sOmely decorated, was entered by the bridal
party to the strains of the Bridal March
from Lohengrin. played by Miss Marie
Wardwell, an intimate friend of the young
ladies. The ceremony was performed in
pleasing manner by Rev. j. W. Hatch of
Winterport, in the presence of the imme-
diate relatives, after which congratulations
were received and refreshments served At
9o'clock the Winterport band, of which Mr.
Harlow is prominent member, quietly
gathered on the lawn and gave a charming
to the house and served with refreshments.
The brides formed a pleasing contrast, one
having very dark hair and eyes, and the
other being light. They were dressed alike
in very handsome gowns of white Swiss

Mrs Harlow wore roses and Mrs. Cole white
pinks and maiden hair ferns. The brides

BASE BALL.

The third game in the High School series,
and the second in which, the Belfasts have
taken part.was played May 25th, ,on the Con-
gress street grounds against the Camdens,
and Belfast was again victorious, this time by
score OF "a to -. Belfast has played and
won 2; Rockland played 2 and won /; Cam
den played 2 and won 0. The Journal does
not believe in the Rockland tactics of abus-
ing the umpire whenever our team gets
beaten, and especially in games between the
members of the schools. Last year Rock
land won the trophy and our boys acknowl-
ed the defeat gracefully. This year we have
SO far outplayed our opponents Now let
our down-river friends stand by the result,
as Belfast will do should the tide turn
against us later in the season. The Camden
team came to Belfast by special trip of the
steamer Castine, accompanied by goodly
excursion party The attendance was larger
than usual. In the first inning Belfast got
3 runs and in the second 1, while Camden
got none in either. In the third Camden
got l and Belfast 0, but in the fourth Bel.
fast evidently got ratified and Camden got
IN runs and base hits, leaving the score
Belfast 4. Camden s. Belfast then braced
up and got in runs, and thus stood ahead.
The game from that time on was even and
interesting. The work of the batteries was
hardly up to their usual playing, and MANY
good hits were made, although the lively
work Of the outfelders prevented MANY of
them from counting. Camden's outielders
took flies and Belfasts 3. Woodcock made
a great throw from third to first and
Shuman and Colby caught flies that caused
great cheering Two-base hits were made
by Brown of Belfast and Sides. Mcdonald
struck out 8 and Webb T. Mcdonald let 5
men get bases on balls and Webb g. Webb
hit with pitched balls. Each side had ten
men left on bases. A handsome double play
was made by Ford, Fernald and Harmon.
O'Connell and Perry were umpires H. 7.

Sadie E. Rockwell was born in Washing
ton. Me, Nov. Is, 1878, and died in the
town OF her birth, aged % years, months
ana b days. She was converted when about
nine years OF age, and continued most con-
SlStent Christian, taking at all times an
active interest in the work of the Sunday
school. When the Methodist Episcopal
church was organized in Washington, She
was received ON probation and was a most
efflclent worker in the same. While in Bos-
ton, last fall, she was baptized and ident-
disease laid hold of her, and she came home,
and was laid aside from active work until
she heard the Masters call, when she
quietly folded her tent and went to be with
Him IN whom is life eternal. She was
girl OF lovable and cheerful disposition and
quiet manner, showing to the very last hour
OF her life kindly consideration for those
about her. She was girl of noble sent-
ment, haa Keen conception of right and in
many trying ordeals OF life showed truly
Christian disposition of forgiveness She will
be missed; but the influence of her life will
abide even though she is gone from US, and
the impression made on the lives of those
who knew her will be lasting. Three sis
ters, Blanche E., Maude E., and Eftie NJ,
survive her, who with her parents have
been called to mourn. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. F. Palladino of

JOHNSON WILL NOT FIGHT
CONTRACTS OF AMERICAN AssOCIA-
TION TO BE RESPECTED.
This VIII BE n Great Help to the New
Baseball Organization-LocaI
Sporting Matters.

The American League will respect the
contracts OF the new American Associa-
ton the coming year and will not tam
per with players who have signed contracts
to play with any OF the clubs OF the new
association. President Ban Johnson has
notified President Hickey, OF the American
Association, TO this effect, saying that the
American League will respect all contracts
of the new association and will not sign
men who have already placed their names
to association contracts.
This action on the part OF President
Johnson shows that the American League
will not wage war against the new base
ball organization. In view of the war be-
tween the two major organizations and
the fact that there is no longer an Amer
lean agreement for the protection Of minor
leagues this action means more than may
appear at first blush. The American
League clubs could afford TO pay larger
salaries than American Association clubs,
and if the former did not respect the lat
ter's contracts players who sign associa-
ton contracts could be secured by Amer
lean League clubs at any time.
President Hickey will meet with the old
Western League magnates at St. Joseph
to-day. The affairs of the old league will
be closed up and the pennant awarded 70
Kansas City and a circuit for a new league
formed, comprising Colorado Springs. Den
yer, Lincoln, Sioux City, DeS Moines and
St Joseph.
