A Step Backward.

1t was with extreme regret that we
announced last week the contemplate
ed closing of the reading at the
public library, which has been main
tanned by the Kings Daughters. The
reason for this action is lack of funds.
The Kings Daughters have heroic
ally chung to this reading room fea-
ture of their work; they have resort
ed to every possible means to raise
funds sufficient for its maintenance,
but at last they are obliged to give up
the struggle, and after next Saturday
night the room will be closed, unless
the trustees can make some provision
for its continuance.
This does not speak well for Ellis
worth. In connection with its SPLEEN
did public library, the city itself ought
to maintain this reading room; that it
does not is not to its credit. But still
worse is the factor it appears to be
fact-that there is not public spirit
enough in the town to stand BY the
hople pand OF women who, largely at
their own expense, have until now
maintained the reading room.
There are half dozen mems clubs
in this city; as many more womens
clubs, and secret societies galore All
appear to be flourishing, and yet a
pubic reading -room-practically the
only in door resort for the non-c club
going element-must forsooth be
closed for lack of support.
Tins IS altogether wrong; it suggests
state of things that needs prompt
attention. We do not suggest rem
edy; We simply state the situation,
and respectfully submit that this pub
lie cannot afford to permit that read
lng-room to remain closed.

Seems as If consumption always picks out the
brightest and best. Fully one-sixth of all the
deaths that occur in the world are caused by
consumption. Many things were once consid
cred impossible. 1t would be strange If medi-

telegraph ami telephone, the photograph, the
electric light-all were once impossible, aud
once 1t impossible to cure consumption.

THE AMERICANS correspondent from
Brookiin reports curious case OF where
the cat did not come back. On August II
last the correspondent WAS burned out OF
his home, and ths pet cat, Tom WAS so
thoroughly frightened by the flames that
he took to the woods, and although seen
few times by neig bors, was so wild that
he could not be approached. Ga Tuesday
OF last week, after an absence OF four
months and nine days, Tom" passed
near his former home and was seen by
Capt. Stanley, neigh Dor, who reported
him. His owner followed his track nearly
mile and finally came up with him.
Tom answered his masters call, and
came to him, jumping into his arms like a
glad child. Now Tom is installed in
his new home, as happy and contented a
cat as there is in Hancock county.

The State Legislature.

The next session of the legisla
of the State of Maine will meet in
Augusta one week from day-Jau-
uary 3, 1899. No great issues are
likely to present themselves at this
session, and but little outside of rou-
tine business will occupy the attention
of the two bodies.
The election of a United States sem
ator will be about the only action that
will attract public attention outside
the State. That Senator Hale will
succeed himself is foregone conclu-
sion.
AS usual Hancock county will send
a strong delegation, all republicans
with the exception of one representa-
tive-Dr. Brigham, democrat, of Sui
Ivan.
Hancock county's senators are
DR.. R. P. Grindle, of Bluehill, and Col.
Fl. E. Hamlin, of Ellsworth, both of
whom have seen service at Augusta.
The county's representatives are
Isaac Britton, of Bucksport; Charles
