The custom OF keeping Lent dates back
thousands of years. The Jews tasted 40
days before the annual sin-off ,ring-in
fact, the number 40 seems to have been as
ISOLATED with he idea OF fasting. There
were, for instance, the 40 days OF the del
uge, the 40 years. wandering OF the chill
dren of Israel; Moses tasted 40 days in
the mount, and so did Elijah in the
wilderness; the Ninevites were allowed 40
days for repentance, and the Saviour
chose to observe the same number Of days
In His fast before the temptation in the
wilderness. Gregory the Great intro
duced the present mode OF observance in
the sixth century. He excluded Sundays
from the number OF fasting days, and
began the fast on the Wednesday before
the first Sunday in Lent, to complete the
40 days.

ALDERMEN MEET.
Last Meeting of Old Board-Mayor's
Farewell to Retiring Aldermen.


Farewell to Retiring Aldermen.
Last Monday evening marked the close
OF one OF the most satisfactory municipal
administrations which IT has been the
good fortune OF Ellsworth to enjoy. 1t
going board. The full board was present.
After the transaction OF regular BUSH
ness, of which there was very little before
the board, Mag or Greedy had few words
OF farewell to say TO the retiring board.
He thanked the aldermen for the cour-
tesies shown him during the year. He
referred to the fact that every meeting
Of tie board had been harmonious;
the whole board had worked together har-
moniously and eonscientiously for the
best interests of the city. From COM
ments he had heard, he thought the citi-
zens OF Ellsworth had been pleased with
the efforts OF the aldermen to serve the
city's interests. He said he had almost
hoped, without any reflection on the in
coming aldermen, that the same board
would continue in office another year.
But the powers that govern these things
had decreed otherwise. He hoped and
trusted that the incoming administration
would prove rs harmonious and as sue
cessful rs the outgoing one had been.
Alderman Morsng, speaking for him
self, and he believed for the other MEM
bers OF the board, returned the compli-'
ments which had been paid by the
mayor. He said the past twelve months
had been very pleasant to him. He was
glad that things had been SO harmonious.
He knew that in previous boards there
had been Misunderstanding and hard
feelings, but with this board there had
been none Of that. Politics had not been
allowed to enter into the consideration
of business matters. For himself he could
say that he would have liked to stay In
the board another year, but that being
impossible, he was glad that he could
look back upon the past twelve months
without any regrets.

MAYOR GREELY.
DEMOCRATIC MAYOR RETURNED
TO OFFICE IN ELLSWORTH.
DEMOCRATS ELECT ALDERMEN IN FOUR
OF THE FIVE wARDs-'rHE VOTE
IN DETAIL.

Election day In Ellsworth was IN many
respects one of the most remarkable in
tho history of the city. For the first
time in the history vi the republican
party OF Ellsworth with the exception
OF the years when il joined with the dem
ocrats in the nomination OF a citizens
candidate-the republicans went into a
municipal election without a head to
their ticket, and In one ward, without a
single nomination. The result was that
many republicans did not vote at all,
though in wards where the aIdermanic
fight waxed warm, fairly good vote was
polled. The whole republican ticket,
however, was weakened because OF there
being no candidate tor mayor.
The democrats elected their aldermen in
wards l, 2, and 5. aud the republicans In
ward 3. The surprises were In wards 2
aud 3. Ward 3, which has not elected a
republican since Martin II. Haynes, in
1894, was the only ward to elect republic
can, while ward 2, the "banner republican
ward OF the city,, in which the republic
can nominee for alderman has been beaten
but twice before Tin 1878 and 1881, this
year elected democrat.
The total vote this year for mayor was
only 552. Last year it was 1864. This,
however, Is not n fair comparison. TAX
ing the aggregate vote for aldermen in
the i've wards, 1t Is found that the vote
this year was 70i, against 1 ,o24 last year.
Following Is the vote In detail:

FROM AMERICAN CORRESPONDENTS.
SEAwALL, March 5 Especially The storm
was something terrible here. The sea
washed up into the fields all along the
Seawall Pond Beach road. 1t washed the
beach rocks into the road in such guam
titles that now 1t is not safe for horse to
pass. 1t will take a large number of men
some time to clear the road and get it in
shape again.
The bridge at the outlet OF the pond
was washed from its foundations. A man
from Bass Harbor happened along just in
time to save the planks from being
washed away, and fixed the bridge tenn
porarily SO he was able to pass.
Nearly all day long people were on the
road to the beach, watching the large sea
which was grand spectacle. Much dam
age was done to the lobster traps on the
shore. One man lost several, and had a
boat smashed to pieces.
DUCK ISLAND LIGHT STATION, March
(special)-The gale caused a very heavy
sea and high tide here. The wind went
from e. to S. s. w. The sea came from
8. s. W.
The western boat house was lifted from
Its foundation and landed on the rocks
on the north side, but the building was
not broken.
AT the north end OF the island Mr.. Van
Horns boatways and winch were washed
away, and the sea came up to his dwell
ing house. The sea made breach across
the low part Of the island, and for time
nearly divided it in two.
SEDGwIcK, March (specaD -During
the gales OF the past week several build
ings in this vicinity suffered considerab bic
damage. The barn OF E. P. Cole is minus
one end and part OF one side. Willard
Leighton's barn was completely wrecked.
The schooner "Lizzie Smith" dragged
her anchor, and came near going ashore.
