Paul Carnes has closed his cigar business
at East Belfast to become manager of
factory in Maiden, Mass, for which a COM
pany is to be organized known as the Carnes-
Howard Cigar Co. They will manufacture,
among others, the well-known brands of the
late firm of Bradman & Carnes-Swan Lake,
Local News, Trade Queen and Carnes
Leader. Mr.. Carnes still holds the lease of
his former factory here and is using it as
storehouse.
Ice CUTTING. The Belfast Light & Pow
er Co. began filling their ice houses last
week from the lower pond at the mouth Of
Goose River. The ice was Is inches thick
clear and blue, when they began, and in
creased slightly as the work progressed. A
crew of from 80 to 80 men and teams are
employed. The lower pond has capacity
of about 5000 tons of 15-ineh ice and the
upper pond, or the portion above the bridge,
OF 10000 tons or more. AS the ice made
we'll early in the season it may be possible
to cut the lower pond second time The
buildings have capacity of IA 900 tons, and
When they are filed the ompany expect to
continue cutting, and ship "water ice," or
ice taken directly from the pond to the YES
sells. The ice houses and all the apparatus
have been thoroughly overhauled and every
thing works perfectly H. S. Morey, the
foreman, has thoroughly renovated the ele-
vators and slides, built new lowering ma
chine for sending ice into the vessels, and
otherwise put the entire plant in first class
condition. The lowering machine works
entirely independent of the vessel and the
loading can be kept up at any time of tide.
The latest methods of cutting, handling and
storing have been adopted, and the business
is thoroughly up-to-date. The matter of
giving employment during the winter to 80
men is no small item in the business, and is
highly appreciated by the workmen and
their families

But was going to tell you about the re-

Sweet strains of music foated through the
house from an orchestra which I think be-
longed to the doctor; at any rate, it was in a
room the doorway of which had grown up
with palms and other foreigners. which
must have been several years old and have
grown there since the orchestra entered the
room. Anyhow, the beautiful music came
out OF that door and went down stairs and
wandered about the house as if it owned it.
never met any music that seemed more at
home than that did The refreshment room
can find no fault that it did not receive any
attention; no one sighted it. If the table
did not have a lame back the next morning,
carrying the load it did, it never will. The
reception lasted till about ten O'Clock, when
the guests took their leave, and l think took
nothing else, and thus ended the Seth annual
meeting of the Maine Press ASSOCIATE on
and one OF the most enjoyable of its histo y.

At one of the meetings Bro Robbins pre-
dicted that the time was near at hand when
there would be a decided change in the
makeup of the country newspapers. The
pages would be smaller and more of them
Charles Dudley Warner, in an essay on ''The
American Newspaper, published in 1881,
noted that the makeup in small pages had
then "been adopted by many of our religious,
literary and special weekles, to the great
convenience of the reader, and [ doubt not
of the publishers ALSO Then, speaking of
the "unwieldly and inconvenient blanket
sheets,'' he said: SIT seems to me that the
inevitable remedy is newspaper of small
pages or forms, indefinite in number, that
can at any hour be increased or diminished
according to necessity, to be folded, stitched,
and cut by machinery" That is beautiful
in theory, but how many country newspa-
pers can discard their present presses and
folders and put IN the expensive equipment
such a change would call for? Religious
weeklies, like The Congregationalist and
lions Herald, long since adopted this plan
but their subscription price is double that OF
the average country weekly, and they nave
less competition to contend with. The In
dependent and the The Outlook have gone a
step farther and adopted the magazine form.
The country weeklies have also progressed in
this direction. Few 9-column folios are now
issued. The majority are six and seven col
umn quartos, and that is likely to remain
the standard for many years to come. With
the increasing use of plate matter the six
column page of the American Press Assocla-
ton has much in its favor, and should occa-
sion require, it is easy to insert two or four
pages.
