Appleton, of Bangor, is a member, being a vocal soloist and reader, and he has received many very complimentary notices from the press for his excellent singing and reading. I In speaking of the recent Brunswick concert by the clubs, th'e Bowdoin Orient says: "The annual concert of the Bowdoin Glee, Mandolin and Guitar Clubs was given a crowded hoube. The Glee Club was given an ovation when it came upon the 'stage. Old Memorial fairly shook with echoes as the club sang its selections. Everything went on with a snap and zest.

The repertoire is in keeping wiith college- life and feeling. The men I had confidence and were not afraid to let them- TREED BY A BEAR. An. Exciting Adventure at Lobster Lake. Black bears are not classed among tree climbers but one occasionally runs across a bear which makes a good bluff at it.

And no matter how strong a hand the man holds, he will usually "drop," or at least try to. Jim Collier did in a two-handed session down at Lobster Lake the other day. Jim is passing the winter at the Northeast Carry and is at present employed by the new telephone company, which proposes to string wires from Kineo to Suncook. The other day Jim was wandering along tho tote-road south of Lobster Lake, looking for tiees which might make good telephone poles, when he came face to face with a black bear. The bear was a large one and evidently looking for meat.

Jim was not, but be nevertheless pulled up his 38.55 and took a snap shot at the bear. Jim hurried too much and the bullet selves out. The mandola solo by Mr. mstead of entering the breast tore an Jordan was fine. One of the best numbers of the, evening was the dialect readings by Mr.

THE STRUGGLING YOUNG AUTHOR. Something New In His Experience, Which Inspires Him with More Hope Than Ever. "On a number of occasions," said the struggling young author, "I have received with manuscripts returned pleasant, kindly letters; but on one occasion only have I received with a returned manuscript, any critical comment.

Those who have had experience In sending manuscripts to publishers, and receiving them back, will bring to mind two sentences that are more or less familiar in the printed letters of declination. In one of these it Is set forth that the return of the manuscript by no means implies a lack of merit in It. but only that they have got their cold storage house filled clean up to the cupola with Just that kind of matter, and yours Is returned because they don't want to hold It years before publication. The other familiar sentence Is that In which the publisher says he cannot nndertaketo express any opinion concerning manuscripts returned. 'But I have lately received, with such a manuscript, a note ot comment, this being written in a memorandum of two lines, containing altogether about eight words, upon one of the regular return blanks.

Short as It was, this comment, I am bound to state, was comprehensive. In three words It acknowledged a good feature which the manuscript possessed; in three more it set forth wherein the matter was lacking. It was an accurate and a sage comment, and it said no; but I see In It, nevertheless, even more reason for hope than I found In the friendly letters. The letters Indicated a kindly feeling for the writer; the criticism an Interest in the matter. This begins to look like business, and I am waiting with confidence, perfectly serene, tor them to open the door, and aay: 'Come Tork Son.

The Democracy of Maine gathered in Portland tonight in honor of William J. Bryan, their national leader. Representatives were present from every city In the state and from nearly all of the towns, and the enthusiasm which has been pent up in this state for nearly a year broke loose at the bancuet tendered to Mr. Bryan at City hall by the Maine Democratic club. This was the crowning feature of a busy day.

Col. Bryan, with Congressman Lentz ot Ohio ami ex-Governor John P. Altgeld of Illinois, left Boston early this morning, and each snoke at a mass meeting held in the city hall at Lawrence at noon. That city was left behind at 2 o'clock, and at Haverhill Mr. Bryan appeared on the rear platform of the car and made a short speech to about 1000 persons.

He was presented with a large bouquet of roses and shook hands with most of thosa in his immediate vicinity. At Dover there was a large crowd who were indulged to the extent of a little handshaking, but from this point there was nothing of especial interest along the journey. Portland was reached at 5 o'clock and members of the party taken to the Hotel Falmouth. After a short rebt Mr. Bryan was tendered a receotion in tiro council chamber of the city hall, at which over 2000 people were present.

Following this was the banquet In the larger hall above. Four hundred covers were laid and the balconies were filled with spectators, the majority being laaies. The decorations were very simple. Col. Frederick W.

Plaisted of Augusta presided at the postprandial exercises and brought forth a btorm of applause at the mention of Mr. Bryan's name. The speaking begun at 8 o'clock and as there was another big meeting at the Auditorium, the three chief speakers were taken in turn from one meeting to the other. Ex-Governor Altgeld was the first speaker at City Hall. Mr.

Bryan was the nert sneaker and he was given an ovation surpassing any which he has received any tirio in New England. After speaking of his work In the east, Mr. Bryan divided the balance of his address into tho three parts and discussed in turn monpy, trusts and imperialism, jn the same manner as he did at tho recent meetings in Providence and Boston. Congressman Lentz was then introduced. The excitement and interest which was a feature of the Bryan meeting at City hall were being repeated with equal vigor at the same time in the auditorium, where nearly 6000 persons had gathered Tho order ot speeches was Lentz, Altgeld, and Bryan, and hardly a spectator left his seat until after the peroration of the latter.

It was a fine meeting for it represented the entire state. Among those present was Solon Chase, the famous "greenbacker." Mr. Bryan and his party will leave hoie at nine o'clock tomorrow for Portsmouth, at which place he will speak at noon. STATE COMMIT TfJC MET. Portland, Jan.

The Persian Causes Satisfaction--Building of a Bailroad Urged. St. Petersburg, Jan. 31. The newspapers here express immense satisfaction at the Persian loan of 22,500,000 roubles to be floated by the loan bank of Persia (a Russian institution), but think Russia showed "excessive delicacy" In not including the custom houses --of the ports of the Persian gulf, among the guarantees.

They urge the prompt building of a railroad as the best means of cutting out the claims of other nations. The Herald sees extraordinary significance In the conclusion of the arrangement, which It Russia Is resolved to assert her interests in Persia in a determined fashion. The paper also says it thinks Germany will not be, envious of Russia success "which can be regarded as Russia's compensation for Samoa."
