On last Friday evening the Boston
Festival Orchestra composed of forty
members, gave one Of the finest and
most classic concerts ever given in
Knoxville-so says the 'Journal &
Tribune" The Maryville delegation,
consisting Of Misses Leila Perine,
Amanda Andrews and Martha Board
man, were met at the depot by "spec-
ial committee" and after escaping
several interviews with news report
ers, reached their hotel in ''peace
and safety" They appreciated the
musical treat as only lovers of music
can, and returned ON Saturday with
sweet strains of music still ringing i'll
their ears.
Maryville people will soon have the
rare opportunity Of hearing very
classic concert given by the famous
Schubert Quartette, of Chicago. 1t
will be concert that can be enjoyed
and appreciated by all lovers of mu-
sic. The Schuberts will give their
concert in the College Chapel on
Wednesday evening May 10Th. at s
o'clock. The Schuberts have recent
ly made an extended trip through the
North and South and have received
greater applause and a larger hearing
than ever before. Maryville should
feel highly complimented to have tn:
opportunity to hear such accomplish
ed singers. Their reputation is al
most worldwide. Such a famous
Quartette as the Schuberts seldome
stops at as small place as Maryville.
So our people should appreciate TIE
honor and privilege and enjoy this
rare musical treat on Wednesday,
May 10.

The Mountain Grays and the Nc
Colmicks met on our diamond last
Friday and Saturday for series of
two games. The game on Friday
was fairly good. Dunn pitched for
the Grays and Everett for Maryville.
Score of first game: 7 and in favor
of Maryville.
Everybody was waiting in suspense
to see the game on Saturday, for Will
ey Davis pitched this game for the
Grays. This indeed was the best
game that has been played in Mary
vile this season. During the first
two Einnings neither team scored.
The teams were almost equally bal
anced as regards to batteries. Our
little Hockey sustained his good rep.
utation and smashed as many as Da-
Wis. AT the beginning Of the seventh
inning the score was; Maryville 4;
Mountain Grays 2. There were
some excellent plays made on the
Maryvllle side during the game.
Bartlett made one exceptional fine
pickup, and caught fine fly. The
battery did excellent work during the
whole game. The score was increas-
ed two tallies on both sides by errors.
With these exceptions it was a first
class egame. The Mountain Grays
play clean ball and are all gentlemen.
Our boys like to play with men who
can play ball and who can act the
gentlemen as well.

AFTER 25 YEARS.
Happy Married Life of MIR. anG Mrs
George H. Willard.

Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Willard of
40 Hollywood street passed the 25th
anniversary of the wedding yesterday.
There was nothing in the way of for
NAL celebration further than gath
ering of their children and the con-
gratulations of friends who happened
to drop in and wish them many happy
returns of the daY.
George H. Willard and Miss Lizzie
70. Lucas, daughter Of James Lucas,
were married November rs, 1874, by the
Rev. T. e. st, John, at that time pas
tor of First Universalist church. The
wedding was quiet affair and took
place at the home of the bride in South
Worcester. Most of their welded life
has been spent in Worcester, with the
exception of two years, when Mr.. VIII
lard was engaged in real estate bus
mess near Pasadena, Cal. Since his
return east, Mr.. Willard has been in
the employ of Clemence & Searles un-
iii the Flexible Door and Shutter Conn
pany was formed, when he went into
this department. Three children have
blessed the union, and it was their
wish to have something in the way OF
formal celebration tonight, but Mr.
and Mrs. Willard preferred to allow
the day to pass quietly.

RUMOR OF BERG'S CHANCES.
The Contest For Alderman
Promises to Be
Lively.

There was rumor afloat yesterday
in effect that something in the wav of
surprise might be sprung in the re-
publican municipal convention which is
called to order il party headquarters
at 10 o'clock this morning. One of
the most interesting stories on the
street was that the name of Gustaf
l.. Berg will be presented in the CON
vention this morning, and that as the
result Of a little missionary work, ward
5 might be represented on the ticket
Whatever may be in the wind. several
run -togethers CT delegates are sched-
uled previous to the convention this
morning, and it is not unlikely that
something outside the expected may
develop.
A prominent ward man, in speaking
of the situation yesterday, said; 81 con .
slider that the nomination of Mr.. Berg
would mean more in the way of holding
ward in the republican column than
anything that can be done 1t would
insure big republican vote, and. in
my estimation, would mean the cleo
tion Of the entire ward delegation. A
big effort is being made to land Mr.
Bragg and Mr.. Clee, and make the
ward representation in the common
council republican If the convention
gives US a candidate for the r. upper
board, there is no doubt in my mind
but that we will elect our councilman
and a representative in the school com
mittee'
There is a diversity of opinion among
certain delegates as to who will go on
the ticket. One faction claims that
Charles A. Vaughan, Sanford c. Ken
dali, John r. Back Fred D. Johnson
and Louis ]. Kendall are the men prac-
tically sure of landing safely, with the
contest for the sixth place between H.
Augustus Harrington of ward and
w Levi Bousquet of ward T.
Still others. and they seem in the ma
jority, say Mr.. Harrington is a sure
candidate. and that the fight will be
between the nominees from wards and
I. With the introduction of Mr.. Berg
another complication will be added
which may or may not be obviated be-
fore the convention is called to order.
Then, again, there is a strong rumor
going that Frederick w White, presi-
dent oS the common council, will be
nominated in the convention. The
ward l delegates are pledged to Chas
A. Vaughan, and while there may be
some sentiment in favor of Mr. White
it is not general.
Whatever the outcome, there is more
prospect of an interesting convention
than has appeared on the surface up to
the present time.

Will Deliver install
lation Sermon
Tonight.
SENATOR HOAR WILL SPEAK
And Rev, F. L. Phalen En-
tiers Church of the
Unity.

Tonight the installation of Rev.
Frank l.. Phalen will be observed at
the Church of the Unity, 1t will be
one of the most impressive services of
it's kind ever held in Worcester.
The first pastor of the church, Rev
DR.. Edward Everett Hale, will give the
sermon. Other divipes who have been
connected with the church in the past
will take part in the exercises.
The whole service will be of unusual
interest, and the name of DIR. Hale will
draw many outsiders to bear the most
distinguished Unitarian minister in the
United States. The noted author and
clergyman will be entertained by SEN
ator and Mrs. Hoar during his stay in
Worcester. Another minister of ma
tional reputation who will take part
in the service is Rev. Samuel A. Eliot
the son of President Eliot of Harvard
He is the secretary of the American
Unitarian Association, and is one of the
leaders in the denomination.
The address of welcome will be given
by Senator George F. Hoar, who has
been connected with the church from
it's early days.
Rev. Rush R. Shipper and wife will be
entertained by Mrs. w. w. Rice to-
night, and Rev. DR.. Calvin Stebbins
will stay at the home of Mrs. Walter
Richmond.
Since the advent of Rev. Mr.. Phalen
as pastor of the Church of the Unity,
it is gratifying to note the increase in
attendance and the warm spirit of zeal
shown in the work of the parish. The
new pastor is very popular with the
young people of the church, and al! who
are vitality interested in the welfare of
this historical old church are well
pleased in their choice of a leader in
the social side of the church, and a
minister of consecrated purpose and
marked ability as speaker.
After the ceremony of installation is
concluded a reception will be given to
the former pastors of the church, in
the parish parlors. The program for

THE FIRE DANCER.
Miss Ida Fuller is An Interesting Per-
sonaae and Has Had An interest
inc Career.

Miss Ida Fuller is An interesting Per-
sonaqe and Has Had An interest
ing Career.
Miss Ida Fuller, the fire dancer, who
appears at the Park theatre, is one of
the widest-traveled vaudeville artists
now in America. She is a sister Of La
Loie Fuller, who was the first to pre-
sent the fire dance on the stage and
who is now in Paris. Miss Ida Fuller
at first spent most of her time assist
ing her sister, and for time they
danced together. During the last few
years. however, she has been dancing
alone, and has visited nearly all the
important European theatres. She has
only just returned from Germany,
where she has been for two years. She
talked most interestingly with The Spy
man last night about the places she has
been and the amusing things she has
seen in her wanderings over the con-
tinent.
In 1895 she was in Madrid, Spain, at
the time of the beginning of the Cuban
revolution. During one of her dances
she exhibited the American flag, and
it was Kissed, and when she went to
Barcelona to the United States consul,
she was advised to keep the flag hid
den until the trouble was over. In the
scrap book which she has kept, one of
the most Interesting things is a pro-
gram of the official Russian theatre in
Warsaw. Miss Fuller's name appears
in large letters in Polish and Russian
and the program has on it the govern
ment seal, which makes it practically
a passport to any part of the empire.
In Christiania, Norway, she was aston
ished to see the audience renting blan-
kets during one performance in August,
and learned that 1t was a custom there,
just as the purchase Of fans at a cir
Gus performance is in this country.
She knows something of the language
of each country she has visited, and is
a most delightful conversationalist.
The dance she puts on in Worcester
is new this season. In fact, it has been
presented only twice in America One
of the effects is that of mammoth bon
fire on the stage. which she invented
and had patented only a few weeks
ago. The spark effect which she uses
came to her one night while she was in
the west She was dancing on an
open stage and the electric lights had
attracted great many bugs. After the
performance. her friends asked for an
explanation of the effect, and now. as
she can't carry around a lot of bugs,
she has something else to take their
places. The apparatus she uses in her
dances weighs nearly a ton. and II
takes two experienced electricians and
eight other men to manage it,

The cause of Saturday nights fire at
Charles ]. Pearson's store at $50 Main
