4 MUSICAL CURIOSITY.
Director Dennis Finds an Old Ophicleide
Now Almost Extinct.

Director Frank Dennis Of the Au-
gusta Cadet band. one day last week.
purchased from George Howard an
old soldier from Gardiner. an ophicleide
old instrument from junk dealer.
None of them knew the value or his
toricu interest OF the instrument
This instrument is now obsolete.
None have been manufactured for 20
years, and but very few for 100 years.
II was amusing To hear the different
names applied TO the instrument by
various members Of the band, and
some of the members of the Togus
ming. None of them knew what il was
or had ever seen one before. Mr.. Den
mis- said that there were probably not
more than half dozen in the whole
of the United States. When he was
student in Boston he once saw one in a
museum. and it was such a peculiar
appearing instrument that lie remem-
hered it.
1t blows like "A cornet, and there are
three varieties of the instrument. bass.
| double bass and alto. 1t IS the alto
! bass of the bugle and was intended to
| fill the low part of the masses of har
! mony. Ii was written in the + clef
| and ranges three octaves and one note
Ii was invented by NJ. Caussimus.
| Unlike the modern horn which has
| three valves. this instrument has keys
| like a clarinet. There are II of them
I and the instrument stands 40 inches.
\ and the music is not particularly beau
| tiful although in the hands of an ex-
| pert or one who thoroughly under
stood the lingering it might give melo-
| dious music.
The value of it is probably about 500
as a relic. but as an instrument the
value is very small, as there is now no
music written for it. and even at its
best it was imperfect. Mr.. Dennis is
going to figure il out and learn To play
it. although there is no book Of in
struction for it.
II was made by GautrUt III Paris but
the date of manufacture is not known.
1t is dented and a new mouthpiece Will
be necessary. The valves all leak and
! will have to be replaced before any
thing is done with the instrument. 1t
must have been made in the days
! when brass instruments We're in their
! infancy, but still when it is repaired
and polished, it will look as we'll as
! any instrument. 1t belonged to the
| family which was made famous by the
! playing of Ned Kendall, who was
! probably the greatest musician who
used the bugle and its family. He was
famous over 30 years ago, 50 the in
strument is Anticipated.

A PLEASANT MENTION

Chas. S. Hichborn Of Augusta. member
of the State Typographical survey com
mission. was in Bangor, Friday night, TO
attend meeting OF that body at the
Bangor house, though his visit was brief
Nj. Hichborn had time to speak pleas

Bangor friends.

friends, refer to him enthusiastically as
one of Names best. II don't know him

NO NEW CASES. WEDNESDAY.
Diphthsfia Epidemic Is Well in Hand and
Further Spread Is Regarded As Unlikely.

No new cases of diphtheria have APP
peared on Cushnoc Heights. where
there are eight cases. 1t has been d
couple of days since any new cases
have been reported. and it is now
hoped that the disease has been check
ed and a further spread prevented.
Rudolph Dostie and Micheal Lam
bert. the newly appointed special po-
licemeu, were sworn in. yesterday
morning. and with Special Officers
Louis Butler and Joseph Peltier have
houses to prevent the occupants from
leaving the buildings where the cases
are located.
An officer is on duty all the time at
the houses, and has as yet found but
little difficulty in keeping the people
in. AS soon as they knew they would
be arrested and severely punished
they decided they had better bow I,
the law and remain in their homes.
The health authorities feel yer!
hopeful as they did not have new
case. yesterday. They feel confident
that with the rigid measures which
have been advocated by the city gov.
eminent, all further spread can bt
prevented. Before the period of incu
baton is over however, new cases ma,
develop in the families where the dis
ease is now present. Still others ma,
have been contaminated before tn,
quarantine was rigidly enforced, ant
they may be taken ill within the mex
two weeks. This period will be al
anxious one for the residents of tina
section, but every precaution is bein,
taken.

Chainless bicycles have now been
upon the market for some time. but
until this season the average rider has
been apprehensve of them. Bicycle
men who come TO Augusta aver that
the sales of the chainless wheel this
year have been very large and show
that this model has proved satisfac-
tory and superior to the old chain
wheel. Until this year it was asserted
that the chainless wheel was not fast.
that the chain wheel was better adapt
Cd for racing and fast riding. The re-
cent record performances. of Major
Taylor and Eddie McDuffie were made
on the bevel-geared wheel. 1t is q
matter of record in the bicycle TRACE
that the public is tardy in approving
any radical change in construction put
the chainless wheel has now attained
popularity.

Mr.. Doutncy's first appearance in this
city was by invitation of the late Cover
nor Dingley. lie had been in Bucksport
the previous evening, and on his way to
Bangor the train ran off the track. The
delay was 50 great that he missed his
connection in Bangor. He started 10
drive and with one horse would go about
% miles and then would take another one
which was in waiting. He struck a Sc
we're storm about ten miles from the city
and the driver lost the road.
The horse had intelligence enough to
again find it and brought him in safety
to the city. lie had sent dispatches eN !
cry time he passed telegraph office no
tifyinG the audience OF his progress lie
arrived here at . o'clock and the Senate
chamber was well filled by the waiting
audience.
Governor Powers says Of this lecturer:
II have personally known Thos. n bout
ney quite number of years and have
listened 70 his lectures and know some
thing Of The work he is dong. He has
iectured very successfully in the town in
which ! live. regard him as a gentle
man thoroughly devoted TO the cause Of

4 L., islon Man Iumbles on from trait
Smty.iour.

Bangor rum came near furnishing
the necessary material for a coroners
inquest. in this city. Wednesday fore
noon. After train No "a. which leaves
Augusta. bound west, at ei2. had de
parted, Robert McCutcheon of Halo
well. who was cutting turf on a hill
side at the rear of the residence OF
Patrick Coughlin, on the road to Halo
well. noticed a man lying between the
east and west tracks of the Maine
Central. about opposite the site of thr
old Cony & White ice house. AS thr
man seemed to be unable TO rise Alr.
McCutcheon and others went to his as
sistance and found him to be in a
somewhat dazed condition. and con-
siderably bruised about the head and
face
1t was supposed at the time that the
train. for one shoe was found some
distance away. and his hat also. The
man was laid out in a field near by
and word was sent TO the city. Deputy
Marshal Grover went down and found
that the man. besides being affected
by the fall. manifested some symptoms
Of what is technically known as 4
jag"
The man was taken TO the station
and then TO the office of DR.. @. &. 5.
Davies, 10 have his wounds dressed
After the blood and gravel had been
washed from his head. the injuries
were found to be less serious than
first apprehended. There was a bump
and slight cut over the eyes. ind A
place on the right side of the head.
where the skin was scraped for a dis
lance of about four inches. His knees.
also. were more or less bruised. but not
seriously.
He at first seemed inclined to say
nothing about himself. but later. IN
City Marshal Morse, he gave his name
as Thomas Conley of IS Lincoln street,
Lewiston; was married, and had a
wife and two children at Lewiston.
He had been working in Bangor four
weeks. and was going over TO Lewis
ton, to the fair. In proof of his state
to the form of excursion tickets sold
on the Maine Central during fair week.
When asked how he came in such a
condition he replied that he was rid
ing on the rear platform of the smok-
err and the train lurched, throwing
him OF. That he was rolled the length
of two cars. and went over four times
he knew, because he counted each
.iua sat-
He denied being drunk. or that he
had had any rum about him. but wher
the Journal reporter asked him about
the fiat quart bottle of rum, and ar
empty bottle. that were found upor
him. he admitted that it was the truth
and that he got them in Bangor. He
would not admit being drunk how
ever, that is-very drunk. He was
kept By the officers until afternoon
and then forwarded to his destination
1t was wonder that he was not
killed. for the train must have beer
moving rapidly at that point. and the
chances of his coming out alive would
only be about one in 100. AS it was
it only was another proof of the fact
that drunken man will meet with ar
accident and come out unscathed
where q sober man would be killed 6
dozen times. had he that number a.
lives to sacrifice.
