And that's what Ellsworth Is doing
just celebrating; giving vent to her pent-
up enthusiasm.
THE DECORATIONS.
The display Of bunting in Ellsworth
this week Is the most elaborate in which
the city has ever INDUCED. The business
section Is smot hered in bunting. A list
OF the business men who have decorated
Is practically a directory OF the city. 1t
would be comparatively easy to give list
OF those VINO nave not OtCOEateu.
Professional decorators have been at
work night and day for several weeks,
and the demands for their services have
been 80 great that some orders could not
be filed. That is why more houses along
the line OF march are not decorated.
The decorations at night are even more
striking than by day. St.ings Of red,
white and blue incandescent electric
lights stretch across Main street at fire.

Of the features OF the decorations by
nigh and day.
SPECIAL POLICE.
Best OF order has been maintained by
City Marshal Donovan, Night Officer
Lord, and the special policemen appointed

With blare Of brass bands, q blaze OF
bunting and noise OF many faktrs, Ellis
worth's big merchants carnival aud fair
opened yesterday morning. The fun will
be fast and furious In Ellsworth for three
days this week.
1t il not often the staid city Of Ellis
worth cuts loose In this way. 1t has been
the custom about once In two years to
celebrate the glorious fourth In the old
fashioned way, but to get gloriousiy gay
for three whole days In succession-days
twenty-four hours long-is something
she IL not accustomed to. To be sure the
Hancock county fair has been an annual
three-day feature for several years, but
that takes the people away OF up to
Wyman park, and for the greater part OF
fair days II might AZ well be Sunday on
the business streets.
The merchants' carnival feature
changes this. Every forenoon and even
ing the scene OF merriment shifts from
Main street to Wyman park and back
again to the business section. The
crowds that throng the streets In the
forenoon follow the band-wagon to Wy
man park In the afternoon.
Ellsworth has been storing up energy
Tor this celebration for a year. The 26th
OF last February she had a birthday-1c0
years old-and never SO much as moved
an eye-las Fourth OF July passed, and
she saved her breath and powder while
others celebrated. Old Home Week set
most OF the State wild, but Ellsworth
calmly looked on while OF hers shook
hands.
Then suddenly she awakened to the
fact Of all these neglected opportunities.
Somebody said: "Let's celebrate our CEN
tenniaI." "No," said somebody else, "our

Ellsworth put up remarkably good
game, considering the fact that the men
In 1t had never before lined up together.
They played good defensive game, but
weak ON the offensive. McGown and
Bellatty were the stars for Ellsworth.
Barrows, U. of M. man, was the star
on Bar Harbor's team. He hit the line
hard, and once made ia clean breach
through it for a thirty .tive-yard run.
F. Corners was another good man on the
Bar Harbor team. He also made good
run, and 1t was he who made the touch
down. These two runs and another by
Richardson were the only long gains in
the game, and the ball was not punted
once.
DRAWING HORSES.
Three teams competed in the drawing
contest-those of E. p. Leland, Trenton I,
H. w. Black, Mariaville, and Daniel
Mckay, North Hancock. The contest
was very close between the Leland and
Black teams. Mr.. Blacks team did not
haul as much as Mr.. Leland's, but when
allowance was made for the lighter
weight OF his team he won by q narrow
margin. Mr.. McKay's horses did not
make their usual good showing.

THE PRESIDENT SPENDS PART OF A
DAY IN THE FOREST CITY,
And Returns to Canton i'm the Even
Leaves for Washington To-Day.

CANTON, O., April 25.-President Nc
KihIey visited Cleveland to-day and re-
turned TO Canton at 5 o'clock this even
ing. In Cleveland the entire time was
passed at the Duncan home until a few
minutes before train time, when a snort
drive was taken on the way to the station.
There were no political callers at the Dun
can home, but a number of personal
friends dropped in to pay their respects,
and quite a number of little people found
their way to the President and were re-
warded with a much coveted handshake.
All along the route interest was mani
tested in the going and coming Of the
Presidents train. Station platforms were
thronged and cheers greeted the approach
ing and departing trains. AT the numerous
shops and factories along the way workmen
waved their greetings from windows or
from positions along the track, and en-
ployes and passengers On passing trains
extended their greetings. AT the little vii
lage of Peninsula. the pupils of the public
schools arranged a patriotic demonstra-
ton. They lined up along the tracks. sup
porting a large American flag and waved
and cheered as long as the train was in
light.
The President has not entirely escaped Of
fce-seekers during this visit. Prof. T. M.
Norton, of the faculty of the University of
Cincinnati, aspires to the consular service
and came here in company with Rev. DR..
Edmonds, of Cincinnati, pastor of the
Presidents Canton church during the last
campaign.
Mrs. ]. living Brooks. of Sewickley, Pa,
wife of Vice President Brooks, of the Penn
sylvania railroad, came here this after
noon to visit Mrs. Mckinley and will go to
her home tomorrow on the presidential
train. Capt. and Mrs. Lafayette McWil-
liams, Of Chicago. are coming here to-
morrow to join the presidential party in
the trip to Washington. Mrs. McWilliams
is Mrs. McKinley's cousin. The special
train will leave here about 4 O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon and will reach Pittsburg in
time to connect with the regular Wash
ington train.
Mrs. Mckinley seems to be greatly en-
joying her visit here and friends says she
seems TO be in better health than usual.
She took several extended drives about the
city to-day.

And the Proposed Appropriation for
Its Extension Is Stricken Out
OF the .POstofice Bill.
HAWAIIAN BILL APPROVED
CONFERENCE REPORT FINALLY AC-
CEPTED BY THE SENATE.
AGRICULTURAL Appropriation Bill
Passed, and the Alaskan Measure
Discussed for an Hour.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The House to-
day put it's heel upon the pneumatic mail
tube service now in operation in New York.
Boston and Philadelphia. and If its action
stands the whole service will be crushed
out. The postoffice committee had recon-
mended an increase of the appropriation
for this service from s225.00 to S725,0 600. The
proposed increase was attacked by the APP
preparations committee under the leader
ship of Mr.. Moody. of Massachusetts,, with
such vigor and success that in the end the
House voted-S7 to Soto strike the entire
appropriation from the bill. Mr.. Moody
created a sensation by the manner in
which he assailed the methods of the pneu-
matte tube company and the direct charge
that a former member of Congress, who
was a member of the appropriations COM
mittee, had been a holder of the stock and
bonds of the company. He declined 20 dis
close the gentleman's name. He added to
the scandal by charging that a block of
stock had been sent as a New Years gift to
a near relative of another member of Con-
gress, but to the credit of the member, he
said, the ~dishonoring gift had been returned
to the sender by the next mail. Although
the tube service was highly commended by
other members, the revelations trans
formed the sentiment of thesHouse, which
has several tins voted. for the tube service.
into a decisive majority against its contin-
uation in any form. In the course of his
speech Mr.. Moody assailed the whole his
tory of the pnuematic tube service. 1T
is so malodorus from beginning to end"
said he, that it should die the death of a
dog"
Smoke the rascals OUT" cried Mr.. Little,
and we on this side of the House will
stay with you"
Mr.. Moody said it was not a pleasant
thing for him to exploit the scandal. which
had been uncovered by the postal commit
tee, of which he was a member, but he
considered it his duty to do so.
He declared that former Assistant
Postmaster General Nelson, under whom
the first experiment in the pneumatic tube
service was made. when he retired ac-
copied from the company 1900 in cash and
$4,000 in stock for his services here during
the succeeding year. What that service
could be Mr.. Moody said he could not
imagine.

mail clerks, but it went out on a point of
order.
At the opening of the session VIM. II.
King, who served in the Fffty-ffth Con-
gress from the State of Utah, was sworn
in as a representative OF that State to sue
coed Brigham III. Roberts, who was denied
a seat.

LONDON. April 26.-The -Constantinorle
correspondent OF the Daily Telegraph says:
The Porte considers that its offer to re-
build the American structures burned at
Harpoot will close the question. 1t bases
this belief on news that Russia has init
mated an intention to oppose any sttempt
on the part OF the United States to enforce
payment"
Inquiries made at the British Foreign Of
fee here confirm the dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Associated Press saying
that in view OF the steps taken by the
United States regarding claims arising out
of the Armenian massacres the embassies
of Great Britain. France, Austria. Italy
and Germany nave asked their govern
ments TO instruct them as TO their similar
claims. 1t is also learned the British gov
eminent has not yet answered its ambas-
sadcr's request for instructions and con-
templates individual action. While the at
titude of her Majesty's government is one
OF regret that the British claims have come
to this stage, IL will cooperate in any plan
decided on by the other powers concerned.
1t is not believed at the Foreign Office.
however, that joint action will take the
form OF an ultimatum or anything but
protests. Should the continental powers
agree on insisting that they be treated on
the same basis as the United States they
will only have a lukewarm follower in
Great Britain. Lord Salisbury desires no
further complications at present.

PLANTS OF BREWERS.
Say the Extra War Tax of 81 n
Barrel on Beer Is Onerous.

WASHINGTON, April ga large dele
cation representing the brewers of the
United States appeared before the ways
and means committee to-day TO urge the
repeal of the extra 81 a barrel imposed on
beer by the war revenue act. The delega-
ton was sent by the board of trustees of
and included the president of the associa-
ton. Rudolph Brandt of Chicago; the vice
president, N. w. Kendall, of New Haven,
and others. Representatives Bartholdt. of
Missouri, and Rupert, of New York, who
have taken an active interest in the legis-
lation, also were present. President Brandt
made the main presentation and in part
said:
Congress imposed this additional war
tax upon our product in spite of the fact
that fully two-thirds OF the legitimate
revenue sources of the country resorted TO
in 1862 and 1863 remained wholly untaxed.
We paid this exorbitant and unjust extra
taxa tax representing 40 per cent. of the
price OF our product-during two years;
we paid it. candidly speaking. under silent
protest; we paid il under industrial and
commercial difficulties which brought to
many OF US utter ruin, 70 some of us a

and TO all of us such a measure of fnan-
ctal embarrassment as nc industry in the
world has ever been exposed TO by the law
makers OF Its W country. The effect upon
the whole trade is clearly demonstrated
by the fact that during the past year of
unprecedented affiuance in all branches of
American m and industry the pro-
duction of beer has decreased by one mill
lion barrels, and this disastrous effect. the
economic result of the double war tax, is
felt not only by the brewers, by the grow
ers Of barley, of corn and Of hops, but
also by very many important industries
which depend almost exclusively upon
brewing, and particularly by the great
mass of consumers"
In reply TO questions Mr.. Brandt said the
tax on beer amounted to seventy million
dollars a year. by far the largest tax coll
lected OF any article. and that the brew
ers had paid the largest part OF the tax.
probably two-thirds. as they had not been
able to have consumers pay more than a
third of the tax. If the tax had been paid
by the consumer the diminution would lave
reached three or four million barrels a year
instead of 100000. The committee ad-
journed without taking action on this and
requests from other interests which will
be considered later.

The only feature to-day in the case was a
statement from the frontier that the sus-
poets were simply using dynamite for fish
ing purposes. A Niagara Falls IN. ~

of the men as persons he had been after
for using dynamite TO kill fish in the
Niagara river. This is positively denied in
a special from Niagara Falls, Ont, in
which Chief Young, of the Canadian 'front.'

identified. The story is generally dis
credited by the Canadian officials who are
working on the case.
