OBITUARY.
EBEN c. CHATTo.

EAST SURRY, Oct. q (speciall-Ebsn {.
Chatto died at Bsooksyilie, Oct. II. He
was born at Deer Isle, May 5, 1887, being
the eldest OF a family OF ten children. He
was educated in the common schools OF The
town. At the age OF seventeen white
swelling came upon his knee, aud he had
to submit 10 an amputstion of his leg.
After his recovery he attended high
school and began to teach, In Witch
vocation he Was very successful AID Is
spoken of TO- day Is one OF the foremost
teachers OF his day in the town OF Deer
Isle. He had very keen mind and great
business ability.
AT the age OF twenty five he married
Lavinia, daughter OF Charles Chatto, OF
Biuehili, and moved to that town where
he engaged in the business Of porgy fish
ing. While resident OF that town he
was converted, and with Others formed
the Free Baptist church, being one OF its
first Geacons. Soon siteraaru he WIS liz
censed by the Ellsworth quarterly meet
ing as preacher, which vocation he fol-
lowed some three years. Being cripple,
and having growing family and large
fishing business to attend to, he could not
go from home TO preach, but continued an
energetic worker IN Sabbath school aud
church.
About 1857 he moved to Brooksvilie and
bought the largest variety store In The
town. Many propbesied that he would
loose what he had gained by hard labor,
but he was of that makeup that knew no
such word as fat. After several years
there he moved to Bucks Harbor ia the
same town, and entered tue granite bust
ness. He built a large store aud wharf,
and made a success Of all his undertake
ings. Besides his large business, he
served his town many years All officer,
either as seiectman or one OF the school
committee. He WAS justice OF the peace,
and did a large amount OF business In
that line.

Secretary Hay, in common with
everybody else in Washington, was
surprised at the announcement of the
Anglo German agreement upon a
Chinese programme, and he was even
more pleased than surprised. With
Germany and England standing
against the dismemberment of China,
land grabbing on the part of any of
the powers. and for the permanent
maintenance of the commercial open
door in China, We are absolutely sure
to get all we desire-an open field and
no favors in the trade of China. 1t
may be that England and Germany
were actuated by desire to head off
Russia, rather than to aid us in hold
ing our trade rights in China, but that
doesn'. concern US. The important
thing about the combination is that it
will aid us. That is sufficient for us.
1t has been the policy of this govern
ment from the first to oppose any dis
membermenJ of China. Therefore,
the Anglo German agreement, what
ever may have brought it about, is an
endorsement of the policy of this
government as announced last July.

REPU BLICAN NOMINEES.
Ex-Secretary sherman Dead

LA~StthCNahs hSNoes
John Sherman, ex-secretary of
State, died in Washington Monday
morning, aged seventy-seven years.
Elected to Congress from Ohio in
1855 at the age of thirty-two years,
his public service from that time to his
retirement two years ago, was con-
tinuous. In House, Senate and presi-
dents cabinets he served with con-
spicuous ability, and several times the
presidency seemed within his grasp.
His greatest reputation was made as
chairman OF the finance committee of
the Senate, and as secretary of the
treasury in President Hayes cabinet.
In these positions he directed the
financial policy of the nation with
consun1mate skill.
Three years ago he resigned the
Office of senator, and soon afterward
was appointed secretary of state by
President Mckinley. He resigned the
secretaryship early in the summer
of 1898.

The Bangor Netcs last week had this to
say OF Bucksport boy:

The Shaw business college enrolled this
week n young man whose career thus far has
been quite remarkable for his years, and who
resigned lucrative government Office to take a
course In business methods, shorthand and
typewrittng. His name Is Frederick w. Smith,
and he halls from Bucssport. where lots of
smart men have been raised. In 1898 when he
had passed his majority but n few weeks. he was
elected member of the board of selectmen, re
ceiving almost the entire vote. having sos bal
lots, the largest number cast for candidate In
years. lie qualified and served In a very salts
factory manner, the youngest selectman In the
county. lie had entire charge of the town ac
counts. and at the end of the year was especially
commented for their neatness and accuracy.
Mr.. Smiths judgment ON the many vexatIous
matters which arise In the affairs of a large town
was considered equal to that of his older asso
ciates, and carried weight accordingly. The
town has a bonded debt, several trust funds,
and n large number of scattered and trouble
some paupers, all requiring careful attention.
Mr.. Smith has also been the assistant postmas
ter of Bucksport for nearly five years. which
position he has filed very acceptably. He Is
one of the proprietors of the Fort Knox steam
laundry, fourishiug enterprise.

President Mckinley is naturally
pleased with the political news he is
getting, which indicates his own
triumphant reelection and the cleo
ton of the republican majority of the
House This news has been growing
more and more convincing since the
registration in a number of states
has been under way. Instead of the
light registration which was feared on
account of over confidence on the
part of the republicans, there has SO
far been a registration which makes
it look as though the popular vote
would exceed that cast four years
ago, which was unusually heavy, and
that makes republican victory as near
certain as anything not yet actually
accomplished can possibly be. Shrewd
political observers are now predict
ing an absolute collapse of the Bryan
campaign before election day and
republican tidal wave. Whether it
viii go that far is, of course, a ques-
ton, but there are certainly signs in
plenty to justify those predictions.

Recently Mr.. Bryan was asked by a
correspondent of the New York
Herald whether he would pay govern
ment bonds in silver if he became
president, and he replied: "Say that
Mr.. Bryan declines to be interviewed
on that subject" He could not say
s'yeso without setting the whole East
and a good part of the West against
him; he could not say "no" without
turning his back on all his silverite
associates and repudiating his
speeches of four years ago.

Mr.. Bryan spoke at Niles, Ohio, the
birthplace of President Mckinley, last
week. This is the weighty ~ argu-
ment he used to lure votes away from
Mckinley: 81 understand that this is
the birthplace of the President of the
United States. You have the honor
now of being in the birthplace of the
President, whether he holds one term
or two. He cannot be born again and
give you another chance. You have
had all you can have out of it,

One Of THE AMERICANS correspondents
writes:
What Is all this hullabaloo about the Deer Isle
sailors that has been going on for the past thr e
or four years. The sailors down there are not
one whit better than hundred or more that
could be picked up in this town of fremont and
