THE MILES STOCK COMPANY.

None of the popular priced attractions
visiting this city last season gave greater
satisfaction than the Miles Ideal Stock
company, and the announcement that
this favorite company will commence
weeks engagement at the Portland
Theatre is attracting. unusual attention.
The following complimentary notice is
copied from an exchange: Everyone in
Bangor will remember with pleasure the
short stay of the Miles Stock company
ingour city. Good houses greeted them on
the nights they were here, and all unani-
mously voted them the best company that
ever played in town. They have enjoyed
this reputation ever since their last ap-
pearance here year ago, and it is plainly
evident that they have lost none of their
old time popularity. On Monday eve
ming they put on that thrilling naval
drama, An American Hero, and although
somewhat handicapped by the appoint
ments of the stage, yet they put on
strong play arousing the audience to
the highest pitch. Mr.. John E. Miles in
his leading parts, was star, and won
the highest opinions from the audience. !"
Reserved seats go on sale this morning
for the entire engagement.

TIVAL,

On Tuesday afternoon meeting of
those interested in the Maine music festi-
val was held at the board of trade rooms.
While not many of the business men, to
whom the call was issued, were present,
there seems to be no doubt of their favor
able opinion of an organization. Those
who were present expressed renewed en-
thusiasm for the festival, and action was
taken which will undoubtedly result in
bringing the business men into closer re.
lations with the proposed organization.
Mr.. j. E. Crowley was. chairman and
Mr.. A. B Taylor secretary. Remarks
were made by Mr.. Taylor, M. Fl. An
drews, Chairman Crowley, Mrs. Chamber
lain, Rev. c. III. Cutter and President
Pearl of the board of trade.
Rev. G. H. Cutler thought it to be too
great burden for the chorus to sell
tickets. He believed that the cooperation
of the men of means was needed and
believed that it could be obtained.
President Pearl suggested that com
mittee be appointed to interest the bust
ness men and talk over the festival with
them, the committee to call upon them
and get their promise to attend the meet
ings.
Upon motion of Mrs Chamberlain the
following committee was appointed to CO.

that he "fred her OUT because she was
no good, got drunk and wouldn't take
care of the baby.
Mr.. Kehoe endeavored to show that any
admissions the respondent might have
made after his arrest could not be used

Mr.. Kehoe Ebeing told to proceed with
the defence, he called Officer Fell, and
drew from him testimony rebutting the
