at the residence of Hon. Thomas Winship at
Wakefield, Mass, OF Brighs's disease of the
kidneys. For % years he was popular con-
ductor upon the Boston and Maine Railroad,

viously the first station agent at Wakefield
and sold the first ticket upon the road from
that town ia 1916. He was obliged to resign
his position as conductor several years ago on
account of failing health, since which time he
has resided in Boston. Daring the great strike
however, such was his interest in the road
that he left his retirement and mounted and
run one of the engines SO suddenly left by its
engineer. His genial face will be missed by a
host of friends, to whom he had endeared
himself by his cheerful companionship and
many noble traits of mind and heart. He was

Harry Brown.

Mr.. Harry Brown has returned from bis
summering among the hills and along thescosst
with good deal to show as results OF the sea-
sons work. The last three weeks were passed
at the Cape Cottage and he has numerous pic
lures representing pretty bits of that shore;
quiet coves, vistas of the summer sea, and
headlands and beaches where is wildly depict
ed the tumult of wave and wind. Centrasted
with these are lovely glimpses of woodland
and mountain scenery; and the broad stretches
of Connay's intervaes. He will have his stu
dio in order for the reception of visitors and
get down TO hard work in about a week, with
orders shead to keep him busy for some time
to come. Mr.. Brown speaking of recent trip
of his on the Portland an 1 Ogdensburg said he
did not recall a season when the autumnal fol-
iage approached the beauty of the present.
The trees he noticed were simply clusters of
gorgeous and varied color. This he attributes
to the upusuyl fullness and richness of their
foliage in the early part of the summer.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
e1LMoRR's BAND ooNcERr.

GlLMOhE BAND CONChhI.
No lover of good music should miss the
grand concert to be given this evening by
Gilnore's celebrated band at Portland Theatre.
The following distinguished artists will take
part Miss Emma s. Howe, soprano; Mr.. Fl.
c. Bent, cornet; Mr.. r. w. Innes, trombone;
Signor Raffayolo, euphonium; Signor De Car
los, piccalo; Herr Stockight, clarionet; and
Gilmore's famous band comprising forty first
class instrumentalists of New York under the
personal direction of Mr.. P. s. Gilmore, origin
ator and general director of the great Boston
iubilees of 1869 and 1872. An exchange
speaking OF the selection melodies of Scot
land" has this to say:
Gin this selection there is "touch of ma
ture' that finds its way to all hearts. The
songs and melodies of love and war; the Reels
and Strathspeys, to which Kings and Queens
have danced. have so many historical associa-
tions of Bonnie Scotland" that, even when
tho most classical and cultivated musicians
hear these airs, ahey ask, eff, after all, the
melodies of the people are not thousand
times more touching and inspiring to ears in
general than the labored and scientific produc-
tions Of studied art?" When Gilmore's Band
played this selection in Edinboro, Glasgow
Dundee and Aberdeen, all Scotland-press and
pnblic-acknewledged that never before had
their own music sounded so beautiful and be-
witching. 1t was grand, indeed, to hear the
cheers of .Highlanders and Lowlanders when
the last note of "Auld Lang Syne'' fell upon
their ears. Amer. can audiences award the
selection as great admiration, aud frequently
nterlard its performance with applause.
