AN INFANT MAGICIAN.
Mozart Mt the Age of Four Composed
Difficult Concerto.


As a child of three Wolfgang Mo-
zart's wonderful playing on the harp
sichord was the talk Of Salzburg, and
a year later his compositions were be-
ing played in public by his father. He
was only four years old when he COM
posed a concerto so difficult that even
his father, one of the most skilled vio-
linistS in Germany. could not play it.
"Of course" said the infant magician,
mo one can be expected to play it with
out diligcnt practice" \ year later,
when Wolfgang was only five years
old, he was invited to give recital in
the hall of the university, when the
magic Of his tiny fingers worked his
auditors to a pitch of the widest en-
thuSiaSm.
At six he made a tour of Germany
and became the idol Of the courts, the
empress herself taking him on her
knees and hugging him in an ecstasy
Of admiration, while Francis /. en-
braccd him and called him my little
magician" Shortly after he had pass
cd his eighth birthday Mozart was
elcctrifying England, was being petted
and caressed by George III. and his
queen and was publishing sonatas,
symphony and an anthem, which Great

The Puritan Fathers and Smoking

The Puritan Fathers and Smoking.
The Puritan fathers were greatly
addicted to Smoking-indeed, the prac-
tice became so common that even the
Straitlaccd observers of times and sea-
sons actually smoked in church. This
custom soon caused very considerable
annoyance, as the religious exercises
were greatly disturbed by the clink-
ing Of flintS and steels to light their
pipes and the clouds Of smoke in
church. Hence in the year 1869 the
colony passed this law: 1T is enacted
that any person or persons that shall
be found smoking of tobacco on the
Lords day, going to or coming from
the meetings, within two miles Of
meeting house, shall pay II pence for
every such default" Under this law
several persons were actually fined, but
the punishment failed to secure the
carrying out of the arbitrary second
portion of the enactment.

"rhe Volunteer oraanist," Tonight.


1.-The Volunteer Organist," the pastoral
drama about which there has been con-
siderable anticipatory interest, Will De
produced in this city at the Opera house'
this evening.
The piece in a way is a temperance les
son. 1t is also lucid exposition OF some
Of the higher traits in humankind as con-
trasted to the sinister tendencies common
in every community.
The personalities are mostly reason
able The chief scene discloses the inte-
rior Of church, with the volunteer or
ganist seated at his instrument while
the sweet. ringing voice OF boy singer
is heard in the powerful melody of THE
HOLY CITY" The regular organist of the
church has declined to act because the
daughter of a tavern keeper sings with
the choir. The fact that the minister of
the Mace loves the same daughter, and
TINS arouses the uncompromising dislike
of members of his flock, appears promi-
nently in the development of the plot
It is a highly entertaining performance
and one which people who have admired
such dramas as Way Down East" The
Old Homestead" and Shore Acres" viii
surely delight in witnessing.
The cast is an exceptionally strong one.

LOCAL MATTERS.
RURAL MAIL BOX.
Anson Boys In Court, Here, for Sc.
rious Offense.

For the first time in the history of
rural free delivery in Maine, prose-
cution has been made for the defacing
and destruction of one of the mail box
es used en- those routes. A long time
ago the post Office department ruled
that the same laws governing letter
boxes in city streets applied to those
used on the rural free delivery routes
and that the same punishments were to
be administered to those who in any
way injured either of these boxes.
But though the r. +. d. has spread
with great apidity in Maine, until now
there are a great many such, no one
has ever been arrested under this rul-
ing until the present case. 1t may be,
however. that there have been opportu-
mites for such a prosecution in the
State, which they have never been taken
advantage of.
On Tuesday morning, United States
Marshal b. 0. Norton brought four
boys Oliver Porter, Allie Mardin, Or
rim Preble and Elmer Briggs of Arson,
to this city, and arraigned them before
United States Commissioner L. A. Bur-
leigh on the charge of macic.ously de-
stroying the letter box of Blanchard A.
Luce, on rural free delivery route No.
!. The boys pleaded not guilty, but
probable cause was found and they
were bound over to the December term
of the United States district court, to
be held in Portland, in the sum of $500
each. They furnished the surities and
We're released.
The boys were from - to Is years OF
age From the stories which they told
it seems that they We're using the let
ter box, which occupied a post in front
of Mr.. Luce's home in Arson, as tar
get for stone throwing practice. 1t is
probable that the lesson, which their
efforts at attaining proficiency in the
art of stone throwing has brought
them. will be sufficient to last them for
some time.

"HeIIo Bill"

In announcing the engagement at the
Opera house, next Friday night, of Will
lis Maxwell Goodhue's jolly comedy "He-
10 Bill" Manager Owen takes pleasure in
the statement that he believes he is Of
fering his patrons one of the most enjoy
able treats of the season Who is there
who does not like to laugh when he has
something to laugh at which does not in
suit his intelligence which he can thor
oughly enjoy and leave the theater with
cut the feeling that he has lowered him
self by laughing at and with the con-
seriousness of having spent three hours OF
unrestricted merriment? To him Hello
Bill appeals, and to him Hello Bill
has become synonym for all that is fun
ny, and it's visit is looked forward to as
one of the events of the theatrical sea-
son. The merry comedy is said to be con-
structed more on the lines which have
made the comedies of the last Charles
Hoyt so conspcuously clever than any
comic play of late years. and there is lit
tie doubt that it's engagement here will
be a duplicate of all that have gone be-
fore. The company. this season, has been
selected with exceeding care, and con-
tains, in addition to John Daily Murphy
brilliant comedian, such sterling players
as A. c. Henderson, William H. Wood
side, Fl. Bernard Denny, Eugene Shake
speare, Robert Watt Maud Barber, Ger
trude Raymore. Margaret Sayres, Lena
Lorraine and Marion Kirby.
The sale of seats will open, this morn
ing, and it is expected to be more than
| ordinarily large.

Local Boys Bring Home Scalp from
Downriver Town.

Pettengill's Corner went to Richmond
Monday, and defeated the home team III
q hard-fought game The features were
the hitting of Pettengill's Corner when
hits We're needed. the pitching of Grier,
who pulled out of several tight boxes
when it looked like scores, and the all
around good playing of both teams.
The Corner boys were well pleased with
Richmond, being used very finely. a
crowd of about 500 was at the game.
The Richmond Cornet Band was present,
but must have exhausted itself during
the game, for Pettengill Corner was UNI
able TO hire a drummer for little parade
in honor of their victory. The score:
