IN one respect the Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland, Oregon, which
closed its gates week ago. made n
unique record. 1t will be the one ex-
position in the list OF enterprises of
that sort that after settling up all its
bills will have a cash balance to dis
irlputt among the subscribers to its
stock. 1t is estimated that from one
quarter to three-eights of the money
contributed by the stockholders will be
returned to them from the cash sur
plus. AS it is the presumption in such
enterprises that the stockholders in
NeStment is repaid by the Increased
business and the advertising incident to
thf fair this cash return NAV well be

Up along the Maine New Hamp-
shire border they are still squabbling
about the proper locale of the recent
peace treaty. AS the article itself,
however. proclaims that it was done
lat Portsmouth" we rather guess the
Brewery City has the laugh on its
rivals.-Boston Journal.
Nevertheless, and Notwithstanding.
and although Portsmouth may chortle
with glee. the fact remains that the
treaty was signed in Kittery and not
in the New Hampshire city. Diplo-
macy is responsible for many fictions,
and for none more unfortunate and
unjustified than the concluding phrase
of the treaty which says that it was
done at Portsmouth, The treaty
was neither done in Portsmouth, nor
begun, nor continued there. 1t is
Maine which has been officially done"

City Liquor Agent Clark of Rockland
calls attention to some interesting sta

1901 the sales at the agency amounted
10 Sa25 and in that mCnth there were
- arrests for drunkenness. In Sep
tcrnbcr. 1905. the sales amounted to
S9S7 and there We're only 81 arrests for
drunkenness. The moral he draws
from these figures Is that the agency
purchases are not what cause work for

Hancock county must either be a
else the large summer population must
be a stimulus to the ambitions of the
preacher who finds himself working
here on 4 small salary. Within n few
months numerous changes have taken
place in the pastors of the county. The
Bar Harbor Record without attempting
TO give all. mentions 4 few Of the
changes. In Bar HarbOr. Pastor Til
den resigned from the Baptist pastor
ate. and Rev. Charles McKoy has been
chosen his successor. Pastor Whitmore
resigned a few weeks ago from the
Salisbury Cove church; Rev. A. p.
Macdonald read his resignation at
Otter Creek and Seal Harbor. not many
Sundays ago; Pastor Walker of South
west Harbnr resigned some months
ago; Pastor Hargrava few weeks ago
resigned the passionate at Northeast
Harbor; Rev. Clarence Emery only a
few months ago resigned his duties at
ManSet: Rev. John Lawrence has left
Deer Isle; Pastor COnley has resigned
from the Stonington church and Pastor
ffencn from the ofland cnurch. The
reason for the numerous changes is
doubtless the small salaries paid these
workers. which in many cases is in
sufficient to support their families in
the way they deserve and the public
expect. OF the u Congregational
churches in Hancock county but five
have settled pastors. The average
preacher of the gospel today is the
poorest paid public servant.
