The POpe,


The life of Pope Leo XIII still hangs
by a thread which may be broken at
any moment. Now for nearly two
weeks the interest and sympathy of
the civilized world have been at
.raeted to the Vatican.
The dying pontiff has reached an age
long beyond the allotted span, being
in his ninety fourth year, and has
been pope for nearly twenty-six
years. His has been life of great
activity and industry. His purposes
have, says Bradstreet's, in brief but
comprehensive article, been benefi-
cent, and his temper has affected the
mass of men as being singularly
kindly and benign.
But he has been more than this.
Apart from his exalted station, his
individuality has impressed itself
upon his age, which sees in him one
of its first statesmen, and men gener-
ally viii recognize that in the depart
ure from life of this distinguished
ecclesiastical ruler, there will have
passed away one of the really great
personalities of the time.

OLD HOME WEEK.

Portland's Special Celebration on Aug.
12-Great Preparations.
The Maine legislature, during last win
ter's session, officially recognized the inn
portance of the Old Home week move
ment, and regularly established an Old
Home week, which for this year is August
10 to Is. On the Sunday preceding Cd
Home week it is hoped clergymen will
deliver appropriate sermons.
Portland, to aid in keeping up the good
work, will have special celebration,
with speaking by famous sons Of Maine,
and by public exercises on Wednesday,
August u. This will give visitors a
chance to see the forts which will defend
the harbor In the summer war maneuvres,
and the thousands of soldiers in garrison,
while there will be plenteous opportunity
to sail about Casco bay, enjoy the many
trolley trips for which Portland is world
famous, and to visit Portland's four sum
mer theatres.
1t is hoped that every town in Maine
will interest itself In this matter, as tend
ing to keep up the practice of former
residents aking an annual pilgrimage to
Maine. Apathy in the Old Home week
movement tends to iniure not only the
success of the affair. but also the interests
Of the entire State.
The full programme in Portland will be
announced In a short time.

The negotiations in the labor trouble
that has existed here for some time were
hung up for over a week without accom-
plishing any results.
Some time ago 1t was decided to submit
the differences to board OF arbitration.
This plan seemed practical, and was ac-
ceptabie to both. parties, but when it
came to selecting the board Of arbitrators
there was hitch.
Each side was to choose two men, one
resident and one on-resident, and the
four thus chosen were to select the fifth
member. The four men were chosen, but
each side objected to one OF the arbitra-
tors proposed by the other. A meeting
was held Saturday evening, and the
names of the men to whom objection was
made we're withdrawn and new names
were suggested, and it is probable that The
men named will be acceptable to both
sides.
The builders association has named
David Ogden, of New YORK, and Charles
F. Paine, OF Bar Harbor.
The men named by tue labor unions are
Arthur d. Addison, of Washington, d. C.,
and Rev. 8. l.. Hanscom, OF Bar Harbor.

ssKearsargeo Coming to Lamoine.

A dispatch from the navy department
to Capt. HemphilI, Of the United States
flagship "Kearsarge", lying at Portsmouth,
Eng, will be of interest TO many Ham
cock county people.
The orders are for Capt. Hemphill to
clean the "Kesrsarge's" propellers, fill her
bunkers with the best coal and go at
highest speed, natural draft, to French
mans bay.
In response to these orders 500 tons OF
coal have been ordered, and will be put
aboard to- day, the propellers and bottom
are being cleaned, and Friday at 9 a. M.
the "Kearssrge" will weigh anchor and
begin her speed trip across the Atlantic
to the Lamoine coaling station.
This Is the frat occasion in the time of
peace that q battleship has been subject
to such q severe test. II recalls a similar
voyage OF the "Oregon" at the time OF the
Spanish American war.
By the route selected by Capt. Hemp
hiH the "Kearsarge" will steam 2,S52
miles.

WEDNESDAY, JULY Is, 1908.
Business.
FDun's RertefD. J

Business again responds to improved
conditions. Retail distribution of
merchandise is accelerated by more
seasonable weather and fewer labor
controversies, while wholesale and
Jobbjng trade, especially at the
interior, shows the encouraging effect
of brighter agricultural prospects.
There is the customary excessive
demand for farm hands, in one
extreme case labor sold at auction for
Sc a day, while train loads of men
have been seized before reaching
their original destination.
Reports of holiday traffic and trade
in holiday goods indicate no
diminution in purchasing power, and
semi annual inventories show a more
gratifying situation than expected.
There is less than the usual mid
summer idleness in manufacturing,
except in the cotton industry.
Opening of fall lines at Baltimore
meet with good returns, there is
seasonable activity in dry goods at
Boston, reports from Philadelphia
indicate that lumber and building
materials are in brisk demand, while
railway traffic and industrial activity
are most satisfactory at Chicago.
Another week of favorable weather
has done much to restore normal crop
conditions, especially in sections
where replanting had put agricultural
products so far back that there was
danger from frost at the latter end of
the season. Gloomy statements are
being succeeded by reports of more
cheerful tone, and quotations require
speculative support to maintain their
position.
While cotton has not resumed a
normal price, it reacted about $40 a
bail below the high point two weeks
ago. 1t was an interesting COM
mentary on the fate of efforts to
corner the great staples that the
cotton market collapsed severely on
the same day that the last payment
was made in connection with the
settlement of claims against the firm
that failed three years ago in similar
effort to control the available supply
of cotton.

1t is greatly to the credit of both
parties to the. labor controversy at Bar
Harbor that they have agreed to settle
their differences by arbitration. 1t
would be a serious blow to every one
of the many phases of life at Bar Har-
Dor at this season of the year should a
strike occur Wise counsel seems to
have prevailed, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the difficulties will be speed
lily, amicably and satisfactorily settled

FROM BAR HARBoR.
Knockabout Races-Labor Troubles
Visit of the Warships.

Knockabout Races -Labor Troubles
Visit of the warships.
BAR HARBoR, July IA Especially The
| first OF the series of races between the
new feet of knockabouts was sailed last
Saturday and was won by Edgar Scott's
| "Bat" with H, L. Eno's "Astrid" second.
The first knockabouts were brought to
Bar Hsrbor some five or six years ago,
and since that time the amateur yachts
men who spend their summers at this
resort have become very enthusiastic
about these little craft which are very
speedy, and at the same time comfortab Bile
for cruising.
Last season there were several
twenty-five footers here, aud the races,
which were held once or twice a week
throughout the summer, were watched
with much interest.
Before the season closed last year II
was announced that several new thirty
footers would be built during the winter,
on practically the same lines and by one
design. This plan was followed, and all
the knocksbouts which will participate.
in this summers racing were built by
Herreshoff from one design, and their
ownership was determined by lot.
The new boats are thirty-one feet on
the waterline, and about forty-nine feet
on top. For such small boats they carry
a large amount of sail.
The races this summer will consist OF
series of from twenty to twenty five,
which are to be sailed twice a week-on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. One OF the
conditions OF the races is that an amateur
yachtsmsn must steer the boats. pro-
fessiopal may accompany the owner or
other amateur in charge, but on race days
he must not touch the wheel.
The boats being of exactly the same size
and design, and carrying the same amount
of canvas, the outcome of the races will
depend to large extent upon the skill OF
the amateur sailing masters.
Last Saturdays race brought out nine
contestants and was interestingly fought
out from start to finish. The Joker,
owned by II. NJ. Sears, led the way for
some time, but fell behind after a mishap
to some of her rigging.
Edgar Scott, whose boat won first place,
is very clever yachtsman, and he and
Mr.. Sears had many a close contest last
summer. Mr.. Scott was the winner of
last seasons series OF races.
The course on Saturday was from
point In the harbor to Schooner Head, to
Turtle Island lodges and home, twice
around. The boats in order OF finishing,
owners and elapsed time were as follows:
