month he took a trip through our old

relation of his snowshoesing experience

Foxy CUTLER" Soon Here.

The forthcoming appearance of the
Klaw and Erlanger Opera Company OF
as people headed by Jerome Sykes in
deKoven and Smiths Foxy Quiller" at
the Opera House on Thursday evening,
Jan. 80, is the most important theatre
cal announcement of the season. This
is the greatest musical organization
which has ever been formed in this
country, and carries, in addition to a
complete and gorgeous scenic equip
ment and more than four hundred
beautiful costumes, a special orchestra
under the direction of Sig. A. DeNovel-
lis.
Foxy CUTLER is not the sequel to
'The Highwayman." The character
which Mr.. Sykes has made the most
famous on the comic opera stage, has
been taken, but his associates and
scenes are entirely new and the music
is of much higher order than that OF
the older work, requiring the best
artists who can be obtained, and o
great chorus. Klaw and Erlanger an
nounce the following members of tbs
supporting cast: Miss Eleanor Kent
Miss Grace Cameron, Miss Lillian

Mckinley DAY.

To the People of Maine:
A national memorial association has
been organized for the purpose of col
Letting the funds necessary for the
erection of a suitable monument at the
grave of William Mckinley. Auxiliary
| associations have been appointed by
| the governors of the various states to
cooperate with the national associa-
ton in this noble work. The Maine
Auxiliary Association consists OF
eighteen members. representing all of
/ the sixteen counties of the State, and
is made up as follows:
Androscoggin, Seth NJ. Carter, All
burn; Aroostook, r. w. Shaw, Houl-
ton; Cumberland, VIM. II. Dow, Oscar
r. Wish, Portland; Franklin. j. NJ. S.

The work of raising funds in each
county is under the immediate direc-
ton of the member or members repre-
senting it on the above State commit
tee. 1t is expected that active cooper
alton will be given in the work by lead
IN oft n oil thn nf tho
State.
Wednesday, the Goth day of Janu-
airy, will be the 59th anniversary
of the birth of William Mckinley
During his eventful and useful life he
was very fond of and took a wonderful
interest in children. I take the liberty
of suggesting that this day be known
as Mckinley day" and that at least
some portion of it be set aside by
all the schools of Maine, as will be done
in other states of the union, for special
exercises appropriate to the occasion,
also that each pupil who desires to do
so be given an opportunity to contrib
ute his or her mite to the Mckinley
memorial fund. I also suggest that on
the Sunday next preceding the 29th
| Of January, the churches pay apprOpri-
ate tribute to the memory of our late
President and that those who wish it
may be given an opportunity to help
on with their contributions this great
work that shall testify through the
| years to come to the love and esteem
in which the American people cherish
the just fame of one of the greatest
men our country has ever produced.
| The people of Maine should feel a
pride in having their State take an
! honorable and creditable position in
| this great work, and should do their
full share in making it possible. Con-
tributions may be sent to the member
| Of the county committee or forwarded
direct to the treasurer, William II. Dow

LAW COURT DECISION.

Charles f. Sweet, ESQ.,, clerk of the
law court for the eastern district, re-
ceived. Tuesday, rescript in the Knox
county case of Herbert Bowden VS..
City of Rockland. The opinion was
drawn by Justice l.. A. Emery and is
as follows:
1T is within the statutory duty and
power of a street or road commissioner
to rebuild upon a larger scale a retain
ing wall for public street, when the
larger wall is necessary to make the
street safe and convenient, and when
the municipality has provided the land
and the funds therefor.
Pin rebuilding such retaining wall
the street or road commissioner acts as
public officer and not as an agent of
the municipality, unless it is made to
appear that the municipality assumed
itself the direction of the work and of
the commissioner.
3--UnlesS it is shown that the munich
pality has assumed the direction of the
work and of the commissioner, it is
not liable to third parties, including
employees, for any negligence of the
commissioner in the prosecution of the
work.
4-That the mayor and members of
the committee on streets of the city
council advised the street commissioner
of the city, that it was within his stat
utory power and duty to rebuild on a
larger scale retaining wall which had
given way, and urged him to do so with
the assurance that lit would be all
right" does not show that the city as
sumed control of the work of the COM
missioner.
THAT the city engineer made plans
and specifications for rebuilding a re-
tanning wall upon a larger scale and
delivered them to the street commits
sioner who proceeded to rebuild the
wall according to such plans and speci-
fications, does not make the city re-
sponsble for the negligence of the COM
missioner in carrying on the work
thus planned.
6--Where the street commissioner in
rebuilding a retaining wall under the
above circumstances set up a derrick
so negligently that by reason Of such
negligence a laborer on the work was
injured, the municipality is not respon-
sible.

and finally the snowshoes, and if it had
not been for this fact would probably
have been there now. If you have
