before taking any action thought Il
advisable to consult my friend, and to

Imagine my disappointment when
reaching his hotel to find that Belin was
out! WALTON begged me 90 wait, cx-
planning that his master had been alb

were lights at nearly oil the windows,
though the street itself was In dark

1t is matter Of general interest and of
congratulation on all sides that on such a
beautiful and historic spot as the Cape
Cottage grounds there should have been
erected building so imposing in ap-
pearance as that of the Casino, and
which in its purposes and objects cannot
fall to meet the long needed wants of the
people of Portland and the city's increas-
ing guests during the summer period
1t Is not surprising then that the open
ing of the Casino which was looked for
ward to with eager expectation, was the
occasion of function yesterday which
called out SO many of our prominent
citizens who upon invitation of the Port

gathered in Monument Square and
boarded four or more electric cars which
were to transport them to the Cape

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE GEM.

Aristooracy drew two good houses yes
terday. The piece seems to have caught
the people. The audiences are very enthu-
siastio over the play and there are cur
tain calls and double encores at the end
of every act. Mr.. Eberle, the stage man.
ager of the Gem, is veteran in the pro
fession. He has spent the best part of 40
years behind the footlights, having
worked up from call boy to his present
position of stage manager. Every play
put on at the Gem has his personal
supervision. Nowhere outside of the best
New York theatres Will you. see. better
stage settings as there are in Aristooracy
at the Gem. When the curtain goes up
the audiences are carried away by the
beautiful stage pictures that are presented
to them.
Aristooracy Is great play; it is no
wonder that 1t had great run at the
New York theatres. Of course every lady
will be anxious to see the Elegant dress

dress in each act The first is a lovely
house dress of pink muslin with black
velvet trimming. TheTsecond dress is a
magnificent bail dress of corn. colored
sir, trimmed with buttercups and black
birds. The third dress is black satin Gov

THE NEW GOVERNMENT LOAN.

All the National banks of Portland are
receiving subscriptions for the new three
per cent bonds just authorized by the
government. Some of the brokers are also
receiving subscriptions. P eminent
bankers say that it is probable that in
this city three or four hundred thousand
dollars worth of bonds will be taken up,
ana perhaps five hundred thousand dol
laFs' At present the subscriptions come
IN ra1ner slowly, from the fact that they
ihusS pe Tor small amounts. In order to
in@Ne sure that the subscriptions will be
accepeeo IL Is necessary that they be for a
sum hoC over $500. Here in Portland it
Is prooaOle that large amount would be
subscribed 1or at once, if the smaller sub
sorlptlons did not have the preference over
the larger ones.
