Waldo County Christian Endeavorers.

About $50 Christian Endeavorers gathered
at Morrill, June 2nd for the semi-annual
meeting of the County c, E. Union. 1t was
the largest and one of the most helpful
meetings in the history of the Union. The
Morrill, people spared no pains in their prep
arations for the meeting and contributed not
a little to its success. The members OF the
Junior G. E. Society deserve special men
ton, for they decorated the church and We're
on hand all day, quick to notice and supply
the wants of the guests.
The word practical characterized the con-
vention from beginning to end. In the
opening devotional service, MIR. nj. A.
Farren, who is supplying the church at
North Belfast, directed curt thoughts in
helpful way to the words: "Whatsoever he
saith unto you, do it" and those words fur
nlshed the key note for the day.
After Mr.. Joseph O. Whitcomb had voiced
the welcome of the Morrill, people, Mr..
Willis S. Hatch of North Belfast discussed
the attitude of the church toward the c. E.
society. He answered clearly the objections
sometimes raised to the society and express
~
sumed by many in the early history of the
movement had changed, that the church had
come to recognize the society as helpful
part of itself and in no sense a rival to it.
The sermon of Rev. II. l. Holt from the
9th and Goth verses of the 22nd chapter of
Matthew was an earnest plea for a whole
hearted conservation to God, for the same
spirit of love hot OH EhrSt's ifa
to rule over our lives.
The P. NJ session was devoted to the dis
cussion of topics of practical value to the
members of c. Z. societies. Mr.. G. S. Adams
Of South Montville spoke of many ways in
which the G. E. society can help the Sunday
school. He emphasized the fact that every
member OF our c. E. societies should be in
the Sunday school and at work in it, aud
spoke Of the great work that might be done
by the young people in organizing Sunday
schools in the country districts.
The paper Of Miss Sarah L. Pierce of
Frankfort told of the limitations and the
possibilities Of the Z. Z. prayer meeting Of
the average village society
The subject Of systematic and proportion
ate giving was admirably treated by Mrs.
George S. Mills Of Belfast; and, as result
Of it, we feel that much money ought to 60
regularly into Our missionary treasures.
Rev. W \. Thomas, pastor Of tile Bates
Street Baptist church, Lewiston, delivered
the evening address. Ills subject was Chris
tan Specialists We wish this excellent adj
dress could he reported fully, Int we can
only give thought OF two from it. Chris
tian Endeavor means activity, royal sup
port, and responsbility-theset three thoughts
make a character, a specialist. The world
greatly needs to-day Christian specialists
and 1t rests with the Christian Endeavorers
to supply the need.
A very impressive conservation service,
led by Rev. George S. Mills, closed the day,
leaving with us this thought: "He that doeth
the Will Of God abideth forever

The New England Tent Club.

Last winter we reported Boston party at
Butter Island making surveys with view
to establishing summer resort there Last
week we received, with the compliments of
Hartman Brothers, civil engineers, Boston,
dainty little booklet, finely illustrated. in
which is set forth the organization of the
New England Tent Club. The Club owns
Butter Island and lesser adjacent islands,
eight i'll all, twelve miles easterly from Cam
den, nine miles southerly from Castine. The
group constitutes a township which has been
named Dirigo. The old homestead on the
island, a familiar object to yachtsmen bound
down the bay, has been utilized, with its
outbuildings, for club purposes. The settle
ment will be made up of tents and cottages
The pamphlet says: each member receives
warranty deed to one lot of land, and the
free use of boats, tennis, field games, tent
and complete camping outfit. :. The mat
rons welcome all to the old home, with its
dining hall, for here the comforts of home,
or of club, may be obtained by those mem
bers or their lady friends who care not for
camping or to build" There will be COM
missary and store on the island superin-
tendent to erect tents, care for boats, etc,
and yachtsmen will find good harbor. The
camping outfit consists of one wall tent
10x12, 2 cots, chairs, 1 table, oil stove
with oven, and cooking utensils. This is a
most interesting and well devised plan for
summer colony and we trust it may be sue
cessful. Later we may be able to report on
the new resort from personal inspection.
Meanwhile those desiring further informa-
ton should address Hartman Bros, 3 Son.

The Season OF 1890 at Northport.

In the town of Northport, four miles from
fast, is situated one of the most delightful
and health-givng places for a summer re-
sort on the coast of Maine, At this place
there is a large and excellent hotel with all
modern Improvements, pleasantly situated
and commanding view of the most beaut-
full bay on the coast of our country This
hotel Will be in charge of Chapman Il
Thompson OF Bangor, who are gentlemen of
large experience IN hotel life, and no doubt
will have a large company of first class
guests. There is a large auditorium capable
OF seating LOCO more people, where we
expect first class entertainments to be held
during the season. Special efforts are now
being made for that purpose. There are also
beautiful parks, promenades, avenues and
shore walks, which are now being put in
first class condition. The Boston and Ban
gor steamers, and sail boats and small steam
ers, are constantly coming and going from
and to this place, giving the best facilities
for travellers all over our country.
Nortlport is destined to become one of the
great summer resorts in Maine and We take
the liberty of inviting oar friends, and all
who would like to find rest and recre-
alton, to come and see us. Some of the
best and most slightly lots on the grounds
are for sale and now is a good time to
make selections. We respectfully invite the
CO. cooperation OF every cottage owner to help
improve and beautify their cottages and
walks, by clearing up the accumulation of
waste and setting out shrubs and plants,
thereby making them inviting and attrac.
tive and creating spirit of public enter
prise which we hope will extend all over the
grounds. We intend to have the sanitary
condition of the place in first class CON
dition, and we again respectfully ask the CO.
operation Of all cottagers to make special
effort to aid in that part Of our duty If we
do not boom Northport this year it will be
no fault Of ours. Any information required
as to rents and leases of cottages, lots, etc,
will be cheerfully given by addressing me
at Belfast or Morrill,, Waldo Co., Maine, or
Z. o. Dickey at East Northport.

Obituary.
H. r. D.

George O. Partridge died at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Charles II. Twombly, We'd
nesday morning, very suddenly, of yalvular
disease Of the heart, aged 81 years, months
and II days. He was apparently as we'll as
usual Tuesday and attended to his duties
through the day and evening. About 3
o'clock Wednesday morning he arose and
dressed himself, complaining of severe pains
in the region OF his heart. A physician was
called at once, but in spite of all that could
be done he passed away at O'Clock Mr.
Partridge was son of the late Joshua and
Mary A. Partridge, and was born in Stocl1to
When about Is years of age he entered the
the schooner Ernest, fitted out at this port,
and which was employed in surveys on the
Florida and Maine coasts. He then made a
voyage around the world in ship VIM. H .
Conner, after which he again entered the
coast survey as Master at Arms of steam
er Gedney. He then returned to the
merchant service and sailed as mate in
the larger class of coasters and in the
South American trade. His last posi-
ton was as first officer of the sch. Young
Brothers, which he gave up in May, 1895;
on account of ill health Since then he has
been employed in Belfast, and his home
since the death of his parents has been with
his sister, Mrs. Charles H. Tw ombly. He
was a member of Washington Hose Com
pany and while on duty at the Crosby Inn
fire contracted severe cold which no doubt
FASTENED his end. His parents passed away
before him, but he leaves three brothers and
three sisters to mourn the loss of kind,
whole-souled, generous brother. They are
Edward M. Partridge of Cochituate, Mass,
Mrs. Ella M. Twombly, Miss Sue NJ. Par
fridge, Mrs. Lena A. Wilson, Eustace and
Hiram L. Partridge, all of this city. He was
unmarried. He was a member of Phoenix
Lodge of Masons of this city. The deceased
was one of the most popular young men n
this city, and deservedly so, and his early
death will be generally mourned. He was a
master of the sea-farng profession, capable
of taking command and of filling any po-
sition on board vessel, and all with whom
he sailed bear ready testimony to his ablli-
ties and worth. The sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to the mourning relatives.
The funeral will be held Saturday at 2
o'clock.

IN communication to the Ace last
week giving legal opinion on the bridge
scheme, the substance of which was pub-
iished some weeks ago, the Mayor said:
''Ihe Journal has seen fit to publish
week by week series of defamatory mis-
representations regarding this and other
matters pertaining to the city, but which
have not considered worth replying to"
The Mayor is mistaken. There has been
nothing in The journal regarding CITY
matters that was defamatory, and no mis-
representation; aud what has been said
was solely in the public interest. Much
more might have been and perhaps should
have been said; and the Mayor should feel
specially indebted to The journal for the
reserve it has manifested with regard to
his official and semi official acts and Mt
terances, These may be reviewed at a
later date
