OBITUARY.
MRS. WILLIAM M. JONES.
of labor.

MRS. WILLIAM M. JONES.
Hannahett, wife Of William NJ. Jones,
whose death Aug. I, was briefly reported
last week, was the daughter OF the late
William Fullerton, Of Ellsworth. She
four years ago, and they began their mar
ried life on The pleasant farm at Bayside
where they have since lived and raised to
manhood and womanhood eight children
Mrs. c. W. Clough, Ellsworth Falls
Mrs. l. N. Hodgkins, Bar Harbor; Mrs.
W. Nj. Smith, Ellsworth; William A.,
Augustus E., Arthur NJ, Charles E., and
Erastus r. Jones. One son, Alvin E.,
died when about one year Of age. Her
eight children, four OF whom reside in
Massachusetts, were permitted, with their
father, to be around her bedside during
the last week Of her short illness.
Mrs. Jones was a devoted wife and
mot her, giving her life to her family, of
whom she was justly proud. Her grand
children loved to gather at "grandma's 81
where they found a warm welcome, and
one, Flora H. Jones, has found in her a
loving mot hers care for the past twelve
year..
Mrs. Jones leaves one brother, Capt.
Edwin Fullerton, Of Somerville, Mass,
and one sister, Mrs. A. E. Martin. of
Franklin Road. Two other members of
her fathers large family have gone before
her.
The funeral was at her late home, August
10. Rev. Gideon Mayo, of Brooklin, long
time friend, spoke words of consolation
from Psalm 55-22, and Matthew 11-2s,
which seemed particularly applicable to
Mr.. Jones, who had been for years a
patient sufferer from an incurable disease.
The large gathering showed the esteem in
which the deceased was held. Interment
was at Woodbine cemetery.

have placed to their credit an I'M
broken chain of victories.
History will record the results and
forget the mistakes.


When our fleet moved over from
Key West to the blockade of Havana
the United States had not known war
with a foreigner for fifty years. This
war has lasted but little over three
months, hut the public will probably
wake more slowly to the fact that
peace has come again than it did to
the fact of war. The conflict has been
so sensational in its achievements, so
rushing in its valor and glory, and so
mo nentous and inspiring in its re-
suits that we are more surprised to
have it stopped than we We're at its
quiet and easy beginning.
Public anxiety over the progress of
our men in the field will now be sue
ceeded by anxiety of a very different
sort, that concerning the final terms
of peace.
Will the American victory, which
Spain could not prevent through force
of arms, be prevented by the folly,
the timidity and the rawness of our
representative in the peace commits
sion?
No one knows; but the majority of
Americans believe that William Nc
Kinley, being Preside 1t, the final set
Element will disappoint none who has
rejoieed like patriot at the deeds of
our army and navy, and who looks to
greater greatness for the nation
n. Y. Sun.

\ Glorious Var.

The war is over. 1t has been glo-
rious one for the United States. Over
against the charges of official mis-
management, the crit cisms of politi-
cal mountebanks, envious officials
misinformed subordinates and cap
tious public and press-over against
all these the grand achievements OF
the war stand out clearly in refuta-
ton.
Mistakes and miscalculations there
dcu5tless we're, for such have always
been inseparable from army move
ments, buJ the harsh criticisms of
government mismanagement and in
capacity are not borne out by the re-
suite Of Tue war. In but little over
three months the United States has
fought the war to successful and

An East Sullivan man recently sold a
COW. When he purchaser came for the
animal, the former owner took him to he
pasture, assuring him he could "go right
up to that COW anywhere. But in spite
OF these assurances, the COW did not take
kindly to the advances, and the seller
taxed his ingenuity to invent excuses for
for her sad behavior, finally deciding
that cit must be that Ping dog that makes
her act so". The real reason was not dis
covered until some enc on the street
asked him what he meant by selling his
neig b boris COW.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by consttu.
tiona remedies. Deafness IL caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube gets In.
famed you have a rum0ling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the Inflammation can he
taken out and this tube re -tored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by cata, III,
which Is rothing but an inh..med condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Speedy TOrpedo-Boat DESTROYER,

The torpedo boat destroyer "Farragut'
which had her builders trial last week
proves to be wonder, and her construct
ors expect that her official test will show
her to be the fastest craft Of her type in
the world. II she does not make speed OF
thirty-two knots her builders will be dis
appointed. With little more than halt
her horse power she made a twenty-six
knot gait over measured mile.
While there was no attempt to push the
little craft, she was kept going at lively
clip, and fairly tore through the water
She made twenty-si4 knots with 24O
pounds Of steam and 800 horse power.
With $500 horse power she will probably
do thirty-two knots.

BUCKSPORT DROWNING CASE.

Law Court Upholds Verdict that Per-
kins l. Co. were not Liable.
The decision Of the law court in the
case of McLane vs.. Perkins, OF Bucksport,
an action to recover damages for the life
Of one Of the four employees OF F. G..
Perkins & Co., who were drowned last
year, was handed down last week. The
rescript, which is by Judge Emery, is as
| follows:
| !. In this State 1t Is unavailing to attempt to
| move the court from the long and firmly .estab-
| lished rule that in all prosecutions for injuries
alleged to have been caused by the negligence
| of the defendant, the burden is upon the plain
! tiff to establish by evidence, as an Affirmative
proposition of fact, that at the time of the in
! jury or accident the person injured was free
| from contributory negligence.
| ,. This rule obtains in all suits or prosecu-
tons based on allegations of negligence.
| 3. There is no presumption of fact or law
that any person in jured was so careful or acted
SO prudently in the emergency a. to he free
from contributory negligence Such PROPOSE
ton must be established by evidence.
4. While freedom from eontributory negu
gence can sometimes be inferred from the
circumstances shown, the inference must be
from circumstances shown by the evidence to
have actually existed and cannot he made 9om
circumstances merely conjectured or even
probable
5. Where, as in this case the evidence fails
to show the circumstances attending the injury,
fails to show how the injury occurred, and fail
to show that the person injured was merely
passive in his proper place in the case of the
defendant it does not sustain the essential prop
osition that at the time he was free from con.
tributory negligence.
6. In this case the course OF events after the
boat lin which was the plaintiffs inte-tate as
| employee left the shore is utterly unknown and
can only be conjectured, but conjecture is
| never sufficient to sustain a proposition of law
or fact.
Exceptions overruled.

Among Bar Harbor's distinguished visit
ors last week was ex- President Grover
Cleveland. Bar Harbor is SO accustomed
to entertaining presidents, potentates and
princes that an ex-president, even as big
a one as Grover, scarcely causes a ripple
in the social mill-pond.

A Bar Harbor man claims to have dis

is a little premature to announce the for

of natural electricity. Perhaps a little
bottled electricity will help the Bar Har-

close period.

The department of state has been
officially notified that an international
congress for the purpose of discussing
tariff legislation and the regulation of
labor will be held at Antwerp, Bel
GUM, from Sept. y to Il inclusive.
Public economists, socialists, manu-
facturers, merchants, employers and
workmen are invited to take part.
The points from which these ques-
lions are viewed by Americans and
Europeans are SO wide apart that few
Americans are likely to attend this
congress, except from curiosity.
Americans have tariff system now
that is bringing them great prosper
ity, and countries that are prosperous
have little difficulty in the regulation
of labor.

samples of some of the insects from Jere
Jordan, OF Tiden, which nave been iden-
titled by Prof. Harvey, the botanist OF he
board, as the halt-grown larva Of the fall
web worm. Prof. Harvey states hat he
Larvae are quite variable as to different
mouths, ana the fall brood is considera bly,
darker.

thing further in relation to the depreda-
tions OF these insects, and would thank
you or any readers OF your paper, for
more Information in the matter.
Yours very truly.

SERMON TO KNIGHTS OF MALTA
Delivered by Rev. Thomas DeGruchy
in Jackson Street Church.

The service of last evening at the
jackson Street Baptist church was
specially devoted to the members of
the Ancient and Illustrious Order
knights or Malta. The two command
cries on the West Side. Electric City,
No. III and Washington, No. 800, at
tended in a body and uniformed. There
were also several members from the
central city communicates in attend
ance.
The choir sang several special selec-
tlOns. Two large American flags were
artistically drsped about the pulpit.
The pastor, Rev. Thomas DeGruchy,
who is member of the order, preached
a special sermon. In part, it follows
herewith:
] have no time this evening to give you
a history of our noble order; for since the
year lClS, centuries have rolled away in
which the noble knights have played no
small part, in the defence of the faith.
which today is the inheritance of the
nineteenth century; suffice 1t TO say that
there are few subjects which present so
rich and so varied materials as the an
mails of the Knights of St. John. Let me
Slve you glimpse of the origin of the
order.
among the great events OF European
history none were for a longer time in
preparation. or more naturally brought
about than the crGsades that Christianity
from her earlier days, had seen in Jeru-
salem her sacred cradle, II had been in
the past the home of her ancestors, the
Jews and the center of their hosiery;
and afterwards the scene of the life and
death and resurrection of her divine
founder. Jerusalem became more and
more the holy city. To 60 to Jerusalem,
to visit the Mt. of Olives and Calvary,
the tomb of Jesus, was to the earlier
Christians a divine passion. And when,
under Constantine. Christianity had as
cended from the cross to the throne Je-
rusalem had fresh attractions for Chris
tian faith and curiosity. Christian tenn
pies were erected and surrounded the molly
sepulchre, and nearly all the places that
Jesus had consecrated by His presence
were adorned by churches and chapels,
dedicated to His memory.

WE PAY EXPRESS,
Golf Capes
Man Tailored

London tailor has the knack of
metamorphi2ing the handsome Scotch
Plaid Shawls, that come mostly from
Paisley into picturesque golf capes,
making these more beautiful in their
transformed state than they were in
their original. Some of his clever cape
ideas came TO us Saturday and get
first showing this week Warm. rich
plaids emphasize their popularity, al
though plain cloths are many. Soft
Montagnac weaves have great dignity
and rule largely in the gathering.
Flounce effects are a predominant
feature and are seen with the contrast
ing plaid inner surface used as a
fiouncc on the plain, making a most
fetching garment
Many of the elegant sorts will not be
seen after this week, for women wish
ing exclusive beauty will choose early,
There are no duplicates of these single
garments in this part of the state.
