FINGERS AND STRINGS.

The lively and artistic combination
of fingers and strings, as exempli6ed
by the Imperial Quartette at Music
Hall on Friday evening, proved fair
ly entertaining to large audience.
Several of the numbers, including
the mandolin solo, the Darkies' Car
nival, the double number by the
quartette. the xylophone solo, the
trick banjo and violin playing
were very well done and deserved
the recognition bestowed upon them.
A programme devoted wholly to
that sort of music, however, is likely
to lose it's freshness before the last
number is reached, and the introduc-
tion say of a good reader and a first
class soloist would have added
a great deal to the popular enjoy
ment of this concert. The members
of the quartette are artists, Signor
Carciotto being, it is said, the finest
mandolin player in this country;
and when it comes to the manlpula-
tion of this class of stringed instru-
ments, the lmpcrials fill the bill.

not yet recognized as disease by
the medical profession, must make
its reputation in the care Of it's nat
ural guardians first. Again, as to the
secrecy of the cure. When a physi-
clan invents a specific to cure any
disease he keeps the formula to him
self. DR.. Koch of Germany and M.
Pasteur of France have been doing
so. "Intemperance is disease and l
thank God that the Keeley cure has
cured me from that terrible disease.
Thanking you for inviting me here
tonight, l bid you cordial good
night"
The speechmaking closed at 11.30,
after which the graduates exchanged
farewell greetings, and went home
enthusiastic over their first reunion.
1t will interest the public to know
that the institute at North Conway
has been in operation for year, up
to Jan. 1st. About 500 men have
been graduated therefrom, and it is
quite remarkable that there has not
been death among ali these gradu-
ates, with one exception, that man
having died, not from natural causes
but from the effects of an assault or
the streets of Boston.

VIEWPOINTS MUSICAL CONVENTION.

The Newport convention opened
Tuesday forenoon very auspiciously.
About seventy-hve in chorus at
opening, with large additions since.
1t bids fair to be the largest chorus
in several years. The soloists are
all fine, assuring 6rst-class concerts
Thursday and Friday evenings, as
well as on the afternoon of those
days. The promenade concert on
Wednesday evening promises to be
a very fine gathering; it will be held
in the parlors Of the Memphremagog
House. With the talent secured, in
Guiding D. M. Babcock of Boston,
the concerts will be fine. The run
ming of trains is such as to give our
people excellent chance to take in
these concerts. All lovers of music
who attend will be abundantly re-
paid.

THE STREET RAILWAY.

A meeting of the incorporators of
the proposed electric street railway
was held at w. p. Stafford's office
last Saturday evening. w. P. Stat.
ford was chosen chairman of the
temporary organization and N. M.
Johnson clerk. The possibilities and
probabilities of the financial success
OF such an enterprise were informally
discussed and it was the opinion of
the conservative ones present that
a street railroad might pay running
expenses from the start and even
tually pay dividends to the stock
holders. As the stock is $25 share
it could be owned by a good
many people, many of whom would
be willing to contribute $25 or more
to the enterprise, and wait for their
dividends, for the sake of helping the
town After quite discussion, a
committee consisting of E. H. Bios
som, J. c. Clark and Charles H,
Stevens was chosen to investigate
the project in every particular, OBJ
tain plans and estimates, and re-
port at another meeting to be called
in the near future.

CONCERNING TYPHOID FEVER.

On Saturday of this week the
selectmen, the trustees and the
health officer will meet to organize,
according to law, the local board of
health. We believe that the parties
who will make up this board realize
that there is demanded OF them at
the present time prompt, careful and
effective consideration of the needs
of the sanitary branch of our village
life, and the adoption Of such measures
as will ensure the best possible condi-
ton of things as touching the health
of the community.
The unusual number of deaths
from typhoid fever which have oc-
Cured here during the past few
weeks have naturally made our peo-
pie uneasy and started much anxious
inquiry as to the cause of so much
sickness. Naturally many things
have been said which were better
unsaid because they are not based
upon fact and only tend to
enhance the public uneasiness. We
refer to certain statements in regard
to the water supply. 1t will not do
to jump at conclusions in so serious
a matter, on the mere "say-so" or
"think-so" of irresponsible parties.
We are glad to learn, in conversa'
ton with a member of the board
that the trustees are disposed to dc
their full duty in the matter and co
operate with the town authoritie:
in col rrecting any unhealthful condi
tions that may exist within thei
province. 1t is to be hoped that TIL
board OF health will at once institut
searching inquiry and then give tn
public, in an official manner, the re
suits OF their inquiry, with such sug
gestions as they deem necessary t
make. They have the power no
only to suggest, but to enforce, an
we believe the community wi
endorse fully anything they may d
to secure what is so necessary-th
sanitary welfare of the village.
We do not believe there is an
cause fc r undue excitement or alarm
NOTHING SiIl be gained by exagger'
ton DR. Unjust criticism; but the en-
desired will be attained by insistin
that the constituted authorities
their duty fearlessly, and by
cordial cooperation with them G
the part of the people generally.

and its application to the demands
of the business world, the lecture
tomorrow night will be looked

of our people. On the Friday even
