The store of A. B. Hill u Co.. at No.
800 Congress street, was Illuminated last
evening by remarkable new light, which
attracted much attention. This light is
produced from aceiylene gas. which is
made by treating calcium carbide with
water. The result is a gas which burns
with steady. pure white light, so nearly
resembling sunlight that all shades OF
color are distinguishable. Mr.. Hill is
much pleased with this light which he
uses in illuminating his store each Mon

produced by the BarFows stock company
at the Gem Theatre last night, most sue
cessfully. 1t deserves to be ranked with
the other successes, which the company
has achieved, and judging by the applause
which greeted the many strong situ-
ations, the comedy drama was found to
be thoroughly enjoyable by the audience.
This audience nearly filled the theatre
and was most enthusiastic. Tho plot of
"Rosedale'' has been outlined in the
PRESS. In the main it relates to the
Kidnapping OF boy of aristooratio fami-
ly, Sir Arthur May, heir to the lands and

YOUNG WOMAN MISSING.

The friends of Miss Eliza jess, q young
woman Of twenty-five years. who is ems
ployed at the paper mills In this city and
boards on Main street. are becoming q
little excited in mind as to her present
whereabouts. 1t seems that a few weeks
ago,in company with another young lady
friend, Miss Fannie Matthews ofEthis city,
she went with an excursion party from
various parts of the state to Quebec.
Canada. While away they were the guests
Of an aunt Of Miss Jess who resides in
place named Petticoatik. The time limit
on the tickets was over Thursday OF last
week and the young ladies made ready to
return. Miss Matthews and Miss Jess 3
aunt went to the depot together as Miss
Jfss was not ready to, go when they
started. To reach the depot it is neces-
sary to go some distance across river in
stsamer. They reached the depot and
the aunt returned home. On arrival at
the steamer wharf she met Miss Jess who
was just starting out. The time for the
departure of the train came but Miss
Matthews saw nothing of her friend but
supposed that she must be somewhere
on the train. Before she had been long
on the way she discovered that Miss Jess
was not on board. On arriving In West.
brock Miss Matthews decided toy wait a
day before sending any message to try
and trace Miss Jess as she supposed that
she had one back TO the home OF her
aunt to stay few days longer. Sunday
came and Miss Jess did not show up at
Westbrook so teIearams were sent to the
relatives in Canada where they had been
stopping, but in the responses the folks
said that they had not seen Miss jess
since she left the boat. Her friends in
this city are at loss to know where she
could have gone bat think she mnss have
gone on visit to some other relatives not
known In this city.
