him and beat him almost into a
state OF insensibility. They wound up
bv taking from his pockets all the money
ne had. which amounted to about a.
when Mr. Owens recovered himself, the
men were gone, while his horse stood In
the road patiently waiting for him. Be
vond some painful bruises and the loss
~ the money he was none the worse
Yesterday for his startling adventure.
No traces Of the robbers have yet been
found. but Mr.. Owens thought he recog-
nized in one of his assailGnts former
EMPLOYEE Of Mr.. Francis. and some ar
rests may soon follow. The matter has
been reported to the county authorities,
and the police are at work on clue.
The County Court convened yesterday
morning. with Judge Thomas NJ. Mutter

Wickham.
The $500 bail bond Of John Jones, the
negro school teacher of Tuckahoe. who
Il charged with assaulting his pupils, was
forfeited through the defendants non

The case was tried. but the jury could
not agree. and the second trial was set
for yesterday morning.

MR.. EBERT HUBBARD.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Only writer can fully appreciate the
art. of theaunsa:d. Only writer catholic
enough to have left behind him the
metres and bounds of conventionalism
can appreciate Mr.. Hubbard What he
gives us in his series of literary talks
is seemingly SO sketohy aud SO light that
the study, reading and thought necessary
to an impressionist portrait is apt to
be lost to view, and the Inundated list
ener is prone to feel that here is easy
work. On the contrary Madame Guyon
and Fenelon must be very real and very
interesting in the consciousness of a writ
er, to enable him to take an audience SO
completely with him into the atmosphere
of those great souls.
This is illustrated by the fact that after
the talk on Mrs Browning, young
school girl was heard to say: GIVE al
ways read about those people who lived in
Mrs. Browning's day, but it was vague.
Now she and her friends seem planted
in my mind"
AS to Mr.. Hubbard's quiet humor
we shrewdly suspect that with our
raconteur 1t would not be unworthy the
true Philistine were he just little out
OF sympathy with statistics and definite
conclusions and just little in love with
the vivid, condensed presentation of an
experience, an emotion, an aspiration.
The Philistine is no disciple of didacti-
,lsm. We have heard Ebert Hubbard q
talks and we hesitate to attempt to put
IN black and white description of their
quality. 1t cannot be done.
AS one said of droll story which was
taken literally: ''The fault is not with
the story" The delicacy and wit and
sweetness of these appropriations of dis
tinguished men and women, their novelty
and their charm, must, with hearty lit
erary hospitality find hosts and hostesses
of ready ear and awakened perception
then are unlocked treasures of deep feel
ing and true reverence only yelled by the
depicting of familiar incidents and con-
versattons put in every day guise that he
and may turn the kaleidoscope for our
selves and arrange anew the groups of
other days or of these days, thereby los
ing something of the monotony and arti
f1ciality which tend to gather about those
enshrined in any niche of the world a
history as great. They too, were men
and women full of love and life. LET ne
for the nonce live with them.
Mr. Hubbard has very large and in.
terested audience here and will visit some
ten or twelve other places in Maine DIR
ing the next two weeks r

LECTURE BY DIR. YOUNG.

Egerton R. Young, missionary, pioneer,
author and canoeist, has been serured
by the ladies of the Indian Association
to give the address at their annual meet
ing on the evening Of Thursday, Novem,
Der 4th at the Second Parish church. DIR.
Young relates in an inimitable manner
his thrilling stories of adventure of hui
morous experience and pathetic incident
among the Indians of the far north.
His heroic journeys through the snow,
drawn by dogs are described most vivid
~. 1t has been said of him "that Robin
son Crusoe himself can scarcely beat
Egerton Young, and the story is
true. At the recent conference at
Lake Mohonk, he produced deep impress
sion by his eloquence, enthusiasm and
telling of facts.
The association reckon themselves fort
innate to have induced him to come to
Portland for this occasion and extend a
cordial invitation to citizens generally
to hear him.
The Portland daily press., 1897-11-02

the NAMELY Guardian said: "Mr. Rich
ard Thomas's treatment of IT with All
Your Hearts" was perfect gem OF mel
ody. He has an unusually fine tenor
His vocal abilities have been highly
spoken of by such capable judges OF hu-
man voices as Randegger, Mr.. ID. Jenk-
ms and others, of whom the prinoipality
should be proud. He was in faultless
voice on this occasion, and his artistic
treatment of his well known songs ex-
torted the warmest encomiums OF all
present.
JOSEPH MURPHY.
On Friday and Saturday evenings anu
Saturday matinee of this week, Joseph
Murphy will appear at The Jefferson IN
his famous plays, "The Kerry Cow and
Shaun Rhue." 1t has been so long
since these plays have been seen IN this
city that they arc practically new TO our
theatre goers, and the announcement OF
their production is exciting unusual IN
tsrest. These plays have served MT.
Murphy during the past twenty-five
years, and with the exception OF Joseph
Jefferson in Grip Va Wrinkle, no actor
has ever appeared for SO long time IN
one play as Mr.. Murphy in "The Kerry
Cow" This play will be presented FIJI
day evening and Saturday matinee, and
'Shaun Rhue'' Saturday night. he
served seats will be ready this morning
at regular prices.
THE GAIETY.
The offering at the the Gaiety this week
drew packed houses at the matinee ana
evening performances.
At the head of the bill was grand
vocal jubilee, introducing IL we'll feat-
ured and gaudily costumed girls, whose
singing and high kicking caught the
fancy of the crowd. Following this was
a bright musical number by Miss Murry.
then dancing by Misses Drake and
Hughes, in which the skirt cut quite a
figure.
An interesting person in the cast Is
Marion Sawtelle. She is just about en-
tering upon tho stage career. is pretty
and in her teens. 1--WE love her just the
same Mamma, please don't cry,
specially composed for her are among
her numbers; also "The Bowery Girl.
Mackie and Walker were vigorously re-
called, while Carol and Nicely in the
burnt cork specialties, did good work.
Forester and Black pictures and char
acter portrayals were novel and well re-
ceived.
The performance concluded with bur-
lesque called the "Hustling Delegate,
which serves as a vehicle for jokes,
marches, etc., in which all the leaders
of the company are brought effectively
to the fore.
The entire bill is good one and likely
to be greeted with crowded houses during
the entire week.

MAINE CENTRAL.
An Old Employe Teuders His Resigna-
ton.

Saturday Conductor ST Owen made his
."s' "Trip as conductor of the train that he
LAS run so many years between Dexter
anu bangor, thus closing long term of
eniclent service for the Maine Central
railroad. Mr.. Owen began railroading in
1907 as station agent at Leeds junction
afterwards running as baggage master be-
tween Bangor and Portland. in which
position he continued until the opening
Oh the Dexter branch in 1868, since which
1lmc he has run as conductor between
Dexter and Bangor. He is "a wears old
and, thinking it about time to take n
rest, he some months fago rendered his
resignation to take effect on Noyemher
!. He has always been faithful to his
employers and well liked by travellers. and
he will be missed on the branch.
1t is in contemplation by the manage
ment to put on another train to Lewiston
to connect with the II 30 train at Bruns-
wick.
Mr.. Heating, the veteran train an
nouncer, has been confined to the house
with illness for some time. His many
friends will be glad to see him back at
his old post again.
The excursion under the auspices of
this road to Boston last week, was the
most successful in the history of the road.
There We're 1242 passengers from the
road and its branches, 753 coming from
Portland, and 4SS from the Mountain di-
vision. Then there was large number
that came down from points on the
Mountain division north of Lancaster
and Conway, and proceeded to Boston by
the lines from those places.
