Portland Manufacturers and Wholesalers Report
an Advance In Business.

PORTLAND, Me, Nov II, 1896. Manu-
facturers and prominent merchants of
Portland are almost unanimous in the
statement that there has been an encotIr-
aging advance in business since the cleo
ton of Mckinley.
Manager Chenery OF the Chenery Manu-
featuring Company says that Immediately
after election day the firm S travelling
statesmen began to pour in their orders for
goods. Some of these orders were the
largest the company ever received.
At Jones, Garland & Co S shoe factory
full crew is now employed. One order
for 100 cases of goods which the firm held
On condition of Republican victory was
increased to 800 cases.
Treasurer Cole of the f. I. Bulrowes
Company, manufacturers Of wire screens,
say the increase of orders within the last
week has greatly exceeded the firms ex-
pectatlons.
The Hon. Edward b. Winslow, recent
Democratic candidate for Governor. and
principal owner of the extensive pottery
works at Deering, says that reports from
the company's Boston Office indicate a
general and immediate improvement in
business conditions.
Treasurer c. +. TObie of the CaScO
Tanning Company says the election has
been productive of good results in that
line OF business, though the rise in the
price of raw hide has exceeded the rise in
the manufactured product.
The officials of the Maine Central rail
road all agree that the freight business
has begun to pick up.
Mr.. Carney, of the firm of Shaw, Ham
monds d Co., wholesale grocers, to-day
said: every Indication points to a grand
revival of business. The prices of all
kinds of commodities are advancing, and
the retail dealers are ordering goods in
large quantities. Everybody we hear
from is feeling confident and hopeful, and
the whole business world rejoices over
Mckinley election. -
A member of the firm of Milliken, Tom
linson & Co., wholesale grocers, said:
Our travelling men report increased
confidence all along the line
'sThe tone of business has been mate
rally improved since Mckinley's cleo
tion,' said Simonton & Randall, whole
sale grocers.
Brown & Josselyn, flour dealers, said
that retailers who had evinced timidity in
buying before election are now stocking
their stores in anticipation of an advance
in prices.
A representative of the wholesale pro-
vision firm of Twitchell, Champlin 4 Co.,
said: s'The letters we are daily receiving
from our customers show a more hopeful
feeling We are expecting to do larger
business than ever before"
The wholesale lumber firms, of whom
there are many in this city, tell practi
cally the same story of a brighter out
look for the men engaged in the various
lumber interests throughout the State.
Everything indicates big increase in OPP
erations. One prominent wholesaler gives
it as his opinion that more lumber will be
cut in the Maine woods this season than in
any year since the close of the last Re-
publican administration.

So Year for The journal and Tribune

The Recorder of New York has discon-
tinued publication and turned over its entire
mail lists to the New York Tribune. The
Weekly Recorder was very popular paper
and many of its attractive features are now
found in the Weekly Tribune, which is furn-
shed free to all who pay their subscriptions
to The Journal one year in advance. With
The journal furnishing all the local news,
and much other matter of local interest, and
the Tribune to supply the news of the world
political and general. with fashions house
hold science and mechanics, literary and
other departments, stories and miscellany
20 pages in all, it is very taking combina-
ton at 50 year. Subscriptions may begin
at any time, and if desired the two papers
will be sent to different addresses.

Harbor full Of Herring.
PrOvlncetOwn Fishermen Never Had Such Luck
In Their History,


PRovINcETowN, Nov. II. For more
that month this harbor has been packed
full of herring, something that has never
been known before in the annals of the
town. A conservative estimate places the
catch at more than 1000 barrels daily,
taken by traps, seines and nets, and still
the supply does not seem to diminish.
To-day what would fill between l POO
and l, 500 barrels are lying in seine peck
cts between railroad and steamboat
Wharves, waiting for customers from the
fresh fishing feet. Two schooners have
been loaded and sent away with the fish,
sailed, and vessel load after vessel load
has been sent to Boston, fresh. The cold
storage plants here and in Truro, of
about 1000 barrels capacity each, are
about full.
The two canning factories here and the
one in Truro have used to can and salt
nearly 5000 barrels each. The hulk of
bark Gilliad and schooner j. X. Manning
OF Gloucester, with freezing plants on
board, when they came here at the begin
ming of the catch were light.
To-day they are like plank on the
water, and few more barrels will COM
plete their ladng. Not only this, but
barrels upon barrels have been seined and
left upon the flats, to be carted to the
rear of the town and used as fertilizer
on the gardens and hay lands. For a
continuous catch of such magnitude and
for such a length Of time, the like has
never been known in this or any other
country.

"rlustards" and golfers"

Mr.. William l. Mayo, of Cranberry
Isles, who has been in the fish weir bust
ness some fifteen years, says that the
present year has been the best in three
years and that the talk about this part of
the Maine coast being played out for fish
ing is false. He is making great catches
of 'smustards' and Golfers" The for
mer are small herring which are packed
in mustard and frequently appear on the
market surrounded with lot of French
goods which gives one the impression that
they come from la belle France. The
''oilers" are the market sardines which
are packed in many places along Maine S
coast.

Preachers Fought II out.

The good people of the town of Buzz
yards Bay. which has become somewhat
famous because of the location of Gray
Gables, the summer home of the Presi-
dent, within its borders, were treated TO
most unusual sight last Sunday, when
rival ministers fought out the question
of who should address a congregation in
front of the church pulpit, says the Spring
neld Union. There is no church building
in the village, but early last fall il was
announced that religious services would
be held every Sunday afternoon In Frank
lin hail, and a minister would come up
from the village of Bourne to oficiate.
There mad been REVEALS in the Bourne
village and quite a large number of con-
versions had been made, when suddenly
the minister failed to appear for seVeraf
Sundays, owing, 1T is said, to the inclem-
ent weather. The villagers then sent down
ana got minister from POcaSSet. The
Bourne minister was a Methodist ana
the POcaSset minister was a Baptist bus
the services went on smoothly until last
Sunday, when, to the surprise of the con-
gregatiOn, both ministers appeared in
church at about the same time.
Meeting in front of the pulpit, they be-
gan discussion which grew hotter until
the minister from Pocasset was heard to
say:
You have no business here at ALI You
are not a minister, and you know il,
and this is no place for you to beP'
The ministers struck at each other with
clinched fists. Some of the workmeh
rushed for the doors, while the others
looked on in astOnishment Then the
parsons clinched and it looked as if they
would fall in heap on the floor, buc
they broke away" just in time. The
minister from Bourne walked down to the
end of the hall and stood beside the
service was over, but hostiliues were NOT
resumed.

On April l it is to be expected that a
large proportion of the population Will
lay aside common sense for the time be-
ing and do some extremely foolish things.
April fools have been notorious from time
immemorial. and will probably continue
to be until our present calendar is traded
off for some other. All FOOLS day, how
ever, is not responsible for three exam
pies of monumental and criminal foolish
ness that occurred in the states Of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts
during last week. In the first case
the practical jokers found a companion
asleep. They bound his hands and feet,
and hung him by the heels to a beam, SO
that his shoulders barely touched the
floor. Leaving him in this position, the
funny fellows went two miles away to a
store, where they related as the best joke
of the season what they had done. Per
sons at the store went to the relief or
the victim, and found him-dead.
In the New Jersey instance some ne
groes were having a ball on the second
floor of a building. The jokers, with the
view of giving the dancers a great sur
prise and furnishing for themselves a
ludicrous spectacle, saturated the STAIR
way leading to the dance hall with kero-
sene and set it on fire. There was no
avenue of escape, save the windows,
twenty feet or so above the ground. Sew
eral persons jumped out, in the funniest
manner in the world, and the others were
rescued by means of ladders, to the in
tense and hilarious delight of the jokers.
Those who jumped sustained some severe
bruises, and probably a broken limb or
two. But they surely ought not to OBJ
jeot to a little thing like that seeing
that the conhagration was all in fun.
In the Massachusetts case youth point
ed an "unloaded" gun at his little Sis
ter, just for the purpose of giving her a
little fright. He thought it would be ever
so funny to see her throw up her hands
and scream and run. But she didn't do
anything Of the kind. The bullets that
were in the gun pierced her heart, and
she fell dead at the joker's feet. The
youth didn't mean it," of course; it
was an accident" and he will not be
punished by the law. 1t would seem that
the sight of his little sister as she lay
bleeding and dead from his foolishness
would burn itself into his brain and be {
perpetual punishment to him. But one
cannot tell much about the practical joker
of his class
A distressing consideration in connec-
ton with these cases, and others like
them. is that the lessons they teach do
not have any appreciable effect in lessen
ing the number of similar occurrences.
