Of stairs. They had reached the top
of these stairs, according to the own
ers Of the place, but hadn't stepped
within the doors leading to the dining

down the entire flight. He struck the
swinging doors at the bottom head
first-and they swung to upon his
neck and collar. leaving just his head
projecting into Exchange street, in a
most singular and unbecoming man.

When Cone finally got the door to
behave, and found where his hat had
rolled into the gutter, he gave evil
dence Of being very much annoyed.
But he is a quick witted man, and
so he merely returned to where Bab-
bin still stood at the entrance of the
dining room. and knocked HIM down
stairs. Babbin didn't have so far to
go, because, when about half way
down, he met Patrolman Veilleux. who

FINE CONCERT
IS RENDERED BY
LOTUS QUARTETTE

The Lotus Male quartet OF Boston
gave on Tuesday evening at the Coli
scum one of the most delightful eve
ning's entertainment that has been had
in Gardiner for some years. In this
they were assisted by Miss Ethel Bat
ting, an entertainer Of much skill. There
was a fine audience and they we're ap-
preciative, being generous in their ap-
plause to which the artists responded
graciously. The hit of the evening was
the rendition of "Miserere" from II
Trovatore which was indeed musical
gem as rendered by the Lotus. Miss
Alice Richards was the accompanist for
this. The solos by Messrs. Raymond
Hicks, and Canrell were also especially
we'll received.
The quartet is composed Of Robert
Martin, first tenor: William Hicks. sec
ond tenor: Nelson Raymond. baritone;
and Frank Cannell, basso. These gen.
tlemen are all possessed Of voices of
pleasing quality and smoothness and
the harmony produced by the combina-
ton was a revelation to some Of the
audience. Miss Batting has an eXcep-
tionally fine stage presence and her
work showed faithful and conscientious
study. Equally pleasing in humorous
and pathetic pieces. her boy imperson-
atoms were perhaps the best received.

which both the Maine senators had borne
