Randolph Musical Festival.

The musical festival at Randolph Novem-
Der no. under the direction of II. g, Blsis-
dell WAS a very successful and enjoyable
occasion. The chorus numbered nearly
one hundred and fifty and was well baanc-
ed, an excellent tenor, more so than is often
met, and a more than usually strong and
vigorous bass, while the treble aud alto
were good
There seemed less of shrking in the cho-
rus than is often seen, the members were
promptly in their places and taking hold
with will Mr.. Blaisdell had less crili-
cism TO find with the chorus than has some-
times been the case in some of his festivals,
perhaps less cause for it. The pianist, Miss
Page of Laconia n. H., was excellent,
prompt, never at loss, her execution well
nigh perfect.
Beedle's orchestra was excellent It is
seldom the brasses are heard played in such
good taste. Mr. Barker played his coruet
with nicely, not as il he were trying to
"bust" his instrument, and the others were
in like form. The soloists, Mr. Gorrell,
basso and Mr. Finel, tenor were very good.
Mr. Gorrell's voice is first class--of the robuS-
TO quality. Mr.. Finel's of pure quality, his
singing correct, but perhaps little more
spirit would give better impression.
Miss era of Boston was solo Soprano
high register and excellent execution, but
30 much of the "sympathetic tremelo" as to
seriously mar the en- Joy ment of her singing
Many enjoyed the singing of Miss Blanche
Sparhawk, Randolph girl, better than
Miss Crafts, from the fact of Miss Crafts
excessive tremelo. Size probably never
read Charles Reads vigorous characteriza-
ton OF such singing and his just approval
OF the firm, even tones. But suppose it is
fashionable to quiver, 30 it's no use talking,
Miss Sparhawk has future before her in
music II she doesn't spoil herself with too
much fashionable training.
Mr.. Williams, the entertainer" Impress
| ed me as not of extraordinary excellence
and that was the verdict often heard ex.
pressed, though he received several encores.
| Two rehearsals daily, Wednesday evening,
promenade concert, Thursday and Friday
| afternoons matinees, concerts Thursday
| and Friday evenings, the latter presenting
the oratorio "The Crusaders" by Code. Al
the matinee Thursday the school children,
| two undred and fifty in number, came in
and sang a couple of pieces very nicely.
The house was full at both maiinees and
one instrument deserves special note, the
double bass played by ii. l.. Beedle, which
Is a genuine Amati, the great maker of vio-
! lins. He made three OF these basses, this
being one Of them, the date being about
| 1850. This instrument was PLAYED by Mr..
| Greene in the Symphony orchestra for more
| than forty years. 1t is insured for So 00C
and il valued at twice that sum,
Why are there not more such festivals?
| The conventions of thirty or forty years age
were much more frtqnent, and more atten-
| ton then given 10 music. They were pleas
ant and profitable. Why not have more OF
them now?

News From Cold Storage.

On Thursday the JOURNALS dispatches
contained the news of General Wheaton's
landing at San Fabian on Lingayen hay. at
the north end of the railway from Manila,
in the rear OF Aguinaldo s army, OF the
brisk fight with the insurgents, the charg
and, as usual, their retreat after firing a
few volleys. BY Saturday night the contem-
news apparently from cold storage in Bos-
ton, New York or Bear Swamp and spread
IL with scare head lines through column
or so OF space, as something entirely new
But, wonderful to relate, the enterprising
contemporary had IL that the Americans
bad taken San Francisco, an event almost
contemporaneous with the taking of Hol-
land by the Dutch. The contemporary is
apt to take news after it is so old people
have forgotten all about it and then spring
it on gullible public az something brand,
span new, hot from the live wire.

Alice Maud Baird.

The death of Miss Alice Maud Baird
occurred Friday afternoon at the home Of
o. &. Wiley on East State street
Miss Baird was twenty-four years old
and was i'll only week, with typhoid pneu-
daughter Of James and Ellen Baird. Her
father died about year ago, but her mother
was with her when the end came.
Since September 1898 Miss Baird had been
teacher in the primary department of the
Union school The members OF the school
board bear strong testimony to her effici
ency and fathfnlness as a teacher, while
her many graces and excelences OF char
acter, and her winning personality made
friends for her wherever she was known
The little ones who have been under her
forming hand refuse to be comforted in
their sorrow for the loss Of their beloved
teacher.
"The light of her young life went down
As SINKS behind the hill,
The glory of a setting star,
Clear, sndO enly aud still"
In Watsheld, where her girlhood life was
passed, comes an expression of profound
sorrow for her early death and tender sym.
pathy for her aged mother in her loneliness
and feeble health.
Miss Baird was a graduate of the Ran
dolph High school, and had been two years
at the New England Conservatory OF
Music, Boston, where her rare talents gave
promise Of distinction.

AFFAIRS OF LABOR AND WAGES
Restoration of Former Schedules and
Advances in Eastern Mills-De-
mand Better Pay.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 27.-The
promised restoration at the Pacific worsted
and Gotten mills in this city went into effect
today, about 5000 employees being affected.
1t is understood that the increase is about
10 per cent.
AT the Atlantic mills the restoration also
went into effect today. This company en-
ploys about 100 persons. The amount of
increase varies in the different departments.
PITTSFIELD, n. H., March 27.-The re-
duction made in wages at the Pittsfield
cotton mills in January, 1898, was restored
today when a new price list went into effect.
The increase averages about 10 per cent and
affects 300 hands.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., March 27.-Employes
of furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenango
valleys today gave notice that If they are
not granted 10 per cent advance by May
l. a general strike will be inaugurated.
CLEVELAND, o., March 27.-The i'm
mense works of the United Salt company,
at the foot of Madison avenue, are closed
as the result OF a strike OF 200 laborers.
They demand $l.50 per day.

supply trains and artillery. Major Sinp-
son, who was on the staff of General Greene
at Manila and is personally familiar with
the surrounding country, says that besides
the difficulty OF burned bridges the roads at
their bess are almost impossible for light
artillery and the quick maneuvers of cav
airy. Our light field guns can be moved
forward slowly, but 1t Is impossible to so
manipulate them as to take advantage OF
every crest and rise Of ground. The only
horses available for the cavalry and artil-
lery are the small native ponies.
AguinnIdo Mny Make Last stand.
The interest of today centers in the stand
to be made by Aguinaldo with his insurgent
forces. There is hope that he will risk a
final stand at Maloos. In that event the
next forty eight hours should determine the
final issue, as the American forces at
Marialao are not more than ten miles from
Maoos. Between these places the scat
tered forces are engaged the extreme rear
of the insurgent troops and the extreme
advance OF the Americans bearing the brunt.
While this is going on, fifteen or twenty
miles north of Manila, General Otis dis
patches show that the insurgents are again
active south of Manila, where Major Cen
eral Lawton's division is in reserve. Cen
eral Otis report shows no concern as to
this southern movement as he remarks that
"Lawton will look out for them"

STAND OF THE REAR GUARD
One Thousand Filipinos Make Des-
peratc Resistnnce Behind Strong
Entertainments.

MANILA, March 27--7:4O p. m-One
thousand Filipnos, composing the rear
guard of the rebel army which is retreating
ON Malolos. Aguinaldo's headquarters, made
a stand today in some strong entertainments
about Marilao, across the Marilao river. In
the engagement six Americans were killed,
including three officers and forty were
wounded.
The American forces advanced from Me-
yoauyan, the brigade commanded by General
Harrison Gray Otis being on the left of the
railroad, and General Hale's on the right
They eventually discerned white roofs and
steeples among the green trees beyond the
river, looking not unlike a Massachusetts
village. The rebels had an unfordable river
in front Of them and they poured In fire
so effective that it showed that they were
veterans, probably members of the native
militia, which the Spaniards organized.
The American artillery put a dramatic end
to the battle. Approaching under cover of
the bushes to about sixty yards from the
trenches, the artilerymen emerged upon an
open space commanding the town. When
the Americans appeared they gave a great
yell and the Filipinos were panic stricken
about 100 seeking safety in flight, while a
white flag was raised by these who were in
the trenches, WHO also shouted Amigos"
(Friends).

the act OF April &C. 1895 which authorized
the increase of the regular army. Mr.. Trace
well says
The enlisted men referred to in the act
are undoubtedly those who are authorized
to be added to the regular army by the act
of April &C. 1898, and as supplemental
thereto, in order to bring the enlisted
strength of the army up to its authorized
strength in time of war. and who are to
be discharged at the end of the war In pur-
suance of the law which authorized their en-
listment, in order to reduce the army to
peace basis. The enlisted men. therefore,
after the declaration of war, on orders for
the increase of the army, who were neces-
sary to increase and maintain the army
above its peace basis, and who should be
discharged under the act of April &c, 1898,
constitute the class of enlisted men of the
regular army entitled to the benefits Of
extra pay on discharge, II discharged in pur-
suGnce of the law authorizing their enlist
ment. The case mighp be different where
such men elect to remain in the service after
the war, to serve out the full term Of three
years for which they nominally enlisted ana
are then discharged. But that question is
not presented aud Is not discussed.
According to the ruling OF the comptroller
no soldier who enlisted prior to the act OF
April 26 is entitled to extra pay, no matter
what inducements might have been offered
him in the way of promising his discharge
at the close of the war, which was generally
known to be pending.
