NO SALARIES RAISED.
But the Committee Favors Extra Pay for
Extra Work by the Police.

The committee on salaries of the CITY
government which will make its report
tonight to the city council held
its last meeting Saturday night. No
change has been made in the salary list
as it stands today. In every case the
salaries were recommended to be just
as they now are. The call men of the
tire department. who asked the city coun-
Gil to raise their pay will not have their
pay raised If the report of the salary COM
mittee is accepted. The only change
which will be recommended is one which
will give to the policemen extra pay when
called upon for extra duty, such as
parades, court service, etc.
The members of Hose asked for raise
of pay but the committee will not re-
raise for them.

THE NAVAL RECRUITS.
A Number Left Behind on saturday
Night.

In all, up to 8 O'Clock Saturday after
noon, Lieut.. Hubbard had enlisted AZ
coal passers in this city. Some of the
men who We're enlisted as coal passers
will undoubtedly be assigned to other
duties as soon as they reach New York,
but this was the class which was found
available in Portland. 1t was understood
by the recruits that they were to be for
warded to New York by the John Englis
on 5 turday night and as this fact was
generally known a large crowd was as
sembled at the pier of the New York boat
when her sailing time approached.
Among the people who came down out
of curiosity to see the newly enlisted blue
Jackets start off were many of their
friends and relatives and there were
plenty of tears shed among the women
folks when the time began to draw near
for the last good-bys to be said. 1t must
be acknowledged that some Of the recruits
were SO elated by their success in get
ting into Uncle Sans service that they
had taken little too much of that spirit
which tends to e1hilirate and Some of
them were rather noisy. Many of hem
were allowed to go on board the John
Englis, but some were not allowed to
result was that when the steamer moved
away from the wharf fully one half of
the newly-enlisted recruits were left be
hind, and most disappointed and angry
crowd of men they were, too. The men
who were left behind included many who
had not been drinking, and they did not
understand the meaning of this change
Of tactics. A PRESS reporter tried to
find out Saturday night what would be
done with those men who We're left be-
hind by the John Englis, but he did not
meet with any great amount of success.
In answer to questions. Boatswain Smith,
who was the only one who could be
found who would be apt to know any
thing about the matter, said that he could
not tell what would be done with the re-
naming men as that was question
which Lieut.. Hubbard would have tn
answer. He thought that the recruits
which were left behind might be forward
ed to New York by some other way than
the New York boat, but how, he did not
know. The boatswafn did not hesitate to
say that the reason the men were not
taken was because some of them were..so
badly intoxicated that it was feared they
might make trouble on board the boat.
The men who failed to get away on
the John Englis Saturday night expected
to go by train to New York either last
night or this evening.

a bushal. Their names are Charles OLE

SOLD PATENT MEDICINE.
Mr.. Jones's Alleged Methods So Peculiar
That He is Now in Limbo.

Samuel G. Jones of Auburn was brought
to Portland on Saturday by Constable
Litchtield of Freeport. Jones SO it is al
legged has been selling patent medicine
in surrounding towns claiming that he
was introducing the remedy in the inter-
est of H. Fl. Hay the well known drug
gist of Portland. He has been wanted for
some time but the authorities have had
hard work to find him. Jones is said to
have told people to whom he sold the rem
edy that If 1t didn't cure their particular
ailment they could get their money back
by going to II. Ell. Hay of Portland. The
result has been a constant stream of peo-
pie from the surrounding country who
have been applying at III. Fl. Hays in
order to get back the money they paid
Jones.
A short time ago H. FL. Hay & Son sent
out postal card to the authorities of all
the surrounding towns offering reward
for the arrest of Jones and giving very
good description of the man.
Saturday forenoon Constable Litchfield
Of Freeport saw Jones enter the post Office
at that place and Immediately recognized
him as the man who was wanted. Jones
was put under arrest and did not offer to
make any resistance. The constable got
a carriage and started for Portland with
his prisoner Suddenly Jones jumped out
of the carriage and made break for
liberty. He was run down and again
captured and brought to Portland. He
will undoubtedly be arraigned Monday
in the Municipal court.

THE RESERVE.

The Monteuk will probably not reach
Portland for few weeks yet and when
she does come she will be in charge of q
naval officer and manned by one hundred
men from the New Jersey naval militia
who have volunteered for the service
People may laugh as much as they please
about the possibility of the old Montauk
being of any practical use in case of an
attack on Portland but even with her old
smooth bores and slow rate of speed she
might he able to save this city from the
hostile call of some Spanish auxiliary
cruiser or even help in the defense of
some unprotected town further down the
coast of Maine. The next few days will
he lively ones in this city as they will
in fact over the entire country but one
thing can be relied upon, the young men
who are anxious to serve in the naval re-
serves in the city of Portland will be
saving wood all the time.
Thus writes George II. r. Preble, a
descendant of the illustrious Commodore
Preble OF this city who did SO much to
make the city of his home renowned both
abroad and at home and whose record in
the United States navy is a matter of
pride to every Portiander:

MUSIC AND DRAMR-
SECRET SERVICE.

The two performances of Secret Ser
vice. at The jefferson Saturday drew
a large and enthusiastic, but not croWoen
audiences. From dramatic standpoint,
as regards both play and actors, Portland
hasn't seen anything better during the
season. We cannot let the play go with
out referring to two admirable bits OF
character acting. One WAS the scene
where the coIored servant Jones-Mr. II.
D. James-draws the bullets from the
muskets in the last act, and when dis
covered by Edith begs her not to betray
him. The other, the personat!on of
Martha, the colored house servant by Miss
Leigh. A marked feature of the play
was the faithful reproduction of South
ern manners and dialect
THE HEART OF CHICAGO.
1t would be hard to get more scenery in
a single production than is employed in
staging "The Heart of Chicago" Lincoln
J. Carriers new scenic play. The Phila-
delphia Ledger of Nov. 10th said:
Enough scenery is used in its production
to amply stock half a dozen Inelodramas.
Among the scenes promised are the Chic
ago fire scenes, showing u section of
Chicago before during and after the fire;
Masonic Temple roof garden; the big
panoramic view of the South side at
night; the Worlds Fair court Of honor
during q night illumination; the Co.
lumbus fountain; the typical Chicago
street scene. and the famous approaching
train scene. The play will be seen at
Portland theatre Wednesday night. Tick
cts now on sale.
THE PRISONER OF ZENDA.
A theatrical event of much Importance
will be the coming in about two weeks of
Daniel Frohman's special prisoner of
Zenda company. MIR. Frohmen writes us
from his New York headq uarters that he
has taken great pains in the selection OF
the actors comprising this company and
that the performance will in every way
he equal to the demands of Anthony
Hopes splendid story of '"The Prisoner
of Zenda,'' which they present with all
the scenery, costumes and accessories nee
eseary for first class production. We
p .hlish this announcement because the
.New York Lyceum manager has always
kept his promises. This is regarded as the
Greatest of all the famous Lyceum thea
tre successes.
AN APPROPRIATE LENTEN AT
TRACTION
A decided novelty will be presented at
The Jeffrson tonight in the form of the
Cinematograph representation of the fa
NOUS Passion Play. with a descriptive
lecture by Rev. N. B. Thompson, and IN
cidental music. Thirty-four scenes in
the life and passion of Christ are shown,
and they are said to be SO realistic in
their effect that they would move the
hardest heart to tears. The matinee at
g. 80 is special feature 10 give the school
children an opportunity to witness these
wonderful life-llke pictures.
