Correspondence of the journal.
NEW YORK, July 4, 1892. Before this
issue of the journal will have been
thoroughly read there will have assem-
bled in this city one of the largest conven-
tons that has ever taken place in the re-
ligious world and in point of numbers out
rivaling the great political conventions
that have Just been held in the west.
In this large convention, which is to be
the 10th annual event of the United Socie-
ties of Christian Endeavor, the many
tlourishing societies of Maine, the birth
place of the organization, will be repre-
scented by no less than 400 delegates, and
| see by the Journal locals that Belfast
will have several of this number in attend
ance upon these meetings.
1t is estimated that there will be present
20. 80 delegates, representing forty
States and ten territories the Dominion of
Canada and other portions of the world
where societies exist. Nowhere but in the
bic Madison Square Gardens could this
convention think of obtaining anywhere
near adequate accommodations for this
mas, of people. And. yet, the Iseating
capacity of this vast auditorium is est
mated at only $1,000. it is evident that
should tie expected numbers arrive some

Last October it was wanted to hold
court at night and the clerk and sher-
if had to borrow lamps of private
persons around town to light the
court room. The commissioners
were informed that lamps should
be furnished to the court room
for use at any time About all the
notice that was taken was 'sha, ha,
ha, ha, he, he, ha, he." Last Mon
day evening the court wished to hold,
but darkness stopped proceedings two
hours sooner than they would other
wise have done. BY this the county
lost about $50. Thus the appalling
grandeur of the economic princi-
pies of the present board is con-
stantly impressing itself upon the
public. For Tuesday night, however,
the judge made an order that the
sheriff purchase lamps at the expense
of the county, and instructed the clerk
to write an order. He also made a
remark about this county, as com
pared with others on his round, that
causes one to blush and wish our
county management would not be
compared with others. 1t IS likely
that an order will be passed for other
necessities that the board has refused
to furnish. Oh, that Washington
