and in come the rising waters. When the
pool, which is about ten acres in extent, is
sufficiently filled, the gates are closed, and

the imprisoned waters are soon raised to a

the features of Petit Manan that is not

can be enjoyed to their fullest extent. To
such possibly the shores of Pinkham's Cove
and Dyer's Bay will have superior attrac-
tions. The cove is n narrow inlet extending
about half a mile into the and. Its shores
are adorned with overhanging groups of fair
mountain ash, whose delicate feather-shaped
leaves and dense clusters of cream white
blossoms form a p~leasiu. contrast to the
lustrous beach and cleaning waters. The
cove is a ~favorite boating resort, having been
made perfectly safe for women and children
by the construction of n dam 40 feet long

possess a desirable piece Of real estate, and
when the profits on the transaction will be
largely distributed, aud in some cases in a
measure return to the buyer, the whole en-
t~erprise takes on life and animation and
rapidly verges toward completion.
This Is just about the present position Of
the Petit Manan Land and Industrial Com
pany. Tho gentlemen who have under
taken TO develop the peninsula of Petit
Manan realize that the large profits which
the enterprise permits of must be widely dis
tributcd. Otherwise their operations will
halt and drag, and perhaps in a measure
fail. Accordingly, they have placed the
whole tract OF land, amounting to 2,5G5
acres, in the possession Of a company, and,
by having n large number OF stockholders,
they expect to difuse the profits of the
venture all over the country.
There is no question about the advantages
of Petit Manan. 1t is an ideal spot for a
enterprise. The company owns all the
land on the peninsula. Hence in improving
their own property they do not do this for
some one else's benefit. In a majority OF

And, besides all this, there are always
beautiful trips by the company's steamers
TO Bar Hnrbor, where for a short time a
closer contact with the world can be en-
joyed. 1t is only an hours sail to Bar Har-
Dor, and the %company's steamer makes three
trips a day, so that it can be said that all the
social advantages of Bar Harbor are at the
disposal of the residents of Petit Manan. In
addition to this there is communication by
steamer with Rockland, Maine, and also
with the railroad system of New England
via the Mount Desert ferry.
Some significant facts can be stated with
reference to the wonderful increase in the
value of real estate in the immediate vicinity
of Petit Manan. Previous to 800 land in
and around Bar Harbor sold as low as $40
per acre. Some of the same land subse-

ent time Is that they will he free from taxa
ton until the year 1905. This arrange
ment has been made with the proper
authorities, and, of course, is very valu-
able. 1t affords an opportunity of buying
now, and then letting them remain for the
rise in value which is sure to come. The
company will sell a lot 5Ox1OO. containing
5000 feet, for $3.50. Orthe same sized lot in
another location for $3.50, or perhaps in a
more favored spot for $500 and upward.
But all the lots will be beautifully located.
A few thousand dollars invested in this way,
even If no building is done, may make II
fortune for n man. None Of our city real
estate offers such inducements tor specula-
ton. especially when its freedom from taxa
ton is taken into consideration.
At present the company is selling mostly
to actual occupants. Our Illustrations show
the class of cottages which are being put
up. The company itself is building IA fine
hotel, a club house, and number Of other
houses. Improvements in the way of grad
ing, laying ont of parks, electric light plants,
&c, &c, have been going on for some time,
and it can be said that the property is in
good shape SO far as these are concerned.

establish Petit Mana as one Of the great
summe resorts of the country. After which

Tried to Capture n Meeting Of TaiIors; Had
TO SIT sun Instead and BE Abused.

Another stormy meeting of east side clothing
cutters belonging to Cutters Union No. 4 took
place at the Florence building, First street and
Second avenue, on Friday night. lasting until
tho early hours Of Saturday morning. The
presence OF number of policemen alone pre-
vented a free fight between the Socialists and
anti-Socialists. The meeting was behind closed
doors, tho policemen being admitted as privi-
legged visitors.
Several versions of what took place were float
iug around the east side yesterday. II appears
that the Socialists had made arrangements
to capture the meeting, but were fOiled
through the superior military tactics of Presi-
dent lieichers and Secretary White of the
United Garment Workers. Tho following is
the generally accepted version of what occurred:
The Socialists appeared at the meeting early
and made arrangements to run things. They
elected NJ. Lewis AS Chairman, but Lewis, fear
ing trouble, sent for a policeman, who came and
cat beside him on the platform.
Then Reichers and White became alarmed
and applied To the police for protection. Fifteen
officers were detailed to them to the
hall. They convinced tho policemen that they
and their followers had the right to run the
meeting, and told them to stay outside until
they were needed. When Rcichers and White
went into the meeting room there was a howl
from the Socialists. White mounted the plat
FORM anu began to denOunCe the socialists. An
nproar resulted immediately and White raised
his hand. This was a signal for Rsichers, who
winked at tho doOrkoeper. The latter opened
the, door. and tAereupon the fifteen policemen
rushed in.
Seeing this, the Socialists. who had Just been
declaring their contempt for policemen, made a
wild break for the door. The officers drew their
clubs and ordered body to sit down. The
order was oheyed, and Wnita proceed ed to roast
the Socialists. Several of the latter got up and

them, and his language was so cutting that

they arose and left the meeting.

q%uently was sold for Sl2,5OO per acre, the
purchaser being n member Of the Vanderbilt
family Of this city. Another and more nota-
bic case was that of n parcel Of land sold
by Mr.. Andrew j. Mills. The purchasers
were New York and Philadelphia parties,
aud they purchased n large tract from Mr..
Mills Mt u comparatively small sum. This
same land has been sold and is now selling
for $3.50 per foot, or Sl52, 400 per acre.
Another tract bought about the samo time
by some Boston parties is now selling freely
at from So TO S3. 80 per foot, thus netting
the fortunate purchaser $1,000 per acre.
Mr.. G. r.. Kennedy Of New York paid
SOL 900 for seven acres Of land, the grading
of which required five Thousand loads of
borrowed material. Mr.. j. Montgomery
Sears of Boston subsequently paid 100000
for one building lot of this same tract. In
Vulnerable other instances could be cited OF
fabulous sums paid last year for unim-
proved building sites in the immediate
n~eiRhborhood of Bar Harbor. AS last year
was II year Of great commercial depression,
the instances cited become still more re-
markable.

an unlimited amount of chagrin that pur
chases were not made when prices were
moderate and within the reach Of all.
The project appeals to New York business
men in two ways. First, as a place Of resi-
dence for themselves aud their families.
Secondly, MS an investment In the Petit
Mannn Land and Industrial Company,
whose stock, of the par value Of $40, carries
eight per cent. dividends, payable quarterly.
Perhaps II Is unnecessary to say anything
more on the first OF these questions, except
that n little investigation will show the great
advantages Of Petit Manan as compared
with any other growing summer resort at
present before the public. We are inclined to
think that in n few years Petit Manan will
be a much more delightful and exclusive
place Of residence than Newport il Mt pres
ent. If this proves to he anywhere near the
case, the stock OF the Petit Manan land and
Industrial Company is one of the beat stocks
Mt present on the market. Every foot Of the
1855 acres which the company owns will be
in demand, and choice lots will probably
bring close to 81 per square foot. Without
going into all this, however, we can easily
sec how quick sales can he made so as to nav
regular dividends to parties who invest in the
$780, 600 of treasury stock, which the COM
