SUCCESSFUL CONCERT LAST EVENING
By the First Regiment Band-Unusually Fine
Program Rendered Unusually Well-Har-
ward Quartet Enthusiastically Received

\ full house greeted the First Regi-
ment band at its annual concert which
was given in the Auditorium last even
ing. and this much appreciated organ
ization demonstrated that it still com
pares favorably with any similar musl-
cal aggregation outside the large cities
of the country. In fact the concert
was, if anything, of a higher standard
than ever, which is saying a good deal
considering the excellent work which
has been done in years past. The under
standing with which the different
movements were rendered and the fa
miliarity displayed in the more diff
cult passages showed how great an
amount of study is done by each player
individually and spoke volumes for the
ability of the leader.
The program was arranged with the
idea of suiting all musical tastes and in
this it fully realized its purpose.
There was music of ancient style as
we'll as the new, just enough to make
a good relish, and plenty of the stir
ring martial strains which are the
most popular part of bands roper
toire. The solo work of the instru-
mentalistS who assisted the regular
players is also worthy of mention as
being of an unusually high order.
Tafiey Mauch, the cornet soloist. is no
stranger in Brattleboro but his playing
last evening seemed better than ever.
+. +. Bagley. who is well known as
musician and composer, was heard for
the first time as euphonium soloist
and met with marked approval. Louis
Post on the bassoon demonstrated his
ability to manipulate the keys of that
unwieldly looking instrument to the
satisfaction and. in the encore. to the
of the audience.
The Harvard quartet made its debut
in Brattleboro last February but a
comparatively small number of people
had the opportunity of hearing it at that
time. Last night however the quartet
itself as one of the best
vocal organizations which has ever
been heard here, and in testimony of
the audiences appreciation nearly
every number was encored twice.

The Bennington case of J. II. Liv-
ingston VS.. Carroll S. Page was argued
before the Supreme court at Montpel-
ier Wednesday Judge Powers con-
tended that the contract in question
was not opposed to any law of the state
and so not against public policy.
Roger W. Hulburd and John Young on
behalf of the defendant argued that no
such contract as the plaintiff claimed
was in fact made by Governor Page but
that the governor merely wrote to have
the Reformer publish such clippings
as the governor might send il and ex-
pected to pay regular space rates, no
editorial matter being asked for. Had
actual space taken up by Governor
Pages literature been sued for no de-
Tense would have been made. Counsel
further argued that the contract
claimed by plaintiff was against pub
lie policy under the common law and
so could not be sued upon anyway.

MONTREAL'S PASSION PLAY.
Story of the Saviour's Life Presented on
the Stage.

Religious Montreal is stirred by the
production by professional company for
the first time in the world, 1t Is said, Of
the Passion Play
A few months ago a company Of Partisan
artists was brought here to produce the
piece. AS soon as II was announced the
Church frowned upon 1t. but did not abb
soluteiy forbid 1t. There was little pub
lie interest at first, but yesterday for
some reason fully 5000 persons tried to
get into the great hall of the Monument
National. the French Canadian national
building. where the performance is given.
The news went abroad and last night
street cars In st. Lawrence Street. the
Broadway Of Montreal. were stopped by
order OF the police until the thousands
who we're unable to gain admission to
the hall were satisfied of the fact anG
dispersed.
1t was even worse today. At the NATL
nee business in the immediate neighbor-
hood was practically suspended and all
the traffic was stopped for nearly an
hour. No theatrical performance has ever
attracted such tremendous crowds.
When an attempt was made ten years
ago to play the piece Archbishop Fabvre
forbade 1t, and 1t was called of. but this
time the new archbishop. Archbishop
Bruchesi, has only so far declared that
he will consider the matter very soon.
Meanwhile whole church congregations

are turning out to see the production
which. of course, is not an exact repro
duction of that given at Oberammergaa.
No audience In this country is likely to
remain through a nine-hour performance.
| The version used here was prepared by
Mr. German Beaulieu, advocate. Of this
city. 1t consists of FIVE acts and seven
tableaux
The play opens with the scene at the
entrance of the Temple and the triumphal
entry of Christ into Jerusalem. Then the
Last Supper Is presented. the Garden OF
Gethsemane and the kiss Of Judas. the
palace of Pontius PLATE and the condem-
nation of Jesus: the road to Calvary. Je-
sus falling for the third time and the
Crucifxion. The closing scene Is the As
cersion.
The characters are assigned with regard
to the accepted idea Of their personal ap-
pearancc. the performers capacity for
acting and such reasons as would apply In
casting any drama. The company is from
France. and is augmented by men and
women who have on various occasions In
Montreal showed histrionic ability.
The audience is composed Of some. no
doubt, who simply go to sec dramatic
spectacle. but as a whole the spectators
are most revcrential In their demeanor
Well delivered speeches win applause. and
beautiful tableaux are even encored. As
the final tragic scenes come on the vast
assemblagc Is hushed into absolute ST.
lence. and the deep feeling of an emo
tional people is most apparent.
Some of the scenic and mechanical ef-
fccts are startling. and the company
seems thoroughly alive to the solemn ma
ture of the task 1t has undertaken. the
noble lines as a rule being delivered with
thrilling power. Altogether 1t Is unique |
exhibition and one leaves the building GER
tainly without the sense Of reverence hav-

to be accepted here with something OF

! below was the narrow gallery that runs
about tho lobby. On this the girl landed
as II by miracle. Had the balcony not
caught her she would have gone on to
the marble floor below and would have
unquestionably been instantly killed.
Those who first got to her side found that
the victim was Miss Marie Monckton, the
fourteen year-old daughter OF W. II.
Monckton. She was apparently dead. The
form was picked up tenderly and taken
around the balcony to the room of Clerk
Hemphill. while Senator Williams, who
Is physician. fastened to her side. and
DR.. Wannamaker was gotten by phone.
Her father was also summoned by tele-
phone.
The girl soon revived. however, and
seemed to suffer considerably. The ply
sicians made a careful examination as
soon as possible and gave the welcome in
formation that no bones were broken and
the childs skull seemed uninjured. There
was no indication Of internal injuries
and 1t is believed that the girl will
quickly recover from the shock and
bruises sustained.
The young lady was with some friends.
starting to make the ascent to the dome
of the Capitol. when she dropped her
purse. which fell on the ceiling. She left
the platform to walk out on the metal

from below by wires and when the young
