The Westerner," Last Night.

If Joe Greene made hit in this city,
last season, he has made ten strike
so soon this season, for the hall, last
evening, was well filled by an audience
that does not go to everything that
comes along. The piece, last evening,
was "The Westerner," swapping
bright play and full of comedy as well
as good tragedy. Mr.. Greene's part
was happily set in both comedy anj
tragedy. 1t was portrayal of the
all Love crept in, of course, and made
things sort of ridiculous for the man
who was brave enough to face death
or anything with man, but who shrank
love as some women shrink from a
mouse. 1t was laughable and at the
same time touching to see how near
and yet SO far were all from the solu-
the principals, which solution did not
come until after the young man afraid
of his sweetheart had had a battle
royal with man-sharks in the game of
diplomatic plotting. All members of
the company were well received, Mr.
Greene, Miss Merritt, Miss Earle, Miss
Euler, Mr.. Berry and the Murray chill
dren being favorites. OF course the
work was particularly well performed.

What Shall We Do !?

The local interest in the formation of
a polo team in this city seems to be on
the increase and it appears to be the
prevailing opinion that a good team
would be a paying investment in the
place. The only difficulty which arises
is that of suitable place for the games
City hall is too small, the floor having
barely space enough for playing sur
face to say nothing of room for the
spectators. Even if it We're large
enough it would hardly be practicable
to undertake to have regular games
here as the room is used by the su-
perior court, theatre entertainments
and almost every other thing which
wants a date in this city and it would
be almost impossible to secure it for
two or three evenings each week, which
would be necessary if it We're to be used
as a polo rink. 1t is certain tlMt if a
team is to represent WaterviIle in either
the Maine League or in the proposed
Eastern Maine League, a different place
for the games must be provided. There
is plenty of available land that can be
rented at reasonable rate and it has
been suggested that building suitable
for polo games can be erected at COM
paratively small cost. One man, who
has investigated the thing carefully
says that if a suitable building were
provided $500 could be easily made on
Il good polo game in this city the COM
ing season. If such is the case the pro-
ject ought not to languish because there
is no place at present in which to have
the games.-Evening Mail.

Funeral Of Miss Lunt.

The funeral of the late Miss Mabel
Lunt occurred from the late home on
College avenue. yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock. The house was crowded with
friends. All the teachers of the city
schools attended in body. The SER
vices were conducted by the Rev
George d. Lindsey Of the Pleasant
Street Methodist church. Mr.. Lindsey
gave touching description of the life
and character Of the deceased, touch
ing feelngly upon the particularly sad
fact of the death of the loved young
woman in the flower of her womanhood
and in the time when she was TIE
greatest blessing to those who loved
her, and when she was the best able
to enjoy life. The tender words or the
clergyman moved all in the room to
tears. The floral offerings were very
beautiful, breathing in their sweet per-
fume the love of those who had known
the deceased in life, those who had
known her best and loved her most.
The music seemed all the more solemn
because of the sudden blight that had
come to the family, and it was truly
the saddest occasion in the experience
of those present. The interment was
in Pine Grove cemetery.

opened and in came Il little girl. She was
a wee tot, hardly large enough to be wan

she held a small book. Walking up to
Mr.. Greene she said: Wont you take a

What name shall l put down?' asked
she.
"Oh, put your own name down, twill

And the smile that illumined that little

THE STATE RESTS
Prosecution Closes in Luet-
gert Trial at Chicago.
Counsel Vincent viii Make Opening
Address for Defence, Today.
Denies Murdsr and Promises Startling Dtyel-
opments In Few Days.

Chicago, Sept. 21-The direct evil
dence in the Luetgert case is in and
the state has rested. Shortly after 2
O'Clock this afternoon. the last witness
of the prosecution was heard. This
witness was Mrs. Louise Miller John
son. When sworn Mrs. Johnson testi-
fled that upon one occasion she saw
Luetgert in a rage chase his wife out
Of the house. The sausage maker, the
witness said. was armed with a re-
volver. He called his wife and threat
ened to shoot her. Ex-Judge Vincent
did not cross examine this witness at
length. When she left the stand, State
Attorney Deneen said:
IF the court plcases the state rests. -
There was a general movement In the
crowded court room as the spectators
glanced toward Luetgert and his
counsel. The former leaned forward
and whispered to Ex-Judge Vincent.
The latter arose and made a formal
motion that the case be taken from the
jury on the ground that the state had
failed to make out a case. Judge
Tuthill promptly Overruled this motion
without arguments.
Inen Mi. vincent stated tnat owing
to the lateness of the hour he would
like to postpone his opening address to
the jury until tomorrow morning.
There was no objection to this and an
adjournment was taken.
1t required just 20 days for the pre-
sentation of the evidence of the prose-
cu.ion. Ex-Judgc Vincent said, to-
night, that the defence would present
its side of the case in just half that
time.
MY address to the jury in opening
will be short and directly to the point" !"
he said. We deny the murder-the
corpus deiecti has not been proved, as
the law requires and this fact cannot
be assumed nor inferred from such
testimony as has been presented here.
We will explain away all the evidence
brought out here by the police depart
ment after months of investigation and
manipulation. ] do not care to give
out in full our defence until we get
started but l promise some startling
developments before we are through" :"
