At the Auditorium.

Maine men who are not abstemious
will do we'll to keep away from the Audi
torium Fair week. To begin with, visitors
will be confronted by forty monkeys en-
acting plays on the stage and presenting
farces with skill and audacity that their
cousins of the human kind-the apes who
walk upright-might envy. A thought
full man emerging from his cups will
hesitate before facing that terror.
If he be adventurous still dizzy
perhaps he will stay; and after passing
the monkey theatre fall upon an albino
deer; the biggest moose that ever browsed
in Maine woods; flying squirrels with
four wings; 1.-THE same old COON" skunks
that recall the seven scents of Cologne;
brown bear or two; and many another
beast in the famous collection of the
Maine fauna. If he escape without the
shivers a certificate of exemption from
nervous prostration may lie given him at
the door.
But seriously: the collection of Maine
animals owned by Mr.. Clifford, the nota-
BILE taxiderlnist, is sight to inger over.
Everything Except us) that ever wore
hair in Maine since the state had a his
tory-from the elk eight feet high down
to the otter whose stature is measured by
inches, figures in this exhibit-an exhibit
which is, naturalists say, the nearest
complete in New England
Anyhow, it will be worth looking at.

THE FLiM-FLAM GAME
Played Successfully on Bird Dealer Bron-
by Saturday Night.

Fred A. Bromby, the bird dealer under
the United States hotel, would like to
have an opportunity of interviewing two
young ssmen who came to him Saturday
night to buy parrot, SO they said, but who
succeeded before they left in buncoing
him out of SIS. Two young men, well
dressed and nice appearing, dropped in
on Mr.. Bromby about o'clock. They
looked at some birds and finally selected
a parrot which they said they would
purchase and would call and get on Mon
day as it was too late to take the bird
home that night just before they left
one of the young men turned to Mr..
Bromby and said:
by the way, have you any IS bills?'
Mr. Bromby allowed that he had.
Glow many of them have your" asked
the man.
Mr.. Bromby replied that he had three.
"Well - said the fellow" | want to
send Sis away in an envelope. Give me
the SIS and I will give you some small
bills l have for it. y
Mr. Bromby handed over the $15. The
man took an envelope out of his pocket
and Mr.. Bromby thought he saw the man
put the money in it. The young man
then pulled roll Of small bills out of his
pocket and after looking them over a
minute, said: That fellow made mis-
take when he gave me this money. Here,
you keep the envelope and I'll go out and
get this money Strengthened out and will
come back and get it little later
So the man handed Mr.. Bromby over
the envelope supposed to contain the SIS
and departed with his companion in q
hurry.
Mr.. Bromby waited for some time for
the men to return and then becoming
suspicious, opened the envelope. In it
there was nothing and Mr.. Bromby real
lied for the first time that he had been
the victim of a shrewd little bunco game.
The police were notified, but up to a
late hour last night had made no arrest.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Gorh AIMS Alabama Troubadours.

0OTh ALABAMA IfOuDauOuEss
The many patrons of Riverton Park
who saw and were delighted by the per-
Torrance of Gorham's Alabama Trouba-
dours on the former visit to that resort
will hail gladly the news that this popu-
lar organization of dusky celebrities Will
begin return engagement on the week
commencing today. Manager uor-
mans novel idea in presenting actual
scenes from life in the cotton 1lelds MADE
an immense hit here, and the various
pastimes of slavery days are faithfully por-
trayed by genuine Southern negroes who
but short time ago sang the same songs,
danced the same steps, and engaged in
theusame sports on their home plantations
more than thousand miles away. There
are buck and wing dancers, jubilee sing
ers, camp-meeting shouters, funny picka-
ninnies, and grotesque comedians galore,
and an old-time cake walk in which the
colored aristocracy exhibit for the edifica-
ton of their white friends, the poetry and
grace of motion.
McCu1lum's Theatre.
1t is singular fact, but nevertheless it
is true, that the verdict of an audience is
necessary to decide whether play will
be success or failure. The shrewdest
managers, the most brilliant authors and
actors, old and young. without number,
all have tried their hands at picking out
successes and have all been forced to the
conclusion that production is necessary
to decide the merits of play. Ala
bama, the four-act drama by Augustus
Thomas, that BARLEY McCullum will pre-
sent tomorrow night at the Peaks Island
theatre, is an illustration of this. A. M.
Palmer, the manager of the Madison
Square theatre, New York, had this play
in his possession for more than year.
He was afraid to produce it, but when he
had been almost ruined by four or five
expensive failures in succession he gave
g Alabama trial as last resort. Like
ssSecret Service,' it met with wonderful
success. 1t returned the fortune of the
manager and brought fame to it's author.
This great play will be beautifully staged
by Mr.. McCullum with the full strength
of the company in the cast

tarrh is stubborn one, d1-
ing the second month the dose
should be increased to two tablespoon
fuls, and after that no further increase in
the dose should be made. But delicate
persons, male or female, should begin
with a teaspoonful four times n day, as
above and gradually increase it so that
ut the end of n month Tablespoonful is
taken ut each dose. Such persons should
continue this dose until cured.
Pe-ru-ra is the only medicine required
to cure chronic or acute catarrh, whether
located in the nose, head. throat, or in
any part of the body. In thirty-five years
the writer has never met with a single
case that this remedy did not effect an
entire cure, when it was sufficiently perse
vered in.
|. 1t sometimes happens, however, that
the accumulation of dried mucous in the
nose interferes with breathing to such an
extent that ii ought to be removed every
morning, and every evening, so that Pc
ru-na will not be retarded in its curative
action. The best and most effectual way
to remove this hardened mucous is MS fol-
lows: ,4,t
Make weak solution If salt and warn
water (say an even tablespoonful Of salt
to quart of warm water), snuff it UP
from the palm of the hand through the
nose. SO as to come out through the
mouth; also blow the nose Continue this
process until you are sure that all mucous
and scabs from the nose and the upper
part of the throat have been renoysj
DO this on going to bed and on getting up
in the morning twice daily, This will
enable you to breathe through the nose
Another complaint is sometimes made,
and that is, the patient will take fresh
cold while under treatment, and which
also rctards the curative effects Of the
Pe-ru-na. This can be entirely prevent
ed by gargling with n strong solution Of
salt water The very best way of gar,
Cling is as follows
Put six tablcspoonfuls of common ta-
bic salt into one quart of, cold water and
keep the solution ina cold place. Then
be seated in a low-backed chair, take u
mouthful of the gargle, close the. Iifs

This will keep you from taking fresh

cure every case.
There is no use for people to endure a
miserable existence with this Ioathesomc
and distressing disease, when so sure a

TWO BIRDS AT ONE THROW.
Effect on the Canal Project and Arbitra-
ton Treaty BY the Rodriguez Letter.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Senators general
ly realize that the communication of Min
lister Rodriguez in regard to the Mica
raguan canal franchise, which was sent
to the senate yesterday, is liable to have
immediate effect upon not only the canal
bin, but also upon other pending and
probable legislation, including the Anglo
American arbitration treaty.
Senators generally express the opinion
that the hrst consequence will be to send
the bill back to the committee ON foreign
relations. 1t is a matter of conjecture
how. long the bill will remain in the COM
mittee if recommitted. but in that event
it is not considered probable that it can
be reported in time to be considered during
the present session.
Quite as important as the effect on the
!, Niearaguan canal bill itself is the inhu-
ence the communication is likely to have
upon the arbitration treaty.
Several senator's believe that the new
position assumed by the Central Ameri-
can powers is the result of British influ-
ence, and the effect is to cause those who
hold that belief to stand aloof from any
alliance. with England. Members of the
committee on foreign relations freely ex-
press the opinion in private conversation
that the effect of the communication will
be entirely against the treaty. The COM
m1ttee on foreign relations VIII mold q
special meeting Monday to take up the
treaty.
Late today the friends of the Mica
ragua canal bill were considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of amending the measure so
as to meet the objections made in Minis
ter Roderiguez's letter, and it now seems
probable that this course will be adopted
by them. The contemplated amend
ments would provide, among other
things, for securing to Nicaragua the
contract percentage of stock and for the
proper representation of. that country
upon the board of directors. They think
that. with the bill amended in these re-
spects they can prevent its recommit-
ment when motion for that purpose is
made, as one is likely to be, early next
week. It is believed that this molten
will be made by Senator Villas.
