Mrs. Scruton has been associated in
religious activities for many years,
called on her yesterday. helping her to
enjoy the good health with which she
has been blessed and congratulatinG
her on the recurrence. of her of her
birthday anniversary. Many who could
not come sent flowers and other re-
mindcrs of the day, expressing their
regret at their inability. to be present.
The affair was entirely informal and
VAS a delightful occasion.
Among those who We're unable to he
present Were Mrs. Emily Y. Gay OF
Grove street, aged 81 years. and Mrs.
Hinkley of Grove street, who has al
most reached the 80 mark. Among
those present We're Mrs. Dca-

THE FESTIVAL CHORUS.
RS Membership in Augusta Ought &c
be Double This Year.

Editors kcnnebec Journal:
| would like through the columns OF
the journal to catch the eye and en-
list the attention of its readers with
reference to the culture Of music.
Some will doubtless say at once that
they are not singers therefore not in
tcrested in this article: but music is not
only for the musical. or songs for the
singer. but much more for the listener.
Nj. Krehbiel Says. 'The capacity
properly to listen to music is better
proof OF musical talent in the listener
than skill to play upon an instrument
or ability to sing acceptably when I'M
accompanied by that capacity. 1t
makes more for that gentleness and re-
fnement of emotion. thought and ac-
ton which. in the highest sense OF the
torn. it is the province of music to
promote. And it is much rarer ac-
conlplishment. Or all the arts, music
is practiced the most and thought
about the least. Why this should be
the case may be explained on several
grounds. A sweet mystery ensllrouds
the nature of music. Its material part
is subtle and Elusive. To master it on
it,; technical side alone costs a vast OK
rcnditura of time, patience and indus
try. Eut. since it is. iii one mani
festation or another the most popular
of the arts, and one the enjoyment of
which is conditioned in a peculiar de-
gree on love, ii remains passing
strange that the Indifference touching
its nature and elements. and the char
atter of tho phenomena which pro-
d,ice it. or are produced by il, is so
general"
What we desire. is that the people OF
Augusta shall become Interested in the
enlargement and increased efficiency
OF tn" Festival Chorus. That it has
already done good work. no one ia
iniliar with it will question. That it
is capable of doing very much better
work. is also without question
Whether it succeeds in this. depends
! largely upon the patronage given it.
The chorus needs a large increase of
4, members who are DESTROYS of not only
| improving their voices but Of stimulat-
irg others to do the same. The past
year we have had eighty members; the
coming year. it ought to be doubled.
There is much musical talent in An
custa, not only in the middle aged but
ancng the youth and children.
Mr.. Chapman's idea is to enlist the
children. gaining an interest among
them in music. thereby starting them
early in musical training. 1t is no
time for me to attempt a dissertation
upon music, its benefits. its accom-
! plishments These are better learned
! by experience than otherwise. Scarce
ly anyone but is a lover of music; the
more they patroni2e good music, the

NlNETlETH ANNIVERSARY.
Mrs. Lydia Scruton Celebrates the
Happy Occasion.

Mrs. Lydia ScrutOn widow of Ham
son Scruton, celebrated her goth BIRTH
day anniversary yesterday at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. c. Il. Nor
ton, II Winthrop street Mrs. Scruton
is one of the pioneer residents of Au-
gusta. this city having been her place
of residence for over 30 years. She was
born in Belgrade Oct. 81. 1917, and
was the oldest of family of 10 sons
and daughters Of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Austin, most of whom are still! liV-
ing.
In early womanhood she married
Hanson Scruton, who was for a num-
Der of years proprietor of the Man
sion house in this city, one of the ia
nous hostelries of its time and IA
vorite stopping place for travellers
bound for Rockland. Bangor and other
points in Maine. Those We're the days
before the swifter trains had crowded
out the Oldtime stage coach. During
the early days of the Civil War, when
troops We're being recruited in Maine
to Le sent to the front, it was Il favor
lite coneregating place for the military
officers ana Of many Of these Mrs.
Scruton has Il distinct recollection.
The children We're born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Scruton Mrs. G. b. Morton of Au-
gusta and Fred s;cruton of New York
City both Of whom are living. There
are also three grandchildren. Mrs.
e., George Chatfield of New York City,
Stanley Morton of Cambridge, Mass,
and Miss Mabel Morton of Augusta.
Mrs. ScrutOn although not as strong
physically as she was a few years ago,
still retains her Vigor to q marked de-
gree and her faculties are perfect, ex-
cepting her eyesight, which is not so
strong as in the years gone by. Her
mind is wonderfully clear and her
memory is strong, enabling her to re-
call the happenings of years ago as
easily as though they had occurred but
yesterday.
For nearly half a century Mrs. Scru-
ton has been member Of the First
Baptist church and one Of its most ac-
tive workers. Up to within year she
was a constant attendant at all the
services. including the mid week
prayer meetings. in which she took
an active part. never failing to give
her testimony. She has been n widow
for two score years and during that
time her devotion to religion and in
tereSt in church work has been Il pas
sion with her. Up to last year Mrs.
Scruton has resided at her home at
IS State street the year around, but last
winter she lived with her daughter,
Mrs. Morton. Yesterday she walked
from her home on State street to Mrs
MortOn's residence walking home later
in the day.
Upwards Of 30 friends and neighbors,
including many of the older members
Of the First Baptist church, with wnom

more they are benefited. Now, we have
within our reach in our own city the
opportunity. We have q good nucleus
to start with and the best conductor
in the State to drill us. Now. shall
we become active or associate members
and either participate in the chorus
drills or become listeners? When we
consider that this chorus brings ia the
State every year the finest musical tai
ent in the world. are we not aStoundad
to think how little we realize the p:ivi-
icgoS and opportunities within our
reach" We have another meeting
Thursday evening Of this week at
Music Hall over Smiths music store
and we shall be pleased 10 greet many
who shall come with the intention to
become members. Consider this an
invitation to one and all. for this is or
may 10 your chorus, it is for YOU to
elect. The Augusta chorus stands sec
Ond to none in its efficiency; it only
lacks many more equally as capable
members to make it the strongest and
best chorus in the State.
Very truly yours,
CHAS. A. MILLIEEN.

AMUSEM ENTS,
Preseel!e, the Hypnotist.

Precelle, the noted hypnotist and
telepathiSt, was greeted last night at
the Opera house with a good sized au-
dience. appreciative at all times and
early in the evening thoroughly in har
mony with the motive Of the enter
tainnent. This is Prescellc's first ap-
pearance in Augusta. However. the
good sized audience that greeted him
and his company showed conclusively
that his fame had come in advance. 1t
was with some difficulty that he gave
his exhibition. for he was suffering
from 4 severe cold.
The first part Of the evenings pro-
gram was a short resume of the theme
hypnotism and suggestion by Prescelle.
Scientific suggestion" he called it and
then went on to explain what he meant
by the phrase. He dilated at some
length on the different educational in
situations that gave courses in this
Interesting study and then asked for
committee of men to come upon the
stage to witness the tests that he was
about TO perform. Four men respond

Then came the thrilling feature Of
the show. \ boy was hypnotiZed by

other boys mounted chairs and from

moments they stood. statuesuue, then
Prescelle made a motion and the boys
jumped from the rigid form of the sub

and the body. bearing the full weight
of the hypnotist, slowly bent towards
the stage. while the audience waited
with bated breath for something to
happen Something did happen when
Presccl!n made another motion and the
body rose to rigid position 1t was
a demonstration of mind over matter
