Rev. c. Z. Harwood, late pastor OF the
church at Cranberry Isles, and who has
done much missionary work among the
islands, died at Orleans, Mass, Monday
of last week. The news OF his death was
received with sincere regret by those
among whom he had so faithfully la bored
Mr.. Harwood left Gran berry Isles about
six weeks ago, at the advice OF his physi-
clan, for much-needed rest Few
realized at that time how sick man
their beloved pastor really was. Death
was due to liver trouble He was in the,
fifty fifth year of his age.
He had been located at Gran berry Isles
for the past three years and in that short
time had succeeded in reviving great in
terest in the church, and in making
many repairs on the church building,
which had long been unused, and was
rapidly falling into decay. 1t seemed his
ambition to see the church entirely re-
paired and retitted, an ambition which
would doubtlessly have been realized the
coming summer.
Funeral services were held at Orleans
last Wednesday. The remains were taken
to the native place OF the deceased, En-
field, Mass, for interment.

GEORGE Il. STONER.

George II. Stover, proprietor OF Bluehill

day OF Brights disease.
Mr.. Slower was ffty-six years Of age
He was native of Orland, but early in
life moved TO New York. He engaged in
the engineers supply business, and later
became a mem Der of he George f. Blake
Co, which through his efforts was con-
solidated with the Knowles Pump Works.

About two years ago Mr.. Slower made a
proposition to Ellsworth, through the
board OF trade, to build an electric road
here providing the city would raise a GER
tain amount OF capital necessary. The
city accepted the proposition in good
faith, and after a determined effort sue
ceeded III securing subscriptions for the
amount required. The road, however,
did not materialize.

Chairman Dingley made short work
Of the juggling of percentage figures
by which the democrats in the House
sought to make it appear that the
Dingley tariff bill carried a higher
average rate ofduties than the McKin-
ley bill did. Said Mr.. Dingley: Not
withstanding the fact that in this bill,
in every schedule except earthen-
ware, glass, tobacco, sugars, and,
think, silk to some extent, notwith-
standing that in every schedule except
these the present bill carries actual
duty less than was carried in the act
of 1890, and Notwithstanding the fact
that in many of the schedules it
carries duties substantially the same
as those in the present democratic
law, yet if you convert these specific
duties into ad uatorem percentages,
not taking into consideration the
changes of value between 1890 and
1896, you appear to have an increase
Of duties imposed, when, as a matter
Of fact, the actual duties imposed are
ess."

without it. Most Of her faculties are good
though she is little hard of hearing.
Her father, Elkanah Remick, served in
the war of the Revolution, and she can
remem Der hearing him tell OF the hard
ships he endured at the battle OF Bunker
Hill. Her grandfather, too, served in the

Mayor Noble, of Lewiston. Dead.

Frank L. Noble, mayor OF Lewiston,
died Monday morning, OF Bfight's
disease. Mayor Noble had long been a
sufferer from this disease but few real
lied how serious was his condition.
Two weeks ago he left Lewiston for a
short trip to New Jersey, in the hope OF
benefting his health. His strength,
however, prevented him making the en-
tire trip, and after week with friends in
Massachusetts, he returned home last
Friday in state OF collapse.
Francis Low Noble was born at Fair
field Corner, July % 1854. He graduated
from the Maine State seminary, (now
Bates colI-g-) in 1874, and began the
stady OF Il" III Portland. He was admit
ted to the Cum Der land county bar in 1877,
and soon afterHaru began the practice of
law in Lev Iston. After two years in the
West he returned to Lewiston in 1851
where he has since remained. He has been
elected mayor OF lie ton for three con-
secutive terms.
