MAINE CHANGERS.
Their Annual Festival at Northport
a Great Success.

The annual festival of the State Grange,
which began at the Northport campground
near Belfast, Tuesday and closes today has
been great success. Tuesday over 1900 peo-
pie were upon the ground, and it was
thought there would be double that number
there today. The Worthy Master, Governor
'Robie. was also in attendance. The
number Of Changers is larger in Waldo
county than in any other county in the
State.
The opening meeting Tuesday was. pre-
sided over by Mr.. E. II. Gregory of Hamp-
den. The address of welcome was delivered
by Governor Robie, who in his remarks
passed in rapid review the organization and
growth Of the order in this country, and an
nounced that Maine stood third in point of
membership of all the States in the Union.
The members Of the grange were urged to
avail themselves of all the principles of the
order, that as much benefit as possible might
be obtained from the organization, and al
though there had been an increase Of about
80 per cent in the membership of the order
in this State since he was first elected mas
ter he urged that they be not weary in well
doing but to use their best endeavors to ex-
tend the organization as much the coming
year as at any time in the past
Hon. d. 81. Thing Of Mount Vernon was
the next speaker, and in his remarks called
attention to the need of getting all the good
possible out of the order as they go along.
Congressman Milliken was then intro
duced. He believed in organizations and La
Dor unions, he said, even though their mem
bers may sometimes go too far in their zeal
to benefit their conditions. The city is ben
ehted by such unions as the grange among
the farmers, for the country gives to the city
its manhood il it did not the city would not
maintain its existence for three generations.
II you go to the city you will find that the
men who do the business Of the city, who
carry on the commerce of the globe came
from the country, where in their boyhood
days they breathed in an atmosphere that
gave them an abundance of good health and
good courage. No danger can come from CO.
operation among farmers, for they cannot
move their business from the country as 9TH
ers can when the hour of danger comes.
The exercises closed as they had opened
with solo by Miss Alice Bicknell Of Bel
fast. The programme yesterday consisted
OF an address at 10 a. m. by z. A. Gilbert,
Esq, secretary Of the State Board Of Agri-
culture, remarks by Worthy State Lecturer
Thing, who was followed by other promi-
nent. persons present. Vocal music was
furnished by Miss Maud Milliken OF Belfast.
Today at 10 a. m, an address will be deliv-
cred by Howard Owen, Esq, of Augusta,
editor OF the Maine Farmer, and by Others
yesterday afternoon an excursion was made
to Castine by steamer and today there will
be one to Camden and vicinity.

EiGuISndnC COmmdn0eF NICHOLS, OF
U. S. S. Pinta, Presents His Report.
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Lieutenant Com
mander HI. f. Nichols, commanding the u.
5. 5. Pinta, in a despatch to the Navy De-
partment dated Sitka, Alaska, August 18th,
reports that since July 21st the ship had Wis
tied Howcan, Wrangel Shukan, juneau and
Killlsnoo, making short stops at each place
and during the summer visited nearly all
the principal villages in Southeastern
Alaska. The mining interest has received
great impetus from the success of the mill on
Douglass Island The first shipment of bull
lion was made in July after IS days work
and as he was informed $685. 600 was shipped
to San Francisco. 1t was estimated 1900 In
dlans were cOngregated at juneau, having
come from almost every village in Southeast
Alaska. Many of them work in the mines
and in cutting wood and many Of them ac-
cumulated good deal Of money which they
seemed to keep. Four of the miners who
were taken by the Pinta in May to Chilcoot
to go to the Yukon river, had returned
Ihey reported that as far as they went they
found nothing to pay. The Jurac river
mines Enormously called Juna in previous
reporls) had not turned out as well as ex-
pected though few miners were at work
still. Some quartz mining was going on at
Silver Bay, near Sitka. Many proSpectors
were out and the location of new ledges was
constantly being heard of but it seemed
probable that but few had any particular
value. There were no indications of trouble
between the whites and Indians, and Com
mander Nichols does not think there will be
any unless brought on by the ill-adyised ac-
tion of white men, ~

Especial to the Press.1

BIDDEFORD, Sept. 19.-The attendance at
the second day of the York county show and
fair has been good, and the exhibits in CITY
Hall and at the park have been examined
with interest by all. There is noticeable

hall has been thronged with boys and girls,

bition. The baby show, which has always
proved one of the leading features of the

classes are for those one year old and under,
and for those from two to three years old.
The speaking, which was announced to take
place in the hall last evening" has been post
poned to Thursday evening.

number 10 boots, made to order for man in
Lyman; also quilt, hand-painted pitcher,
cup and saucer, 100 years old, tumbler 100
years old, hand-painted punch bowl, and
PLAGUE 100 years old, exhibited by Mrs EE.
Sawtelle of Biddeford.

The Late Ex-Consul General Morse's
Case,

The Bath Times says in relation to the re-
port that the government has called upon
the bondsmen of Freeman H. Morse to make
up q deficiency of over $4,000 in his ac-
counts as Consul General at London, that
the ex-consul is reported to have claim
against the government that will offset the
amount figured out against him, probably
for purchases made for the United States.
Mr. Morse has always had the reputation of
straightforward and honorable man. This
unsettled matter has lain over about eigh-
Teen years. The bondsmen were Fred Pike
OF calais and j. Parker Morse of Bath. The
estate Of Parker Morse has been settled up
years ago. Mr.. Pike is wealthy man and
an able lawyer and the Times understands
ne Is making some efforts to obtain the ac
counts standing between Mr.. Morse and the
government. He has stated that he believes
the bond was given subsequent to the incur
ring of the alleged debt.
