abrupt end by the rain. The mines lined

Thomas Sweeney, H. Haynes.
Halpin was captain Of the picked nine

Four interesting innings were played,
and the game promised to be we'll con-
tested. In the first inning the Ellsworths
made two runs and followed this up with
three in the second. In the two succeed
ing innings they were shut out. The
picked nine made one run in the third
inning and were shut out the other three
innings Thus the game at the end of
the fourth inning stood Ellsworth five,

AGAIN DEFEAT.
ELLSWORTHS DONE UP BY THE
CHERRYFIELDS AT FRANKLIN.
RAIN SP0iLS SATURDAYS GAME
CHANGES IN ELISWORTH'S TEAM
GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND.

At the request OF the Cherryheld base
team from hat place and the Ellsworths
WAS played on the Franklin grounds last
Thursday.
The grounds at Franklin are located
cut of the village TO the eastward about
a mile, and are in most excellent shape.
Evidently the people OF Franklin believe
in their ball team AT any rate they have
given it every facility for playing good
ball. and it is no wonder that the Cherry
fields wished to meet their opponents on
SO good diamond.
The game WAS called at :. 80, the Cherry
fields at the bat. A good-sized crowd
was present, and it was evident from the
start hat the sympathy OF the spectators
WAS with the down-east visitors. The
game WAS again given away by Ellsworth
in one inning. In this instance it WAS
the ninth, when nine runs were scored
on as many errors. after two men had
been put out.
The Cherryfield team had among them
a player from Bar Harbor, another from
Franklin, and still snother-s student Of
the East Maine Conference seminary at
Bucksport Ellis, pitcher with a pecu
liar but very effective style OF pitching;
he i also the hardest hitter of the nine.
The Ellsworths were minus their first
basemaH, Weeks. who is visiting friends
short stop has proved him TO be dis
tinct addition to the team.
From the start to the end of the eight
inning good work was done by both
teams, and up to that point it was any
hody's game. At that point the score
stood to g and the Ellswort MS went 10
the bat. Two flies We're popped to centre
field, and both We're caught by Stuart,
one being pretty one handed catch after
a hard run.
With two men out, the agony began.
Ellsworth went all to pieces and the
most unaccouutsble errors were made.
The story is too mournful to tell in de-
tail; the result is sufficiently narrowing.
1t is enough to say that before that third
man WAS put out series OF runs was
made that finally footed up II.
The Ellsworths then went to the bat
and succeeded in running in three scores
and thus ended the game-2l to y in
favor OF the Cherrytields.
The features We're Ellis good game,
stuart great improvement, and he lack
of heavy hitting on both sides.
Two umpires were deemed necessary,
and the two selected We're l.. c. Bragdon,
of Franklin, for Cherryfield, and David
c. Jarvis, for Ellsworth. Following is
the score:

HASl<AM-hAN E1.
a pretty wedding occurred at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs NJ. D. Haslam, of Els

A small company OF relatives and

As the evening approached the com

THAT BlrCKSPORT BUG.
Feared II Was the Dreaded Gypsy
Moth, but It's Not.

The Bangor Commercials Bucksport
correspondent writes that strange look
ing insect has made its appearance in
town; and is preying to great extent
upon the foliage OF the beautiful maple
trees in that village. He does not wish to
cause unneo sssary alarm. but fears it may
/ be the terrible gypsy moth for which the
. legislature OF Massac husetts appropriated
/ 800. 900 last winter towards destroying in
half dozen towns in that common
wealth.
He says there are hundreds OF them
/ about the trees and already a countless
/ mum Der ct small holes have been bored in
T to the trees and from many OF them the
tails OF the insects can be seen protrud-
I ing. The insect" says cur correspon-
dent, resembles what is known as the
devils darning needle with the larger
/ ones having three horse hair-like tails
about four inches long.
Bucksport readers may rest assured this
i is not the gypsy moth, the eorrespon-
dents description allaying all fears in
( this direction. The real gypsy moth does
not bore holes in trees nor does il re-
semble the dragon fly any more than a
COW does Penobscot river salmon,
There is no doubt whatever, that the
holes were in the trees before the insects
made their appearance, and such insects
as he hes described could not bore them
any more than Il boy could shoot peas
through the sides OF the Ammcn ram.
1t is hoped the gypsy moth may never
visit Maine. As long ago as isa3, how
ever, it was thought to have been in this
State, At least such a report was sent by
some one 10 the government entomolegist
at Washington, who, in publishing the
notice, snid This Is not unexpected
but needs yerlcatiou.
OF one thing the Buckspert eorresPon
dent may be assured II the gypsy mot
should visit that town it would first
select the apple tree foliage on which to
feed. as that is It's first choice OF food
Then, when the apple tree leaves are all
eaten up, it goes next FOR the maple, aud
even pine almost without discrimination,

SUDDEN DEATH OF CAPT. f. H. sPURLING.
Early Thursday morning. June s, the
schooner "Rozella" arrived in Spurling's
Cove, bringing the dead body of the
captain, Edwin II. Squirting, who had
died off Bakers Island an hour previous.
The remains were taken to the store
of Charles E. Squirting. Dir. Sawyer
was Immediately summoned, and pro-
nounced death due to heart failure com
plieated with acute pneumonia.
The remains were conveyed to the
home he had left only the previous
Saturday in the full strength OF man
hood.
Capt. Squirting had suffered With bad
cold for two days before he died, but he
kept about his work, and none OF the
crew considered him seriously i'll until
a few hours before he died. They sug
gested that they had better carry him
home, but he would not consent to 1t
until at midnight, when he told them
they might weigh anchor and go home
pipe, and gave instructions as to the sail
ing OF the vessel. At 4 o'clock he was
asked by one of his crew how he felt, and
replied that he felt better and WAS going
to sleep. Shortly afterward another one
spoke to him, but received no reply, and
thinking him asleep, did not say more.
At 5 O'Clock another went and spoke to
him, and receiving no reply, looked more
closely and saw that he was dead.
Capt. Squirting was thirty-four years
of age He was a smart, enterprising
man, loved and respected by ali with
whom he became acquainted. His young
wife and enyear-od son have the sym
patty of the whole community in their
great and sore bereavement. He was
the youngest son Of the late Robert and
Lucy Ann Squirting, and leaves one
brother and three sisters, besides other
relatives, to mourn his loss.
1t seems hard that one who bid fair to
be an honor to friends and the com
munity should be taken thus. while
others who are, or seem to be, only a
burden to themselves and others, useless
cumberers OF the EARTH are permitted to
live on. But we must bow i'll humble
submission to the Will Of One wiser and
mightier than We, and try to be recon-
ciled and say, Gle doeth all things we'll. -
one by one earth,s ties are broken,
And our love decay,
And the hopes SO fondly cherished
Brighten but to pass away.
one by one our hopes grow brighter
As we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS.
At a stated conFoeation Of Mt. kebo
Royal Arch Chapter. of Bar Harbor, held
June :, the following memorial was
adopted:
The members OF this chapter wish to
express in fitting words their sincere
grief at the loss of their friend and COM
panion, the late John T, Higgins. This
chapter considers il an honor to have
had enrolled among Its nembe the
name OF one who in so short a time
achieved SO much of success; and whose
example may well be emulated by the
younger, as it is admired by the older,
mem bers of this order.
We call to mind the fact that his was
self-earned education, and that, with
industry and perseverance, without
wealth or influence, he won position in
this county second to none; this posi-
ton was attained by ability in his work,
by thorough knowledge OF his pro-
fession, and by integrity in practicing it.
1t was with qualification that we wit
messed the success of these efforts, and
it is now with deep sorrow that we see a
life SO promising ended in its early
prime.
We call to mind the fact that when it
was evident to all that his lease of life
was short, that death had one hand al
ready resting heavily on his shoulder, our
brother still labored on, hoping to &C
compIish as much as possible for the dear
ones so dependent upon him, and dis
playing bravery through it all that few
OF US can understand, though all must ad-
mire.
To the wife and her little son we ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy, and a hope
that the loving fortitude with which she
has met every adversely may not desert
her in passing through this trying ordeal.
With the her, mother and sister, we
wish to sympathize in their sad mourn
ing, for the loss of a son and brother
whom they have watched through his
short life with such tender care, and of
whose attainments and loving kindness
they were so justly proud.
In order to perpetuate the memory of
our companion, the chapter will place
this memorial upon its records, and have
it published in THE ELLSWORTH AMERI-
CAN and Bar Harbor Record, and send
copies to the family of our beloved friend
and brother, and have the altar and other
stations of the chapter draped in mourn
ing for thirty days.

DEATH OF MISS LIZZIE s. HAYNES

y
Miss Lizzie S. Haynes died at the home
Of her brother, Capt. Melvin D. Haynes,
last Friday night. Miss Haynes has been
in failing health for long time, and was
fully prepared for the end.
For the last few years she has made her
home with her brother, and since the
death of his wife has had charge of his
household, and felt all a mothers cares
and anxieties for the five motherless
children now for the second time bereft
of a mot hers tender love and care.
The two surviving brothers, Melvin
Haynes, with whom she resided, and Wes-
ley Haynes, of Eden, and one sister, Mrs
Irene Richardson, of Lowell, Mass, were
present at the funeral. Another sister,
Mrs. Olive Martin, of Chicago, was
unable to be present.
The large number of friends who as
sembled to pay their last sad tribute
showed the high esteem in which she was
held by all. Rev. Mr.. Wharf made some
very comforting remarks. He spoke of
her answering faith in her Saviour,
and of her earnestness to do good in
every way which she could. All joined
with Mr.. Wharf in saying "She hath
done all she could" JUNE.

make some very cheap talk about the
affair, and the facts may as well be stated,
Ellsworth was invited to play at
Franklin, and accepted the invitation
On arriving at Franklin the captain OF
the Ellsworths stated 10 the Franklin
men that under no conditions would
they play if the umpire who presided
over a previous Ellswort h Franklin game
was insisted upon. The reason was hat.
in the unanimous opinion Of the Els
wort boys, this man either didn't know
the game, or else purposely roasted
them in the previous game. 1t Is the
custom that the home team select the
umpire; there IS no rule governing the
case 1t is, to say the least, courtesy for
the home club to select an umpire not
obnoxious to the visiting club
In this case the Ellsworth boys said
they would assent to any other person
the Franklins might select except the one
in question.
After the boys got on the field and
found that the unsatisfactory umpire
had been selected they declined to play.
They were told that II they didn't choose
to play with him they could go home.
They went.
After returning to the hotel and chang
ing their clot hes they We're informed that
another umpire had been found, and were
asked to go back to the ground, a mile
away, and play. They declined.
In their refusal to play with the obnoX-
ious umpire the manager of the Ellswort h
team upholds them.
The talk about the Ellswort hs being
afraid to play the Frankiins is silly in
the extreme, and the writer is glad to be
able to state that il does not come eithe
from the gentlemsnly manager OF the
Franklin team or from any OF the players.
