The only opportunity that Augusta,
Gardiners'hnd Hallowell theatregoers
will have Of seeing that wonderful art
list Maude Adams, will be on April list.
~ the Empire Theatre, Lewiston, as
Miss Adams is shortly to sail for EV-
o6pe, and then return to. New York
.City for an unlimited run with new
play. The career of Maude Adams is
d dncument in the art of acting. She
is the one woman on the American
stage who has shown, a steady and
sure development and growth. Her
task in "The Jesters.'' is easily the
most ambitious she has ever UNDER
taken and her triumph in that play
has more than rewarded her intrepid
ity.
In "The TESTERS" she has not only
repeated her personal conquests of the
past, but by her artistry has won new
laurels. and contributed to the growth
of good tastes and discrimination in
the American theatre. For Miss Adj
ans engagement in Lewiston a one
rate round trip fare of $1.00 has been
made from the above three cities. land
tickets may be ordered at Opera House

1t is said that one well-known Au-
gusta citizen who owns cottage at
Cobbosseecontee got into a scrape "A
day or two ago through accepting the
advice of a fellow cOttager. The one
who got into the scrape was going to
do-a little touching up around the cot
tage by way of getting ready for the
summer season. but when he came to
look up his paint he found it frozen.
He had never learned the painters
trade and was at a loss what to do.
but looking up a friend who deals in
paints and oils. he besought him to
help him out of the dilemma. and was
told to set the pail on the stove. This
he did. and in order not to waste any
time he went outside the cottage to do
some other work while the paint was
thawing out. The paint thawed all
right, so it is said. but not just in the
way that the man anticipated. for
there was a good hot fire in the stove,
and this melting the solder around the
bottom of the pail, let the whole bust
ness out on top of the stove. The man
hopes to get the paint cleaned off the
stove and the smell of the paint out
of the cottage before the time comes
for moving out to the lake. but
whether he will or not is a question

Veloped by the night riders in the Burley
