For II years the Reservation has
been a political and business spec
ulat1on, Elect this or that one to
Congress or the Legislature and
he will do so and so. The same
talk can already be heard of the
next campaign. Others run a
herd over there for profit. Others
now want to do 1t. These are the
kind of fellows who have killed off
every improvement proposed for
that Reservation. If it is to con
tinue then these homesteaders can
not be blamed for tieing Il up IN
the Courts for years, to hold and
use their homesteads.
But if the people of Hays viii

The musical circles of the country, and
therefore they expected a fine musical
treat. last evening, and they were not
.lIsanpointed-yes. they were disappointed.
for il was even better than the most san
guine had dared to hope. In spite of the
very stormy weather the house was we'll
filed. and everyone was more than
pleased with the program.
Mr. Chapman's appearance on the stage
was the signal for storm of applause
for Augusta in common with many other
Maine cities and towns has much to
thank him for in the way of music.
Herr Hans Kronald was the first of the
artists to appear. He has been here be-
fore and if the greeting he received from
the audience was any indication they re-
tanned very pleasing recolections of his
powers over the cello. To say that his
performance on that instrument las:
evening. was up TO his usual high stand
ard is the highest praise possible TO give
him. .
Miss Randall followed Herr Kronald,
She was stranger 10 most in the audi
cnce, but her pleasing stage presence and
strong, clear sweet voice won the hearts
Of all Her selections appealed TO the
audience and if encores and applause
count for anything it must be said that
she was a great favor with the audi
ence
Miss Truax then came onto the stage
She is n voung girl of only l6 years and
yet she showed herself to be one of the
most accomplished whistlers ever heard
in Maine. Her imitation of the notes OF
birds was wonderful. and she made one
Of the hits of the evening.
Miss Moore delighted the people with
the richness and power of her fine con
tralto voice. She. too. was 4 stranger n
Augusta people, but she won much favor
able comment The selections which she
sung were we'll adapted to her voice. and
she was warmly encored.
Mrs Chapman gave two readings and
an encore With one execution Augusta
is the only nlace at which Mrs. Chapman
has consented to read. Her selections
were humorous and pleased the audience
greatly
AT the intermission between the two
parts on the program Mr. Chapman gave
a short statement of the purposes OF
these concerts To help out the Festiva
Choruses in the different cities. He also
gave a short history OF the growth OF
these choruses in the past four years. III
which he said that the number of Nom
Lers in the different cities Of Maine was
fully 900 more than in any other state
