The New Union Shoe Factory.

From the time the first blow was struck
on the Union Shoe Factory, Feb. IA, it
materiallzed very rapidly into a most i'm
posing structure which will be an ornament
to the city. Its builder, Henry l.. Moor,
ESQ.,, of this city, has done a good faith
full job to the entire satisfaction of the
Company who employed him. As we have
said work was commenced on this build
ing, Feb. IA. and it was all completed just
one month later, March a. The struct-
ure is 100 feet long, 40 feet Wide and 40
feet high from sill to plate above the
basement 1t has two stories and base
ment story eight feet high. 1t has also a
very commodious attic which may be
utilized for business purposes. On the
western side is an elevator l feet square,
extending from basement to attic. On
each floor are water closets Of the latest
and IN st approved patent. The lumber
for the entire building is the best quality
of spruce. The frame was furnished by
Colin Mckenzie from bis mill at Otis, and
the remainder of the lumber by Whitcomb
Haynes OF this city The cross beams
are all whole length sticks, without
splice IN any of them. The building has
l29 windows and on the top is cupoa
which will he utilized as ventiator In
the southeast corner, on the first floor, is
a nice Office, II l-2 feet square. A boiler
house 24x20 feet is yet to be erected, The
engine will be In & basement The boiler
has already arrived from Boston. and Is As
horsepower. The engine will be 80 horse
power. The basement will be used as sole
leather room and the first and second stories
for manufacturing purposes. The whole
building will be heated by steam. A large
part of the machinery is already in place
and it is confidently expected that the
factory will be running before the lst Of
just what The capacity of the factory will

and the weekly or yearly number of cases
Of shoes it will be able To manufacture.

gradually developing its strength, little by

piny is first class one and the citizens Of
Ellsworth and the public may expect from
it all that energetic and judicinu- manage
ment can accomplish.

Isn't it about time for the Democratic
press to stop circulating Misrepresentation
about the reciprocity treaty with Brazil?
First they said there would be no treaty.
We'll, the treaty was negotiated. Then
they said the treaty would not be approved
by the Brazilian government, which has
been proved false by the arrival of the
official proclamation of the President of
Brazil promulgating the treaty and explain
ing its provisions. Now, because there is
nothing else to say, they are shouting that
the treaty will be of no benefit to the
United States. Come, gentlemen, this is
childish If you are not willing to drop
your partisanship long enough to give the
administration credit for having brought
about good thing, at least have the decen-
cy to keep quiet.

Evangelical homemade candy" is
the latest device adopted to draw the null
titude to the church fair.
The advertisement is decidedly rich,
whatever may be said for the candy. Peo-
pie might differ, though, on definitions.
Evangelical" candy, according to our
thinking, is the pure unadulterated article,
honestly and faithfully prepared, and then
sold at the rate of sixteen full ounces to
