Secretary Blaine Thinks No Extra Call for
One Is Necessary.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Sherman
to-day presented to the Senate letter from
Secretary Blaine in regard to resolutions in
troduced in the Senate providing for issuing
invitations to foreign governments to send
representatives to meet at Chicago during
the Worlds Columbian Exposition for the
purpose of taking measures to promote the
cause of peace and the settlement OF national
differences by arbitration.
The Secretary fails to perceive the neces-
sity for the passage of either of the resolu-
tions referred to, since their object seems
possible of Accomplishment without that
formality-the Presidents invitation to
foreign governments to participate in the
Worlds Columbian Exposition being accom-
panied by the prospectus of tho Worlds
Congress auxiliary which proposed. among
other Things, IL Worlds Congress similar to
that set forth in the resolution.

Obituary.
George Cunningham.

George Cunningham, who died in this city,
the 9th instant. was born in Montville Maine,
in September. 1919, but when he was two
years OF age his parents moved to the neigh
boring town OF Sw2nville. where he was
reared. His grandfather was Major Cunning
ham one Of the first settlers of Belfast; and
his father. Solomon Cunningham. George
Cunningham was one of family of three
children, two boys and girl; the brother and
sister both died previous to the demise OF the
subject OF this notice.
Mr. Cunningham first settled in Searsport.
Maine. He came to Ellsworth in 1850 and
continued to be = resident of this city up to
the time Of his death. For many years he was
engaged in the furniture and undertaken busi-
ness. and during part Of that time was asso-
ciated with \. W. Cushman. under the firm
name of Cunningham & Cusbman.
Four years ago he had n fall which resulted
in fracture OF the hip and probably in inter-
nal injuries from which he never recovered.
At any rate that fall was the beginning of. his
physical decline.
He was an unostentatiOus man who thought
much, but said comparatively little, and his
life was perhaps quiet and uneventful; but be
was man of real, practical worth. whose
example and character were worthy of imita-
tion-a man who was much liked, against
whom we never heard spoken an evil
word. In short, he was q good man, good
neighbor, good citizen and best Of all good
husband and father.
Mr.. Cunningham was valued member of
Esoteric Lodge of Masons and of Lejok Lodge
Of Odd Fellows In this city. He was also
member of ST. John Commandery of Bangor.
He threw In 1870 his first vote for VIM. II.
Harrison for President, and his last vote for
President for the grandson, Benjamin Har-
rtson.
He leaves widow and one son, Hon. Oscar
P. Cunningham Of Bucksport, Judge Of Pro-
bate for this county.
Here in the quiet earth, they laid apart
No man of iron mould and bloody hands,
Who sought to wreak upon the covering lands
The passions that consumed his restless heart,
Timidly shrinking from the breath of blame;
One in whose eyes the smile of kindness made
Its haunt, like flowers by sunny brooks in May,
Yet at the thought of others pain, shade
OF sweeter sadness chased the smile away"
