TO the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
Will you allow mo to say that the Ca
tholic party of which Rev. DIR. Dalton
speaks in his communication respecting
Rev. Mr.. Papineau is the party which re-
presents the true principles of the Holy
Catholic church This statement the writer
proved from historical evidence in his ar
ticle on Bishop Neely's episcopate, which
was published in the Sunday Telegram
of January "a --The writer knows that
Mr.. Papineau did not intend to show any
discourtesy to the representative of the
Maine Bible society therefore he thinks
that was the reason that Mr.. Papineau
did not avail himself of the opportunity
which was afforded him in the diocesan
convention held in st. Lukes cathedral
of defending himself against an unjust
charge.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Whittier's Comedians.

The Biddeford Record thus speaks of
this company that will be here at Port
land Theatre next week:
The attraction last night was BARLEY
Campbell's sThe Galley Slave" and it
was given splendid presentation. The
stage settings were handsome, the mem
bers Of the company were all equal to the
requirements put upon them and every
care was given to the minutest detail.
Sidney Norcott, the galley slave was in
the hands Of Carroll Daily, and he was all
that could be expected of him. The COM
edy part of John Franklin Fits was in
tle hands of Mr.. Crolius, and his humor
throughout the evening was very enjoy
able and he was again and again ap-
plauded for the excellence of his work.
The leading lady of the company is Miss
Edith Ives, and as Cicley Blaine she was
very strong, at times rising far above
the leading lady of the ordinary roper
to re company.
The Island Theatre.
If we may judge from the unusually
large sale of reserved seats there will be a
hot time at Peaks Island theatre next
Monday night when "a Social Highway
man. will make his first ..bow before a
Portland audience. BARLEY McCallum
has worked very hard for the past nine
years to win the confidence of Portland
theatre goers and the result is most graft
flying. They all know that when they go
to the Peaks Island theatre that they will
get more than the full value of their
money.
Mr.. McCallum hopes to make this, his
tenth season, more brilliant than any
proceeding one. He has secured the best
and strongest plays available and he
undoubtedly has the. best stock company
in this part Of the country. IA Social
Hlghwayman' the opening play, will be
cast as follows:
Courtice Jaffrey, William III. Pascoe
Livingston Remson, John K. Armstrong
Gordon Key, L. B. Bridgeland
Carolus Despard, Norman ID. Conniers
Merton Harley, Arthur Livingston
George Bartlett, Park Hughes
jenkins Handy, BARLEY McCullum
Sonora Lila Caprices, Lisle Leigh
Duchesse Of Clayborough
Geneveve Reynolds
Elinor Burnham, Maude Winter
Miss Munyon Pyle, Beatrice Ingram
Mrs. Deane, Helene Robertson
Dora La Fargo, Blanche Hall
The entire production will be under the
personal direction of BARLEY McCullun.

The bfnancier says: A feature OF the
statement of the Associated Bank state
ment for the week ending October 10th
that attracted some attention was the
shrinkage in loans. 1t is rather difficult
to explain the loss, except on the theory
that there has been great deal Of liqui-
dalton in Stock Exchange business and
an analysis Of the items of the individual
banks shows that the loan changes in
two large institutions, the National Union
and the National City banks, account for
the difference reported since the previous
week
The effect of the gold imports is shown
In the increase of specie. The gain OF
legal-tenders-the first expansion in this
item since August 2Sth-seems to show
That the interior movement is nearing an
end. This is not an actual cause, al
though the drain during the week has
been less than usual.
All the gold imported last week does
not figure in the totals. so that 1t is i'm
possible to suppose the position OF the
banks is stronger than is indicated.
The statement points TO an extraordi-
nary money market, in the absence or
snecula tion and the official statements OF
the national banks, as published last
week, showing their strong position,
strengthen this view. The rising rates for
money abroad and the continued ease
here. foreshadow such a situation as pre-
vailed last season, when the United States
loaned large amounts to Europe on ster-
ling bills. The quotations for money in
New York and London are undergoing
changes which viii probably place them
above domestic use for some time TO
come.

testing legatees has become a
common feature in our courts.
Mr.. Tilden, reputed one of the
shrewdest lawyers of the country.
left will, drawn with great care,
yet the courts riddled it. 1t has
come to be a saying that the will
of a rich man is seldom water
tight. A will case i'm our local
courts that of the late.
James 7. Thornton, has at
tracted public attention be-
cause of the fact that deceased
for manyyears was identified with
the business of our city as one of
its leading financiers and bankers.
Mr.. Thornton was so careful, was
so exact and intelligent a bust
ness man that no one who knew
him could think that he would be
at fault when it came to dispOsing
of his estate. His will is drawn
with mastery exactness and
the contention over it in
the courts has attracted con-
siderable interest, the gen.
eral feeling being favorable to the
validity of the will. When a
man has spent a life time accumu-
lating fortune the law gives him
the right to devise his estate as he
deems fit. The courts here and
in Kansas have held this will val
id so that it would seem that
one business man at last has
been able to make a will that
holds water.
