ABBOTT SIGNED UP
Catcher on Last Years Augusta Nine
Signs for Coming Season

Local baseball fans will be interested
to learn that Arthur w. Abbott of
Portland. catcher for the Augusta team
last year in the Trolley League, has
signed with the Augusta club for the
coming season, which will probably
begin about the middle of June.
Waterville is getting in touch with
the baseball situation and there is a
possibility that a team representing
that city will enter the league. One of
the local fans in speaking Of the mat
ter Wednesday stated that he would
like to see a five-team league as it
would give four visiting teams chance
to play in the city. thus increasing
the interest. In case any Of the teams
in the league last year decide not TO
enter this year Waterville will have a
chance to put a team in a four-team
league.
A meeting will be held next week at
which time these matters will be de-
cided.

Wednesday Morning Fire
at % Weston Street
Damages Residence Of Mrs. Jennie
Faulkner $500 or $500

The firemen received an early call
Wednesday morning on account of the
discovery Of brisk blaze in the cot
tage house at 20 Weston street owned
by d. F. Mooers and occupied by Mrs.
Jennie Faulkner. Hose responded to
a still alarm at about 3.45 but Chief
Engineer Hunt soon finding that from
the nature Of the blaze it could not be
handled with a stream from the chemi-
cal tank on the hose wagon, sent a
man to box So, at the corner Of Court
and Chapel streets and an alarm was
pulled in at 3.55 which called out Hook
G. Ladder No. / and Hose 2.
The fire was found to be in closet
or blind attic on the second floor of
the house and was making good prog
ress when the f1remen were called. 1t
worked it's way out through the wall Of
the house on the second floor and then
up through the roof, and that part Of
the main house was practically de-
stroyed before the blaze was under
control. The location of the fire in the
closet made it difficult to reach and
the men did good work in saving as
much Of the house as they did. The
all-out sounded at 4.35.
So far as has been learned the cause
of the fire is unknown. 1t is said that
no one had been in the room where
the fire started for two weeks, and the
only explanation that has been offered
is that it may have been due to rub
bish or something of that kind in the
closet where it started. The estimated
loss on account Of the fire Is $500 or
$500. that on the house being covered
by insurance in the Macomber, Farr
&; Written agency, while the loss OF
the furniture is covered by insurance
in the c. E Downing agency.

William Hodge at The Opera House
Wednesday, April 26, in "Fixine
Sister"

William Hodge at The Opera House
Wednesday, April 26, in "Fixing
Sister"
William Hodge, who Is starring in
his latest success, Fixing Sister," in
which he will play an engagement at
the Opera house on Wednesday evening,
April 26, does not believe that the
present great conflict raging in Europe
is going to influence the stage of this
country. This is contrary to the belief
held by many of the prominent Ameri-
can producers who are displaying the
greatest caution in the selection of
their plays. They are holding back
until they feel the pulse Of the thea
tre-going public.
II think the great European conflict
will have a tendency to inspire an av-
alanche of war plays in this country,
as some Of my associates in the thea
tire are inclined to believe. We are
a peace-loving people, and we have
enough Of war exploitation in the cab
led war news from the battle-scarred
trenches. We are quite content to seek
relief from the sordid newspaper &C
counts Of killed and wounded, in the
lighter and happier diversion of the
theatre.
Someone has suggested to me that
We will enter into an era Of American
ism behind the footlights. l do not
agree with this at all. There will al
ways be a demand for plays whose 10
Gale is in other countries. We will al
ways find appeal in the smart drawing
rooms of European aristocracy, where
we can meet on intimate terms the til
tied personages. The day of really,
truly, dyed in-the-w American plays
with American characters is yet far,
far away. That is, as an exclusive out
put although I have always found that
the theatregoing public of this country
is most appreciative of my humble Of
ferings of typical American characters,
And their appreciation has always been
a source Of great qualification to me-"
