The Coliseum.

No play of rural life seems to hit the
popular fancy any better than does
Uncle Dave Holeomb,' the play Of
fered by Avery Strong Stock Company
today at the Coliseum. Its humor and
tenderness, and its entire freedom
from the impossible features of the
average every day drama, have won
for it an enviable place on the stage or
today. The play has plenty of good
clean comedy, pathos, sensation, a few
thrills" and a strong dramatic stu
alton, all of which have been deftly
lntermingled by the cunning hand of
the dramatist, making 1t a play which
will hold the close attention of all
classes of theatre goers. 1t has no

REVENUE GUTTER SENECA
TO PATROL NORTH ATLANTIC.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 13.-Command-
ant Bertholf of the revenue cutter
service has ordered the Seneca to
patrol the North Atlantic from now
until June, when a relief ship will be
ordered to the service. This is on the
adoption of plan to seek safety for
steamships on the transatlantic lanes
which the steamers traverse. Icebergs
are drifting into the seas where they
form a serious menace to shipping ano
all reasonable efforts viii be made to
avoid another tragedy like that of the
loss of the Titanic.
This plan is the result of the agree
ment among the delegates of various
nations that met recently in London
to arrange a safety at sea service. All
nations engaged in this traffic will
contribute to the expense incurred.
A big berg quarter of a mile long
and $50 feet high was seen recently
and GROWERS, which are big bergs
that have broken up. are numerous,
Fields of drifting ice cakes are en-
countered in large areas and the as
sistance of the Seneca and the warn
ings she will be able to give by means
of wireless messages ought to result
in much good.
This cutter will cruise in this re-
gion continuously except for visits to
ports where supplies will be secured.
This service will be appreciated by
the crews and owners of the big
steamers coming to and going from
this port the remainder of the season.

Fear for Safety
OF Schooner.

Portland Me-. Feb. 13.-The Bath built
schooner Benjamin F. Poole, four masts,
is several days overdue on her trip from
Brunswick, Ga. bound for Baltimore.
and it is feared she has gone down with
all on board. Her delayed arrival is due,
shipping men agree, TO a rough expert
ence with the gale that has ragged at sea
the past week. She was built in 1886 and
is 1899 tons register. She is owned by
the Atlantic Shipping Co. of Stonington.
CT.
The Poole went ashore here 20 years
ago at Virginia Beach in Maryland and
was high and dry from spring until early
fall. 1t was felt that she would rot on
that spot but an attempt to float her
was successful and she has been a busy
coaster ever since.
