LOCALS.
AMUSE MENTS.
Rich hard Golden in led Prouty' Tonight.

The local theatrical season opens.
Tonight. at the Opera house with
Richard Golden in Jed Prouty and
the house should be filled. The same
attraction is offered for Thursday
evening. The seat sale is large. OF
this attraction, the Bangor Com
mercial has this to say regarding last
Friday nights performance:
Dick Golden, the same inimltaple
led of old was among his own Friday
night and he received the heartlest
ovation which as been accorded an
actor in wears when he made his first
appearance on the stage in his broken
down blackboard. The house falrly
shook with applause and cheers ana 1t
WAS some minutes before he was able
to give his opening lines. From then
until the curtain went down in the last
act. the audience was on the alert at
al times to show their appreciation OF
his art and to empha size the fact that
they were glad to see him again.
'All the other old friends of the
piece ard the new ones. too, We're en-
Enthusiastically received and hardly
person appeared on the stage but was
greeted with applause. 1t could not
have been a more cordial gathering
and Mr.. Golden can have no doubts
concerning tie number of his friends
here.
About the piece. The play is the
same sweet and simple drama as when
first produced. There have been prac-
ticallv no changes except the intro
ductinn Of several good SpeCialtieS in
IL, = h.
right time and which are brought in to
complete the scene and not for the sole
purpose of introducing vaudeville
artists There IS the tavern scene
ana the trial ana Beacon Hills flat
and Little Tretty's party: then. too.
.TedS old team is on the stage and the
same old handful is dragged in to save
Giddcns house.
ITS needless to speak of Mr.. Gold
ems PRESERVATION of Old Jed Prouty:
there are few people who have not seen
and wondered at his remarkable por-
trayal Of the famous old character of
Rucksport and these few, unless they
wish TO miss one of the genuine
pleasures of life. will witness it on
Saturday evening. Jed Prouty is one
of the best roles Of its sort on the stage
and no one has ever disputed the fact
that Dick Golden's portrayal Of the
doWn-east Yankee is truer to life than
any other 1t * a masterpiece of its
kind and the oftener one sees it the
more fun he gets out of the marvellous
facial expressions and the comiCal an
tics OF the actor.
Mr.. Golden, as has been always the
case. has the advantage Of being
strongly supported. Messrs. Morse.
Craig and Pike are all excellent In
their deinations Of the three famous
old Eucksportels, Hardy. Wilcox and
slower and time and again they were
applauded on Friday night. They are
characters which are frequently
initiated but which have never been
equalled and they never will be while
the roles are in the present hands. Mr.
Hushby as John Todd, Miss Medinges
as Tribulation Prouty. Miss kittleman
as Martha Giddens. MI. Collins as Bea-
con Hill and Lcota Sinclair as Little
Trctty. could not be improved up H..

REGULAR MEETING
Held by Commissioners for Kernebcc
County--UsuaI Routine Business.
They Will Attend Convention OF County Com.
m.ssioncrs at Ellsworth.

There was regular meeting of the
commissioners for Kennebec county at
their office at the Court house. yester-
day. The members of the board
wrestled with the usual large amount
of routine business during the day.
The most important thing to come
before them was petitions from a num-
beT Of parties requesting the commits
sioners to adjust the land damage
which which will be caused by the eX-
tension of the Wiscasset & Quebec
Railroad from Waterville to Weeks
Mills. The claimants were {. S. Cobb
and F. :. JOY of Nassalboro. J. b. and
A. b. Morrill, and ). *. Clark of China.
Hearings on these cases will be held
later.
In the eyes of the board, however, if
they are like the ordinary citizens. the
most important business was the trap
to Ellsworth to attend the eighth an
nual convention of county commission
ers to be held. today, ut the court
house at that city. All the commits
sioners of the State have received
invitations to be present ut this event.
The management are not only to
make it pleasure trip but if their
program is an Indication il Will be
highly instructive. The address by the
state highway commissioner OF Ner-
mont upon The Management of tnun-
try Roads" promises to be OF especlai
interest to the commissioners inaSmuch
as their official duties are very closely
! connected with the building and main
tenance of highways.
ON the day following this meeting
the commissioners will take an cNcur-
sion to Bar Harbor returning by way
of sorrento. Hancock Point and Sulll-
van. The Kennebec county representa-
tives will return directly to their homes
having completed all their business
here until their next regular meeting.
