That winter underwear did seem little
uncomfortable last week, didn't it? But
how about this week? Maine is certainly
jeopardizing its reputation for being the
land OF steady climate. Extremes are
expected in other parts of the country,
but not here. 1t is not surprising to
read in letter from MIR. Titus, of THE

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
ABSOLUTELY PURE.
FRESHMEN VS.. BLUEHILLs.

FRESHMEN VS.. BLUEHILLS.
The school is highly eIated by the
victory Of the freshmen nine at BluehilI
last Friday afternoon.
The pluck of our young ball players
should be admired when they (some of
them still in short pants) accepted the
challenge sent them by the Bluehill
academy nine, some Of whose players are
young men, and went to Blaehill to play.
Many outside the nine went over in
buck boards, on bicycles, in teams, and
number in a sail boat, so that our boys
had quite crowd to encourage them.
In the first inning the home nine
scored twice and the visitors none, but
at the end of the seventh inning honors
were even, each side having scored eight
runs.
Not until the ninth inning did our
freshmen nine gain the lead, but it
counted just the same, and when the
game was over the freshmen were the
victors by a score of Is to 9.
The great work of our rising young
pitcher, George Dunn, and the manner in
which Higgins stopped the ball at first
base were the features of the game.
E. F. Murch and H. H. Clark were with
Rev. D. l.. Yale at Sout Invest Harbor last
Friday.
E. F. Murch, c. r. Thomas, II. H.
Clark, and H. J. Silvy were down river
Saturday, with Mrs. L. A. Emery's party,
given in honor of Miss Lulu A. Blake.
c. f. Bellatty, '96, has been obliged to
leave school on account of poor health.
He is president of his class and president
of the school lyceum. He will be greatly
missed.
Miss Lulu A. Blake, of Dalton, Ga,
who has been spending the winter with
Mrs L. A. Emery and has been studying
some at the high school, has returned to
her home in the south.
The first high school team, composed of
Mason, Clark, Thomas, Silvy, Doyle,
Chase, Mckenzie, Crabtree, Holmes,
Latin, Woodward and Dunn, Will go to
Bar Harbor Saturday, to play the nigh
school nine there. Probably a large
crowd of young ladies will go to
encourage them to victory.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFRAY.
between Colin Mckenzie
and j H. BreSnahan.

and J. II. BreSnahan.
An alteration took place about
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon in front OF
Coombs' store, at the corner of Main and
State streets, between Colin Mckenzie
and John II. Bresnahan.
1t resulted in McKenzie's being carried
insensible to DIR. Hagerthy's Office, where,
upon examination it was found that the
upper lip was cut clean through, the nose
slightly fractured, confusion on the
forehead, and bad cut in the back of the
stone.
Mckenzie bears Bresnahan grudge,
and does not fail to give expression to 1t
in more or less offensive way whenever
the men meet. The trouble arose over
some differences occurring in court some
time ago. On previous occasion Nc
Kenzie received rough handling at Bres-
nahan's hands, and the memory OF this
probably heightened the feeling against
him.
From eye-witnesses Of Tuesdays fracas,
it appears that Bresnahan was about en-
tering Coombs' store when Mckenzie
made offensive remarks loud enough for
Bresnahan to hear, and evidently in
tended for him.
On reappearing from the store, these
remarks were repeated in still more
offensive way, and opprobrious epithets
used. This was more than Bresnahan
could stand, and he struck Mckenzie.
The punishment received rendered him
insensible, and, as stated above, he was
carried to the physicians office
Later in the day warrant was issued
for Mr.. Bresnahan's arrest. He was
taken before a bail commissioner, and
gave bonds in the sum of $500. His
bondsmen are c. c. Burrill and George H
Grant. Judge Dutton being out of town
the trial has not yet taken place.

Capt. William Freethy, about whom SO

He thinks this will be his last long

The committee appointed by the church
has about completed arrangements for the
celebration of the organization of the
Union church here. 1t will take place
next week on Tuesday evening, " hen the
church will have "attained its ma jority,"
/ being then twenty -one years old.
Besides the members, there will be in
vited the Christian Endeavor society,
en- n,aSSe, and the ladies' sewing society
with their hus bands. These two organi-
cations are closely united with the
church, the latter for years having helped
in various ways to support religious work
here and having done almost all the re-
pairing and embellishing of the hall.
Inasmueh as the people could not have
extended to them general invitation on
account of lack of room, it was thought
best to invite these two societies rep
resenting the community.
| The exercises will include a history of
the work for many years back to the

which each one is expected to respond
with a scriptural quotation, giving his

The members of this fraternity are
making preparations for a vigorous
campaign this fall. The oppressive
heat always has a "lassitudinarious"
effect upon verybody-workers as
well as drones. Those having the good
of the order at heart are devising ways
and means for entertaining during the
long evenings, under the usual head in
the order of business, and members
anticipate thereby increased interest,
and consequently better attendances at
meetings, thus promoting enthusiasm
which will lead to a desire to increase
the membership rolls.
The Select Knights legion of this city
have decided upon an outing to the
neighboring town of BountifuI tomor-
row tuesday evening, where they an
tlc1pate having a reunion with the
members of the order and their friends
there. 4 ball and brief literary pro-
gramme. with watermelons and season
able fruit, fraternal chat, sociable con-
versation and general jollification on
the side, will pleasantly pass away a
few hours and give all an opportunity
of extending old acquaintances and
forming new ones. It is expected that
the A. 0. U. W. and D. of H. generally
throughout the city will participate in
the good time and things.
Among the recent accessions to the
ranks of this order was a notable one,
which should be generally known, par
ticularly at this time. 1t was Fisher S.
Harris, the noted and respected, born
and bred Democrat and nominee of
his party for the position of secretary
of state, (Which, by the way. he will
undoubtedly be elected to). He was

in each lodge every other meeting.
The Degree of Honor flourishes right
along and has applications and initia-
tons at every meeting. This is as it
should be until all good Workmen and
their wives, mothers. sisters and sons
belong to that excellent auxiliary of

of knights of Pythias was neither pro-
posed nor organized with a view to
make money for anybody, except it be
for those who through it's system are
enabled to obtain their insurance at
less than half of what they would
otherwise have to pay to old line COM
panies. Neither to the Supreme lodge
nor to anyone connected with the En-
dowment Rank, has the insurance
branch been a source of profit. None
of the moneys that come into the
treasury of the Endowment Rank are
handled, used or appropriated by the

The Orders History From 1920 TO
1898.
The yicissitudes of Odd Fellowship
in America from 1925 down to the end
of the war in 1865 were many Inc Or
der passed through many trials, and
While it progressed materially at times
it refrigerated, partly from outside IN
fluences and partly from dissenSlons
within itself. Thomas Wildey, how
ever, was continually at the helm, ana
with the active support Of those VINO
occupied the first offices throughout
the country, all material difficulties
had been overcome prior to his death
in 1851, at which time the fraternity
was so strong that all doubts as to It's
value as factor in Americas social
science had been removed.
The grand lodge of the United States
organized January Is, 1926, held its first
annual communication on February %
following, adjourning to March 80,
Thomas Wildey being the first grand
sire from 1926 to 1929, when the reports
showed four grand and nine subordin-
ate lodges.
The order now stepped out in adj
vance of nearly all social organiza-
lions of that period. by deciding that
in no case should any liquid refresh
ments except water be served in the
lodge rooms.
In October, 1926, the grand charter
from the Manchester unity was re-
ceived and accepted. That instrument
in it's wording doth also hereby grant,
authorize and empower the grand sire,
deputy grand sire, representatives and
proxies of the grand lodge of the Uni
ted States of America, to conduct the
business of Odd Fellowship, without
the interference of any other country,
so long as the same is administered
according to the principles and purity
of Odd Fellowship"
In the year 1897 the order had more
than doubled in strength, nineteen
subordinates being reported. two of
which were in the District of Column
bia. The year 1929 witnessed the re-
fusal of Strangers Refuge lodge of
New York to obey the decisions of the
grand lodge of that state, and the ex-
pulsion, of that lodge for insubordina-
ton. The. expelled lodge applied to

The Odd Fellows are pursuing the
even tenor of their way, quietly and
serenely. Additions to the ranks are
being steadily made, and everything
bespeaks a healthy increase through
out the jurisdiction.
1t is expected that the advance re-
ports from the sovereign grand lodge
will be at hand the latter part of the
week, digest of which will appear
in this column when forthcoming.
Mystic lodge No. 90 commenced the
week with an application for member
ship and a we'll attended meeting. To-
night the lodge will have a full house.
The committee on revision of bylaws
will report, when several important
amendments will be discussed.

to make a novel. The lodge, never

talks from many visitors, and their

The expression the last button on Gabe' S

denominated them Yankees but a

this was probably born of an Old Donin-
