MASONIC BLOCK.
Ellsworth Nasons Talk of Erecting
Handsome Building

A masonic building in Ellsworth, l.,
cussiun il Ellsworth fOr several years,
seems now g. lave taken d finite form.
At tbe last ines stin. of L7gonit lodge, -.
aud A. M, II committee con poseu OF
George A. Parcher, Etmer L. Rowe Al q
+. {. Burrill was appoin, ed to Investigate e
as to the feasibility IT the plan and re-
port at the next regular meeting
The matter is now being actively "talk-
ed up', and the general sentiment is in
favor of the building. There are some
thing like 400 Nasous in EIisWorl n, and
it seems a. If they should nave some
suits BILE musonic home.
The committee has looked at several
pieces of pr rJperty suitable rs sites for the
building, the one most III favor being at
the corner OF Hancock and Main streets,
buildings owned by George A. Parcher
and Messrs. Thorn and Pember, OF Ban
gor 3Hzs Ez - III
v nile it is TOO carry TO talk of details,
the idea now seems to he 10 build brick
block, costing from $4,000 TO S25, 900,
which would be al ornament to the city
1t is propost d to tave hree stores or Il e
ground floor, offices on the second floor,
lodge rooms on the third floor, with
suitable provision for ma, onic club
rooms and banquet room.
TO build such building the CO.
operation OF all the masonic societies in
the city is needed, and doubtless will he
given. 1t is suggested that a buiining
corporation be- formed. and stock issue d
to different societies or TO individuals.

ROYAL
Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-
healthful articles Of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

Alum used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. 1t costs less than two cents pound.
Alum is corrosive poison. Think of feeding it TO chill
dren Yet the manufacturers of well-known alum
powders actually denying that their goods contain it.

Won by Ills Retort.

At one of their joint discussions
which took place In Kentucky some
years ago Tom Stuart, then editor OF
the Winchester Democrat gave his Op
ponent, |. \. Boone. a descendant OF
the great Daniel. a blow that fairly
knocked him out of the race for the
legislature.
Boone was making his regular speech
and at the proper place In it he refer
red to the matter of his relation to the
toiling masses. My friends" said he
holding up n pair of hands that looked
as if they had not been washed in n
week, Ito let you see for yourself that
| am horny handed son of toll, ask
you TO look at these hands, and" turn
ing to Stuart. Il would ask my pale
faced young friend from the city what

Stuart was on his feet In a minute.
Il do not desire to embarrass my dis
tiuguished opponent, ladies and gentle
men," he said. with bow. but |
would say that ! think that they need

1t was such an apparent case that
the crowd took hold at once with a
shout. and Boone was completely floor
ed. and later Stuart was elected. Ar

Death of Judge Haskell.

Hon. Thomas II. Haskell, associate
justice of the Supreme Court, died at his
home in Portland, Monday afternoon, at
2.30 O'Clock from ulcer OF the intestines,
aged 81 years. A widow survives him.
Judge Haskell had been In i'll health for
months, though until few days ago
his disease was thought to be acute
gastritis.
Early in the month he went to Range
ley lakes with Mrs. Haskell, where they
remained for two weeks. Judge and
Mrs. Haskell arrived here, Monday the
18th instant and took rooms at Hotel
Coburn. On Tuesday the 18th, Judge
Haskell opened court in the forenoon
with much difficulty because of his
illness, and on Saturday, received the
report of the grand jury, adjourned court
and left on the 1850 p. m. train for
home.
He weakened rapidly during the trip
and had 10 be assisted to a carriage on
his arrival In Portland and carried into
his house. He failed steadily and re-
manned in an unconscious condition for
the greater part of the time.
Judge Haskell had for years been
recognized as one of New England e
foremost jursts. He was born in New
Glouchester In lS43, educated in Norway
Academy and later read law with
Judge Nahum Morrill, of Auburn. lie
was admitted to the Androscoggin bar
in 1868. In 1866 he removed to Portland
and associated himself with the late
Judge Goddard under the name OF God
dard & Haskell, a partnership continu
ing until Judge Goddard's elevation
to the superior bench in 1868. He then
formed partnership with United
States Justice Nathan Webb, lasting
until Judge Gibbs appointment to the
District court
From that time until his appointment
to the Supreme bench, to fill the vacan-
cy created by the resignation of Elk
Judge Joseph h. Symonds, March 81 1884
he practiced sngly, taking high rank
among Names attorneys. His elevation
to the bench was by unanimous request
of the Cumberland bar. He was reap.
pointed in 1891 and again in 1898.
