AN ADVERTISING SCHEME AND A NOVEL MATCH
MAKING MACHINE.
The match factory it is proposed to estab-
lsh in Maine is a novelty, aud if the expec-
tations of the projectors can be realized will
work a revolution in the match business. A
syndicate has recently been formed which
owns "a patents covering match manufac-
turing machine, which not only makes the
matches at a very rapid rate, but prints an
advertise ;nent on each of the four sides of
the match. 1t uses any kind of soft lumber,
pine white Birch poplar and the like. The
fed INTO the machine from which they
emerge finished, printed and boxed. A Chi
cago concern offers to pay for their adver-
tsement on the matches sum sufficient to
defray the entire cost of production aud 10
per cent on the capital invested, provided
the machine is a success. No machines
have yet been made, but expert machinists
think it will do the work as represented.
The company asks the town where they
locate to give them four acres of land for a
factory, exemption from taxation for three
years and that $4,000 be subscribed to the
capital stock of the company. The agents
of the company have visited several other
places in Maine and have made similar
here, a reluctance to go into the investment
on account of the uncertainty about the
machine doing the work as expected.

The PiItsfield Water Works.

The report of the Committee on Water
5000 IS, of which $15, 900 is now owned by
Capt. Charles Baker of Belfast. Tie town
has the privilege of buying Capt. Bakers
interest in the system at cost at any time.
SO the town up to date has expended in the
construction of water works system thu
sum of $50, $3.50 4S.
The construction committee, James f.
Conner, Oramel Murray and N. l.. Perkins,
have represented the town faithfully and
efficiently in this work. We have as good a
system OF water works as there is in the
State, of its size, and one commended bv
water works experts everywhere
The report of Supt Murray shows that
the expense of running the plant the past
year was S3,G03 80 The receipts from
water rental have amounted to 50, 13S.-
o. more by 5000 than 1t was estimated the
first years receipts from this source would
be. Add to to this 81 800 raised by the town
for hydraht rental and 81 600 raised for in
terest on the bonds, and the total is 81 :
63S Oh. Deduct the years expenses and
there is a balance of 81 O34 GA, in favor of
the town. OF this 81 ,0O0.2s was used to put
in service pipes, permanent and necessary
expense, leaving small balance on the
right side.
This is a remarkably good showing. The
water rates have not been excessive, and
the tendency in future, after the plant be-
comes well established, will he toward low
er rates for the water consumers and less
expense to the town for water for fire pro-
lection and other municipal purposes. Pitts

day afternoon during the thickest of the
snow storm after being about week on her
trip to Rockport. She started out once and
was obliged to go back but started again
Saturday morning and was soon overtaken
by a thick snow storm about half way home,
but came in all right The vessel will be
loaded at once at Temple Heights with wood
and proceed on her second trip to Rockport,

than the first one
The first of last week Mr. Otis Drinkwater
wellknown citizen of the town, was
stricken with paralysis. A doctor was has
tily summoned and it was found that one
leg and hand were entirely useless His
mind seemed to be as active as ever, but his
power of speech was gone. Of course it is
only matter of time whether he ever again
RECEIVERS the full use of his powers, and as
his age is somewhat against him it is feared
hat his case is hopeless one.
On Friday of last week Mr. and Mrs. A. F.
Elwell received IA most welcome despatch
from San Francisco from their son G. S. Ell
WELL first officer of the steel ship Dirigo, an
nouncing his safe arrival at that port. Mr..
Elwell left New York October 9 1895, and
arrived at his destination March 9th 1896,
rather long voyage of about 1913 days. Mr..
and Mrs. E. We're getting rather anxious
and it was, indeed, happy relief to them, as
we'll as to friends and neighbors, to learn of
the arrival of the ship.
1t was rather novel proceeding that hap
pened at the close of the business of our re-
cent town meeting. 1t appears as the last
article was voted upon the moderator an
nOunceu That as UnGfe was nothing further
to come before the meeting a motion could
be made to adjourn. A gentleman arose and
made motion to pass a vote of thanks to
the moderator for the fair and impartial
manner he had conducted the meeting, but
the crowd was too anxious to get to their
dinners, we suppose, and not even stopped to
consider that motion, and as the moderator
and clerk surprisingly observed that the hall
was nearly empty they gathered up their
papers and books and went out with the rest,
entirely unmindful of the fact that the meet
ing had never adjourned, and of course is
still open for business, and will probably re-
main open until next spring unless it is
closed But how is it to be closed, and who
is to do it, seems to be the question upper
most in the minds of the curious; and if it is
still open, can the owner of the hall who let
it to the town claim his pay for it until the
meeting does adjourn? That's what the
matter with Hannah!

Deputy Supreme Chief Ranger and Frank
Flagg of Dexter, District Deputy, of the Or
der of Foresters, We're in town a few DAYS
the past week for the purpose of instituting
local court of Foresters. The order of
Foresttrs is, with the exception of Free
masonry, the Oldest fraternal order in exist
tence. 1t WAS organized III London in 1745.
The American Order and the Catholic Or
der of Foresters are separate and nGepend-
ent, though both sprang from the same
parent organization. The Foresters have
several features different from other frater-
nal organizations. The yearly dues are
graded according to age, and are paid to the
Supreme Court of the Order, while the sick
and funeral benefits are paid out from the
same source; hence they are not dependent
on the condition of the local treasury. There
is a life insurance department connected
with the order, with a minimum of $500
The three features are optional with the
members to take any or all as they see fit.
A meeting was held a Memorial Hall Mon
dag evening at which preliminary steps
were taken for organizing a Court. The
name Court Waldo was adopted, and the
meeting adjourned to Friday evening. The
place OF meeting was left with a committee
who will give due notice.

Total number of swarms ......... 49l
Next came discussion as to whether a
seven-frame hive or larger one is preferred.
E. Cornforth thought the seven-frame hive
large enough for good results and liked them
for several reasons: i. The bees entered the
sections much quicker than on more frames.
3 He thought them better to handle. ). He
thought queen would just about ill seven
frames with brood. Mr.. Rand thought seven
frames enough. Mr.. Poland preferred a
larger hive, for the reasons that the bees
swarm too much in the smaller hive; be-
cause the queen will fill more frames with
brood and in a larger hive you can use two
crates, which is his practice in a good season.
The next question was: Which is prefer
able, wide frames at the sides or top storing ?
All agreed that top storing gave the most
satisfactory results
The third question was: Which do you
prefer to raise, extracted honey at Is cents
or comb at 20 ce is. Mr.. Poland said he
thought it was more profitable to raise eX-
tracted honey at 10 cents, and to use half
w NioN
supers than one if needed. Mr.. Cornforth
said ba na,- ,,sa h,lf 1an+l fr,,,,as IIo
always had some old combs and only gave
three or four at first.

We have received from an esteemed
cores pondent Il letter in favor of new
PARTIES. He shares belief, which finds
frequent expression in certain quarters,
that the two old parties are to 90 out of
existence, and a new party on Populist
lines come into power. Political history
shows, however, that new parties as a
Iulc are short-lived In recent years the
C,reeubaek party has cut the biggest
swath, but was finally absorbed in large
pant by the Democratic party. Should a
crisis in affairs arise sucn as brought the
Republican party into existence and pow
e., and that party fail to GRASP the situa-
ton, a new party might succeed; but the
Republican party to-day contains too
many earnest and honest men, too much
pure patriotism, and has too brilliant a
record to render such a contingency prob
able. The Democratic party is too wick
ed to die, and will continue to exist to
serve as a bad example.
