AN OLD-TIME SCHOONER. Some weeks
ago journal subscriber in the west wrote
us: eff you would take the trouble to look
up the record in the custom house in Bel :
| fast and find out what year the topsai
| schooner Baltimore cleared from the Gus
tom hou Sc at Frankfort think it was the
year 1888 or 1881 will try to give my
! recollections of that voyage" Collector
Knowlton kindly undertook to look the
matter up, but was unable to get the date
of clearance, probably because Frankfort
may have been in the Bangor collection
district. He did, however, find that she
was built in Prospect in 1888, and her last
enrolment was in March, 1910, and she was
lost in 1S41. She was owned as folio VS.:

THOSE PUPPIES. The lower window of
A. d. Chase & Sons dry goods establish
ment on Main street has been a center of
attraction since Friday morning, and al
most any time since then an admitting
group of people could be seen gathered
there watching the occupants of the win
RI Snanjalc Thorn
three black ones and three red ones, and
each little fellow is ornamented with IA
perky little ribbon bow of pink or blue,
which sets off his charms to perfection.
There has been many heated dispute
among the small people who haunt the
place and fatten their noses against the
glass in an attempt to get as near as pos
sibe as to which are the prettiest, but no
decision has been reached, even by the
grown people, and "choosing' remains a
favorite pastime. They are sleepy little
things and apparently very "cuddly" and
atfectionate, for they spend good part of
their time curled up in a group or groups,
entirely oblivious of the obs! and abs! of
admiration from outside Even the other
was seen holding his own rather heavy pet
up in his diminutve arms, that he, too,
might enjoy the sight. To pass the window
is to stop, to stop is to admire, and the chill
drens wish to have one for their Every
own finds an echo from many older lips.
EDWARD BAXTER PERRY's RECITAL.
The large audience which gathered in
uon E,,;l It.,
listen to the pianoforte lecture-recital by
Edward Baxter Perry, the blind musician,
was in no way disappointed. The plan
which Mr.. Perry originated and follows,
of prefacing his playing with brief but
vivid description of the composition he is to
present, with its characteristics and the
circumstances of its origin, adds materially
to the enjoyment of the audience, particu-
larly to those who are not especially mu-
steal. Mr., Perry prefaced his work with
brief summary and description of the three
divisions of music, later eXemplifying each
by numbers on the program. His brief
explanatory talks before each number were
enjoyed almost as much as the playing
itself, for Mr.. Perry, aside from his wonder
full mastery over the piano, has most
unusual grasp on the English language,
and his power of drawing word pictures is
both remarkable and fascinating. The
program, which was a varied one, gave
scope for the demonstration of his wonder
full powers, and each selection was so much
enjoyed and so totally unlike its predeces
sor, that comparison was Impossible. Two
of Mr.. Perry's own compositions added no
little interest to the evening. The Parlor
Musical Society, under whose auspices MIR.
Perry gave the recital, certainly deserve
the heartiest thanks from the audience
which had the pleasure of listening to such
a rare musical treat. Following is the pro-
gram:
