The forty. fourth annual festival OF the
Worcester County Musical association
was held in Worcester. Mass, last week
Year by year the Worcester music
festivals have advanced both 10 the
character OF the works given and in the
standard OF excellence OF performances.
until their influence has become para
mount IN the artistic life Of the CON-
munity, and is felt throughout the coun
try. While the local patronage this
year was not equal to that OF the past
few years, in real value to the art Of
music this festival should be ranked as
the most notable thus far in the long
career Of the association. Uniformly
excellent was the work OF the sololsts,
among whom were Miss Suzanne Adams,
Mrs. Shsnnah Cumming. Miss Gertrude
Msy Stein, Mrs. Clara Poole King,
Messrs. Evan Williams, Ellison Van
Hoose. David Bispham and Carl Duff,
vocalists. and Richard Burmeister, pian-
list. The orchestra, consisting OF sixty
five men from the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, with Franz Kneisel as leader,
went through the arduous weeks work
magnifi Gently. The chorus OF four hun
dred voices. the real foundation OF such
an enterprise. was the best Of recent
years. The principal choral works given
we're Caesar FranckIs oratorio The

and judith Lyric drama composed
on q commission from the festival au-
thorities-by George W. Chadwick of
Boston. who has conducted the festivals
since 1897. Two symphonies and
dozen orchestral works of less magnitude
were given, and srias and other vocal
numbers swelled the total number of
works given in the seven concerts To
about thirty, nearly one-haf Of which
were new to Worcester audiences. This
year more than in any previous year
has the attention of the musical world
been drawn to Worcester, because OF

TRAMP is GRATEFUL.

An Instance in which Charity Found

Mrs. Emma Cargill, of Omaha, en-
tertained an angel unawares.
Prompted by sympathy, she gave
food and shelter to a supposed tramp
the other day, and when, a week later,
he died in her house, she found herself
sole beneficiary of his oral will, which
meant a snug sum in cash-more than
she could have made by keeping board
ers in ten years.
An oral will is not valid under the
Nebraska statutes, but thus far there
have been no rival heirs to contest her
claim, and the present indications are
that she will be left in undisputed pos
session of her windfall.
One evening during the recent cold
spell a poor wanderer, bent under the
burden Of his years, called at Mrs.
Curgill's home and asked for bed. He
was weak and sick, and his voice trem-
bled as he said:

shelter, and they all turn me away, be-
cause they think I've got the small

Then he handed her a parcel wrapped
In a soiled newspaper and tied with

a package of old letters.
"Keep this until get WE'LL" he said
"and II 1 never get well-if 1 should

This was the strangers will.

taken on the applications of the

of the Board to favor the teacher

er was favored by the local trustee
of two schools he applied for ant
yet a member of the board succeeded
in having those schools declared va

it unjust to allow personal matters

aged to CLEAN from him few facts
She learned that his name was j. w.
Myers and that he was 76 years old.
He had never married. From his
brothers and sisters, of whom he had
six at the time he left Connecticut,
he had not heard in 32 years, and he
believed they were dead. During his
early manhood he had been wild and
later had kept much to himself, having
lived for the last five years the life of
a recluse on his homestead near Lamar,
Ia. When sickness came he converted
his property into money and started
for the city, intending to go to a hos
pital, but observing that his mslady
was likely to be mistaken for small
poX he altered his plans. He dreaded
the pesthouse he said. He wanted to
"die like a Christian" so avoided the
authorities and made a house-to-house
canvass in quest of Good Samaritan,
whom he at last found in the person Of
Mrs. Cargill.
On the seventh day after his arrival
at the Cargill home j. w. Myers died.
Mrs. Cargill notified the coroner, and
while she was gathering his effects
preparatory to a removal Of the body
she ehanced upon the greasy package
on the window sill.
She tore it open with languid inter
est, which soon gave way to a thrill
OF excitement, for the parcel contained
ST. 900 in treasury notes-100 ten-dollar
bills.
Out Of this sum she paid the old
mans doctor bills and funeral ex-
penses and the remainder she has de-
posted in q bank. She says she hopes
no heirs will present themselves to
claim it, as she wants to use it in
the education Of her little daughter,
eight years old, who has displayed con-
siderable talent In music.

four grains more were not too much
for horse. The judge asked
