Early in August, LiewelIyn cains Of
Portland, Organizer and Conductor
OF Festival, Has Caolesram From
Miss York to That Effect

Augusta friends of Miss Helen York,
the talented young Augusta girl, who
mas Tor several years been studying in
Italy. and who during the past year
has won enviable laurels in that coun-
try as an opera singer, will be inter-
csted in the following which appeared
in the Portland Sunday telegram
Mr.. Llewellyn B. Cain, organizer
and conductor of the Saco Valley Mu-
steal Festival, has received a cable
gram from Miss Helen York who is
now in Naples, Italy. stating that she
will gladly make her American debut
at the Bridgton festival early in Au-
gust. Mr. Cain is very proud of Miss
York, his pupil, who is an American
girl, and who has won enviable lau-
rels as an opera singer in Italy dur
ing the past year.
1t is good news to many Portland
friends that Miss Helen York, the
brilliant Maine vocalist, who has won
such success abroad. will make her
Maine debut at the Saco Valley Fes-
tiVal, held at Bridston, August and
!.
Miss York is at present in C"""i.
Italy, with her mother Mrs. &. :.
York. and the following letter written
to Mr. York in Augusta gives the
latest news of the talented young
opera star who was coached in this
city by Mr.. 1.lewellyn &. Cain, who
is naturally very proud of the sue
cess of his pupil:
Helen has had such luck. or call
it what you will, but she sang La
Sonmanbula last Sunday evening,
making her sixth opera on Sunday
evenings and has sung 80 times. Her
teacher, Seba stiani. is tickled to death
and he told her Monday she would be
a second Patti. Now what do YOU
think of that" 1T is not only her
voice. but her presence. Always when
she sings people all over the house are
always smiling and it is such a pleas
ure to see her as well as to hear her
| love her particularly in La Sonmam-
bula and now comes the best possible
luck She has new contract to be
gin May 9Th and to extend two
months. but we shall not stay for the
remainder of the season. Helen will
sing ut least three more operas and
perhaps--four and we mustn't let such
an opportunity slip by.
This new arrangement will make
us little later home if our passports
ever do come and there are ships sail
ing from Italy.
1T is now our plan Gf we arrive
near Boston or New York; for Helen
to at once 90 to some of the best
managers and sing for them.
"As Yet there are no plans until
Helen has made her debut with Mr.
Cain at the Bridgton festival All our
families will be in Bridgton TO hear
Helen sing. I want mother, Laura,
Agnes. Mrs. Carl to he present as well
as the whole kennebec county, which
believe will be there. You are going
to have the surprise of Your life in
hearing Helen.
We will let you know the minute
we arrive. but you know there is no
way of communication before, so yon
will have to be content and wait as
we, ourselves must do. We shall COM
municate With Mr.. Cain as soon as
possible after arrival

When t. Salute the FLAG

There is lot of confusion in most
folks minds. as to when a flag
should be saluted. In the Army. the
sifken nColors" or regimental battle
flags, when unfurled, must always re-
ceive salute, whenever they are
carried past a man, or he passes
them. In fine weather, in camp, the
Color is usually planted in the
ground, before the coloners tent; ana
every one who walks by. salutes It.
A flag hoisted at the top of a pole,
or displayed from a building. is not
considered as a Color" and receives
no salute. The only exception to this
rule occurs at the evening ceremony
of retreat; there. when the Star
Spangled Banner is played Tor. IL NJ
band is present, when the bugler
sounds, Ito the Color"D. the soldiers
look toward. and salute the Blk camp
flag, as it is slowly lowered.-From
The American Boy.
