THE THEODORE THOMAS CONCERT. Twice
only has Theodore Thomas and his wonderful
orchestra visited Portland, but they have SO en-
grated themselves upon the popular affection
that the announcement of third visit will
create the most lively anticipations of pleasure
among those who have heretofore enjoyed their
charming music. The verdict of the whole
people of America has been unanimous in their
favor, and Mr. Thomas, approaching these
tokens of esteem, has labored constantly to
augment and improve the strength and charac-
ter of the orchestra, and bring it up to perfec-
ton, if possible. The repertoire, naturally, has
been extended, and embraces almost the whole
scope Of musical literature, from the most ele-
waited and classic compositions to the hOmely
and familiar airs in common use-paying trib-
ute to all which is good, whether of old or new
schools, and embracing all styles, he and has thus
gained the high and unique position of being
the creator and conductor of the best and most
versatile orchestra in the world As now Or
ganized it consists of
Twenty yiolins, led by Mr.. B. Mstemann,
Five Niolas, One Como Anglais,
Five ViOloncelloS Two Clarionettes
Five Double Basses, Two Bassoons
one Harp, Four French Horns
One Plccoio, Two Trumpets,
Two FLUTES, Three Trombones
Two Oboes, One Tuba
hett Drums, Side Drum, Bass Drum, Sc.
Mdlle Marie Krebs, the distinguished plan
list, who is not yet twenty years of age, is pro-
nounced by the press to be undoubtedly one of
the most brilliant pianists in the world. Her
repertoire is very large, and her power of men,
DRY ranks with that of Bulow and Tausig. She
plays all the well known concertos by the great
masters, the fugues by Bach and others, the
bravura pieces by Lszt, Raft, Rubinstein, &C.,
the poetic effusions by Chopin and Schumann
from memory. Both her technical power and
her musical understanding have been the theme
of the most appreciative comments of the great
critics of the canitalS of Enrono

the case of Joseph Tuenteret and Others versus
Myra Clark Gaines. The opinion is lengthy. 1t
declares that Mrs. Gaines is not legitimate
child of Daniel Clark, nor has universal lega-
tee; therefore, it is ordered that the will of
1913, purporting to be the will of Daniel Clark,
probated in 1855, be revoked and declared in
valid and the probate thereof annulled. Mrs.
Gaines relied mainly upon this will in her
claims.

A PLEASANT Commemorative children OF
the late Smith Smaller, Esq.,, of Haddam, Con-
necticut, of which our respected citizen Rev.
DIR. Smaller is one had family gathering at
the old mansion in Haddam on Thanksgiving
Day. This mansion and farm has been in the
Smaller family for a century or more, having
been occupied by the grandparents of the pres
entfamily. The father and mother of this family
are dead, but their eight children all survive,
not one having died. There are four brothers
and four sisters.
On the decease of the mother the children
agreed that the Oldest son, who is unmarried,
shall occupy the farm, but should never sell il
out of the family. 1t is forty-two years since
the children have all met together At one
time three of the sons were pastors of churches
in Roxbury, Brookline and Dorchester and the
fourth was teacher in the Brooklyn High
School, Now they reside in four different
States. The daughters all married in their ma
tive town.
1t was a pleasant and interesting occasion.
They were all there except the parents. Such
long period had elapsed since the children
had all gathered together under the paternal
roof, that the heart of each one swelled with
emotions of gratitude to God for His goodness
in sparing and bringing them together, and the
day was delightfully."- spent. 1t was truly a
Thanksgiving Day to this family.
