WINTERPoRT, Capt. E. f. Littleteld,
whose serious illness was announced last
week, passed away Tuesday evening at 80.
His death was quite sudden, the immediate
cause being pneumonia, though he had been
failing in health for some months. Capt.
Littletield was one of our most prominent
citizens and was also we'll known elsewhere,
having been master of a fine ship for many
years. He was born in this town in 1919
and began going to sea at the age of Ia years
as cook with the late Capt. Nathaniel At
wood of this place. When 26 years old he had
worked his way up to the position of cap
| tain. He was ship-wrecked twice and dur
ing the Mexican war was captured and taken
to Barcelona, Spain. He retired from the
sea when he was 81 and since that time has
resided here, although for some years he has,
with his family, spent his winters in Florida.
He became Mason when young man and
was Sir Knight. In 1855 he was married
| to Miss Abbie White, who with son and
| daughter, Captain Charles E. and Miss Etfie
M. Littletield, survive him. Fortunately
Capt Charles was at home for brief visit
and had the privilege of being with his father
during his last days. Capt. Littleteld was a
man of sterling integrity a kind neighbor and
good citizen, and he will be greatly missed,
| not only il the home circle but by his many
friends and by those whom he was ever
ready to befriend. The funeral services were
held at his late residence Friday afternoon,
Rev. j. ?, Simonton officiating. The house
was filled with sympathizing relatives aud
| friends, many coming from out of town. A
| beautiful maltese cross of flowers, the en-
blem Of the knights Hemplar lay on the
| casket and other beautiful flowers We're
| sent by friends. -. Miss Marion Kelly of
Camden came up to attend the funeral of
Capt. Littlefeld and to remain a few days
| with Miss Elite. Mr. Pelatah Ellingwood
died very suddenly of heart disease at his
home at Ellingwood's Corner Thursday
night. He had been in poor health for some
time, but was not considered in immediate
danger He died sitting in his chair. Mr..
| Ellingwood was good citizen. He leaves
d wife, two sons and daughter to mourn
their loss. The funeral services were held
at his late home Sunday afternoon, conduct
ed by Rev. j. P. Snonton. "A little daugh-
| ter was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin Nerrill
| Tuesday. Mrs E. NJ. Littietield has re-
| turned from Falmouth.

A Literary Fraud Exposed.

In The Journal of Jan. 2Sth was poem,
copied from the Troy Times, which that
paper said was composed by 13-year- old
girl, without any assistance whatever" and
first published i'll the Troy Times. The poe IN
was entitled ''Little Flo's Letter." and was
very clever-most too clever to have been
the unaided production of a 13-year-old girl.
Mr.. Geo A. Quimby had the impression
that Eben E. ReXford was the author of the
poem and that it first appeared in the Ladies
Home journal. He had the poem in book
at home, but without the authors name
given, and his little daughter Kate had re-
cited the verses on one occasion. He wrote
to the Ladies' Home Journal, Philadelphia i,
and received the following reply, under
date of Feb. 3, 1897:
Dear Sir: Permit me to thank you for call
ing our attention to the poem enclosed in
your letter This same poem was written
by Mr.. Eben E. Rexford and published in
The Ladies' Home Journal in October, 1888.
1t was entitled "Flo's Letter.
We have called this fact to the attention
of the editor of the Troy Times.
Yours very respectfully

Gunton's Magazine for February, in
commenting on the arbitration treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United States,
says That no doubt public opinion in ia
vor of international arbitration is much
stronger in England than in the United
States. Assuming that the treaty will
eventually be ratified, the writer says
further:
This treaty is the most important step
vet taken towards establishing peaceful
means of settling International contro-
veTsies If it proves to work successfully
between England and the United States,
he two most advanced and powerful ma
lions in the world, much will have been
accomplished toward the ultimate over
throw OF militarism, and the substitution
of industlialism as the means of carrying
civilization to the most backward portions

cords of the past a knowledge of the
events and personages of ancient history;
it awakens interest in science, in natural
history, in physical geography. The best
account we have ever read of the great
natural oil industry of this country was in
a serial for boys and girls; and the same
may be said of another serial which dealt
with the soil, climate and people of Alas
ka. But altogether apart from its intlu-
ence in reforms, orits instructive features,
we maintain that fiction has it's place as a
relaxation and from the enjoyment to be
derived from it.

BELFAST, Feb. I. Strange, but ap-
palently true, nevertheless, Belfast is
without single issue or anything to
make one for the next municipal election.
This will be an unusual occurrence. [Ban-
gor Daily News.
Better no issues than false issues, de-
signed to delude voters and promote ILL
feeling. Two years ago one of the chief
claims presented by our present mayor in
bis campaign for the office was that he
was the largest individual tax payer in
the city. Then, when elected, he had his
tax cut down nearly one half. Another
issue was the persecution and abuse of
those who had given their money that
Belfast might have a first class hotel
That tissue has been disposed of bv
fire. The destruction of Crosby I'm was
not a loss to the stockholders alone-their
money was already sunk-but was a loss
to the city, and one that has been sensi-
bly, felt. We think that now the people
have had surfeit of humbuggely and
bombast, and are ready to support clean,
business-ike administration of city af-
fairs.

Some one has made the record of books
taken from a public library in Maine
city last year the text for TRADE against
works of fiction. This is stereotyped
sort of assininity which shows itself with
more or less frequency. Now there is
fiction and fiction. 1t is safe to say that
the public libraries of Maine do not pro-
vide fiction of the lurid, dime novel order;
out critics of the class referred to make no
distinction. Their sweeping condemna-
tion includes all fiction-books which
have become classics; books which have
been more potential in moral reforms than
all other agencies combined. Blot out
Uncle TOMS Cabin and you eliminate an
important factor in the anti-slavery cru

Dickens and of Charles Reade were aim
ed at abuses across the water, and were
instrumental in their correction. Fiction
is often used for the presentation of truth
