GREAT MUSIC FESTIVAL
OPENS IN BANGOR TOMORROW
THREE DAYS OF RARE MUSIC.
A MAMMOTH ORCHESTRA AND 100
sINGERs-ELLswoRT WILL PAR
TICIPATE-LOW FARES AND A
SPECIAL BACK SATURDAY
NIGHT.

Tomorrow evening the first concert Of
the auditorium in Bangor, with an orches-
ira Of about sixty, a chorus Of nearly ], 1,00O
voices, and galaxy of famous soloists-
an aggregation Of musical talent never
before assembled In Maine.
For the opportunity thus afforded to lis
ten to the music that will be offered, the
public is indebted mainly to William r.
Chapman, whose indefatigable energy
and uubounded enthusiasm have already
revolutionized musical sentiment in
Maine.
In his work he has been most ably as
sisted by his charming wife and by Ho-
mer N. Chase, the tireless business man.
ager. The various local choruses have
aroused unusual interest in music, and
large delegations from every section OF
eastern Maine will attend.
THE SINGERS.
The merits Of the soloists have already
been sufficiently exploited; the fame OF
many OF them is already world wide.
Mines. Gadski and Maconda, M iss Rosa
Green, Williams, Davies, Mies-these
alone are sufficient to justify travelling
many miles to hear.
THE CONCERTS.
Gadski will sing at every one of the five
concerts; Davies only in the oratorio
"Elijah" on Saturday night. The various
programmes cover q very wide range. The
first nights programme is made up mainly
OF Wagnerian selections; the second of
English, French and Italian operatic se-
lections; the third Of the grand oratorio
"Elijah." The matinee programmes for
Friday and Saturday afternoons are OF a
miscellaneous but nevertheless OF an in
tensely interesting character.
TRAINS AND FARES.
The fare from Ellsworth on Thursday
and Friday will be s1.05 for the round
trip, good till Monday morning. On Sat-
urday the round trip fare is rs cents.
On Saturday night, after the concert, a
special will run from Bangor to Els
| worth. The Friday night special back,
originally arranged for, will not be run.
Persons who have bought tickets for Fri
day may have them exchanged for Satur-
day tickets or have th.r money re-
| funded. Exchauge of tickets may be
"nodo b. calling on or writing to NJ. H.
Andrews, Bangor, or they will be ex-
changed at the auditorium box office.
The Ellsworth chorus numbers about
sixty; of this number about fortyht e
viii attend the festival. Thirteen chorus
es numb bering nearly 1000 voices will ps r
ticipate. They are from Bangor, Orono,
| Fort Fairfield, Caribou, Old Town, Presque
Isle HouIton, Skowhegan, Belfast, Water
| vile, Ellsworth, Gardiner and Augusta.
SHALL THEY CONTINUE?
| The continuance of these annual musi-
cal events depends wholly upon the
support given them by the public. Last
| years festival was a great success; his
years promises to surpass it in every
respect. Everybody who has music in
| his soul, and time and money enough to
spare, should not fail to attend this great
musical feast.
| 1t is hoped that Ellsworth will be very
much in evidence at all the performances.

The question OF royalties to be
paid by leasers 10 serious one in
mining regions of New Mexico
In the development of mines, the
work OF leasers, considered as u
total, is more important than the
work of owners. 1t is the leasers
that made the majority OF the pr 9
porous camps in the territory. In
Others, like H,lisboro and Lake
Valley, where the lessers did not
develop mines from the surface,
they have kept up prediction and
prosperity, where owners could
not, or would not, work at profit
1t is quite as likely that future
prosperity will depend upon leas-
ers as much as i. has in the past,
consequently anything which re-
tards their work is an injury to
the mining industry. Royalties.
TOO large, certainly do deter them
from work, and the rule is to ask
ROYALTIES out of all reason. When
a claim, or mine owner, has prop
erty that has no ore in sight, and
ont NJ which he can make no profit,
he should, IN all fairness, charge a
royalty email enough to ind Q
men TO lease and take the risk OF
making a profit. A mine out
which one can make nothing him
self is not thing on which from a
good business standpoint, anything
but small royalty should be
charged.
