would not call the affair immoral.
1t isn't high class enough. It's just
plain disgusting"
With this opinion from Chief of
Police Leroy Steward on the much
discussed opera and with a score OF
protests against it's further production
here a meeting of the directors of the
Chicago opera house today will, I'm
all probability, prohibit the further
staging of the alleged monstrosity
here.
Besides the outcries of Chicago pur-
lists against the opera patrons of the
stage here have shown that Salome
does not appeal. On the operas first
production, it drew $14,500. Last
night it drew only $4,000 barely
enough to cover the cost of produce
lion, The directors of the opera here
are believed to hold the view that
dwindling receipts have shown the
production to be tried and found
wanting in Chicago" and that Mary
Garden Will nave to make her boW
i'm some other show here in future.
If this action is not taken, Chief
Steward intimated the police might
take a hand as art critics.

The sun.

lie sun.
Two capacity audiences greeted
Miss Francis and her clever company
at the Sun theater last night, when
this splendid organization presented
for the first time In this city Arthur
Nelson's great musical farce comedy,
THE Bachelor and the Baby" The
offering is a distinct departure from
the accepted run Of vaudeville attrac-
tions not only being more pretensive
In the matter of scenery, novelties,
music and the number of people en-
ployed, but boasts of a superior cast
of competent players and chorus of
pretty grils. Among the musical
numbers the splendid specially of the
Stull sisters was we'll received. The
little tot. Baby Leda, was compelled
to respond to several encores. The
balance of the musical and chorus
numbers were heartily applauded,
including the Ring Around the
Rosey" selection dance, Minstrel
Boy Goodby," and others. As the en-
gagement of the Bachelor and the
Baby" company is for three days on
ly, seats will be at premium the bal
ance of their stay.
II was very small party which gath
cred at Grand Opera house Monday
evening to witness the production of
I'm the Bishops Carriage" The
company was an excellently well
balanced one and the production was
all that could be asked. There were
no weak spots in the cast and in
some points IL shone with great bril-
liancy. Hudson Liston. as Edward
Rajsey was the exceptionally strong
point while the work of Isabel Mac
Gregor as Nance Olden. or Nan, the
Nipper, Harry l.. Minturn as Will
liam Latimer and John Burkell as
Tom Dorgan were very pleasingly
produced.
The play was very superior to the
higher priced production which was
given Saturday night. and was
worthy of n far better patronage
than was accorded.

Weigh Yourself Before Using.

Weigh yourself before commencing to
use Samose, the great f1esh-forming food.
The wonderful sale on this preparation
since grst introduced in Augusta and the
remarkable results following its use have
made Bowditch, Webster & Co. such en-
thusiastic believers in the great value of
Samose that they give their personal
guarantee to refund the money if Samose
will not make thin people fat and restore
strength and health to those who use it.
This is a strong guarantee, but Bow
ditch, Webster & Co. have seen so many
of their customers who few weeks ago
looked like walking skeletons become
plump and WELL fsolely through the use
Of Samose that they feel they cannot
say too much to induce people to try it
This marvellous flesh-forming food is
assimilated as soon as it is taken into
the stomach, makes good, rich blood
tones up the weakened system, helps to-
asslmilate the fooG and makes the user
plump. well and rosy.

FOR 1909.
Annual Report Of Thomas
Leigh, City Solicitor
But Three Suits Brought Against
City During Year.
One Litigated Case All That
There Is Pending.

Following is the annual report of
City Solicitor Thomas Leigh, for the
municipal year ending March 81, 1910:
70 the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Augusta:
I have the honor to submit the fol-
lowing report of the Law department
of the City for the municipal year
ending March 81, 1910.
The City had only one case pending
in court at the time l assumed office,
April 1st, 1909.
This suit was entered at the jan
uary term OF the Supreme Judicial
Court 1909, in Waldo County by the
town of Durham and was brought
TO recover for pauper supplies,
amounting TO $211.00. furnished to Au-
gusta O. Goodwin in the year 1908.
The issue to be determined in the suit
was the pauper settlement of Augusta
O. Goodwin. / made very careful
and thorough examination into the
facts of this case, together with the
OverSeer of the Poor, to determine
whether the legal settlement of Mrs.
Goodwin was in Augusta or Hallowell,
which latter city had also been sued to
collect the same bill for supplies fur
nished and involving the same settle
ment. Prior to 1890, Mrs. Goodwin
had a legal settlement in the City of
Hallowell; during this year her hus-
band died and almost Immediately
thereafter she moved with her only
child to this city, and lived in Au
gusta eighteen consecutive years
without asking for or receiving any
pauper aid. During the whole period
she had never changed her residence
and beyond any question had q legal
Dauper settlement in Augusta.
Accordingly l advised the Overseer
of the Poor that the City was liable
in this action, for the amount sued
for together with interest and costs.
The writ brought by the town OF
Burnham VS.. Augusta was dated. Oc-
tober 6, 1908. and the amount then sued
amounted to $211.00. subsequent sup
plies were furnished Mrs. Goodwin af
ter the suit was brought and entered
in Court; so the City was obliged to
pay in full adjustment of this litiga
ton the sum of $273.96. in full salts
faction of debt, interest and costs.
During the past year three suits
have been brought against the City
of Augusta, namely:
Nj. C. Edwards VS.. City of Augusta
J. Herbert Shedd VS.. City of Au-
gusta.
Town of New Sharon VS.. City of Au-
gusta.
The action of Edwards VS.. Augusta
was entered in Supreme Judicial Court
at the October term, 1909. and was
brought to recover damages in the
sum of two thousand cocoon dollars
for personal injuries received on ac-
count of an alleged defect ana want
of repair in the sidewalk on the East
side or Arsenal street
An examination of the facts in the
case and the law applicable thereto
led me to the well-settled opinion that
the City was not liable in this action.
and I so advised the City Council. To
avoid the expense Of preparation and
trial. the suit was settled by the pay
ment of the sum of fifty (50) dollars
tc the plaintiff, because it would have
cost the City more than this amount
to have litigated the matter, assuming
the outcome of the suit had been in

OF Norman l.. Bahb was the point at
issue. After an investigation of the
facts fully, l was satisfied that the
evidence was conclusive that Babb had
pavper settlement in the City of
Westbrook. The case was finally adj
justed by an acknowledgment of liza
bility on the part of the defendant
city and payment of the account sued
for.
Francis f. Howard of Augusta gave
the city due notice of claim for
damages, amounting to two hundred
(2G0) dollars, on account of an injury
to a horse owned by him, causing
the death of the horse. by reason of
getting his right leg caught in a hole
in an alleged defective culvert in the
public highway which leads from Au-
gusta to Sidney.
This claim was referred by the City
Council to me as City Solicitor and
to the committee on highways. After
an examination of the location of the
defect and it's character and the evin.
dence in the case, considering II
value Of the horse, the settlement OF
the claim for $500 which was raid
Mr.. Howard, / considered a favorable
one for the CITY.
Pearl NJ. Willet, through his attor-
ney, has given the City notice of
claim for damages, in the sum of two

received resulting from an alleged de-

street civil suit for damages has
not yet been brought against the City
in this case.
Fred d. Loring of Gardiner. by his
notice duly served upon the City,
claims damages amounting to two
thousand (2000) dollars on account of
sustaining injuries to his person and
property by reason of an alleged de-
feet in the highway on state street.
The alleged defect consisted of the
projection above the Travelled way of

way company over this street for the
company's rolling stock. The resp"D-

way Company would be responsible
therefor. and will, undoubtedly. under
take the defense in the action If suit
is brought: IS well as the defense to
tire claim of Leonora A. Loring for
$4,000 growing out OF the same facts.
The work of the Law department for
the year ending April LIST. 1910. has
required a good deal of time and con-
