FIVE QUARTERS OF BEEFlonis Robeash Is Accused of Reing tin Hold Smuggler wlio Would Havt Brought the Flesh Into Chester Rifles Guard the Beef while Mr Bradley Attends to tile Smuggler. A young man, accused of being smuggler, was brought before United ptates Commissioner Bradley, Friday afternoon. He was arrested on authori a warrant recitiDg. that Louis Robeash, of St. Come, Quebec, on complaint of Fred W.

Hartnett, special inspector of customs, was charged with smuggling into the United States ol America by way of Moose river, five quarters of beef. Robeash brought his b3ef in- a rung by a wood road to a barn on this side of Jthe Mr. the beef. Robeash claimed Friday, at the hearing that ha intended to sell the beef and let the purchaser pay the duty. Commissioner Bradley put him under $100 to appear at the February term oi the United States Court.

Robeash gave the bonds, Hon.Omar Clark of Carratunk going hie bonds. John Scott, of Bath appeared for Robeash, and District Attorney Bradbury for the government. Quite a question arose as to the disposal of the beef. The border land at Moose river is a rough place, and at present men with Winchester rifles are guarding the five quarters oE beef to keep them out of the hands of the desperate characters who are always lurkiDg around collateral of all kinds in the Moose river region. It expensive to guard the beef in this way, hut the special inspector could find no one last evening who could suggest a legal way for disposing of the beef.

Omar Clark of Carratunk Will Cut Monarchs of the Hon.Omar Clark, Carratunk, was in the city Friday afternoon. The famous lumberman of the Kennebec told the PRESS that the lumber business on his river was going to be a little better than it had promised a while ago Mr. Clark is about to cut this seasou just across the Canada line, some rare old first growth white pine. Some of the trees will scale three thousand each. This pine Mr.Clark bought recently of Weston F.Milliken, of this city.

An export duty imposed by the Canadian government has hitherto prevented Mr.Clark from getting this pine, upon which he has had his eye ever since he worked establishing the boundary line years ago. MUSIC AND DRAMATlie Last night, Mr. Charles H. company, headed by Mr. George W.

Wilson, and embracing several of the old.Boston Museum company, produced at Portland Theatre a farce-comedy, that ran at the Museum for months, and afterwards gained a widespread notoriety through the country. The audience last evening were kept in a ripple of laughter the beginning to the end of the play. As is well known, for the piece has been seen In Portland before, Mr. characterization of the old deaf boat builder, Mucclesfield, is one of the most artistic efforts known to the stage. His make-up is his figure is entirely transformed.

He is a veritable old sea dog and combined. His nankeen clad bow legs, his breadth of beam and width of paunch like that of an old Dutch the protruding one of them almost a wall weather-beaten countenance, the carriage of the head, the impatient i A DtUlU gs U1 umj II 1IUVU ludicrous laugh, will never be forgotten when once seen. His deafness is personated iu a most natural manner, and in the ludicrous scene with old Butterscotch, when the latter is horrified at what he considers the brazen effrontery boat builder in acknowledging his intimacy with Mrs. Butterscotch, the boat builder caps the climax with Uuvnor, yer Bnt it is unnecessary to go fu ther in describing a portraiture that must be seen to he thoroughly enjoyed. Mr.

Wilson has very fair support. Miss Tuttle was very good as Mrs. Butterscotch, and Mrs. Pennoyer as Mrs. Mucclesfleld, and the'other characters were fairly taken.

The play will he repeated at the matinee today and this evening. Hawaii. A great audience greeted the performers at City Hall last evening, on the occasion of the second performance of the opera. There were lots of presentations of, flowers, the three little trainbearers had goodies handed them, there were encores galore. The mnsic seemed to- go with even greater spirit, if that.were possible, than the night previous.

The song and dance, a Liberal Minded is a very original movement and very taking. These are.the words of the song: a liberal-minded missionary, With views a little visionary Concerning modern future estate. In ail things puritanical. My metnods are mechanical. Come and convert you while you wait.

Oh. come and convert you while you wait. in creeds and things dogmatical. not at all tanatical nothing like what people call a prig. Of my cloth I am abusical.

And now and then musical, I sing and I can kick and dance a Jig, I sing and I can kick and dance a jig. In a manner ministerial, And a way quite etherical 1 often play the wicked game of pitch, hut at cards I am unfortunate. In faot led to think of late Some people in this town will soon he rich. Some people in this town will soon be rich. Vnn mil Ihink me hynocritical.

Because I seem so skeptical When not converting by the golden rule. But you surely ate mistaken. For my creed not forsaken. I'm a missionary of the modern school. a missionary of the modern school.

In speaking of the music las evening we were led into an error. We were informed.by members of the club that Mr. Mitchell was the author of March, played between the acts. The march is the composition of that skilled musician, Mr. Grimmer, whose taste and skill arranged the entire orchestration of the opera.

Tonight will'be the last performance, and thtre will be another immense audience. Marie Decca Concert Co. The Boston Herald says of Marie Decca, who is to appear in Kotzschmar Hall the 19th Mme. Decca simply delighted her audience and carried all present captive by her magnineent vocal gifts. She is a singer who stands as prominently in the list of the artist as any heard here in the last decade.

Gifted with a voice of remarkable range and singularly even in its development, faultlessly true and pure in all its topes, she makes it perform all the demands of the most difficult compositions with a grace and ease that is positively refreshing. The of the song has seldom had such a brilliant interpretation as she gave it, and as for the aria, no singer has approached The Decca in singing it, Tarts-pure fruit jellies-at Special Revival Meetings.
