ADJUSTMENTS
"Nobody Home"

The musical comedy, Nobody Home
waspresented Friday afternoon and eve.
ming at the Augusta Opera house by
Bob OFT and his company and was well
received by audiences that packed the
house to the doors. This lively little
farce contained numberless original sit.
uations and its enactment and staging
left nothing to be desired.
joyful Bob OFT kept the audience in
good humors-as he always does-and he
made big hit in the character, "Heinx
Fingger." the detective. The other char.
acters were presented in a fine manner
by the members Of Mr.. Otis company
During the action Of the play excellent
music was furnished by the chorus OF
prettily costrmed girls. Among the
numbers rendered were: Dancing the

One Of the features Of the program
was dance speciality executed by Miss

were given much applause.

The modern element is represented
by conspicuous leaders Of all the
political groups of the country. Thus
the new coalition brings together
Frances elder and younger statesmen,
and in personnel represents all the
history Of modern. France since the
fall Of Napoleon III. The new body
also is notable in having the popular
military leader, Gen. Gallieni. at the
head Of the war Office and Rear Ad-
miral Lacase as head Of the ministry
of marine, both Of them replacing CIV
ilians.
The extent Of the coalition is shown
by the following representations from
the various parties:
The Radical party is represented by
M. Bourgeois. a former. premier, M.
Combes, former premier, and Rene
Renoult one of the foremost parlia-
mentary leaders Of the Radicals.
The Republican Socialists have as
Prof. Painleve.
The Socialist group Is represented
by Jules Guesde, who has been the
Socialist head since the death of Jean
Leon Jaures and by Marcel Sembat
and Albert Thomas, prominent Social
list leaders.
The Democratic Left has members
CARMEL Guisthau and Joseph Thierry
while the Radical Left has Etienne
Clementel as it's representative. The
Royalsts and Clerical element is rep
resented by Denys Cochin.
This embraces all the parties and
groups in Parliament which for years
have been arrayed against each 9TH
err. The designation Of Jules Cambon,
former ambassador at Washington.
Madrid and Berlin, as secretary gen.
eral to the minister of foreign affairs,
is another innovation in the new cabi-
net, as it places an ambassador OF
wide experience for the first time in
responsible direction of foreign ques-

The organization Of the new cabinet
i was rapidly accomplished during the

Orchard Slope farm in Winthrop took
rels Of russets from the State of
Maine. In another competition
prize of SIS was offered for the best
barrel Of russets grown in New Eng
land and they also won this. At this
writing there are several other COM
petitions on plates with smaller prizes
at stake that they have not heard
from -
Mr.. Clement and Mr.. Taylor have
good reason to be little bit more
than pleased at the showing their fruit
has made in Boston this year. When
they purchased the farm and orchards
from which they are now winning
prizes a great many people consid-
cred the old trees past the bearing
stage and thought 1t a poor invest
ment as many of the trees looked al
most dead. But with a great deal Of
hard work and some brains and study
mixed in they have succeeded in rails
ing each season hundreds of barrels
of fine apples from these same trees.
Their apples are always the first that
the apple shippers try to buy. A great
deal of experimental work has been
carried on and in one section of the
orchard the Maine State experiment
station has plot.
The State of Maine fruit show is to
be held next week in Portland, where
a prize of $40 will be UP for the best
exhibit. There is also the SIS cup Of
fered by the M. c. r. R. Co. for the
best exhibit Of apples to become the
property of the grower who wins at
this show for three consecutive years.
All the friends of Clement and Tay-
lor wish them as good success as they
had in Boston.

The Chinese government. itself has
not asked for the views Of the United
States and officially nothing has been
said here on the subject. 1t Is KNOWN
however, that privately the hope is
entertained in Washington that the
change will not be made. This Is bas-
ed not on the natural sympathy for the
Republican form of government, out
also on the belief that the change
might affect the political equilibrium
Of the Far East at this time. The fact
that President Yuan Shi Kai was elect
ed for term of 10 years and Is IN
control of the situation appears to
those conversant with Far Eastern al
fairs to make any change at present
unnecessary and ill timed.
American Minister Reinsch has re-
ported from Pekin that the Japanese
and British governments seemed TO
be opposed to the change.

sestion on behalf Of Japan that the
change be delayed for a time at least.
