The Belfast Schools.

The Belfast teachers are making arrange.
ments to attend the meeting of the Waldo
County Teachers Association, to be held in
Freedom Friday and Saturday The schools
in this city will close for the week this,
Thursday, afternoon. The program of the
meeting was published in The Journal last
week. We have since received notice that
the subject of Prof. Richardson's address
will be "School Discipline" and Of Miss
Williams paper, Reading"
Superintendent Brick reports that there
are six cases of scarlet fever among the
school children of the city, and several cases
are reported of persons beyond the school
age Mr. Brick states that the contagion in
each case can be traced to sources outside
the schools. The report that the Lear boy
had died of fever, making four dea this in the
family, was incorrect. The attending ply
sician reports that his fever is not critical,
but that he has a brain trouble which will
doubtless prove fatal.
By invitation of Superintendent Brick and
the North Primary teachers, representatives
of the local papers visited that school last
Friday afternoon and witnessed the work in
the different grades During the summer
vacation an addition was made to the school
building and one grade was added to the
school. Miss Grace E. Walton is principal
and teaches the third grade; Miss Lulie
Putnam teaches the second grade and Miss
Ida F Roberts the first. The new addition
is wing. 30x30 feet, on the westerly side of
the building. 1t is lighted by windows on
the west and on the north side, thus
bringing the light behind and at the right of
the pupils. There are seats for AZ scholars
and wide aisles. The room is heated by a
separate hot air furnace and the ventilation
is the same as in the rest of the building,
which has proved highly satisfactory in the
past. The walls are wainscotted up to the
window sills and there are shelves for plants
in the windows. The writing of the scholars,
all on the vertical system, shows that al
most every child writes neat, plain hand.
Recitatlons in geography and physiology
showed good understanding of the sub
jects-not mere memorizng of words, but a
grasping of ideas. In the other rooms the
sedtS nave oeeH CuduReu 10 DrlnR the HRnG
behind and over the shoulder-no windows
in front The scholars are taught reading
by the word method and their answers to
questions about the stories showed that even
the youngest understood what they were
reading about. They read from print or
writing equally well. Everything is made
as plain and practical as possible. Real
plants are used for nature studies; the meas
ures of quarts. gallons, pecks, etc, are used
i'll arithmetic; drawing is from objects and
lessons in color, form, size, etc, are carried
along in connection with all the branches.

An Electric Road to Northport.

About one month ago A. A. Howes of this
railroad contractor, and in the course of
conversation asked why he did not come to
Belfast and build us an electric railroad to
Northport. Mr.. Mitchell said perhaps he
might and that when opportunity offered he
would come here and look over the ground
He arrived Wednesday evening, Nov ID,
and called upon Mr.. Howes, stating that he
wanted to leave on the train next morning.
Mr.. Howes prevailed upon him to remain
until the l p. m. train, and next morning
drove to Northport with Mr.. Mitchell, who
looked over the route and thought well of
1t. There is charter for an electric rail-
way from Stockton Springs to Camden, six
OF the corporators residing in Belfast, two in
Rockport and one in Thomaston. Five of
the six Belfast corporators met Mr.. Mitchell
and are disposed to aid the project in every
way. Mr.. Mitchell said he would come here
and build the road and have it IN operation
by the first of next July. If parties here
chose to go in with him they could do
50. If not, he and his friends would
build the road from the upper bridge,
Belfast, to the So nth Shore, Northport
The Northport Camp Ground Association
will welcome the road, and the Knox county
corporators will no doubt join with the Bel
fast corporators in aiding the undertaking
Mr.. Mitchell is to go to Michigan on bust
ness and on his return will come here. A
meeting of the corporators will then be held
and the matter decided
1t is only question of time when there
will be an electric road from Bangor to
Rockland and this proposed road will be an
important link.
In the report of the eeting of the North
port Camp Ground Association, republshed
from the Bangor Daily News, trustee M. c.
Hill is said to have reported to the meeting
that on Thursday he met party of New
York capitalists and took them over the
ground at Northport with view to their
building an electric line from Belfast" etc.
Mt. Hill made no such report, and the story
in the News has no other foundation than
the visit of Mr.. Mitchell as stated above.

pleasant day,
Comrades your locks are thin and gray.
You who left your homes when but boys are
now fast nearing the shore from which no
comrade has yet returned. We are glad to
have you with US to-day. Little do we who
have grown up since the close of the Rebel
ion realize the suffering and dangers those
who have now gathered with us went
through in the days of 81 to IS to make our
country what it is to-day-the grandest ma
tion the sun shines upon. You who went
forth to battle and blot out the greatest
curse that ever befell a nation-Slavery.
Yes, Comrades, to you and Our fallen heroes
who sleep on every southern battlefield, and
on nearly every hillside throughout our
northern land, do we owe everything.
Comrades, we shall look forward to your
meeting with us again as the years pass by
with pleasure. Some of those who met in
this hall at your last meeting have answered
the last roll-cal, and we trust are tentlng on
the eternal camping ground. One good SIS
ter whose kind words and smiling face we
miss to-day will meet with you no more.
Comrades, live so that when the final roll
call is answered you may be prepared to
answer present on the eternal camping
ground.
Again l give you hearty welcome. May
this meeting prove pleasant day to you all,
and when you go to your homes, may you
carry that feeling of friendship and love. and
may the day be one you will long remem-

TO IMPROVE THE GROUNDS.

One of the first things decided upon was
to make extensive repairs and lmpro t.
ments upon the grounds during the coming
season. Considerable grading will be done.
sewers will be laid from the low water mark
to the hotel and connected with those cot
tages whose owners are willing to pay the
cost. The general sanitary arrangements
are to be improved and competent plumbers
will be given charge of the work.
The trustees voted to collect wharfage on
all freight and baggage landed at the North
port wharf which is taken off the grounds
also to furnish deeds to cottagers who now
have perpetual lease of the lots.
SUNDAY EXCURsIoNsl
While no formal action was taken by the
trustees regarding Sunday excursions, it APP
pears that the board will not countenance
any advertised Sunday excursions. Of
course, on Sundays during the camp meet
ing season there will come great crowds to
attend the meetings, but by refusing to
countenance excursions which are advertis-
ed it is hoped that objectionable element
those who come for mere pleasure, will be
prevented from swarming to the grounds.
The committee appointed at previous ses-
sion to report on Sunday campmeetingS were
not ready to report at this meeting.
One thing was announced to the trustees
that was very pleasant news. That was that
$500 will be paid upon the debt of the asso-
citation.
NEXT YEAR CAMPMEETING.
In regard to next years camp meeting,
the dates We're decided upon and are Aug.
20 to 20, inclusive, giving two Sundays dur
ing the ten days session. Rev. j NJ. Frost
will again have charge and Hubert Gale,
the evangelist will conduct the meetings.
Mr.. Gales minlstrations W ere productive of
many conversions during the last camp
meeting, and he was so well liked that he
has been engaged for next year.
ELECTRICS TO BELFAST
Trustee Hill reDorted to the meeting that
on Thursday he met party of New York
capitalists and took them over the grounds
at Northport with a view to their building
an electric line from Belfast to the camp
ground. While nothing definite was decd-
ed upon, it was the sentiment of the board
that such road will soon be built and that
eventually there will be an electric road
through to both Rockland and Bangor.

The election news may be told in nut

and no clouds confronted the Republicans,
They made practically clean sweep.
In New Y ork Roosevelt downed the Tam

by plurality of about 10000 over Van
Wyck. Gov. Walcott was reelected
Governor of Massachusetts by plurality
of about so, 900 over the Democratic can
didate. W. A. Stone, Republican, was
elected Governor of Pennsylvania by a
large majority. The Republican ticket
was victorious in Connecticut West Vir-
ginia elected the entire Republican ticket
by from |, 900 to POO majority. Ohio is
Republican, of course. New Jersey has
elected a Republican governor and as
sembly, and will elect Republican
U. S. Senator Illinois is reported
to have elected the entire Republican
ticket. California is Republican by 80 =
600, Nebraska returns indicate the cleo
tion of Hayward (Rep.) for governor

Delaware the indications are that the
Republicans have elected their State,

estimate if verified by the full returns in
dicates the election of Republican sue
cessor to United States Senator Gray and
gain of one Republican Congressman.
New Hampshire is Republican as usual.
Michigan has re elected Pingree by 49,

4 WOOD.CUTTER
Wanted a Christmas Fur koy-ande
 He Got It. 0

A negro wood cutter was em- ployed by Mrs. AdoIph Bluthenthal Wednesday to cut some wood,
 While at work in the rear yard Of her residence later in the day he in- o uired of the cook if the chicken coop wasn't kept locked during the night. The cook suspected nothing and answered in the negative. Upon going to the coop this morning the cook missed fine turk ey. The negro came to hls duties later in the day and the cook in formed him that he had stolen the turkey. As is natural, he denied 1t. A policeman was the next thought and he was suggested to the thief. The latter left the yard and returned in few minutes with the stolen turkey, and said in order to avoid any trouble he had bought another one to take the place of the absent fowl. He was ordered off the premises.
