the Mallory line steamer "Alamo", which

Tomorrow evening Prof. Harry c.
Emery, OF Bowdoin college, will lecture
at the Congregational church. The
title of his lecture is "The Laureate of an
Empire", and the subject, Rudyard Kip
pling. The lecture Is one that should
commend itself to the literary people OF
Ellsworth, but when added to pop
ular subject is the fact that it Is to be
treated by an Ellsworth boy, 1t is safe to
say it will be enjoyed by large audience
The lecture is the last in the interesting
series arranged by Rev. D. L. Yale.

his house, and with whom he had had

cessfu.

Report of a double elopement caused
a slight commotion in certain circles this
week. One Of the men in the case is
Chinaman and one of the women was a
bride of just two weeks when she left her
uuSDdnu duu IOOh tA6 Train IOT DdilSOT
with another man. The honeymoon
probably will not be OF long duration
and few days will doubtless see the
four elopers back in Ellsworth, and the
hus band and wife reconciled. The
wronged husband asked City Marshal
Donovan il any harm would be done If he
should shoot the man W no stole his wife.
He was advised that it might be some
harm, and he appeared very much crest
fallen. He says he will welcome his
recreant wife back to his heart and
home, but il she ever runs away again he
will not take her back. The affair will
probably terminate without tragedy.
