"There is always beginning to cru
sade and naturally there is beginning to
the Encore Crusade. No honest conductor
but must own that It Is vicious custom,
which has so grown upon our audiences
that It has become a nuisance. 1t is In an
artistic sense mot u compliment to those
who are asked to come out once more be-
fore the audience and sing or play little
more. IL spoils the good taste OF audiences
who are there to listen to the numbers set
down and chosen by the artist carefully per-
formed not to any other ditty he or she
may add. Encores are generally performed
In loose manner. They are utterly aud
entirely vicious in principle and should be

A Massachusetts Flood.

PiTTsFIED, Mass, April % "A
terrible accident has occurred at Ets,
Lee, resulting in large loss Of life
and much damage to property.
at O'Clock yesterday morning the
village of East Lee was inundated and
devastated by the breaking away of a
dam at Mud Pond reservoir, Mountain
Lake, about two and half miles from
the village.
The pond covered many acres OF
swamp and was increased from its
original limited size by extensive dams
built by club of manufacturers as a
storage place for water.
/ East Lee village, whose half dozen
paper mills are situated on the stream
received its first news of the accident
when the flood came pouring down the
y tstree,s, the water being from four to
: six feet deep, and bringing with 1t
!. trees, portions of houses, barns, fences,
& wagons and every form of movable
property. People fled to the slopes Ct
the valley, along which the torrent
: was pouring, and saw houses moved
9 and tcppled about like chips on river
!, The flood passed down E,st Lee and
went on down the road, destroying
! gardens, lawns and fences and movin!
= the smaller buildings. it had not tn
y power, however, to wreck utterly tn
IS larger houses, though the damage don
will amount to many thousands c
dollars.
< AS soon as possible the people wer
4 up the line of the flood toward tn
s, pond and found the river worse as the
in approached the starting point of tf
no torrent.
to Fortunately the track of the foo
ne was in a sparsely inhabited. countr
,er but what destruction there was for
as to do, in wrecking three or four hous
at along its ways, was thoroughly accon
sh. plished. Much stock, besides proper
his is lost, The explorers have alreat
no. found the bodies of six persons and
