For the eight concerts that the dis
tinguished Maine prima donna has al

completely sold out and hundreds
turned away on the nights Of the per-
formances. Nine. Eames is now In

way east again. She has sung In sew
eral of the principal cities of the
Pacific coast and her Western au-
diences fairly went wild with en-
thusiasm. In San Francisco, Port

dividdal who whisperingly acquainted
the liyeried Turnkey with the titles or
the lady and gentleman he was show

American manhood as could be found
between the rising and setting OF the

lieve a man of so imposing appearance
justly entitled to the high degree OF
duke. And it gives It delightful flavor
to the story to know that the bluff sea
captain graciously accepted the honors
bestowed upon him in utter uhcon-
seriousness of the joke pcrpetrated by
his nautical companion.

ready been made for the property by
different parties, and it seems reason
able to suppose that such property.
