Maise's Gain In Population.

We had hoped that the census re-
turns would show Maine to have pop
ulation of 700, goo or over. This result
is not quite accomplished, but the ac-
tual figures, 694, 1865, show a handsome
gain that doubtless exceeds general
expe~--.icTs, and which proves in
conclusive fashion that in population,
as we'll as in all else that makes a
state great, Maine is in the progress
i've and not in the decadent class. An
increase OF $3.50 in the past ten
years is a noble showing for Maine to
make when we consider how largely
the life blood of our State is sapped to
give strength to other states.
The significance of this increase is
best understood when we compare it
with the gam in the past few decades.
Between 1880 and 1890 the gain in
population was 12,141; between 1870
and 1880 it was % 900; and between
1860 and 1870 there was decrease in
Names population of L. 1854. Therefore,
in comparison with the results of the
past unr6e decades, our gain of 90, $50
between 1890 and 1900 is most graft
flying, be;ag much larger both actually
and propor.ionaily. 1t shows that
the grand old State which made such
growth in the earlier decades of the
century has taken new lease of life,
and that the outlook for its future is
brighter than it has been for over a
generation.
No state has done more than Maine
to build up other states, but it has
kept good share of it's energy for
home consumption. May it keep
more Of it here in the future, develop
ing our almost limitless resources and
making the State ever worthy of its
proud motto. Here's hope for and
expectation of a population of 30, 200

NEW CHURCH.
The Free Baptist Society of Ellsworth
VIII Build,

Will Build.
The Free Baptist society, OF Ellsworth,
at a meeting last Thursday evening, voted
unanimously to build 9 new church, and
the first steps toward that object were
taken by the appointment Of q soliciting
committee.
Rev. George II. Ssliey, the pastor OF the
church, is the chairman Of this committee,
and takes bold OF the work with the en-
thusiasm and energy that have marked his
efforts toward building up the church and
society since coming TO Ellsworth.
IL Is proposed to build a church costing
about 5000 on the site of the present
chapel st School and Church streets.
Rough plans have already been drawn,
snd have met with general approval of
members Of the society aud the State
association.
The plans contemplate q building 30x5o
feet-50 feet on School street aud 30 feet
on Church street. The entrance will be
on the eastern end Of the building, reac he'd
by a covered walk from Church street.
This will obviste the necessity OF the in
tohfcHiNht ot staus rum Tue CCntOi
street walk to the church grounds.
1t Is proposed to have the audience
room and vestry on one floor, separated
BY a rolling partition so that the two
rooms may be thrown into one large
| room, with q seating capacity Of about
800. Separately, the audience room will
seat nearly 200 and the vestry little
more than 100.
At the main entrance " hich, as already
| stated, will be on the eastern side OF the
building, will be q vestibule about 10x1O,
| running up into a tower. From the
vestibule doors will open into both vestry
and church.
The pulpit will be at the south end OF
the cburcn VIII b pastors room at one side
and choir on the other. The basement
| will be finished OF for the furnace, and in
time, il deemed advisable, provision can
be made IN the basement for kitchen.
l. There will be nothing elaborate in the
architecture OF The building, but 1t will
be neat and slightly structure, aud an
improvement to that section of the city.
1t is hoped to have sufficient funds in
hand to begin work early next spring.

1t is limited that two of the most
popular young men in Bangor, or
eastern Maine for that matter, may
now give IN their measures for uni
forms with considerable assurance
that they will have chance to wear
them early in January. The prophets
say that Representative Frederick H.
Parkhurst, of Bangor, will be the next
commissary- general, and that another
good fellow and widely known prac-
titioner, DR.. E. B. Sanger, of Bangor,
viii be surgeon general. 1t is also

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
North Ellsworth Farmers VIII Have
one This Month.

Arrangements are being made for q far
mers' institute at North Ellsworth,
Saturday, Nov. Il. The general subject
will be small ifuits-siraw berries and
piums principaiiy-but apple culture will
also receive attention. There will be an
interesting programme, probably with
musical features.
Ernest L. Wooster, the STRAW berry
king" Of Hancock Paint, and Willard
Phillips, another big strawberry raiser,
will be present to tax about the cuItiya-
ton OF this most popular berry. State Sec
rotary Mckeen viii also be present, and
probably Prot. Woods, of Orono.
The farmers OF North Ellsworth have
lately entered quite largely in straw berry
growing, and next year will produce
more than ever before. Apples also
flourish in this section, and the farmers
are taking a new interest in modern
methods OF fruit raising. Alderman II.
F. Msddocks is one OF the leaders in this
movement to make North Ellsworth the
fruit growing centre OF Hancock county.
1t Is hoped that the farmers institute
will be largely attended, not only from
North Ellsworth and vicinity, bat from
Ellsworth and neig hbo.ing towns.

Impressive illustration of the waste
OF energy by bad roads is given by the
owner OF an automobile propelled by
electricity, who testifies that with the
storage batteries fully charged his
machine has,in the suburbs of Boston,
a radius of operation of sixty five or
seventy miles. On Maine highways,
the same machine with the same
charge his a radius of only about
twenty miles. That is to say, that
the sane expenditure of power will
propel the same vehicle only about
one third Us far on an ordinary Maine
road as On good Massachusetts high
way. From this it may be inferred that
Maine roads reduce the drawing
power OF animals about two-thirds,
which makes three times as many
animals necessary to draw a given
amount of merchandise as would be
required If the roads were well built.
Trans-og* ion to and from the farm,
therefore, costs about three times as
much as ii ought. The expense goes
on year after year, while a proper
smaller expenditure would
make the highways permanently good.
The farmer would be most benefited
from the good roads. The cyclist,

The announcement Of the popula-
ton Of the United States made by the
census bureau has started speculation
about the effect in apportionment for
members of Congress. 1t is quite GER
tain, however, that several states will
lose one congressman and among
them is Maine. There is hardly any
doubt that the new apportionment
will not be made on any less basis
than 200 600.

most vivid appreciation Of the waste
