WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1901.
The Maine Music Festival.


The last three days of last week
were given at Bangor, and the first
three fsss Of this week are being
given at Portland to the Maine music
festival. This is the fifth season that
these festivals have been held; they
have grown in interest from year to
year, and there can now be no ques-
ton as to their recurrence every fall
for years to come.
These festivals are no longer an ex-
pertinent; they are an institution, and
hereafter will be as much a part of
our State life as are holidays, fairs
and "Old Home Week" celebrations.
And interest in them will intensity as
time goes on. When the people of
the State wake up to the fact that
once wear group of the most ia
mc'-~ o'->~-"-~ of the world is brought
to our very doors, and that they may
be heard for fraction of the cost
that attends hearing them in the large
cities, the successes of the past five
years will sink to insignificance by
the side of the triumphs that will at
tend these marvellous musical events.
The coming of famous singers is
perhaps the least of the many direct
benefits that accompany this great
movement. The organization and
maintenance of State orchestra is
of no little consequence 1t affords
goal towards which aspiring players
may strive. OF greater consequence
still is the chorus, which, after all, is
the backbone of the entire move
ment, and far-reaehing in its infiu-
enee.
Is it not an inspiration to think
that, scattered all over this State, are
little bands of music lovers, wrestling
week after week for nine months of
the year over the same music-music
of the Hottest character? And doing
it all for the love of it, for the eleva-
ton of an art within reach of all, but
too little appreciated by many.
The worlds art treasures of paint
ing and sculpture are available to but
a very small proportion of the worlds
population; but the no less valuable
treasures of the art OF music, the
works OF the great masters, are
brought to US.
How many right here in Ellsworth
would have agreed, six years ago,
that the oratorios sEhjah'', "Mes-
siah' and "The Redemption were
available here? Could be studied TO
advantage here? Could ever be sung
here?
Yet five short years have demon
strated that the audacious Chapman
was no dreamer; that his visionary
proposition was intensely practicable,
and that great musical feast was not
only possible from an artistic point of
view, but also from financial point
of view.
No sane nerson expects to possess
great works OF art, or even see them,
without cost; so no one can expect to
hear art, that is, music, gratis. And
it is beginning to dawn upon the peo-
pie of Maine that these music festi-
walls are bringing within their reach
great deal of art at a very low price. |
Of the recent concerts in Bangor no
exuerst1.i i.ouice is needed. The pro-
grs the five concerts were |

OBITUARY..
CAPT. DAVID MCFARLAND.

GAIT. DAVID MCFARLAND.
Capt. David Mcfarland, whose death on
Wednesday afternoon of last week was
briefly recorded in THE AMERICAN of the
same day, was for many years identified
with the business and political interests
OF Ellsworth.
He was born In Ellsworth Jan. 8, 1917.
In early life he followed the sea, first In
coasting vessels, and then as master of
foreign going vessels, ealing many years
for the late Andrew Peters. The hand
some brig "Andrew Peters" was built
here for him.
Capt. Mcfarland retired from the sea
about the breaking out OF the Civil war
and soon afterward, with the late George
8. Hale, he bought the Aurora house at
Aurora, and for four or five years con-
Quoted that hotel, which in the days of
the stage coach did aourishing business.
In 1867 he sold out his interest in the
Aurora house, and returned to Ellsworth.
soon afterward entering the firm of
John NJ. Hale 4 Co., in the livery stable
and stage business. His connection
with the firm continued until the death
of Mr.. Hale few years ago, though on
account of i'll health, he took no active
part in the business for several years.
In 1870 Capt. Mcfarland was appointed
postmaster OF Ellsworth by President
Grant, and was reappointed in 1874, serv-
ing in all eight years. He was a stslwart
whig and republican and took a leading
part in politics for many years.
He was one ef the oldest members OF
Lygonia lodgs, F. and A. NJ, having been
made a Mason in 1860. He leaves five
children-Andrew p, Fred II. and Miss
Mary II. Mcfarland, Mrs. Herbert r.
Holmes and Mrs. Albert 4. Foster, all of

FRANKLIN, Oct. 7 Especial )-Somo mis-
creant placed an Gig hty- pound boulder on
the track near the switch Wednesday
evening. An excursion train was due
with people from the Ellsworth fair and
carnival.
Station Agent c. e. Green noticed thst
the light at the switch was out, and
started to investigate. He discovered the
rock wedged between the sleepers. An &C
cident was averted, thanks to his vigi-
lance. 1t is hoped the perpetrator may be
found and punished.

We havn't gotten over Editor
Mckay sticking his face into our
affairs, in his paper two weeks
ago, wherein he asserts that we
stand before the people as Judas;
nor shall we soon get over it. We
were discussing superiority with
"a gentleman, when Mckay piped
in in his ignorant, coarse way, and
wound up his sayings with the
above assertion concerning the
Editor of this paper
That was not very nice and why
it should have emitted from his
shallow head, we are not able to
say. We have always played
square with Mckay. Fought him
legitimately in politics when the
battles were on, but when the
storm clouds cleared away we were
his friend to help him all we could
to supremacy in his own party.
We realize now for the first time
that he has been playing the Judas
with us, and from this on we have
some things to say about the Judas
business. We will remove the
Sleeps clothing in his political
manipulations and point out to
General Grosvenor where he also
has been played for a sucker, and
given the spoils of this city to his
worst enemy and to the person who
has caused him most trouble in the
past and is seeking to dethrone him
in the future.
We will publish the ammunition
Mckay furnished us against Gros-
venor in the latter's campaign
against Peoples in 1898, and let
him deny the authenticity of the
writings if he will; they speak for
themselves. We have heretofore
held all such communication in
confidence, and used them if prop
er, and stored them away if unfit
for publication. But we get tired
of this confidence game, when the

Hanna for President.

The interview with Perry Heath,
sent out from London, in which
he nominates Mr.. Hanna for the
Presidency in 1904 is of special in
terest. 1t is obviously intended to
pave the way for the selection of
Mr.. Hanna, by accustoming the
country to the suggestion. Mr..
Hanna, of course, denies that he is
a candidate just as Ex-Governor
Hill denies that he is on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Each wants to be
talked of for the place, and then,
when the right time comes, to be-
gin to fight for it. 1t is interest
ing that the Hanna boom should
have been started in London; it
looks almost as though the financial
magnates over there might have
been consulted before the inter-
view was sent out. Be this as it
may, it is certain that Mr.. Hanna
will have the support of all the
moneyed men in the United States,
except, of course, those who object
to government by trusts" and
cling to Democratic principles.
Mr.. Heath's statement that Mr..
Hanna could get the nomination
easier than any other man in the
United States, is undoubtedly true,
but such cannot be said of his
further statement that "the peo-
pie have an erroneous idea of Mr..
Hanna regard him simply as a
campaign manager and a rich man
who has inherited wealth-any-
thing but the statesman Presi-
dent ought to be-" The Hon.
Perry S Heath says that is all
wrong, that the people don't know
Mr.. Hanna, that he himself has
had five years of the "closest in
timacy" with Mr.. Hanna, and that
he, Perry S. Heath, has seen him
repeatedly solve questions that
have staggered old stagers, and
solve them, too, SO easily as to as
tonish everybody. The Hon. Perry
S. Heath's idea seems to be nomi-

Buying Wisdom in Wall Street.

The old lesson, so often learned
and so quickly forgotten, has again
been sharply impressed upon those
who thought they could make
money easily and safely by follow
ing the lead Of the big operators
on the stock market. Appa1 emily
some of them were fortunate, and
that led others to venture where
these had gone before. Then came
the inevitable "turn of luck" and
there have been losses all along the
line instead of gains.
1t is with stock speculation as
with other forms of gambling. At

tries his luck and perhaps wins
once or twice. That tempts him
