The people. Of Maine cannot Afford ta
hsye, and do not desire to have, the good
Old Pine Tree State take anything but a
ercdiia5le place at the Worlds C9lum-
9'an Exposition. "Thst or nothing is
the feeling which State pride prompts in
the hearts Of all ner citizens. There is
~ state in the Union whose people bear
her more loyal devotion.
II has now become apparent that the
terms Of the Maine legislative appro.
priation Limiting the amount aysIla5le for
building at Chicago to SO 1oo is calcu-
lAied "a "A serious handicap. S.
far as learned no state VIII undertake to
erect a building there at so small an
amount Of money-so that, unless our
ci6zens voluntarily come 70 the rescue.
Maine, which has the finest site on the
big fur grounds will have the cheapest
building. The granite men, the slate
men aud various manufactures have come
generously forward with oilers Of large
amount Of material. but ii will readily be
seen that when the freight charges are
paid u Chicago a ser.ou, inroad will have
aecn made upon tue amount available for
constructions After submitting mum
ber of plans to chief of construction
Durham, only to have them rejected,
the building committee have at length
secured one that has met with his sppro-
ggi, It Is u handsome plan, but consulta-
tlou with contractors show that the erect
on Of such a building will cost several
| thousand dollars more than the amount
At the disposal Of the committee. Prom
lnent gentlemen have expressed a will
lngness to assist privately in the work
rather than have these plans changed and
n inferior building erected. This has
suggested to the newspapers of Maine
he pan of making up the amount by d
POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION limiting subscrip-
lions TO one dollar each and from that
down to one cent SO that every man, wo.
man and child in the State may be able
without burden, to assist in this worthy
work. The last census showed over G6l :
900 people in Maine and if half of them
i would give but one cent each to this
worthy purpose Maine could have such a
building at the big fair a. would be an
object Of worthy pride to all our citizens.
The REPORTER will open the subscription
to morrow morning, and it hopes before
1t CLOSES to have all its readers represent
/ ed III il if the amount be not more than u
penny each.

SO long, perhaps. How out of place SYM
pathy would have been: but I'd have liked
to have rendered it then and there to the
idol of the opera Qoers fifteen years ago to
the earnest, honest. faithful man who hur-
ried away to lose himself in the crowd or
Broadway-to Italo ~Campanini.
Every man and woman who remembers
the great tenor at his best, and who had
stood at my side would have felt equally
umphs in all parts of the world. I remem-
Der his appearance in the Opera Real at
Madrid as Jose, when the final scene in
Carmen was given az never presented else
where. The parade in front Of the gate Of
the Plaza dc Toros was real. Fasquelo.
the bravest espado Of all Spain, was on the
stage out of special compliments to tho
great tenor, with tho Toledo napier in his
firm right hand that had slain a hundred
La Manchan bulls. It was a great specta-
Gle and heightened the nights function by
half an hour.
Let me see if 7 can give the reader a Pic
ture Of the scene. In the real fight the
procession of the combatants takes place
in the arena. With that single change the
incidents followed each other just as they
did at the great ampithenter at the gate
os Alcala. Il is no exaggeration to say that
every man in that parade was known
Throughout the kingdom. First were the
in ancient Spanish costume. Then the
picadores, mounted, as they should be, on
horses with 'the off eye" ba%ndagsd. Next
came the chulos, or combatants on foot,
arrayed like Figaro with their scarlet
shawls. Then the banderillos, with their
short. barbed spears. Finally, the mata-
dors, or killers. and,a after just an interval,
the great Fasquelo-the most fearless bull
fighter of the century. Even King Alfonso,
in whose honor all this pageant had been
organized, returned the salute of The
trim little man who stood facing him
rather than the audience in the center of
the stage. Nobody can understand the
popular enthusiasm for the royal toreadore
who has never lived in Spain. The Esca-
milo of the night entered without attract
