STOLEN STREET SIGNS
Get Joaquin Bernardo caIvo Into Trouble at
Bar Harbor.

Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept. 1.-The Off
cial position of his father, Senior Calvo,
envoy extraordinary Of Costa Rica, led
the police to allow freedom to Don
joaquin Bernardo Calvo, today, after
they had detained him on suspicion Of
having stolen street signs in his pos
session. The town officers have been
trying to put stop to street sign
thefts by college boys summering here.
The acts We're looked upon as mis-
chievOus. but We're sufficiently annoy
ing to require suppression. When Calvo
was taken. today, the officers thought
they had chance TO make an example
OF a college boy. Calvo told who he was
and his fathers position gave him inn
munity from arrest.

Ona More Decoration Added to Cobbossee.

A very pretty affair was seen at the
lake last Saturday evening. a flag pole
some % feet high was raised at the
Russell cottage. Many invitations We're
sent out and friends gathered from all
over the pond to witness the ceremony.
fully decorated with japanese lanterns.
After the flag had been hoisted to the
Top of the flag pole speeches were made
and songs sung. After this the guests,
which numbered about 100, We're serv-
ed with refreshments. One of the most
attractive things about the place was
a large bass weighing about 5A pounds.
IL was caught by a party guided by
John Merrill The fish is one of the
largest that has ever been taken from
the lake.

THROW TWO GAMES.
Champion Portiands Help the Lewiston,
- '~ Out Of Last Place. 80

Portland. Me, Sept. There was no
game at Lewiston, this forenoon. but in
stead. Portland and Lewiston PLAYED two
games on the local grounds, this after
noon. The home team played like any
thing but champions and the two games
were rather easy picking for the visitors
In the first game Lewiston piled up seven
runs in the first four ini,:Ilgs. Portland
started in to overcome 1t and came 80
near doing so that Il hit either in the
eighth or ninth would HaI1,a have tied the score
but 1t failed to come: Eben Ross was
sent to the bench for pulling ITmDire
Wheelock's blouse.
In the second Dupee started in to pitch
but Long replaced him in the fonrth
Both We're batted freely and the playing
of the entire team was Indifferent
Meserve was puzzle up to the eighth
when the Portlands fell on him and bat :
ted out four earned runs. They made
two more in the ninth but the visitors had
lead enough for three or four games
Wheelocks umpiring was even worse
than the ball playing.

BELLSTEDT IS HERE.
Famous Leader Says West Has
Been Educated IN Music.

Herman Bellstedt. fat, forty and
German, lighted his Havana after ms
noon day meal at the Throop today ana
with John Marshall as critic, he talked
bands and band music between the
puffs from his cigar.
Bellstedt must know the business. he
SAYS he does and he ought to, for he
started in something between 20 and ~
years ago playing in any kind OF
musical organization where he could
get a sheet of music and a music rack
furnished him. He has played for col
ored camp meetings, in dose leetle
German bands on the street, in travel
ing minstfele, in circus and Tor SIDE
shows. He graduated from that slow
~ to be sure. and from the regulation
ia circus music he received MS
diploma. and then played with Gilmore,
Theodore Thomas and other famous
conductors. Now he Yields the baton
over the band of 43 pieces named Tor
him. The home OF the band is In en-
cinnati, where band music Is under
stood and where the Germans worship
a good band leader.
There was some discussion among the
Ioungers in the lobby whether Bellstedt
is an Englishman or a German. Am
English or German 'queried Bellstedt
in answer to the question. Look at
bay window and smiled. 4 like good
English ale, rare roast beef and pork
and beans. Can you tell from that2
No? Well. I was born in Bremen"
Bellstedt is a collector of music Not
a piece published in America. France,
England or Germany passes by with
out his notice and he buys hundreds OF
pieces every month. It is said that he
has enough band music to I'LL two
freight ears. Music represents an In
vestment," remarked Bellstedt. THE
scores published in Germany are ex-
pensive. For a band such as ours, for
Instance, The Flying Dutchman' costs
my way I should play nothing but
classical music but experience teaches
me that such music alone viii not go.
The west has become educated In re-"
markable degree in music in the last
few years. The people of the west now
appreciate music which few years
ago they did not enjoy. was with Gill
and pieces of a classical nature which
were not appreciated then are now en-
joyed by our audiences. When ] was
with Gilmore the audiences would APP
plaude after good, noisy passage and
sudden stop. Now they know when
to applaud.
Bellstedt's band is made up Of many
musicians from Theodore Thomas or
chestra and from the symphony Or
chestrias of the country. The instru-
mentation of the band is on the English
plan of having large number of reed
instruments instead of majority OF
brass instruments. The band has is
reed instruments besides two contra
basses The band will give a concert
