With it's third annual music festival next May Birmingham will establish beyond ouestion its reputation as festival city. Public-spirited citizens are quick to sub scribe the necessary guarantee money, the chorus is always eager to do its part, ana the music lovers never fail to show their appreciation of the efforts of the festival management. In Birmingham, England, the greatest of all festivals is held trienni- ally. The Cincinnati festivals are held bi- ennially Both the triennal and biennial events cover nearly a week and include six or seven concerts. The annual festival, consisting of two evening performances and one matinee is much more satisfactory, as a rule, than the~long- -drawn-out affairs. The most ardent devotees of music become weary-physically weary, if not musicaliy tired-when they undertake to attend more than three or four concers in one week; whereas every person who cares for music at all will easily keep up festival enthusi- asm through three performances. This city does well, therefore, to stick to the once-a- year plan, with a two days limit. In this way the public becomes accustomed to looking forward to the festivals, knowing all the while that they will not be tedious.
 Birminghams first festival, given in May, 1899, was brilliant achievement, and was financially successful. The one last year was also brilliant but the forthcoming af- fair will far surpass the former festivals. In the first two the orchestra from Boston numbered only forty pieces, and was not strictly first-cass in quality, although 1t was the best available on those occasions This year we are to have Theodore Thomas with his full Chicago orchestra-between axsfo nd is easily the foremost symphony band in the United States Thomas is to bring with him four or five hgh-olass vocal artists, and the festival chorus, under MT. Gucken- berger, is to be considerably augmented. The programmes have not yet been ar

IN SOME CASES
A Single Package of the Pyramid Pile
 Cure is Sufficient to Cure.

This may seem a broad statement when it is remembered that few diseases art so obstinate to really cure as piles; some phy- skians going far as to say that pain full surgical operation is the only r''''r'-= nent cure, but the many and remarkable cu1~s iudue Dy the LyIamld Eie ~"- .'4 the past few years have proven that sur6i- cal operations are no longer necessary, and that it is by far the safest and most relia- ble remedy yet discovered for this common and often dangerous trouble.
 The harmless acids and healing oils con- tained in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause the blood vessels to contract to natural con dtion and the little tumors are absorbed and the cure is made without pain, incon- venience or detention from business"
 Dr. Williams, a prominent orifieial sur geon says: Tt is the duty of every sur geon to avoid an operation if possible to cure in any other way, and after many trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure l unhes- itating1y recommend it in preference to an operation"
 MT Phil Owens of South Omaha writes that after suffering two years from an ag- eravated case of itching and protruding niles he was cured by single 60 cent pack age of the Pyramid Pile Cure, purchased .o.n a local druggist. He says "I fully expected the trouble would return. but am happy to say for the past year and a half have been entirtly free from the disease and I can not speak too warmly In favor of the Pyramid Pile Cure"
 A bill clerk ii one of the large wholesale houses of St. Louis, says: My occupation as billing clerk was so confning and se- dentary that 1t finally brought on an aggra- vated attack of rectal trouble, which my physician diagnosed as itching and protrud- ing piles and recommended a salve which he prepared and which gave me some re- lief for few hours after using and then the trouble would come back as bad as ever: one of the other clerks advised me to try, the Pyramid Pile Cure and I now feel like thanking him every day for recom- mending 1t, as a single 50 cent package cured me and have had no trace of piles since something over six months"
 Hundreds of pile sufferers who had al most decided to undergo the pain and dan ger, of an operation have been astonished to find that the Pyramid Pile Cure, which can be purchased at any drug store, was far safer, better and more effective than an operation could possibly be-

CROKER IS WATCHING.
Says Many Things are Attributed tc
 Him Which are Untrue.

London, February 9.-'I am keeping careful watch on American affairs" said Richard Croker in the course of an inter- view with a representative of the Asso- ciated Press today, but I have no inten- tion of talking to the American press of political affairs at home. There have been many things attributed to me which are entirely untrue, but I have no need to rush into print to reply to them.
 Governor Odell has been saying many things about the necessity for purity of the American politics, but those who have watched the panorama of New York af- fairs are quite competent to judge whether his party or mine has produced the best re- suits
 T propose to be England at opening of the racing season, and l believe there is good chance for American subjects if they act sportsman-ike lines.
 "I notice all sorts of stories have been published about my income tax; but those interested can rest assured that l have never been taxed over f120. so my place at Vantage costs little more than hundred year. The events of the past fortnight in England have been of intense interest to me. 1 am confident England has not suf- fered loss by the acce ssion of the King. The fact is that a manly head of the gov ernment must give the Empire more virile tone, which must nure to the nations ben eft.
 q have been much interested in the re- cent caoias about American trusts. Every one knows I opposed to all their efforts to concentrate capital in single hands. However, I am more interested in horses and dogs at present than anything else, and must decline to be interviewed on Amer ican politics on this side of the water"

ranged, but they certainly to be full of variety and to have high artistic value.
 Up to fifteen or sixteen years ago the Thomas orchestra, then in New York, was the only first-class symphony organization in America Then came the Boston Sym phony, made up of artists especially lected for 1t in Europe It was the first orchestra endowed in this country, and 1t was endowed by one man-Colonel Higgln- son. It was superb orchestra from tho start and there IS little danger of it ever deteriorating, for it has long since been easily self-supporting. When Thomas re- moved from New York to Chicago a few years ago he took charge of the Chicago Orchestra, which richly backed by q number of liberal citizens. It was the sec ond endowed orchestra in the United States. Today there are five or six first class symphony bands generously endowed, and the Philharmonic of New York, good but not great, is not one of them. Next to the Chicago Orchestra, or, as some claim, equal to it in excellence, is the Bos- ton Symphony. The third in rank is the Pittsburg Orchestra, led by Victor Her bert who Is recognized one of the fore most musicians in America. After Pitts burg comes the New York Philharmonic, and the next honors seem divided between Buffalo and Kansas City. But with all the endowments and all the fine material in the different orchestras, Chicago can never be quite equalled so long as Theodore Thomas lives to waive his wand.
 Sousa says he expects soon to begin a mass and make it the most ambitious work of his life.
 Miss Margaret Clarkson, whose fresh, beautiful soprano voice is the talk of mu- sical Birmingham just now, will be one of the choir attractions at the First Metho- dist church today.
 The Catholic and Episcopal choirs will soon begin to practice Easter music. St. Paul's choir will probably have it's first rehearsal for Easter next Friday night.

HARRISON REFUSED.
Would Not Sign Petition to Erect Monu.
 ment at Tippecanoe.

Indianapolis, Ind, February. - Ex-Presi- dent Harrison today declined to sign the petition that is being circulated asking Congress to appropriate 5000 to erect a monument on Tippecanoe battle field, the scene of William Henry Harrison's victory November z, 1871.
 General Harrison said the popular move ment to erect a monument on the field in memory of the patriots who lost their lives under his grandfather's leadership was commendable and patriotic, and personal 1y, he would like to see it succeed. But he had uniformly declined to sign all petitions to Congress, and in this case he felt that 1t would be indelicate for him to sign on account of the prominence of his ancestor in the battle.

REPORT SEVERELY
 SCORES HAVING
Congressional Committee Says Fights at West Point is
 Felony Under Statutes

Washington, February 9.-The report of the special Congressional committee, which investigated the hazing of Cadet Booz and the general charge of hazing atsWest Point, today was submitted to the House of Rep resentatives by the chairman of the com mittee, Representative Dick, together with a bill making stringent regulations against hazing, fighting and all brutal practices.
 The report is an exhaustive review of the pracuce of haZing in all It's forms, and while moderate in tone 1t Is nevertheless a stinging arraignment of the alleged brutal practice. It specifics more than 100 distinct methods of annoying and harassing fourth class men, and describes the tactics adopt ed It says the West Point code is entire ly too vicious.
 The committee held that fighting is the worst form of hazing. The report says that such fighting as that at West Point is a felony against the statutes of many states and the time has come when Con gress must decide whether fights, which are high crimes elsewhere, shall continue at West Point
 Arthur, Breth and Burton were hazed into convulsions, others were hazed until some fainted and others became i'll.
 The hazing of Cadets Booz and Breth are elaborately treated, but the committee does not attribute their deaths directly to haz- ing. The report adds: But while we can not fix upon haZing the responsibility for these two deaths and the blot it throws on the otherwise fair and glorious fame or the Academy, it's conflict with proper training and discipline, and unfitness in this new century, urges the adoption of reasonable, yet we believe effective measures, for its eradication, and the promotion of discipline at the Academy
 The bill submitted contains eleven sec tions against hazing, and provides means for it's detection and punishment. Dismissal is provided for taking part in d fight or a challenge directly or indirectly ,or from any form of annoying, harrassing or brac- ing of cadets Cadets dismissed are made ineligible to appointment to the army navy or marine corps. Provision is made for courts of inquiry, courtmartial, closer asso- citation between officers and cadets and other means for effectually stopping the practice of haZing.

STABBED THEIR VICTIM.
HIaHwAYMEN AT RUAFoRD FALLS 60
FURTHER THAN USUAL.

The foot bridge across the Androscog
gin River at Rumford Falls has been
the scene Of number of hold-ups dur.
ing the past few months. Wednesday
night the worst one yet was perpetrated.
The victim was Levi Garrett, young
French Canadian. Garrett had on his
person sl57, q portion of which was
bounty money paid by the government
as the result of his recent services in the
Philippines, the rest was his earnings.
Garrett had been around during the
evening with another man, but started
for home alone. Just as he started to
cross the foot bridge man stepped out
of the shadow and asked FOR a match.
When he put his hand in his pocket two
other men sprang upon him, bore him
to the GROUND and kicked him on the
head.
He remembers nothing more until he
came to himself some time later, lying
in the road. His money was gone and
his face was covered with blood. He
did not believe himself seriously hurt
and went to his boarding place without
assistance.
A physician who was called, however,
found three knife wounds, one in the
abdomen, another in the chest, and a
third on the face. He was very weak
from loss of blood and the beating he
had received. The wounds are not
dangerous. and Garrett will recover all
right.
The knife with which the wounds
were made has been found, and officers
are working on the case.
Garrett was intending to be married
few days later.

FIRE AT OTlSFIElD.
DWELLING HOUSE AND MILL BURNED.


On the evening of Dec. 9th the saw
mill and house and stable belonging to
John Kemp at East Otisfield were burn
ed to the ground. The fire was first dis
covered by Ernest Maxwell, who was
passing by, at about half-past II, and
thought he saw light in the mill, but
soon saw it was a fire. He quickly
aroused the people in the little settle
ment, and it was soon evident the house
must 60. So, setting to work with a
will, they removed all the household
goods and the stock from the stable.
1t was thought that the building
across the street containing the library
and rent occupied by Mr.. Robinson, also
the adjoining buildings of Mrs. A. K.
Lowell must 60, but with hard work
they were saved, though with a thor
ough scorching.
As often happens, the insurance on the
mill had run out few days ago. The
house was insured for 81, 900. 1t is quite
a serious loss, as quite a number intend
ed hauling timber there to be sawed,
and Mr.. Kemp had traded for quite a
large amount himself. He will 60 back
to the old farm where he lived with his
brother before he bought the mill three
years ago. Mr.. Kemp takes his loss very
calmly, and says it is not as bad as
though he had no home to 60 to. he
says he has only lost three years hard
work. He has not decided whether he
will rebuild or not.
