STATE LIQUOR BUSINESS.
Hon. James W. Wakefield Says 1t Is
Falling Off.

Hon. James W. Wakefield of Bath, was
at the Falmouth hotel on Monday. Mr..
Wakefield is state liquor agent, and as
such has charge of the sale of pure liquors
to the local agencies in the various cities
and towns of the state. Mr.. Wakefield re-
ports that the business of the state agency
has fallen off greatly. Three or four years
ago the business Of the state agency
amounted to about a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars year. Now the state
agency sells only about sixty thousand
dollars worth. The reason of this, in his
opinion, is that throughout the state the
prohibitory law is more laxly enforced,
and those who drink liquor are procuring
it at saloons rather than at the agency.
During Sheriff Cram administration the
Portland agency took in one year about
sixty thousand dollars worth of liquor.
This is as much as all the agencies in the
state will take this year.

REV DWIGHT M. PRATT.
His Resignation as Pastor of Wiliston IL
the Hands of the Church.

| At Williston church on Sunday letter
was read from the pastor, Rev. Dwight
NJ. Pratt, rendering his resignation as
pastor. the resignation to take effect on
the first of next November. This letter,
which was of considerable length, was
excellent in tone, and expressive of the
writer's appreciation of the cordial and
tween himself and his congregation.
Last March Mr.. Pratt rendered his res
ignation, to take effect ON the next May.
But the church, by practically unani
nous voice, requested him to remain,
and he did SO for time. But in his let
ter of Sunday Nj. Pratt makes manifest
that he considers this resignation final,
and his congregation seem to SO UNDER
stand it. esre gu
The letter was written from Mr.. Pratt's
old home, at West Cornwall, Conn.,
where he has been on vacation for
several weeks.
Mr.. Pratt has been pastor of Williston
church for seven years. He came here
from Pueblo, Colorado.
Williston church, as the cradle of the
Christian Endeavor, has an enviable
prominence among the churches of Port
land, and Mr.. Pratt's long passionate
there testif1es to his earnestness and de-
votion to his church.
1t is not known that Mr.. Pratt at
present has any other church in view.

Excursion to Quebec.

AS there are still with us great many
people from the South and West who
have no yet visited the White Mountains
and the quaint and historic city of Que
bee, the Maine Central railroad is Offering
an excursion on Monday, September 9th
to Montreal and Quebec, the rate for the
round trip to either place being $3.50,
and ticket will also be sold taking in
both places at 5000 the round trip. Tick
cts good for return until October 9th.
This is an exceptional opportunity fol-
visiting these cities at low rates, and the
traveller via the Maine Central railroad
has the advantage of the grand scenery
of the famous Crawford Notch of the
White Mountains, as this line is the only
famous mountain region.
The road winds along the shoulders OF
Willard and Wiley Mountains, apparen t.
ly clinging with the tenacity of something
alive to the rocky walls. Below, soc
feet or more is the bottom of the Notch
and on the other side of the train the
granite walls rise almost straight uu
from the rails until their heights are
kissed by the blue of heaven Iron and
steel and the ingenuity of man have fore
stalled any accident, and on all sides are
tokens of watchfulness. Clinging to the
dizzy walls on one side it seems possible
to throw stone over the valley and
strike the apparently perpendicular cliff
opposite, which must be seen to be real.

A Beautiful Lily.

There is most glorious floral display
in the front yard of Mr.. J. J. Gerrish,
No. AZ Eastern Promenade. Mr.. Gerrish
has had for several years a gold band
lily; and this year it has outdone itself
in poisoning. Yesterday there were
on the lily 25 full bloom lilies, and there
is bud which will probably open today
and make the goth. The gold band lily
is more brilliant than the Easter lily,
although similar in appearance. Some
of the blossoms are seven inches across,
and last year the lily bore one flower
10 inches across.
The distinctive feature of this lily is a
bright yellow or golden band along the
middle of each petal. 1t is not a rare
flower, although there are not many in
this region.

John Driffin, a fisherman from Cliff
Island, who goes sword fishing on the
sloop Lottie, brought in very handsome
sword fish Saturday. 1t weighed 42s
pounds. While not especially heavy Mr..
Driffin considered it remarkable for its
finely proportioned and long sword. The
sword measured four feet, the entire
length of the fish being twelve feet and
four inches.
The fish was caught northwest OF
Aganlnticus 1t took three hours and
half to captur it after it had been har-
pooned. In its struggles the fish dove
towards the bottom eight times. The
fish is to be exhibited in the Congress
