Beaten by Maine Concerns.
AUGUSTA, September 26.-Last spring a
combination was formed by the oilcloth
manufacturers of the country to put up the
prices of their product, and they arranged
schedule which was to bring about an in
crease of eight or ten per cent. to remain in
force six months t, December 1st. But, un-
fortunately for this scheme, c. M. Bailey,
Sons & Co., of Winthrop, and another Maine
concern did not enter into their combine"
and the former, improving their opportunity,
sold all the cloths they could in the markets
of the country at figures below those of the
trust. AS their facilities for manufacturing
are very extensive the schedule prices
suffered. Then the other company mem
toned above, dispensing with travelling men
and jobbers entirely, sent out circulars to
the retail dealers throughout New England
and New York, with selling prices of their
goods from fifteen to twenty per cent lower
than those of the trusts. The outcome is
that the attempt to sustain an advance
schedule has about, if not wholly, failed. and
really there Is not much increase over the
old prices.

Presentation OF Portrait to Major
Dickey.

Immediately after adjournment in the
afternoon, number of the members as
sembled in the lobby between the Senate
Chamber and the Hall of the House of
Representatives, where, placed in a con-
spicuous position, was a portrait of Major
Dickey, the veteran legislator from Fort
Kent.
Mr.. Chadbourne of Biddeford said:
Major Dickey-The duty of presenting to
you this portrait of yourself has been i'm
posed upon me by large number of gentle
men, members of this House, who hold you
in the very highest esteem, and entertain
for you the greatest respect, not alone by
reason of your age but by reason of the
treatment they have received at your hands
Many have met you here before and as many
have, for the first time, met YOU here
during this winter. As a slight token of our
appreciation of the services that you have
rendered to your State, we have assembled
here to present to you this your own portrait,
to be regarded. by those who may look upon
it as token of the appreciation and of the
esteem in which you are held by your fellow
members of the legislature of 1889 Its
pecuniary value is in no degree mark OF
that appreciation. 1t is only a slight token,
but it seems peculiarly fitting, in that it is a
work of art, made. bought and wrought in
the city of Bangor, place which within your
remembrance was once considered Of slight
Importance. 1t was regarded then as in the
far east. while now you come to this House
from a locality hundreds of miles east of
what was then regarded as the eastern por.
ton of our State. We thought it eminently
fitting that this work of art should come from
that city. and we hope that you will appreci
ate it not by reason of its pecuniary value
out as an expression of the affectionate es-
TEEN in which you are held by your fellow
members of this House.
Major Dickey responded as follows
Gentieuer.-To you, and through you to
the donors of this likeness ! extend my sin
eere thanks. This gift will be appreciated
not more by myself than by my wife and
children. To those who gave it to me in
their Kindness, feel as grateful as though
1t we've of the intrinsic value of thousands of
dollars. 1t happens, a. learn, that most OF
the donors are young men, and if there is
any portion of humanity that love it is the
young men-the rising young men of our
State. thank YOU and thank the donors
most sincerely, and accept the picture, and
ever, in looking upon it, will remember those
who gave it. Applause.
