WILLIAM 7. HODGE.

Ever since the prodigiOus triumph of
William I. Hodge as Mr. Stubbins in
Mrs Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" it
has been surmised rather freely that
Liebler & Co would sooner or later
add the name of this versatile and skill
full comedian to their already formida
Bile list of stellar attractions. 1t seemed
only question of time when a vehicle
suitable to Mr. Hodges temperamental
humor would be found in order to place
him in the light Of good advantage.
Now then it occurred to Mr. Hodge that
dramatization Of his own book,
Eighteen Miles from Home" If prop
erly made, would be the very thing,
so he straightway set himself to work
upon the attempt. especially with a
view to developing the central charac-
ter of its story. OF course the gifted
young author actor fully realized that
after the tremendous hit of his Mr.
Stubbins his future work would be
measured by his ability to present
certain type of begrizzled characters,
still his ambition seemed guided by a
| fixed determination to return to the
more youthful expressions of his comic
/ StnluS, lLt SAINT ludt uldut Ills EGte-
man Witwarsh in Sag Harbor' and
Stephen Tully in "Sky Farm the most
talked about characters in a mighty
| long spell. He realized that Joseph
Beecher as outlined in his Eighteen
Miles from Home" which comes to
Polls tonight, would take him back to
the scenes of his earlier successes and
at the same time afford opportunity fol
the introduction of new stage hero.
AS Joseph Beecher, Mr. Hodge feels
that he has caught the spirit of his
first endeavors and in offering his own
dramatic version of his own story con
siders that another original addition is
guaranteed to a series of plays tc
which belong Sag Harbor," "Shore
Acres" and one or two others that have
never ceased to command the attention
of theater patrons who admire homely
sentiment and natural humor. Prices
are %. 80, 10, 81 and S1.50.

HENRIETTA CROSMAN.

There should be rousing welcome
for Henrietta Crosman, most distin-
guished of American actresses, when
she comes to Polls Wednesday even
ing in the new modern comedy. Mary,
Mary, Quite Contrary" If any dra-
matte attraction is entitled to consid-
GRAFTON, and is calculated to evoke en-
thusiasm, it is the appearance of Miss
Crosman. So wide her fame, based
as it is on series Of glowing triumphs,
that everybody will wish to see her
when she comes to this city. No an
nouncement for the local theater is de-
serving of more general consideration
than that of the visit of Miss Cros-
man, who beyond dispute is the most
brilliant and the most highly gifted of
present day actresses. No woman on
the American stage has achieved as
wide a measure OF popularity in the
big cities of the country, or has TO her
credit such a remarkable record of long
New York runs. She is coming here
now in the most recent of her success
es, which is also her greatest. In
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" she has
scored the most pronounced hit OF her
career. The comedy is modern, and Is
the first of the kind in which Miss
Grosman has appeared for Iseperal
years. Because OF this clement of nov
city everybody will wish to see how
charming she is In the character of a
high-willed young woman of to-day.
Her comedy talents which are beyond
those of any other comedienne of the
present generation are fascinatingly
expressed in the role of an up to date,
wealthy and high-spirited young per.
son of social position. Naturally. the
comedy will be magnificently staged
and capitally acted. In these respects
Miss Crosman never fails. Prices are
%, 30, 80, 81 and s1.50. No free list.

love for the girl prompts him to take
upon himself the terrible charge and
thereby save the girl from eternal dis
grace. Around this unusual chain Of
circumstances there runs a story Of
exciting and thoroughly realistic
scenes and the mounting is claimed 10
be nigh perfection. Prices are %. IS

Mass Meeting" and Ex-

not Be Successfully
Controverted.
Brighton, Ca, May s, 1905.

EDITOR ENTERPRIsE:-
L see that "Citizen" of Irwin
vile, is heading his letters or
communications from Brighton
again and trying to mislead the
citizens of Irwin county as be-
fore as to his whereabouts and
intentions. All this tax views is
nothing but rot" in my opinion.
let's see about them. Unfortun-
ate1y the the people of Irwin
county will have to build her
public buildings, if built at 1r-
winville with no better accomoda-
tons to the people and at cost
and size, by taxes, to accommodate
her rapidly filling territory and
also to maintain unassisted, all
her bridges across Alapaha river.
By the creation of Henderson
and Tiff counties this last ex-
pense will be divided as when
they are created, outside the
Alapaha bridges, neither new
county will have any bridging
worthy of mention.
People on the west side ofAlap-
aha are awake to their interest
and they do not desire to contin-
ue in the future as they have in
the past, knowing full we'll that
they, or a great majority of them
can attend to their business bet:

they naturally drift to do their
trading, marketing their farm
products, and have better accom-.

Everybody interested in the

means everybody IN this section,
will be interested in the confer
ence of the joint committees rep

terday.
There has never been any real
conflict between the people in
terested in securing the new
counties of Northen, Tiff and
Henderson, but all along it has
been realized that the Gre
alton of one of these counties and
the failure of the other would
work great hardship on a large
per cent of the people IN the terri
tory affected. The Triton con-
ference was called, not for the
purpose of com bination, for each
community interested prefers to
rest its case on it's individual
merits, but the necessity for a
mutual agreement as to the d.
vision of the territory and map

Chicago. April 10.-One of the
most startling moves made by west
ern railroads in traffic for long time
was made by the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois today, when it announced the
line will absorb the terminal charges
across the bridges al St. Louis on
all freight carried over it's road This
charge amounted to S. per car and
has hitherto been added TO the
freight charges to East st. Louis. BY
the new plan. the freight charges to
East St Louis will take the freight
across the bridge without toll to the
bridge company. The result will be
direct reduction in rates OF SIS per
car. The action of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois is without the con
sent pf the competing lines. but it is
expected that all roads leading from
Chicago to ST. Louis will quickly fol
low the example of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, and absorb the ter
minal charges in other directions, and
instead of following the action of this
road other lines may reduce rates to
other competitive points in the eff
fort to drive that line out of it's ag-
gressive position on the St. Louis bu-
