wou!d suggest that during court tho
members talk and write the snhjoct
up, and endeavor to raise the MEM
bership to the minimum at least. No
undertaking can prosper when tho
members are lukewarm and inactive,

themselves. Messrs Miller and Sex.

There were tw 20 meetings of the Children'e
Christmas Club on Saturday. In the evening
100 new members were added and contribu-
tons were received from the children. At the
afternoon meeting there were addresses by
Miss Sargent and Judge Goddard which great
ly interested the large audience of children.
Miss Sargent read letters from Mankato and
Washington saying that similar clubs had been
formed in these places, and that the President
was much interested in the Washington club
of which his daughter is a member. The
children by vote requested Miss Sargent to
send the clubs greetings to the new organiza-
tions. Judge Goddard gave due credit to Miss
Sargent fol- originating the club and spoke
pleasantly of his own recollections of Christ
mas when he was boy, at which time the day
was not SO much regarded as now He said also
that in 1885, Judge Smith of Bath and others
presented bill to our legislature asking that
Christmas be made a holiday. He was chair
man Of the committee before whom the bill
came and the vote being declared tie, he
himself had the honor of deciding the fate of
the measure in the affirmative and consequent
ly is entitled to the credit of making, the day
legal festival in this State Mrs. L. M. N. Stew
ems is chairman, and Charles f. johnson,
secretary of the committee on invitation, and
of the clothing department Mrs. Henry Tay-
lor is chairman and Mrs Fallon secretary
Neither tickets to the festival nor clothing
will be given out except for children whose
name and residence have been given to the
secretary for record. Persons wishing ticket
to give away must conform to this rule.
All members of the club we're directed to
consult Wednesdays papers and follow the di-
rections fromlthe executive committee they
would find there.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
NOTES..


The tickets for the concert by the Temple
Quartette are now ready. The advertisement
of Lawrence Barrett's night at the Portland
Theater appears to-day.
Mr.. Harry Mann has succeeded Mr.. Edward
Q. SWEET. of this city, as manager of M. B.
Curtis "Saml of Posen" company. Mr.. Frank
d. Hall, lately with Frank Mayo, will go in
advance.
The rumor that Kate Claxton and her hus-
band, Mr.. Stevenson, were about to lease the
Third Avenue Theatre in New York from Mr..
and Mrs Mckee Rankin is denied, but they
want to built theatre in that city of the same
size and arrangements, and are looking for an
available site on Eighth avenue.
The dramatic papers say: "Mr. Frank Curtis
has resigned the management of Mckee
Rankin's theatre in New York, and Mr.. Fred
Maeder has succeeded him in the position.
The London World says of Mary Anderson:
when the curtain falls at length on her final
performance, we do not doubt that the verdict
of the play going public will be.that no actress
more graceful or accomplished or with truer
artistic instinct, has ever tr1dden, within liv-
ing memory, the boards Of London theater"
