Our Sailors on Deer Isle.

The builders laid CoIuuibia's keel with Jealous
hope and pride.
And careful hands toiled patiently to mold her
graceful side,
And every curve and every swell and every sweep

Bespeaks the yachtsmans earnest art and triumph
of design,
And they who wrought the masts of steel and
they who sewed the sails
That stretch aloft-white. pleading hands, to
clutch the favoring gales
They all have given hearts and hands with pa
triotic zeal.
And there she sways the nations pride. from
pennant down to keel.
And unto all who gave her strength and sym-
metry and speed
We pay the tribute from the Joy that watched
her keep the lead,
And yet, despite the builders skill, we know that
art were vain
Without the nmble heels and hands Of those
Drowned sons of Maine,
And while we bask triumphantly in Uncle Sam
uels smile
We know who really won the race-the sailors Of
Deer isle.
Sir Thomas has gallant crew. a canny crew
has he,
AS bold and brisk a set of lads as ever went to
sea,
But this queer old coast of Maine the sailor.

Fulsn the motto of the state and make their
For he whose craft has sluggish heels is tardy
with the trawl.
And woe to him who cometh late to market with

So every day the race is on from York to Quoddy

And every day to catfish squalls the little sails

For. swirling past this jagged coast, the winds

With here a sigh and there shrek and here

And he who watches all her moods, anticipates

1t was Always Raining.

In his book Figures of the Past
Josiah Quincy tells of a journey that
he made in stagecoach days-away
back in 1S62-from Boston to Washing
ton, with Justice Story of the federal
supreme court: The justice was telling
of the routine of the courts Washing
ton social life. I'VE dine" he said,
"once a year with the president and
that is all. On other days we take our
dinner together and discuss at table
the questions which are argued before
us. We are great ascetics and even
deny ourselves wine, except in wet
weather"
Here the Judge paused, as if think
ing the act of modification he had
mentioned placed too severe a tax
upon human credulity, and presently
added: What l say about the wine,
sir, gives you our rule, but it does
sometimes happen that the chief JUS

AMUSEME NTS.

The ciuematoscopic entertainment
presented at Harper's theatre this
afternoon and to be repeated tonight,
is one of the most unique ever seen
here. Says the Alliance (Ohio) Daily
Leader of Sept. II of it: The cine
matoscope pictures of the Fitzsim-
mons-Jefries fight, and other ami
mated pictures, at Craven's opera
house last night, were very realistic,
and elected frequent applause. The
figures were life size and one could
get very good idea ofthe big scrap"
Miss Edna Reming, the clever little
ingenue who appears at Harper S
theatre tomorrow night as the laugh
ing girl in Midnight in Chinatown, :"
will also present her various dances,
including the genuine down south
"buck and wing" dance, which she
executed with so much success at
Roster IL Balls. New York, last sum-
mer during an S-weeks' continuous
engagement. Miss Edna is but 10
wears of age, but has been a promi-
nent dancer for seven years and is
noted for her beauty and cleverness.
The lively farce BRO wn's in Town"
comes to the Burtis Sunday, matinee
and night, where the audience will
surely laugh over the string of COM
plications which are said to furnish
endless fun through the three acts.
The author has done some clever work
as farceur in this play. both in in
genious arrangement and abundance
of farcical incidents, with catchy
songs, bright music and also in the
crisp and buoyant humor of the dia-
logue. The story tells chiefly of the
troubles which surround a newly
welded young couple who wish to
keep their marriage a secret until
they can devise some good reason for
breaking the news to the groom's
father, who strenuously objects to his
sons marrying until he reaches GER
tain age. Numerous friends and rela
tives disturb the early connubial hap
piness of the young couple, who hide
in nearby country place and assume
the name of Brown, and the plans and
subterfuges necessary to get rid of
them are cleverly worked out. The
farce is played throughout with invig-
Grating briskness.
The Great Northwest, which will
be seen at Harper's theatre Monday
evening, is novelty among melo-
dramas, in that it contains, in addi-
ton to many thrilling situations and
strong dramatic climaxes, enough
fun to stock the average
farce comedy. Much of this is fur
nished by the rival fire chiefs, who
are also rivals for the hand of Nub-
bins. 4 wild prairie wild flower. The
many comical complications which
follow their efforts each to Guido the
other in attentions to the object
Of their alteration furnish a vehicle
for humor that, while broad, is en-
tirelv clean and wholesome. Another
comedy character is Nubbins' father,
Hen" Daggs, a chronic mover, who,

strikes the new town of Boom City,

The people of Rock Island and Mo-

Glee Singers are a company of vocal

are especially adapted to reproduce
the old melodies as they were rendered
by the ancient men singers of the OBJ
scure corners of England and Wales.
A number of prominent college pro-
fessors connected with Cam bridge and
Oxford universities conceived the idea

of the self-improvised ballads would
make valuable addition to the folk
lore of the primitivei inhabitants of
England, as well as an interesting mu-

The Lam bardi Italian Grand Opera
company will pay a visit to Harper's
theatre next Wednesday and will be
heard in Verdi's superbly grand
operate masterpiece in four acts,
.'Rigoletto. This is the most popu-
lar opera in modern repertoire, liber
ally enriched with beautiful melodies,
and highly dramatic throughout.
Verdi lavished upon it his musical
skill with marvellous effect. Many
persons have heard extracts from
''Rigoletti, but few; however, have
ever heard outside of the largest
cities this grand opera rendered by a
company adequate to do it justice.
With the coming of the Lambardi
company this will be changed, and
the music loving public of Rock ISL
and will be enabled to enjoy this rare
old composition produced as it is
written, and sung by artists born in
the land where lived the great COM
poser himself. They sing it con
amore. and with fervor of conviuc-
ing intensity such as this work has
not received for several decades. The
Lambardi company has just closed
triumphant engagement at the Coates
opera house in Kansas City, and are
now on their way east and south.
Manager Miller says he considers
himself fortunate in having succeeded
in booking this remarkable company
of foreigners, even for one night, and
he trusts the public will show its
appreciation of his efforts in bringing
high classed attraction here by a
liberal attendance. The company is
an unusually large one, consisting of
over sixty people, of whom Is are
stars of the first magnitude. They
also carry a large and efficient orches-
ira.
