THE BELFAST GAME.

The BELfAbT GAME.
The Portlands have no reason to feel bad over
their defeat at Belfast They tried hard to win but
luck was against them from the beginning of the
game. They hit the ball hard, but unfortunately
for Them there was always a fielder under it, no
less than eight out field catches being made by the
Belfasts. The errors of the Portlands were made in
the most critical parts of the game while the base
hits were made when the bases were empty 1t was
the contrary with the Belfasts. 1t was game
won entirely on errors, neither side getting more
than two singles in one inning.
Moulton of the Saccarappas played first base for
the Belfasts. He was not an improvement over
their regular first baseman.

Death of the Oldest Member of the United
SlafeS Senate.

Death of she Oldest Member of the United
States Senate.
PROVIDENCE, r l., Sept. 2.-United States
Senator Henry B. Anthony died in this city at
40 this Afternoon.
Senator Anthony was born at Coventry, r.
l., April l, 1916, and was therefore in his 10th
year. He graduated at Brown University in
1888: He afterwards became editor of the
Providence Journal, and held an interest in
the paper up to the time of his death. He was
elected Governor of Rhode Island in 1849 as a
Wing, reelected in 1850 and declined re-
electi" n the next year. He was elected United
States Senator from Rhode Island as Union
Republican to succeed Philip Allen, Democrat,
taking his seat in 1859, one year after Senator
Hamlin of Maine entered that body. From
this time until his death Mr.. Anthony has
served continuously in the Senate, and was the
Oldest member of the body in point of service.
He was chosen president pro tempore of the
Senate in 1869 and again in 1871. He was
also nominated for the Senate presidency last
year, but declined in favor of Mr.. Edmunds
His present term would have expired in 1889.
Although Senator Anthony was known to be
in feeble health the news Of his Sudden death
will cause surprise. Not many months ago
he was very low and was thought to be dying
but he rallied and was supposed to be out of
danger, if he had not regained his usual
health. Mr.. Anthony was in more than usual
health yesterday, having spent some hours in
the Journal office and manifesting his usual
cheerful spirits when not oppressed by the
pain and weakness of his chronic disease He
passed comfortable night and took breakfast
about 10 with good appetite. Shortly after
wards he was observed to be growing pale and
was attacked by uremic commissions from
which he did not lrecover and passed away at
1.45

state officers at the funeral and has designated
a committee of the two houses to attend off,
cially Very feeling and sympathetic tributes
of regret and affection have been received
from Senators and others associated with Sem
ator Anthony in his long career of public life.

IemplarS:
Some days remain for the forces of the hour
to prepare for the final struggle of September
Stb. The issue is Of such vital importance to
the civilized world, that nothing must be left
undone, which may be done to insure its sue
cess. The victory will not be won until the
ballots are counted and no efforts must be
relayed until the result is declared. In 1851,
the founders of the order, declared its princi-
pies to be total abstinence for the individual
and prohibition for the State. The constitu-
tional amendment now pending In this State
if carried will place our organic principle in
the organic law of Maine. The world is aware
of the submission of the question of the prac-
ticability of prohibition to the people and the
verdict of the people will be accepted as con-
elusive. To carry the amendment is then of
vital Importance to the Templar hosts in every
part of the world Prohibition is u success Ill
Maine and the amendment will be carried if
the temperance forces do their duty.
the drunkard-makers are active and vigil
liant They are now circulating and having
printed In the papers a. extract from the mes
sage of George w. Click, the liquor Governor
of Kansas, to the effect that constitutional
prohibition is a failure in that State. This
message is an old document and all of it's
statements were long ago proved to be abso-
lutely false. To vitalize it for this campaign
tHo liquor moH udVo prlub6u IL as part OF the
message of Hon. John p. st. John, thereby
making the greatest of prohibition leaders de-
clare against constitutional prohibition of this
Governor st. John says:
New YORK, Aug. 81, 1854.
John B. Finch, r. ":
The extract is from Clicks message. Its state
ments have been again and again shown to be
false. Constitutional prohibition is success in
Kansas, Its success is what makes the liquor men
desire to beat it in Maine Tell Maine workers to
hold the fort. JOHN P. ST. JOHN.
This dishonest publication is sample of
what may be expected from the liquor men
during the last days of this struggle. False
hood, fraud and money will be freely used to
capture this State and again flood it with free
rum To meet this danger every Templar must
be alert and active. Each member of the army
Can certainly give the time from now until
election to this work. Work, talk, reason,
plead, pray, and then on election day labor at
the polls until the votes are counted. The
order expects every Templar in Maine to be
true and work for its principles.

Argument ON Defendants Demurrer
Judge Wood Takes the Matter Uuder,
Amusement

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3.-Argument was
heard today in the United States Court, Judge
Woods presiding, on the demurrer filed by the
sentinel Company to the complaint of James
T. Blaine, charging libel. The attorneys for
the defense contended first that the descrip-
ton OF Mr.. Blaine in the alleged libelous pub
licatlon was not sufficiently specified and might
have referred to some other Blaine. Second,
that the publication was in the nature of an
inquiry. Third, that the article was not libel
GUS in inself and that Mr.. Blaine in order to
recover must sue for social damages.
The attorneys for Mr. Blaine replied briefly.
and Judge Woods took the matter under ad-
visement. 1t Is not Known when his decision
will be given.

An Important Circular.

To all Mariners and OlCners of Vessel Property
IN the First Congressional District of Maine:
When it became known that the Light
House Board had decided to put out some of
the most important lights on the coast of
Maine, and cut down the tower on Portland
Head and reduce the light to the fourth order,
it excited general surprise and indignation.
Petitions and circumstances were sont in, and
influential men used their efforts to have the
order revoked. The Light House Board took
no other notice Of these appeals than to
resent them as an intrusion upon its rights and
an insult to its intelligence. The Judgment Of
those who sail along this coast was not to be
considered in determining what kinds of lights
are most useful and desirable. What they
asked the Light House Board was determined
they should not have
All appeals to the Light House Board hay-
ing failed, our Representative, Hep. Thomas
B. Reed, secured the passage Of a law BY Con-
gress compelling the Board to retain the two
lights at Cape Elizabeth Bat the Board hav-
ing persisted in carrying out its uuwise and
| injurious purpose at Portland Head, Mr. Reed
last winter secured the passage OF another law,
restoring this light to its former height and
power. de did more than his constituents
| asked or expected, for by the last law it is
placed beyond the power of the Light House
Board to ever abolish or change these lights.
Whether man of less prominence and influ-
ence III Congress could have ACCOMPLISHED this
we need not say, but it is certain that no man
| could have done more or better.
1t seems the duty of every one interested in
the security Of life and property on this coast
| to recognize the services OF Mr. Reed in secGr-
ing the defeat Of these schemes plannsd by the
| Light House Board to reduce the efficiency of
| our light house system Mr. Reed is sckuowl-
| edged to be one OF the ablest men in this coun-
| try, man on whom any State would be proud
| to confer her highest honors and we know
| from his past course that any just measure de-
signed to hslp the coasting or fishing interests
of this State will find in him an intelligent.
| willing and powerful friend.
We are convinced thst these important inter
ests are safer in his hands than in those of any
new man who can he sent 10 Congress from
| this district and we appeal 70 mariners, fish
ermen and all intarestad in the prosperity of
cur ooastlng trade, 10 give him STRONG AND
HEARTY SUPPORT We owe him debt OF graf
itude and we ought to be- prompt to recognize
| it AT THIS TINE.
Inc election for Congressman will be on the
otn oil September. All voters in this district
who appreciate Mr.. Reeds service in Congress
should make their arrangements 70 be at home
