never lower the price Of brains.

leas flowers if not fruit. Let every

The Late ErastuS Redman.

At the county conference of Congrega-
tional churches held at Southwest Harbor
last week. Oct. 8 and 6, the following
resolutions. in memory of the late Erastus
Redman, We're adopted:
Whereas God, in His providence, has, on the
22d of August, 1884 and since our last meeting,
called from US to the heavenly communion, our
late brother and fellow .laborer, Deacon Erastus
Redman, of Ellsworth, therefore
ResoIred, That we, representatives of the
Congregational churches in Hancock county, in
conference assembled, hereby record
l. That while we bow submissiyely to the
divine will in the case, fell deeply the loss to
the conference and the cause of the Master
within our borders, in the death of Deacon
Redman, whereby his faithful attendance, his
wise counsel, and his earnest prayers and
efforts for the welfare of the churches for more
than quarter of century, have come to an end.
,. That while we record our deep sense of
personal and fraterna loss in his being taken
away, yet we gratefully recall his life of devo.
ton and usefulness, and honor his fragrant
memory.
3 That we extend to our sister church in
Ellsworth and to the bercaved family of our
late brother, our deepest sympathy with them
in their bereavement
l. That these resolutions he entered upon
our conference records, published in the Ellis
worth papers, and a copy be sent to the church
and family OF the deceased.

Miss McCobb's Reading.

Last Thursday evening, at the Congre-
gational vestry, Miss Mary McCobb, of
Portland, read Shakespeare's "a Mid
summer Nights Dream"
Miss McCobb is not stranger to an
Ellsworth audience. Twice last year her
presence graced an Ellsworth stage-once
when she read 1.-The Merchant of Venice" :"
and again as the irrepressible Mrs Jar
ley"
The audience is at once at home with
Miss McCobb; this is doubtless due to
her ease of manner and charming per-
sonality In rendering "a Midsummer
Nights Dream she prefaeed the reading
with brief but lucid and comprehensive
summary of the play. For one person to
assume so many and such strikingly diff
ferent characters is no easy task, but one
which the reader set for herself and per-
formed with remarka bile skill.

A MAN OF IDEAS.
An Ellsworth Merchant who was
Equal to an Emergency.

Equal to an Emergency.
The story of little comedy in which
dignified merchant of this city figures as
the principal actor, comes to the ears OF
THE AMERICAN reporter.
One day this week Mrs. Blank (as she
will here be called for convenience care
fully locked all the doors and windows of
the house and went out for the afternoon
Returning with her hus sband in time for
supper, she discovered that she had lost
her key. Here was a predicament-lock-
ed out of ones own house. 1t was noces-
sary to turn house breakers, and Mr. and
a means of entrance.
At last! An idea! The cellar window:
that's seldom locked. The window was
examined. Sure enough, it was un-
fastened. Here was way out of the
difficulty. Once inside the cellar it would
be an easy matter to climb the stairs and
open the doors from the inside
The window was opened. 1t only re-
manned for Mr.. Blank to crawl in and do
the rest. But suddenly another obstacle
presented itself. Mr.. Blank glanced at
the narrow aperture, half filed with dust
and cobwebs, then down at his less
black suit.
"No, Maria; this'll never do ! won't
ruin this suit if have to go without my
supper and stay out all night
The problem seemed still harder to
solve than before. The last resort had
failed Suddenly Mr.. Blanks face
brig ghtened. Another idea He glanced
fnrtiyefy up and down the street and at
the windows of the neigh boring houses.
Then he walked to the rear piazza and
concealed himself behind the handle of
broom
Two minutes later he emerged IN
costume that would he more seas0uable
N July than October. But he did not
tarry long enough to feel the cold He
did not even stop to see if anyone was
looking, but dove for that cellar window
and went into it like rabblt-a v mite
ratbit-into its burrow
moment later the door was onened
from the inside, Mrs. Blank gathered up
the suit that had been saved, and entered
the house.
At the supper table half an hour later
Mr.. Blank said; "Maria, don't you ever
say word about this"
And Maria promised
