John Cralq as "Prince Karl"

On the occasion of the closing of
the Castle Square Theatre Stock Com
pany's winter season in Boston q year
ago it seemed as if fate and industry
combined to make the fortunes of their
protege. John Craig. FoItune had been
holding out her hand to him all sea-
son, industry had been helping him
20 grasp it, Need after need of praise
had been bestowed on his as he arose
in public estimation by the force of
mis- dramatic art. Slowly, Zealously he
reached for the wreath; but it was
withheld until his cup should be filled
TO the overlooking, and it remained
ror his last characterization, when it
seemed that he had been elevated the
higher that his fail might be greater,
to Win The actual crown.
Success after success came as each
dramatic assignment brought new
laurels and greater praise; but when
It was announced that his farewell bill
should be Hamlet" shades of the
greater players cOnjured themselves up
before John Craig's patrons and they
thought he had made mistake. Heart
md soul, zeal and study We're put into
ng to the published accounts at that
inc, The Danish Prince was his best
.Geation of the year, and it sent the
player forth with Il halo of admiration
hat has never been dimmed. April
, brought another winter season to 4
lose, and again another tragedy,
'Othello," claimed his attention, already
played With favorable results. Then
ess than q fortnight elapsed before
his ambitious actor exercised his YER
ability in the light comedy, prince
Karl" 1t seems that no two bills could

IN opening night. The patronage thus
ar extended gives evidence of the APP
probation OF his judgment in Offering
his piece and the audience that
'rOWded the BijOu theatre. Boston, sub
Itantially atteSted their regard for him
luling his weeks engagement at that
!ouee.
John Craig has selected this piece
ut of the 40 participated in as the
Medium most likely to please his pa
rons. 1t is by Archibald Clavering
iunter, and is a comedy showing how
/ prince became Turnkey, evolving
nimSelf into prince again. who
through his force of character wins an
american heiress. and takes her away

lctcrs are in the hands of competent
players, we'll known in the metropolis.

HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED
SPRING CAThRRH BY USE OF PE-Rl-NA.
Nothing Robs One of Strength Like Spring Catarrh--
Spring Fever is Spring Catarrh

itor OF Erie county, New York, Hon.
John W. Neff, in a recent letter written
at Buffalo, New York, stated: az was
persuaded by friend to try bottle Of
your great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the
results were SO gratifying that am
more than pleased to recommend it.p
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs tonic In the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried it has had the same experience as
Mrs. D. w. Timberlake, of Lynchburg,
Va, who, in recent letter, made use of
the following words: 81 always take
dose Of Peruna after business hours, as
it is great thing for the nerves. There
is no better spring tonic, and have
used about all of Them"
Cafarrh in Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medicines
more effective. A short course of Pc
runa, assisted by the balmy air of spring,
will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh
that have resisted treatment for years.

STATE HOUSE.
Important Decree Rendered by
Railroad Commissioners.
Proposed Press Gallery in Repre-
sentatives' Hall, State Capittl.
Value of Bicycles in Maine Shows
Large Decrease Since 1893.

The board of railroad commissioners
rendered an important decision, yester-
day. Il was in relation to Il highway
crossing over the Grand Trunk railway
ut DanVille Junction, which is q part
of the city of Auburn. 1t seems that
in 1901 the county commissioners Of
Androscoggin laid out a highway across
the Grand Trunk track, near the Dam
Vile station. The company did not
like the plan and protested against
it. claiming that the highway
crossed part of it's station
glounds ana that therefore the
highway was not legally laid out. Much
discussion ensucd until finally the mu-
nicipal officers of Auburn petitioned the
] railroad commissioners for a settlement
of the matter. Two hearings have re-
Gently been held at Danville, at which
both sides of the controversy were rep
resented by counsel. Yesterday, Com
missioners Peaks, Chadbourne and
Spoford gave out their decision.
1t was to the effect that the highway
had been legally laid out, and that it
was so laid out by the county commits
sionerG of Androscoggin and not by tire
municipal officers of Auburn; therefore
the latter WAS obliged to petition the
railroad commissioners for an appoF
tiOnment of the expense of constructing
the highway crossing, which, the COM
mieSioners decrced should DE built un-
dc:ncath the tracks of the Grand Trunk
railway. They also deCreed that the
city of Auburn should furnish $4,000
toward the cost of construction ana
the railroad company should provide
the balance necessary to build the same
to the satisfaction OF the railroad COM
misSi0nerS. stone abutmentS must be
built, with steel Orders running from
one to the other, and wide enough to
allow two tracks overhead. The esti-
mated cost of the work is from $4,000
to $4,000.
The commissioners at their session,
yesterday, approved the change of To-
cation of the Berwick, Eliot and York
street railroad in the towns of Rcr
wick and Eliot, so rs to avoid heavy
grades.
Hearings on the approval of location
of the Eustis Railroad Co. and on the
petition for appOrtionmcnt of the eX-
pcnse of building Il new bridge in
Stowhegan, between the town and the
SkowEegan and NorridgeWock Rail
road and Power Co, were continue
until Thursday. June 4, ut the office Of
the commissioners in this city.
When John Calvin stevens was last
AT the state House he had with him a
photograph OF the hail of the Ilou.r of
Representatives on which he had out
lined the idea that had been proposed
for extending the two side galleries
about four feet into the hall, and for
constructing a press gallery in the
nrchway directly behind the Speakers
desk. Colonel Stevens does not know,
rs yet. whether these changes viii over

be made. but at every session of the
Legislature the fact is made more anu
more apparent that there really isn't
room enough in the hail for the ac-
commodation of the members and for
the convenient dispatch of public pusl-
ness. Visitors crowd the aisles and
the floor whenever there is anything OF
interest going on, and members ar"

idea is to take out the double desks on
the floor and replace them with IN
diVidual desks. set in Scmi-Circle.
The illustration herewith shows now
the press gallery would look and also
shows the appearance of the proposed
extension of the side galleries.
In examining the report of the state
assessors for the year 1902 and similar
reports for preceding years it is noted
that the valuation of certain kinds OF
property. as returned by the local as
SCISSORS of the state. constantly changes.
The value of bicycles in the whole
State shows a falling off of nearly
100000 in the past four years. The
fact has been noticed for some time
that the bicycle, like the roller skate,
was being used less generally each
succeeding season; but few persons
would believe that their value as tax
able property had dropped one-third.
Yet it is true in 1888 the value of all
bicycles taxed in Maine was placed at
1921. APO. which was the highest in point
of value ever reached. In 1900 the
value of the bicycles had fallen to $500 =
$50 and in 1902 they We're valued at
$227.675.
In 1898. the assessors of Augusta
valued 1913 bicycles at $685., while. in 1906
they valued 405 bicycles at $1,000. thus
showing that the bike was not so valu-
able Il piece of property as before.
While the value of the bicycle has
gone down during the past four years
the value of carriages has increased

Property will not be allowed to be
