The working crews of the Lewiston
Augusta & Waterville Street Railway
were busy Tuesday with the work OF
digging the several lines of the system
out from under the drifts which were
piled up by the wind which accompan-
led Mondays snow storm. but while
they did good work and cleared the
greater portion of the line more work
remains to be done today. Along some
of the sections of the line. principally
between Augusta and Waterville the
men found the drifts the highest of
the winter. and 1t was late Tuesday
afternoon before the cars were run
ming through to Augusta. The open
ing Of this line opened the line through
from Waterville to Lewiston as cars
had been running from Augusta to
Lewiston since 1890 in the morning.
Work was also carried on out on the
Togus branch with the result that the
cars were running after 100. Tuesday
afternoon, but the Winthrop line was
still under the snowdrifts last night.
The snowplow and a gang of men Will
however be set at work early this
morning and the cars will be running
again as soon as II is possible 10 get
a hole through.

GRAVEURE CONCERT FRI
DAY NIGHT THE MUSICAL
EVENT OF THE WEEK

The program for the special Chap
man concert with Mr.. Graveure as the
leading artist which appears in another
column, is one to at once interest con-
cert-goers. Mr.. Graveures rendering of
the famous prologue from "FPagliacci"
invariably calls for the greatest en-
thusiasf. THE Trumpeter" by Airlie
Dix and FLOW Thou Regal Purple
Stream" by Arnold are two songs in
which Mr.. Graveure has made ma
tional reputation. In speaking of this
last song one critic says "he perform
ed a marvel of vocalizing."
In an Eastern city where this same
program was given is noted this crit
icism OF Mr.. Gardner: I'm the violin
ist Samuel Gardner, concerning whom
little has been said in advance, the
audience received a grateful surprise.
Suffice it to say that he is finished
performer upon this. the greatest in
strument aside from the voice and the
brilliancy of his performing was ap-
parent after his first set. He opened
the program, and the second of his
opening group although an old and
much played number, caused his hear
ers to sit up and take notice. Volume
of tone beauty of finish and correct
ness of production are evident in every
passage. In this Ave Maria. the Sec
ond movement taken in octaves and
played in perfect time followed by 9TH
or double stops played no less offec-
lively he had the attention of all, es-
pecially the violinists, and one OF them
said of his work at the close of the
program: Without casting reflections
upon others, I think ne is one of the
greatest violinists that has ever play
ed before an audience here.
This pupil Of the renowned knciscl
is certainly a credit to the master and
is himself an artist with a future

One Of the interesting personaees Of
1, IL L. L.

One Of the interesting personaGes Of
the city Is "Generar' George Washing
ton Grant. who has been employed as
general caretaker of st. Marks Home

years. He was born in ST Petersburg.
Fla. way back in the carly DAYS of
the Civi, War. and came to this CITY
with his wife In 1885, Mrs Grant pass
ing away a short time after they came
north. Since then, the General has
lived for 20 years in his apartment in
tho old Bridge block. where he acts as
his own housekeeper. He is very neat
and his little parlor is a very coy
place indeed, and he has n piano and
also a monograph, sharing the usual
fondness Of his race for music. He has
one peculiar trait which everyone who
knows him is familiar with, he ALWAYS
replies "kickir' little to all who
asks rs to the state of his health II
has been roughly computed that in the
past go years the General has said
"kickin' little so often that If he had

made the remark, he would now own a
pile of coin that would make John d
Rockefeller's appear like the income
tax of struggling newspaper report
er compared to the present price of a

of health. and announces his intention
of being right in sight" for several
years to come.

ACCIES BACK
FROM MONTANA

The Aggie basketball team has re-
turned from Montana, where they
suffered couple of losses at the
hands of Fred Bennion, who is coach
at the Montana State college.
The games, according to the peo-
pie of Bozeman, were beyond doubt
the best games ever played in that
school. The Aggies fought hard and
deserved to win. but being on a
strange floor with strange referee
the odds were against them.
Tomorrow night the Aggies play
the Crimsons in the b. Y. C. GYM
nasium. Coach Jensen fears the b.
Y. boys, because he knows the ad-
vantage that the small gymnasium
gives the Crimson boys. Besides
small floor, the boys are stiff and
sore from the Montana trip. Mckay,
McMullen, and Smith were heavily
bruised while in Montana. 1t is not
certain whether Mckay will be able
to play or not. On the other hand
the Crimson boys are certain of vic
tory. They claim the right to drub
the Aggies once year. Bernstein is
sure to do some heavy scoring, as
he has been practising a great deal
lately on long shots. Nicely, the
sturdy guard of the Crimson team
has twice shut out McMullen, and he
claims to be able to do it again. A
great deal Of money is being put up
that he cannot do 1t the third time.
Barlow has had a long rest and
promises to come back with a great
deal of pep. He will make things
interesting for Mckay, in case Nc
Kay can get into the game. It is
probable that the subs, Cox, Vorhies
and Twitchel will all get chance to
show themselves against the church
school. Cox plays center. Twitzell
forward and Vorhies at guard.
