Nine. scalar's Success In London

Miss Mime A. Plummer, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. +. Plummer of South
Paris, known in the musical world as
Nine. Scalar, recently began an engage
ment in grand opera at Covent Garden,
London. She sang under certain rather
difficult conditions, and felt that trepida-
ton which almost every one would ex-
perience under the same circumstances.
The extent of the information received
by her parents since was cablegram
which came immediately after her ap-
pearance, saying simply, "Unbounded
success" Last weeks Musical America
contains this further dispatch from Lon
don regarding the matter: "The chief
feature of the performance OF Aida at
Covent Garden, this week, was the ap-
pearance of the American soprano, Nine.
Scarlar. in the title part. Her success
was instantaneous. She proved herself
an opera singer of the highest rank, and,
at the same time, exhibited rare
histrionic ability. Her voice is rich and
powerful, and she sings with ease and
fiuency. The critics recorded her work
in enthusiastic terms. The performance
ranks among Covent Gardens best"
Nine. Scalar's many friends are de-
lighted to learn of this latest addition to
her series of successes. A wish has
often been expressed here that she might
be engaged as one of the artists of the
Maine festival, as she has so many per-
sonal friends, not only in this vicinity
but in other parts of the state.
After about six weeks in Londor
Nine. Scalar goes to Nice to fill win
ter's engagement.

appeared that he did not actually par
ticipate In the break. The attorneys
spoke in behalf of the other boys, and
after hearing the matter, Judge Wiswell
imposed a sentence Of three months In
Jail at Auburn.
Early In the term, Bertha West Of
Rumford Falls, indicted for adultery,
had been allowed to 60 on good be-
havior, and the judge had instructed her
to 20 home. Wednesday evening she
was appreheuded by Jailer Farrar at
South Paris and committed to Jail, and
az It appeared that there was question
as to her mental condition, q plea of in
sanity was entered for her, and she was
ordered committed to the care Of the
superintendent Of the state insane
asylum for observation.
The case of State vs. George W. Fer
maid, appellant, was heard by the court.
This was appealed from q trial justice
court. The complaint was against
George w. Fernald, a we'll known Bethel
man, for practicing as veterinary
without being registered according to
the statute. County Attorney Barnes
appeared for the state, Wright &
Wheeler for Fernald. No evidence was
introduced, as there was no conflict of
testimony, but the attorneys after some
backing and filling succeeded in making
an agreed statement of the facts. 1t ap-
peared that Mr.. Fernald, who was not
registered as veterinary, had applied
the tuberculin test to COWS, under oral
instructions from the cattle commits
sioners. The hearing was brief, and
Judge Wiswell ruled that the applica-
ton of the tuberculin test in the man.
uer described, while If done independ
emily of any authority would have been
the practice of veterinary medicine, was
not such within the meaning of the
statute when done under the direction of
tho cattle commissioners, and Mr.. Fer
nald was discharged.
Friday morning Mrs. Annie Siddall of
Rumford Falls was placed on trial on
liquor nuisance indictment. Mrs. Sid
dali is the proprietor of the Siddall
building or Siddall Block on Canal Street
in Rumford Falls, and had once before
during this term been tried, jointly with
two men, on nuisance charge. At that
trial Judge Wiswell instructed the jury
to return verdict of not guilty as to
Mrs. Siddall, and the two men were con-
victed. At Fridays trial the evidence
was quite similar in character to that at
the other trial, and after hearing it
Judge Wiswell instructed the jury to
find her not guilty.
This wound up the criminal business
for this term. A large amount of it had
been disposed of, not only that original
ing at this term, but considerable which
came forward from the preceding and
other terms.
A total of s1,7l6.33 has been paid in
to the county treasury during this term,
in fines, costs and defaulted bail. The
several items are as follows:

Paris School Notes.

By vote of the school committee there
will be a vacation of one week at the
close of the present term. 1t is thought
probable that conditions will be more
favorable for pupils to attend winter
term if it begins early. One week for
vacation will be taken at Christmas. In
many towns of Maine there is an OBJ
lection to the loss of so much time from
regular work during our brief terms. 1t
is considered reasonable request that
all citizens and teachers work for better
schools.
The best part of the great convention
at Lewiston seemed to be the splendid
exhibits of work done in several city
schools. Our teachers gained valuable
hints.
Prof. John Tyler of Amherst College
said the small children ought to play
more in order to grow strong. He was
wise enough to add that older people
need to play more and keep happy.
The. High School would like some
philanthrOpist to give $500 for apparatus
| in physics. 1t would also be grea,
benefit if our boys could have manual
training.
