Unitarian Conference.

The Hancock county Unitarian confer
ence at Union church, West Gouldsboro,
last Thursday, was largely attended.
Ellsworth, Sullivan, Bar Hsrbor aud
other towns sent large delegations.
1t was a most interesting conference.
The hospitality of the church at West
Gouidsboro, always so large, seemed to be
taxed to its utmost on this day. Still
there was an abundance for all. The
ladies Of West Gouldsboro are to be con-
graduated for their excellent methods OF
feeding the multitude.
The church was beautifully decorated,
large cross OF water lilies at the altar
attracting much admiration from all
present, al. o cross OF scarlet blossoms
back OF the desk.
The speaking WIS OF the frsi order.
Rev. {. +. Dole, OF Jamaica Plain, Rev. C..
c. Everett, OF Harvard, Rev. Themes Van
Ness, of Boston, Rev. Samuel a. Eliot,
Rev. +. G. PEABODY, OF Cam bridge, and
Rev. 5. {. Beach, Of Bangor, were all at
their best, aud gave bright helpful
lessons.

Ellsworth VIII Have a Good Exhibi-
ton This Year.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
Oct. 2, 8, and 4, the Hancock county fair
association will hold It's exhibition at
Wyman park, Ellsworth.
Ellsworth will have good exhibition
this year. The change to . later date
than usual meets with approval, e.
pscially among the farmers. Then they
will have crops pretty we'll gathered, aad
be ready for a holiday. The association
will make special inducements to the
farmers this year to obtain large exhibits.
and will be out soon.
The delay in announcing the dates for
the fair has had one good effect. 1t has
started people talking about the fair, the
fear being expressed that Ellsworth was
to have none this year. II has opened
some eyes TO the fact that the annual fair
has become an important institution In
Ellsworth and in the county. 1t must
not be lost; everybody must take hold
and do his or her part to make 1t a
success.
1t is too early yet to announce the spec
ial attractions for the fair, but Secretary
Whitcomb IL already In correspondence

Whipping and the sweatBOx Allowed
in NfrgInin Institutions

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Dec. ct now
transpires that the revival Of corporal
punishment in the case of the prisoner
who refused to work in the changing
here last week was not without warrant
CT the law. While the Legislature Many
years ago passed a measure abolishing
the whipping post and corporal punish
ment in public institutions. It seems that
provision has been made for the treat
ment Of refractory prisoners
IN any event, Judge Barham, of the
Corporation Court issued an order fully
a month ago covering just such cases as
that which arose. and since he is an able
and careful iErist no one feels like ques-
ticning his authority in the matter. In
the order to the Street Superintendent,
who has charge of the prisoners who
work on the street. Judge Barham says
Any prisoner assigned TO public work
under ire charge of the superintendent
of the Changing. whether by virtue cf
the city ordinance CT by virtue of this
order VINO shall refuse to dc the work
assigned him or prove otherwise refrac-
tory. the said superintendent shall en-
ploy coercion by confinement in z sweat
box or otherwise and infiict such corporal
punishment, not to exceed twenty-five
lashes on tie bare back il any one day,
or such other means Of correction as the
nature Of the case may require, so that
in no case shall the mode CT manner Ct
punishment be cruel or unusual
The matter has been very thoroughly
discussed. aid while il is generally ad-
mitted th;.t he officers did not act With
out authority there is a distinct ineli-
nation on the part Of the people here TO
refrain from endorsing the whipping

Boston w e. T. u Delegates Gafn
Victory Over a Local Landlord.
Several delegates and visitors tc the
W c. T. L, Convention, from Boston,
who were stopping at the St Louis Ho-
tel. corner of Fourteenth and H Streets
northwest, decided TO leave the hosiery
Tuesday evening and gave notice to the
management that they intended TO seek
quarters elsewhere. When they started
TO leave they rendered payment for their
accommodation during the three DAYS hey
had remained and q disagreement arose.
and the result was that the sextstte from
the Hub left the St Louis with only
portion of their luggage. For a time
1t looked as though further trouble might
result for the management held the trunk
OF one party and refused 10 pars with it
Until satisfactory payment was made.
The party consisted of Mesdames NJ
3. Shepard B. StaTkey. Mary Hosea NJ
E. a. Bolton, E ". Allen and l. c.
Loomis. When they arrived in the city
they were referred by the reception com
mittee Of the local unions OF the W. c. T.
L. TO the St. Louis. There they went,
and it seems made arrangements TO be
provided with the usual acccmc dation at
the rate of SO per week. On Tue sday
they decided that they no longer cared
10 remain at the ST. Louis, and rendered
payment for the time they had bezn
there at the rate of $3.50 per day. The
management objected to this. on the
grounds that the visitors were entitled
TO that rate on the condition that they
staid whole week, otherwise they should
pay at the regular rates, IS per day.
The party. however held their ground
and laid the sum they thought they
should pay on the clerks desk, and pro-
ceeded to evaeuete the hotel with such
part of their luggage as they could carry.
One trunk was left, however, and this
the management said they would hold
until they had received full payment at
regular rates. The party secured lodg-
ing elsewhere. and yesterday the trunk
was sent to the owner One of the la
dies said last night that the trouble had
been settled AMIGA bly,. and that they had
no ill-feeling against the hotel people
She said they had refused TO pay The sun
asked for by the management because
there had been definite understanding
before they registered as to the rate thai
| should be paid.

The industrial quarter was compare
lively neglected but q firm tone was
evident there also, particularly for the
steel industrials. Sugar was only lightly
| dealt in.
The local traction issues were likewise
steady, but were comparatively duh.
An influence of no little weight in the
market was the reversal of tone shown
in the London market for American
stocks, where material advances were
+, common. There was no particular expla-
nation of the changed toae OF the LONDON
market but a decided revival of strength
and animation in American stocks was
reported there.
Aside from this feature of the situation,
there was little that was really new pre-
