THE WATER QUESTION.
SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.


The special town meeting held last
Friday was very largely attended, about
two hundred voters being present, be-
sides large number of non voters, but
taxpayers. The first article in the
warning was to see if the town would
vote to construct water system. A
resolution to this effect presented by the
Rev. f. p Lee provoked considerable
discussion, but was ultimately with
drawn and the article as published in
the warning substituted. Harry B.
Amey, Esq, was the chief speaker in
favor of adopting the article, while DIR.
Norcross very vehemently opposed it,
and was alone in his opposition so far
as speaking was concerned. Finally
the voters tired of the discussion, re-
fused to listen to the doctor and de.
manded a ballot. During the progress
of the ballet non voter who voted was
challenged, and the whole vote taken
was declared null and void and new
ballot ordered. This resulted in vote
of l66 favoring the town owning its
water system, only s being recorded
against it. The ballot bcx remained
open one hour.
When article two was taken up the
Rev. f. p. Lee presented the following
resolution, which covers the substance
of the article:
"That the second article be adopted,
and that the selectmen be authorized to
borrow upon the credit of the town a
sum not exceeding $4,000 for the pur.
pose of establishing or constructing a
water supply system for the village OF
Island Pond"
A ballot was demanded on this
question, and there was only one mega
tive vote.
The third article was disposed of by
the unanimous adoption of the follow
ing resolution, also presented by thu
Rev.'E. p. Lee:
THAT the third article be adopted
and that three. commissioners be ap
pointed by the moderator who shalt hi
the agents of the town under existing
charter, and whose duty it shall be t,
establish or construct system of waite
supply for the village of Island Pond
in accordance with the two article
already adopted
Subsequently moderator Randall ar
pointed as commissioners, G. f. Clarke
D. p. Mckenzie and Eugene Foss.
Dr. Norcross was on the off side o.
this occasion, but presented his views i
his usual vigorous and aggressive mar
ner, and was frequently applauded fo
his eloquence, not his sentiments.
Harry Amey's remarks were pointe
and telling. He earnestly advocate
!, the town owning its water system, an
the voters being in sympathy with TIL
scheme, were not backward in shown
their approval alike of the speaker
sentiments, and the forceful manner i
which they were delivered.
We think at times moderator Raj
. dali was wondering where he was a
but he kept the meeting well in hand.
Now Messrs. Commissioners tn
question is up to you.

BOON TO SEASIDE RESORT TRAVELLERS.
The heavy tourist traffic to the Noun
tains of New England, Portland, 'CascO
Bay, and seaside resorts on the Maine
Coast, is increasing annually, from points
in Canada especially. This has led the
Grand Trunk to put on fast express
trains between Montreal and Portland
and Old Orchard, and to give still
better service to their patrons, have in-
augurated a cafe-parlor car service be-
tween Montreal and Portland, leaving
Montreal at 500 A. NJ, daily except
Sunday, and leaving Portland at SIS A.
NJ. daily except Sunday.
These cars are of the most improved
type, the general style of the interiors
being colonial, finished in quartered oak.
The floors are carpeted with handsome
designed Wilton, and the cuisine is
without fault. Meals are served a la
carte at any time during the day. At
one end of the car is beautifully fitted
up ladies toilet. In the adjacent COM
partment is found the parlor, containing
ten revolving chairs covered in parlor
colored peacock blue plush, and two
comfortable wicker chairs. Large win
dows, allowing sweeping view of the
landscape is another feature not forgot
ten, and the country through which
these trains pass is so full of interest and
scenic beauty that this feature will be
appreciated by the passengers. A door
separates the parlor from the dining
room,--a comfortable salon with seating
capacity of sixteen persons. This room
is also handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with leather covered movable chairs.
Adjoining the dining room is the
kitchen, wine-locker and buffet, arranged
in most compact way with view to
quick service and the saving of space.
A cosy smoking-room is supplied, finish
ed in quartered oak. The woodwork of
the parlor is finished in mahogany, and
the ceilings are tinted green, with orna-
mentations in artistic combinations of
gold. The Book-lover's Library is in.
stalled OH these cars, aud passengers in
the Cafe, Parlor or Pullman car have
access to same. Subscribers to the
Library are also allowed to exchange
their books. Altogether, the Cafe-Par-
lor cars are a revelation of beauty,
comfort and righteousness, and make
travel pleasure.
These cars will be appreciated by
travellers between Montreal Quebec,
Sherbrooke, Compton, and Coaticook,
especially on the Westbound trains,
when supper can be enjoyed before
reaching Montreal, or an early luncheon
on the eastbound train.

Fairmont has joined the Protective

The objects of the association are as
follows: The protection of the ind..

ers, the keeping of the players aver.
ages in the secretary's Office, and the

some team needs game on Shot,
notice, the manager can by wiring to
the head Office, find out what clubs
have open dates and then can wire or
write to the ones he desires to play.
Protection from inferior teams is an
other object.

OF A KING.
RearuAdn,iral Writes About courtesles
Exchanged at Naples.

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-In a re
port to the Navy Department. Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans. who is now
on his way from Manila to New York
on the battIeship Kentucky. tells OF
being entertained at dinner by the
King and Queen OF Italy. The report
is dated at Naples, and in part Ad-
niral Evans says:
Upon approaching the harbor OF
Naples 1t was observed that two large
French and Italian fleets were anchor
ed in double line outside the break
water, and. upon being boarded by the
harbor pilot, it was learned that the
presence of the ships was on account
OF the visit of President Loubet of
the French republic, to the King OF
Italy. both rulers being upon the day
of our arrival in Naples.
Shortly after anchoring an officer
from the Italian flagship came on
board and informed me that the
French President and the King OF
Italy would inspect the French and
Italian heets at 8 A. NJ, and request
ed me to extend the customary sa-
lutes and ceremonies of such occas-
ions. which request was glad, to COM
ply With.
"At S a. NJ. dressed ship with the
French National colors at the fore,
the Italian at the main, and saluted
the port and officials. All 9 a. M. his
majesty with the President of the
Fren CHI Republic on board the Italian
ship Regina Margherita steamed out
of the harbor and Inspected both
lines OF the French and Italian feetsy
the Kentucky firing the customary sas-
l,1tes About IL a. Nj, upon the conf
pletion of the inspection. the French
President left the Marsherita and
went on board the French ship Mar
after which the French feet
got under way and sailed for France,
the King Of Italy returning to Naples.
ION the morning of The Goth l was
informed that the King would visit
the Kentucky AT the time Of the re-
ceipt OF the message we were taking
in coal from lighters on both sides
and the ship was, consequently, not
in a very satisfactory condition for
His Majesty, accompanied
by the Minister OF Marine and several
officers, came on board
about il A. NJ. and expressed his de-.
sire to be shown over the ship.
escorted him throug-. the vessel, in
which he showed great interest, and
expressed himself as much pleased.
He spent about an hour5on board, and
upon his departure co1nplimented the
r entuctty very highly.
Yesterday an Invitation was receiv-
ed for myself and chief OF staff to dine |
With Hh;A najesties The King and |
Queen at the Royal Palace in this city. |
The dinner was a very pleasant affair, !
and their najesties we're extremely |
cordial and attentive. A great deal I
Of interest was shown in the Kentucky /
and our navy generally, for which the |
King appeared to have great admira- |
ton, and also the same for the A rper-
can people.
