AMUSE MENTS.
ARIZONA" Is All Right.

One of the most inspiring and e.e-
waiting productions to be given in this
city in a long time was that of 4-u-
gustus Thomas powerful play, "Ari-
zona," at the Opera house, Thursday
afternoon and evening.
The story is truly a delightful one.
Ii has deep plot, in which the center
figure is Lieutenant Denton of the 18th
United States Cavalry, stationed at
Aravaipa Valley, Arizona. The trouble
commences with Lieut.. Denton obtain
ing information that there was an in
tended elopement between his colonels
wife, EStrella Bonham, and Capt.
Hodgeman of the 18th u. S. Cavalry.
Lieut. Denton arrives at Col. Bonham's
drawing room in the nick of time to
prevent the elopemcnt and does SO at
his own peril, as, through the revenge
full spirit of Capt. Hodgeman, Col.
Bonham is informed that Lieut.. Denton
is at his home and the colonel arrives
to find him there and, through his
manliness in an attempt to shield the
honor of the coloners, wife. refuses to
explain his presence. Thus Col. Bon
hams Jealousy is aroused against
Lieut.. Denton and he is asked to re-
sign from the cavalry and does So
Woven in the plot is a love affair
between the sister of the colonel's
wife and Lieut.. Denton, which COM
plicates matters, and lends a great
deal of interest the father of the girl
believing firmly in the innocence of
Inc lieutenant, while Capt. Hodgman
and the colonel do their utmost to make
the parents believe him guilty and thus
divert their confidence in him.
With this as a neuclus the whole
play revolves and the ENHANCEMENT
finally works out after Capt Hodge,
man is fatally wounded by bullet
supposed to have come from the wea-
pom of Lieutenant Denton, but which
in the investigation is ascertained to
have been fired by Tony, the lover of
Lena, who had been ruined by
Hodgman. Thus Col Bonham is
forced to yield a point in his
attempt to convict Lieut.. Denton
and subsequently the tables turn
entirely when the .coloneTs wife can no
longer keep silent and tells the truth
and Lieut.. Denton is restored to his
former position in the cavalry, and a

reconciliation between the colonel and
wife is in view.
The play is illustrated by scenery,
costumes and manners that are pic
turcsque and the cast of characters
is certainly credit to the production.
Every part was a source of strength
and they were taken with a spirit and
cnivenment that kept the audience
delighted at all times. There was
plenty of display of will power that
carried thrill with it and yet there
was plenty of wit intermingled. Miss
Alice Chandler as Estrella Bonham.
took her part with ease and power.
Lieut.. Denton gave an excellent ex-
hibition of force of character anu was
very pleasing to the audience. Charles
Mason as Col. Bonham carried out his
duties as commanding officer with
dignity and at all times displayed
firmness that gave the play much
strength. John Drury as Tony Mos
tano, Mexican handled his difficult
part to perfection.

Augusta laundry a have recently
received notitioatio hat the Maine
State Laundrymen Association Will
hold a convention Portland, next
MondaN. The con sltion viii be held
at the West End ptel in the after
noon. Tho purpos tf the convention,
as outline in no + :ations received
here, is to increase p prices on laun-
cry work about rs cent and make
the same uniform I ughout the State.
1t is the desire to "a cease the cost of
laundrying collars ie m cents to 2R
cents, open shirts 10 q 10 cents to -
cents and charge : cents for plated
bosom shirts. Besiles these it is the
wish to make a general rise on all
laundry work EXCEPT hannels. This
step is deemed just in view of the ex-
ira cost of fuel supply and other nee
essities. 1t is doubtful, however, if
Augusta laundries are represented at
the convention or t they will be af-
fected by it.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Routine Work and Highway TangIe
Up In WinsIow.

The new board of county commits
sioners had their first meeting, yester-
day. II. II. Adams of Belgrade, the in
flee Josiah w. Bassett of Winslow
was chosen chairman.
A petition headed by Lester A. Simp-
son was received from Winslow ask
ing for a change in location of high
way. The road in question runs through
the Holingsworth neighborhood and
was laid out in 1906 by the county
commissioners, it's width being four
rods. Afterwards the bounds were
careIessly maintained, and a number
Of people erected buildings that en-
croached upon the highway. The en-
croachment didn't effect the usefulness
of the highway, and an attempt was
made to remedy it by the voters in
town meeting changing the width to
three and one-half rods. OF course
that would have no legality, and the
matter was laid before the county
commissioners, but owing to various
reasons they did not make the change.
This is another attempt to straighten
out the tangle. A hearing was APP
pointed at Town hall, Winslow, Feb.
IL, at 10 A. NJ.
A large amount of routine work was
transacted, chiefly in the receiving of
bills for expenses contracted in 1902
1t is expected to have these all in so
that the years business can be figured
up at the next meeting. The figures,
when made, will show a substantial
reduction of the county debt.
Adjournment taken till 10 A. NJ,
next Tuesday.

THE APPLE MARKET.
Less Demand Than Was Expected and
Prices Lower.

The latest word from the apple mar
ket is not of a nature to be encourage
ing to Maine people. The market
opened in the fall very similarly to
what it did in 1901, and all the apple
raisers felt happy over the prospects
of another good winter market But
the bottom seems in measure to have
dropped out of it. European demand
has proven below the average, and
American big cities are taking smaller
quantities than usual. The high price
of fuel and meat has caused economy,
and fruit is one of the things that
many people think they can get along
without.
In a conversation with A. T. Fuller
yesterday morning, he told a Journal
man of down river orchardist who
shipped some of his crop, good apples
to Boston commission merchant and
after paying for handling, freight, COM
mission and the barrels, he received
just 81 cents net per barrel Mr.
Fuller shipped more than 1900 barrels
to New England cities, last season.
and did well at it. This year he has
only sent a few small lots and lost
money on those.
-- There is considerable complaint
that the changeable weather is start
ing apples to rotting badly in some
cellars sNo variety seems exempt from
this tendency to rot, unless it is the
RoXhury Russets which are never d
prominent feature of the market.
The demand in Providence for Rhode
Island Greetings is less demoralized,
than other markets, but that is over
crowded at present. Everywhere else
the Greetings are in even less demand
than the handsome red apples

Some time ago Andrew Carnegie
donated sum of money to the city
of Charleston, in this state, in order
to construct a library. Now James
II. Rardin. the versatile and caustic
editor of the Charleston News, says
that if Uncle Andy were to see the
structure that they have built with
his money at the county seat he
would probably say 'Hoot, mOn," and
shed some very saline tears. Mr.. Rar-
din declares that the money has been
spent very unwisely. for the building
looks like an understood bee hive and
has about the symmetrical architec-
tural proportions of strawberry
box. Thus we go on from one woe to
another. Even when man has mon
ey to burn" it doesn't follow that the
use of it for commendable purposes
will relieve him from the regrets that
must follow just criticism of results.
