tertainment was opened by instrumental selec-
tions from Martha, performed in pure CON
scientious style by Miss Mary Mariner, who
well set forth the ornamented gems of Flo
lows pretty opera. Mr.. A. f. Lewis then fol
lowed with Graham's ballard, Farewell, .
fairly well suited to his pleasing tenor voice
The pretty melody of "Chanson Russo" fol
piano was rendered tastefully by Miss Grace
Warren, succeeded by pleasant duet by Mr.
Powers and Mrs. G. W. Pike. 'Di Provenza
il mar, il suol" of La Traviata, as sung by Mr.
Albert P. Setback, ELECTED an encore, in re.
Spouse to which Gounod's beautiful religious
piece, "There is green hill far away" was
finely sung. OF the instrumental Dnet-March
Dext given it may be said that the piece is one
OF Schubert's many gems, and was presented
in such ga manner by Misses Mariner and
Hastings as to deserve and gain hearty ap-
plause and give enjoyment. The first part OF
the programme was terminated by Miss Hattie
A. Pike, whose smooth, sweet voice gave much
satisfaction in the song, ely forth o gentle
dove which gained an encore Part III con-

ceiyed. A pretty vocal duet by Miss Pike
and Mr.. Lewis and male quartette, sSweet
and low" completed the programme The
audience seemed well satisfied with the per.
formances in general. The amount of good
musical talent in Fryeburg at least during the
summer is quite remarkable, and the intelli.
gent appearance of the audience who thor
oughly filled the hall, furnished reason why
it should be SO we'll appreciated.

The men at Lake Sebago proved to be

certained that one McGinness, whose term of
imprisonment expired Monday, and who came
originally from Boston, had been trying to
borrow money from different parties since, al
though his family sent him $40 to take him
home, and it is thought that McGinness bor-
rowed the money so as to help Richmond and
Yeaton when they had made their escape.
This is, however, all conjecture.

to pay u little attention to the front side of the
city? At the dock on the east side of Union
wharf today, at low tide, the stencil was ter
rible. Nothing at the Back Bay would COM
pare with the foul odors arising from this most
filthy of places. Is there no help for it, or
must people whose business compel them to
be near this place still continue to breathe the
poison? W.

The telephone Exchange in this city, run

rons who wish to converse. Then there are
two lady operators, who receive the requests of
subscribers and answer their questions. Fully
1900 messages day are received, and there
are $50 wires. The company, through Mr.. c.
Il. Gardner, the general manager, have built
and equipped a special line, connecting the
Telephone Exchanges of Portland, Saco and
