BELFAsr,s POPULAR COURSE.

A Series Of High Grade entertainments
Under the Ansrices of the Belfast I'M
provement Society.
| As stated last week the above society has
arranged with the White Entertainments Bu-
reau to bring to our city during the coming
winter course of entertainments consist
| ing Of some of the best attractions before
the public to-day All the cities and larger
town, and many of the smaller villages OF
the State, have given these entertainments
with such success that this season many OF
| them have arranged for larger ana more
expensive courses than any proceeding
year. The absence of first-class attractions
during the winter season has been SO often
| deplored by our people that the ladies OF
the Improvement Society, true TO thelr mis-
sion of working for the welfare OF the city
have assumed this undertaking with all its
hard work and Giscouragements, believing
that they will be supported and that next
year we may be able to follow IN the foot
steps of other cities and engage some that
we must forego this season.
The series will consist of four splendid
attractions as follows: May Parker's Pick
aninnies and Concert Co., Tuesday, Oct.
9Th; the Metropolitan Grand Concert Com
pany, Dec. 10th Marc, the great magician,
who is said to be equal to Herman, with
his company Feb. 26th. The closing enter
tainment will be the Boston Ladies' Sym
phony Orchestra, the most famous female
orchestra in the world. This company has
been engaged For three or four years in the
same towns and cities.
The price of the course tickets is $1.50,
which is much lower than in other cities.
This will entitle the holder to the same re-
served seat for the whole series and the
privilege of having the seat checked day
in advance of the first regular sale. The
single admission will be 35 and 80 cents, ex-
cept to the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
when it will be so and Is cents.
Each member of the improvement Society
will be furnished with two tickets for dis
posal and the city will be canvassed by a
committee.
The Society has secured the following
gentlemen as guarantors; W. II. Quimby,
Geo. A. Quimby, Frank L. Field, r. F.

Dear Sir: You can put 800 in your
pocket if you can put us in the wrong.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is all paint. 1t takes
fewer gallons to paint house than with
mixed paints. 1t wears longer than lead
and oil-mixed paints, too. The State chem
lists of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania
have analysed it and say it is pure.
If you can prove that any of these things
aren't so, we've a hundred dollars waiting
for you.
If these things are true, what paint will
you use next time you paint your house !?
What will you say to the people that ask
YOU ?-for doctors get asked queer questions.
If you know of an honest young painter
who isn't getting the grip, on life that he
ought to have, give him this hint; Devoe

REYOLUTIONIST IS
 NOT A FRENCHMAN
MAN ARRESTED AT WASHING TON APPEALS TO FRENCH GOV EMINENT FOR REDREss-ls ORDERED VANISHED.

Washington, July 15.--Advices have reached officials here from Caracas re- garding the arrest. and imprisonment there of man named Devialergo who after he was ordered to leave the coun- try. claimed he was a Frenchman and appealed to the French government for redress.
 The alleged Frenchman, it appears from these advices, was in reality a Yenezue- Ian of French extraction. He was caught it is claimed, with papers on his person showing he was in eollusion with the revolutionists and was thrown into pris- oni On his release he put in q claim for $5e0O damages on the ground that he was Frenchman President Castro replied that if he was a foreigner, Venezuela did not need him, and orders were issued banishing him from the country. Vene- zuelan authorities say they will not pay his claim, and that he had best stay away from the country.
 Mail advices from Caracas state that the various commissions on the settle ment of the powers claims against Ven- ezuela are still sitting and the claims, it is added, "are growing like corn"
