The Festival Concert.

A rainy evening seems to be the fate
of the Somerset Choral Society when
they arrange for concert. Thursday
evening was no exception, yet a fairly
good sized audience assembled in Co
burn hall to attend the Maine Musical
Festival concert given by the Somerset
Choral society, including Norridgewock
and Madison singers, assisted by the Ce.
ella Club of Watervile; Mrs. f. b. Hub
bard, soprano, Mrs. Jennie Brown Flood,
contralto, Waterville; Miss Gertrude
Potwin, violinist, Iowa; Mr.. Geo. P.
Maxim, pianist and Mrs. j. r. Frost,
accompanied.
Mrs Hubbard and Mrs. Flood are es.
pecially sweet singers and their two
duets, lover the Heather by Moir,
and "Contentmentn by Goring Thomas,
were thoroughly enjoyed, as WAS also
Mrs. Floods solo, "Protestations" by
Norris. Encores were demanded in
both instances. Miss Potwin found ia
vor with the audience at once. She was
on the program for one selection only,
"Legende," Wieniawski, but was re-
called and later, happily, consented to
play again. She demonstrated the fact
very plainly that she is a talented and
accomplished violnist. Mr.. Maxim
played two solos, Rhapsody in D Minor
Brahms, and Bridal Procession, Grieg
He was heard to advantage and was well
received.
Naturally much interest was felt in
the selections by the chorus and to
their credit it can truly be said that nc
one went away disappointed. There
were nearly one hundred singers on the
stage, and the music produced undel
the leadership of Prof. W. r. Chapman
the Festival director-in-chief, was wor
thy of all the praise bestowed upon it
Among the selections rendered were
''Praise Ye the Father Gounod
Evening" Bassen, "Anvil Chorus,
Verdi. "Hsllelujah Chorus, dandel
"Thanks be to Go&," and BE no
Afraid Mendelssehn, and the "Sta
Spangled Banner, 1t is good thing
to know what Somerset singers can do

best in the State, was great, bat the eff

had much to contend with, therefor
the result is al the more satisfactory.

printing envelopes. Business men
who have been in the habit of using
government stamped envelopes will
note the fact that so soon as the present
contract for printing runs out you can
get envelopes printed at your home
Office only, as the government will no
longer stay in the business of printing

In addition to the matters Of nation
al Importance there is a question at
issue in this campaign which comes
home even closer to the Taxpayers Of
jefferson county than those already
mentioned. The only contest strictly
within our county Is for the Office Of
District Attorney. The Republican
candidate, Nathan L. Strong, has served
one term in the Office and by his fidelity
to the people has saved the taxpayers
thousands OF dollars. His opponent,
who also served one term in the office
just prior to Mr.. Strong's election, is the
same man Mr.. Strong defeated three
years ago by a large majority. II Is an
open and notorious fact that the crimi-
nal court has been reduced one-half
since Mr.. Strong's election, and the
credit for this great saving to the peo-
pie belongs to him. There Is no doubt
about his election, but the plain, prac-
tical question which the voter must
consider. and which the returns will
answer, is whether 1t is worth while in
Jefferson county for man in public Of
flee to protect the Taxpayers by deny
ing himself gains which he might take
to himself, or whether he will stand
just as we'll with the people II he self
ishly considers his own interests and
farms his Office for all it is worth. II
Mr.. Strong's majority is greater than 1t
was three years ago It will be regarded
as an approval of his course In cutting
down the expenses of the courts, but II
IL should be less. II the voters refuse to
commend well doing when they have
an opportunity to do so, then let II be
known to the world that In Jefferson
county integrity in public Office Is not
expected or desired by the people. We
confidently believe that the voters o.
jefferson county will show their fidelity
to good government, and support ant
approve the conduct of faithful publ,

1t is the fashion of some scoffers at
religion to call attention to the fact
that ministers sons have often the rep
utation Of being the worst boys in the
parish and of scoring failures in life
when they become men. In order to
maintain their point these men magnify
beyond all reason the number OF in
stances Of ministers sons who go wrong,
and at the same time they characterize
conduct that is really only somewhat
censurable, but not induced by any bad
motives, as highly criminal in the case
Of minister's son, while in scion of the
laity 1t would be excused upon the
ground of youth. The scoffers, of
course, conveniently shut their eyes to
the great merits OF the many minister's
sons who have done we'll in comparison
with the few who have gone permanent
iy wrong. To do otherwise would cut
the ground from under their argument,
which is not based upon the general
condition of things, but upon the excep-
tions thereto.-Pittsburg Times.

II is we'll known among sportsmen

they enjoy, are most plentiful. When
there is short crop of nuts in COM

there. There Is no doubt that the
pretty little animals migrate from
one section to another at times. The
question that presents itself to our
minds is, how do they learn OF better
