thew Morrill,, Grey; 2nd vice president, j.
NJ league, Weld; Sd vice president, c. f.
Wing, Wayne; secretary and treasurer,

The roll-call showed that but three mem
bers, Sergt. James NJ. Studley, Lieut.. War
rem III. Pierce and Joseph Kimball, a men,
Der of Co, L. had died during the past year.
Considering the fact that the regiment had
1880 enlisted men and recruits the number
of deaths during the past year is consider
ed remarkably small.
One of the most important measures
voted at the business session was to erect a
memorial window in honor of Capt. Moses
r. French, the Oldest living officer of the
regiment. This will be placed in the Meth
odist church at Scion, the home of Capt
ton firm and the window will be completed
n time for Mr.. French to see and enjoy it
while living.
The evening was devoted to campfire in
the Grand Army hall. The exercises were
of an informal nature and consisted for the
Mayor Lane who cordially welcomed the
old soldiers and extended to them the free
dom of the city, President-elect Moody
spoke at some length. He said:
'No man is more Independent than the
old soldier. He has a right to be proud and
Independent. If it had not been for him
the country would not be in its present
prosperous condition. Although he is proud
and Independent he is sensible to the wishes
OF others, but, nevertheless, he is pleased to
be treated with respect.
"How many memories this city brings
back. We were young then and it was here

travelled great deal and cannot remember
a more beautiful place than this. wonder
if you people who live here all the time ap-
preciate the city in which God Almighty has
placed you. There are no cities prettier any,
where than those on the Kennebec and
PenObScOt."

now prominent lawyer in California

Hon. Charles Sumner Cook, member
of the Governors Council for the Cum
berland district, tells the Portland Press
that he does not think the defeat of the
amendment to provide a State auditor
would be any loss OF detriment to the
State. although perhaps an auditor
whose functions could be properly lin
tied might have been of some advant-
age. Mr.. Cook was very emphatic in
his opinion that the Governors Coun-
Gil was an entirely competent and bus
iness-like auditing board. The idea that
the Council was an agency of laziness
and extravaganza arose from miscOn-
ceptions as to the financial system of
the State and the relations of the Coun-
Gil thereto, This knocks the bottom en-
tirely out of the arguments advanced in
favor of the adoption of the auditors
amendment. The prime cause of its
defeat, however, was the impression,
which largely prevailed among the plain
people, that there are already too many
high salaried officials at the State cap
ital.

Camden has had an object lesson this
year as never before upon the necessity
of more summer hotel accommodations.

and boarding house in town was refus-

and were unable to wait until later in
the season. What is the use of BOOM

The Waldo county fair this year was
not only success in itself but the fore
runner Of greater successes in the fu-
ture. People have often said, why can
not Belfast have successful fair as well
as other places? but to explain the
causes of past failures would be to
bring up matters that had better re-
main in semi-oblivion. What we have
future. We have good half mile
track, and with projected improvements
to the buildings will have we'll equip
ped park for fair purposes. Judging
from the remarks heard on the grounds
last week there will be at least two
exhibitors in 1901 for each one in 1900.
Everybody will have something to con-
tribute next year. The ladies are al
ready planning new ventures in fancy
work, the Village Improvement Society
will have an exhibit, and our amateur
gardeners and farmers have been fired
with an ambition. to excel their neigh
bors in displays of fruits and vegetables
The social side of a successful fair is
not its least attractive feature. On the
second day. when nearly five thousand
people We're on the grounds, it was
pleasant to see the general exchange of
friendly greetings and the look of enjoy
ment on every face. The takers were
there, of course. but they were neither
numerous non noisy. and no one gludged
them the dimes and niekels that fell to
their share Now let us all pull to-
gether and have a fair i'll 1901 that will
bring all Waldo county to Belfast.

CHINA. This town was visited by bur
glars at some time last Sunday night. They
entered the post-otfce by forcing the doors
open with bars. They forced open the
money drawers and took a small amour tot
money and stamps and made a strong
attempt to open the safe but did not succeed
evident intention of blowing it open but
seem to have been frightened away before
accomplishing their purpose. Powder was
found on the floor near the safe. Post
master Washburn is also town treasurer
but the towns safe is kept in another room,
which was not entered. The burglars made
a strong attempt to enter the stores of w.
R. Ward and Rowe Brothers without success.

Doubtful Consolation.

Editor Plasted made the New Age look
like a poultry show last week. He had a
colossal rooster over the returns from Knox
County, a smaller one to emphasize Dem
ocratic gain in Augusta, and another to
call attention to the fact that Halowell
made gain. Four flags also appear at
intervals. The comfort that Bro. Plaisted
derives from the Maine election reminds us
of the old story of the man who was killed
in a railroad accident. The family was
shocked by receiving dispatch reading
something like this:
''Nr. Blank had his neck and leg broken in
an accident on the A. Il b. R. r. Very soon,
however, another dispatch was received
which read: Later-NIr. Blank S neck was
broken but not his leg. In view of the fact
that Hills plurality in this election is about
double, or 1000 more than the average
Republican plurality since 1876 the conso-
lation to be derived from the election seems
to US very much like that derived, by the
stricken family from the second dispatch.

equal force to Belfast, although Cam

have no provision for them. We have
been told that the past summer there

From the Chicago Tribune
The efforts 0f Evanstonians to eXterm;-
nate poison ivy are to be commended, for
it is high time that this weedy enemy was
removed from the path of man. A danger
for which man responsible that threat
ems health will be complained Of speedily
but natural foes are more lightly regarded
Perhaps the reason for this is found in
the fact that some people are imperyious
to the ivy evil, can pick it with immunity.
and are rather inclined to ScoT at the sus-
ceptible sufferers But to those who have
memories Of the hours of misery that caroe
unmerited after so innocent a pastime as
picking leaves the subject is serious and
these victims feel that the possibility OF
others enduring the same kind of Offering
ought to he removed.
Of course, the chief danger is for those
who are unfamiliar with the foe and whose
love Of nature Is unmixed with fear For
such people to discover that WordSworlh's
doctrine that mature never did betray the
heart that loved her. is untrue brings the
same shock that comes to the country man
when he learns of the poison ivies that
grow upon city walls 1t will be some
time before this vicious vine can be com
pletely exterminated, but like moral evils
it will finally yield to brave and worthy
efforts.
