money in tbe 2.15 race Rt the State fair, Lewiston, last Thursday. Five heats were necessary to decide the race.

Leavitt won two, the third and fourth, the third in 2.2b1 being tbe fastest time ot me race, t he horse Nominated, w hich won the race, got a mark of 2.27Vo. Speaking of the race the Lewiston Journal said: -Greely himself was up behind Leavitt, and though Mr. Greely is one of the wealthiest men in eastern

Maine, and a veteran with white locks, i « would rather drive in a horse trot than i\o almost anything else. ‘Hooray for

Greely. roared ttie grand stand over and

over, and blushing and bowing and ^ •raping *t ncle Greely’ stood in the stretch. All ttie folks like Mr. Greely nnyway; for he is one of the rare and radiant figures of the Maine turf. When he won the third heat of the 2.45 race

Thursday he got an ovation that did his soul good. It was a hot tight. ’Twas no

one's race until the turn into the stretch, is1 c’i Greely let out n fewT links and

opened up a long gap 'twixt him and Nominate i, w tcj i:.g under the wire far in * be lead.”

YACIIT RACK.

’'lost Interesting Race ever Sailed Ir; I'nloii River l»ay.

The yncht race on Tuesday was the most interesting ever sailed in Union river bay. Ten yachts started and the visitors carried away the money.

Only about fifty people went dow.* ti« bay on the excursion to witness the race,

but more drove down the shore, ate fish how derand watched the yachts.

first time. The “Znir i” had crawled up to second position from fifth. The “Nameless” was third, and “Empress” had held iier position in fourth place.

The “Zaim” was nine inches over

length, and was ruled out. On corrected time the “Naim! -s” won first money, “Comet” second, “M. A M. third.

The judges were John H. Belaud, Walter .1. (’lark. ('tmrlpM Ihmmninl Timpr W

worth received fair treatment, and went home well satisfied with the race. The owner of the “Zaitu” was, naturally, dis-

appointed that his yacht should he dis-

qualitied. It is hoped by the yachtsmen of Ells-

worth that this will be the first of a series of regattas to be sailed annually in Union river bay.

Coldcn Wedding. Uapt. John Davis and wife, of Ells-

worth, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage Saturday evening. About thirty old friends of ('apt. and Mrs. Dhvih, many of them life-long ac-

quaintances, were present, and the even-

ing was enjoyed as only such a gathering can enjoy itself.

The occasion partook of the nature of a uouoie anniversary, as me day was Hiso

tile twenty-fifth anniversary of the mar-

riage of Capt. Davis’ son, Frank K. Davis, engineer of the steamer ‘‘City of Bangor”, who, with ins wife, was present.

Capt. Davis and wife received many handsome presents and quantities of beautiful flowers. Frank E. Davis and wife also were remembered.

Capt. Davis and his wife found lively enjoyment in the occasion. They are in the enjoyment of good health for their

years, and to have seen them Saturday evening one would hardly suspect them of having attained the venerable distinc- tion of a golden wedding.

Both Capt. Davis and his wife are natives of Ellsworth, and they were married here. Capt. Davis is seventy-six years of age. He followed ttie sea until fifty years of age. Mrs. Davis, whose maiden name was Eunice Chandler, is sixty-nine years of age. Their children are Frank E., of Bangor. Fred I... of Boston, and Mrs. Elmer E. Howe, of Ells- worth, all of whom were present at the anniversary.

Atlas of the War. A book of special interest just now is a

geographical, pictorial and historical atlas of the Spanish-American war, published by J. R. Spaulding A Co., of Boston.

A representative of the firm, Mr. A.

Norard, has charge of the work in this

section, with headquarters at the Frank- lin house. The hook is admirably gotten

up, and is comprehensive. The maps are

especially good. 1 tie history of the conflict is written by the well-known author, LeKoy Armstrong. There are over 150 illustrations in the work, all drawn from sketches by ttie best artists,and altoget her the book is well worth the moderate price asked for it.

Mr. Norard is making r pt onn' can- vass of t his city.

Drs. Harvard Greely, H. W. Haynes and G. R. Hagerthy have agreed to close their dental rooms evftry Wednesday afttrnoon until further notice.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Topic rot the Week lb-ginning sept. 18.

Comment by Rev. S. H. Doyle. Topic. — “The triumphs of Christianity.”-—

Luke iv,

Christianity is a triumphant religion. Its triumph is prophesied in the Scrip- tures. In the vision of Daniel the stone that represented the kingdom of God

destroyed the other kingdoms. The book of Revelation is a series of visions in each one of which the triumph of the religion of Christ is assured. History corroborates prophecy; Chi ist and Chris- tianity have triumphed in the past over

satan, the grave, tremendous persecu- tions, the heathen Roman empire, the

ignorance and superstition of the dark

ages. It is conquering today material ism, rationalism and heathenism, wher- ! ever found in the world. It went forth

conquering and to conquer, and the day will come when its victory will be com- 1

plete, when “at the named Jesus every knee shall bow * * * and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!”

The topical reference suggests the tri-

umph of Christianity «»ver various things !

in life. It is the record of Christ’s visit j to Nazareth, where He stood up in the ! synagogue and read Isa. lxi, 1. and do- ! dared that in Him t1 is Scripture was j fulfill d. The blessings and triumphs of 1

the year of jubilee are thus typical of 1

the blessings and triumphs of Christian-

ity. They suggest that— 1. Christianity triumphs ov» r aH hu-

man conditions. “He hath anointed me

to preach the gospel to the poor. The

poor specially were benefited in the year of jubilee. They received again the in- heritances of their ancestors, but not at

the expense of the own- rs. They in

reality had only leased them until the

jubilee year. The poor have the gospel preached to them. It i> offered to and needed just as well by the rich. There is no caste system in Christianity. It breaks down the human barriers that

separate men, and rich and poor are one

in Jashs Christ.

2. Christianity triumphs over sor-

rows and htAirtaches. “To heal the broken hearted.” How many hearts must have been broken in Israel by separations and losses of family inherit- ances? But when the year of jubilee was ushered in loved ones were again united, losses were retrieved. Broken hearts were healed. This is the mission of Christianity, to heal the broken hearted, hearts broken by the sorrows

which come from separations, adversi- ties, tribulations and the results of sin. Christ came to heal broken hearts, and He does heal them today.

3. Christianity triumphs over slavery. “To preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of the sight to the blind.” The captives in prisons were

looked upon as blind. Slaves were freed in the year of jubilee. Christianity triumphs over slavery. Ir has abolished slavery throughout the civilized world and is giving men victory over slavish habits of sin and wickedness.

.1 ns glory in such a triumphant re-

li-gi* iii. May the spirit of the Lord rest

upon us and anoint us to proclaim th so

tri... .pliant blessings to a needy world. Bi. Headings.—Ps. ii, 1-12; lxviii,

31 Ixxii. 1-19; Isa. ii. 1-3; Dan. ii. 31-' ; Mic. iv. 1, 2; Math, xiii, 31-23; xxv..i, lb-2u; Mark iv, 30-32; Luke xiii, ib-21; Phil, ii, 1-11 ; Heb. 1, 1-0; Rev. v, 11-14; vi, 1, 2.

The Theological Outlook.

W fear there is nothing cheering in th< : (logical outlook for those alarm- ed;;:. irritated defenders of the ancient order. The reconstruction of theology on the basis of revised and critical r-

views of the Scriptures is bound to go on. The only sane thing for those who feel ;at faith is endangered thereby to do i :u engage with e>|ual earnestness and knowledge in the research, tind and pul h the facts overlooked or sup- pre "d in the interest of revolutionary th- : ies, and thus, by the only effective me:: supply the information on which a v. d view can rest. To answer in- vest ration by hysterics and heresy trial, is as impotent as it is irrational. The sound policy is to meet light with more light.—Universalist Leader.

Today’s Work.

One secret of a sweet and happy Chris- tia?i life is learning to live by the day. It i> the long stretches that tire us. We think we cannot carry this load until we are threescore and ten. We cannot

light this battle continually for half a

century. But really there are no long strut *lies. Life does not come to us all at one time; it comes only a day at a

time. Even tomorrow is never ours un-

til it becomes today, and we have nothing whatever to do with it but to pas? it down a fair and good inheritance iu today’s work well done and today’s lift well lived.—British Weekly.

Loyalty to Our Lord.

It is comparatively easy to stand bj Christ and His words when they are as-

sailed by His enemies, but many find il hard to uphold them when called ii question by brethren whom they lovt and honor, and so indulge a guilty silence or take refuge in a compromis- ing attitude. But loyalty to our Lore requires us to be true to Him and Hi* truth, come what may. He honors anr

rewards fidelity to His word as well iu

to His cause.—Presbyterian.

Church Members.

A church member is or ought to b< what iiis name signifies. A member i: a vital part of our organism. Our hanth ami feet and limbs are members ol tht body. They are not lit parasites and tumors that grow and feed upon tht body but add no strength or complete- ness to it. They aro not ̂ merely on the body, hut are of it. And thus a tru<

hurch member is a vital part of tht church, not merely in it or on it, but ui it.—Lutheran.

THE GOOD OF IT.

[A paper by Mrs. Inez Small, of South Peer

Isle union.] These temperance folks, these white-

ribboners, have been telling you for a

long time that beer, cider, rum, whiskey, and all alcoholic drinks, hard and soft, are very bad things. They would make

you think that old King Alcohol was a

very bad sort of fellow and not good for

anything at all. Now there are two sides to every story—I know lots of things that he is especially good at.

First. There is money getting. No one

can beat King Alcohol at getting money.

Why he will take the last cent a poor drunkard can beg, borrow or steal. It has

been shown by figures that a man may smoke away his thousands in a lifetime, but that is nothing to what this old king will get away from the fellow that drinks, il he has it. No cent w ill burn the pockets of the boy who has an appetite for liquor. The drunkard’s wife wears rags and his

children cry for bread because King Al-

cohol gets all the drunkard’s money. Oh, the old fellow is a good money getter!

Then his perseverance is something wonderful. If he once gets a hold on a

fellow he only lets go when he sees a

c ha ace to get a better hold. The cries of wife and little ones, the entreaties of

friends, the ix>or drunkard’s ow n earnest

desire, often cannot make the old king re-

lease his victim. Oh, his perseverance is

only equalled by that of the prince of all *»vil

Then he is a good health-destroyer. No need to call in the doctor, if you want to lose your health, just follow King Al- cohol a little while, drink his poison, and

you will become pale, puny, blear-eyed, and weak. What if you cannot run or

jump, eat or sleep, if you can crawl around with a cigar in your mouth and drink your glass with the rest of the topers, what more is to be des:red?

Then he is a good mind-destroyer. Some men and some boys are noted for their intellect, their good sense and judg- ment; but these are not the men and boys who loaf round following King Alcohol, for he wi 11 shatter the most brilliant intellect in an incredibly short time, and doctors tell us that more insanitj' is caused by alcohol than by any other thing.

What is there left? The old king has

persevered and got the poor drunkard's money, health and mind. Well, there is character but that soon goes. Sometimes it goes first, and sometimes there is not much to begin with. But whatever he has in that line the old king appropriates. He w ill make the poor victim of his own

1 nppetitg lie, cheat, steal, even commit the awful clime of murder; which reminds me of something else that he is good at.

He is the greatest crime producer the w< rid has ever know n. Our reform schools, jails, penitentiaries and prisons arc rilled with his subjects. If they had been half as faithful to their ow n inter-

ts as they have been to him they would have bet n good, law -abiding citizens.

And the old king is able. He does not need any help to do all these things. Sometimes just at first he has it a little hard to get started in. If he does he calls the tobacco king, and he, with his pipe, his cud and his cigarette, gladly furnishes all tin help he needs.

There may be lots more things that you can think of, but I have said enough to

show just what kind of a king he is. And now how many want to enlist in his ser-

vice, rve him faithfully, and till a drunkard's grave?

SOl’TH DEER ISLE. The W. C. T. U. held a mother’s meet-

i ing at Mrs. Hattie Hendricks’ Wednesday, There was a question box, and as each

question was proposed the president se-

I levied some member to open the discus-

! sion, after which others took part. The questions related to methods of govern- ing children, doubtful methods of pun- ishment, making home attractive to the children, discipline in Sunday school, etc.

“Should children be taught or allowed to take their own part in childish dis-

putes?” was one which readily presented two sides; also whether a child should be punished for a fault into w hich he was led by other children whose parents did nol teach them otherwise. The consensus ol opinion on this was that children should not be allowed to associate with other* w ho would be likely to lead them intc evil.

The discussion of these various questions was very interesting and helpful

Mrs. Mina Sylvester was present as s visitor and she was so interested that sh< thought favorably of accepting the unan irnous invitation given her to join th< union.

A Minister’s Trials.

This narrative from a minister is of greatest value to those whose nerves are unstrung, health shattered or otherwise ailing. It is partieularly appropriate in this age of aetive, nervous, endless labor.

\ve are living too last. ast as lightning,” expresses it, for we talk by electricity, cook by electricity, travel by electricity and so on.

Its a hurry, hurry, hurry from the cradle to the grave.

We crowd too much ; crowd our work, crowd our eating, crowd our pleasure, crowd our sleeping.

A breaking down of the nervous system” is the way of expressing the result.

It means a depleting of the nerves in- duced by prolonged strain; overtaxing of the nervous system; a product of over-

hurry and bustle. It affects all people in all walks of life.

It baffles physicians of all schools. No one knows the horrors of such a

condition be‘.ter than Rev. J. N. Mc- Cready, of Elkton, Mich. For years he labored faithfully and well. He was pro- gressive and aggressive ; a leader among men, a deep thinker and a hard worker.

In his zeal, he overworked; overtaxed his mental and physical strength. The outlook was dark, with health shattered and recovery apparently hopeless.

Many means for a cure were Iried, without receiving benefit.

Finally he took Dr. Williams' Pink Pill* for Pale People and was restored to health.

He says: “In April, 1896, the physicians said I

must stop preaching or die. I had overtaxed myself and was suf-

fering from a complete breaking down of my nervous system and a persistent stomach trouble.

beveral physicians treated me, but no i permanent benefit was derived.

44 Four times I was stricken with nervous ! prostration ; twice with gastritis.

44 These attacks would throw me into 1

spasms. 44 I could cat neither meat or vegetables. I u If my bare feet touched the floor I was j

immediately seized W’lth cramps. ** I was used up; helpless, hopeless. 44 I commenced to take Dr. Williams'

Pink Pills for Pale People. One box was I consumed and I felt no better. This dis- 1 cou raged me.

44 My wife urged me to try the pills some more, feeling that my life depended upon the result.

441 continued to take them. 44 Since then, and it has been several

months, I have cnioyed life. 44 Have preached all summer and held

revival meetings for fifteen weeks. 441 have had no muscular exercise for

years, but recently, have done considerable hard work in my garden, my muscles standing this test remarkably welL

44 Every Sabbath 1 preach three times and now think 1 am good for another twenty years, if the Lora w'ills."

To add weight to his words, Rev. Mc- Cready made affidavit before J. D. Brookes, Notary Public.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People exert a powerful influence in restoring wasted nerve power and in purifying ana

enriching the blood. Druggists consider them the most effective remedy which they dispense.

THE 18TH MAINE. GLORIOUS RECORD OF “THE

MAINE LUMBERMEN”.

HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT THAT

WADED IN BLOOD AND WON

UNDYING FAME.

Without any disparagement of the

many thousands of noble men who have served in the Maine commands, there never left Maine for service at the front a

liner-looking, more stalwart body of men

than the Eighteenth Volunteers, known to fame as the “Maine Lumbermen’s regiment"’, the survivors of which held their reunion in Skowhegan recently.

The men for th^ most part were large, robust looking, some f them middle-

aged, and nearly all luml rmen, enlisted from Bangor and vicinity. One of its staff officers was a son of the then Vice- President Hannibal Hamlin Major Charles Hamlin, of Oriaud. its colonel was Daniel Chaplin, of Bangor, by birth, a Bridgton man, grandson of a Massa- chusetts revolutionary soldier, and as

brave an ollieer as ever drew a sword, who after leading one of the most mem-

orable charges in the annals of war, fell by the bullet of a sharpshooter.

The field, staff and line of the Eigh- teenth Maine regiment—afterwards the First Maine heavy artillery -when it left Maine for Washington was as follows:

Colonel—Daniel Chaplin, of Bangor. Lieut. Colonel—Thomas II. Talbot, of

Major—Charles Hamlin (son of Vice- President Hannibal Hamlin), of Orland.

Adjutant—Russell B. Shepherd, of

Bangor. Quartermaster Horace Pitcher, of

Bangor. Surgeon -Rolheus E. Paine, of Hamp-

den. Assistant Surgeon* Jerome B. Elkin*,

of Ashland, Albert R. Lincoln, of Dcnnys- ville.

Chaplain Harry E. Leonard, of Water- vi lie.

Captains- William C. Clark, of Lincoln, Co. A: Samuel W. Paggott, of Bangor, Co. B; Zimro A. Smith, of Ellsworth, C ». C; Christopher V. Crossman. of Bangor, Co. P; WhitneyS (’lark. »>f Sangerville, Co. E; Lorenzo Hinckley, of Hampden, Co.

F; Samuel A. Colby, of Bueksport, C >. G; Harrison G. Smith, Columbia, Co. H; John W. Atwell, of Oroim, Co. I; George W. Sabine, of East port, ( >. K.

All of the foreg.-big \v tran-forred to the First Maine heavy artillery and there was then added to the roster Capt. Wil- liam T. Parker, of Ellsworth, Co. L, Ezekiel R. Mayo, of Hampden, Co. M.

On Aug. 21, 18(52, tb•• newly-organized Eighteenth wa* must^'ed into the Cnited States service, for three years; and on the 24th it left, in twenty cars, for Washing- ton, a thousand st ong.

The regiment, upon it* arrival at Wash-

ington, was stationed about three miles from Georgetown, its headquarters at Fort Sumner. There it remained until May 14, 1864. Resides being effectively drilled it clear'd more than 3,50 acres

of forest, to give the artillery a longer range; in which work the stalwart down- east lumbermen were adepts. Meanwhile its name was changed to that of the First Maine heavy artillery, and its member-

ship increased by recruits to 1824, com-

fflrfiiral.

WON LASTING FAME.

During the twenty-one months of its stay near Washington the regiment was

without any special history; but after that it made history fast.

Within one month after leaving Fort Sumner the larger part of its officers and

men had been killed, and its living and

dead had won a fame as immortal as that of the heroes of Thermopylae and Bala- klava! In one action alone, that of

O’Hare’s house, near Petersburg, June 18, 1861, of its survivors of the engagements at Spottsylvania, Milford Station, North

j Anna, Hanover Town, Tolopotomy, Cold

Harbor and Petersburg, June 16 and 17, 1 not less than 519 went down, in killed and

1 wounded, a loss of 66 per rent., the larg-

I est loss in a single action of any regiment ! in all that war.

In fact, through all the wars of history there is recorded only a very few instances, in regular battle, of so heavy a loss in a

single charge in proportion to the num-

ber engaged. The regiment’s tlrst baptism of fire was

at Spottsylvania, May 19. In that one

battle 152 were killed, 231 wounded, and two taken prisoners. The heaviest com-

pany loss, that of company E—twenty- four killed, forty-one wounded, and one

taken prisoner; a total of sixty-six. I in its nineteen subsequent engagements I—Milford Station, North Anna, Hanover

Town, Tolopotomy, Cold Harbor, Peters-

burg (three actions), Jerusalem, Plank

Hoad, Deep Bottom, Picket-Line Skirm-

ish, Squirrel Level Hoad, Goyden Hoad, ii'.ij_j l\..» II..I liili'liin’ii Run

Near Five Forks, Sailor's Creek, Farmville —from August 1,1864, to April 7, 1865, its losses swelled the number to a "grand” and sad total of 1,298, of whom 423 were

killed, 810 wounded, and sixty-live taken

prisoners. Besides which, in the entire

period of service, 214 died of disease, six-

orable fact that the losses of the regiment aggregated l,tki3!

THE FATAL CHARGE.

In the fatal charge of the afternoon of

June IS, in which the “Maine Heavies”, won immortality, their task was to carry

Colquitt’s Salient, 500 yards distant, on an

open plain. The movement was ordered

by G n. Birney, in temporary command of Hancock’s corps, and against the earn-

est protest of Gen. Mott, of the Third Hi-

vision. In that charge Col. Chaplin com- j manded the brigade; but when he gave 1

the command: “Charge bayonet, double-I quick march!” his beloved regiment alone

advanced, to fall like leaves under a hail- storm. Within ten minutes only a broken remnant came back leaving two-thirds of

the regiment wounded and dead on the

Held! On the battle-plain that night it was a

literal “bivouac of the dead”. An attempt was made to bring off the wounded; whereupon the enemy opened and con-

tinued a desultory tire so that the humane work had to he discontinued. All night long could be heard groans of the wounded and their cries for help.

Next day the battle continued with in-

creasing fury. And beneath a hot sun, and amid the rattle of musketry and roar-

ing of cannon, rose the cries of the dying and wounded for “water! water!” Alto- gether it was one of the darkest chapters in the annals of war.

RECOLLECTION OF HORRORS.

Says Lieut. John W. Hubbard, then a

private in company G, and in the front rank of the charging battalion:—

“When we had mounted the bank and stated across the plain, I saw the smoke and heard the crack of the first shot, away to our left. Then immediately followed a

discharge along the entire rebel works. All about me officers and men began to

fall, and presently I seemed to be left alone. I then threw myself at full length, face downward, upon the grass. The bullets kept whizzing past me, some of them cutting the grass close by on either side. To lie there meant death; to get up and run seemed scarcely a less deadly alterna- tive. I chose the latter course, and ran

for dear life to the rear, expecting every instant a ball would lay me low. But, strangely enough, I reached our starting- point unhurt.

“Among the twenty-three of my com-

pany who were killed, were Capt. Frederic C. Howes and Lieut. James E. Hall; among the forty-one wounded were Lieuts. James A. Godfrey and Hudson Saunders. This included all our line officers present on the field.

“I can never forget the horror of that night, nor the sad task for which another comrade and I were assigned—to dig a

grave and bury Capt. Howes, whose body had bt en rescued in the night time. His • yes w e wide open and seemed to be

eagerly scanning the enemy. We lined the grave with rough fence boards, wrapped a blanket about him and laid him to rest. He not long after was disin- terred and borne to the Marine burial lot*

“Can you wonder that when the night came again I was well nigh bereft of rea-

son? Or that I still look back to those ex-

periences with a shudder?” COL. CHAPLIN’S DEATH.

Two months from that time gallant Col. Chaplin joined the majority of his men

on death’s muster roll. While out on the picket line, on the north side of Deep Bottom, and, reckless of personal danger, recon noitering the enemy through a Held

glass, the bullets began to come in close

proximity. The vidette nearest him, one

of his own men, Private Vinal Hooper, warned him of his peril, saying: “The

sharpshooters mean you colonel.” But his only response was to remark, gaily: “The bullet to kill me hasn’t been mould- ed yet.” The words were hardly mut- tered when he fell, wounded in the hip.

Col. Chaplin soon passed away. He was

heroic to the end. When being carried from the field he sent this, his last mes-

sage, to his beloved regiment: “Tell the boys to obey orders and never flinch!”

In the possession of his family are three treasured mementos of his services for his country. They are swords-one given him by Gen. A. P. Martin, for his bravery at the battle of Hanover Court House, an-

other, costing £1,000, presented him by the privates and non-commissioned officers of the Second Maine; the third, his own

weapon, disabled by a minie ball in battle. Col. Chaplin came of lighting stock.

His paternal grandfather, John Chaplin, a man of almost giant physique, served in a Massachusetts command in the revolu-

tionary war. He then settled in his na-

tive town Bridgton, w'here he sleeps to-

day, and where Col. Chaplin (son of Ben- jamin Chaplin) was born and reared. Three of Daniel’s brothers also served in the late war, namely: Caleb A., Cyrus and John, in the 12th, 17th and 10th Maine regiments. Cyrus is the only sur-

vivor. The descendants of the revolutionary pioneer are a numerous race, and noted for brains and physical power. One of the sons of Col. Chaplin, Hugh R., of the law firm of Appleton & Chaplin, is one of the leading lawyers of the Penob- scot bar.

Oi l* COl STI*Y ROADS.

We Are Still Far Il«*hin<l European Na- tions In T!iis Kespert.

Although much has been done to improve the condition of the roads on this side of the Atlantic, there is still a great deal to be desired, says the New York Mail and Express. This is made especially manifest when the roads here are

compared with the highways in nearly all the European countries. Were the government of the United States to ex-

pend millions every year it would still be a long while before Undo Sam could rank his roads in the s.une cla.-s with those of John Bull. In addition to the advantages generally recognized as in- separable from good highways, methods of communication would be cheapened and bicycles become an ordinary means

MACADAM HIGHWAY.

of conveyance iu the country as well as

city. Machines driven by electricity would gradually como to supersede the horse. This would require more elevat- ing manual labor in the manufacture of all the machinery needed to replace the horse.

In England, France and Germany the roads already admit of the use of elec- trical vehicles, which are becoming more and more popular each year. In some parts of Germany it is said that farm produce is now being transported on electric wagons. The uso of electricity as a motive power is as yet but im- perfectly understood and the construc- tion of horseless carriages is still in its merest infancy. Great developments may confidently bo expected here in this line, but American ingenuity will bo hampered until highways are con-

structed over which it will bo feasible for such vehicles to travel.

HOAD IMPROVEMENT.

Rules to Observe In Practical Modern Highway Count ruction.

First.—Measure and mark all main roads at tin* end of each mile with permanent stone mile posts from the coun-

ty seat to county line. Crossroads should ! be measured and marked in the same I way.

Second.—Grade all main and important roads.

Third.—Use a good topographical map and make a can ful survey of all roads in tie* county in order to secuiv

the best possible alignment, changing the location of anyroad whoso grad*. can be thus improved without much ex-

pense. Fourth.—Begin no work on a road

unless its width is at least 30 feet. Fifth.—Macadamize the worst stretch-

es of these graded roads, making metal- ed portion from 10 to IK feet wide (about half the width of the roadway). Macad- am should beat least eight inches thick, composed of pieces of hard stone (pref- erably limestone) small enough to pass through a 2 }.2 inch ring.

By such a system of practice all the dirt roads will be soon improved. The macadamized stretches should bring the people to the. conclusion that a road between two places is really not much better than its worst part, and the { eventual piking of the whole road will < be the natural outcome. The rule which ( allows a taxpayer to “work out his tax” should be abolished, for he usually “works out the best parts of the road- 1

way” in so doing.—A. Witherspoon.

Mrs. Gooding—For my part, I can’t un-

lerstand why you desire to associate with ihat Mr. Emptyhead. He is one of the east interesting persons i ever met. Mr.

OBITUARY*

MRS. JENNIE ARCHER ROYAL. Mrs. Jennie Archer Royal, whose death

on Sept. 6 was recorded in The Ameri- can last week, had long been in poor health, yet remained hopeful to the last. She was a true wife, a loving mother, a devoted daughter and kind sister, bringing sunshine and happiness into the lives of those with whom she came in con- tact. She was a devoted member of the Methodist church, adorning her pro- fession by a well-ordered life. None knew her but to love ber. Much sympathy is felt for the lonely companion and t he little one left. A devoted mother, two sisters and three brothers mourn her loss. _

Guam.

the United Mates, which doubtless will be a permanent possession of this country. An age of wonders dawned on Guam, Beneath the touch of Uncle Sam A time of restlessness and light To take the place of peace and night’ Ah, Guam, asleep on the ocean’s breast, Lulled by the soft Pacific into rest. Unending as the sea Is, and as still, Why need you wake* to wonders aud to ill?

You are so very little, Guam, that you Are but a misty speck upon the blue Infinity of earth, and. Guam, Although "tis well t<> i»e of Uncle Sam,

That is not all of peacefulness nor rest, I As you li tvc known them on the gentle brea-t

<*f your Pacific, where through all the years l uu never knew our world of hopes and fears.

| Ah, dear, delicious, distant, doleless isle, j Asleep foi age- where those soft skies smile,

11ow rude would your awakening be I Boused by a new world’s energy!

j Ah, gentle Guam, keep shut those eyes of your-. ( are not for what i-> not upon y ur shores;

! You are so little, Guam, away so far, The busy world might leave you as you are.

A n age of frontiers, sorrow’s, cares, In which each state and nation shares' They call it dawn. Guam, is such light A greater blessing than your night ?

It may be, Guam ; or if it be or not, What harm can be, if only one small spot On all the earth is left still unoppresaec^ Where man may stop and breathe and rest?

Keports from Manila .September 10, -ay that the situation as regards the insur-

gents there is acute, snd a conflict between American and insurgent forces is imminent unless Aguiualdo recedes from the position he has assumed.

The demands of the insurgents are

joint occupation of Manna, and a repre- sentation on the board dictating •-

management. The insurgents, who at tir-t asked independence, are now asking fur reward for the assistance given the Americans. This is the first intimation that they would accept anything I*-" t hati independence, and is construed by on t mean that Aguiualdo Hiid ot:..r

The republican Ueket was generally suc-

t* ful throughout the county. The de- tailed table put .Hhed on this page fur- nifties an interesting study of the losses uid gains of the d fferent candidates.

The two republican senators Hamlin and Grindle vere elected with good majorities.

All the republican candidates for representatives were elected except Tracy in

the Sullivan class, where the fight between towns in the class for the nom-

ination was not forgotten. Bridgham is elected by twenty-five plurality, with-

out plantation No. 8 and 21 heard from. Even if those plantations voted, which is

not certain, r heir entire vote thrown for

Tracy would not overcome Hr idg ham’s plurality.

The representatives elected, with their

plural it ies, are indicated in the table. IN ELLSWORTH.

Ellsworth may claim the banner for

holding up its vote. Though the vote was light, It was larger tliHii that of 1891

by fifteen votes. Hut Ellsworth is entitled to another

banner it is the banner republican town of the county. Comparing the vote for

governor with that of 1891, a republican gain in plurality *,f sixty-llve, and this in spite of the fact that one of the candidates for governor wa>an Ellsworth man, and ran nixie m votes ahead of his ticket in Ills own ward.

Mr. Gerry’s small vote was one of the surprises of the election. His total vote in Ellsworth was 42.

It may he hardly fair to Mr. Gerry to

compare this vote with Bateman’s 191 in

1891, for that year marked the high tide of populism in Maine. Hut compared with 1896, the figures are hut little more

satisfactory to Mr. Gerry. In 1896 Mr. Hateman received 114.

Bateman’s vote in the county in 1894 was 483, and in 1896, 375. Mr. Gerry’s vote in the county was sixty-nine.

VOMNTKF.K All> ASSOCIATION.

Last Meeting Rrlef Sketch and Secre-

tary’s Report. The Inst meeting of the Volunteer aid

association was held at “The Pines” on

Friday afternoon, Sept. 9. Reports of the

| work were read by the secretary and

treasurer, Miss M. A. Greely, and the

closing business was transacted by the

president, after which refreshments were

served on the lawn. The Volunteer aid association was or-

ganized on Thursday, June 30, 1S98, when in response to a general invitation given by Mrs. Hale, fifty-four ladies met at

J “The Pines” for t lie purpose of forming a

society to work for the sick and wounded soldiers and sailors of the American army and navy.

Meetings have been held regularly on

Tuesday and Friday afternoons at Man- ning hall, except on several occasions, when t he association has been invited to “The Pines”.

Funds were needed to carry on the work which the members hoped to accom-

plish, and through the efforts of the finance committee collections were taken in all the churches on Sunday, July 3, while boxes for voluntary contributions were put in conspicuous places; a sub-

scription paper was passed among some

of the business men of the city, Rnd on

Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 17, a concert was given at the “Pines” by Miss Ethel Hyde, Miss Eleanor Hyde and Mr. Arthur Hyde, of Hath, and Miss Mabel Mona-

ghan, of this city. Generous contributions of money and

material from friends of the association swelled the coffers,and the work proceed- ed without hindrance.

The membership steadily increased until 100 names were enrolled. Eighteen regular meetings were held, and four boxes were sent away. Two boxes, tilled with sheets and pillow-cases, for which an urgent appeal had been made, were

sent to Dr. Thomas Claytor, United States

hospital, Tampa, Fla., and two tilled with

garments were sent to Capt. J. H. O’Neill, at Chickamauga park and to Gen. John T. Richards, Camp Powers, Augusta, for the benefit of the Maine soldiers.

The contents of the four boxes wereas follows; 99 pajamas, 130 shirts, 20-1 band-

ages, 208 pillow eases, 188 sheets, 11*5 hand-

kerchiefs, 1 wrapper, 10 pairs socks, 0 dozen towels, 2 quilts, 200 stamped en-

velopes, each containing a sheet of paper, and 1 dozen lead pencils, making a total of 1,278 articles contributed by the association.

In addition to the four boxes a check for £100 was sent to Dr. Calvin DeWitt, United States hospital, Fortress Munroe, and another for £40 to Uapt. O’Neill. All of these contributions have been grate- fully acknowledged. Some money remained in the treasury when the association disbanded, anti this has been deposited in a bank to be used to help the families of the Maine soldiers who have died. The money is in charge of the following committee: Miss Elizabeth True, chairman, Mrs. A. M. Hopkins, Mrs. A. P. Wisvvell, Mrs. J. F. Manning, Mrs. J. A. Peters, jr., Mrs. S. D. Wiggin and Mrs. J. P. Simonton.

The thanks of the association are due all who by contributions or assistance have made possible the work which has been accomplished.

Nervousness Sleepless, Tired and Miserable,

Could Get No Rest —

How This Has All Been Changed by Taking Hood's Sarsapar >a. I have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla ns a

i blood purifier for several years past with most satisfactory results. It always builds up my system by giving me a good appetite. I have been afflicted with nervousness and could not sleep* I had a

tired, miserable feeling and work wns a

burden to me. I had no appetite and no

strength and I could get no rest. I began taking noodrs Sarsaparilla and occasion-

ally used Hood’s Pills. In a short time my nerves were very much improved. I could sleep all night and get up in the morning feeling rested. I could work ail day, had a good appetite and felt like a

new person.” Mrs. James Irish, Stow, Maine. Be sure to get Hood’s, because

Whose limit Is It?' A Local Occurrence that Interests

Many headers in Ellsworth. If, v. ben a fog horn warns the mariner

to sheer off the coast, he still hugs the ; shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault is it? If the red switch-light is up and the ;

engineer deliberately pulls ahead and switch* Into another train, blame the driver. If a careless workman will in spite of .1 uing try to find out how many teeth a buzz saw has, and the saw tries to find out how many fingers the workman

has, blame the workman, not the saw. If a sick man knows that a certain medicine i.i doing him good and he carelessly neglects t > use it, blame the man, not the medirinc If Ellsworth |x*ople who have j kidnev complaint and backache, will not j take I>*».ui\s Kidney Pills when they are indorsed by scores «»f citizens, blame the people, not the endorser. Read this in- dorsement :

Mr. Warren G. Jordan, travelling sales- I man for .J. T. Crippen, Piano, Organ and

Sewing Machine dealer, says: “In tin- fall of '‘.Hi, while making my* regular trip j through Hancork county, I brought up in Mariaviile, with a miserable, aching back. 1

1 A lady living there suggested that I take J Doan's Kidney Pills, saying, ‘They will certainly help you.’ 1 took her advice, j \v hen 1 gut back to Ellsworth, and pro- j cured them at Wiggin’s drug store. 1 had taken "tli r medicines before for the same

complabit, but tli pains and aches in mv back always returned, sometimes much j worse than others. At this time, I had it ! about as uad as I ever had. The jarring I of the huggv hurt me, and I could not I lean against the hack of the seat, my kid- | neys were so sore. 1 brought it on by heavy lifting when delivering instruments and I have had it fur a number of years, often so severe that 1 could not stoop over or lift anything. I had no bother after using Doan’s Kidney Pills and I did as much driving and lifting as ever I did.”

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box, or sent by mail on receipt of price. Foster-Milburii Co., Buffalo, N. Y., Sole agents for the U. S. Remember the name, Doan’s, and take no cther.

The Safety of Railway Travel. Last year on American railways one pas-

senger was killed in accidents out of every 2.827.474 passengers carried. That is to

say, that yon can take a train 2,827,474 times before, on the law of averages, your turn cornea to he killed. You will have to travel 72,093.963 miles on the cars before that turn comes, ai 1.541,9-15 miles before

you are injured, if you travel twenty miles every day for 300 days in the year, you can keep on at it for 758 years before

your turn cornea to be hurt. If there had been railways when Christ

was born, and you had begun to travel on

the first day of the year A. D. 1, and had traveled 100 miles in every day of every month of every year since then, you would still have (in this year 189S) nearly three million miles yet to travel before

your turn came to be killed.

llow Americans Fought. “When we fired a volley,” one of the

prisoners said later, “instead of falling hack they came forward. That is not the

way t fight, to come closer at every vol-

ley.” And so, when instead of retreating on each volley, the Rough Riders rushed at them cheering and filling the hot air

The weather of the last two days of the

the dull wet morning of Wednesday which kept down the attendance on that

day. The attendance of Thursday was

about tilt* same as that of Wednesday, but it was an Ellsworth crowd, compara-

WEDNESDAY.

Wednesday threatened lo be u wet day at the fair, and the blanket of fog, which

| covered everything in the forenoon,

dampen'd the spirit** of fair managers and fair goer*, and doubtless made the attendance much smaller than it otherwise would have httii. By noon, how-

ever, it cleared, and the weather of the afternoon was all that could be desired. The attendance, though large, was not up

BASE BALL.

The has*.- hall game in the afternoon between Ellsworth high and Ch-.-rry Held. was won by the latter. Score 22 to 2.

Only seven innings were played. The visitors had a much stronger nine

than the home team. l'heir battery, Willey ami Sproul, kept the Efjsworth boys guessing. Cherrytield had no

trouble hitting Silvy, and kept the Ells- worth boys chasing the leather all over

the field Brady and James Stcekbridge were behind the bat for Ellsworth.

MINOR RACES.

The in. nor races ami athletic sports on

Wednesday, which were in charge of C. E. Bellatty, resulted as follows:

Potato race— Wilmot Oar.and, first; 1a?-

roy Hart, second; Hoy Redding, third. (>ne hundred-yard dash—Morris Knowi-

tou, first; Edward Robinson, second; Charles Hurley, third.

Imitation wheel-barrow* race— Harry Gerry and Ed. Leslie, first; Frank Mc- Carty and Shirley Moore, second; Eddie Sullivan and Raymond Steel, third.

THE KITE-FLYING, by M.S. Smith, was watched with con-

siderable interest. The tailless diamond and the peculiar box kites were a novelty ito most of the people who saw them. After the kites were up nearly 2,000 feet, an American fiag was sent up on the cord with very pretty effect.

A SIX-YKAB-OLD BICYCLIST.

A feature of the afternoon which ap- pealed to the grand stand was the trick bicycle riding by six-year-old Walter Brown. Walter is the son of Prof. Fred E. Brown, the club swinger, and last year he captured the grand stand by his club- swinging.

THURSDAY.

Thursday was the best day of the fair. The weather was delightful, and the racing was the best of the three days, though all the races, as on the previous days, were decided in straight heats.

In the 2.19 class, the third heat in 2.19V, by Dustmont, broke the race record for the track -2.21 made Isst year by the same horse. There have been faster miles made on the track, but this is the race record. The race with women drivers was the best of the fair.

There were two accidents at the park Thursday, both due to a little bad temper shown by the black stallion Ellsworth, owned by E. H. Greely. In the morning Trainer E. L. Fisher, who has been handling Mr. Greely’s string, was kicked by Ellsworth, and quite badly injured. In the afternoon, F. D. Mills, of Bangor, one of Charles G. Andrews’ stablemen, was kicked by Ellsworth. He was struck on the hip, and received a bad bruise and liesh wound. A collection for his benefit

The base-ha!I game on Thursday be*

jtweiii West Sullivan and KINworth i nines, was the best of the fair, in fact, 'the only r»al*lmrj <f .■■;'! j ty !

in the t hree days. KINworth had a good I lead tarly in the game, but the visitors

pulled it down and the final innings of be game were exciting. KINworth won;

The game was w ell played throughout, hut there was hatting enough to keep alive the interest of the crowd. Willy and Brady were tin* Ellsworth battery, while Sprout and Mattocks took turns

1 pitching and catching for the visitors.

I Some of the features of the game were

i of Ellsworth; a home run by Webb, of West Sullivan, anil three-baggers by Brady and Dunn, of Ellsworth.
