THE M. L. A. COURSE 1t is a matter OF
just pride that the Mercantile Library Asso-
citation can announce their lecture season Of
1901 with the beading "Twenty first series. !"
For twenty-one years our lyoung business
men have labnred tor the amusement and in
struction Of our citizens while they were at
the same time gathering fund which should
assist them in adding valuable books to their
library and provide them with comfortable
rooms where they could meet each other and
make acquaintance and even Strong friend
ships, and where, at the same time, subjects
could be Introduced for debate, thus eulight-
ening their members upon the great topics of
the day and fitting them for any position to
which they might be called. In these days
when young men are too apt TO think they
must begin where their employers and fathers
left off, and where the knowledge of how to
use wealth is not SO much desired as the &C.
QUESTION of it; when this same acquisition is
almost next to impossible for them since they
spend as they go-the man with thousand a
year thinking he must keep pace with the
owners OF large property-it is more especially
pleasing to see the efforts made by an associa-
ton like the Mercantile to keep up the interest
in its organization and therefore our citizens
who have the interest of their city and the
young men who make the city at heart to lib.
orally patronize the present course as they
have dore those If former years.
What money value can be placed upon the
incalculable benefits derived from a lecture by
Geo. W. Curtis? What power emanates
from the lips of John B. Cough? What les
sous migratory are derived from Geo. Vanden-
hoffG What an hour of fun to be passed with
De Cordsya? Finally, what delicious music
WILDE afforded by the Weber Quartette Club,
and the Misses Beebe and Bull, the concert
being under the direction of our own Kotz-
SEMINAR?

The THOMAS CoNcERTs.-This morning at
nine o'clock, the sale of reserved seats will
commence at Stockbridge's, 156 Exchange St.,
for the Thomas concerts. The programmes
for the two evenings are printed in the adver-
tisemeut and will commend themselves at once
to all lovers of the best CO rposers. The music
is varied 10 character from the weird compo-
sition Of Wagner to the delightful dance music
OF Strauss. The grand harmones of Beethoven
are not wanting nor the delicious pianissimios
of Buergel as displayed in his "Slumber
Song" while Miss Mehlig will make her debut
before Portland audience in Chopin and
Liszt, and as the piano accompanies to the
Be; hoven Choral Fantasia. Among the addi-
tional instruments that will be introduced by
Mr.. Thomas is the harp.
Miss Mehlig, who makes her first appear
ance in Portland, is but twenty-five years of
age. At the age of sixteen she left the Conser-
vatorie of Stuttgart, her native city, to begin
her career in the Gewandhaus concerts at
L-ipzig in January, 1865, whore her remarka-
bic talents were at orce acknowledged. She
thence visited all the German cities and Lon
don, playing at the old and new Philharmonic
Concerts, the Monday Popular, and the Crys-
tai Palace concerts, and Liszt became so inter-
ested in her that he invited her to visit him at
Weimar where they played together daily. A
critic who has heard every pianist Of note ex.
cept Liszt, Rubinstein and Tausig says that he
has never heard any better playing if in the
whole, as good. This is the highest praise.

AN OLD RAILROAD Accommodating
the death of Mrs. Sarah D. Palfrey, who died
at Cambridgeport last Saturday, recalls to
mind the sad accident BY which her husband
lost his life, nineteen years ago. He was an
engineer on the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth
railroad, and was running his freight train to
this city, one night, when he came to place
where a cuvert had been carried away by
freshet, and of which circumstance he had no
kno wledge. His engine plunged into the
chasm and he was ms antlv killed. No other
person on the train was injured.
