The Future Of the Music Festivals.

The Maine music festivals cannot BE-
held indefinitely with a deficit eacf
year. but in spite of the financial dis
couragement Of last season and thi.
season. Director Chapman and the
management of the respective associa-
tions and choruses are going ahead
with plans for next fall We hope thai
the festival of 1900 may have n financial
success commensurate with its artistic
success, Il condition that has hitherto
fallen far short of being realized
These festivals have worked wonders
for music in Maine and it would be a
great shame to have them given up
They have aroused a new interest III
the art in all parts of the state, ana
have educated the people up to an ap-
probation of what is best in it. Every
city has felt in many ways the ad-
yan.aces of a chorus in its midst, we'll
trained and constantly at work. lhese
choruses with Il larger membership
than ever are already getting to work
with energy and enthusiasm for the
festival Of year hence.
What can be done to ensure the
| financial success of next years fes-
tival? A. guarantee fund is proposed,
bv the size Of which the character and
scoDe of the festival are to be deter
mined The presence of the festival in
Bangor and Portland means much to
those cities, and it is to be hoped that
n can continue to be held in both cities
as hitherto Ii would seem that the
great expense of noted artists might be
curtailed, and greater stress laid upon
the work of the chorus and orchestra
which have grown more and more in
public favor. metropolitan prices for
seats are not wholly popular in Maine
cities and everything should be done to
make the festivals popular successes
before crowded auditoriums. As Presi-
dent Beal said in Bangor the garment
must be cut according to the cloth

Lewiston Journal who wrote up the
recent initiation Of the Colby chapter
Of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity,
made some statements that will be
surprising. to say the least, to the
members of the. fraternity. For in
stance. he spoke of the chapter as the
"Chi chapter" when this chapter is
located at the University of Missis-
sippi, the Colby chapter being the Xxi
chapter" In referring to the founding
of the fraternity at Yale in 1874, he
said 1t was founded by ''15 men who
We're unable to make Psi UpSilon." !"
This Will be news to those acquainted
with the story Of Delta Kappa Epsi-
Ions origin, as the statement is far re-
moved from the truth. The cores
pondent admits that it is the largest
fraternity Of Eastern origin, but says
that many others in the West and
South have a larger membership. an
other mis-statement. Perhaps the
correspondent erred through honest
ignorance. but we suspect it was some

rival fraternity. who wanted to get

Men do not like to go to doctors. Nine
times out of ten they wait until they are
laid flat OH their backs before they will
consult physician There is some reason
in this, for when business man feels out
of sorts and goes to physician, he is often
given violent drugs that make him, tor
time, unfit for business and really SICK.
There is a way of avoiding both extremes
that of neglecting the health and that of
taking violent drugs that rack the entire
system-it is always to keep on hand a
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. If man will resort to this great
medicine whenever he feels that he IS out
of sorts and threatened with illness, he
may keep in good health. 1t is the great
appetite sharpener, blood maker and flesh
builder 1t fills the arteries with the rich
red, tissue building blood of health 1t

Bryan's Anti Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The New York Mail and Express
publishes an anti-Thanksgiving proc
lamation by William ]. Bryan which is
worthy of careful reading. It may be
that Mr.. Bryan hasn't actually issued
this document, but it embodies his
thoughts if not his words, ana the
spirit OF modern Democracy breathes
in every line. Paste it in your hat side
by side with the Thanksgiving procla-
nation of President Mckinley, and you
get political comparison that is not
at all unfair or exaggerated. This is
the style in which the perpetual can
didaIc Of the Platte addresses his
faithful followers:
"Prcsident Mckinley having had the
cffrontcry- with The obvious intent Of
| hurting my f-eiings-to appoint the
30th day of November a day of general
thanksgiving. | hereby call upon all
Eryanitcs to disregard his proclamation
and to spend the day in fasting and

1t is very plain that the York Cour-

doubt if he ever saw a game, judging
from the grotesque way in which he
sermoniZes in a recent issue. He says:
ITO such an extent has the American
college degenerated that the honors
are no longer bestowed with regard 10
superiority in scholarship. but they gc
to the football slugger who whips his
opponent. Some of us think they could
employ their strength more creditably
by remaining on the farm to assist
their fathers in bucking the boulders
on the five-yard line of the potato
patch or in kicking goals from the
cornfield. If this pace is kept up, how
long will it be before the intellectual
training is dropped altogether from the
curriculum, and the colleges become
full-tledsed sporting clubs?"
