A brilliant audience listened to the first
evenings programme. 1t was an audience
that represented the social element of the
city and festival parties were conspicuous.
There were many people from out of town
who have come to spend the week with
friends, and these were all present. There
were many beautiful gowns. a few in de-
collete corsage and a very few with bonnets
on. The chorus ladies, almost without ex-
ception, wore light dresses, and the ladies
of the solo choir formed an attractive vision
as they stood in front of the mems chorus
in the center of the stage. II was q gather
ing which is typical of May festivals in this
city. When a city has festival every year
for a decade there are some things that
characterize them. The audience is strong
ly distinctive. One might almost name the
persons who will have seats in the front
rows of the balcony and those who will have
what others consider even better-seats in
the center of the hall, In either the A. Il or
G. sections. The upper gallery was full, and
up there were rows and rows of music low
ers who had the advantage of hearing the
chorus where the mind was not distracted
with thes faces of the singers, but could pay
strict attention to the music itself. 1t is a
treat to see a May festival audience, for
there is bout it a refinement that few other
entertainments in this city secure
In the Jubal overture the orchestra had
an opportunity to show how we'll it is ball

best known overtures and its music is ia

there were persons that could no more have
refrained from assisting In the music than
they could resist breathing. Such storm
of applause as greeted this has rarely been
heard and il came and went in waves of
clapping, for minute or more. 1t was a

HE IS WORMY.

One Me.heney is the editor of the SiIoam Springs Republican. Like his patron Saint, w. D. Mathews, the N ebraskan, upon his ascension to the editorial tripod, he at once began to set up cayote howl against the Republican ap- pointees and during the past eighteen months has "paid his respects" to each of them from Clayton down, and its dollars to doughnuts that, like Mathews, he will be voting the Democratic tick ct in less than two years and run ming for constable of his township.
 Metheney's latest effusion is on "Crossroads Statesmen" in which he presents John I. Warrington of the Harrison Land Office as a fair sample.
 When Metheney hates man, skunk like, he also hates the ground that he walks upon. After venting his spleen on John, he thus pays his compliments to Green Forest:
 But to return to the original subject, Crossroads Statesmen," We are car ried back to the scenes in and about Green Forest, where the whooperwill whoopeth and the whandoodle whang eth; where the daily arrival of the United States mall coach creates as much excitment as Spanish bull fight; where the environments fer the growing of great statesmen are far superior to those around old Madrid here and only here, is the accredited home of the Hon. John I. Worthington !, diplomat and register of the Harrl- son Land Office,
 It's a poor way to get even with such blackguard as Methe ney by e'cussing back" at him. About the best way would be by the ''laying on of hands," but even then man would want to know that MetehneY had b cen freshly bathed ''in the pool of Siloam."
 But all that is the matter with you, Brother Metheney, you have been biting the hand that fee ds you.

Anna E. George, charged with the
murder of George d. Saxton, was brought
into Justice Reigher's court room in the

her with the murder. The court room
was allied: Justice Reigher asked ! ms.

not disturbed in the least, but in very

CHANGEsIN GENERAL COMMANDS.

Washington, October 10.-The order
designating the general officers to be
mustered out of service, dated October q,
was published officially today and at the
head of the list was Major General
Joseph G. Breckenridge, whose name was
not in the first publication. Genera
Breckenridge will return to duty on
November 80 as inspector general OF the
army General Breckenridge was to have
commanded the first corps, which position
will be- occupied by Major General James
II. Wilson. who was appointed from
Delaware at the beginning OF the war. 1t
is understood that there will be other
changes in the commands of army corps
stationed in the South. General Wheeler,
who will command the fourth corps stated
before leaving Washington, that he ex-
pected to return to this city and resume
his seat IN the House soon after the be-
ginning of the session. General Graham
who is to command the second corps, h as
retired as brigadier general and the ques-
tion has arisen whether he shall be con-
tinued longer in the volunteer service.
The attorney general has rendered an
opinion that there is no reason why he
should not, /. but there is feeling among
army officers th at 1T is not altogether fair
to the younger men who should have an
opportunity to secure higher commands
1t is altogether likely that Generals John
G. Bates and A. r. Chaffee later on will
succeed to the command of the second
and fourth corps and General Wilson will
continue to command the first corps.
General Wilson, since he returned from
Porto Rico and made his report to the
President, has been on leave of absence. !.

on Front street this morning in which a
Bath clergyman participated. A Bath
man who has been on spree for two
weeks or more had been arrested and fined
by Judge Fogg, who. however, agreed
that the sentence should be suspended

was done at the earnest solicitation Of
Rev. Francis W. O'Brien, pastor of the
Forward Movement. After leaving the
court room the kind hearted Clergyman
bought medicine to steady the fellows
nerves and told him he would send some
meat and groceries to his house, he being
q poor man. The fellow was apparently
very thankful and started for home. Mr..
o. rion kept his eye upon him and saw
him enter saloon, thereupon the clergy
man started on the run, darted into the
saloon, caught the man by the shoulder
and dragged him out OH the sidewalk.
The minister at first thought he would
send the man to the judge and let the law
take it's course, but finally consented to
give the fellow another chance and started
him home warning him that il he didn t
do right the sentence would be carried
out.
Work was resumed upon the water bat
terry at Popham Beach this morning,
about forty men being employed. They
will complete the work of mounting the
new eight inch rifle which was recently
landed there and will build magazine.

GIANT PHILIPPINE BEES.
Honeymakers Which 1t Is Proposed to In
troduce Into the United States.

Washington, Oct. S.-There is one race
inhabiting the Philippines which will be
Q welcome addition to American citizen
ship and will receive every facility and
| inducement to emigrate to the United
States and engage In the skilled labor in
which it has no peer This is the giant
East Indian honey bee, whose immense
capacity for making honey and wax has
interested the Department of Agriculture
in the consideration of an early effort to
introduce it into the United States To
science this bee is known as Apis dorsata.
1t is common throughout the tropical
regions OF the East, and in tbs Philippine
Islands the very largest variety Of the
species is found. 1t Is nearly one-half
larger than the American native honey
ee, and builds comb, heavy with wax
and honey, five OF six times as large as
those found in American orchards and
forests.
The question Of acclimatizing these in
habitants of the Philippines in the colder
ATTITUDES of America is not discouraging
The giant bees are found in the mountain
regions and all through india and have
been seen busily at work at attitudes OF
5, 600 feet In the Philippine Islands their
colonies are most numerous in the noun
tains, as the unceasing quest of the
natives for their honeycombs has driven
them from the unprotected flat lands of
the coast to the less thickly Inhabited
and more heavily wooded mountain re-
gions. The Filipinos find their daily
bread a rather easy proposition, but they
are very fond of honey on the staff of life.
There Is also large demand for the wax
for use IN dyeing.
The big bees build their hives on tall
forest trees or on the oyerhanging lodges
of cliffs. When undisturbed branch
swarms build near the .parent colony, so
that In few years an immense bee settle
ment often grows up in the forest. The
bees build q comb five or six feet long,
four feet wide and from seven .eighths to
one and one-half inches in thickness. The
largest combs of American honey bees are
not of more than one-f1fth these dimen.
