RECITAL AND CONCERT.
Rare Music Treat Given at Congre-
aational Church, Monday Evening.

Goos1ly number of Augusta music
lovers gathered at the Congregational
church. Monday evening, to take ad-
vantage Of til" good things offered in
the organ recital and concert an
nounccd some weeks ago. The must
clans taking part in the program were
Geo. Il. Goudridge. orSanist ut IN"
CONGREGATIONAL church. the Gounod La
dies quartet. the members of which
are Miss s;iran Miller. Miss Elizabeth
Noble. Mrs Laura Parks Ridley and
Mrs. {. S. York; and Frank Holding.
the talented young violinist, all OF
whom are well known in Augusta ml-
steal circles and need no introduction
or prise.
The work of Mr.. Goodridgc WAS most
warmly received. and the entire six
numbers were rendered with rare eX-
preston. Especially in the Overture
to Eu,ymnnthc, from Weber. and
Tor blight from Guilmant. was the
organist's power over his instrument
displayed.
Everyone is familiar with the quail
ity of the voices of the ladies forming
the iiounod Quartet. 1t is sufficient 10
say that last evenings series of selcc-
tioIs was equal of any ever given by
. this popular organization. The Welsh
air. "All ThrO the Night, brings out
in a charming manner the delicate har-
mcny of the voices.
TIL, highly artistic character of Mr..
Holdings violin playing is something
to which all his hearers testify. The
apparent ease of manipulation, the
sympathetic touch. and above all the
pure tones ranging from the deep pow
crful melodies M to the most minut"

a great deal of criticism is heard
about the city. regarding a recent rul-
ing of the management of the kenne-
bee division of the Eastern Steamship
Co, by which through tickets to Au-
guSta from Boston are no longer sold.
Tickets are sold ut the Boston Office for
the trip to the kcnnebec. but by them
the company only agrees to brig their
passengers to Gardiner. leaving those
who are coming to Augusta to reach
their destinations as hest they may.
And in addition to that. the company
also refuses to forward to this city the
baggage of such passengers This a'-
ton is III line with the recent order
which rclcgatcd the transfer steamer
Della Collins to the ranks of freight
steamers. When the old craft came on
in the spring she had run but short
time when she was condemned by the
inspectors until she should be taken
out on the marine railway and re
paired. This was done a few weeks
ago. by putting in a few plank in her
hull, and making some other minor re
pairs. after which permission was Civ
IN for her to resume her route between
this city and Gardiner, to be used only,
however, rs a freight transfer carry
ing no passengers and no baggage.
Just why the baggage was cut out OF
the list, and why passengers for Au-
gusta are not given transportation to
Augusta is not known. but 1t seems to
the average person, with the large
number of visitors who come to this
city, annually during the summer time,
both 20 visit the city, and to so to the
different resorts in this vicinity. that It
is very poor judgment on the part oil
the company to put their patrons 10

gehders.

THE GERMAN APPETITE

Wherever there is a German there
you will find enough to eat. 1t may
not always be to your taste, but it is
there in wholesome quality and gen.
erous quantity and usually his wife
it with him. 1t is not unusual to see
the entire family. even down to the
smallest child, at festive gathering,
and however queer this may appear to
American eyes, it Is a custom of the
fatherland, and a very commendable
one. When the husband takes a glass
of wine or beer he is quite willing that
his wife should nave an equal amount
and to give the baby a sip If it so
pleases her. The entire code Of ethics
in Germany is more on an equal plane
for men and women than in any other
country In the world. and 1t Is no
doubt due to this phase of domestic
felicity that Germany is practically q
divorceless country. At the annual
Metzelsuppe the men do not come
alone, but bring their wives with
them. No man of any other national
ity in the world can boast the CASTRO
nomic capability Of the German. The
number of glasses of beer that he can
consume with ease is something as
tonishing, and the mixture of soups,
sweet and sour. pickles. sausage and
cheeses dear to the Teutonic palate
are enough to give the ordinary NOR
tai indigestion by merely thinking of

A FINANCIAL FABLE

Once upon a Time. there was a
Financier who contrived to make the
others of his Xix look like very little
Potatoes, indeed. He merrily trod the
Devious Ways Of Frenzied Finance
with them and mixed and mingled in
their Nefarious Schemes till he had ac-
quired his Full Quota of Opprobrium
and Scads. Then he suddenly re-
formed, purchased an Interest in a
Magazine, and proceeded to expose his
erstwhile Associates, taking the Hide
off them without removing their
Clothing and almost making them like
it, and continuing until there was prac-
tically nothing left for them but Fast
ing and Prayer; and he did it all so
Deity, Scientifically and Well that he
not only made large Fortune out of
it, but won the Absolution and APP
plause of the Public, as we'll. Was he
not an Astute Octopus?-Puck
