meeting. All the school rooms were in
fine order, showing great amount of work
done during the vacation by the ianitor of

buildings have been cemented, and all the
desks, tables and chairs in these buildings
vanished or shellaced and the woodwork
painted. The school-rOOms ON the common
have been papered as well, and minor re-
pairs made wherever needed. All this has
been done at no cost to the city except for
the material used The High school is still
crowded, and as there are not seats enough
for all the pupils the Senior class must be
dismissed after recitation. Forty pupils are
to be crowded into one room that cannot
properly accommodate twenty, and twnety
in another room that is hardly sufficient for
ten. If the hall above could be utilized, as
it might at small expense, the conditions
would be greatly improved.
There are several changes in the corps of
teachers since last term. Following is the

strumentalities necessary to make it's
will felt either through pacific inter
course and negotiation, or through force.
Its diplomatic agencies must, therefore,
be greatly enlarged, strengthened and
improved, while a powerful navy, up to
date in all points of construction, arma-
ment, general efficiency and readiness
for instant service, becomes of equal
necessity
In letter published last week this
same Richard Olney denounced 'im-
perialism' and ''militarism" and finds
in them sufficient reason for advocating
the election of Bryan, and wonderment
is expressed at this startling change of
sentiment. The explanation seems to us
very simple. Mr.. Olney is lawyer. In the
Atlantic Monthly he no doubt express
ed his real views, which were those of a
patriotic American citizen. AS to his
later utterance he has no doubt accept
ed liberal retainer from the so-called
anti-imperialists the allies of Aguinaldo
and his guerilla followers, and thus
seeks to make the worse appear the
better part. Better things might be
expected, even of a lawyer.

Landlord Mitchelps Success.

A recent issue of the Ticonderoga, y. y,
Sentinel had paragraph about the Hotel
Burleigh of that city, kept by Charles II.
Mitchell, formerly of Belfast, from which
we take the following:
The Hotel Burleigh is an excellent hostel
~ and has always been conducted on excel
lent lines Mr.. c. ii. Mitchell assumed con
troll of this house in 1895. He has Il large
experience in the hotel business and it was
therefore a matter of Importance when he
assumed proprietorship of this house. The
Hotel Burleigh is a commodious structure
and has accommodations for 100 guests.
The house is furnished throughout in Il
tasteful manner large sample rooms are at
the disposal of commercial travellers; the
dining room is ample, light and conven-
ently arranged, while the cuisine and SER
vice are such as to insure return visit
from all who once partake of a meal at this
house. Mr.. Mitchell is a pains-taking land
lord, doing all in his power to make it
pleasant for his guests while staying there.
He is widely known to the travelling public
and maintains the high reputation the house
enjoys.

No longer ago than last March, in an
article in the Atlantic Monthly, Richard
Qlney rejoiced that events had put an
end to the long period of international
isolation and limitation of the political
activities of the United States to the
concerns of the American continents.
''The isolation policy and practice" Mr..
Olney said then, ''have tended to BELT
tie the national character, have led to
species of provincialism and to narrow
views of our duties and functions as a
nation" In the same article he argued
that il spite of the Teller resolution
Cuba should be iii point of law ''what
she already is in point of fact, namely
United States territory
Here is another passage from the same
article:

it's shell and ceased to be a hermit among
nations, naturally and properly. Itgoei

NORTHPORT NEWS.

Rev, Il, T. Capen Will preach at Saturday
Cove next Sunday at SO p. IN.
y. {. Currier of Morrill, is building new
cottage on the new Sea street on the Camp
| Ground.
| The Northport Hotel closed last week,
and the post office on the Camp Ground will
close this week. The last mail will be car
ried down from Belfast Friday.
Most of the North Shore cottagers re-
main and have been enjoying the fine Sep
TENDER days. Geo. W. Burkett and family
have been at their cottage,and Mr. and Mrs.
A. A. Ilowes have been entertaining COM
pany at Hazelbank
The intention is to have the power house
of the Belfast and Northport electric rail
way in Northport, and:that will no doubt
mean an electric light plant to supply light
| to the Camp Ground and the cottages OH the
North Shore and vicinity.
&. q. Rose, who recently sold his place at
Browns Corner, as reported in The Journal
last week, has lost no time in getting a new
location. He has bought of Chas f. Jen-
Y VI,
Cunningham farm on the west side of the
road, and begun work on a cellar for new
house Hon. S. S. Brown of Waterville,
who sold his cottage on the North Shore to
John Roberts of Reading, Mass, has bought
another lot of Oscar Hills above the c. +.
Perkins store and it is expected he will
build there. Thus two new buildings are
assured as a result of recent real estate
deals in Northport, and there will be others.
II. L. Kochersperger has begun on the
foundation of his cottage on the Wadlin
lot. John W. Nash is building the foun-
dation, and the carpenter work will be done
by \. }. Pottle. The location is on high
knoll at the foot Of the road leading from
the Penobscot House. The cottage is to
be AZ by 60 feet, with a 10 foot veranda
| ON all sides The cellar is 26 BY ~ feet
and y feet high. A wharf 500 feet long
will be built ON the pontoon plan, and an
ice house to hold about $50 tons will be
built near the school house. The lot bought
by Mr.. X. of Mrs. Mendall is small piece
adjoining his George NJ. Knowlton farm.
The buildings were burned some time ago.
and he bought the land to square his larger
lot. He expects to build five or six cottages
for rent along the shore front next season.
From time to time reports have been circu-
lated that the Northport Camp Ground had
been sold, or would be sold, to this or that
company or syndicate; but to date there
is no doubt the property remains in the pos
session of the Wesleyan Grove Association.
For years the Association has been in debt,
| with no apparent way of getting out of
| debt, and there is more or less friction re-
| sulting from attempting to combine gen
eral summer resort with place devoted to
| religious observances. This leads to the
prediction that at no distant day there may
| be division of the property. 1t is thought
that the Association might retain the audi.
forum and society cottages and sell the
remainder of the grounds to syndicate fol
a summer resort, while the Boston and Ban
gor Steamship Company might buy the
wharf. We are not advised that negotiations
to this effect are contemplated at present
but well wisher of the Camp Ground-as
we all are-thinks this is a probable out
