Song of Brother Williams.

Crank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitu-
tion.)
Brother Williams was a singcr-he could
beat 'cm all at that
An he always sung the loudest when
they passed around the hat;
Then he'd shet his eyes-throw back his
head, unconscious as could be.
An shake the roof an rafters with 'I'm
Glad salvation's FreeW
'We're a-1iecdin subscription, says the
preacher, ''fer the poor.
An omegenerit heather on the missionary
shore:
Takes cash to send the gospel to give 'cm
light to see"
(Then Brother Williams raised the tune,
"I'm Glad Salvatiml's Free")
No matter what the cause was-if cash
was in demand.
For Greenland's icy mountains, or 1ndia's
coral strand,
He'd always shet his eyes an sing, as
loud as loud could be,
That same l'time, covenient song, 'Tm
Glad Salvation's Freew
An reckon when at last he passed an
reached the shinin' shore.
Where there1l never be no sighin' an no
sorrow anymore.
As they let him i'll the Gates of Gold, as
happy as could be,
He shook the walls of Glory with 'I'm

The Crime of Greed.

greed, every lust of the flesh but
the lust of gain, every sin that
ever damned a soul but the sin of

beasts of ancient Egypt, I'd rath-
er be witch's Gator even pol

with my tribe; I'd rather be a

be mangey dog without a mas

The centre-board boat White Star, owned
by Minot F. Stearns, is being changed over
to fin keel by E. L. Macomber. She has
been out of commission two years.

The Northport flyers, Caprice and Anita,
were out Sunday and had their first contest,
in which the former is said to have had the
best of it. Neither boat, is however, in COM
plete trim for racing, and when both are
tuned up there will be some pretty sail
ing. 1t is already demonstrated that not
one of the local fleet has any business with
Caprice or Anita.
The Roberts yacht Anita arrived at her
moorings at the North Shore, Northport,
Wednesday night, July Sd, from Vinal-
haven, where she had new mast stepped

James Gordon Bennett has just taken pos
session of his new yacht the Lysistrata,
which is the finest vessel of the kind in
existence. She was built on the Clyde and
is OF 1000 tons burden, with engine of 1000
horsepower. Bennett is very fond of owls
as emblems and has them not only on the
Herald building but also on the bow of this
splendid vessel, whose cost is S625,oOO, be-
ing the most expensive yacht ever built.
Her complement is 100 men and the total
outlay cannot be less than $500 day or
about quarter of a million year.

The Best Way to Visit Buffalo.

Residents of Maine who desire to visit the
great Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo

manner will find the arrangements of the
Maine Central Railroad by all odds the best
for that purpose By special through train
one can start at most comfortable hour,
$50 a. m. from Portland and without change
of cars arrive in Buffalo the next forenoon
BY no other route is this possible. The
route, too, is celebrated for its beauty, in
Guiding the far famed Crawford Notch of
the White Mountains, and the hills and
lakes of Vermont. With commendable en-
terprise the management have made arrange
ments whereby they not only furnish the
best facilities for reaching Buffalo, but also
hotel accommodations, trips to Niagara
Falls, in fact they can give you complete
arrangements from start to finish, and in
any way or style desired. Wednesday, July
18th and 31st there will be personally con-
Quoted high-claSS tour under the personal

known tourist conductor, occupying a per-
iod of eight days. These parties will have
special Pullman cars, take dinner at the Mt
Pleasant House, with special buffet service
for supper and breakfast. In Buffalo they
will stop at the Niagara Hotel, one of the
best hotels in Buffalo, and in all ways be
made as comfortable as possible. Full in
formation in regard to all matters connect
ed with visit to the great fair can be
obtained by addressing Mr. F. E. Boothby,

The Fourth in Belfast.

The 18th of July was not publicly observed
in Belfast, and many of our people spent
the day elsewhere. Seaside Hose Co. had
fiag-raising at their hose-house in the morn
ing. The grounds had been graded and
flagstaff set up. The building was elabo-
rately decorated with flags, bunting, ETC.,
and at sunrise ON the 4th a salute was fired
and the new flag raised to the masthead.
The flag was bought by a general subscrip-
ton in the neighborhood. Refreshments
were served and considerable powder
burned.
Brooks celebrated in the good, old-fashion-
ed way, with parade, in which Belfast
Company, U. R., K. of P, took part, an ora
ton by Frank P. Wilson of Belfast, and
other features common to 4th of July cele-
brations. The trains to and from Brooks
were crowded during the day and special
train went up from Belfast at Z O'Clock, re-
turning after the dance in the evening.
The steamer Cimbria called in the fore
noon with large excursion party on board
from Bangor to Islesboro, and a goodly
number joined them here. They returned
in the evening. But one ser ious accident
was reported during the day. Roy Ma
comber, aged s years, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. L. Macomber, was holding can of pow
der from which some boys were loading a
small cannon, when the powder exploded.
One leg was quite badly burned, the skin Of
his arms Slightly burned, and his eyebrows
and hair snged. With the exception Of the
burn on his leg his wounds are not serious.
few stores and residences were decorat
ed with flags and other emblems, and pub
lie offices and places of business were closed
during the day and evening. The boys made
less than the usual amount of noise s'the
night before the Fourth with bells, crack
ers, ETC., and no damage was done or no
mischief attempted.
The ball game in the afternoon drew the
largest croud Of the season. A report of
the game is given in our baseball column.

BASE BALL.

The game between the Warrens and Bel
fasts on the Congress street grounds July
4th was largely attended, and resulted in a
victory for the home team by score of 16
to 6. Warren lost through poor battery
work, and was obliged to change her play
ers positions twice. The game opened with
Saunders p, and Kelley c. ; in the 4th inning
Jason caught, Feehan played Sd and Kelley
right field; and in the 5th and later, Jason
was in the box, Kelley again behind the bat
and Saunders played Sd. Very few fielding
errors were made, but base hits were numer-
GUS. Darby got a 3-bagger and home run,
the latter by knocking the ball over the
right-feld fence, and Saunders got home
by long one over the fence at centre. But
one double play was made. Patterson hit
a long fly to right field, which Feehan
caught and threw to 1st, where league put
out Ring. The most interesting situation
was when the last Warren man went
out. There were three men on bases, 2
men out and strikes had been called on
Feehan, and everybody was looking to see
something happen. 'Tis said that the un-
expected often happens, but in this case the
expected didn't happen. Feehan struck
at the ball and hit nothing but the atmos-
phere. The score:

The game Friday was even more of
walk-over for Belfast than that of Thurs
day, the score being 20 to in favor of Bel
fast. The Boston Journal team seemed to
be troubled in the same way as the Warrens,
with weak battery. The first pitcher,
Barre,- went all to pieces and was exchang-
ed in the 5th inning for McDermott, who
did no better. Belfast got hits with a
total of off Barre in the 5th, and singles
off McDermott in the 9th. Belfast got in all
ed to score after the I'd inning. Shaw was
injured by cutting his leg with his shoe
calks and spraining his ankle in the 4th,
and Viau, new man, was put at centre j;
McDermott going into the box and Barre

The Belfasts won their third consecutive

The Belfasts won their third consecutive
victory on the home grounds Saturday, by
large odds. Their opponents were the
Watervilles, who played very good
game but were outplayed all around. Hag-
garty was hit by a pitched ball but once in
this game, one taste Of Doherty's pitching
being evidently enough to satisfy him.
Some of the features of the game were a
sprint to second by Johnson, three-bagger
by Patterson, a running catch by Ring, a
! home run by German, and running fly
catches by Abbott, Elmer Allen and the
,, Belfast out-felders. Webb was knocked
senseless by being hit in the head by a
pitched ball, and Johnson ran for him, steal
ing second as his first move and getting in a
score. The Belfasts and Watervilles are
sharp competitors, yet the best Of feeling
prevails between them, and good plays by
the visitors were applauded as vigorously
from the grand stand and bleachers as were
those of our own boys. Following is the
