which were arranged crossed muskets
and drum. The guests passed through
the arch to the coat and cloak rooms.
The aldermen's room was turned over to
the men, and the new office OF the super
intendent OF schools, for the ladies'
The decoration of the main hall was
Evergreen and pine tassels were used in
profusion, while the game interests of
Maine were represented by many mounted
deer and caribou heads. The hall was
bower OF evergreen, brilliantly lighted by
electric lights.
The stage represented a Elaine forest.
In the recess and in front Of the wings
were spruce trees. At the left a magniti
cent buck looked out ut The gay throng
which had invaded his domain. The
front OF the stage WAS mass OF ever
green. Above the stage WAS the coat of
arms OF Maine, wreathed in evergreen;
above it was a bears head, and on either
side OF it were deer heads.
Everywhere was evergreen. The 'front.'
OF the gallery was a mas, OF it; the sup
ports We're pillars OF it, and between them
and near the ceiling drooled large but
graceful festoons OF it. In the window
recesses were miniature pine trees, and
around the room, just below the gallery,
was a borde- OF pine tassels.
But this profusion OF green was not
monotonous. 1t was broken by the
groups OF mounted deer and caribou
heads which ornamented the panels be-
tween the windows, and by the rows of
incandescent lamps strung beneath the
gallery and festooned a bove the stage. The
hall was brilliantly Illuminated. 1t WAS
an appropriate setting for the brilliant
throng OF handsomely gowned women
and we'll dressed men. The predominant
ing dark green OF The decorations served
to set off the handsome costumes OF the
women.

Ellsworth has oftei ID the clerk OF the
weather, else why sheu'd he hide his
face from his chosen etple, and why
treat us so sha billy SO ne one said the
committee on Invita- ions bad forgotten
him; others declared that he became so
absorbed watching the Preparations for
the bail, that he neglected business, and
the elements got loose, There's no dis
putting the fact thgt sonnet hing got loose.
The plain unvarnished truth is that a
wetter, slopptcr, more disagreeab'e day
never di-graced the calendar or course
the attendance Mt the ball was very much
lessened by it, but not to the extent one
would imag inc. The loss was principally
from the nearby towns, from which
parties expected TO drive. The most
courageous purity was TINT from Bar tlar
Dor, which, fearing he boat would not
connect with tue train, drove to Els
worth in all the storm.
a young lady just arrived, plodding
resolutely along through the ankle-deep
5iush, Ha- ars. head In remark: "First
Impressions OF Els worth are not very
pleasant Before the evening was far
advanced. Gnd,r tire warming influence
OF Ellsworth hospitality this impression
# ,,la t.l,
was but eupnasiz ed by the discomforts
already experienced.
But while he attendance was materially
le.sened, the affair lost none OF its lustre,
and none of It's enjoyment to those who
braved the elements.
Governor Powers, with a good repre-
sentation of his staff, WAS present.
They came, they saw, and-were con-
quered; conquered by Ellsworth hos
pitality and Ellsworth cord iality, as was
the state board OF trade not many months
ago. Ellsworth then gained reputa-
ton as an entertainments name became
synonym for hospitality-and that rep
utation has been we'll sustained by the
governors reception.
1t might seem little egotistical for Il
home paper to talk this way, though a
newspaper is usually allowed more lib
erty than an individual in this respect,
but in this instance THE AMERICAN is
simply repeating, or summing up IN
few words, the many complimentary
things that visitors are saying about US.
To repeat all would be to fill the paper
with praises OF Ellsworth to the exclu-
sions OF everything else, and readers
are clamoriug for description of the re-
ception and ball.
The governors reception was a
brilliant social success, and Ellis
worth has fairly outdone all her
past achievements as an entertainer.
And here at the very outset
THE AMERICAN wishes to say that the
credit for this success belongs to the
member OF the general committee and
to the various 4ub-committees, OF
which the ladies formed an important
part. Possibly this or that member Of
rte committees might be singled out a.
.-tsrpliv worthy ~ credit, but 50 gem

INTERESTS IN NICARAGUA.

Hamptonians Who Have Claim to
Extensive Properties.
Alessrs. George and Marshall Booker
of Hampton, have just returned from
Philadelphia, where the attended a
meeting Of the Central American Com
pany which was organized October l6,
1893. The company was organized OF.
n basis of 22.300,0 600 acres of land and :,
cal!tal of S5,625000. The Messrs. Book
er. whose father. George Booker. was
one Of the directors of the company
formed 4" years ago. brought with them
from Philadelphia an old prospectus
printed in 1899. which gives an interest
ing history Of ti.e company. its rights
and properties and how acquired. The
revival of the old company is due TO the
agitation of the. Nicarauga canal pro-
ject. which. it is said. is proposed TO be
built upon the lands owned by this old
company. or certainly near them. The
22.30o0 900 acres owned by the company
constitute 4 large part of the Mosquito
territory or Mosquito kingdom, which
commences at Cape Honduras, the ex-
IRENE northwestern part OF the territory
and runs thence easterly by the sea
coast to Cape Gratias. thence southerly
by said coast 70 King Bupran Rock. ad
joining New Grenada then southwest
wardy to the range of mountains divd-
ing the two oceans, thence northwardly
ard thence north TO Cape Honduras
containing about 1000 square miles.
The history of the acquisition of the
territory described is interestingly traced
from 4 grant made by the King Of Mos
quito to Peter and Samuel Shepherd,
citizens of the United States in Janu-
airy 1890. and confirmed in November of
the same year. Deeds Of conveyance
We're executed by the king to the Shep-
herds, conveying the lands free from
taxation forever. The lands We're con-
veyed by the granters to the Central
American Company. The prospectus
describes in glowing terms. the rivers.
forests, mineral resources. climate, pro
ducts. etc.
The s5.650,00O constituting the capital
OF the company is divided into $4,000
shares of the value Of s25 each. each
share of stock representing one hundred
acres of land. The company was under
the direction OF board Of directors OF
twenty-ons. persons. Hon. Joseph Coop
er. United States Senator from Penn
sylvania. was president. Two of the
directors were Virginians. viz: David
s. Keeling. Norfolk. Va. and George
| Booker. Hampton. Va. The revival OF
| the old company is for the purpose OF
protecting its claims to the property. the
value Of which is increased by the pro-
(, position to build the Nicaragua canal.
