Maine Musical Festival.

October will be great month in Maine It
VIII ne made memorable by the occurrence of
the greatest musical event that has taken place
IN the East for several decades. 1t is the
Name Music Festival; and in the grandeur
OF It's personnel and proportions, it suggests
the glorious Jubilee Concerts at Boston. which
marked the return of peace to a long suffer
ing nation and people, and the echoes of
those harmonies were heard around the
world. The Maine Festival will easily be in
.ne same class, mns'cally aud artistically
with the Peace Jubilee. The Maine Festival
or rather Festivals, will be held in two cities
at Bangor, October Ii, ID and l6. and ai
Portland, October Is, 10 and 2O,-preciselv
the same artists appearing and the same pro-
grams being rendered in each city.
ne FESTIVAL is simply magnificent in its
details and the artists it presents There will
be great chorus of 1000 voices, sele cted from,
the principal cities of Maine, supported by a
grand orchestra of 20 members, Including So
oists from the celebrated Ceidl Orchestra of
New York, all under the direction of William
H. chapman OF New York, director in chief,
and one of the most celebrated choral conduct.

three evenings and two afternoons as follows

Lecture, Orchestra and Soloists
Second Afternoon,

Patrons tickets, admitting to the five con-
certs, with secured seats, are only So, a low
figure for such colossal musical Offering and
within the reach of ALL
The work of preparation and organization
OF this monster undertaking has been per-
formed by Director Chapman, Ga native
Maine boy), ably assisted by his General
Manager, Homer N. Chase of Auburn, Me.
Orders for course tickets should be adj
dressed to Manager Chase at Auburn, at
once, insuring good seats.
1t seems almost incredible that such a
grand musical convention can be given at
such distance from the great musical cen,
| tiers, but Mr. Chapman early declared that
nothing was too good for state that had
given the musical world a Cary, a Nordics
| and an Eames, and has acted from this point
| OF view all through. No music lover in New
| England can afford to miss this tremendou,
treat, and of course the great auditorium:
will be literally packed at all the concerts.
This great Festival will be a landmark il
| New England musical annals for years tt
come. Its triumphant success (already abso
utely assured) will rebound to the everlast
| ing credit of its promoter, Mr.. Chapman, anC
to the fame of a state which has furnished 81
many shining marks in all the fields of hu
man progress.

point where the bridal party took its stand
was beautiful corner decoration of ever
green, hydrangeas, golden rod and aste, S.
Bouquets adorned the other rooms, and in
the hall, the balustrade of the stairway was
wound with evergreen and flowers.
Promptly at the hour of noon the bride en-
tered the parlor, leaning on the arm of her
father, and was met by the groom and the
officiating clergyman, Rev. E. f. Marg-
graf, pastor of the Universalist church.

the Episcopal form, the double ring being
used.
The bride was very becomingly gowned
in delicate shade of brown covert cloth.

sementerie. Immediately after the cere-
mony luncheon was served, and the bride
and groom took their departure in shower

STYLE in Hat Trimming.

A novel feather trimming consists
in using a long plume, much as if it
were a feather boa twisted about the
crown. At the left side the end of the
feather is caught up so that it looks
like a small Prince of Wales plume. As
to the coloring OF the new hats. the
rainbow and kaleidoscope effects have
departed. The most exclusive hats
show varying shades of one color. All
the tints of castor are high in favor for
early fall. Gray is much the vogue,
and Jockey Club, which is the new
name for a peculiar shade of heliotrope.

that congress provide this armor, as until

Few otner powers. IS formidable force;
ITS vessels are the very best OF each type;
and with The Increase that should be made
10 u from time TO time in the future, and
careful attention to keeping 1t in a high
state Of efficiency and repair, it is well
adapted to the necessities OF the country.
The great increase of the navy which mas
taken place III recent years was justified by
the requirements for national defense and
mas received public appreciation. The time
has now arrived, however, when this in
crease, to which the country is committed
should, for time, take the form of in
creased facilities commensurate with the
increase of our naval vessels. 1t S an I'M
fortunate fact that there is only one dock
on the Pacific coast capable OF docking our
largest ships, and only one on the Atlantic
coast, and that the latter has for the last
SIX or seven months been under repair and
therefore incapable of use. Immediate
steps should be taken to provide three or
four docks OF this capacity on the Atlantic
coast, al least one on the Pacific coast and
floating dock on the gulf. This is the
recommendation OF very competent
podlhl dRpOAAlSu 10 investigate InG SUD-
ject; There should also be ample provision
made for powder and projectiles, and other
munitions of war and tor an increased
number of officers and enlisted men. Some
additions are also necessary to our navy
yards for the repair and care of our larger
number OF vessels AS there are now on
the stocks five battleships of the largest
class, which can not be completed for a
year or two, concur with the recommen-
dalton of the secretary of the navy for an
appropriation authorizing the construction
or one battleship for the Pacific coast,
where at present there is only one in COM
mission and one under construction, while
on the Atlantic coast there are three In
commission and four under construction:
and also that several torpedo boats be
authorized in connection with our gem
eral system of coast defense.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Dignity and Honor Require Confirm
ntion of the Treaty.


By a special message sted the 18th day
of June last, / laid before the senate q
treaty signed that day by the plenipo-
public of Hawaii having for It's purpose the
Incorporation of the Hawaiian Islands as
an integral part of the United States anu
under its sovereignty. The senate having
removed the injunction of secrecy, although
the treaty Is still pending before that body,
the subject may be properly referred to In
this message because the necessary action
OF the congress is required to determine by
legislation many details OF the eventual
union should the fact OF annexation be ac-
complished, as believe It should be.
While consistently disavowing from h
very early period any aggressive policy OF
absorption in regard to the Hawaiian
group, q long series of declarations through
three-Quarters of q century has proclaimed
the vital interest OF the United States in the
independent life OF the islands and Their
intimate commercial dependence upon this

entity of Hawaiian statehood cease by the
passage Of the ISLANDS UNDER the COMMA.
