THERE'S A REASON WHY

People go to The North End Cloth
ing Cos. Store, at 72 Water street, tc
trade. In fact, there are many rea-
sons. One of them is that the goods
here are up to the latest styles. An
other is that the force of clerks is
selected for ability to give courteous
and careful treatment to all custom
ers. Still another feature is the easy
weekly payment plan adopted by this
store which customers enjoy when
merchandise is bought here.

Mark Dyer VS. William A. Collins.
Rescript per curiam.
The plaintiff recovered a small YER
dict for injuries alleged to have been
received and sufferings endured by
rea son of the defendants failure of
duty towards him on a fishing trip in
which the parties were engaged on the
second day of January last outside of
Portland harbor. The plaintiff claims
that the defendant negligently and
Wilfully deserted him on the fishing
grounds in the darkness of the night
and that by reason of such desertion
he was left alone in his dory and was
compelled to face a rough and choppy
sea without food or water for about
eight hours. before he reached the
United States Government lightship
off Cape Elizabeth shore.
The evidence is somewhat conflicting
and the defendants negligence is not
very clearly established. But after the
defendant had finished his task and
reached the power boat, there was only
one dory on the ground requiring at
tention. and the jury evidently failed
70 discover a satisfactory explanation
Of the defendants failure to find tie
plaintiff. since he had passed in haul
ing his trawl to leeward only a short
time before and ought to have known
where he could be found.
1t may also have seemed to the jury
and incredible, if the de-
PENDANTS power boat was only half a
mile distance from the plaintiff. that
the lights of the power boat should
not have been discovered by the plain
tiff
While the evidence would not justify
the conclusion that there was any will
full desertion of the plaintiff, the jury
evidently reached the conclusion that
the defendant did not exercise that
diligence and promptitude in searching
for him that due care required under
the circumstances of danger surround
ing him. 1t is accordingly the opinion
of the court that they would not be
justified in substituting their own
Judgment for that of the jury who saw
and heard the witnesses.
But the defendant took exceptions
to the refusal of the presiding justice
10 give the following instructions.
namely: "If the jury find that Dyer
had started for the lightship before
Capt Collins left the locality, then the
JURY must find that Capt. Collins ex-
ercised such care as prudent man
would have done under the circuul-
stances" The presiding justice declined
to give this instruction, but did in
struct the jury as follows; Il instruct
you that if YOU find from the evidence
that il Dyer left the fishing grounds
before Capt Collins did. that you may
consider that. I am not going 10 IN
struct you that it must be so, but you
may consider that in determining
whether or not Capt Collins had dis
charged his duty in the premises.
There is obviously no error in such
instruction or refusal to instruct
The negligence of the defendant in
the management of the power boat
after he came aboard may have been
such as TO justify the plaintiff in leav-
ing the locality before the defendant
did, but the time of the plaintiff
leaving was fact proper for the jury
to consider
Motion and exceptions overruled

Nance o'Neil, Tonight.

iNdhSS ~ t'S't '0''SbA'
The Portland Express of Nov. % has
the following to say regarding Nance
O'Neil's appearance in that city
NANCE O'NEIL IN "MAGDA"
Nance O'Neil needs no introduction
to Portland audience and she re-
eeived warm welcome last evening
when as Magda in the play of tina.
name she came upon the Jefferson
stage.
Nance 0'Nel wins her audience by
the sheer wonder of her art, for what
ever critics may say, no critic can
say anything but praise of her Won
derful voice, with it rich sympathetic
quality it's thrilling intensity and it's
wonderfully touching appeal. There
are few if any. women on the stage
today who can control and hold an
audience by the sheer force of person
atty and power of voice and Nance
O'Neil is one of the few; she has
grown, too, with the years and one
can notice a marked Improvement
since her first appearance in this City,
for there is more of finish, more re-
serve power, and more of the artistic,
while physically, this beautiful wo-
man was never so beautiful as now.
Nance O'NeiI has grown slighter
since her last appearance here. and
"divinely tall" she is "divinely fair,
and in her first appearance last even
ing in the exquisitely beautiful gown
of golden satin with trimmings of
golden beaded lace, and her long opera
coat falling about her, she was GER
tainly distinguished figure. and as
they said in the play very foreign
looking" -
In the scene where Magda. rich,
powerful, successful. meets again after
all the bitter years, the man who has
wronged her. the actress rose to great
emotional heights. and she held her
audience spellbound by the power OF
her acting. 1t seemed not acting a.
all, so real and so strong she seemed
so much the woman of elemental pas
sions but who had overcome by sheer
force of will and mother love.
DIR. Won Keller, played by Alfred
Hickman, was all the part required
and William II. Barwald did some very
| strong work as Col. Schwartz, ths
| father of Magda.
| The company as a whole is wei
balanced, but of course it is Magda
| who holds the play, who sweeps alons
the heavy current, VINO moves and L
moved by resistless fate, who makes
4 the play, and gives the audience thu
| glimpse of the woman's soul.

Langdon, sitting in his seat, pre-

contempt.
He had devoted five years of his
life to play writing, and every eff

the barest formality of a reply. So
he had abandoned that field to
reap a fair success as a story
writer. But the failure of his
earlier efforts had embittered him
against those whose struggles
had been rewarded.
Yet when Miriam Grey came
on and captivated the attention of
the audience, when the plain, sim
pie story gradually began to make
its way into the hearts of the au-
dience; when sobs punctuated the
silence Langdon- found himself
