which the BrattIeboro People VIII
Have an Opportunity Of Attending at
springfield Next Week.
The Music Bulletin Of the Springfield.
Mass. music festival has been distributed
throughout the town recently and has nat
urallv caused much interest among music
lovers. The list of soloists and the pro-
Grams are truly metropolitan in their qual-
itv. and it is no wonder that Springfield
turned ont enthusiastically at the recent
season ticket sale There was so heavy
demand for the season tickets that the
choices were sold at auction last week, and
in three hours 600 tickets were disposed Of
the premiums aggregating 500. This wa,
a remarkable advance sale, and an index of
what the festival promises to be. There
will be a limited number of evening tickets
for each concert, and Brattleboro people
who wish to 60 will do well to order early
in advance.
Samson and Delilah comes Wednesday
evening with such artists as Mrs. Alves.
Dr. Duff, and the great English tenor,
Ben Davies. All these artists have inter
esting solos and duets. Thursday after
noon comes a symphony concert with Ben
Davies in the prize song and group OF
songs with piano accompaniment Melba
sings Thursday evening three of her most
attractive numbers, one of which, the mad
song from Lucia, has a wonderful flute OBJ
ligato. Friday afternoon the audience will
have a taste of as good string quartet play
ing as can be heard in the world. The
Kneisel quartet will play two beautiful
numbers. and Franz kneise will give the
great Mendelssohn concerto with orchestral
accompaniment.
Friday evening closes the festival with
the first part of Bach's Christmas Oratorio
and MendelssOhn's Hymn of Praise. This
will be no drop from the standards of the
preceding concerts, for the best artists pos
sible Nordica, Gertrude May
Stein, W. II. Rieger and Myron Whitney,
youngest Sons are the soloists. Nordica
also sings the aria Hear We. Israeli be-
tween the works.
The whole scheme presents a series of
concerts of rare excellence, and different
from many festival programs in the fact
that there is no weak spot.
Ysaye, the celebrated violinist, was one
of the attractions engaged, but his mana
ger refused TO fill his written agreement.
In his place has been secured the Knesel
string quartet of Boston, one of the finest
in the world, with Franz kneisel for VIC
lin soloist Kneisel is the famous concert
master of the Boston Symphony orchestra.
Orders and inquiries sent to Taylor
Music house, Springfield, Mass, will be
promptly attended to.

THE CHESTNUT STREET PETITION
A Correspondent Takes Exception to
the Statements.

The Editor Of The Ph0nir.-An item In your
paper last week said "a petition is being circuat
edrequestng the bailffs to cause the residents of
Chestnut street. in EsteyYille who have not al
ready done so, to connect with the sewer at an
early date. as the overflow from cesspools and
sink drains In that locality is not only nuisance
but menace 70 the public health This is a
false and malicious statement regarding the
sanitary condition of the street. We demand
that the board Of health shall make thorough
inspection of the whole street, then inform the
pubic whether the nuisance is on Chestnut street
or little nearer 70 Main street The facts are
mat every house on Chestnut street in the village
limits has been connected with the sewer Bailiff
Streeter informs me that no complaint has been
MADE 10 him, and. that he knows nothing about
any petition. have not found a man on or OF
the street who has seen or knows any thing
about sucn a petition. We don't take kindly 10
such peJuions' nor TO any one that would blacken
our good name
PETER S. CHASE
We understand that exceptions are taken
not to the item in The Phoenix. but to the
statement in the petition. The petition
was drawn up last week. but how extern
slyely it was circulated is not known. If
1t is being circulated it ought TO be shown
III a public manner and not entirely unbe-
known to the people on the street named.
There is said to be trouble with the sewer
outside the village limits, and it is under
stood that the people on Chestnut street
within the village limits would be clad to
have an investigation made by the health
officer.

THE Carnegie Company, at Home
stead, paid out on Saturday $4,000
in wages to their men.-This showed
an advance of $11, 200 that goes to la
Dor because of the recent increase in
wages. All this was under the Will
son tariff. The Carnegie works had
quite different experience in 1899,
under the Mckinley law, at q time
when the Wilson tariff was not dream
ed of, and five months before the
election of president. There was q
reduction of wages, and proscrip-
tion of labor organization under the
Mckinley tariff. Wages advanced
under the Wilson tariff. The work
ingmen are sizing up the situation.
They are getting better wages than
under the closing years of Mckinley
ism, and, besides that, the pur-
chasing power of their wages has
been materially increased. They
can buy more of the necessities for
the same money.

To Ohio Democrats.

The Chicago Chronicle sends words
of greeting and cheer, thus:
'If the Democratic voters of Ohio
will study the present and not be dis
heartened by thepast, they will enter
upon the approaching campaign with
the enthusiasm bred of confidence,
the enthusiasm which presages vic
tory
Two heavy defeats in succession fell
upon the Ohio Democrats. Their
enemies rejoiced and proclaimed the
party slain. The privileged classes,
the beneticiaries of Republican speci-
al legislation, national and state, con-
tributed lavishly to the Republican
campaign fund, which was employed
bra2enly and unscrupulously for de-
bauching the electorate. Special
causes, widespread distress, the lega-
cy of Republican maladministration
at Washington co-operated with the
Doodle of beneficiaries of protection
to sweep the Democrats away in de
feat which their adversaries loudly
proclaimed final. To day, however,
the shattered ranks are filled, the old
leaders are at their stations, new
ones, bringing to the struggle the fire
and progressiveness of youth, are
pressing to the front. Sturdier than
the Old Guaid at Waterloo the Dem
ocratic party neither dies nor surren-
ders.
There is reason for the confidence
with which Ohio Democrats approach
the election. The ranks of their an
tagonists are rent and torn by inter
nal strife. The antagonism between
Mckinley and Foraker has burst in
to open war. The former seeks to
sacrifice all interests to his presiden-
tial ambitions. The latter, who has
become the stronger of the two in
the state, purposes McKinley's over
throw in the nation as he has already
accomplished it in the state. The
perfunctory resolutions commenda-
tory OF McKinley's candidacy which
Foraker permitted the convention to
adopt are the veriest humbug They
hold the word of promise to the ear
and break it to the hope. If Fora
ker's candidate, Bushnell, be elected
governor, the Ohio delegation to the
national convention may have a COM
plimentary vote for Mckinley, but
win not be an effective force for him.
Mckinley is too shrewd a politician
not to foresee this and avert the
danger by blocking the first step in
the programme.
Ohio Democrats do no need to act
on the maxim divide and conquer.
The RpntlblieanS are sufficiantly dis
