Alden Benedict's great production
of Quo Vadis was presented at the
opera house Saturday night by an
excellent company. Unfortunately
there was not very large audience
owing doubtless to it's being near the
last of the month but it was certainly
deserving of a crowded house. Those
who have read the story in book
form appreciate how impressive must
be its production on the stage. John
Fay Palmer in the, role of Marcus
Ninicius Roman soldier, was de-
clded success and he was ably sup
ported by the rest of the cast.
Should the play appear in Barre again
there would be larger audience.

yet received. The Citizens of this city
took prompt action. and, as result,
instead of the Muskegon company b.
coming the property Of the Erie 1t was
turned over to the Citizens company.
These three transactions were ex-
plotted with n great flourish of trum-
pets for the purpose of creating pam
ic among the other independent COM
panies and bringing them to a selling
mood. They were assured that several
other companies were negotiating, and
that in another sixty days independent
stock would be far below par, be-
cause, with several exchanges gone,
those that remained would be too iso-
ated to do business other than purely
local. In this city every effort was
made to stampede the stockholders in
the Citizens company to unload while
1t was yet time. and half dozen brok-
ers were out picking up all that could
be shaken out by the panic. The Citi-
zens' company called n special meet
ing Of its stockholders to counteract
this raid, and at this meeting the capi-
talization was increased to $500 900. and
then 1t was voted to pool the stock
as a safeguard against the purchase
OF the stock In the open market. James
M. Barnett, Lester ]. Rindge and F.. A..
stowe were made trustees, and the old
National bank was made transfer
agent for the pool. About Is per cent.
Of the stock has entered into the pool
ing arrangement.

Having Increased It's capital and
pooled the stock, the Citizens COM
pany, feeling secure against any fur.
ther raids, will in turn become aggres-
sive, and this movement, though just
started, Is rapidly assuming propor-
tions. The Citizens stockholders are
using their influence. not only here.

thrown out, whether any charges Is
made for the service or not. In Musk

done along the same line, with some
of the most prominent business men
In town pushing 1t.
The independent companies OF the
state have perfected their organization,
with all the companies in 1t excapt De-
troit and Kalamazoo. 1t Is probable
the stock in the different companies
will be pooled. as has been done in the
Citizens Of this city, as safeguard
against any more sales. The fight dur
ing the next six months will be fast
and furious. with the independent COM
panies standing together, backed by
local sentiment in each instance. II

be to purchase the entire Independent

Erie company will oppose the most. a.
