Some Of the legal lights are puzzled
"A to the vote of 5000 soldiers, who
have enlisted in the t. S. Army. The

There Is no war now, although the
soldiers nre III the actual service of
the United Suites.
1t is surprising how much quibblin@
there is over laws about the meaning
Of which there can be no question
1t is clearly the purpose Of the above
mentioned law to give every voter from
New Jersey who IL in the service of
his country IN time of wnr II chance to
vote, Whether peace is declared or II
truce agreed upon, the law intends to
allow the soldiers to vote under it's
provisions until he IL mustered out
aud discharged To all ihtents and
purposes, it is ~ time of war" until
the soldiers who have enlisted are dis
charged, even if their enlistment re
quires them to stay in the army year
or two after pence is declared. To de
eide otherwise ~ TO insult the common
sense of ordinarily intelligent people
The court that will decide otherwise
should be impeached for imbecility.

lt. of Il. Eield-Day.

Gen. Wesley &. Smith, brigade COM
mander OF the Maine uniform rank,
Knights of Pythias, this week will issue
general orders in relation to the PVT hian
field day to be held at Bangor, October 5
and 6.
The date is considerably later than the
time usually selected for the annual
gathering, and whether the attendance
will be as large as if an earlier date had
been selected, is only matter of con-
lecture.
The supreme commandery session at
indianapolis which was attended by sew
eral of the Maine Pythian officers, oc
Cured late in August, and the Maine
field day could not very we'll have been
called earlier than that.
On account OF the numerous fairs and
other attractions throughout the State in
September, it was deemed advisable not
to hold the field day till October.
The parade will occur Wednesday after
noon, starting at 2.30. On Thursday the
Sir Knights will go on an excursion to
Camp Benson on Newport lake.

Maine Music Festival.

The advance sale of seats in Ellsworth
for the special day OF the Maine music
| festivaI-Frlday, Oct. was not as salts
factory as was expected. Neverthele a
large number from here will go.
The chorus mum bers about sixty, and of
this number over forty have signifed
their intention to sing In the festival,
most of them intending to remain from
beginning to end.
Ellsworth ought to turn out well at this
festival. 1t promises to surpass in every
way the performance of last year. The
management is doing everything it can
in reason to make the expense as light as
possible.
A special train will run from Bangor af-
ter the concert on Friday night, and
While not yet certain, a special will prob
ably be run on Saturday night also. An
nouncement will be made in ample season.
The running of a special on Saturday
night depends upon the number who will
agree to return on that night. A guaran-
tee OF eighty passengers must be had. 1t
will hasten decision if as many Els
worth people MS will return on Saturday
night will hand their names to any mem
Der OF the festival chorus, or leave them at
THE AMERICAN office.
The merits of the festival itself ought to
be attraction enough to carry large dele
cation to Bangor, but the fact that Els
worth has not inconspicuous part in the
proceedings ought to be further reason
for attending.
AS to fares, the Maine Central has
generously reduced the rate to 10 cents
for the round trip on Saturday; this can
be stated authoritatively, and it is
probable thet the round trip fare on the
other two days will be the same public
announcement will, however, be made in
ample season.
Let it not be said that Ellsworth is un-
appreciative Of such a rare musical event
as this festival is sure to be.

please the audience most were Gounod's
"Repentance" and Johnson's "Good

Col. Theodore Roosevelt was nominated
yesterday by the republicans of New
York for governor.
The present governor, Frank S. Black,
was candidate for denomination and,
according to precedent, was entitled TO it,
but the late war so affected the situation
that Gov. Black was sacrificed to the pop
ular demand for Roosevelt the "hero of
Santiago.
Roosevelt was nominated on the 1irst
ballot, receiving 1853 votes to 218 for Black.
The nomination was then made pnRni-

Twenty-one Thousand Applicants For
Five Hundred Places.

Washington, June 16.-The organiZa-
ton Of the volunteer army made neces-
sary the appointment from civil life of
d few less than five hundred staff Off
GERS and second lieutenants. The enor-
nous amount of work entaileu upon the
President and the War Department,
particularly the adjutant general and
his force, by the appointments can be
ina gined when it is know that for the
first 500 appointments there were more
than 1000 applicants. Every one of
the applications had to be briefed, ar
ranged and filed, and before the APP
pointments were made many of the ap-
plications had to be handled several
times. Each one had to be answered
and many of them were the subjects of
considerable correspondence. The ma
iority of the applicants had influential
support and the President the Secre-
tary of War and Adjutant General Cor
bin were obliged to discuss the appoint
ments personally with the friends of
the applicants. No regret Is expressed
in official circles that the task is now
approaching completion.
