Chrome Journalism.

OF devices to dcpletc the pocket-books of the
credulous there is apparently no end. The
newspaper which claims to give premiums
price for single subscription is one iustra-
ton This chrome business does not wcr! wei
in Maine. Our people are too intelligent.
Still these gift enterprise advertisements are
skilfully prepared and well calculated to reach
the peoples pocket-books. Recently a gentle
man of this city was attracted by one, and
out of curiosity invested s. in six months
subscription to a 81 publication, with amam-
moth cyclopedia and the complete works Of
Charles Dickens in fifteen volumes as pre-
mum>. The cyclopedia was such only in
name. and may he set down fraud. Ii
consisted of four papcr-covered. wretehedly
printed volumes on miscellaneous subjects.
but containing far less information than the
average patent medicine almanac to be had
free at any drug store. The works Of Dick
ems We're thin, slazy pamphlets, printed from
small and worn out type on such poor
paper A. to be practically unreliable. The
cost to the publisher Of these premiums would
not exceed fifty cents. and this would net him
at the rate of So per year for weekly paper.
This Is a fair specimen of these Gift enterprise
schemes, although it gives q better equivalent
than most Of them. The Bath Independent
calls attention TO what may be considered ar
other phase Of chromlu journalism, a. follows !:
Last week the Lewiston journal contained
an article on the religious views OF actors an
parently prepared or5naiy for it. This week
we received a Jacksonville Tmes-U Mon of
same date with the same article apparently
prepared exclusively for il. The syndicate
business i Great stuff" as the BOYS say.
Shows originality You Know.
Half dozen or more of the exchanges re-
ceived At this Office contained The same article,
a they have many previous ones. but ali of the
papers do not claim eiitorially that they We're
written ">pecially' or "cNprcssll" for their
columns In fact they are written for one
mar, or a so-caed syndicate, in New YORK,
who pedileS them out to such papers As he can
prevail upon to buy. Ii he pay 800 for an
article and can get twenty papers to pay him
SO each for publishing it he realizes good
profit, and the newspapers get 500 article
for SO. This is legitimate enough. but the
chrome business comes in when the Podunk
Advertiser tells is readers that Mrs. Burnett,
Bill Nyc and others are writing specially for
Is columns.

Is now coming rapidly to the front as a Watering
place and summer resort, after mention Of the
recent improvements at Camden, Islesboro and

At Cape Rozier the land has been run out into
lots and numbered, several miles of fine roads
made, and nice granite wharf built at High
Head with storehouse. Another wharf to be built
ton and an artificial pond will be located on the

The owner of this pond may sell it some day to

CHATTANOOGA, March 31.-The Trades
man says that tho first quarter Of 1889
shows continuance of the remarkable in
dustrial deyelopement of the southern
states. During the quarter there have
been number of strong corporations
organized in the south, resulting in the
influx Of millions of northern capital. Ton
nessee, Alabama and Georgia seem to have
received most attention at the
hands of northern capitalists, although
much outside money was invested in
Kentucky and Virginia. A computation
made by the TrddeSmdn from actual re
turns received by it, shows that 69l indus
tries vera established in the south during
the past three months, against CPS new ,-
dustries established during the same period
Of last year.
TWO QUARTERS COMPARED.
Following is a resume in detail of the
chief new southern industries established
during the first quarter of the present year,
as compared with the number established
during the same period Of 1888:
