The Celebration.

The celebration of Independence
Day, 1897, by the citizens of Els
worth, was. it may safely be said. an
event rarely equalled, and never ex-
celled by any similar one in the his
tory of the town. When the move
ment was first talked of, early in the
spring, responses were a little SLOW
but as time went on interest in the
affair increased: as the day drew near
the enthusiasm of the few infected
the many and the result was an out
burst OF patriotic activity seldom, if
ever, seen III this vicinity.
To his honor, Mayor H. E
Davis, whose interest never tagged.
and whose efforts We're unceasing; to
the various committees. whose mem
bers worked throughout with con-
spicuous harmony; to the merchants
and ,i@aesmen who SO materially
contributed to the success of the
trades procession, and to all who as
sisted by decorating stores and resi-
denees. thus enhancing the attrac-
tiVene-- the scene, thanks are due
That a heterogeneous crowd of from
5000 y 100 people should assemble

OBITUARY..
JOHN MAYNARD WHITAKER.

Capt. John Maynard Whitaker died at
his home on lower Franklin street last
Friday, in the fitty-eighth year of his
age.
Capt. Whitaker was born in Elswort h.
and had been a useful and respected citi-
zen OF this city all his life. As a boy he
turned naturally to the sea. For several
years he went as mate Tor Capt. Joseph
Indies trade.
For the past thirty years Capt. Whitts-
ker has been master OF Ellsworth vessels
in the coasting trade. At the time OF his
death he was master OF the "N esley Alb
bolt, and but two weeks ago arrived here
from his second trip to New York this
season. Some twenty-five years ago Capt.
Whitaker. then master OF the schooner
"Bonuy Iyes." while bound from Boston
to Ellswort n, WAS blown of the coast in
a November gale. For over three weeks
nothing was heard OF him, and his family
had almost despaired OF hearing from him
again, W hen word was received that he
was safe in Falmouth, England. He had
been taken of his wrecked schooner by
an out bound bark. The news that he
was safe WAS the occasion for general re-
ioicing in Ellsworth.
Capt. Whitaker was OF somewhat
retiring disposition and 1t cannot be said
OF him that he was prominent citizen.
but 1t may be said in much higher praise
thst he WAS good citizen and neigh Dor
Many neighborly kiDdnesses may be
credited to him. and there are many out
side his own family circle who will miss
him sorely. The deceased leaves a widow
and three sons-Fred P, OF Portland;

OF Boston. He is also survived by an
aged mot her, Mrs. Mary Ann Whitaker.
