Quo vadis." Coming Soon.

For one night only. Saturday. oct
y. At the Opera House. Messers F. g.
Whitney and Edwin Knowles will
present for the first time here their
stupendous production of Quo Vadis''
as dramatized by Stanislaus STANCE
Those who have read the book will not
find the lines of the play to be the
same. for Mr.. STANCE has taken the
original from which to make out many
Of the finer points not to be found in
the English version OF course the
story is the same and the many thrill
ing incidents portrayed are faithfully
painted in life in a realistic manner
1t is hardly necessary to recount the
characters in the play for they are
we'll known to those who have read the
book. The parts have been placed in
competent hands and most faithful
portrayal of the scenes and incidents
surrounding the tyrant Nero may be
expected.
The sale of seats will begin in due
season at Staples. Smith & Moody's,
and there will be no advance in prices
despite the great expense entailed in
bringing such production here.

III mat section there is no end to the

had not the slightest trouble in getting
all the game they wanted.
While away Mr.. Chadbourne
talked a good deal with
the guides in that section
and from them learned that last winter
was the most severe the deer have ex-
perienced for Years. In some sections
especially in the Rangeley region the
snow was so deep during the winter
that great many deer were nor ahla
to get about and therefore died from,
starvation. One guide told him of an
instance where 81 deer We're found
dead They had died from starvation
rs the snow was 50 deep that they
were not able to get about in the
woods in search of food. That is bat
one instance. There is but slight CUES
uon that great many deer died in the
same manner. And it is possible that
this j. the reason why there are so
many deer in Washington county since
there would naturally be less snow
near the coast than inland.

on the same train were also six moose.
Concerning the moose Mr. ChadbOurne
was told by one OF the guides that
there was never time when the moose
We're more plentiful in that section
than this year
After considering the matter he has
come to the conclusion that there is
but slight foundation for the stories
that the sportsmen are extcrminating
the deer.

which regiment lost the largest number
of men. The State of Maine sent to the

each regiment performed every duty it
was called upon to do. Some OF the rcs-

The First Maine Regiment was mus

The men served their whole time of enlist
