Pscataquis Slate Quarries.

The reason for this expec ed boom is
that the owners of the quarrirs are offer
ed a means of cheaper transportation
through the opening of the Northern

found that they can ship slale from
either Monson, Blanchard OF BrownVille

to New York by steamer cheaper than
by rail To Boston. This will, ii is claim

In BrownviIle the price of real estate

,Ames, Aug. 1.-THE Ames chautau-
qua came to successful close last
evening, after ten days session Yes
terday,s attendance broke all records
for any one day since the association
was launched, three years ago. More
than 5000 people thronged the grounds
during the afternoon. The gate re-
ceipts. aside from the season tickets,
amounted to more than $500, thus as
suring the management that there
would be no deficit, and allaying all
fears that an assessment would need
to be made on the stock to pay out.
The last days program was perhaps
the best Of the entire session. The
forenoon number was filed by George
l.. McNutt, who was greeted by a fair
sized audience. Booker 4. Washing
ton in the afternoon proved to be the
creates. drawing card, and by the time
the hour had arrived for his address
the spacious tent was crowded to its
full capacity. Hundreds lined up on
the outside in columns ten deep, all
trying to hear few words from the
lips of this famous lecturer. The Will
Jams Jubilee Singers gave the closing
number in the evening. and were
greeted by large and appreciative
audience. The unfavorable weather
the first of the week deferred many
from attending, but the last two days
of sunshine brought many, and with
their coming the association has been
enabled to announce that it is out of
the woods financially, with a possible
small surplus in the treasury.
