AN INTERESTING CASE.
Registration Board Discusses Case of
Man Who Lived in Canada.

Lewiston. Me. Dec. S1.-Members of
the Lewiston board of registration
have been discussing, this week, the
case of a man named Levesque, who
has applied at the board for his name
to enter IN tho voting list. Mr. Lee
vesque was naturalized on moving to
Auburn, several years ago. He now
claims that he has been living for %
months in the Canadian northwest
and has returned to Lewiston to make
his home.
L. l. Haskell, member of the
beard. objected to the name going on
the list on tile ground that il was il
legal, for Mr. Levesque had lost his
residence in Maine. Mr.. Haskell said
that the law reads that a man who
lives in foreign country five years
or in his mother country two years,
forfeits his naturalization.
As the Democratic members of the
board did not agree with Mr.. Haskell It
was decided to refer the case to Mayor
Mercy. but as ne was out of the city
the facts were stated TO Judge Brann of
the municipal court, who was expected
10 give HIS deSiStoiA Nt tHS iSt0 e'tNNAtANoi'
session.
The law says:
Chapter 253i Act of March 2, 1907.
Sec , Where any naturalized citizen
shall have resided for two years In the
foreign state from which he came, or
for five years in any other foreign state,
it shall be presumed that he has ceased
to be an American citizen, and the place
of his general abode shall be deemed his
place of residence during said years,
provided, however that such presumption
may be overcome on the presentation OF
satisfactory evidence to a diplomatic or
consular officer of the United States. I'M
der such rules and regulations as the
department of state may prescribe.

Those who attended the presehta- :
ton, Thursday evening. at the opera
house of I'll Trovatore' by the Apofn
English Grand Opera Co, were IA
vored with an excellent rendering OF
verdi's splendid masterpiece, which
for many years has been one OF tue
greatest favorites of the grand opera

numbers were all given win power
and melodie inspiration.
The opera centers around an ao-
sorbiny story of medieval Spain. IN
which the rivalry of two men, broth
ers to each other unknown, one a
count ard the other troubadour, noth
in love with the same lady, forms the
center of the plot. 1t contains more
action and interest than most operate
lihrattos and the passages range from
sweetness and pleasant righteousness
TO tragic and passionate expression.
The first act shows the Two rivals,
Manrico. the young minstrel knight
y
(baritone) rivals for the hand OF
Leonorsl, countess of Sersaste $50
prano). The second act takes place
in the gypsy camp, where Azueena
(contralto) tells Manrico the terrible
story of how when her mother was
burned at the stake as a witch she
planned for revenge upon the ola
count to hurl the nobleman's child IN
to the flames but instead destroyed
her own child and that he is really
the nobleman's son. Fearing she VIII
lose Manrico she denies enough OF IL
to leave him in doubt as to her SAN
ity. Meanwhile he hears that Lenora,
to whom he was reported dead, Is
about to take the veil and he rushes
away to save her The third act pre-
sents the pretty convent scene. Count
di Luna arrives at the convent to take
Leonora but just as he seizes her from
the nuns Manrico comes up and. with
the aid of his followers liberates heI
from the count. In the fourth act the
counts soldiers succeed in capturing
Azucena in whom they recognize the
burned gypsy's daughter and as the
count hears that his successful riva
is her son she is sentenced to be burn
ed. The fifth act shows Manrico int
prisoned in the tower in the openint
scene. Leoaora offers herself TO thu
count as the price of freedom for th'
captives but, determined to be tru'
to her lover she takes poison. Sh'
