A Grand PLAY,

1.-THE Charity Child made her ap-
pearance at LaVern's theater last night
before a packed house. To say that
the play is good is putting it mild, it
is excellent and the rendition of it was
very efficient. Mr.. Montgomery and
Miss Fairfax shared honors of the eve
ming. 1t is such plays as Peaceful
Valley" Shore Acres" THE Charity
Child that go long way toward ele-
waiting the stage, and are instrumental
in winning recognition of the true
worth of the men and women of
stageland.

Manager John B. Catron Of the Ho-
tel Dacres, who represented Walla
Walla at a melting Of the Lewis and
Clark fair commission at Tacoma last
Saturday when space in the Washing
ton building was allotted to the various
counties, arrived home this morning
from Portland.
II am well pleased at the way Walla
Walla and Whitman counties were
treated by the fair commissioners"
Mr.. Catron said this morning. 1.-The
space that l was able to secure for
Walla Walla county has a 50-foot
frontage and is 20 feet in depth, To-
Gated Immediately adjoining the state
agricultural and horticultural exhibit.
1t is next to one of the main en-
frances and I consider it one of the
most desirable spaces in the whole
building. I am sure that Walla Wallans
will be pleased with the location of the
CAAlOII NHCIl thCy oCC IL at tAO AoAA
this summer. the Spokane delegation
was rather insistent in being given
first choice, but when I pointed out
that Walla Walla and Whitman coun-
ties were the hub of the wheat and
agricultural section of the state, they
withdrew any objections they had adj
vanced and we were allotted the space
we were after.
1.-The meeting was very harmonious
considering the fact that there were
40 representatives from the different
counties present, each one after the
best possible space. The fair commits
sion and Commissioner Johnson were
very considerate and were able to al
lot the space in a manner satisfactory
to everybody concerned.

MAINE CENTRAL PLANS.
Some for Summer Season are An
nounced.

The Maine Central railroad We'd
nt,sray announced that ita Sunday SER
vice. to Bar HarbOr would be resumed
April 80. Trains will leave Bangor at
a. M, arriving at Bar HarbOr at S.45
O'Clock. This service is put on to ac-
commOdate cOttagers who wish to go
and stop over Sunday at their summer
homes. Connection is made with the
night train arriving at Bangor early
i'm the morning.
On May % the Maine Central will re-
sumo its through sleeping and parlor
car service between Boston and Mount
Desert Ferry and Bar HarbOr on the
night trains running both ways.
A Pullman sleeper will be run
through to Greenville, beginning May
It'll.
Arrangements have been made by
the Maine Central to run excursions to
Portland next week for those wishing
to see the production of the Shepherd
King at the Jefferson theatre. On Tues
day there will be half rates to Portland
from all points between Portland and
Waterville and between Portland and
Lewiston. On Friday. the 14th there
will be half rates to Portland from all
points between Brunswick and Rock
land. Tickets will be good until the
following day, thus allowing those on
the latter excursion to have time to
take in the matinee on Saturday.
The annual June excursion OF the
Maine Central to Montreal. Quebec and
St. Anne de EeauDre will be held on
the 18th of that month. The trip will
be through the Crawford Notch, and
over the Mountain Division and the
rates will be less than one-half the
regular fare. The tickets will be good
for 30 days and parlOr cars will be
run to accommodate all desiring to
travel on them.
The Maine Central has been doing
considerable good work this year in
an endeavor to get -of-the-State
people to spend a month or so in the
woods before the season at the sea-
shore begins. In this they have
been very successful and already
they are receiving a large num-
Der of inquiries from those who
wish to adopt this plan for the sum-
mer and thus have the enjoyment to
be obtained from both the forest and
the sea. The majority of the inquiries
are for a place from 50 to IS miles from
Portland and in many cases nearer,
and SebagO lake and the other nearby
inland resorts are being recommended
and it is expected that much additional
travel will go to these places OH this
account.

During the night. Wednesday. a pOr-
ton OF the roof on the Cony stable
which was recently purchased by Col
r. w. SOule fell in. the part affected
being the south end, where quite a
piece dropped through to the upper
floor. The stable was occupied by Wal
lace NJ. Prescott, and a number OF
horses We're quartered on the floor be-
low. under the part where the roof fell
but they were removed to another part
of the stable. Mr.. Prescott is now en-
gagged in removing mis- stock to anoth-
er stable. in order that the work of re-
modelling the building may be COM
menced. The cause of the roof falling
was thought to have been due to 4
timber slipping out of place.
