Sunday Band Concerts.

To The Editor of the Press.
Probably very few of those persons no
signed the large petition to the City Council
In favor of band concerts on the Sabbath
(and undoubtedly many of whom are minors
or non taxpayers.) were not aware that the
appropriation of any money for such pur-
pose from the city treasury would be an
illegal act which would tend to vitiate the
city tax, hence any citizen taxpayer so dis
posed would have right to contest the pay
ment of his tax on the ground of its illegality.
The appropriation of money by the City
Council for the Fourth of July celebrations
IS OF itself illegal, but Is submitted to, solely
by the sufferance or acquiescence of the
people.
When President Polk visited this city on
the Fourth of July, 1S47, petition was pre-
sented to the City Council to appropriate
money to provide for his reception and enter
tainment, but the Council declined making
any appropriation for the purpose on the
ground Of its illegality, consequently a
private subscription of several hundred dol
lars was obtained among the citizens to de-
fray the expense. A great "hue and cry"
was made and public meeting was called
for, denouncing the city government for its
peanut" action so called.
1t is only matter of surprise to many
that the members of the City Council should
have overlooked the fact of its Illegally be-
fore making any arrangement for the ex-
penditure of mony from the treasury, for
such purpose, especially on the LORDS
day." merely for the purpose Of pleasure
and qualification of those who may prefer
that the Sabbath shall be holiday or day
for recreation rather than day of rest for
man and beast. l..
Tour correspondent is in error regarding
Fourth of July celebration. The city
charter expressly authorizes the City Coun-
ell to appropriate money for that purpose
and "f0r other public ceiebrations.'1

PATRIARcHs FROM THREE STATES

SoIourn at Old Orchard.

Gen. o. b. Written announces that Old

holding the grand field day of the Northern
division of Patriarchs Militant. embracing
Maine. New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
This grand gathering of the chevallers Will
occur September LIST, I'd and Sd, and will
without doubt be the biggest event in its
line ever held in this state.
Cards have been sent out from division
headquarters asking the preference OF the
various cantons as to the place where the
field days should be held and also asking
how many men each canton would probably
turn out and the replies received indicate
Old.Orchard as the favorite place by big
majority, nearly all the New Hampshire and
Massachusetts cantons as we'll as those Oh
southern Maine, expressing preference for
this place. Already pledges from different
cantons insure an attendance OF 100
chevaliers and there are still many to be
heard from, none of the cantons OF the
eastern part of the state having been heard
from. The outlook is that there Will be
from 1000 to 1900 and very likely even more
chevaliers present and with the outsiders
