Worlds Fair Matters.
T Bangor Commercial.


Hon. J. T. Bass, of the board of World +.
Fair managers has returned from Water
Vile where he has been to arrange for the
closing of that citys subscription for the
fund for the Maine building, which the
large Maine places are raising. A number
of Watervile gentlemen assured him that
the whole amount would be forwarded at
once, the contribu tors including Hon. |. {.
Libby and Messrs. {. II. Nelson, Ed
ward Ware. 5. |. Abbott, NJ. C.. Foster and
citizens of like degree of prominence.
The interest shown by Mr.. c. II. Nelson
in Names representation at Chicago is
Characteristic of that gentleman and his
public spirit Some time ago when it be-
came apparent that the state appropriation
would be insufficient for the building, as
designed, and there was proposal to cur
tail the SIZE of the structure Mr.. Nelson
strongly urged upon the commissioners to
adopt no such course.
He argued that while Maine could not af-
ford such building as New York, Illinois
and some of the wealthy states, one should
he built that would arouse a feeling of
pride in the mind of every son of Maine
who saw it and there must be no steps back
ward from the plans then decided upon.
While he could hardly afford it, he would
quickly subscribe 500 towards fund to
be raised in Maine to enable the original
designs to be executed
IL was through the enterprise and inter-
est shown by men like Mr.. Nelson at that
time that the commissioners decided upon
this outside fund and the erection of the
splendid building, which already adorns
tj,p
Names resources, and the thousands hav-
ing an interest in the old State. who go to
Chicago next year will appreciate the eff
forts made.
Mr. ID. A. Booker of Brunswick the well
known Maine Central official who is in the
city today. is just home from Chicago, and
he says he was decidedly surprised at the
Maine building and thinks that all the visit
ors from the Pine Tree State will be. He
had no idea that it would be so elaborate
and beautiful in architecture and finish and
he thinks that Names representation in
this respect is all that could be desired.
Mr.. ID. J. Callahan, who is here in the
interests of the educational exhibit. has re-
Gently visited the State College, Orono, and
Old Town and Brewer, on the same bust.
ness Mr.. Callahan says that each of the
places visited will make fitting exhibits, that
of the State College being particularly
fine one At Orono he made pleasing adj
dress to the pupils in the high school build
ing, who were assembled in one room to
listen to him
Mr.. Callahan will also visit Ellsworth.
His personal interviews with the school au-
thorities and others interested are doing
more to accomplish the desired results than
could be done by correspondence or in any
other way, as he succeeds in imbuing all
the supervisors and teachers whom he
meets with some of his own enthusiasm.
Mr.. Callahan is emphatically the right COM
missioner for the work that has been as
signed him.

An address on the restriction OF immi-

tanned at least one good suggestion. He
recommended that every foreigner settling
10 the United States should be required to
deposit with the immigration authorities the
sun Of slOO. TO be repaid to him after
three years, If il could then be shown that
he was an industrious and Law abiding man
In case said immigrant became a public
burden the money should be forfeited. but
If he wished to return to bis native country
il should b. refunded to him. SUCH a
regulation would go far toward correcting
the worst evils Of immigration, and ought
to be carefully considered by all who are
wrestling with the problem.
