THE Sunshine of Paradise Alley" was
presented by good company to good
house at Hancock hall last Friday even
ing. The play, which conveys a forcibe
temperance lecture, was we'll presented

The singing was feature of the perform
ance, and was far above the average af-
forded by theatrical companies. Both the

A.W. King, A.W. Greely and P. II. STRAIT
ton, the committee appointed at the re-
cent business mems meeting to take in
hand the matter of having Ellsworth
made the terminus OF the Washington
County railroad, went to Eastport yester-
day for conference with the officers OF
the road. Their report is not encouraging
to those who hope for the change. While
the management of the Washing ton
County road is undoubtedly in favor OF
Ellsworth as the terminus, they appar-
emily feel that he change cannot be made
now without expense out of proportion
to the returns the pad would receive.
The road was without any figures as to
the robable cost, or what land would be
needed for terminal facilities No survey
Of the route from the present terminus
into Ellsworth has been made. The
Washington County officials in effect
referred the committee to the Maine Cen
tral. The committee will arrange con
ference with Maine Central officials.
