For The Ellsworth Americana
The Kings Daughters Union at Bangor.

We often hear of good work accom-
plished by the orders of Kings Daughters,
but the scene of action is rarely nearer
than the large cities, nor is this strange
when we remember that the order, itself
young, IS yet in its infancy in Maine.
Nevertheless, in our own section of the
State there is fully conceived, well-or-
ganized institution which must surely be
productive of great good. Those who
read the Bangor papers must have seen
frequent calls for meetings of the kings

name implies, is union Of the circles OF

A Woman Suicides i'm Jail for Stealing From
Her Husband.
SHAMoKIN, Dec. 81 Special. 1-Crazed
with her experience of the past year Mrs.
Olean Clito ended her life in horrible
style early this morning in the Sunbury
jail -Four yards of rope she tied around a
steam pipe running along the corridor of
the female department. Then slipping the
moose on her neck she doubled herself in a
heap, and between the rope almost tearing
the neck off and a knot pressing against the
windpipe death ensued before the keepers
were aware of her frightful position. Her
eyes had bulged from their sockets, while
the face was torn beyond recognition,
caused by the long nails of her hands in her
efforts to die more quickly.
She was pretty Australian, and year
ago fell in love with John Druskie He
told her that unless she promised to send a
child by former marriage TO a convent he
would not marry her She rifed his trunk
of S95 and was arrested. She escaped from
court and fled to the mountains. Twenty
four hours of cold and hunger and the desire
to rejoin her child caused her to surrender.
She was to have been tried next week.

full About Thanksgiving Day.
PRINCETON, Dec. 9.-[Speciul. lit now seems
that considerable trouble will be had before
a satisfactory distribution of the receipts
from the Princeton football game
Thanksgiving Day on the grounds of the
Mania ttan Athletic Club will be made. Ac-
cording to the figures of the latter the re-
ceipts were as follows: Grand stand, with
premiums. S. 407 IS: admissions, $l0542 co.;
stand ID, S6,6N 80; boxes, with premiums,
$3.50; tally-ho and coach stalls, $40; tally
no and coach stalls premiums, 1913. Total,
81 s92 25
The tickets sold by Yale made So 45l 90 and
those by Princeton s., 3s9. and the premium
on Yale's sales was Sl,33l. These figures,
added to the gross sales of the Mania ttan
Athletic Club, make the grand total $36, ,063 -.
Yale and Princeton each received 40per cent,
or S14 425 80.
The P7incetonidn prints long editorial this
evening on the dissatisfaction expressed by
Yale in regard to the amount of money hand
ed over by the Manhattan Athletic Club
management to the Yale football manage
ment. The following is portion OF the
editorial: at cannot but be regarded as un-
fortunate that there should be any unseem-
ly wrangle, with charges and counter
charges of fraud, over the money receipts.
That STANDS built to accommodate 30, 900
should be crowded, and yet with the added
number in coaches, on the bluff and around
the field. that the attendance should be less
than q, 900 seems incredible. Etis also an in
evitable result that the wide difference be-
tween the estimated attendance based upon
apparently reliable data before the game
and the official returns should create disap-
pointment and awaken suspicion"
