DESCRIPTIVE MUSIC
TO FEATURE

The descriptive music created by
Richard Strauss for the crucial
scenes in the opera ranks with the
most remarkable eyer written. To
portray ugly emotions the composer
was not afraid to employ ugly
sounds Even the seyering OF the
prophets head is described in tonal
phrases that cannot fail TO evoke
a shiver from everyone who hears
them.
The Chicago Opera company'a
great tenor, Riccardo Martin. will
be heard in the role OF Hcrod
Georges Baklanoff will sing the
baritone part Of Jokenaan and other
important roles will be assigned TO
Maria cIaessens. Jose Mojica and
Alice D'HerInanoy.
The opera win be staged at the
Arena with exactly the samo cast.
and with the same gorgeous scenic
effects, as when it is performed at
the Auditorium in Chicago. Giorgio
Polacco will conduct. HIS reading
OF the intricate orchestral score Is
said to be ideal.

The facility that savages have for
passing along the news OF the day
from one tribe to another has Ions
been a matter OF perplexitv TO the
white travellers through the savage
countries.
An African traveller. Sh miles from
the nearest settlement, was informed
by one-of his native followers. one
morning. that his father had died and
that he must return to his tribe
The explorer told the native that Il
was lie and only an excuse to leave
the camp hut it was found out after
wards to he truth. Such instances
have been frequently noted by trav-
ellers in those countries and il is
known that these people have many
ways Of conveying information 10 q
great distance with rapidity.
One way is by means of smoke
Every tribe has one man who is
adept in the art of making smoke to
conform TO certain characteristics
which are understood for whom It is
intended. This man selects his stock
of wood with care. having in view
not only the character of the wood,
hut the degree Of moisture IN order
TO set different results. The charac-
ter OF the smoke cloud conveys the
message and il is passed from one
tribe to another.

NJ IllER KEEPS
EASTERNS GUESSING
TACONNETS V|CTORS
Especial TO Kennebec JournaD


Waterville, Aug. THE Taconnets
have at last struck a winning streak
according to the present outlook. for
the Easterns were helpless before
them this afternoon and the game
ended l0l with the local team on the
winning side all the way through.
Miller had a delivery that kept the
boys from up river guessing most of
the time, while Hogan dashed for the
sprinklers after the Allenites had
touched his offerings for 10 hits in
five and two thirds innings.
The first inning did not portend,
the slaughter which was to come for
both teams went sCoreless In the
second the Taconnets squeezed one
across the plate on a combination OF
hit by Slattery and error by
Thorne In the third the locals had
a swatfest that brought three more
men home Hogan helped matters
along by passing two men,
The real killing came in the sixth
when Hogan was replaced by Cal
laghan. the South Brewer southpaw,
after five TaConnets had crossed the
plate. In the seventh one more was
annexed off from Callaghan when
StoNer cracked out q triple and came
home on Millcrs single.
The lone run for the visitors came
in the third when Smith started off
the inning with a single and came
home on a double by Whitehouse fol-
lowing a sacrifice by Roche.
Miller pitched another fine game.
holding his opponents TO nine scat
tered hits. He had the best OF back
ing all the way through, Cutler ac-
cepted SIX chances in left field with
out miss and Phillips successfully
captured four flies in center
The playing OF the Easterns was
marred by several errors but at the
same time several brilliant plays
helped keep the game interesting. In
the first OF the ninth Brick Reed hit
what looked Ike sure single Just
over the second basemans head.
Heal dashed in and caught it on a
dive that nearly Knocked him unCon-
scious. The stands burst into hearty
applause for il was one Of the best
catches Of the year. The visitors
completed two double plays.
The was the first game for long
time that the Taconnets have not had
to fight UP hill all the way. They
took the lead from the start and it
was evident from the second inning
on that BaRgy's boys were playing an
excellent brand of bah. Already
their wins have caused them to
climb out of the cellar and while
their chances OF reaching the sun
berth are comparatively small they
have an excellent chance to come out
near the top with the present nine.
The Waterville fans have support
ed the team faithfully throughout the
season helped by fans from Wins
low. Oakland and Fairfield and with
out doubt the next game will see an
even bigger crowd Summary:
