ALL A MISTAKE.
Unfortunate Affair Over Bath Catholic School
Boys and Their Bibles.

Bath, Jan. 15.-The local council of
the A. P. A, held public meeting at
it's hall last night, to take action on the
alleged burning of Bibles in the public
schools by pupils under the instructions
of priests. About 100 We're present.
mostly members. The meeting was ad-
dressed by President Taylor. These
resolutions were passed:
Resolved, that while tolerant to all
creeds we consider the free public
school the bulwark of American insti-
tutions, the best place for the educa-
ton of American children, and to keep
them such We protest against the in
reference by the priesthood with the
reading of the Scriptures in our public
school.
Resolved, that we protest against any
laxity of our school board and demand
that all laws in their code be strictly
enforced.
From investigation however it ap-
pears that the boys misunderstood the
priests, and the action of the A. P. A,
is unwarranted.

MILLS MUST cuRrML.
Cotton Mills Have Dull Business and Will Re.
dues Their Output.

Boston, Jan. 15.-There is every pros
pect that New England is on the verge
of another mill curtailment, although
not to as large an extent probably, as
occurred, last summer. Hon. T. JEFF
ferson Coolidge, treasurer Of the Amos
keag mills, says:
Business has been so bad for the last
few weeks, that a curtailment of pro-
duction seems almost necessary. The
Fall River mills appear to be the great
est sufferers, but all lines are suffering
from overproduction. 1 am in hopes
of some improvement in the spring, but
as yet there are no signs Of any and it
certainly should be apparent by. this
time. The great demand for our wheat
is very favorable sign and should
help the situation. The impoverishment
of the country prevents people using
goods of which they were formerly
large consumers, and in consequence
we have an over-production in all
commodities. The only remedy appar-
ent is a curtailment in production

President Keith has had an offer from

back letter extending the compliments
of the season and the frozen hand. This
is no cut-rate ball team.-Brockton En-
terprise.
Portland Argus: So the directors of the
Portland Base Ball Association concluded
to eat humble pie and place themselves
in. the, way. TO be turned down by r;lrtes
who were just aching for an Opportunity
to perform the act 1t was a display Of
there was sufficient evidence that they
would meet with just the treatment dealt
out to them Maybe they were deceived
into believing the result would be other
wise by the unwarranted hope held out
to them from an irresponsible quarter
from which they should have known tina
nothing worthy Of being taken seriously
plainly intimated it would be useless t.
attempt to secure a franchise, with the
hope that the gentlemen behind the game
in Portland would not st0op to appeal fOl
such a questionable privilege only to have
1t denied them. But it was seen fit tc
invite hesdiscomfiture in place of assum
ing. the attitude of dignified indifference
However, now that 1t has been ascer.
tanned for a certainty that mess of New
England League pottage is not 10 be hat
1t is TO be hoped the gentlemen 20 whom
our citizens are so much indebted fol
first-class base ball will enter heartily
into the more promising field of actor
round about them. A Maine State
League would enjoy a degree of pros
perity never attained by the New Eng
land. which is now in a more decre2i
condition than ever before.
