"Have by some surgeon, Shylock. on thy
charge to stop his wounds lest he do bleed to
death" People can bleed to death. The loss of
blood weakens the body. 1t must follow that
gain of blood gives the body strength. The
strengthening effect of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is In large part due to Its
action on the blood making glands and the In
creased supply of pure, rich blood IL produces.

Domestic Financing.

''The secret Of domestic finance is to
make little money go long way" writes
Frances Evans in Ladies' Home Journal.
sThe old axiom about saving the pennies
and letting the pounds take care of them
selves is not the natural policy of Ameri-
cans; only the frugal Scotch and French
know that rule by heart. But women
could learn it better than men, because
their minds dwell more naturally upon
little things. II they are rarely great
financiers they are frequently successful
small financiers.
Make woman responsible for an allow
ance, and she feels the interest OF a junior
partner; pay her bills, and she is put on
the footing OF an inferior. There is q
feeling Of ignominy about asking man
for car fare, so cents, 30, or even 800, dis
agreeable beyond expression to woman
with any pride or Independence. Now
that women are thin king more for them
selves than in the past, independence is
becoming naturally part of their creed.
This independence cannot be choked out"

OBITUARY..
SOLOMON Y. KELLIHER.

SOLoMON v. kELLlHER.
Solomon Y. Kelliher, one of EIIsworth's
esteemed citizens and Grand Army
veteran, died Saturday evening. Mr..
Kelliher has been in poor health many
years, but kept about as usual until two
days before his death. On the morning
of Memorial Day he came down town to
participate, as he had so many years, with
his comrades OF the Grand Army post in
the exercises OF the day. He was taken
i'll and carried to his home on Beal avenue.
He failed rapidly, sinking into uncon-
seriousness, and passing quietly away.
Mr.. Kelliher was born at Mariaville
Sept. 4, 1885. He came to Ellsworth in
1857, and worked at numbering. When
the Civil War broke out he was one of the
first to volunteer, enlisting in Co. b,
Sixth Maine regiment, the "fghting reg
iment". Co. B was the first company or
ganized in Ellsworth. Mr.. Kelliher be-
came corporal OF his company. He lost
his health In the service, and was dis
charged on account OF dise bility.
In 1876 he was appointed keeper of Pond
Island light house in Narraguagus bay,
which position he held four years. He
returned to Ellsworth and for several
years worked at carpentering, until fall
ing health compelled his retirement.
Mr.. Kelliher was a loyal member of
WIN. II. HI. Rice post, g. A. r. He was a
good citizen and had the respect of all
who knew him. He leaves a widow and
Que daughter, Mrs. Fred L. Mason.
Funeral services were held at the house
this forenoon, Rev. A. H. Coar, of the
Unitarian church, officiating. Members
of the G. A. X. post were in attendance,
and officiated as pail bearers.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Ellsworth Veterans Tributes to De-
parted Comrades.

phFteu COmFaueS.
Memorial Day was observed In Els
worth according to time-honored custom
by VIM. H. H. Rice post, G.. A. II. Early
in the morning the various attachments
from the post started on their loving
errand to the cemeteries, where flowers
and flags we're placed upon the graves OF
comrades who had been mustered out.
Owing to the unfavorable weather the
usual services at the soldiers monument
were omitted. Lynch's band gave con-
cert in the square. The members of the
post assembled at the hall, and at 2
O'Clock formed in line, headed by the
band, to escort Hon. John B. Redman,
the orator OF the day, to Hancock hall.
Col. John F. Whitcomb was marshal of
the day.
Hancock hail was well filled. The hall
was appropriately decorated for the day
with the stars and stripes. Col. Whit
comb presided Mayor Greedy, AID.
Stuart and Collector Holmes, represent
ing the city government, and Past Com
manders James Z. Parsons and M. s.
Smith, OF the post, and Revs. J. P. Simon
ton and A. ii. Coar occupied seats on the
platform.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. A. H. Coar. This was followed
by singing by qusrtette, composed of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Kerr, Mrs. Edgar
Strout and B. B. Whitcomb. Miss Min
ME Hodgkins was accompanist.
Col. Whitcomb then presented the
speaker, Mr.. Redman. The address was
patriotic and historical, and was de-
livered with the eloquence for which the
speaker is SO we'll known in Ellsworth.
He reviewed briefly the causes leading to
the Civil war, recalled incidents of par
ticular interest to the Ellsworth grand
army men who heard him, and then
spoke of the progress of the United States
in recent years and of the new place
has now taken.
The exercises closed with the singing
OF america" by the audience. Rev. j.
P. Simonton pronounced the bene-
diction. AS the audience left the hall the
band played "America".
VIM. HI. H. Rice post, through THE
AMERICAN, Wishes to extend thanks to
all who helped in the exercises of the
day, especially to the relief corps for max
ing the wreaths and bouquets, to the
speaker of the day for his fine and able
address, to Mrs. Eugene Hale for beauti
full flowers, to F. B. Aiken for rings, etc.,
and to c. r. Foster for team and flowers.

President Mckinley is so seriously
concerned over Mrs. McKinley's con-

THAT STRANGE FISH.
Henry w. Cushman's Catch at Sim
mons Pond Not Yet Identified.

Henry w. Cushman's Catch at Sim
mons Pond Not Yet Identified.
THE AMERICAN has been trying to
identify the strange fish caught by Henry
w. Cushman at Simmons pond few
weeks ago. Mr.. Carleton, chairman of
the commissioners of inland fisheries and
game, "gives it up" He would have
liked the fish for the State museum, but
unfortunately, through misunderstand-
ing. the cook had the fish served up for
dinner. This is what MIR. Carleton writes
in answer to THE AMERICAN inquiry:
AUGUSTA, May 20. 1901.
To the Editor of The American:
In reply to your favor of the 9th regarding
the fish which Mr.. Cushman caught, asking II L
can tell what 1t was, beg to say that various
kinds of fish like brown trout, Swiss trout, Lock
Leven trout, and other species, have been
planted In various lakes in Hancock county,
and possibly some In Simmons pond. | should
judge this fish was cross between some of
these species and the brook trout or land locked
salmon.
The fish commission of the state of New York
experimental quite extensively in crossing the
various kinds of fish, and they got some GOO
different varieties from this. Nothing sub
stantial or valuable, however. has resulted from
their efforts, distinct species has ever been
gotten from the experiment.
Crosses have also been made with salt water
fish and trout or land-locked salmon. A sor. of
mongrel breed has been the result. but they
never seemed to have the capacity of further
development; in fact, they seemed to become
mules, SO to speak
If it is not too late, would like to have this
fish mounted for the State museum.
Very sincerely,
LEROY T. CARLETON.

IN MEMORIAM.
This community has been saddened by
| ing of May 81, OF one of its most esteemed
young ladies, Dora Gertrude Connor, at
the age OF twenty-five years. Possessed
of cheerful temperament and kindly
bearing, she had endeared herself to q
large circle OF friends who deeply deplore
her early departure.
Her loss will be felt in the town where
she taught very successfully in the pub
lie schools; In the church and Sunday
school, of which she was devoted MEM
Der and faithful worker, but most keenIy
will she be missed in the home where her
presence brought cheer and comfort.
Those who have witnessed the wonder
full patience and courage which this
young friend has shown through the
many hours Of a trying illness, and the
resignation in giving up cherished plans,
feel assured that it was because of
the abiding presence of the Comforter
that she was enc ied to do this.
All hearts go out in tender sympathy to
father, mother, brother and sister in
their loneliness, and trust that the mem
DRY of such life will rest as a benedic-
tion upon them; while they remember
that, as well as they loved her, God loved
her more.
Impressive funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Norman La Marsh We'd
nesday afternoon at the home of her
father, Wiiliam,G. Conpor. Many came
to pay the last tribute of love and respect,
and the fearful faces and beautiful flowers
attested to the hold that she had upon
the hearts OF the people. With smile of
peace upon her beautiful face she was
tenderly laid to rest to wait the resur-
rection morning.

son or persons unknown, claiming as heirs,

and the said Greedy further specifically
alleges on oath that the persons, names and
residences of each and all OF said supposed
claimants are unknown to him. after diligent

creates cloud upon the said Greely's title to
