Fernald,s Sturgis Commission.

Governor Fernald has named the
members of the new Sturgis commits
sion. They are: Henry w. Cakes of

Havey of Sullivan, treasurer.
All the members of the commission

Messrs. Cakes and Pnenix are Repub-
licans. Mr.. Havey is a Democrat.
1t is said that the selection of Mr..
Havey as the Democratic member of
this commission was made last Mon
day after a personal interview by
Governor Fernald with Mr.. Havey,
and it also is said that the Governors
first choice as a successor to Mr.. Pet
tengill, the retiring chairman of the
board, was Senator Hastings of Beth
ell. 1t is known that Senator Hast
ings was in conference with Govern
or Fernald, at the Elm House We'd
nesday or Thursday of this week, and
Mr.. Hastings, but urged it upon him,
and that Senator Hastings took 1t I'M
der Adjustment, his only reason for
not accepting the position being that
he had no partner in his law business
and that the time required for the
work of the commission would take
SO much from his regular business
that he was afraid he would not be
able properly to attend to both.
Mr.. Phenix of York is about SO
years of age, has been member of
the Legislature. He was strongly re-
commended as candidate for county
treasurer of York at the last election
Andy p. Havey of Sullivan, who is

House of Representative of the State
Legislature. He is what is called a
Democratic prohibitionist and voted
against the repeal of the Sturgis law in
the last Legislature. MIR. Havey is
author of the law which becomes OPP
erative in July next providing that
the cost of enforcement by the Stur-
gis commission shall be paid by the

Keith's Boston Theatre.

The week of May 3rd at Keith's
Theatre will be notable for two of the
biggest productions that has probably
ever been seen in vaudeville. The
first is "The Top o. tn World''
Dancers and the Collie Ballet in
"Kriss Kringle's Dream" This is a
beautiful dancing and singing specta-
Gle that was put on in New York q
week ago and made a tremendous
hit. The company is large one and
the ballet is one of the best seen in
recent years. The entire production
is made up of novelties that are at
once pretty and entertaining,

1.-THE American Girl, to be seen at
the Skowhegan Opera House on Sat-
urday evening May is treat 10 all
who enjoy well-acted and enter
tanning comedy-dr 1t possesses
pathos, humor, specialties, besides a
strong and decided heart interest. A
scion English nobiitycomes to Amer
lea and hides his personality under
an assumed name. He meets and
falls in love with an American Grip
whom he makes his wife. Summoned
to meet his brother, he leaves his
young wife and by chain of cir
cumstances is called to England, from
which place he writes his wife, but,
in the meantime she is forced from
her home with her mother by an I'M
scrupulous william who loves her.
She finally reaches England where,
with her twins, she is forced to part
with a painting which WAS ex-
ecuted by her artist husband
Through many trials, protected by a
hustling Yankee theatrical manager,
she finally meets her husband who
has come into an Inheritance of a
title and fortune, and with her
two children is enabled to reward
her friends and circumvent her
enemies. The management has
placed the piece on the stage with
much carefulness and the several
characters are portrayed with the
most complete satisfaction. George
F. Hall, as Colonel Ross Boiler, is
simply immense. He enacts the
great American hustler to the limit
and there is a constant whirlwind of
fun and interest while he is in sight.
He sings, talks and throws ginger all
around while he is in the scene. His
character sketches are the limit, ard
his appearance in every act is the &C.
cassion of an outburst of applause.
The attraction is under the manage
ment of Frank w. Mason, whose 1.-THE
Wolf" company was the opening play
in the new opera house. Seats on

Three sections have been added to
these laws. One provides that when
ever the State register Of vital stats :
tics believes that Che record Of births,
marriages and deaths are not being
properly made, as provided by law,
that he shall visit the towns and in
vestigate and shall begin prosecution
if he considers it necessary. The city
or town clerk is required to immedi-
ately send a copy of death certifi-
cate, when the cause of de 4th is tu-
berculosis, to the local health officer
or to the secretary of the Board of
Health and another section provides
a penalty to be imposed on the city
or town clerk who does not make his
returns legible.

various papers he soon accepted staff
positions and developed ability to do
anything about an office from the
personal column to editorials. and
could even do fair job with stick
at the case.
He went from here to Auburn, about
1893 where he WAS connected with
the Auburn Gazette until that paper
suspended, dong about everything in
the editorial rooms and really manag-
ing the paper which was very widely
read at the time. While in Auburn
he became interested in union labor
all airs and did some valuable work
for the cause as a speaker as well as
writer. After working in Auburn he
was Ill the employ of the Kennebec
Journal at Augusta for a time and was
then transferred to Waterville. where
he had charge of this section of the
state for that paper until stricken
with blindness in 1898.
The sickness that cost him his eve
sight lasted about year, and as soon
as ne was able TO get about with a
courage that was the constant admir-
alton OF all who knew him, resumed
his newspaper work. He managed to
learn the touch system on the type
writer and became the Waterville
representative of the Associated
Press, Boston Globe, Bangor News,
Lewiston Journal and other papers.
Although barely able to distinguish
daylight from darkness he did his
work faithfully and well, retaining
all of his old time genial dash and
snap that made all he wrote SO inter-
! esting.
A Waterville newspaper man, writ
ing for the Sentinel of his former com
rade in journalism, pays the following
tribute to Mr.. McCone.
"But after all it will be more as a
friend than as a worker that "Jack''
will be missed. He was always cheer
full, even when working under the
greatest difficulties, and all he had
was given freely to those in need
Even when all but the bravest spirits
would have been relying on others he
made his own way and managed to
help many besides. He never sought
sympathy but was always willing to
fight his own fight in his own way and
toward the last with his back against
the wall and his strength failing show
ed that indomitable courage which
was his strongest characteristic,
shrinking from nothing. All young
newspaper men who came in contact

of them over the rough places Even
when blind Jack" could be relied on
for brotherly pull over the hill, and
many one it was he gave. The pat
ter of his cane has become a familiar
sound in Waterville and no matter
how busy it was always welcome from
one end of the town to the other
What help he needed he appreciated
fully and it was a pleasure to give
Whatever he did he did well, full
mans share. Waterville knew him
long and no place will mourn him
more. His was a pattern of many
shades, of far more good than evil
and into it went the best he knew.

YOU don't succeed try Try again Nhen ne
brought out Coast Marie, 2l1A. again yesterday
morning to beat Joseph Gibbins's Claro the half
mile on the upper end of the Speedway, it looked
to all of his friends if he had little chance
Claro can so just about fast as he wants to
and last week he defeated the mare in two easy
finishes Yesterday however, he did his equine
best TO make his owner realize that he had de-
cided TO rest on his Iaurels for a while for no
amount of urging could induce him TO make an
effort and he finished twice in jog, with Coast
Marie several lengths ahead OF him. This made
the honors even
After sending Coast Marie to the stable Mr..
Murphy got up behind his chestnut PAGER Free
Advice and drove him one winning heat with
Christopher Hackett's Sally A Earlier in the day
Mr. Hackett sat behind his cup winner Who Knows

mare thu results might have been different. for
Sally was carried a break, and Mr. Murphy added
another victory TO his list
Among the trotters Andrew Crawfords Composer
Thomas G. Finds's Ismalian Max OettingeT's Lady
Worthy and Edward Bottenuss Rose Electric
were prominent. In Composers first venture he
had for an opponent Ismalian, and although the
latter won. it proved TO be one of the closest
finishes of the day In his next tilt it looked to the
spectators though Composer won. He was
ing with Edward Bottenus's Rose Electric and he
was the first 10 reach the finishing post. Mr Bot
tenus did not protest, but Mr. Crawford said the
mare should have the heat, Composer had gained
on her when he broke
Lady Worthy the winning factor in two good
brushes She is much too fast for most of the
Speedway trotters, and Dr. c. II. Martins DECKER
which started with her was a little outclassed
Two more old favorites which were out on the
drive yesterday were Theodore " Bassett's NIistre
Wilkes and Thomas G. Hinds's Mona Wilkes. In a
friendly tilt Mistrel proved that she a little
more speed than her opponent could boast
