Easter in Ellsworth.

Easter was observed at all the churches In
Ellsworth Sunday with appropriate sermons
and elaborate floral decorations; some Of them
were decorated with laces. Large congrega-
tons were In attendance.
The Catholic church was very tastefully ar.
ranged. the three affairs being trimmed with
heavy gold lace which was presented for the
occasion by some Of the young people. In the
morning the usual services were held and some
new and very fine Easter music was given.
In the evening Rev. T. +. Buffers sermon WAS
how Easter can be most truly observed and
suitably commemorated.
At the Methodist church there were decora-
lions worthy Of the occasion and the pastor,
the Rev. G. b. Chadwick. preached stirring
Easter sermon replete with thoughts that
breathe and words that burn"
At the Congregational church a special al
traction was the Easter musical concert In the
evening. consisting Of singing and Rotations
by the Sunday school which were exception
ally fine. The subject OF this fine concert was
The Hope OF the Resurrection" In the
morning there was special music by chorus
choir assisted by Miss Mary +. Hopkins. and
fitting and touching sermon by MIR. Yale, the
pastor. The music by Mr.. Boardman Of Ban
gor. on the flute is especially worthy OF men,
ton. All speak OF 1t In the most compliment

very enjoyable. Mr.. Mason In an eloquent

AT the Free Baptist church the Rev. Mr..
Noble preached a strong, earnest sermon in ex-
position Of the significance OF the occasion.
The Unitarian church was very ar,istIcally
decorated with flowers and evergreeDs. The
music which was OF the finest was by a select
choir supplemented in a most acceptable man.
ner by Mr.. Sam Boardmsn on the flute. The
audience was probably the larges, ever seen
In that church on any occasion. Every pew
was full, the gallery was full and settees were
brought up from the vestry and placed In the
large space In the front portion OF the church
These were all filed and a careful estimate
shows that more than 500 people were present
Rev. Cora $. Cochrane preached sn eloquent
and timely sermon, subject: MANY Resur-
rections. one Life" Men, she said, have made
many things, but one man never made any,
thing. All the centuries OF the past. all the
religions Of the world have contributed 10
make Easter what It Is. 1t has reached It's
present high estate through slow process OF
evolution. but ii means more to-day than It
ever meant in the past, Life Is full OF resur-
rectons. whenever new light dswns upon the
soul. whenever new truths come to US and
imfel us to new activity for the good OF our
fellowmen, whenever we see God by virtue
OF purene>s OF the heart we are resurrected
into higher and more exalted life

Annah Hall Shute.

In a sermon on The Shortness of Life the Rev.
Phillips Brooks once said, " = We all know
how this shortness OF life Is bound up with its
fullness. The shortness of life is closely as.
ISOLATED not merely with the greatest hopes Of
the future but with the real vitality of the pres
ent." and so seemed the life of her, who endeared
herself to so many.
Annah S. Hall was born in Ellsworth, Sept. IL
1856, where she attended school. but afterward
she went to Gannetts Institute, Boston. During
one of her vacations she contracted seemingly
slight Illness, the effects of which, however were
always to blight her life. She studied and read
closely, having In her favorite authors as strong
friends as in her personal ones She early made
friends, drawing all to her by frank individual
personality marked by sincerity. anectionate
and kindly judgment.
She married In April, lss0, Arthur Shute of
Boston, and there her early married life was
passed, and two children, Mary L. and Martyr
H., were born long Illness from which she
was only rescued by the best of care and tender.
est love, Frustrated her many months After she
rallied from this, though never to be well, and
soon after the birth of her youngest child, she
returned TO her native home and has since devot-'
ed her life TO the interests OF those who were
nearest and dearest. seeming to realize that her
life work that was ended March %, 1893, might
be short and 1t must be full. Had her years been
three score and ten, they could not have been
more complete In the strong, deep mother love
and firm influences implanted In the lives of her
children which she leaves behind. This same In
fuence she extended no, only to those bound to
her by the strongest ties, but to all that knew
her. keenly alive 10 every Joy and approaching
the beauties of the world "a she saw them, those
to whom any trouble came knew the depth OF
her sympathy, and felt the strength of her hope.

still let her mild rebuking stand
Between US and the wrong
And her dear memory serve to make
Our faith In Goodness strong"

This is the season that we feel the need

The ice Is rapidly breaking up 10 our

Miss Annie Gray is at home for visit.
Frank Crabtree has accepted position

Miss Lillian Crsbtree has been obliged

count of q catarrhal difficulty.
The Christian Endeavor still continues
to maintain its interest. Mention has been
made of disseminating the meetings during
the muddy season; but it Is hoped 1t will
not be done. This is the only religious
service, Sunday school excepted, that we
have this winter and the influence Of these
meetings is needed. The president, Mrs.
NJ. ID. Chatto. was out to the Easter meet
ing although she has not fully recovered
from the effects of her recent illness. Too
much cannot be said in commentator of
the efforts of this worthy lady to carry on
the Christian Endeasor work here. AL
though she has long distance to 60. she
Is usually at her post regardless Of the
condition of the elements. There are too
few Of such workers in every community.

Pain the Teacher.

sorrow, next joy. is what we ough. to pray for,
AS, next to peace. we profit most from pain"
too good for free born American citizens !;
and the pursuit of joy and peace, as the
constituents Of happiness, is one of the
inalienable rights claimed for all men in
the immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence.
Mr.. Henry l.. Weed, of Belfast, Me-,
has had exceptional success in the pur-
suit Of that without which, in general,
neither enjoyment nor happiness is pos
sible,-good health. He is young man
who for thirteen years, had been afflict-
ed with rheumatism, indigestion, and a
cough, which last was so constant and
troublesome, particularly since a severe
attack Of Ia grippe, that he was appre-
hensiye of consumption, members
Of his family having died Of that disease
He suffered almost constantly from rheu-
matlsm, which particularly affected his
right foot, to such an extent that he was
frequently unable to work for days and
even weeks at time. He had been treat
ed by many regular physicians and had
expended a large amount Of money for
various popular patent medicines without
receiving any benefit from either. He
says:
Saturday evening, Jan. 28, last, nv
right foot was so swollen and painful that
could hardly stand upon it; and, on the
recommendation of Mr.. r. Il. Moody,
druggist, Of Belfast, bought of him one
bottle each of Rodolf's Discovery and
Emulsion and commenced their use.
Within "a hours the swelling had subsidized
and the pain ceased, and have not been
troubled with either since. l have not
been free from rheumatism so long at
any time during the past thirteen years.
My stomach trouble has materially i'm
proved and is still improving. My cough
has almost entirely ceased. have now
taken three bottles each of the Discovery
and Emulsion, and am continuing their
use. My general health is much improved
and have increased In weight; my
appetite is better and my capacity for
work much increased. In short, am now
In better health than ever before within
my recollection, and ascribe it altogether
to the wonderfully beneficial effect OF
the truly remarkable remedies Of the
Rodolf Medicine Co. have paid the full
price for all Of these which have taken,
and voluntarily give this testimonial fol

To-day all that is mortal of Mr. Ephraim
Wentworth. one of our elderly and highly
respected citizens, Is laid away to rest, af-
ter years OF bodily infrmities, bravely
borne. An aged companion. two daughters
and son survive to whom their many
friends extend heartfelt sympathy.
few hours after Mr.. Wentworth's de-
mise was reported to us, came the sad in
telligence that DIR. Ephraim 5. Lewis had
closed his life work here and Joined the 81
lent majority. Since an attack of the grip
year ago, the Doctor has been slowly but
surely drifting out from US; though bat
ting the disease intelligently, he mas been
long aware Of the adverse result. Dr.
Lewis has been in practice here for SO
many years that he seemed q native-horn
citizen. His commanding figure made him
/ conspicuous anywhere. while his joyia
nature, social qualities and fund of anec-
dote. attracted to him an audience In any
gathering. For long term Of years he has
made his home at Mrs. II. l.. Smiths.
Link by link this family circle has been
broken until Mrs. Smith alone survives the
pleasant household, her mother dying just
one year ago. The Methodist society loses
a firm friend and supporter in the death Of
the Doctor and everywhere he will be
missed for he had many friends among US
His two brothers from Portsmouth ar
rived short time before his death, one
remaining. who will at close of the funeral
service from the Methodist church. Mon
day afternoon, accompany the remains to
Portsmouth for interment in the family
burial ground.
There is no death. What seems so Is tran
siton;
This lie OF mortal breath
