on Comedy Company. Managers Henry
and Stewart, who recently assumed con-
troll of this company, have drawn about
them set of capable and clever actors
and actresses.
This is what the Newport
Herald says of the company:
From critic standpoint the Nicker-
son Company is one of the best seen here
this season The work of Mr.. Ryan is
well worth seeing. He is ably supported
by the entire company. On Saturday,
the manager of the company informed
our representative that they should play
The Lightning Rod Agent in the after,
noon by request, as this is one of their
best pieces the house should be packed to
the doors. On Saturday evening they play
one of their best plays, the title of which
will be given later"

ers, who now occupy the wooden build
ing which was erected on the lot soon

post office. The plans for the new build
ing have been drawn by Messrs. f. Fl. q
E. F. Fassett. The design is that of a
substantial structure of pleasing appear
ance. The building will be four stories in
height, the walls of the two lower being
largely of plate glass to give opportunity
for the display of goods. The building
will be constructed of iron and steel and
brick and stone. 1t will be of mill con-
struction, making it practically fire proof.
The block will be steam heated and
lighted by electricity. 1t will contain
both freight and passenger elevators.

AT MOOsEHEAD.
Live Bait Comes High But the Fishing is
Good.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.l

Greenville Junction, May 29.-Stormy
weather has prevailed for four days in
this part of the state, but fishing in
Moosehead lake continues to be good
enough to keep scores of anglers constant
ly at it with their rods. Live bait is
the killing part and it commands 81 so a
hundred, and is obtained only at one
place, the mouth of brook up in Spen-
Ger Bay. The enhanced value of the little
fish has caused several guides to go to
catching them and they are earning more
than they do guiding at So a day. The
best fishing reported by anglers who
make their headquarters at this end of the
lake is in the neighborhood of Deer Isl
and, and those who have been to Sandy
Bay have made good catches.
About every steamer on the lake is
in use and many of the sportsmen are
living aboard the crafts which they have
chartered
The water is rising gradually as re-
suit of the rain and it is feared that the
fish will not continue biting as well as
they have for the past two weeks. Barring
weather conditions, however, the best
part of the fishing season is at hand and
should the weather then change and the
water begin to drop extra large catches
should and probably will be the result.
For this reason the man who intends to
come here for fishing should be governed
largely by the weather unless he has
lots of time to stay and wait for more
favorable conditions as to come second
time.
At Schoodic lakes Takers from two to
eight pounds in weight are being taken.
Manager Cram of the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad, and Edward Stetson
of Bangor, were there Thursday in Mr..
Grants private car. They took seven
fish in a few hours.

German and American Railroad sta
lions
Baltimore SUM


The most astonishing figures are given
in some OF the German papers 81 the cost
of the government railroad stations in
that country. According to these papers
the Grand Central Station at Dresden cost
$14,000,0O0 that at Frankfort eight and q
half million, Cologne six million, and
Munich four million. 1t Is objected that
these expenditures are unjustifiable. end
that more money should be spent upon
the comfort of the passengers while
travelling and less upon the waiting
rooms. But the authorities contend that
the volume of travel and traffic demand
these great structures. In point OF fact
they are magnificent buildings, of great
size, and imposing architecture. They
are usually surrounded by well-kept
grounds, and in them there are excellent
restaurants, where people. whether ira
vellers or not. resort to drink beer. The
sums mentioned above seem excessive,
but in this country the railroads err on
the other side. Here and there we fini
a handsome station in this country. such
as the Mt. Royal Station, in baltimore,
and the Pennsylvania and Reading ter
minals in Philadelphia. But the ordinary
American station is most repulsive and
a most disagreeable place to wait in.
This is especially true Of the way sta
tions in the country and in small towns.
The ordinary country railroad waiting
room is usually very Objectionable, al
though there is doubtless some improve
ment in progress.

The English Hakim and the Cough.
Ing Turk.

Harper's Hound Table)
II was a cold fofgy night on the hills
overlooking the river LON, in Eastern
Bulgaria, and the Turkish sentries, in
their shoddy clothirg, and only half fed,
were shivering In the raw. misty air. The
one at the back Of the English Red Cres-
cent Hospital tent was from time TO time
taken with fits OF coughing that racked
his body and kept svery one In the tent
and went around "a the unfortunate SOL
der outside to examine him, and then
came back into tie tent to prepare a
prescription. Having to light a lantern
and search about for his medicines, he
took some little time getting IL ready.
Finally, with the disc in tumbler and
lantern in hand be went back TO the
sentry To his establishment the man
firmly declined to drink 1t, but in the end
the doctor, partly bg force and partly by
influence Of authority. made him gulp II
down, and returned to his bed with the
consciousness Of hating done good ac-
ton. Next morning however, he received
an invitation TO Sc. the Pasha in COM
mand, who angrily asked him for an ex-
PLANTATION of what n. had done during the
night to the sentry on the hospital tent.
In compelling him 10 take some drugs
against his will. WHEN he had nothing the
matter with him. The doctor was ma
turally astonished, hut 1t was at last dis
covered that while le was preparing the
prescription the 8ntries had been
changed without hislperceiving that any
thing was going on and a healthy man
substituted for the pne with the cough
for whom he made he dose. And so the
matter of why the sentry resisted the
Doctors benevolence was cleared up.
