THE POLICE COURT.
What Charles Lee Northrop Told Judge
Robinson.

Charles Lee Northrop told Judge
Robinson Saturday that he hae noo oee''
going under an assumed name when .e
called himself Charles Lee. lie tooA 'nis
means of shortening his name, ne saiu' W
avoid newspaper notoriety. The notorleey
would have come to him IN consequence
of thu scrape he got into In tne oiuy u
Westbrook where he was fined for peoolihg
needles without license. Nofu'iiop OK
planned that he had shorUenea MS n"ne
becauseshe had large mum Der OF iriehu
in Cumberland and York counties ana ne
did not want them to read in the papers
of his arrest in Westbrook. That was two
,veeks ago. Northrop was found by Officer
johnson peddling needles in Portland
and inducing people to buy by telling
them that there were money prizes in the
naokages of his wares. Whom arrested he
did not deny violating the law and he
cheerfully pleaded guilty to the charge In
court but he wanted it understood that
when he gave the name of Charles Lee ne
was using his own name. He argued
earnestly to impress on the court the taoS
that if Iuan ia named Charles H"e
Northrop he must also be named Cnarles
Lee, the whole including the part. Oon-
sequently he was not guilty of changing
his name, The court finally intimated to
Mr. Charles Lee Northrop that after all
the charge against him was not that he
had used a part of his name but that ne
had been peddling without license.
Northrop admitted this to be the case
and did not seem disturbed when he
heard the sentence of fifty dollars and
costs. He turned to Deputy Marshal
Hartnett and was soon involved In new
discussion of ''what's in a name?" Then
the order to remove the prisoners cut his
eloquence short and Charles Lee Northrop
fell into line and was lost to sight.
Other cases were disposed of as follows:
Charles A. Scullorn, intoxication; fined
S. and costs.
Charles A. Prime, intoxication; ninety
days in county jail
Ovid defender, resisting officer; tined
$50 and costs.
Ovid defender, intoxication; fined So

lanes Dunn, intoxication; fined S5 and

CONCORD RACING.

At the Capital City Driving Park on
August I'd, Sd and 4th there will be
series of races, and from the entries it is
safe to presume that the racing will be
of the first class.
The association has done a great deal
to improve the track, and already quite
an interest has been shown by the horse
men so that regular season of racing at
Concord may result.
For this meet the Boston & Maine
Railroad has placed reduced rate tickets
on sale at many stations. ~

A Food That Sustains The Body After
Common Food is Exhausted.
With many people there comes feel
ing of faintness and need for food before
the noon hour is reached. This is gen.
orally because of the use of white bread
and other non-nourishing articles of
food used for breakfast. 1t is cause OF
comment among those who use the con-
centrated food, Grape-Nuts, that no feel
ing of hunger is felt until the noon hour.
The facts show forth that the food is
sustaining and nourishes and feeds the
body hours after the power of ordinary
food is exhausted.
A few days trial of Grape-Nuts tells
the tale.
Found at grocers, and made by the
Postum Co., at Battle Creek. Mich.

formances, when they are good ones, con-
sisting of refined programmes presented
BY superior artists, has been demonstrated
time and again. There is no kind of en-
tertainment which appeals more strongly
to the public in general and particularly
is this true of those who seek amusement
during the summer months. The variety
companies that have been to Riverton
during the past and former weeks have
met with most cordial receptions and
have received, as they have merited, the
approval Of the public. Another list of
star attractions is announced for
this week, it being one of Mr.. Cor.
mans most desirable companies, made
up of h1gh.salarisd people who play in the
finest variety houses in the country
during the regular season, and who take
in Mr.. Germans circuit as half holiday
during the summer. The company is
known as Germans Comedians. 1.-THE pub
lie of Portland has noticed that any at
traction that bears Mr.. Germans name
as part of its own is superior one.
Mr.. German takes a pride in his own
companies. and this one is promised to
excel in many particulars. The pro-
gramme presents many notable features
including Irish comedy acts by two of the
best comedians on the road, musical turns
and dances by the Lynn sisters, original
instrumental monologue by Frank Clay
ton, and the La Noles in great display
of nerve and kill on the trapeze and fly
ing ladders.
The Fadettes, the woman's orchestra
par excellence, is to continue the fascinat-
ing orchestral concert that have given SO
much genuine pleasure during the season.

his mother and allowed to grow into man.
hood amid scenes, and in countryiwhere
lawlessness abounded Australia. And
so what otherwise would have been a fine
specimen of manhood, becomes one of the
notorious bushrangers OF Australia, a
modern Claude Duval. carrying his heart
upon his sleeve and living by his wits,
until the country becomes too dangerous
for him, and he finally drifts back to
England; and we find at the opening OF
the play the notorious bushranger, "Capt
Swift" masquerading as Mr.. Wilding, a
rich "Queenslander. His dash and
brilliancy win all about him. Chance
throws him in the house of a gentleman
who years be ore has married his mother.
Sha recognizes her son. and there is a
great scene when she disclohes her identi-
ty to Wilding, who is now being hunted
by the police sent from Queensland. In
this same house is one Gardner, another
young man who has spent years in the
bush in Queensland. Gardner thinksihe
recognizes in Wildi1g the famous Capt
Swift, but is not tsure, and is loath to
denounce him without absolute proof.
This is furnished by an old family SER

himself to be, takes his own life in order

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
M'CULLUM,s THEATRE.

Commencing this evening and con-
tinuing every evening during the week
with daily matinees, commencing Tues
day, Manager McCullum and his splendid
company will be seen in tie successful
naval drama entitled ''The Ensign"
The story of the play is based
on the search of the "Trent, an
English mail steamer. by the o. s.
Frigate San Jacinto, and the capture OF
the Confederate ambassadors Mason and
Slldell.
The first act shows the exterior of Cap
tain Wilkes's home near Havana. Inc
San Jacinto is ready to sail in pursuit
of the Trent on which are Confederate
ambassadors bound for England. Lieu
tenants Allen and Blythe of the English
war vessel plan to prevent the sailing of
the San Jacinto by provoking quarrel
with Ensign Ben Baird by slandering his
sweetheart, thus offering an excuse for
the Cuban police to arrest the ensign and
detain the San Jacinto until after the
Trent has got away. The scheme Is over
heard by Midshipman Arthur Watson,
who warns the ensign against the trap
and bids him not lose his temper. The
ensign loves Captain Wilkes's niece. and
the curtain falls on their betrothal at the
end Of the first act. Act second presents
an interior scene of Captain Wilkes's
home, and is the evening of the sailing OF
the San Jacinto. The ensign is about to
leave for his ship, when Lieutenant
Blythe attempts to carry out his plot. Ben
tells him it is useless to try to provoke
him, as he knows his designs and starts
to leave. At this Blythe tears down the
American flag from the wall and tramp
ling on it, defes the ensign to defend 1t.
A quarrel ensues, and Blythe Is thrown
from balcony, and is supposed to be
killed. The third act represents scene
on the gun deck of man of war, and
introduces Admiral Farragut and num-
Der of his officers conducting the court
martial of the ensign. England has de-
manded reparation for the life of it's lieu
tenant, and thus Ben is on trial for his
life. The scene is most impressive and
dramatic. The ensign Is found guilty by
his own confession. The fourth act oc-
ours in the cabinet room of the White
House at Washington, and introduces
the President, Abraham Lincoln, Sec
rotary of War Welles, and other promi-
nent officials The ensign's friends and
mother and sweetheart come to try and
secure pardon or reprieve to prevent his
execution, that is to occur that day. The
efforts of all are useless until little girl
offers the President to exchange her doll
which che loves very much for the en-
signs life. This SO touches the President
that a reprieve is granted. The last act
represents Ethe upper deck of the San
Jacintc. Preparations have all been
made to hang the ensign from the yard
arm, when the reprieve arrives, and all
ends happily. Reserved seats are on sale
at Steinerts..& Sons music store and can
be obtained for any performance.
