The work of coating the city streets

is now well along and will be COM
pleted this week. The men finished
work Wednesday noon on Western

oughfare from Sewall street to the top
of the hill opposite the residence Of
Hon. w. H. Gannett. the work done in
that locality being a little different
from that further down the avenue.
The oil used was heavier and was COW
cred with a coating of pea rock, the
whole forming binder, which makes
a fine piece of roadway and free OF
dust. The crew and the oil truck
were working on Bangor and Stone
streets Thursday, and after that is
finished the only work remaining to be
done in the way Of oiling Is Elm street
and a portion of Commercial street.
The sentiment in regard to oiling the
streets is reported by Commissioner
Trask to be changing, and in places
where the work has been completed
for three or four days the people seem
to think that 1t is a good thing.

DR.. Sturgis Roughly
Used by Patient at
the State Hospital

DR.. Karl B. Sturgis, one of the as
sistant superintendent at the Au-
gusta State hospital, was assaulted
late Wednesday afternoon by one of
the patients at that institution, being
thrown down and beaten, and had it
not been for the timely assistance by
one of the employees of the hospital his
injuries might have proved of a very
serious nature.
DR.. Sturgis was making the rounds
of the Burleigh pavilion. which build
ing was formerly the storehouse of the
old Kennebec arsenal, at about b
o'clock in the afternoon, and was at
that time in the kitchen engaged in
conversation with a patient named
Bert Trask of Peru. who had for sew
eral years been employed in the
kitchen as a helper.
The two men were standing togeth-
err, Trask with one hand on DR.. Stur-
gis' shoulder, and were conversing in
the most friendly manner. when sud
denly Trask threw DR.. Sturgis to the
floor and began hammering him with
his fists backing both eyes and cut
ting one ear. Benjamin Clark. cook at
the pavilion. hurried to DR.. Sturgis as
sistance and rescued him from the at
tacks of the Infatuated patient before
further injuries than those mentioned
were inflicted. DR. Sturgis' injuries
were attended to and yesterday except
for the discoloration about his face he
appeared but little the worse for his
unpleasant experience.
Supt, Tyson promptly Investigated
the attack upon his assistant and
found that Trask was evidently Suf-
fering from a sudden hallucination
when he made the assault. In con-
versation with Supt. Tyson, Trask said
that the man whom he assaulted was
not Dr. Sturgis but another man who
was masquerading under his name,
and was keeping him (Trask) in the
hospital

"Quo Vadjs,"

line moment OIL IUOSI genuine
power and suspense in George Kleine's
truly wonderful photo-drama Quo
Vadis" which Is to be presented at the
Colonial Theatre, Monday afternoon and
evening. May Is. occurs in the third act
or seventh reel, when the Christians are
about to be sacrificed for their alleged
crime of the burning of Rome
The scene shows the arena of the ia
nous Coliseum-on all sides are the great
tiers of seats filled with the patricians
and citizens of Rome out for holiday,
eager to witness the chariot races, the
gladiator combats, the torture of the
Christians and other features devised by
the cruel heart of Nero for their pleas
ure and sport. In the foreground is
trap door with a huge chain which leads
outside of the frame of the picture. Far
off the little group of Christians kneel
upon the sands. praying and stricken
with terror The pitiless soldiers who
have driven them into the arena from
their cells move off to places of safety.
Nero leans over the high balustrade Of
the Imperial box gloating at their suf-
fering.
Then the trap door begins to rise.
Everybody knows what is about to
happen The first lion who slips out OF
the opening is no surprise, yet there is
a thrill that passes over the audience,
and a shudder. and the moment is full
of suspense. More lions follow, many
lions, all lean and hungry looking brutes.
The scene shifts TO close view of the
kneeling Christians The women clasp
their children to their breast and raise
their eyes in supplication to Heaven.
The lions approach them. coming faster
and faster. The scene shifts again to the
Imperial box. Nero revels in the specta-
Gle and urges his guests to lose no de-
tail Petronius, the arbiter of fashion,
looks in helpless disgust. the lovelorn
Vinitius awaits in trembling fear the
fate of his beloved Lygia; the treacher-
Gus Chic revolts at the outcome of his
own villainy and faints at the sight, and
the thousands of citizens and mobiles look
on with bated breath.
No drama in the world ever compre-
hended such intense dramatic moments

minds of this later generation why
