rlitchell Will Build The Road.

James Mitchell of Portland, the well
known railroad contractor and promoter
was at the Bangor House Friday, and in re-
sponse to the inquiries of q reporter for the
News he said that he expected to begin work
in the spring of 1899 on the construction of
an electric railway from BelfasJ to North :
port campground. He said that the road
would be built under the charter of the local
company organized some years ago for Vhe
purpose of building line from Stockton
Springs to Northport, but that new COM
pany might be formed.
The line will be about five miles long
and will be operated by the trolley system
and Mr.. Mitchell regards its prospects of
success as excellent. Ultimately, he thinks,
there will be a continuous line of electric
railways from Bangor to Rockland. MI.
Mitchell is on his way to the western termi-
nus of the Washington County railroad
where he has some business to transact.

eran of the civil war, after which Lieut..
Young introduced Charles Hodgdon, who is
better known as Happy Jack" of the Rough
Riders. Mr.. Hodgdon gave in brief his
tory of the Rough Riders from its mastering
in until its discharge and related many in
cidents of the campaign. He evidently
makes good use of his eyes and ears wher-
ever he goes and has happy faculty of tell
ing his experiences. He saw not only the
horrors of war and the sutferings OF the re-
concentrates. but many amusing Incidents,
all Of which he related in a telling manner,
His experiences in Cuba Were published in
Inc 30 urndl OF OcL, btH1 IN an lnlefNltN.
Rev. Randall 7. Capen was then called

vice briefly. Post Commander W. H. Clifford
OF Thomas Fl, Marshall Post, G. A. R., gave
words Of greeting to the Sons and spoke of

porous year. Individual duties as well as
committee work We're faithfully performed
by the great majority Of the Endeavorers
Soon we were ready to enlarge our borders.
In the spring of 1899 the Junior Christian
Endeavor society was formed and in the
summer our Endeavorers. together with the
Baptist society, organized a mission Sunday
school in the schoOl-house on Waldo avenue.
The average attendance at this school which
was kept up for that summer only, was II.
In ~ and '93 we added new committees,
the Missionary and the Sunday school,
and better still, six associate members be-
came earnest active members. Our mem
berShip, 81, was larger than 1t had been at
any other time. In this year, too, was begun
by the Prayerneetlng Committee the plan OF
meeting just before the Endeavor service for
d few moments prayer with the leader. Also
on Thursday evenings, preceding consecra-
| ton services, brief prayer meetings were
held. $3.50 collected by the Fulton plan
was given to home and foreign missions.
This Fulton plan of giving for missions two
cents a week for members proved very
| successful then, and has been used ever
since.
| Soon after this, in the winter of '94, came
glad time for the Endeavor Society. In
our record book stands this sentence. Jan.
| Z, 1894, earnest prayers were offered for the
| successful work of the Evangelist, Rev. G.
| l.. Jackson" Before this many of the active
members had been working specially for
| the conversion of some associate members,
| and many prayers were answered wnen
| there were welcomed to our fellowship II
| new active members, 7 of these from our
| associate list. AS soon as possible these new
| members were assigned to work on the diff
ferent committees. A new committee to take
| charge of the music (Aprl, 1894 was added
and later Junior committee to assist
with the Junior Endeavor Society. 1t seem
| ed to the older members strange at first,
| though altogether delightful, to have so many
new workers and such willing ones. Many
of the new workers of that winter are to-
l day among our most trusted members. We
