Kennebunkport Decides Against Introduce

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Kennebunkport July 22.-The village
people, hotel owners and cottagers have
been shouting for water, ever since the
Mousam Water company made its first
canvass of the town The farmers,
especially, those who are miles away from
the proposed line of water service pipes
are arrayed in solid phalynx against
saddling on the town the additional
''burden'' of $1,000 year hydrant rental.
The warefare eliminated this afternoon

and hotel sojourners that all attempts to
do business in the town house had to be
abandoned, and the meeting held beneath
natures canopy.
Moderator William H. Hutchins, Jr.,
did his best to bring harmony out OF
chaos, but all attempts to count noses or
hands in the densely packed hall ended
in utter failure. Three motions in about
as many seconds were fred at the moder-
ator as soon as he found his yoice. One

to indefinitely postpone the whole matter.
After the crowd had changed base from
the town house to the lot in front of the

were chosen and the voters We're ordered

FOREIGNERS RAN THINGS.
And Mass Meeting of Illinois Miners
Broke Up in Riot.

Spring Valley, ILL.,, July s9.-The mass
meeting of miners in this district was
held in the opera house this morning and
broke up in a riot, nearly dozen men
being seriously in jured. The cause of the
disturbance was an attempt to pass a
resolution binding the miners to pay five
cent contributions for each ton of coal
they mine to their striking brethren in
Indiana and sustain them in the fight
against reduction. The non-English
speaking class is greatly in the majority
and proclaimed. they weresready..to strike
on an hours notice. They had meet
ing of their own after the regular one
was broken up, and sfirey speeches We're
made in the French and italian langu-
ages. The split between the conservative
and radical elements among the miners
is now an irreparable breach James
O'Connor, the state president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers and District Delegate
Watkins were intimidated by the foreign
element and left the hall under police
protection.

troubles and Of the conduct of Miss r'oote,
as we'll as of Mr.. Goldsmith.
GOLDSMITH'S GIFTS.

She stated to the guests that Mr.. Gold
smith had recently given Miss Foote a
500. 900 house, and was constantly loading
her with attentions and gifts, while she
and her children were left entirely unnro-
yided for. She said that she blamed Mrs
Foote more than she did the daughter.
ing After telling all that she desired
she left the room.
The guests hastened to dispose of their
desserts. so that they might take nm
positions on the hotel piazzas where thev
might advantageously watch proceedings.
Those who first arrived there Witnessed
a most amusing sight. Coming from
Young's hotel was first Mrs. Goldsmith
engaged in weeping while little behind
her Was Mr. Goldsmith, engaged in per-
spring and probably using under his
breath language that would not bear re-
porting!
LANDLORD.
Mrs. Goldsmith hastened to her room.
while Mr.. Goldsmith also FASTENED into
the house, calling upon heaven and the
hotel keeper to help him out. The hotel
keeper did his part.
After hasty consultation with Mrs
Foote, he secured buggy. In the mean
time, Miss Foote had located herself on
the piazza Of the Atlantic house, where
she could see all that took place.
When Mr.. Goldsmith started from the
hotel in the buggy, she started from the
all joined in giving them pleasant (?)
farewell; and they departed amid the
waving of handkerchiefs and shouts
which might have been of derision,
driving towards Portsmouth.
A short while afterwards q bicycler
came back as a messenger.
GAVE THEM NO CHANCE.
Soon after Mrs. Foote secured double
seated carriage, and drove after them,
leaving by the back door SO that the
guests were unable to express their feel
ings at her departure, much their regret.
The trunks left York Beach by express
this morning; and on the 6. 45 train from
York, were Mrs. Goldsmith and her
detective friend Mrs Goldsmith looked
smiling, and the friend looked wise. 81
did not care, or expect to separate them, -
said Mrs. Goldsmith, "but wished
everybody to know what was going on,
and to make them leave if possible.
BY THE EAR.
1t is said that the scene at Young's
hotel after Mrs Goldsmith went there,
was decidedly interesting.
She found her husband and Miss Foote
in the large dining room eating, billing
and cooling. She marched up to the table,
and shouted out so that all might hear,
"this is Miss Foote, and this is my hus-
band. :"
Then she seized him by one ear and led
him out 1t is said to be doubtful If he
even stopped to pay his hotel bill.

THE MODERN BIBLE
So the Newspapers of Today Were Termed
at the Pan-American Congress.

Toronto, July 22 -Throe excellent pap
ers read by men of considerable reputis-
tion in the world of journalism, composed
the intellectual bill of fare at this morn
ing session of the Pan-American
by Rev. Mr. Clarke Of Trinity Universi-
ty, who, without any preface, intro
duced the speakers, Rev. DR.. Edwards,
editor of the Northwestern Advocate of
Chicago, read paper on Reforming
Printers Ink in which he advocated
a remedy for the publication of bad
books of all kinds of immoral literature.
He said that neither boys nor men read
good ones as easily. He spoke of the
crusade against immoral literature in
Chicago, and said responsible people
prevented by their disbelief in the wide
existence of this kind of reading matter
it's complete suppression.
Rev. A c. Courtice, editor OF the Chris
tian Guardian, spoke on Subjective
and objective methods OF reform: His
remarks were largely taken up with con-
sidering the question of state interfer-
ence. He considered from three points of
view, the complete, partial and munich
palizing of public franchises. He spoke
very strongly on the movement towards
complete interference on the part of
the state. He held that already we were
over govern 5d, as Well as pauly governed.
1t was opposed to all hope for reform
that further power be given men in pow
er err to feed themselves at the expense OF
the people. He held that the most eff
cient methods of arbitration and indus
trial cooperation and progress were
trades unions. He spoke of the great
change that had recently taken place in
England in consequence OF the spread OF
education. The supreme need of the
course of this continent was not armies
or money, but better citizens.
'The press as an educational factor,
was the title of d paper by Major B.
Merwin, editor of the American Journa
of Education of St, Louis. He held thai
perhaps the principal duty OF newspap
ers as an educational factor was to fl
and perpetuate the identity OF language
The newspapers of today he regarded al
the new revelation. 1t was the moderr
Bible.

MR.. wakefield NOT A CANDIDATE.
By His Request the PRESS Indignantly
Denies That He Has Designs on the
Office of Municipal Judge of Bath.
ESPECIAL. TO THE pREss.1

Bath, July 22.-The despatch in the
PRESS this morning regarding the re-
port that James W. Wakefield might be-
come candidate for the municipal
judgeship at the expiration of Judge
Coomb's term next December. if he fails
to secure the appointment of state liquor
commissioner, has caused a considerable
breeze in the political atmosphere here. .
The PRESS correspondent called upon
Mr.. Wakefield today to get his views on
the matter and he said: II wish to deny
in the most emphatic terms that have
any idea or any desire for the office of
municipal judge of the city of Bath. 1
had never thought of such a thing and
never supposed any one was foolish
enough to believe that 1 would accept it

this morning, stating that it was reported
that might try for it. -

The Defender had been gaining slowly

boat. At 1. 80 after board which had
lasted 30 minutes the Vigilant changed
to the port tack. This was due to a new
change in the wind which was blowing
from the southwest by west and in a
moment the Defender tackled too. She
was then about three eights of mile
ahead. A few minutes later both boats
went about again on the starboard tack
On this short board the Defender had
made good gain. 1t was one of the
times when the breeze favored her. The
Vigilant got the benefit of a little of it
little later, but the Defender continued
to gain. The new boat was sailing
beautifully, rocking gently and sliding
quickly through the water. She seemed
to gain every minute. Alta 10 the Defen-
der again made short tack to port.
while the Vigilant kept on her course
and at the end of three minutes the De-
fender went back to the starboard tack.
She had opened up third of a mile by
this tack. Twenty minutes later she
tackled for the second bouy just off Long
Branch, and pretty well in shore. Capt.
Half had figured very nicely and the turn
was by the
CLOSEST KIND OF A SHAVE,
at 2.5O-1. A few seconds before the De-
fender rounded the bouy the Vigilant
went about and stood away for the mark.
She made it 2 $3.50, more than seven
minutes behind. The breeze had begun
to freshen and the two yachts with wind
abeam and boom to starboard, squared
away for the reach home They. both
heeled we'll over and were racing through
the water The Defender had opened up
terrible gap by this time and the Vigi-
liant was plainly out of it. She hung on
gamely, but in the ten-mile run she lost
two minutes more. The Defender simp-
ly outran her. The fotilla of steam
to catch the Defender befor she got home.
At the end good sailing breeze developed
and the Defender crossed the line at
s 45. 90, winning the 5000 cup. The Vigi-
liant was far astern The Vigilant crossed
at 3. 54 49, After the Vigilant anchored,
