The up-River Eair.

All who have any idea of attending the
up-river fair OF the Northern Hancock
agricultural society should not forget the
dates-Tuesday aud Wednesday, Sept. %
and 80.
And all who enjoy a genuine old-fash-
ioned country fair will not fail to attend.
One OF the leading attractions will be
Prof. w. A. Coles, the wonderful blind
impersonator and ventrfloquist, who will
give a series OF free entertainments
throughout the fair.
There will be base ball games each day
between strong amateur teams. The
band music will be furnished by Lynch
OF Ellsworth Falls, the dance music by
Monaghan's orchestra, of Ellsworth.
There will be many other attractions,
but the primary purposes for which the
fair is held each year are the displays of
products Of the farm, and these promise
to be unusually attractive this year.
1t looks now as though the clerk of the
weather is the only party who can in, any
way prevent this years fair from sur
passing all it's predecessors. And IL he
does, the management will meet him by
holding over Thursday.

CASTRO SCARES OFF CLAIMANT.
His Methods Declared to He in violation
Of the Venezuelan Protocols.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN
CURACAO. d. W. l., July 30.-It is learned
here from authoritative sources that Presi-
dent Castro of Venezuela has ordered a
furious press campaign against all for
eigners, especially Mr.. Olcott. an American
citizen and president of the Orinoco Steam
ship Company. which recently presented
a claim against Venezuela before the mixed
commission, and NJ. vialerigo, a French
man. who was lately expelled from Vene-
zuela for having sent in claims for dam
ages.
The Venezuela Club. which refused to
expel Vialerigo as member, was closed by
President Castro The family Of NJ Via
lerigo was also menaced in various ways,
and, fearing for their security and that Of his
grandchildren, who are born Venezuelans,
Vialerigo from Curacao sent word that he
would withdraw his claims. and Castro
allowed him to return to Caracas. The
action Of President Castro showed that
the expulsion Of Vialerigo was not because
he was revolutionist. but for the reason
that he had presented claim against the
Venezuelan Government.
1t is impossible to imagine proceeding
more contrary to the protocols signed by
Mr.. Bowen as the representative Of Vene-
zuela, in which the right Of claimants ia

about il at Oyster Bay. Mr.. Swanstrom

clined to say what particular reason he had

been discussed. Mr.. Swanstrom replied:
you must really excuse me from talking
about my visit. All that / will say is that
I went to Oyster Bay, saw the President
and had very delightful time
Mr.. Swanstrom announced several months

ton for Borough President, and some peo-
ple got the impression that he intended
