FOOTBALL.

Thanksgiving was gala day for the
football players and football rooters of
Ellsworth.
Ellsworth will always claim that the
umpire made the touchdown in Sstur-
days game.
Bueksport and Belfast high school
teams played at Bucksport Thanksgiving
Day. The visitors won-6-0.
Bangor's mascot is snow. They had
snow with them in the first game at Ban
gor; they had Snow with them in the
second game at Ellsworth.
The behavior of the Ellsworth crowd
who witnessed the games on Thanksgiv-
ing Day was all that could be desired. The
good example set by Bar Harbor WAS
most satisfactorily followed.
1t should be said that our high school
boys held their temper admirably during
Saturdays game. They were sorely tried
throughout the game by the unsports
msnlike play OF the Bangor boys.
The foot ball season in Ellsworth has
closed, and Coach Libby has gone into
winter quarters in northern Aroostook.
Already lovers Of the game in Ellsworth
are counting on seeing him back next
fall He has done good work here.
Bangor, disappointed at the smallness
OF the score in Saturdays game, makes
the pitiful excuse that 1t Ibid not have all
it's regular players. That's right! No.
body disputes the statement that several
OF its players were irregular. As matter
OF fact, Bangor brought to Ellsworth the
strongest team 1t could, and IL 1t went out
OF the school to find players, it did not do
SO OF necessity.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER so, 1895
At W ashlnotou,

For the first time in many years, y
says the entertaining Washington
correspondent of the Bangor CONNER
cial, lone of Names two senators
wiz ~'-ro''t at the beginning of a
session of Congress. Senator Frye's
duties with the peace commission
will 1-ccr him in Paris for some time
yet, aud senator Hale will be the
only ri,..1io senator here. AS Senator
Frye is the second republican men,
Der of the committee on foreign re-
lations, he is able to be of far more
service to the Senate and to the
country ny remaining in Paris. He
will Nc n"ired with some democratic
senator so that the republicans will
lose nothing by his absence as far as
voting goes.
when he returns Senator Frye
will be a more conspicuous figure
than ever i'll the Senate, particularly
il connection with the treaty be-
tween this country and Spain.
However, Maine will have a very
prominent hand in the Senate from
the outset. 1t is no eXaggeration to
say that Senator Hale will probably
be the hardest worked man in the
Senate this winter. He approaches
the task with excellent qualifications.
His good business methods and sound
Judgment will enable him to dispatch
a vast amount of work.
The senator, in common with a
few colleagues, has to pass upon mat
tiers that involve millions of money,
IN fact, the entire appropriations for
the approaching session, which may
reach near billion of dollars.
Senator Hale is chairman of the
committee on naval affairs, which has
very important bushes. to dispose of
this winter with the increasing atten
ton given to the navy, and he ranks
next to Senator Allison on the appro-
priations committee.
THE duties of the appropriations
committee are more than enough to
keep the ordinary man busy from the
moment that the first appropriation
bill passes the House till the clock in
dictates the hour Of midnight on
March 4, 1899.
''The senior Maine senator reached
Washington on Friday. His large
residence on the corner of X and 10th
streets had already been put in order
to receive him and his family for the
winter The shutters were taken
down several days ago and gardeners
have been at work renovating the
broad lawns

The taffy- on-a- arrangement known
10 the present day boy as sucker" is
not only the most disgusting OF modern
CONNECTIONS, but is an actual menace to
the health OF children. Child fashion
they give their little playmates suck OF
their candy, and frequently the sucker
goes the rounds OF large circle OF chit
dren. Who knows the amount OF disease
transmitted III this way? But this Is not
the only danger. At Bucksport last week
a child fell, and the stick OF the sucker
penetrated the eye socket, just missing
the eyeball. Cases have been reported
where children have received fatal in
juries by falling and striking on the pro-
truding stick OF the sucker carried in he
mouth. Down with the sucker! Give

State Dairy Conference.

The State dairy conference OF the
Maine board OF agriculture will be held
in Portland, Dec. : and s. For the first
time it will be an interstate exhibit
ton, the competition for premiums on
creamery and dairy butter being open to
New England.
There is every indication that the ex-
hibit of dairy products and dairy ma
chinery will be very large. The fancy
butter display, which promises to be
much larger than ever before, as we'll as
the display of dressed poultry, eggs, and
poultry appliances, will add to the at
tractiveness of the exhibit. There will
be reduced rates on railroads and at

A Few Facts about this Newly
Acquired pnssessinn

Acquired Possession.
Porto Rico is an island, ninety five
miles long and thirty five miles wide,
containing 366S square miles-about half
the size OF New Jersey. NIeque, an
island thirteen miles east of Porto Rico,
is twenty-one miles long and six miles
wide.
the population is about $50 900, OF which
800 600 or more are negroes, and $1,000
native Spaniards. Vieque has 5000 in
habitants.
The principal cities are San Juan
80 0O0), Ponce Is 600, Mayaguez (20,OOol,
Aguadllia 5000, Arecibo (7,0OOl, Fsjardo
5000. NAguaDo (2,0OO), and Arroyo
q 200.
There are 40 miles OF telegraph lines

The land along the coasts and in the
valleys is generally level and fertile. The
mountain ranges contain some gold, cop
per, lead and coal.
Porto Rico's climate is semi-tropicsl -,
but &C orally healthful. There is little
yellow fever and few other contagious dis
eases, despite bad sanitary conditions in
the cities.

There is no uneasiness at Washing
ton in administration circles about the
ratification of the treaty of peace by
the Senate, although several republi-
can senators and number OF demo-
cratic senators are talking against
ratification. The only thing that the
opposition can do is to delay ratifica-
ton by preventing vote at the COM
ing session. 1t would be better, of
course, that the treaty should be
promptly ratified, but inasmuch as we
shall have everything N our own
hands, and as there is no intention to
govern the newly acquired territory
in any other way than by military
rule, for at least year, the delay will
make no material difference, even if
it extends TO the end of the coming
session of Congress. The President
can easily call an extra session of the
Senate, which viii be strongly repub-
lican after he 4th of next March, to
ratify The treaty, and he can be sure
that it viii be speedily done.
