OLD HOME WEEK.
Last week Mayor Poor received the fol

Last week Mayor Poor received the fol
lowing letter from Congressman Burleigh:
Augusta, Me-, July II, 1900.
Hon. Clarence 0. Poor, Belfast, Maine.
DEAR SIR: Yours of the 18th inst. is at
hand. 1t will be a pleasure to me to do
anything in my power to secure visit from
one Of the United States war ships to your
soon as | get anything definite about the
matter will communicate with you further
Yours very sincerely,
E. c. BURLEIGH.
At meeting of the Belfast Old Home
Week Association Monday evening the
finance committee reported good progress in
securing subscriptions, and there is assur-
ance that there will be ample financial sup
port The official invitations were received
from Augusta that evening, and will be sent
out this week. Hon. Joseph Williamson,
chairman of the committee on invitations,
reported that he had list of about five
hundred names of natives and former resi-
dents, to whom invitations will be sent. The
invitations will bear the Pine Tree stamp,
specially designed for this purpose.
The program will include two ball games
instead of one, as first announced. Manager
Spinney will arrange a game with the Rock
lands in Belfast, and have a return game in
Rockland during the week. Arrangements
will also be made with some other nine for
a game here. 1t is expected to give Pima
fore here Wednesday evening and in Bucks
port Friday evening; and the Band may be
engaged Thursday for parade. A floral
bicycle parade has been suggested.
Some say, "why have an elaborate pro-
gram? Many who come will care only to
meet their friends and have quiet time"
That is all right. There is nothing COM
pulsOry about anything in the proposed
line of entertainment. Our citizens will
entertain their guests in any way they may
desire. There will of course be little social
gatherings apart from the general festivi-
ties. We only want our visitors to feel at
home and to enjoy themselves.
A meeting of the executive board Of the
Old Home Week Association was held last
evening to arrange the program. Up to
yesterday noon the subscription had amount
ed to nearly 500.

BASE BALL.

The second game between the Belfasts
and Boston Journals last Friday resulted
like the first on the Saturday previous. in a
victory for the visitors, and by the same
score, to 3. There was large attendance
when the game was called. When the play
was fairly under way it looked like a big
score on both sides. The Bostons got in 6
scores, a home run and three-bagger in the
first inning, and the Belfasts followed with
4 runs and single hits. In the second Bos-
ton scored 3, with singles, 1two-bagger and
three-bagger. Belfast got bases on balls,
scores and base hit, when a heavy show
er struck and everybody started for shelter.
The game was declared off. At 4.3O new
game was called, and the players were them
selves again. Belfast got scores in the
first inning, but shut out the Bostons until
the Sd. Belfast did not score again until
the 18th. Boston made 2 in the 9th, when,
with men on bases, Darlington knocked
fly to right field, which was dropped. Crock
EFT and Johnson made their usual good record
as battery. Each pitcher struck out men.
Crockett let but one man down on balls, his
second man this season, which is record of
which any pitcher may well feel proud
Patterson did not get any heavy hits on the
ball, and sent into the hands of the" second
baseman, but he evened it up handsomely
taking long flies that were sent into his
field. George Darby got the only two-bagger
made by the Belfasts. The score:

When the Bostons finished their tour it
was found that they were short of money.
They had good patronage in Belfast, and re-
ceived all that was due them here and else
Where. but spent their money too freely:
not in dissipation, as they conducted them
selves IN very gentlemanly manner wher~
ever they went. The players called on for
money and the manager advanced it, until
they were surprised by finding themselves
short AS the regular Belfast team was
engaged to go to Old Town benefit game

game was played Saturday afternoon The
Belfast team had never played together.

made elsewhere.

was anything he wished to say. He
smiled and said:
Yes; there are three things to say
three things about which / mean to talk
wherever | go and whenever | speak.
They are silver, trusts and Imperialism.

them. Imperialism. trusts and silver, or

DISCUSSING ROBERTS
Great Flow of Oratory In
the House.
ACCUSED PLEADS HIS OWN CAUSE.
Women In the Galleries Gave the
Only AppIausc-Othcrs Hiss the
MOrmon-scuate stiSI on the
Philippine Question.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Yesterday
was an oratorical field day over the case
of Brigham II. Roberts, the Mormon
representative from Utah. The galleries
were packed to suffocation, chiefly with
women, and the spectators after listening
attentively to the arguments of Mr.. Tay-
Ter of Ohio and Mr.. Littlciield of Maine
for the adoption of the majority and mi
nority reports respectively of the special
committee that investigated the case, re-
mained long after nghtfall to hear the
impassioncd words N the accused as he
faced the house like an animal at bay
knowing that every hand was raised
against him.
Mr.. Roberts was very adroit in the han
ding of his case and at times exceedingly
dramatic. Taking advantage of the issue
raised by the division in the committee as
to the method of ousting him, he appro-
priated to himself the argument of the
minority that he was constitutionally en-
titled to be sworn in and the arguments
u the majority that, once sworn in, he
could not be expelled. He defended the
action of the Mormons in fighting the au
thority Of the United States for years,
because, he said. they believed that SEN
timent would change and dramatically

have his flesh hewn from his bones than
to have renounced his religious tenets
He concluded with an eloquent perora-
ton in which he said he had never been
conscious of a shameful act and if he was
sent forth he would go with head erect
and undaunted brow
Strange to say, most of the applause he
won was from women. But while they
appeared to be his only partisans, other
women manifested their bitter hostility
by kissing him at every opportunity.
Again the scnate's session was devoted
entirely to spccchmaking. Mr.. Turner
of Washington concluded his address up
on the Philippine question. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Ross of Vermont with Il
thoughtful and carefully prepared speech,
in which he also discussed the Philippine
question in connection with resolutions
which he had offered. His presentation
of the question was given thoughtful at
tention by his colleagues. Mr.. McEnery
of Louisiana delivered the concluding
speech of the session on the race ques-
ton in the south. He took strong ground
in support of the constitution of Louisi-
ana and of the proposed amendment to
the constitution of North Carolina which
it is alleged practically will disfranchise
large class of voters.
