In view of the recent collision be-
tween an electric car and the Accom-
mediation train at the foot of Rines
hill, and the confusion which the sub
sequent investigation showed to ex-
list in the minds of employees as to the
proper place for the red signal ball, it
is of public interest that new orders
went into effect this week on the
Maine Central railroad lines at all
grade crossings. Hereafter gate cross
ing tenders are required to allow the
red signal ball, indicating the right of
way to steam trains, to remain down.
In the event of an approaching electric
car and if no train is in sight, the gate
tender is required to raise the ball, in
dicating a right of way to the electric
road AS soon as the car has passed
over the ball is lowered.

VIM. A. Brady's "Way Down East"

With an entire new scenic production
and with a capable cast, Way Down
East" will be seen at the Opera House
on Tuesday evening, March 81. The
popularity of this celebrated rural
play does not seem to wane. Local
managers consider it preferred
booking and clamor to get it on their
list of attractions. Acknowledging the
merit of the play, there are other fac
tors that have as much to do with its
success. Foremost is the fact that
Manager Brady has kept the cast up
to it's original standard of excellence.
Every year he has given the play an
entirely new scenic setting and in
every way has given the play the same
care and attention that he would a
new production. That these things
count in the long run. is evidenced by
the continued success of the play. The

Some lake smelts neatly packed and
beautifully preserved in glass Jars were

and attracted considerable attention
among the disciples of Isaac Walton.
The preservative used is said to be
from a formula secured in Germany,
and certainly it does its work Won
derfully well. The smelts in these jars
will come out of them in perfect con-
dition all ready to go on the spinner.

Gertrude coehIan in a New PLAY.

"Alice of Old Vincennes," the beauti-
full colonial romance of Maurice
Thompson's, from which Edward E.
Rose made the dramatization, in
which play Gertrude Coghlan will APP
pear at the Opera House on Thursday
evening, April 2, is perhaps not differ
ent in it's basic elements from other
Revolutionary novels, but there is a
wide variance in the treatment of the
incidents, and of nature. Miss Cogh-
Ian has won an unqualified success in
this piece. Romantic plays always
will be popular, and her acting in
Alice of Old Vincennes" is of the very
essence of romanticism.
