In the hearts Of all who knew her.
Mrs. Sprague had been for many years q
member of fremont Baptist church. and
served in official capacity, being treasurer
for some years. In the words OF the pas

husband, her home, and her church.
Her death leaves vacancy, and long will
Il remain, as such vacancies are not soon

One Of the best bills OF the season will
be given at Keith's next week, with Will
liam Courtleigh and company, Laddie
Cliff, Marzella's trained bird, Pagan and
Byron, ,Spissell brothers and Mack, Charles
Leonard Fletcher, the Basque quartette
and the Goitz trio among the leading fea-
lures.
Peaches by George v. Hobart, is the
sketch Of William Courtleigh and his
company, which includes Richard P.
Crolius, comedian. LAddie Clin is an
English youth with repertoire of catchy
songs. accompanied by some remarkable
dancing.
There never has been q more beautiful
bird act shown in vaudeville than that Of
Marzella. The birds are the pick of the
feathered world, and have been trained to
do many unusual tricks.
FAgan and Byron are old dancing favor
ties. The acrobatic act of Spisseii broth
ers and Mack is Q great combination of
unusual stunts and odd comedy tricks.
Charles Leonard Fletcher presents several
remarkable impersonations, Mark Twain
and the late Richard Mansfield among
them. The Basque quartette is one Of the
best IN vaudeville, while the Goltz trio
present unique gymnastic turn.

versationalists; Edmonds and Lee. two

James B. Webster, OF yinalhayen, gen.
eral secretary Of the lobster fishermen's
union, has issued letter denying thatthe
union is responsible for the lobster Law OF
Hancock county which is causing 50 much
complaint among the lobster fishermen.
He says:
While hare no desire TO open any contrc-
versy on this subject, yet I am sensitive to
the fact that there in An implied blame for
such Law being passed, credited to the Lob
ster Fishermenis National Protective associa-
ton Qobster 6shermen's union, 50 called),
and in justice to All concerned win endeayor
to satisfy All parties interested TO prove that
any such assertions are utterly without
foundation
AT the time this special law was before the
Legislature, and even previously, this associa-
ton issued q circular to All its branches
in Hancock county, urging them to write .
protest against any close-time law being
passed and forward same to their representa-
tive Immediately.
This was done, knowing as we did what the
passage Of euch . Law would mean to the lob
ster fishermen Of Hancock cornss. The ulti-
mate outcome could not be otherwise than
satisfactory TO these fishermen, yet they could
rot be made to see where any close-time law
would be detrimental to their own interests.
Hancock county now has . law prohibiting
the catching Of Holsters, or OF transporting
lobster trspewithin "three nautical miles Of
the mainland or islands in or adjacent to said
county, passed at the express wish Of the
lobster fishermen Of that county, and because
these same fishermen are nov dissatisfied, the
blame has been credited to the lobster fisher
mems union
Had the majority Of the lobster fishermen
OF Hancock county belonged to the rank and
fle Of this association. and bad they op-
posed this Law. every effort would have been
made to defeat it in the Legislature.
Now that the Law has been passed, al the
request OF these fishermen. and too late they
see their mistake, it is childish for them to
try to shift the blame onto the lobster fisher
mems association
