Ereese Stock Company.

A stock company that promises many
strong features will begin a five
nights engagement at Opera House
next Tuesday. It is headed by Ed
mund Rreese from the Castle Square
theatre of Boston. Competent judges
of theatrical matters have analysed
the prospectus sent out by Shipman
Brothers, who manage the tour of Mr..
Breese, and they say that nothing is
lacking in the organization to make it
positively one Of the best companies OF
it's class ever sent out of New York.
Star. company and plays have been
considered from every standpoint, and
nothing that experience could suggest.
work accomplish, or that money could
buy. has been neglected to make this
company one Of the leaders of its
kind.
Edmund Breese proved himself an
actor Of unequaled ability, when lead
ing man for James O'Neill, Madame
Modjeska. and Rhea. During the past
season. his work at the Castle Square
theatre. in Boston, has shown him to
be one of Americas most versatile and
finished artists. If the endorsement of
cultured Boston means anything, to
an actor, certainly Mr. Breese has
much to be proud Of.
He is a man of ma gniflcent physique
ana had a handsome face, a well poised
| head and lacks nothing of that dash
and magnetism which enable the
actor to communicate directly to his
audience by kind of wireless telegra-
ply. He mas had enough experience to
be thorough actor, while he has not
been long enough in the business to
blunt his ambition or wear off the
keen edges of that desire to achieve
greater things, which keeps an actor
ever on the alert.
The company with which Mr.. Rreese
has been surrounded, includes Miss
Barbara Miller, v no as a star and
leading lady has won fame far and
wide: George II. Summers, a comedian
on the Frank Daniels order, was long
with the Waite Comedy company tour
ing the same territory that will be
visited by the Breese company this
season, so he will nave a chance to re-
new old friendships. He starred in
Broadhurst's THE House that Jack
Built company. and every one will re-
call his excellent performance of Viii
lie Slab the paper-hanger. The seat

A WEDDING EPISODE.
An Augusta Newly Welded Couple
Have Peculiar Experience.

One of Augustus recently-made Ben
edicts has a narrowing tale to tell Of
the treatment his bride and himself re-
ceived at the hands of their friends
when they were married. The morn
ing of the wedding he carried a brand
new dress suit case and a SO alligator
grip. in which were placed the articles
he thought he'd need on his wedding
trip to his wife's home, SO that all
their baggage might be shipped to-
gether. The marriage ceremony was
performed with success, the wedding
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1902-04-25

feast was served, the congratulations
of a multitude of friends extended, and
then the happy bridegroom bethought
himself of the necessity of getting his
stuff together for shipment to the
depot.
1t lacked only short time of the
departure of the train on which he
was to begin his journey to Boston,
New York and Washington. His wife's
girl-friends had insisted on packing
her trunk for her on the ground that
she should not exert herself on her
wedding day. and when he gazed up
on that trunk he heaved great sigh.
1t was plastered all over with red,
white, green and blue hearts and nearly
all kinds of grotesque figures could be
seen there.
In great, glaring letters these words
appeared: Bridal rousseau His
suit case and the alligator grip We're
also bedecked in the same manner He
was mad, but he grinned and bore it.
There was no time to lose; he could
not remove the obnoxious things, for
they were not simply pasted upon the
trunk, the case and the grip, but they
were glued there. Some of the queer
objects on the trunk were even nailed
on Yor keeps. And so he had the whole
lot bundled into a hack, taken to the
depot and checked to Boston. Amid
showers of old shoes, rice and the like,
the couple got away.
At Young's hotel that night, the
youthful Benedict spent three solid
hours, with hot water and cloths,
striving to remove the mass of stuff
from the baggage. His success was
not a brilliant one. To add still more
to his discontinue, two days later, he
received by express an extension case
covered with the same colored hearts,
and containing the statement that the
case was to be delivered to a newly
married couple. And he had to pay
express charges on the package, too.
Several evenings afterward, while i'm
Washington, the pair started from the
Ebbitt house to go to theatre. When
the street was reached it was found
it was raining. The husband returned
used since leaving home. And there
upon the street he opened the same and
raised it above his head, when presto.
Down came shower of rice that fairly
enveloped them. The girl friends had
done their work well.
Il propose to keep the trunk, case
and grip as souvenirs of my wedding
day while I live said he, yesterday,
after relating the story.

very valuable results. This is nothine;

can be seen at a glance, but Chairman
Carleton believes that it can be Sue

end he has sought the cooperation Of
many gentlemen who are interested in
the subject of sports. A regular can

Carleton says that he is meeting with

Hon. Fred Atwood OF WinterpOrt, has
long been connected with the manage
ment Of the State Reform school, and
IL greatly interested in the institution,
it's needs and requirements and in
everything that will tend to promote
the welfare Of the boys there domicilcd.
I'VE have lit boys in the school at
the present time" said Mr.. Atwood re-
Gently. This is about the number we
have averaged for several years. 1t is
pleasing to note the progress that
some of the young men have mage in
the world since leaving this school.
one of them is engineer in one of the
largest educational institutions in New
England and another boy who has been
teaching school this winter is now in a
hitting school preparing for college.
The anagement OF reformatories
is conducted much differently than for
merly. When our State reform school
was built in 1852 and the first superin-
tenicnt was w. Il. Latham, the boys
Were put into the cells the same as
prisoners in jails. The next superin-
tendcnt was Edward Wentworth, the
father Of the present superintendent,
and for whom the Wentworth cottage
was named In 1874 upon his recon-
incubation one-half of the cells were
abolished and the dormitory system
organized. In the next year the other
half of the cells were abolished. The
congregate plan-all of the school
being in one building-continued until
1898 when the Harrington cottage was
dedicated and about thirty boys placed
in it.
some five years ago the Wentworth
cottage was built. this making the sec
ond cottage. The cottage system is a
success, for it gives an opportunity TO
separate the different grades of schol-
ars and if two more cottages were
built it would be practicable to have a
graded school in the main building.
We formerly used two barrels of kero-
sepe a week, while now we are lighted
