The WANDERER RETURNS. Fritz, the
large and handsome St. Bernard dog whose
home is at the Brooks house. disappeared
from his accustomed haunts November 9Th
and as he is not a dog that is given to fol-
lowing strangers his absence caused appre-
tensions as to his fate. In a day or two
however, he was reported to have been seen
about the premises of II. H. Sides on Bel
mont avenue, and later at other places in
that vicinity, He could not be approached
by any one, and appeared to have lost his
bearings. Several searching parties went
out but without success. One day John w
Knight tracked the dog on foot for seven
miles in the direction of Belmont corner, but
did not overtake him. On another occasion
MIR. c. W. Wescott saw the dog and called
him. Fritz turned his head and looked for
a moment and then dashed off into the
woods. Sunday morning about o'clock
Fritz returned home accompanied by
strange dog, who Immediately took his de-
parture. Evidently Fritz had fallen in with
his companion and on explaining his pre-
dicament the latter had piloted the St. Ber-
nard to his home, where it hardly need be
said he was warmly welcomed. The dog
had lost flesh and was quite lame as the re-
suit OF his unreasonable outing.
"BLUE JEANS" This popular REALISTIC play
will be presented at the Belfast Opera
House Friday evening, Nov. 10Th From the
opening scene, where Jacob Tutewiler the
village cobbler, is at work at his bench, to
the climax in the third act, in which saw
mill is represented in full blast the people
go about their duties as handily and with as
great seeming familiarity with their respec-
tive trades as if they had worked at them all
their lives. The stage settings are studious-
inc +ioti+
ness of canvas and paint is largely replaced
by the real articles to be represented. The
saw mill scene is a turning point in the plot,
but it is not scene around which play has
been written. The events of the previous
acts lead up to it naturally, and while it en-
hances the interest in the performance, the
play is not dependent on it for it's success.
1t is managed by real machinery, shafting
and belts, and three large circular saws in
rapid revolution. The company is we'll
selected and we'll balanced all contributing
generously to the success of the piece. The
music on the stage includes good selections
by male quintette and variety of political
and other numbers by the Rising Sun
Roarers." This is as almost impossible must
cal aggregation and must be seen as well as
hea I'd in order to be appreciated.
