Not Visitation but Recitation.

To the Editor or the PRESS:
Will you kindly allow the writer of the
report of the W. c. 7. U. m onthly meeting
published in this mornings edition of the
PRESS to correct a typographical error
which If literally accepted would be rather
misleading. The writer says ''This kinder
garten school (W. G. 4. u differs from the
ordinary free kindergarten in that it has
but one-half days session and carries on q
system of house TO house visitation among
it's pupils" Sometimes type like people is
not easily controlled and when it forms the
word recitation" out of visitation il
shows its perversity and inclines one to the
belief that there may be after all a tota
depra witty of inanimate things. NJ. E. q.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
FALSE IMPRESSIONS
Are Misleading.

Some of our old time customers and
friends Inform us that our method of
advertising, particularly that part which
relates to special leaders in LOW
PRICED GOODS, has conveyed an i'm
preston to some people that our entire
stock predominates in common clothing.
SUCH is NOT THE FACT. No better
clothing is made tt an can be found on
our tables. If every buyer Of clothing
were familiar with the quality of ma
! terial used, make, fit and finish, our
prices would not only commend them
selves but would be AN eye-opener
when compared with those charged else
where for similar goods.
Another wrong impression-which is
freely circulated by our competitors-is
that we are here only for few weeks
We have leased our store of the J. B.
Brown Estate and are here to stay, and
if business continues to boom in the
future as in the past we shall need MUCH

clude to buy you may take them away,

garment for garment, fit, finish and
price, with what you may see elsewhere,
and if our price is not from SIS to 81 less
than all others, come back and get your
money, and adollar bill for your trouble.
Can we use stronger language? Can we
present more forcible arguments than
the fact that our CLOTHING is GOOD.
and that there ARE DOLLARS TO BE
SAVED at Uncle SANS Clothing Co.?

dollars and twenty-five cents, and bear

ispecial to the PRESS.

Bath, June 9-The directors of the
new Bath shoe Manufacturing Company
have been deciding just where to
locate the new factory and several build
ings as well as lots have been under con-
sideration 1t was at last decided to pur-
chase lot on the east side of Middle
street in that part of the city known as
John Lows valley. Accordingly on Sat-
urday afternoon lot 1OOEby $50 feet was
purchased, the price being, so the PRESS
is told, 5000, it being bought of Joseph
M. Hayes.
A new two-story building will be at
once erected and work upon it will be-
gin at once, after which the machinery
will be put in.
This lot will be an excellent location as
the M. G. R. r. tracks pass directly at
the rear of it, 1t is in location that was
occupied mainly by old houses, which
will be removed
Eugene Mitchell, who lives at the north
end, had great luckin fishing. He caught
in his net three sturgeon which weighed
1874, 106, and 1OS pounds each respectively

suit which is about to be brought against
Champion James j. Corbett is a woman
of several names 13i=
She is commonly known here as Hattie
Clarke, or Pearl, . but it is also various
ly alleged that her real name is Esmond,
Williams, Shaw and Percival. Mrs
Corbett does not know what to call her;
her friends are non-committal, and it is
claimed that even the "champ' himself
is in doubt as to which name she has the
best right
She is about 80 years old and is said to
come from good Chicago family.
Three years ago she cut quite dash at
Newport and Long Branch, her protector
then being the son of a New York fnan-
cier. She then returned West, going to

she met the champion, and then began

proceedings are the elimination 1t is
said that she is remarkably well pre-
served, and has a singular charm of
manner. 1t is alleged that the relations
between the pugilist and the woman were
conducted openly, and that his infatua-
tion for her was of such nature that he
has not only introduced her as his wife,
but has been, until very recently living
with her in this city, without any effort
to conceal their relations.

NAVAL OFFICERS ANXIOUS.
Can Marblehead Pass Through Kiel Canal
Without Grounding?

Washington, June s.The navy depart
ment received cablegram today from
Admiral Kirkland, noting the departure
of the San Francisco and Marblehead
from Southampton for Copenhagen,
where they will be followedssin few days
by the New York and Columbia, and the
Marblehead for Hamburg, where she will
join the especially selected light draught
vessels, one from each participating
nation, which makes the procession
through the canal, to be welcomed by
the assembled squadrons at Kiel.
Some anxiety is felt by the naval Off
GERS regarding the Marblehead's passage
of the canal which, through ultimately
to have depth of 80 feet, is still far
from completed.
The Emperor yacht, the Hohenzollern,
in making a preliminary run through the
channel last month, touched bottom,
which caused the German government to
modify the programme regarding the
procession of June 10, leaving out the
war ships, which it was at first intended
should go through the channel, and in
vited the participating governments to
send despatch boats.
AS the United States has no such boats
available the Marblehead was suggested
and accepted. She will be the Largest
vessel in the parade.

| Bangor, June 9-Has Bangor fire bug?
| Is the question that is being asked by
hundreds of the people here tonight.
From all appearances many are led to be-
lieye that there is one At s o. clock this
evening an alarm of fire was sounded
| from box 23, and the department. was out
on the streets with a rush. This box is
in the centre of hundred of thousands of
dollars worth of property, and when it
is sounded everybody hurrys to the scene.
AT the corner of Hammond street the
fremen were sent through Columbia
street to the Free Baptist church, which
they found to be mass of flames. In
the interior panic was narrowly averted
when the fire broke out. The Sunday
school was holding it's 50th anniversary,
and the programme had arrived at a
point where the pastor, Rev. G. B. Ilsley,
was making the address. His wife was
sitting in the front pew in charge of a
class of children, which made up of a
small part of the church. Mr.. Isley said,
This is our 50th anniversary, and he
had hardly got the words out of his
mouth when Mrs. Ilsley began beckoning
| to him. She saw the smoke coming up
through the floor directly behind the pull
pit, but could not call her husbands at
| tention She turned around and spoke to
| Superintendent, A Y. Ray, and he
walked into the pulpit and explained to
the pastor the cause of all the commotion,
and then asked the congregation to quiet
ly leave the church. They did so quickly,
but not more than score of people knew
what was the matter. The entrance to
the church is made over a long and steep
flight of steps, and several people We're
knocked down in coming out of the
building, but none were seriously in
jured Nearly all of the people had got
out when the firemen arrived, and several
lines of hose were strung, and some hard
| fighting had to be done in order to save
| the whole building from burning. One
end of the church was badly Quilted, and
there was great damage by water. The
fire was undoubtedly the work of an in
cendiary There had been no fire in the
church for two weeks and some believe
that while the services were going on up
stairs some person went into the yestry
and started the blaze The church was
repaired several years ago at a great ex-
pense. The loss is estimated from $4,000
to S5000

Vienna, June 9,-Ten thousand work
inglnen attempted to hold meeting in
the Prater at 8 O'Clock this morning, but
q great force of policemen mounted, and
on foot, prevented them. A large number
of the crowd went into two saloons on
the Prater, where speeches were made.
Herr Dagelbert Pernerstorfer, the Radical
member of the Reichstag, and Socialist
leaders, spoke against the ministers
franchise scheme, and insisted upon the
right of public assembly. The police
made several attempts to silence the
speakers, and finally arrested the leaders.
The crowd became greatly excited, and
it was necessary for the police to fight
their way out with the prisoners. The
officers used their sabres freely. A charge
was made on the crowd in the Prater-
Strasse, which was soon cleared. Later,
the mob gathered again and paraded the
streets 1t was feared an attack might
be made on the public buildings and
strong forces of police were detailed to
guard the ministerial offices and Parl ia
ment house.

European Members Will Have Nothing
Further to Do With the Turks.
London, June 9-The Daily News dis
patch from Turkish Armenia, dated
June 8, sent via Kars, Russia, June 8.
The despatch says the Armenian COM
mission sitting at Moosch closed May 81,
the European delegates telling the
Turkish members they could have moth
ing more to do with them. The final
cause of the rupture was the refusal of
the Turkish commissioners to examine
important witnesses basing their refusal
on purely farcical grounds. The News
commenting on the despatch says the
attitude of the Turkish commissioners
have been invariably increasingly dis
honest, and their recourse to bribery and
coercion, is prompted and ratified by the
highest authority in Constantinople
