FESTIVAL PLANS.
Bangor Already Making Arrangements fol
for Octcber's Musical Event.

The Eastern Maine Festival com
mittee, of which Hon. +. @. Beal of
Bangor. is the chairman, has already
begun its preliminary plans for the
concerts to be given in that city under
Mr.. Chapman's direction next October.
While the date is yet very early, ar
rangements are already being made
for the accommodation Of the vast
number of visitors who will be in the
city and for the seating of the crowds
who will throng the Auditorium.
The feature of the festival of this
year, from the financial point of view.
will be the scale of low prices adopted
by the eastern committee as a result
of a long conference at which this i'm
portant matter was fully discussed. 1t
is believed that Maine is better suited
To Il low scale of prices than the larger
states where it has long been the GUS
tom to demand and receive eXtraor-
dinariiy lofty sums for the privilege cf
hearing such eminent musicians as Will
appear in Bangor in October. The
Bangor committee also felt that as the
festival should stand for an ideal as the
chief educational institution of its kind
in the State. its cost should b" placed
on such a level as to make entrance to
il easy for all sorts of people.
Thus tickets for the entire course of
five concerts. with Mines. Schumann-
Heink. Blauvclt. Campanari. Burmeis-
ter ana FfrangCOn Davies. besides the
Maine Symphony orchestra, will cost
only about s.. while the most expensive
single ticket will be sold at s.. The
matinee concerts this year. are to be
as good as those at night. and on as
elaborate a scale and there can be no
further complaint that prices are on a
New York scale for an enterprise de
pendent for support on the purses Of
Maine people.
Mr. Chapman is now in Maine on his
final tour of rehearsal with the chorus
es prior to the summer recess.

Obituary..

Last Monday John w. Tibben
died at his home, in Audubon town
ship, having just eaten hearty
supper. The deceased was born IN
Northern Germany, and came to
America in 1880. He married Miss
Schwenneker and four boys and
three girls have come to brighten
their home and help to smooth the
thorny paths of age. One of the
gin has gone to her reward beyond.
Years of industry and frugality
had procured for him three humid
red and forty acres of productive
land, as the fruitage OF his and his
families labors. The harvest of
deeds of love, of charity and good
works is friends steadfast and true,
and the life of the deceased was of
such character. Man, though dead,
lives yet in the heart of his friends
and memory, the storehouse of
human sunshine, locks in it's por
tails the acts, the deeds, the pur-
poses of loved ones gone. to recall
them only in sacred moments when
they live again the past. The fune-
raj services were held at the home,
on Thursday, conducted by Rev.
Cloeter, after which the deceased
was laid to rest, by loving hands, in
the Schwenneker Cemetery.

he Got the Can.

Several years ago Colonel Jack Chinn
visited Texas. He brought with him
negro valet, Sam. This negro had
been a slave in the Chinn family be-
fore the war began in the states and
idolized his young master. One night
while in Houston the darby came to
Chinn and said:
"Massa Jack, I'ze goin out in cullud
society heah tonight, an I'd like to bor-
row dat ivory handled six shooter of
yours to take along
why. you black rascal" returned
the colonel, ''some OF these Houston
coons will take that gun away from
you and break 1t over your head.'
The darby Strengthened up Like his
master, he was Il man of unQuestioned
nerve, ard there was peculiar glitter
in his eye as he said:
"MaSsa Jack, you let me hab dat gun
an if l don't show up heah wild hit in
de mawnin YOU can so down to de
morgue an throw down de sheet an
say, 'Lawd, don't he look nacherlr"
Colonel Chnn's body servant was
that night armed in Il manner that en-
titled him to move in the best circles

The Tale of a Cake.

An east end car was loaded down
with shoppers, mostly women, for it
was in the middle Of the afternoon.
Conversation was proceeding at great
rate. 1t was like pink tea or ses-
sion of the sewing circle. But all at
once hush fell over the fair chatter
ers. A negro lad entered, bearing in
his arms an immense cake three or
four decks high and frosted over from
pit to dome, as they say of 4 theater.
There was a profusion of flowers by
way of decoration, and delicate tracer
les of gauzy lace completed the en-
bellishments. The cake was so large
that the negro could scarcely carry it.
The cake told the whole story of the
wedding, che bridesmaids, the orange
flowers, the flower girls and the ban
quet afterward. Every feminine heart
in that street car was a-dutter as it's
owner gazed speechlessly upon the
evidence Of a wedding to be.
Finally, when the car stopped to let
on another passenger and everything
was very still, one lady took courage
to ask the negro where the wedding
was going to be.
"Whut weddin?" asked the negro, his
eyes protruding.
"The wedding that cake is for"
s'Dis amt no weddin cake"
"No?"
"No'm. Dis yere's err cake walk
cake"
There was smile that reached from
one end Of the car to the other, and
very soon conversation was resumed
as before-AIemphis Scimitar.

Owing to Sultan's BAD Faith Diplomatic
Relations May BE Broken or.
WASHINGTON, April lS.-There is no
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between the United States and
Turkey are i'll Il critical state, growing
out of the sultan's bad faith. He prom
ised to pay the indemnity claims of the
American missionaries for the destruc-
ton of eight buildings of the Euphrates
colleges at Harpoot and several build
ings belonging to the American mis-
sionaries at Marash during the Arme-
MAN massacres of 1895. Although 16
months have elapsed since the promise
was first made, it still remains unful-
filed. What action the government
will now take to enforce the sultan s
promise is not definitely known, but, as
the situation is critical, it may result in
Secretary Hay sending the Turkish min
lister at Washington his passports.

CATCHING SMELLS.
How the Little Fish Are Hooked
Through the Ice.


The smelts are all caught with hook
and line, says the Bangor Commercial.
Taking them otherwise, such as by
seine. would be regarded by the fisher
men here as great wrong. The fish
ing is all done In tents, the tents being
about six feet long, five feet wide and
high enough for man to stand up in
them.
These tents are covered with cloth,
heated by stove and lighted usually
by Il lantern. l have known the tenn
perature of my tent to vary, however,
60 degrees within ten minutes during a
cold day.
A hole about six feet long and eight
inches wide is cut in the ice and the
tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines
attached to a pole fastened to the
plates Of the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart. These lines
during fishing hours are always kept in
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and
slat smelts, when, as they say, they
are taking holt" is certainly wonder
full. | have known one man to catch
100 pounds in less than one hour This
means at least 1000 fish, or about II
minute. One smelter has been known
to catch 500 pounds during one tides
fishing.
Some have made $50 to $50 day and
others 5000 in few weeks. But these
big catches are only made by those ex-
pert in fishing. The chances are that
a green hand would starve the first
winter if dependent wholly on what
fish he caught.

We clip the following from the
Sunday Iowa State Register which
is a strong indication that Audu-
bon county will never see the return
of the saloons until another petit
ton with sufficient names is secur-
ed. From the decision given by the
Supreme Court there is no question
but the decision of the District
Court ofthis county will be affirmed
and that the petition, as canvassed
by the Board of Supervisors will be
held insufficient, in as much as the
signers had right to withdraw
their names from the petitions:
The Supreme Court on Saturday
held the Fayette county saloon pc
tition insufficient. sustaining the
decision of Judge l.. E. Fellows.
portant mooted points as to the
sutficiency of petitions of this char
acter and their treatment by the
court, as follows:
FIRST. That the signers have a
right to withdraw their names from
the petition until the Supervisors
declare the petition sufficient or not
sufficient, not being barred from
withdrawing at any time prior to
the end of the ten days the Board
spends canvassing the petition.
! SECOND That this class OF cases
may be tried to the Court and not a
jury.
THIRD. That it is the duty of the
County Attorney to appear against
the petitions in whatever contest
in court over their sufficiency."
