Balade from L'Africane was his first
number and In all his other selections his
magnificent baritone, which is beyond
description, was heard with the greatest
pleasure. lie was recalled several times
after his first appearance and finally re-
sponded with the Toreador's Song from
Carmen, which he sang with his Gus
tomary spirit. The applause, however,
did not subside after his singing of the
Toreador's Song, and after he had tried
to satisfy the audience by appearing
several times to bow his thanks, he sang,
with decided spirit, at the stage entrance,
away from the view of the audience, a
charming little serenade, and his acting,
though invisible to the audience, caused
much amusement among the chorus
members.

and st. Adams. and many individual
singers joining from the smaller towns.
This chorus has been faithfully at work
for over a year and its work is most eff
ficient and will be pride to every YER
monter.
Last year the orchestra was small and
incomplete; but this year the full Festi
val Orchestra, which is in the Maine
Festivals, will be brought here. This
year 1t is to be Grand Orchestra with
all its parts. This new gymnasium
building with its great height of ceiling
and its large dimensions, will make it
possible to hear this fine chorus and
great orchestra to the best advantage.
AT the opening concert In Bangor with
exactly the same great artists and Or
chestra as will be here, nearly 5000 peo-
pie gave to Suzanne Adams an over
whelming ovation. The press reports
"Madame Adams, handsome and grac-
ious, was an immediate fayorite with the
immense audience because of her charm
ing personality. Nine. Adams sang
beautifully and before she had finished
her opening solo her hearers were en-
tranced by her wonderful voice, its
clearness and mellowness and flutelike
quality, so evident in her trills and runs,

Interesting Relic of Indian Days.

While attending the recent session of
the United States court in Rutland Judge
Wheeler had in his possession relic
which greatly interested the legal men.
The relic was a combination compass
and sun dial which formerly belonged to
Captain Melville, Vermonter of French
and Indian war fame. This compass was
ploughed up by farmer on Judge
Wheeler's land In the town Of Jamaica
in 1884. 1t was lost In l74S. The Judge
has a copy of Captain Melville's journals
telling about his reckonings with this
compass in his journeys through the
state. A good proof of the identity of
this relic is the fact that the journals do
not speak of the captain using his dial to
find the time Of day after l74S.

Extensive Fire i'm Rutland.

The main buildings of the wood work
Stoddard Manufacturing company of
Rutland, were Quilted by fire early Sun
day morning. The damage is estimated
at from $500, 900 to 100000, fairly well
insured. The fire. which was apparently
of incendiary origin, started about II
o'clock Saturday night in shaving shed,
and before stream of water could be
put on it, the flames had spread through
the main brick building. A strong wind
was blowing from the south and this
filled the air with flying sparks while the
sky was Illuminated so as to be visible
for miles around. Six streams were
played on the blaze till II 80 Sunday
afternoon. Only the walls of the main
building are standing. The other struc-
lures, including the saw mill and cooper
shops, were unhurt, owing to the good
work of the fire department, the members
of which were working from 10 o'clock
Saturday night until o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Two small fires occurred
about two hours before and after the
Moseley & Stoddard fire. About 5000
feet of hose was laid at the three different
fires. At the Moseley & Stoddard fire,
regular fireman, Thomas p. Riley, and
Matthew McDevitt, call fireman, were
badly bruised by falling from ladders.
Riley fell 80 feet and McDevitt, who was
overcome by smoke, fell about 10 feet,
striking on his stomach and face. Both
men will be laid up for several days.

TWO DECISIONS
Rendered In Cases Brought
Againsi Executor and BOndsmen

Two opinions of considerable importance
were handed down today in the cases
OF Municipal Court or Providence VS..
Charles w. Wilbour. ct al. and Harriet
W. Slocum VS.. Same by the appellate
division OF the supreme court Some
interesting points in regard 10 tho admin
istration of estates are passed upon.
The first case was an action Of debt
upon the bond of an executor brought
by and for the benefit of an alleged credi-
tor of the testator. These breaches OF
the bond were assigned:
lst. That the executor, though duly
cited by the probate court TO do so, has
not rendered an account TO the court;
and. I'd, that he has not paid the claim
OF the plaintiff although IL was duly
presented, and he did not file i'm the pro-
bate court any statement denying it's
validity within the time prescribed by
law.
The defendants demurred TO the dec
laration on the ground that the plaintiff
shows no right TO bring the suit because
the neglect of the executor to file the
statement required by law is not equiva-
lent TO an allowance of a claim duly pre-
sented. 1t is held that the demurrer must
be sustained. The court after reviewing
the General Laws on the subject says:
"The consequence is that i'm order TO
qualify himself TO sue upon the bond a
creditor must pursue the other method
of having his ascertained which the
statute points out. VIZ: Bring suit upon.
it and reduce it TO q judgment, and then
demand payment of the executor. The
allowance by the executor contemplated
by the statute is a positive act evidenced

bate court Nothing less than this can
