worth high school. The pupils Of tie
scho d, with teachers, occupied seats in
front OF the hall. The invocation was by
Mr.. Coar, scripture reading and prayer by
Rev. j. NJ. Adams. There was singing by
the Ellsworth male quartette. Mr.. Coar's
sermon was on the nature OF a true edu-
cation, and its worth. The subject was
presented in an able and interesting
manner.
The rock. crusher Is now running at its
new location on Town house hill. The
rock now being taken out Is being used In
building walk on Oak street, between
Birch avenue and State street. This
crushed rock walk is in the nature of an
experiment. The walk is being thor
oughly built to grade, care being taken to
secure proper drainage. Coarse rock Is
being put In for the foundation and fine
rock for the surface. The walk will be
about two feet deep. II this walk proves
a success, Ellsworth will see more of them
in place OF the expensive plank walks.
The situation in China, which in the
past few days has developed rapidly from
riot to war In W bich the great powers of
the world, including the United States,
are engaged, has increased the anxiety OF
Ellsworth relatives and friends OF Miss
Mary l.. Burnhsm, missionary at Chi
nanfu. The city has population OF 200, 600,
and is guarded by Chinese regiment. As
long as they had the protection OF these
soldiers against the "boxers", little
anxiety was felt, but with war declared
and the possibility that native protection
may be withdrawn from the missions, the
situation OF foreign missionaries In the
interior towns becomes serious.

The EiIsworth and Bangor high school
| teams played close and interesting
game at Wyman park Saturday. The
game was devoid of brilliant plays, but
the game. He came to the park directly
from work, and went into the box with
out bit of preliminary warming up.
After he had given the first three or four
| Bangor men bases on balls, the visitors
smiled in giee. 1t Cooked dead easy, as
| they put it. Three runs in the first and
two in he second, and then Dunn settled
down to steady work. Three straight
strike-outs in the third inning made the
visitors look foolish. From that out the
work OF Dunn and Brady was excellent,
with only fair support. Joy on first
stopped everything that came within
mile OF him, and saved some pretty wild
throws. The game was won by Ellis
worth by a score OF l2-ll. The home
team did not have to play its half of the
ninth.
