The Rickers, shore Hotel.

The Bay Point hotel, at Rockland
breakwater, which cost, with its furnish
ings, upwards OF SO, 600, was sold yester-
day, together with fiftyfiv acres of land
and the large stable, to the Rickers, of
Poland Spring, for $4,000. The price
paid is hardly more than sufficient to pay
the mortgage on the property, but the
Bay Point hotel company, which has
found 1t an expensive and responsible
charge in the past twelve years, makes
the sacrifice in order to induce the
Rickers to locate there, and with their
prestige develop the locality into sue
cessful summer resort.
Before completing the purchase the
Rickers bought large piece of adjoining
land which with the forty acres retained
by the Bay Point hotel company, will be
devoted to summer cottages.
The Rickers will Immediately begin
work ON an extension and improvements
which will cost not less than $4,000

After number of days of serious
weather conditions in the corn and
spring wheat states, advices of lower
temperature and moderate rains came
as great relief to business through
out the country, says Dun's Reuielo.
Spectators, whose expressions of fear
for the interests of the country were
becoming daily stronger with their
success in depressing values of securi-
ties, were brought up sharply, and
were disposed to consider more fully
the general undoubted prosperity.
Labor matters took on more hope
full aspect.
A fortnight of the steel strike has
passed without materially altering
the position of the contestants, or adj
versely affecting the industry as a
whole. Instead Of spreading to mills
all over the country, as threatened by
the labor leaders, the controversy is
confined to comparatively small
number of plants, and most of these
needed an opportunity to make re-
pairs. Exceptional activity is noticed
at mills not affected by the strike.
New lines of WOODEN goods for de-
livery after October 1, opened at
moderate reductions from last years
prices, as generally expected by the
trade. Supplies of heavy weight
goods have been reduced to salts
factory point, and the situation in all
branches of the industry is such as 10
engender confidence. Raw wool, how
ever, thus far fails to reflect the i'm
proyement, quotations remaining I'M
changed at the lowest average price
in four years.
Shoe shops are producing at full
capacity, with orders arriving steadi-
ly, and statesmen are already placing
spring samples literally in westeln
and southern markets. Business i'm
proves as the season advances, and
local jobbers report July trade in ex-
cess of the corresponding month in
any previous year. Sales of summer
goods have surpassed expectations,
and wholesalers are endeavoring to
secure prompt delivery from manu-
facturers to replenish depleted stocks.
An unusually large number of buyers
are in the Boston market. Prices are
unchanged, the higher quotations for
leather preventing even the smallest
concessions.

Names Population by Sexes.

In bulletin just issued by the census
bureau, the population of Maine by sexes
and birth is given as follows:
Maine Males, 350,995; females, 343 All;
natives, ,136, foreign, 1880; whites.
692 ,226; colored, 2,240, including 1873
negroes, 119 Chinese, Japanese aud 7ss
Indians.
In 1890 there were 1872 500 males and
1928 ,496 females. In 1880 there were $40
more women than men.
These figures show two things, fortu-
nate or unfortunate, according to the
point of view-man's chances of remain
ing single in Maine are growing better; a
woman's chances of remaining single are
growing less.
They also show another thing which is
encouraging from any point of view
more Maine boys are staying at home.

Public comment upon the personnel
of the court of inquiry, named by
Secretary Long, to inquire into Rear
Admiral Schley's conduct during the
war with Spain, has been all one way
highly Mandatory. Secretary Long
has also been commended for in
structing the court to render an opin-
ion and make recommendation on
the facts brought out by the inquiry.
This promises final settlement of the
controversy which has been deeply
regretted, as it is quite certain that
whatever opinion may be rendered or
recommendations made by court
composed of Admiral Dewey and Rear
Admirals Kimberly and Benham, will
be accepted and endorsed by the
American people.

puny child is always an anxiety to the par
ents. There seems generally no reason why
the little one should be weak when II is SO well
fed. But the fact Is that IL does not matter how
extract the nourishment from It. No benefit
can be deceived from Just eating. That is the
condition of many sickiy child. The stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition are not
doing their work, and the body is really starv-
ing. IL is little use to give FISH foods, like cod
liver oil or emulsions. In such case, because
these also have to be digested; they may tighten
the stomach's labor but they don't strengthen
1t. Strength is what the stomach needs. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
the stomach, nourishes the nerves and increases
the action of the blood making glands. 1t Is
superior to every other preparation for child
ren's use, on account of its body building quail
ties and also because 1t is pleasant to the taste
and contains no alcohol, whisky or other intox-
icant. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are valu.
able aid when the bowels are irregular. They
are small. Children take them readily.

Here's little story of the advance In
Mt. Desert real estate which came to the
Gessiper's ears this week. Eighteen years
ago Northeast Harbor man wanted to
paint his house. He approached an Ellis
worth man and told him If he would let
him have $50 to paint his house, he would
give him the deed to piece of land
which he owned at Northeast Harbor. 1t
wasn't much good for farming land, but
might be worth something some day.
The Ellsworth man gave him $50 and took
a deed OF the land. A short time after
ward he sold half interest in the piece
to another Ellsworth man for Il 200. A
few years ago they were asked for an OPP
tion on the land at $4,000, OF which
g, 500 was paid down, to be forfeited il the
land was not bought. The purchase was
not made, and the Ellsworth men pocket
ed the 2, 900 forfeit. A year or two later
they sold oue-quarter of the piece for
$500. They still own three-quarters of
the original piece, and it would take
sonnet hing like 81, 900 to buy it. How
that Northeast Harbor man must wish he
hadn't painted his housed

makes invidious comparison of Ellsworth
and Bar Harbor in the matter of prohibit
ton enforcement. He writes:
In your last issue, July "a, was this item
under heading County Gossip: "Down at Bar
Harbor lin prohibition Mane) the authorities
have notified the saloon keepers that bars must
be closed at IL p. m. week days and all day sun
days"
Now don't pretend to uphold the constant
violation of the so-ealied Maine prohibition law
as seen here in Bar Harbor, no decent man does
like it, but what do protest against is the as
sumed attitude of that item as to the virtue of
your own town. Isn't Ellsworth in prohibition
Maine too? And what about its eight or more
groggeries open and going every day in the
week, and back door for Sunday too, as men
have been seen on your streets Sundays as
drunk as fools, and they got it in Ellsworth.
Bar Harbor has to tolerate looseness as re-
CARDS the strict enforcement of he Maine law,
but | defy anybody on earth or in Heaven
above to Investigate the two towns, Bar Har-
Dor and Ellsworth, and tell us that Bar Harbor
is any the greater sinner of the two on this pro-
hibition question. And as man quite we'll
acquainted with both places, it is my opinion
that in proportion to the permanent population
of the two places, your town is the worse. I'd
get clean myself before I'd insinuate much
about the filth on others.
The Gossiper finds nothing at issue be-
tween the correspondent and himself. He
never intimated that Ellsworth wasn't in
prohibition Maine nor that she was any
better than her society sister ON the
coast in respect to the liquor law, SO the
correspondents assumption in that re-
gard is all wrong. But there is this diff
ference-Ellsworth does not recognize
liquor-selling except negatively; she
shuts her eyes to it. Bar Harbor officially
recognizes liquor-selling by passing or
Characterization, they may be, but
ordinances which the town officials en-
force, nevertheless-to regulate the traffic.
Look at the picture. The officials Of a
town in state which prohibits the sale
OF liquor, saying, in effect, that liquor
may be cold up to certain hour. 1t was
the absurdity of this spectacle which the
Gossiper wished to emphasize in the item
last week. 1t is bad enough that the
Maine prohibition law is so unblushingly
ignored, but when things reach such
pass that liquor-selling under prohibi-
ton law is officially regulated, it is little
wonder that the Maine law becomes a
subject for ridicule.
