ANXIOUS TO MAKE A RECORD,
Savannah Boys at Tampa Eager to
Get 40 the Front.

Capt. ]. Ferris Cam of the
Second Georgia Volunteers. is home from
Tampa on private business. He has five
days furlough and VIII return Saturday
night.
Capt Cam reports the health OF the
men from Savannah as remarkably good.
There are a couple Of cases of measles
and a case or two of light fever, but that
Is about all.
The men have become pretty well hard
ened to their soldier life now, and per-
form their duties faithfully and well with
out the great fatigue that many felt at
first.
AS other men from the camp have stat
ed, they are quite willing to be quickly
weaned from Tampa. A thoroughly good
spirit prevails among the men, Capt. Cam
reports and they are all determined TO
make a good record for Savannah IL they
,@ver have the opportunity accorded them.

Firemen Had Useless Run to the
Old Fort.

Old Fort.
Some mischievous chap broke the glass
to the fire alarm key at box a, about
o'clock yesterday morning, and called
out the central station and headquarters
companies. When the firemen arrived,
however, there were no evidences of fire,
or the party who sent in the alarm. IL
was at once realized somebody had put up
a job on the department, and without par
leying over their useless run they return
ed to quarters. The amusement the false
alarm gave whoever sent il in is by no
means commensurate with what it costs
the city.
1T seems strange none Of these people
who turn in false alarms are ever cap
tured," said one of the men. There Is no
question that the stigma of such thing
would cling to the guilty party forever
in case he should be caught. We enjoy
doing our duty, but there's no glory or
encouragement dashing out in response to
some drunken sots CALI

Thou Sublime, Sweet Evening Star, was
admirably done. Mr.. Miles is an artist
whom it is always pleasure to hear ana
in the Excelsior duett with Mr. Williams,
they were obliged to repeat the last por'
tion OF the duett, showing conoiuslsely
that encores are "a delusion and snare :
The combination of Mr.. Chapman and
the Rondo glamour proved Irresistible
to the audience, and repetition was
emphatically demanded. 1t seems carp
ing spirit that complains Of generosity
Init enoores are worn-out fetish that
lons-suffering artists should no longer
bow down before.
The chorus work must have delighted
Mr.. Chapman's heart. as it most assured
" did that of the audience. The grand
Hallelujah Chorus was given with a
feryor that would of itself have brought
the large audience to its feet had they not
already risen in accordance with the re-

quest printed on the programme. While
with male voices in AMI horns. there
is always room for more yu.5 ene O;.ssUs
and tenors of Maine did effective singing
last evening and gave the Pilgrim 8
Chorus with fine effect while to the
whole chorus in "Hail bright abode,
most generous applause was given. The
attacks were most admirable, the climax
to each number well worked up and
phrases were finished in q musicianly
manner. The Maine Chorus of '9S showed
the result of hard study, and marked I'M
provement over that of '97. One OF the
most difficult things to do we'll in music
is to arrange a programme that will
attract and satisfy all tastes. Mr.. Chap
man usually shows such discrimination
that it was a matter for surprise that he
closed his otherwise unusually fine pro-
gramme with SO light and uninteresting
a composition as the "Lizt Galop" Per-
haps this would not have been so notice
able if it had not immediately followed
that glorious quintette from the Meister
singer. That inspiring, uplifting com.
position, raised us to the seventh heaven,
and we were all too hastily brought down
to earth by LIFTS ordinary composition.
The strongest. praise is due Mr.. Chap
man for his gigantic work amongst us. 1t
IL never difficult to criticize or pull down,
but to build is tho herculean task. Mr..
Chapman is building each year in Maine,
laying broad and deep foundations for
musical culture and knowledge, the re-
suits Of which will be known in their
completeness only to coming generations.

Bangor, October 9, 1885,
My Dear Mr.. Chapman:
1 cannot let the second grand Festival
pass into history without acknowledging
to you the pleasure it has given me.
The Maine Festival Orchestra has been
a surprise and delight; their playing was
simply magnificent, and the great chorus
was the finest ever listened to; tbs simp-
ly marvellous l never mag ned such
surprising precision ana effects could be
extracted from large chorus. All hail
to Director Chapman.
AS usual you brought us the greatest
artists in the country; they are each and
all above criticism. l predict for our
Portland friends a great surprise in Ma
conda. With highest regards to Mrs
Chapman who, equally with yourself, is
entitled to the gratitude OF all Maine,
and wishing for the Portland Festival
the success it merits, remain
Cordially yours,

| lover could not listsn unmoved. The ar
ray of soloisus comprised many OF the
| worlds famous singers. Madame dadsk1
was inoomparable, taking the audience
completely captive. She is already an
established fayorite with a Portland audi
enoe, having appeared last winter as
Elizabeth in Tannhauser. All who
listened then to her matchless intrepreta-
ticn of Wagner's wonderful music, felt
last evening O keener delight in hearing
again those enhancing strains, while to
the many who for the first time heard
her, her singing came, as fresh revela-
ton of che beauty and capabilities of the
human voice. Her rendering of the
dramatic aria of Der Freischutz with Its
beautiful prayer aroused furore of ap-
plause. How liquid each tone, how pene-
trating in it's sweetness and withal how
powerful and resonant the finale. Not the
least of Madame Gadski's charms is her
dignified though unaffected bearing. She
was a most radiant vision, in snowy satin
and sparkling diamonds. In response to
a triple encore she sang in perfeot Eng
lish, Way Down Upon the Swanee
River" Her enunciation was an obJect
lesson in singing to many vocalists, ana
proved that it is possible to understand
the words of song when properly pro-
nounoed, for though Madame Gadski is a
Prussian, every word was distinctly IN
telligible.
Miss Shaw's sympathetic acoompanl-
ment on the harp added much to the en-
joyment of the song In these days line
tenor voice is a "rara avis, but Mr.. ii.
Evan Williams is the possessor of suoh
a gold mine in his throat His phenome.
nal advance in his profession is we'll

most tenors in America His impassioned
rendering of Lohengrin's solo thoroughly
aroused the audience, and the tender
little Welsh song '.All Through the
Night, 'hshowed the sweetness and beauty
Of his voice. Mr.. Frangcon- Davies,
whose remarkable Interpretation of the
role of Elijah is still a treat in store for
us, played Mr.. Williams's encore accom-
paniment with rare skill and finish.
All good things come to Portland, and
certainly we may congratulate ourselves
upon having an opportunity Of listening
to Miss Rosa Green's superb voice. Her

been evident even to a casual stranger
that something out of the common was
in progress The trains that came in
from the east and west brought the ladies
and gentlemen of the festival chorus,
their relatives and friends, and other
people who came to attend the concerts.
The hotels and boarding houses began to
show additional life and hustle and each
succeeding train brought more and more
recruits to swell the chorus and audience.

NO SUCH INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN.

Washington, October 10-There has
been wide circulation given to the story
originating at the recent annual encamp :
ment of the G. A. r., at Cincinnati, that
"The Commissioner of Pensions had
called his chiefs together and instruc ted
them to disregard totally every applica-
ton based on deafness and rheumatism
in the adjudication of claims for PEN
sions." The commissioner authorizes the
following statement:
First-No such instructions were given.
Second-As to deafness the present
medical referee of the bureau, DIR. j. F..
Rarb. a prominent 6. A r. man, says
there has been no change in the adjudica-
t1on of claims for deafness since the
present schedule of rating which was ap-
proy ed December 4. 1891 in accordance
with the act of August ~. 1888.
Third-As to rheumatism, the present
chief of the board of review, Col. +. ID
Stephenson, also prominent g. A. K.
man. SAYS there has been no change IN
adjudication of claims for rheumatism
since he came to the bureau in 1867
bourth-There has probably not been
single working day passed since April |,
1897, that there has not been u cert ncate
issued for both deafness and rheumatism.
There has been no change in the laws
and therefore no change in the practice
during the present administration.
