IN ELLSWORTH.
Ellsworth may claim the banner for
holding up its vote. Though the vote
WAS light, 1t was larger than that OF 1894
by fifteen votes.
But Ellsworth is entitled to another
banner 1t is the banner republican town
OF the county. Comparing the vote for
governor with that of 1891, a republican
gain in plurality Of siXty-iive, and this
in spite OF the fact that one OF the candi
dates for governor was an Ellsworth man,
and ran sixteen votes ahead of his ticket
in his own ward.
Mr.. Gerry S small vote was one of the
surprises OF the election. His total vote
in Ellsworth WAS AZ.
1t may be hardly fair to Mr.. Gerry to
compare this vote with Bateman's 1871 in
1891 for that year marked the high tide
of populsm in Maine. But compared
with 1896, the figures are but little more
satisfactory to Mr.. Gerry. In 1896 Mr..
Bateman received ia.
Bateman's vote in the county in 1894
was 1873, and in 1896, 375. Mr.. Gerry's
vote i'll the county was sixty-nine.

Last Meeting Brief Sketch and Secre-

LAST meeting -BfieI SKetcn ana Secre-
tary's Report.
The last meeting OF the Volunteer aid
association was held at "The Pines" on
Friday afternoon, Sept. g. Reports of the
work were read by the secretary and
treasurer, Miss NJ. A. Greedy, and the
closing business was transacted by the
president, after which refres hments were
served on the lawn.
The Volunteer aid association was or
ganized on Thursday, June 80, 1898, when
in response to general invitation given
by Mrs. Hale, fifty-four ladies met at

Tuesday and Friday afternoons at Man
ming hall, except on several occasions,
when the association has been invited to
1.-The Pines.
Funds were needed to carry on the
work which the members hoped to accom-
plish, and through the efforts of the
finance committee collections were taken
in all the churches on Sunday, July 3,
while boxes for voluntary contributions
were put in conspicuous places; a sub
scription paper was passed among some
Of the business men of the city, and on
Wednesday afternoon, Aug. II, concert
was given at the "Pines" by Miss Ethel

In addition to the four boxes a check
for 500 was sent to DR.. Calvin Dewitt,
United States hospital, Fortress Munroe,
and another for $40 to Capt. O'Neill All
of these contributions have been CRATE
fully acknow lodged. Some money re-
manned in the treasury when the assocla-
ton disbanded, and this has been
deposited in a bank to be used to help the
families of the Maine soldiers who have
died. The money is in charge of the fol-
lowing committee: Miss Eliza beth True,
