Each year he presents spectacular il
lusions and new tricks in ledgerde-
main, with a company of artists sup
porting him, SO that his visits have be-

THEY SWIPED HIS ROLL.
Two Girls Get $685. From a Buffalo
Rube.


Observation-Disclosures of rob
bing Theodore Cargo Of 1895 in 3
hotel in Tenth street, Violet Burk
aged "a and Stella Simpson, aged 10
were each sent to the workhouse
by Magistrate John A. Fugassi. The
Burk girl was ordered to forfeit $50
or serve 60 days, and the Simpson
girl was sentenced to pay a fine OF
$25 or serve 80 days. They went to
the workhouse, being unable to pay
the fines.
Cargo, who arrived here from
Buffalo two weeks ago, kept his
savings in a cloth bag tied around
his waist. He says he met the Burk
girl in the hotel and that while he
was asleep in a room there she took
his money. When he awoke she was
missing.
He notified Patrolmen o. l.. Ora

houses ON his itinerary.
This season, Thurston carries 30
people with him and is re-enf6rced
with two carloads of scenery and cleo
trio effects. Among the new features
he will offer are: "The New Woman"
Animated Sketches" "The Evolution
of the Negro" "Aerial Fishing"
"Noah's Vision" "Balaam and His
Donkey. "The Chocolate Soldier"
Creation" and "The Phantoms of a
Partisan Studio" This last named fea-
ture is the same Thurston presented
with great success last summer at the
Theatre Varieties in Paris.
Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee, the Valentine will
offer Henry w. Savage's huge produc-
ton of the stage allegory, "Everywo-
man." This big drama has been prob
ABLY the most widely discussed produc-
tion since the Lieblers put on "The
Garden of Allah" and Joseph and His
Brethren" 1t took New York by storm
and, after owe ra yea rthere, is now
making its first provincial tour.
With company of $50 people and
three carloads of scenery, Henry w.
Savage's great dramatic spectacle,
Every Woman" will play a two-day
engagement at the Valentine theatre
next Friday and Saturday, with Sat-
urday matinee. The production is the
largest and most elaborate of the
Ohio theatrical season to date.
"Everywomen," written by the late
Walter Browne and never produced
until after his death, probably has
been more widely discussed in press
and magazines throughout the coun-
try than any play since Ben Hur
made its debut. 1t is stage allegory,
in which woman, seeking love and
happiness, is shown beset by the
weaknesses and subtle temptations to
which her sex is heir. Step by step,
through trial and stress, she forges
toward her goal and is finally crowned
with success.
The production ran for nearly two
seasons in New York and has proven
sensation on the road. 1t combines
drama, grand opera and spectacular.
The company carries a special SYM
phony orchestra to render the score,
composed by George Whitfield Chad
wi, k, dean of the famous New Eng
land Conservatory of Music, at Bos-
ton.

Smith, Answering Lobster Men,
Says Federal Method Is Benefit

public meeting OF Maine lobstermen at
which the work of the lobster hatchery
at Boothbay Harbor was violently de-
nounced as highly injurious to the lobster
industry In the face of such sentiments
you can understand how difficult i, is for
the bureau to please those in whose be-
half it is laboring, and what thank
less task is set before it when its efforts
to spend public money properly and to
increase its discriminating operations
are denounced as a positive crime.
You will. of course, appreciate the
fact that the contentious of Mr. Fossett,
which appear to be endorsed by Mr. Per-
cy, in respect to the alleged fertility of
female Holsters from which the eggs
have been stripped, apply with equal
force, to any female Holsters of breeding
age. If it be injurious to the supply to
market those relatively few individuals
from which the external eggs have been
saved. it is equally destructive to mar
ket any female whatever. Considering
the enormous numbers of mature female
Holsters that are annually placed on the
market by the Maine iobstermen, repre-
senting many thousand tons in weight
and comprising lopStefS Wn,ch nave never
had an opportunity to spawn, the few
disposed OF by this bureau after their
eggs have been utilized for propagatlng
purposes constitute negliihle quantity,
as must be apparent to everyone who de-
votes serious consideration to the matter
The bureau would be pleased to have
anyone advance a valid argument show
ing why it is improper to market a few
thousand Holsters whose eggs have been
saved for Matching purposes and why 1t
is entirely proper for the fishermen to
market millions of female Holsters with
out any regard to their prospective egg
production; also why it is improper to
sell the stripped Holsters outright but
proper for the fishermen to take them
and sell them after release by the hatch
cry"

Given herewith is an excellent group
photograph showing the city carrier
force of the Augusta post office
quarter of a century ago, the faces of
all OF whom are familiar to many OF
the Journal readers, and three of
whom are still making their rounds
every day with the faithfulness which
has characterized their work since
they were first appointed to the posi-
itions which they now hold.
The men in the group, beginning at
the left of the picture, are: Albert M.
Gay, Herbert A. Locke. Edward H.
Gardner. Oliver Tavernier (xnown al
so as Frank Thompson). Thomas A.
Brennan and Edwin H. Farnham, and
those still tramping the streets of the
city each day of the week Except
Sundays) each week of the month
and each month of the year are:
Messrs. Brennan, Gardner and Cay
Mr. Gardner rounded out his rs years
! of service as mail carrier the first
lof May, and Messrs. Brennan and Gay
will have completed their quarter CEN
fury of service in September.
OF those who are missing in the
group, one has passed to the Great Be-
You'd, but the other two are still liv-
ing. although they have abandoned
the calling of mail carriers and are
now following other pursuits in life.

AS each yacht crosses the starting
line one of the balls will be partly
lowered, the red ball for the Def

If one of the balls is not lowered IL
will indicate that the yacht 1T rep

In the Long Island Sound series,
June ,, 3 and 4, the preparatory sig
nal will be given at noon, and the
starting line will be established from
a point off the westerly end of Great

10, II and Il, will start from off
the Ambrose Channel light vessel,

quarter to II o'clock.
In the Newport series the prepare
tory signal will be given at half
past eleven o'clock and the starting
mark will be set four miles to the
southeastward of the Brenton Reef

1t is expected that an unusually
large number of steam and power
yachts will be present at a majority
of the races in which the cup defence
contenders compete.

GLIDING Water street. And it takes one
carriers time for the delivey of the

The members of the present carrier

the people of Augusta are fully aware.
The smaller picture at the left, like
the larger one, speaks for itself. The
elder Brennan, Thomas, wears the
same serene expression which is char
acteristic of him. although it may
easily be imagined that the smile
which is lurking around the corners of
his mouth is due to the presence of
the particular package Of male which
fills the bag at his side. The youngster
in the bag is his. son Francis, now
carrier himself. The young man was
at the time the picture was taken, ev-

the life of a mail carrier, and that he
was pleased with it, even then, is
shown by the smile which illumines
his baby countenanee.

Washington, May 25.-The matter of
lobster culture on the Maine coast
was this week again brought to the at
tention of the bureau of fisheries in
Washington by objections from fish
ermen received through Representa-
tive MeGillicuddy. to the course now
pursued by the government.
The fishermen still think the new
methods employed regarding the dis
position of seed Holsters will work
harm to the industry in Maine, while
the federal officials believe it will help
rather than injure lobster culture. The
controversy is over the purchase of
eggs instead of Holsters by the govern
ment and placing female Holsters on
the market after having been stripped
of eggs. The bureau claims that the
marketing of the few thousand lob
sters after the eggs have been taken
for Matching purposes is entirely prop
Ell and in a letter to Mr.. McGillicuddy
Commissioner Smith of the bureau of
fisheries is of the opinion that the
lobster men do not fully understand
the new proposition and are holding
fast TO the old idea simply because
they do not appreciate that new and
scientific methods as outlined by the
department will be of great benefit to
the State. He expressed the hope that
a better understanding might soon be
reached. DIR. Smith has conferred with
Mr. McGillicuddy regarding the COM
plants as vsiced in letters from Au-
gustus A. Percy of Bath and Charles
A. Fossett of Boothbay Harbor and
written Mr.. McGillicuddy letter re-
garding the matter which says in
part:
Dr.. Smiths Letter
THE position taken by Mr.. Fossett In.
dicates either lack of appreciation Of
the efforts of the federal government in
behalf of the lobster industry or fail
ure to understand the conditions ane

from his position as carrier, known
to almost everybody in his home town
and vicinity as a baseball and pole
player, was on the carrier force for
about four years. At the breaking out
of the Spanish-American War he en-
listed in the Signal Corps and went
with that organization to Cuba, never
to return to his home. On returning

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All

New York, May 25.-various conflicting
conditions served to keep the stock mar

these were the general limitations from
Washington that the government con-
templates further investigations into the
management of certain large railway
systems, as well as indications that the
administration purposes carrying out its
so-called antitrust program during the
present session of Congress. Misgivings
as to the progress of Mexican mediation
and additional gold exports to Paris were
contributing factors.
