Labor Trouble In Bath.

Some days ago the New England Ship
building Company OF Bath made rcduc-
ton in the pay of workers and the Knights
of Labor ordered their men out Of that
corporation and ordered them out Of the
Bath Iron Works although there had been
no reduction in pay and nocomplaint
among the workmenin the latter. This has
created great excitement in the city and
caused great disturbance In business cir
cles, and it is hoped it will be satisfactory
settled at an early day.

Not Easily Satisfied.

With plurality of 1850 for the Re-
whelming majority in both branches Of
the legislature. nine-tenths of the republic
can nominees for county officers elected,
our democratic exchanges are not satisti
ed, claim great gains, and figure out for
their party victory. II this is democrat
ic victory what must have been the out
look of the party and what would have
been defeat
Our opponents persist In comparing the
vote of 1856 with 1884, the last Presden-
tial year when Mr.. Blaine was the republic
ran candidate and when all the conditions
were favorable to an extraordinary vote.
They ignore the vote Of years ago which,
with the exception that then we had re-
publican Administration at Washington
and now democratic, the conditions are
substantially the same
1t Is claimed that Mr. Blaine took ac-
tive part in 1886. So he did In 1882.
That he is a prospective candidate for the
residency two years hence, and therefore
vigorous efforts were made In his interest
TO win great victory So he was In
1882 and his friends and republicans all
over the state were wide awake and very
active then. There was double the speak
ing by republicans in 1882 that there was
in 1886. As matter of fact the republic
can campaign this year, although well
conducted, was the quetest for years.
There was not the least excitement and
many republicans remained at home elect
ion day simply because they believed every
thing was going all right and their votes
were not needed.
On the other hand, democrats started In
on the 'still hunt theory worked persist
emily and having the benefit Of the Admin
istration at Washington and got out full
vote. Whether having the Administra
ton did or did not benefit the party and
give 1t strength in Maine, may be a ques
ton, but 1t counts as an element OF
strength and certainly is not the fault o.
republicans If 1t Is not such. There
fore we say 1t Is generous on the part o
republicans to be willing to estimate thei
gains on the basis Of the vote of 'S2 ant
is the grossest injustice for democrats t.
insist upon comparing 1t with the UMPIRE
cedented republican vote Of 1884.

committee appointed by the York county
Congregationalist conference and ono appointed
by the Free Baptist churches have lately held a
meeting and unanimously decided in favor Of a
closer union Of the two denominations. In
other parts Of the state a breaking down Of de-
nominational lines is noticed 1t is believed BY
many that one strong church in small village
can do more good than two feeble ones Where
the forces are too much scattered, rivalry is apt
to come in and the consequences of a house div
ided against itself to be unhappily visible.

again the next day and was told to call again
the following Monday when the priest again re-
fused. She persuaded him to go with her to
Archbishop Corrigan for a special dispensation,

upon the young lady declared that size would go

DELICIOUS CAKE.
TOothsome MorseIs Made According tS
 Miss ParlOa's Recipes.

Toothsome MorseIs Made According to
 Miss Parloa's Recipes.
 At one of the lessons given by Miss Parloa in Boston. the following cake was made: A generous cupful of but ter was beaten to a cream, two of sugar added gradually, the juice of lemon. the yelks of five eggs and the whites O. three, small cup of milk, and three cups of pastry four, through which was sifted two teaspoonfuls of baking pow der. The whole mixture was stirred rapidly and thoroughly, and baked in two sheets in moderate oven for twen- ty-five minutes. It was then cut into small squares, a portion of the crust re- moved from each, and the cavity filled with preserved strawberries. This was not done until the cake was cold. The crust was replaced and covered with an icing made as above. This is called Viennois cake.
 Fairy gingerbread will be appreciated by the little ones. Beat until light cup of butter and two of sugar, stir in one tablespoonful of ginger and one cup of milk, in which has been dis solved three-fourths of teaspoonful of soda. Stir in four small cups of sifted flour, turn the baking pans upside down, wipe very clean, butter lavishly and spread the mixture upon them very thinly. Bake in a moderate oven until brown, and while still hot, cut into squares with case-knife and slip of the pan. The two important points to remember are that the batter must be spread very thin, and cut the instant it is taken from the oven. It should be kept in tin box. A large dish can be made with the quantities given above.
 It is quite possible to make very de- lightful cream cakes in the precincts of ones own kitchen, as 1 know from ex- perience. The friend who gave me this recipe superintended the first operation, and the result was very satisfactory in- deed. Boil together one pint of water with half a pound of butter; as soon as it reaches the boiling point stir in three quarters of a pound of flour; let 1t cook a moment, and when cool add ten eggs well beaten and scant teaspoonful of saleratus and one of salt, dissolved in a very little boiling water. Drop with a spoon on buttered tins little distance apart. Bake in quick oven; they will puff in baking. When done and cold, cut one side large enough to insert tbe cream with spoon. This will make sixty cakes The cream is made by beating two cups of sugar with four eggs; add a cup of flour and as much of quart of milk as is required to make smooth and thin paste; heat the re- mainder of the milk to boiling, and pour the above mixture into it; stir constantly until it is sufficiently thick ened; flavor with vanilla. Do not use 1t until it is cold. It should be made in custard or farina kettle.-COr. Rural NeoO Yorker.
