IA Usr AND THE PHILHARMONIC.

Last Friday evening Music Hall held a
large audience to hear Mr. George Rid
dies readings from Goethe's Faust, with
music by the Boston Philharmonic Club.
Great expectations regarding this event
were INDUCED in, and they were not dis
appointed, for Mr.. Riddle was successful
in thoroughly pleasing his auditors by
his powerful rendition of some OF the
strongest passages in the German poets
immortal work. He was especially good
in the scene in the witches kitchen, chang
ing his voice in a marvellous manner to
initiate the witch and her attendant apes
as well as the two central figures Of the
scene The music, which began with the
wicrd prelude from Gounod's Faust, and
included a waltz and the Soldiers Chorus
by the same composer, was much en-
joyed The only fault was, there was
not enough of it. The Soldiers Chorus
was encored and repeated. In all, the
entertainment was one OF a very high
order, and capable OF being most enjoyed
by those who have studied Faust and
have seen it well staged

The st. .Johnsbury Creamery are doing
a good business supplying customers with
milk and cream, as well as making butter,
and they supplied the milk and cream for
the Board of Trade banquet Tuesday
night.
Several weeks ago we called the atten-
ton of our readers to the fact that the
bread which won first prize at our county
fair for three years was made from "Du-
luth Imperial" flour. Since that time the
sales of the flour have increased very
much, and the -four is proving to be the
best in town for bread. Z. T. & H. K.
Ide sell it.

LETTERS FROM WAII.

We shall begin next month to publish
a series of letters from the Hawaiian
Islands written by John r. Musick, the
historical writer, who has already started
for the Islands to write these and other
letters. The letters will run for about
three months and will be rich in descrip.
tive scenery, filed with authentic history
and facts, and lighteued by incidents of
travel and adventure, making them
more fascinating than novel.
The articles will have a special interest
politically as they will include history
of matters which will be much discussed
in the campaign next year, Their past
and present government, the overthrow
OF monarchy, and the setting up of re-
public will be discussed from non-polit-
ical and impartial standpoint. They
will contain hundreds of items of great
interest to the reader, all told in a highly
entertaining, instructive, and unbiased
manner These letters are secured at no
small expense and we are sure they will
interest the many readers OF the GALE
DOMAIN.

SEEKING "A SETTLEMENT.
Bon dsmen May Make a PROPOSE
tion to TaVIor.


CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Ex-Gov. Arthur
c. Mellette has come down from South
Dakota ON the supposltiOn that the de-
faulting state treasurer, W. W. Taylor,
may be iu Chicago and anxious to make
a settlement. He is interested to the
extent of S50,000 bond in the location
of Mr.. Taylor. and to start action IN the
matter he called meeting OF the men
who had guaranteed the treasurer's
honesty. j. T. McChesney, of New
York, who was an equal lndorser with
the ex-governor, was the first to arrive.
and several days will be spent in a con-
ference over ways and means and an
examination into the exact condition OF
affairs. The men from the North now
estimate the shortage at $3.50, 900, which
is 800, 900 more than the bond, 1t is the
opinion in Huron and Pierre that Iay@
lor will produce 100000 as soon as he
is found, and a Willingness TO
do this and remove the embarrassment
of the present treasurer would probably
secure much lenieucy as to the remain
lug $4,000 There are seventeen men
OH the Taylor bond, most Of whom have
been asked TO the conference.
''It is question now" said Mr.. Mel
lette today, whether Mr.. Taylor IS IN
this country or Europe. There is much
difference of opinion, but l am OF the
opinion he is here and may try to make
a settlement He disposed of his Evans
ton and Chicago real estate before he
dropped from notice This is taken
both as a sign that ne wanted all the
ready money possible for his travels,
and that lie was getting his collaterals
into cash for a possible settlement.
There is, as yet, no plan of action, but
the indications are that a settlement is
most desired. The state needs money
