ADJUSTMENTS.
The Man from Mexico"

Walter l.. Perkins, a Biddeford boy,
who has made name as one of the
best comedians on the stage, made
himself solid with Augusta, last even
ing. In the Man from Mexico" he is
making as great a hit as he did in the
long run of My Friend from India" by
the same author. The Opera house was
well filled. last evening, and that all
were pleased is to express it very
mildly. 1t was an evening of smiles,
ripples and roars Of laughter. as one
ludicrOus situation crowded another on
the stage And the farce was as clean
as it was mirth- provoking, being of
much the same order as My Friend
from India, seen here earlier in the sea-
son. The ridiculous situations in which
Benjamin Fitzhew found himself. both
at home and in prison, as the result of
nights eScapade made the simple
plot of the piece. There was no ser
mon preached and scarcely serious
moment in the play but for whole
some fun it has not been surpassed
since the Opera house opened. Mr..
Perkins is a whole comedy in himself
His face is his fortune, and when he
speaks you simply have to laugh. His

A SIiaht Change in the Mail Service.

owing to the strict provisions OF the
eight hour Law, the carrier on route
No. | has been unable to make L COM
pIete delivery of his letter mail on
Saturday of each week and he within
the As hours allowed for the week S
work. Numerous complaints being re-
ceived at the post office of delays in
Saturday letters in certain parts of
this route led to an investigation which
showed that the delivery to two or
three houses below the Glenwood
Springs was taking from three to four
hours time each week. or nearly one
twelfth of the whole time allowed the
carrier.
AS 80 letters were delayed on this ac-
count last Saturday. which should have
been delivered that afternoon, orders
were given to cut off all of route No.
/ living below Glenwood Springs until
the present extreme press Of business
will allow the carrier this necessary
time. This change really makes very
little difference, as most of the patrons
living in that section get their mail
on Water street and as will be seen
ii is a very great saving Of time and
gives the greatest good TO the greatest
number After the extra work caused
by the legislative session is over. It is
probable that the territory will again
be covered
