There were nine vessels of the U. S. Navy
in Rockland harbor last Saturday night,
not including the practice ship Chase. The
cruiser Atlanta sailed Sunday morning for
the government coaling station at East La
moline, and the monitor Arkansas sailed
Monday for Castine, to remain there few
days. The Alabama and other battleships
are expected to arrive from Norfolk soon.
The big sloop Ethel owned by the
port last week with fresh halibut, cod,
haddock and Holsters. She was built by her
owners and launched this season and is
very able looking craft. Saturday the
sloop Bay Queen, Capt. Smith, was in with
fresh fish, and Capt. Daley of Vinalhaven
was here with his power dory, but brought
no fish or Holsters this trip.
A Journal representative had a ride on
delivery team last Friday afternoon on
lower High and Church and some of the
cross streets and short distance down
NOrthpOrt avenue, and could but admire the
fine appearance of the residences and
grounds in that section. Year by year there
has been constant Improvement in this d.
rection and it is the general opinion that
Belfast never looked better than it does to-
day.
The Choral Union entertainment to be
given in the auditorium, Northport Camp
ground, Monday evening, July 51st, will be
well worth attending aside from aiding the
efforts OF the summer residents to raise
money for the purpose of lighting the
grounds the entire season. The program,
given in our Northport News, is certainly
most attractive one and providing the
weather is favorable there should be a large
attendance from Belfast.
+. S. Holmes, the real estate agent, has
sold the L. c. Putnam place in East Belfast
to F. S. Jones Of Reading, Pa Mr.. Jones
bought it for relative, who will occupy it.
1t is a very nice farm of 60 acres, with good
buildings. MI Putnam, who has BEEN
quite extensively engaged in the egg bust
ness, will find another location. Mr., Holmes
has also sold the S. A. Rendell place in
Stockton Springs to W. II. Quimby of Bel
fast. There is dwelling, a stable and five
acres of land, which will be cut up into
building lots
At the last regular meeting of The In
provement Society it was decided to employ
for the remainder of the season a caretaker
at the pavilion and lighthouses. Persons
desiring to use the latter will from this date
find the keys and tickets in the hands of
Master Houston Small on the premises,
during all suitable times for bathing. Tick
cts in packages of 10 will be sold for IS cts.
Each single bath ticket for adults 10 cents,
for children under fifteen, cents. Any
further particulars can be obtained from
the secretary, So Spring street. Telephone
1872.
The night lunch cart has been ordered OFF
the streets of Boston, and the proprietorS
are aggrieved Some of them have been
making money at the rate of $4,000 year,
and the privilege is valuable one. The
city authorities hold that victuallerS who
pay rent for their establishments ought not
to suffer the competition of men who pay
no land tax at all.
Our local dealers in fruit, which includes
all the grocers as well as the fruit and con-
fectionery stores, have a like competition
in the men who peddle fruit from wagons
Last Saturday part of the pavement on
Masonic Temple corner was used as a
branch fruit store in connection with a
wagon peddler.
STEAMER NOTES. Travel is heavy Oh all
the steamer lines now and freights are
correspondngly heavy. Staterooms on the
steamers of the Eastern Steamship Co. are
engaged for weeks ahead. The Golden Rod
on the Bucksport- Camden route is making
excellent time, with lots of passengers and
freight. The steamer Rockland of the Ban
gor-Brooksyille line was unable to take all
Of the passengers on the trip to Bangor
Thursday morning, and the steamer Ire
mont was put on to help matters out. The
travel on this line just now is heavy and
the two steamers have about all they can
attend to. The steamer Silver Star, now
making two trips daily between Belfast,
Isiesboro and Castine, is doing large bust
ness. She discontinued her trips to Dark
Harbor July DIST until further notice.
The free X-Zalia demonstration at W. O.
Poor's drug store this week is meeting with
great success There is continued stream
of people coming in to receive treatment
for various skin diseases and many very
successful treatments have been made. Miss
Gage, the nurse says: "From what | have
seen of the results to be obtained from the
use of the X-Zalia | am convinced that for
all skin diseases it is one remedy of a thous-
and. Some of the things it will do are al.
most beyond belief and in my work through.
