A DECIDED SUCCESS
Scored at Concert by High School
Mandolin and GIee Club.

The Mandolin and Glee Club of the
Gardiner High school scored a decided
success Wednesday night at Library
hall in it's first appearance before the
public. The program was selected with
excellent taste and rendered most ar
Itistically. In fact there was more tall
ent displayed, both in the vocal and
the instrumental music, than is often
exhibited by amateurs. The Gibson
Quartet, composed Of True c. Morrill,,
first mandolin; L. H. Conant, second
mandolin; David Kelley, tenor man.
dola, and Frank Wise, mando- cello !;
afforded a pleasing feature of the en-
tertainment
The work of the club as a whole was
excellent in the opening numbers, "Di-
rector's Choice" and "a Day in the
Cottonfields," and was no less effective
in it's later selections. Miss B. A.
Anderson, soprano sang Bonnie Sweet
Bessie" charmingly. Messrs. Morrill,
and Kelley and Messrs. Conant and
Morrill, contributed instrumental duets
that delighted the audience In addi-
ton to the regular numbers of the pro-
gram the musicians all had to give
several selections to satisfy the de-
mands of the highly appreciative audi
ence.
The concert was followed by an in
formal dance.

The Storm Is a Good I'm.

The first real wintery storm of the
season sent shoppers and pretty near
ly everybody else skurrying to shelter
Wednesday afternoon, and as a natur-
al consequence the traders suffered a
slump in what started to be a snappy
holiday trade OF course those who
intended to buy turkeys and other
things for the Thanksgiving dinner
did not allow the storm, disagreeable
as it was, to deprive them of the fes-
tive delights planned for today. But
trade in other lines, especially fruit
and confections suffered considerably
M Heavy travel combined with the eff
fects Of the storm to throw both trolley
and steam cars off schedule.

Fire, broke out shortly after

fine stab he corner of Brunswick
avenue a ,.eal street, owned by DR..
Wooster iiddings. A horse and cow
perished in the flames and the house
caught firc several times but was kept
from burning by the heroic efforts OF
the firemen.
AS soon as 1t was seen that the
blaze was likely TO- assume serious pro-
portions a second alarm was sounded
by Chief Engineer Kendall. The wind,
which was nearly, if not quite, north
east, was blowing the flames toward
the house of Or. Giddings and the
work of the FREELY engine in drowning
the flames in the stable together with
the ample projection afforded the roof
of the house we're all that prevented
the burning of the entire set OF build
ings.
The fire caught underneath the sta
BILE, according to the testimony or
those who first saw it break ont, but
the manner of its origin seems sorne-
what of a mystery. The horse and COW
were smothered by the smoke in the
burning stable rather than actually
burned to death in the flames. The
horse was a good reader and priced
highly by the doctor and the COW was
also a valuable animal. The tops We're
burned off of several carriages and be-
tween four and five tons of hay. which
had been purchased only a couple of
days before, were also destroyed. The
loss will be between $4,000 and $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
This fire is the second enc which has
occurred in this city during the day.
The first fire was discovered about 5
A. NJ. Wednesday by Officers Cusicl<
and Wakefield as they were patrolling
the Upper Water street heat. This fire
was in the Sears blacksmith shop and
was burning along the floor when dis

Of employees of the Kennebec Light &,
Heat Co, and William II. Hinkley,
whose place of business is nearby, ex-

burned a hole in the floor about four
or five feet square. 1t is thought that
this fire caught from spark from the
anvil, which had smouldered during
the night until it burst into blaze.
