With the action taken by the city
government, last week, relative to a
better protection of the public build
ings. many suggestions have been Of
fered with a view to clearing the
Opera House of people in case of fire.
One of the simplest as we'll as the
most effective, and at the same time
moderate in cost. that have been sug-
gested. is to cut through the west
wall of the building and put in two
large iron doors leading to the roof of
Prescott's stable. the doors to come
rear the foot of the stairs leading to
the balcony. From the roof of the
stable wide foot bridge could be built
directly across to the bank between
Winthrop and Court streets, and would
be high enough not to interfere with
the trains. 1t would seem that with
such an exit the house could be
cleared of an audience in very few
minutes.

According to this tale of life in north
ern Maine, he has been teaching the
sons and daughters of the people of

physical culture. He claims that the

should iinpart to them the elements of
strength. grace and culture and the

consequence when he left the mctrop-

to adopt the humble but honorable Oc-
cupatiOn of care taker in Il potato car.
where he had time to reflect on the
ups and downs of the life of a dancing
master. Riding among the tubers he
reached the principal city of Maine
and repaired to the Preble house hop
ing that he would receive Il remittance
from Houlton, and, at the same time,
studying the chances for an opening in
his profession as a teacher of the arts
necessary to success in the Giddy social
world. But Portland was too indiffer-
crt to culture or too absorbed in litcra-
ture and club movements to offer Il
field for Il new teacher of dancing and
deportment and .thcieupon Mr.. Ryan
was forced to leave and as the remit
lance from HOuton had not arrived he
reluctantly left the bill ut the Prcblc

that strict economy will be necessary to properly manage its finances

 ABUSED A CHlLD-Ignacia Carroll was brought before Justice Robertson yesterday on complaint of her neigh bors who charged that she had been abusing a sixteen year old orphan girl she has been raising, or pretending to raise. It was claimed that she had beaten the girl in a most unwarranted manner on various occasions and it was brought out that her raising" had been in a very crude way as sine had never attended school and could neither read nor write. The defend ant was found guilty and fined seven dollars, but there were circumstances that led to a suspension of the fine. These were that the mother has eight children of her own who are depend ing upon her for support and she had no money to pay the fine with. Her Incarceration would mean hardship on the entire younger generation of the household. As Ignacia promised to deport herself better in the future she was allowed to go with the fine hang ing over her to keep her in the straight and narrow path.
