Thomas E. Shea In Portland.

Thomas f. Shea and his excellent com
pany will be seen at The jefferson next
week beginning Tuesday, Oct eth, and a
dramatic treat is in store for all lovers of
good acting. There was time when peo-
pie of refined tastes and lovers of the art
felt that good acting at popular prices was
impossible to obtain. Thomas Shea, however
has dispelled that delusion and in all cities
whether large or small he has forced him
self to the serious attention of the leading
critics. This has been accomplished by
hard work and studous effort. Mr. Shea
is not only a student and artist but an ex-
ceeding clever business man and realized
that in order to call attention to himself,
plays and company. moderate price had
to be asked. This line of procedure was,
indeed, very successful as Mr.. Shea has
made a fortune for himself and at the same
time by application to study has not lower
ed his artistic ideals-Portland Advertiser
The annual visit of Mr.. Thomas Shea to
our city is always a pleasure to those in
terested in good, clean acting. His plays
are of the highest order, his company strong
and his stage settings elaborate His sue
cess is owing to the fact that not only is he
a conscientious actor, but he personally pol
ishes up every play and attends to every
little detail. This is the key to his success,
financially and artistically .-portand Even

Arrested for Robbery and Assault.

On Thursday night at Exeter Corner
Clarence Winchester was knocked down
and robbed of watch and $500 by Beecher
Kendall, an eX-cOnvict, who was released
from Sing Sing prison, where he had just
completed eight years, about two months
ago. 1t appears that Kendall accosted Win
chester, who belongs in Brewer, and asked
him to go down the hill with him and get
drink. Winchester was willing and went.
He got the drink and then bou ght one him
self. After the second drink had been dis
posed of Kendall suggested that Winches-
ter buy another The Brewer man objected,
and after some talk Kendall knocked him
down and robbed him of the money Ken
dali left at once, going to East Corinth, and
from there to Bangor, and thence to Belfast
via Hampden.
The Belfast police were notified Saturday
night that Kendall was wanted in PenobscOt
county for robbery and aggravated assault.
Officers Frisbee and Staples went to Ken
dalPs mothers house where they found him
| in bed asleep, and they awoke and arrested
him. He had large loaded revolver under
his pillow, but was in the hands of the
| officers before he realized that they were
coming. He was put in jail that night and
taken to Bangor Monday by Deputy Sheriff
| A. B. Ireland.

Annenled to the Po,rers.

The late Joseph Medill, editor Of the
Chicago Tribune, besides being an in
defatigable editor, had a decided vein
of humor in his composition.
During the last years of his life, as
his strength permitted, he watched
over his paper as zealousiy as in his
younger days, and it was his custom to
scan the columns Of certain favorite
exchanges and clip from them ex-
tensively. marking them on the mar
gins, -. M.-Must," meaning that the
extracts must go in. 1t was one Of his
great griefs that there was not always
room for all of them, even when col
umns of live editorial matter had been
crowded out rs they were sometimes,
to make room for them.
One night he went up to the room of
the night editor with a bundle Of clip
pings in his hand.
'Air. Ransom" he said TO that Off
cial with a twinkle in his eye Il wish
you would use your influence to have
these, printed in the paper tomorrow

cheerfully. its only n lapsus lingu@'

The joke was received with a burst
Of laughter. A gentleman present,
who had no knowledge of Latin, yet
saw what boisterous merriment it
caused, secretly determined that he
would repeat the whole performance
at his next little dinner party at home
and give his guests a great laugh at his
wit.
The occasion arrived. There was to
be a leg of mutton, and the host had
instructed the waiter to let it fall when
coming in. The waiter did so, to the
great dismay of the guests.

FIGURES AND EYES.

An Indication Of Advancing Ago

"As we grow older" remarked the
man who was doing that at the rate Of
a week every seven days. I'VE begin
to observe that we seem to need more
light when we read or that the print
Of the newspaper that we have been
reading with ease for ever so many
years is not quite as good as it used TO
Oe, or that we can distinguish the let
ters little better if we hold them far
ther away than usual. but we are very
slow indeed to observe that the real
cause of it is that we are growing old,
and we rather resent the suggestion Of
some kindly friend that we need
glasses.
I'VE resent glasses especially be-
cause they are the visible sign of our
weakness, and all the world may know
by them what we fondly think they
have not yet discovered-to wit, that
our eyesight is failing. l am that way

to break the white into a jar with

Discomforts of Mining Before the
Dnvy Lamp Was Lit.
The difficulties under which coal
mining operations were carried on be-
fore the scientist Davy had invented his
safety lamp must have been very great.
In many times the only alternative the
medieval miner had to pitch darkness
was the phosphorescont CLEAN from
dried fish. The miners implements,
originally Of stone or hard oak, gradu-
ally improved, but he was forced to
worl, in almost complete darkness until
Sir Humphry Davy by his remarkable
invention enabled him to light his way
through the tunnels ne had excayated
with comparative safety.
Agricola. an author who wrote about
the middle Of the sixteenth century,
has left an elaborate treatise on coal
mining as It was practiced during tho
middle ages. From this we learn that
the horse gin. which survives to the
present day ia some of the mining dis
tricts Of Great Britain and Northern
Europe, was the engine chiefly en-
ployed both for lifting the coal and for
getting rid of the water. This latter
object was also sometimes effected by
means OF pumps turned by wlndmills
or by tunnels driven with great labor
to an outlet at a lower level.
