WORK OF SNEAK THIEF.

Portland has some burglars or sneak
thieves of her own and II would be well
for people to be careful about leaving
their 4 oors unlocked even in the day
time. Yesterday Michael Conley who
lives at "a Randall street had $40 stolen
from his house while his wife was at
work in the kitchen. This money was in
a box in one of the sleeping rooms up
stairs. The front door was open and the
thief quietly stole up stairs between one
and two O'Clock, secured the roll OF bills
and departed. Tbs loss was not dis
covered until Mrs. Conley went up stairs
to get some money to pay bill.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
OPENING OF M'CULLUM'S THEA
TIRE

The sale of reserved seats for the open
ing of McCullum's theatre that Is to &C.
cur Saturday afternoon and evening,
June 9, will go ON sale at Sawyer's con
fectionery store, Monument square, this
morning at nine O'Clock and judging by
the inquiries the past few days for
tickets the usual large demand for tickets
Is anticipated. The opening of the Nc
Cullum season has been one OF the
theatrical events of each year .sduring
fourteen seasons and more than usual
interest Is aroused this. season owing to
the unusually large and efficient compa-
ny engaged, the most Of whom are new to
Portland audiences. The opening play
will be the picturesque comedy drama,
"Fanchon the Cricket" All the COM
pany will have excellent roles and the
costuming and scenic establishment
will be of particular beauty and quite
lavish in extent. "Fanchon" will be the
attraction every afternoon and evening
except Monday afternoon during the week
of June IL, and will be followed by a pro-
duction of Nat Goodwin's famous success
"A Gilded Fool" Seats can be engaged
in advance for any performance durin g
the entire season.
THE GEM THEATRE.
These hot days remind us that sum mer
has arrived in good earnest. The proper
thing to do to escape the heat ana dust OF
the city Is to take a sail on one of the
Casco Bay steamers and enjoy an ideal
performance at the Gem Theatre. To do
so is great relief after "a busy day In the
office, store or work shop. just bear in
mind the opening sale of reserved seats
begins Monday morning at O'Clock.
Numbers will be given out at Z. Don't
fail to be on band.

and 20 he appointed me ON hts staff ana
made me Colonel Harry weissinger. In
the Confederase army I was simply .
private. The first thing that I did after
the war was over was TO TALL In love with
Union lady. She loved the Union and
hated the Confederacy. She declared that
she would never wed q Confederate, and
that especially she would never marry one
Of Morgan's horse thieves. She did both.
(Iaughter.)
"In reverence to the flag and affection
to the country 1 yield 10 no man. The
cause of the war was the difference In
sentiment between the two sections. This
reminds me Of the great men born down
in Kentucky, the great disciple Of free
dom, Abraham Lincoln (applause) who
maintained that the Union could not be
preserved by ne-half being slave and the
other half free. He was wiser than the
trainers Of the constitution. He recog-
nized liberty and slavery were not factors
of freedom. These differences OF senti-
ment made perfect union impossible.
War was the result Of these conditions.
You can search In vain and You can't
| find any reasons why there shouldn't be q
perfect union from this time forward. We
| were taught to believe that the people OF
the South were superior to the people OF
the North. l suppose that II 1t hadn t
been for the war 1 should feel so now.
| But that notion got out Of my head very
quickly after the war had commenced. so
lar from one Southerner being able TO
whip two Yankees 1 found that one Yam
kee was able to whip tn rec Southerners.
Col. Weissinger read the following tele-
gram which he had received from Louis
Vile. II had not reached Belfast In time
| to be- read while Col. Weissinger was de-
| livering the Memorial Day address In
that city Wednesday. The telegram is
as follows:
Your old comrades, Confederate vete-
rams, are today regretting your absence
during one OF our great reunions, but
console themselves with the thought
that you are conveying fraternal greeting
to our fellow citizens Of the North In
which we he artily join.
JOHN II. LEATHE RS,
President Confederate Association.
"That telegram came unsolicited and
the best part of 1t that 1t was sent to me
| In care of the Grand Army post at Bel
fast ~ Cheers.) Col. Weissinger was again
MISUNDERSTANDING at the conclu-
cheers which were proposed by Comman-
der Mattocks were given with a will:
Col. weissinger then read letter
which he had received during his stay
| in this tate. 1t was from "a southern
man congratulating him on his stand
in meeting the people of the North.
Mayor Robinson spoke briefly and the
other speakers Of the evening, all OF
whom were listened to with the closest
of attention were heartily applauded for
their eloquent words and witty remarks,

A GREEK SHOWER BATH IiSE
IT Is MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS OLD.

A curious and unique object. one which is not
the least of the treasures of the great Museum
of the Louvre at Paris, has lately been added
TO the ceramic collections of that vast store
house Of art 1t is a vase whose shape, color
and style of ornamentatiOn-caIled black fig
ured''-enable an expert fix upon Greece as
the place. and the sixth century before Christ
as the date of its manufacture. The shape of
its body is ovoid and it has a curved handle
like that of basket but very thick in proper
ton, for reasons which will presently appear
1t is decorated by two zones Of figures between
conventional ornament at top and bottom The
upper belt pictures Hercules Staying the Nem1 an
lion between two draped standing figures: the
lower zone represents two griffns between two
rampant lions. Rosettes are placed here and
there plain surfaces.
The vase and its handle are hollow through
out, as shown in the sectional drawing and
their only openings made respectively
at the bottom of the former. which is pierced by
small holes like those of the nose of a watering
pot and at the upper outside edge of the han
die, where opening has been made but one
so small as to be easily closed by the ball of
the thumb The height of this vase is about
nine inches, and its cubic capacity about two
quarts of liquid.
NJ. POTTER the archeologist and authority on
Greek pottery, in describing and commenting
on this peculiar vessel, thinks that it must have
been filled at the upper opening by means of a
small funnel hut cannot decide whether il was
used for toilet purposes a watering pot
II the utensi was filled through the opening
in its handle it would have been necessary
simultaneously, to close the holes in the bottom
for otherwise any liquid would have run out as
fast as poured in. 1t could be more quickly
and was most probably. done by plungng the
vase into larger one containing the liquid 10
be used; the air inside would then have es-
capped through the hole in the handle the liquid
would have taken its place and the manipulation
having closed the opening in the handle couId
then have carried the vessel and it's contents

ever ne pleased by merely removing his thumb
