A Very Pleasing Concert.

Something of a treat for music lovers
was given by the Schubert Symphony
Club ard Ladies' Quartet last evening
in City hall to a very good sized au-
dience. The members of the troupe
are good artists and the numbers by
Thomas Purcell on the violin; Marie
Teresa DeGraSse in readings and the
Schubert Lady Quartet. consisting of
Vera Edith Young. first soprano; Marie
Teresa DeGrasse. second soprano;
Kathryn Roberts. first alto and LOWE
Zendt Purcell, second alto, were es-
pecially enjoyed by the audience.
The company was asked to give
double numbers by the audience IN
nearly every instance. which would in
dictate that the work of the concert
party was highly satisfactory. One
thing that was especially pleasing was
the graceful manner in which the diff
ferent numbers were given by the
troupe. Mr.. Purcell with his violin had
the audience with him and the soprano
solos by Miss Young were greatly en-
joyed. Miss Young showed her great
range i'm the selection, Sing On" Miss
Purcell captured the audience with
her contralto solo. given in good style

While the mandolin and guitar es-

The concert was given for the bene-
fit of the Smith Grammar school and
under its auspices. Money received

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The total game receipts Monday at
Bangor were Il deer and one moose.
The owner of the latter was able to
satisfy the wardens that the animal
was killed in open time so lad no
trouble. This brings the total moose
receipts to 16S while 2213 deer have been
brought through Bangor and 80 bears.
Bingham has a case of small poX
brought probably by men coming from
Geo Gorden's camp. 1t seems that
doctor had been called and pronounced
it chicken pox, but later the Board of
Health decided to have the State in
spector and he said it was small poX.
AS several men have been out from
the camp it is uncertain how far it has
been carried. The Board Of Health is
using every precaution to prevent its
spreading any farther and it is hoped
that the worst will soon be over. All
public meetings are prohibited for an
indefinite time.
Sanford Pelkey. boy about is years
Of age. started from his home in North
Bancroft, Nov. %. to hunt for deer iii
that vicinity and has not been seen
since. A large crew of men have been
searching the woods daily but no trace
of him has been discovered. The forest
is too limited in area for him to not find
his way out in a short time. so it is
supposed he either shot himself or was
drowned while attempting to cross the
Mattawamkeag on the ice. 1t was in
the vicinity where Harold Whitney was
supposed to have met with foul play
about two months ago while hunting.
