succeeded in giving the investigation OF
the street commission a rap and referred
to the barrel of sand which:
elias gone astray,
On the shores of Casco Bay" etc
and to the dump cart with which" Staples
got SO gay'' This hit brought down the
house and 1t roared its approval for some
minutes, but Mrs. Jarley's time was so
valuable that she could not waste it in
repeating the parody again. The young
ladies and gentlemen who participated in
this exhibition ell took their parts very
creditably and did great deal towards
making Miss McCobb's part of the enter.
tainment the best of the kind that has
been seen in Portland for a long time.
Another very novel and interesting feat
ure of the evening was that given by
Winnie Ream Hoxie. She took a big lump
of clay and with Mayor Charles Fl. Ran
dali as her model succeeded in making
from the clay very good bust of the
mayor in few minutes. The crowd
watched the clay grow under the touch of
Mrs. Hoxie, into the we'll known features
and head Of the mayor and applauded the
clever artist very enthusiastically at the
completion of her labors.
During the evening music was fur
nished by the Beethoven Mandolin and
Guitar club under the direction Of Miss
Swasey, and this was also very much en-
Joyed by the audience, the club being en-
cored several times. From six o'clock
until 7.30 o'clock the ladies of the Second
Parish, First Baptist, Pine street and
Abyssinian societies furnished and served
supper to hungry multitude, and the

DISCOURAGED,
Herman Klensfeldt Commits Suicide in
New York.

News has just been received in this
city of the suicide Of Herman Klensfeldt
in New York city. He hanged himself to
death, and in one of his coat pockets was
found the card of Portland man who
was member of club at Cape Eliza
beth, for whom Klensfeldt worked last
summer.
Klensfeldt was about twenty three
years of age and came to this country
from Germany about two years ago. He
landed in New York and then came to
Portland about year ago. While here he
worked at Weferlings cafe, Thompson 8
fruit store and at the Woodbine lunch
room. He left Portland some two months
ago and had just money enough to buy a
ticket to New York city. There, unable
to find work, he became discouraged, and
this explains the cause of his rash act.

Grand Trunk Pay Car Here.

Yesterday was pay day at the Grand
Trunk. More men than usual are EN-.
ployed here, and the pay car was thronged
This car is new institution, the men
formerly having been paid locally The
car does not carry cash, however, but
each man receives and receipts for his pay
draft, which may be cashed at any bank.
This system has the advantage of enab-
ling officials from the main office to see
the men personally, and know the ap-
pearance and physical ability of their
men.

eight O'Clock. A good attendance is re-
quested.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1897-10-14

The attendance last night was very
large and every seat in the galleries and
on the floor of the hall was taken while
many people were obliged to stand durin 2
the entire evening. The crowd was a very
liberal one, also and patronized the many
booths without stint. The scene in the
large hall was most attractive one dur
ing the evening. The many colored booths
with their magnificent decorations, pre-
sided over by handsome ladies, constantly
surrounded by an ever moving crowd ad-
ded much to the animation and beauty OF
the scene The entertainment last night
was a most enjoyable one, and was re-
ceived with much favor. Miss McCobb
exhibited her famous "Jarley Wax Fig
gers" in her usual laughable and inter-
esting manner. There were some twenty
or more figures representing all manner
of famous people in history and mytholo-
gy land for each one Miss McCobb or Mrs.
farley had some story to tell, some paro-
dy on popular songs or poems to recite
which simply brought down the house.
Through telephone on the stage Mrs.
farley was in constant communication
with Her Majesty Queen Victoria, and
her conversations with England's ruler
and other mem bers of the Royal family
were highly amusing. In parody on
the song tOn the Road to Mandelay, -
Mrs. farley worked in some very good
hits on Portland and some of It's people.
The chorus Of this song went something
like this:
Come We back to Casco Bay,
Where the coz and paddock play,
Where the guns Of Fort Preble
May be heard across the way
Came ye back to Casco Bay,
Where the great white squadron lay
And the tinkle of their paddles
May be heard across the bay.
This is taking great deal of liberty
with Mrs. Jarley's verse, but the parody
was built on these lines from the song
whichsevery one is humming now days.

IT is interesting to note the opln- ion of several Governors as to the action of Nevada in inviting the contest between Corbett and Fitz- simmons. Gov Jones, of Arkansas, says: "The Nevada law is exceed ingly unwise. We would not toler- ate such thing in Arkansas. Gov Renfrow, of Oklahoma, says it is an imposition on good society. Gov, Briggs, of North Dakota, is of the opinion that it opens the door to ontlawry generally. Gov. Wells, of Utah says it is subordination of public morals to temporary moneta- " gain. Gov. Mount, of Indiana, regards the Nevada law as utterly iniquitous and monstrous. Thus, in brief, we have the sentiment oi the better element concerning the ac- tiop of Nevada Gov. N els, of Utah, speaks the truth: It is a subordination of public morals to temporary monetary gain. - ,iak aasas Dmocrat
