GOVERNOR AND LIQUOR LAW.
He Believes in Prohibition But Is Not a
Liquor Spotter.

A writer in the Bangor Commercial
quotes Governor Powers as saying in reply
to Bangor man who took him to task
for the non-enforceInento of the liquor law !:
"Now look here my friend, l m elected
to execute the laws, it is true, but the
Governor Of state is neither an autoorat
nor omnipotent. He must necessarily
move in official groves All matters come
before him in certain shape for action.
"He must administer in certain fashion
after others have had their say and have
done their part. When a Governor at
temps to step outside official demarkation
and to start crusade he isn't considered
by his friends and his enemies patriotic.
He becomes Quixotic and people back
| away from him as they would from a
broncho. You can t exactly tell where
he is going to kick next
Now, my dear sir, you and the people
of Maine know how 1 stand on the pro-
hibitory question. believe in prohibition
and in the prohibitory law and would
| like to see it strictly and thoroughly en-
| forced just as long as 1t is on the statute
| books. 1t isn't news to me to hear that
liquor is freely sold in Bangor and that
the bars are doing good business this
week.
"If you as temperance man or other
prohibitionists don't like this why don t
you go to work to remedy the matters Do
you suppose, were the matter to come be-
fore me in proper form that would
neglect to do my duty in the case? If your
enforcement officers are neglectful or re-
fuse to do as the law directs why don t
you proceed to impeach? The Governor
and Council stand ready to investigate:and
take any action that lies in their power.
| We are your servants. We will enforce
the laws. But we are not high sheriffs,
| liquor spoilers or special constables''

NORDsCA'S RECONCILIATION
Anton seidI Played the Part of Peace
maker With De Reszke.

New York, September AIN the course
has just returned from abroad, the Herald
says:
OF course Mr.. Seidl had lot of interest
ing things to tell about his experiences
while abroad, not the least of which was
the circumstances surrounding the recon-
de Reszke. Nine. Nordica, it appears
went to hear performance Of Tristan
and Isolde, in which her old role of the
heroine was being taken by Frau Sedl-
MAR, nj. de Reszke being of course the
Tristan. During the intermission between
the acts Mr.. Seidl met Mime. Nordica and
she could not conceal from him the fact
that she was deeply affected by M. de
Reszke's impersonation, which recalled
memories of those nights at the Metro
politan Opera houss when it was she who
shared the applause of the great tenor.
Mr.. Seidl had always regretted the breach
between the singers, and it occurred to
him that here was the golden opportunity
to try a little peace making.
Come now, Nine. Nordica, why be
childish any longer about this affair?
Why not write a frank, womanly letter to
Jean and ask him to meet you like a
brother artist, talk over your differences
and settle them once for all"
Well, Nine. Nordica was in melting
mood and she took Mr.. Seidls advice,
wrote the letter, of the coming of which
Mr.. Seidl had appraised Jean de Reszke,
and the two artists met and after few
minutes of old fashioned chat the dis
agreeable past was wiped out by common
consent. 'And 1 am sure," added Mr..
Seidl, "they are both much happier, and
art will be mono the loser
Mr.. Seidl says it gave him much pleas
ure to present Nine. Eames to Nine.
Wagner. The latter received her at her
home in Wohnfried, where Nine. Eames
sang for her Schubert's Die Allmacht,
and selections from Elsa's music in
Lohengrin.
Mime. Wagner" he said, was de-
lighted with Nine. Eames' beauty of face
and lovely voice. He at once invited her
to sing Eva and Sieglinde at Bayreuth in
1899. Nine. Eames' health was never
better. She did superbly at Covent Gar
den. This winter she will probably sing
in Paris, in Italy and in ST. Petersburg.
The Ee Reszkes had not Inatured their
plans for the winter when saw them.
Jean will probably rest although he may
sing few times in Russia, Vienna and
Berlin. I He was unable to come to Bay
reuth as his wife was i'll. He fully ex-
poets to return in 1899. After his cold
left him in London he never sang better"
