Owing to the inclement weather, the
play, 1.-THE Turn of the Tide" which was
to have been rendered last Friday evening
by some of our amateurs, was postponed
until Monday evening, at which time it
came of. The weather was extremely
cold, but despite this fact, the company
was greeted by large, intelligent and APP
preciative audience. The evenings pro-
gramme opened with song by quar-
tette composed of Messrs. J. G. Cunning
ham, W. F. Cox, r. NJ. Baker and E. G.
Fiierson, accompanied on the organ by
Miss Virginia Evans. The song is a very
fine one, and was sung in most enchant-
ing manner. This was followed by music
from Trowbrioge's string band, composed
of Sam and Joe Trowbridge, Ben, Joe and
Frank Hughes. Then came the play, and
from its beginning to its close, the audi.
ence seemed more than delighted with the
excellent manner in which it was render
ed, and showed their appreciation by fre-
quent and liberal applause. Our limited
space forbids US mentioning each charac-
ter separately, and were we to attempt it
we fear we could not do some of tho par
ticipants justice. The general verdict is
that it was one of the best entertainments
ever given by our amateurs. Much of the
success of the entertainment is due to the
efforts of Miss Virginia Evans, who man.
aged it throughout, and who makes sue
cess of everything she undertakes. By
special request of a number of ou1 citi-
zens, the play will be repeated next Sat-
urday evening. The admission price will
be only 25 cents, which should insure
good house. Reserved seats without ex
ira charge. Secure your tickets at Orr &
Sloan's.

oRRINcToN's CENTENNIAL
Marked by the Presence of the Cen
tennarian Of the Town.

BANGOR, June 2S-The centennial of the
incorporation of the town of Orrington, the
Oldest in the county, was celebrated today
with elaborate ceremonies. An immense
crowd was present, including absent sons,
daughters, the descendants of early sett-
lsrs and citizens Of Orrington and the sur
rounding towns. The day was fine, and ey-
erything passed off in the best manner. The
presence of Mrs. Ryder, the oldest woman
in the town, If not in New England. was the
marked feature of the day. Mrs. Ryder. who
is 104 years and 6 months old, was intro
duced amid great applause. An historical
address by Col. J. w. Porter, an address by
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, of Bangor, and an
grafton by Rev. Mark Trafton. d. D., of
Boston, were listened to with close attention,
as were the poems by Miss H. g. Rowe, of
Bangor aud Miss Rebecca r. Pierce, of Or
rington, and historical sketches of early
families by various gentlemen. A fine din
ner was served, guns were fired, and there
was game of base ball, with fire works in
the evening. The Bangor band furnished
the music.

bellion one half Of the number liable to SER

On the return Of the ship. the affairs Of the
Portland Whale Fishing Company we're
settled up, some changes made in the conf
pany and the Science was despatched on a
second voyage, but with no better success.
The ship was sold at auction TO Capt. VIM.
Merrill and Capt Caleb Adams. The new
comers took out the ships mizzen mast, re-
placing 1t with that of a bark. The ship
sailed for Mobile under the command Of
Capt Adams. one Of her owners. She went
ia to her old business of freighting cotton
taking a cargo to Liverpool.
When the whaling business was at its
height, in about 1850, a large part Of the
able-bodied men Of Cape Cod, were then, or
had been previously, employed in some Ca
pacity on board of whale ship from their
own Barnstable, or some OF the other whal-
ing ports. At court in Barnstable county,
where Daniel Webster was engaged In a ma
rine, the appearance of the entrance to the
harbor of Owyhee, Sandwich Islands, was
involved. In his charge to the jury the
judge went on to describe from the testi-
m0ny the harb0r's entrance. Some Of the
jury smiled as II they were familiar with the
locality. Webster noticed 1t, and saw a
chance to make point. He interrupted the
judge and mentioned what he saw, express
ing surprise that any Of the jury should show
a knowledge of their own Of the place. He
obtained liberty, and asked any OF the jury
who had seen the place to rise; when seven
rose who had seen 1t often.
From several causes the whale fishery OF
the United States has been falling off for
forty years or more.

him to this test. The votes of his followers
We're, whether by intent or not, carefully dis
tributed, some to vote for him on each ballot,
and others to vote so as to prevent an agree
ment and thus to create irritation and bad
blood. Hereafter in future conventions no
vote should be counted except for persons
openly and frankly announced as candidates.
The theory of the nominations made was
that the doubtful States were to furnish the
candidates, and upon this theory the persons
living in Republican States were discrimina-
ted against, and the New York delegation
practicable dictated both nominations, and
did not consider the vote for any person not
a resident of those States.
ITO this theory the convention unwillingly
yielded. sincerely hope that the election
will show that it is the correct theory. Both
Harrison and Morton are gentlemen of high
character, good Republicans, and ought to be
elected; but whether the theory of their Sc
lection was correct one will be best judged
by the results. l have known Gen. Harrison
intimately for six years. We sat side by side
and / know him to be an able, consistent,
and thorough Republican, and, believe, very
popular in New York. 1t goes without say
ing that l will do all that can to secure their
election. They have been fairly nominated
and are entitled to the support of every hon.
orable man who participated in the conven-
tion, and every Republican who is in favor
of the principles of protection against free
trade, and an honest vote against cheating
and forgery. The campaign will undoubted-
ly be conducted upon high grounds"

The Church not the Enemy of
Democracy.

ROME. June 2S.-The Pope's encyclical on
liberty says: "Human liberty in individ-

the necessity of conforming to the supreme
national law which emenates from God. The
church is not the enemy of honest, legitimate
liberty, but it is the enemy of license. The
church is not an enemy of Democracy. and
rejects no form of government"

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, June 2S.-The re-

the most successful ever held in these waters.
Wind and weather made great racing day.
The start was made at 11.3O. The yachts all
went off prettily. The interest centered in
the Volunteer, Puritan, Kara and Baboon.
The race between the Volunteer and Puritan
was somewhat exciting the first two hours.
Then the Volunteer passed her competitor
and held such a lead that the race was prac-
tically settled. The Kara and Baboon kept
so near together that the race was very ex-
citing.

Disappearance of the MackereI.
belfast Age1

1t is something singular that no mackerel
have appeared in Penobscot bay for the past
three years. What the cause is, no one can
tell. Some say it is the absence of pogies
some say the steamboats, have frighted them
away. But why did the Goldfish and haddock
disappear? Twenty years ago a boat could
be filled with these fish in few hours, near
what is now called the monument now only
few tommy Gods or small pollock, and an
occasional Gunner is fshed up about the
wharves. Well, the most we can say about
changed with the times. But the luscious
salmon still remains; Holsters still are quite
plentiful, and the JUICY clam is still abun-
dant about our shores. Let us be thankful
that so much is left to us, make up our
chowders, and be happy yet.

To the Editor Of the Press:
There comes to my memory one verse each
of two Of the old campaign songs Of 1910, not

Did you ever hear of the farmer,
Whose cabin Is In the West,
OF all the men for President,
The wisest and the best;
To put him in the Capital,
We've found capital way,
o, Wen sing a Harrison song tonight,
And be at his foes by day.

A tear was In his eye,

But Johnny don't you cry"

To the Editor ofthe Press:
was much amused at your republishing
the old time songs Of 1910. well remember
that campaign, being II years of age. l was
a staunch Democrat and did not enthuse
over the Wing songs, Log Cabins and Hard
Cider. But recall the term "Hornby."
which ETHAN Spike" adopted as his hailing
flame afterward. 1t originated in conse-
quence Of hoax played upon the Boston
Atlas, rampant Wing paper, edited by
Col Houghton, who dropped dead the next
summer In Boston. The colonel kept up the
habit Of publishing the names Of "loco fOcos"
who turned Wings. The number was quite
large, and among them was Isaac Dyer and
AZ Others" Some Democratic wag wrote to
the Atlas that 10 loc0s In the little town Of
Hornby, Maine, turned Wings In one day.
The colonel bit at the bait and did not hear
the last of the joke for some time. The
Wings to break the force of the joke took up
the name,and hence Chamberlain 'slpoetry.
