HER SSTH BIRTHDAY.
Mrs. Adaline Hill Observes Day With
Large Number of Friends.

To be So years old proved one Of
the greatest pleasures of Mrs. Ada
line Hills life Wednesday at her
home on the old Canaan road. Mrs.
Hill observed this day in a most ap-
propriate manner and in the evening
many of her friends gave her a Jolly
party in which she participated with
the same keenness and alertness of
mind as she would have a party in
her girlhood Mrs Hill is not wo-
man that years have labeled old but
she shows that life has always been
good to her. A person meeting her
does not feel that he is conversing
with a person nearly ninety years
old which is due to her acute mind
her senses being nearly as good as
ever. She is great reader and
reads without difficulty. Wednesday
evening when her friends were gath
cred around her she recited a poem
and then the other members of the
party participated in giving a very
delightful program. There were re-
citations by Lillian and Malcolm
SW Gin; monologue, Nellie Hill; read
ings. Mrs Augustus Crowell and by
Mrs Evelyn Pratt which were fol-
lowed by several selections on the
phonograph. After the program re-
freshments of ice cream and cake
were served.
Mrs. Hill was born in Skowhegan
and has always lived here, excepting
a short time when she lived in New
Hampshire. She is the widow of the
late John Hill who died several years
ago She has four children: Angler
Hill, Will Hill, jeanette Hill, and
Eugenia Parkman; and one grand
daughter, Mrs. Fred Morrill,. She
lives with her daughter, Jeanecre lriff5
on the old home place.

M, Rev. B. B. Merrill of the Con-
gregational church, officiating. The
services were in charge of the Car
rabasset lodge, |. o. o. F., and the
Canton lodge, of which he was a
member.
Mr.. Webb was born in Solon, De-
cember %, 1888. He began the gro
Gerry business when he was very
young, working for his father as
clerk when he could hardly see over
the counter. He came to Skowhegan
in 1859 and became manager in
store owned by the late Gov. Coburn.
He worked for him three years, con-
ducting a store for lumbermen. He
then went to Virginia where he was
manager of a grocery store owned by
Mr. Coburn that furnished food for
the soldiers. He was there but a
short time. In 1862 he came back to
Skowhegan and married Miss Vesta
NJ Lord They went to Solon where
Mr. Webb worked in the grocery
store for his father for one year. He
then returned to Skowhegan and
started in business for himself in a
building opposite where the NUM-
cipal building now is. He later
moved up where the livery stables
are now on Water street, and still
later to a store at the end of North
bridge where he conducted the gro
Gerry business for % years. Since
that time he has been in business on
Madison street. When Mr.. Webb
first started business in Skowhegan
the town was comparatively small.
He became affiliated with the Odd
Fellows in 1871, and was a member
of the Camp and Canton lodges. He
was town clerk for seventeen years,
and one of the assessors of the cor
poration fifteen years being the chair
man for several years. He was !. a
member of the first fire company in
the town, organized by R. E. Lyon
and was a member with General
Dyer and Asa Emery.
Mr.. Webb was of genial disposi-
ton and was always most accom-
modating in business. Beside his
wife and two daughters, Miss Eliza
beth and Miss Gertrude, Mr.. Webb
leaves a wide and sincere circle of
friends to mourn his death.

Lakewood Stock Company.

The season at Lakewood theatre
will open next Monday with two per-
formances at 2.40 and $40 p. M. The
opening bill will be the delightful
comedy drama, "a World Without
Men" and a brief synopsis of the
play may be of interest Three girls,
employed in the city have formed an
anti-matrimony society, their banner
reads in large type, mo Wedding
Rels For Us" They really believe
in themselves and their principles
until the right man happens to ap-
pear on their map, when one by one
they desert the cause and succumb to
the inevitable. There is a concise
and interesting story told in the play,
and the comedy is dainty and de-
lightful
There is no doubt that the new

the most talented in the history of
Lakewood. The members of the last
years company who will be seen TINS

Several new faces will be seen in
the ensemble of the company at the
lake this summer. They will include
Miss Lillian Niederauer, who comes
with the highest Of recommendations
and enough of the right kind of eX-
nerience to warrant the prophecy that
she will soon establish herself as p
favorite. She is a Bostonian and
graduated from the ranks of grand
opera. in which field she was a con-
tralto of acknowledged reputation.
She has successfully filled engage
ments in the hest stock companies in
the country including The CfNstle
Square. Boston and The Belasco
Stock. San Francisco.
Another newcomer is Walter Poul-
ter, who will play light comedy and
juvenile roles. Mr.. Pou|ter served
his apprenticeship in England and
came to this country with Kyrle Bel
lew. in whose original production of
"Raffles" he played Bunny. He is a
capable and versatile actor. and his
