PoIrs-..The Old Homestead"

The most celebrated of American plays.
The Old Homestead" will celebrate its
thirtieth anniversary at Polls Christmas
week
The initial presentation of the engage
ment OF James ThatcheI's big production
of Denman Thompson's classic will take
place next Sunday night and there will
be daily matinees throughout the week
beginning of course, with the matinee
Christmas Day.
1t was felt that the International Cir
cult could present no more pleasing holi-
day attraction than this celebrated classic
that has weathered the theatrical storms
of thirty years. 1t makes a special ap-
peal with it's natural sentiment, it's pure
intent and it's generally natural touches
leavened with clean and wholesome COM
cdy that is quite as appropriate today
as when the play was first produced
by Denman Thompson
General Manager James Thatcher. of
the Poll interests, has gathered together
an excellent cast for this production and
has been spe tally fortunate in the double
male quartet composed Of church singers
Of experience.
The seat sale for The Old Homestead
has opened at the Poll box office for both
the daily matinee and evening perform
ances. There is every indication of a
wonderfully successful engagement.

SPRAGUE COMPANY
TO LEAVE ORANGE
To Move to Fitchburg on Account of
Scarcity of Help - Orders
Are Refused.

ORANGE, Mass, May 23.-The F
II. Sprague company, maker of chill
dreh s garments, announced yesterday
that it would move the factory from
Orange to Fitelburg, the change to
take effect in August. This move is
made because the company is unable
to secure sufficient women help for the
last increasing business, though every
effort has been made to relieve the
congestion which has been accumuIat
ing during the past five years.
1t means that the main office and
factory will be located in Fitchburg
after Aug /, and that the Orange fac
tory, which is of sufficient size to en-
pIoy 400 hands, will be closed. AL
ready building of similar propor-
1ons is being fitted for the occupancy
IN tltchburg. AT present the companr
employs about $50, most Of whom are
women operators, and there is also a
plant in Turner's Falls employing
about 60.
The Turner's Falls plant has been
bought, and the working force will be
increased as rapidly as possible. Since
Jan. / the company estimates it has
turned down orders aggregating $50. 900
because of a scarcity in help, and tae
business turned down in the past FIVE
years is estimated at about $4,000
The company is assured that this
difficulty will be removed in Fitch
burg, where labor is mora plentiful.
The overhead expenses there Will be no
greater than in Orange, and the com
pany hopes to double the output.

Surprised Germans by Their

TEUTONS SUFFERED
ENORMOUS LOSSES
The French Success Is Considered by
Critics to Have Taken the Whole
German Line at Verdun-Forccd to
Yield at Point of Bayonet.

PARIS, May 23.-Fighting continued
with extreme violence on both banks OF
the Meuse along the Verdun front during
the whole night. Two German counter at
tacks on the French positions on Hill No.
30l failed completely, the war office an
nounced this afternoon. The French made
further gains within Fort Douamont. The
Germans now hold only small angle in
the northeastern corner of the fort. The
battle around Hill No 304 was especially
severe. In attacking the French positions
on the west side of the hill the Germans
used liquid gas, the official statement says.
and penetrated one of the French trenches
but were dislodged at once.
On the east side of the hill the Germans
attacked, after intense artillery prepara-
tions, but were not permitted to reach the
French line.
The principal fighting east of the Meuse
was in the sector between Thiamont and
Douamont. The Germans attacked in
mass formation and are said to have snf-
Tered enormous losses. They succeeded in
re-occupying one of the trenches north of
Thiamont farms which had been captured
by the French.
The French victory is received with
great elation by the press and the public
the more so on account of the effect it is
expected to have on neutral opinion.
The French commander at Verdun took
advantage of the fact that the Germans
recently have beer concentrating all their
attention on Dead Mans hill on the other
side of the river and assembled large
amount Of artillery for the attack on the
Douamont sector.
On Sunday the French began a heavy ar
tillery attack on Fort Douamont and ada
cent positions. The hour fixed for the in
tantry assault was 4.3O p m yesterday
When the moment came the French artil-
lcry, which had been carefully selected
and trained began the advance The Ger
ann resistance at some points was stub
born. In places the French had to force
back the German infantry inch by inch,
at the point of the bayonet
The leading French contingent reached
Fort Douamont at O'Clock They killed
the Germans who resisted As soon as
they recovered from their surprise the
Germans launched a number of fierce coun-
ter attacks, but all failed and by 10 p. IN
preparations had been completed to deal
with the serious efforts the Germans are
expected to make to re-capturc the lost
positions. The French success is consid-
cred by military critics here to have taken
the whole German line at Nerdun.

TOBACCO BARN IN
HINSDALE BURNED
Fire from Unknown Cause Results in
$1,000 Loss-Flames Kept from
Spreading to Nearby Woods.
(Secial to The Reformer.)
HINSDALE, y. H. Nav 22


The fire alarm was sounded about
$50 o'clock last evening for a fire
IN the tobacco barn owned by joseph
lZaboroutny and located on the hill
east of his house on the NorthfeId
road
The fire was discovered bv Mrs. "a
boroutny, who noticed the reflection an
the fields about the house. and the
alarm was teiephoned to the village
by Mrs. Willis d. Stearns. The flames
had gained such headway that moth
ing could be done to save the build
ing, although a large number of fire
men were hurried to the scene in au-
tomohlles, generously offered for use
by their owners. However the flames
were kept from spreading to the near
by woods.
The building, which was 120 feet bv
~ feet, was totally destroyed. 1t was
empty, except for two small cuitiva-
tors stored there. The loss is esti-
mated at about 81 500, and there was
$500 insurance.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
as no one had been working in that
locality during the day and the barn
was located too far from the railroad.
it is thought, to have been set by
spark from q passing locomotive. The

known Davis place.
