Farewell Concert,

The verdict of all present at last
weeks concert of Herwegh Won Ende's
pupils at Bethany church, is that it was
the best concert ever given in Skowhe-
gan, but it was great disappointment
to many that the teacher of these re-
markable pupils did not appear himself,
and there has been such a general de-
mand to hear Samme Kotler, the ten
year old violinst, and the violin quartet
again, that the Y. p. :. C. E. of the
Bethany Baptist church have arranged
for farewell concert Tuesday evening,
August 2Sth, prior to their return TO
New York and take great pleasure in
announcing that besides Samme Kotler
and the violin quartet as well as our own
gifted pianist, Miss Margery Morrison,

distinguished pupils has consented to

PRIVILEGED TRAVELLERS.
Danish Roads Compelled to Carry
''Deadheads" PerpetualIy.

The town Of Lauenburg, IN Schleswlg-
Holstein, enjoys privilege which Is
probably unique In the world-that Of
free transit by rail to and from the
neighboring town Of Buchen. AS the in
habltants number about $500 and the
distance Is about nine miles, the costli-
ness of the privilege to the railway
companies IS great.
The queer exemption, according to
the London Globe, dates from 1914,
when the Berlin-Hamburg line YVES
built. The Lauenburgers made great
sacrifices to secure that the line should
touch their town, but the physical diff
culties were SO great that the engineers
abandoned the Idea and took 1t through
Buchen, to which town the Danish gov
eminent afterward constructed a
branch from Lauenburg, giving to the
Lauenburgers In perpetuty the right OF
free transit for themselves and their
| baggage.
The Prussian railway administration
has several times tried to rid Itself of
this burden, but the courts have always
upheld the right Quite recently a
Lauenburg choral society, made to pay
their fares to Mecklesburg, have up.
pealed and the courts have ordered the
deduction of the Buchen portion.
