Mr.. Wyatt Turner,

The town of Otisfsld has recently lost man
who memory deserves some further notice the
passing mention of his death. Mr.. Wyatt
Turner of Bolster's Mills, was one of the Oldest
and most highly respected citizens of the
section in which he lived. He was born in the
first year of the present century, near the
the village already mentioned, and 10 which
his life was spent. In 1928 he commenced
business as trader and confined it in the same
place till his final sickness His death on
May 4th, occurred fifty years to month, and it
is said to day, from the date of the first opening
of his store. He was the village postmaster
thirty years.
His life was calm and quiet throughout; but
though destitute of startling events, it was by
no means without positive quality and high
worth. He was man of absolute integrity,
or as nearly so as imperfect man can we'll be !;
equally incapable of meanness or indrection.
He would have shrunk from doing any one
the least injustice even 10 his highest thought.
He was throughout his life an earnest friend
and promoter of moral reform. He was more
than just, he was generous and kind; without
children Of his own he still gave home and care
and love to those who needed. He was man
universally respected, and by all who really
knew him, sincerely beloved, as kind friend,
good neighbor, and an excelleat citizen, as a
business man of perfect uprightn ess, and as a
gentlemen Thoughtful, intelligent and courteous,
he will be long remembered. He left wild ow
and several foster children, who, 10 com mon
with the comm unity mourn his lost

Camille.

The representation of the title role in
"Camille" by Miss Thompson at the Museum
last evening was a notable performance. Very
rarely does the generally misunderstood nature
of the Lady of the Camelas receive so
adequate an Interpretation. Miss Thompson
was especially felcitous in tn, earlier scenes,
and escaped the mistakes on either hand to
which so many actresses are prone. She did
not make "Camille" an angel wanting only
the wings, nor did she present her as mere
wanton. Under all the persiflage, the petulant
capriciousness, and the defiant bearing Of the
heroine was an indication of the noble nature
which made the sacrifice of Marguerite
Gauthier possible. But care was taken that
delicacy and refinement of manner which did
not exist should not be simulated. The por-
traiture in fact was as near to Dumas picture
of the Frenchwoman of the half-world (some-
thing quite different from the English defini-
ton of dem-monde) as the English version
permits. In the last and strongest scenes where
the passionate despair of "Camlle" raises her
above all her faults the actress was very strong
and effective, though the presentation was
marred at times by insincerty, the emotion
being too evidently fictitious. But in the main
the characteriz alton was Of marked excelle ace.
To-day Miss Thompson closes her engage
ment. 1t is to be hoped that at these final
appearances this accomplished actress will
play to audiences worthy Of her great and
undeniable talent. At the matinee "East
Lynne will be given. This evening "Romeo
and Juliet" with Miss Ida Lewis as "Romeo.' u

Shooting Of Charles l.. York.

A despatch received in this city yesterday
morning announced that Charles L. York of
this city had accidentally shot himself in Chel-

to go to Boston to obtain a situation which had
been offered him on a horse railroad. Since
that time nothing has been heard from him
until despatch was received yesterday morn.
ing annoul cling his death. A later despatch
says that he was stopping at the house of his
brother-in-law, Capt. Lswis, in Chelsea. On
Thursday night, while undressing to retire, the
string attached to his eyeglasses caught in the
hammer Of his revolver in his vest pocket, dis
charging the weapon. The ball entered the
body, resulting in his death.
Mr.. York was for several years a member of
the police department, and was very valu-
able officer. He was man of great personal
courage and he leaves splendid record for
victories won over whole mobs. He was Al
years of age and leaves wife and one child to
mourn his loss. Mr.. York was by trade sail
maker and at one time was in the boot and
shoe business. He was a member of the
Knights of Pythias, Portland Lodge Of Masons
and the Citizens Mutual Relief Society. His
body will arrive here this morning.
There is "a current rumor that Mr.. York took
out an accident policy for $4,000 two days before
he left this city.

Death of Lieut.. George McF Arland.

LIEUT.. George mcfarland whose case was
fully reported in the PRESS yesterday died at
about the hour the paper containing an account
of his case went to press. At 10 clock Thurs
day night the attending physician turned him
over to DR.. Charles E. Banks and Mr.. Bradley,
medical STUDENT He appeared to be glad to
see the new visitors and calling them to his
bed conversed freely with them in regard to
his case. Owing to his severe attacks it was
necessary for them to give him morphine every
hour The very thought of this would almost
drive him mad. He would cover his head
with the bed cloth so as not to see the medicine.
ATT O'Clock he had very bad spell but not
quite as bad as the one referred to yesterday.
A large man weighing 200 pounds who was
holding him was thrown up against the wall
with terrible force. After this spasm his
pulse began to fail and it was very evident
that the man was dying. At AIS he had what
is known as titanic spasm. He doubled
himself up backwards and rose up bodily from
the bed When he came down he was perfect
| ly stiff. The spasm finally relaxed however
and he died very peacefully. He suffered
terribly during the night and at times would

to remove the saliva which had accumulated
and was choking him.
There is no doubt but what the case ia one

Miss Weathersby and her Frolques certainly
have good reason to be satisfied with their
audience at Music Hall last evening. In
quality and number was all that could be
desired. Hobbies which was brought out is
constructed on much the same plan as Croets
1t is rather more pretentous however, and has
more claim to be called a play. The dialogue
is bright and witty, the situation humorous
some of them rather broadly SO, and the puns
in which it abounds are contrary to the general
rule with puns comprehensive at sight
Nevertheless it seems to US not hardly SO well
calculated to bring out the peculiar talents of
the company as Cruets. Miss Weathersby
does not fud in it so many opportunities to
display her arch and witching ways, and one
misses some of the music of the latter.
Mr.. Goodwin as Pygmalion Whiffles was
irresistibly funny and is reolly the life of the
piece. His limitations of actors, which
proved so attractive on his former appearance,
were repeated. Perhaps his imitation of Frank
Mayo was the most striking, though those of
Sothern, Jefferson and Raymond were good
That of Barrett was not so successful. Miss
Weathersby was bright and sparkling as
usual, and Miss Fishers singing was enjoyable
as 1t always is Miss Jennie Weather5by' 8
Euphemia was rather coarse, especially as "the
ballet" Mr.. StaEton, who made hit in
Cruets, has less opportunity in Hobbies, but
what little falls to him is well done. Mr. Bow.
ser al the audience" gave very faithful por-
traiture of what audiences are at blonde and
brunette shows-very prone to use opera
glasses.
The farce which preceded Hobbies is exceed
ingly stupid and the entertainment would ~b'
very much improved by leaving it out.
This afternoon and evening Hobbies will b
repeated, and to full houses undoubtedly.
