are set on it, and you hear it talked

= arth,s Poor Contract.

The contract for the care of the poor
Of Ellsworth, which has been held for
The past twenty years by Harry S.
Zones, expired this month, and the
board OF aldermen is now considering
bids for new contract. Several bids
lave been received, the amounts not
being made public as yet.
The making of contract for the
care of the poor of Ellsworth is a
very important matter. 1t is matter
which closely concerns every tax pay
sr in the city because of the amount
Of money involved, but it concerns
sven more vitality the unfortunate
poor Of the city, whose interests and
very existence are involved. 1t is
matter which demands the careful and
Ddicious consideration of the alder
men. The interests of the taxpayers
must be looked after in not making
the expense heavier than necessary;
at the same time, it will not do to be
Parsimonious, for it is safe to assume
chat if The contractor finds he has
taken the contract at an Improbable
fgure, the poor, and not the con-
tractor, viii be the sufferer.
The board should also consider the
long and efficient service of Mr.. Jones.
During the twenty years he has looked
sitter the interests of the poor, there
have been no complaints. He has
done more than his simple duty under
the contract in aiding the poor of the
sity. His long experience has given
him a knowledge of pauper laws
which has saved the city many dollars.
We have it on the authority of one of
the leading lawyers of the city that
10 man in Maine is better posted on
the pauper laws than Mr.. Jones.
For these reasons, Mr.. Jones is re-
sewing the endorsement of many of
Che tax payers of Ellsworth regard
less of party, in his bid for the con-
tract for another five years. THE
AMERICAN unhesitatingly adds its
endorsement.

O. f. Fellows for Speaker.

The boom of Oscar F. Fellows, OF
Kucksport, for speaker of the House
at the next Maine legislature, has
been launched. All of Hancock
county will get behind him and boost
him into the high Office, which he is
we'll qualified to fill.
An Augusta press correspondent
says of him:
he was one Of the ahiest and most genial
x1embers of the legislature that has just
adjourned. A skilled parliameniarian ana bril-
liant speaker. he is admirably qualified to fulhH
me duties Of the position.
Two other candidates mentioned
are Rep. Pettengill, of Rumford Falls,
and Rep. Webb, of Portland. MIR.
Webb, however, may not return to
fhe next legislature.
The following from the Bucksport
correspondent of the Bangor Com
xaercial, shows how they feel about
Mr.. Fellows candidacy over in his
home town:
The signal ability shown by Representative
q. +. Fellows, through the session just closed
ct Augusta. as debater, orator and parlia-
xlentsrian, places within his reach the speaker
snip of the next House. His constituents,
Without reference to party, are justly pleased
with his services and standing with his
colleagues. and deeply appreciate the high
compliment paid the town and Mr.. Eel
sows Ia thus early selecting him as a prominent
candidate for the high position which Bucks
port has not received since the early sixties,
when the late Hon. L. C. woodman SO ably
rresided over the Legislature.

When boy turns his bullying pocket inside
out we marvel at the quantity and variety of
articles he has slowed away. Odd lengths of
string. marbles, horsechestnuL top, brass
nails, hickory nuts, an apple, and many more
articles are garnered by this snapper up Of
unconsidered triGes". We think the collection
must be hard on boys pocket. And II Is.
But do we ever think of the variety and miscel
lany of the substance we put into the pocket OF
our stomach? There's the apples and the nuts,
and things besides suite as indigestible as brass
nails and with no more food value than so
many marbles. And yet we wonder that the
stomach "gives OUT. When the stomach breaks
down under the strain of careless eating and
irregular meals II can be perfectly and perma-
nently restored to health and strength by the
use Of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Di-cov-
cry The action of this medicine on the stomach
and other orgaBs Of digestion and nutrition Is
so marked, that relief from disease Is at
once experienced, and the headaches, liver
s.troubles", kidney disorders, skin eruptions and
other symptoms Of diseased stomach are
quickly cured. Whenever the use OF q laxative
medicine IS indicated, use DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They act In harmony with the dis
coveryn and assist its action by purging the
bowels of foul Accommodations.

"THE SAILOR PREACHER. -
Rev. Andrew Gray, Prominent In Free
Baptist Church, East Surry, Dead.

Rev. Andrew Gray, Prominent In Free
Baptist Church, East surry, Dead.
SURRy, March 25 Especial Rev. An
drew Gray, whose death occurred Sun
day evening at the home OF Simon Flood,
where he has been tenderly cared for
during the many months OF his illness,
was born In the town OF Brooksville Sept.
2, 1928. His parents were Josiah and
Sarah Morey Gray. His grandfather
Christopher Gray, was the first American
child born in what is now the town of
Castine. He lived to be more than 100
years old.
Thus Andrew came from hardy race,
which accounts for the many hardships
he endured in his younger days while a
sailor. At the age of seven years his
father moved from BrooksviIIe to Pick
ering's Island which event ended the
school days OF young Andrew. He lived
on that island until he was fourteen
years OF age. At that age be was con-
verted and baptized by Elder Macon Der,
a Baptist minister.
Soon after that event he commenced to
go to sea--a hard life for boy convert.
AS sailor, he ran many hsrdships which
those who have known him will recall as
told by him from the pulpit as well as in
conversation. He was in the Bay of Che
lour in the big gale of 1851, when $50 sail
ors lost their lives, and he was made a
cripple for the rest of his life.
At the age OF nineteen he married Miss
Hannah Howard. OF Brooksville, by
whom he had nine children, of whom
only three are iiving-DanieI, OF Bar Har-
Dor; Otis, OF BrooksviIie, and Mrs. Grace
Davis, of Bar Harbor. Two sons gave
their lives to their country In the war of
the rebellion. From one he has drawn a
pension for some years which has been
his support since he could not preach.
Dea. Gray became connected with the
Free Baptist church in 1867 by joining the
church in Otis, of which he remained
a member until called to join the church
preached as a licentiate for the Baptist
church. He was licensed to preach by the
Ellsworth quarterly meeting, and in 1871
was ordained.
He has travelled hundreds of miles to
preach in schoolhouses, halls or churches
wherever he could gather congrega-
ton. He organized two Free Baptist
churches, baptized eighty-tive persons,
and married a great many couples. He
said to the writer a few months ago that
of ell the couples he had joined In mar
risge, he never knew but one separation.
He seemed very proud of that record. He
was noted for his quaint sayings and
sailor phrases, both in and out OF the
pulpit, and became known as the ''ssilor
preacher.
A year ago be settled all his worldly
affairs, erected monument at the grave of
his first wife at Otter Creek, Mt. Desert,
left money In the hands of John B. Red
man, of Ellsworth, to pay his burial
charges, and made arrangements with IL.
w. Dunn. clerk of the Ellsworth quar-
terly meeting, to take charge OF his body.
The funeral was held at the Free
Baptist church, Ellsworth. Rev. Mr..
Mosher, pastor of the Bangor Free Bap-
fist church, preached the sermon. The
sailor preacher will long be remembered
by the Ellsworth quarterly meeting and
throughout the county.

Market Fishing for Trout Prohibited
in Hancock County.

Market Fishing for Trout Prohibited
In Hancock County.
1t is against the law to sell trout in
Hancock county, or to catch trout in the
county for sale. This is one of the special
| laws made by the legislature this winter.
As told in THE AMERICAN some weeks
ago, petitioners from all over the county
as the legislature to ensct a law to put q
stop to market fishing In the county.
The need for such a Law was clearly set
| forth In the petition as follows:
The undersigned petitioners, citizens and tax
payers In the county OF Hancock, respectfully
represent that the trout fishing in this county,
for the preservation of which the government
ard State have be and still are expanding
| large sums annually, IS being jeopardized by
market fishing. Hancock county is peculiarly
situated In this regard, because Bar Harbor and
other coast resorts offer a ready market for trout
at fancy prices. There are a few men In the
county who have made business for several
seasons pact of hshing for the Bar Harbor mar
ket. We are reliably informed that one man
made semi-weeky trips through the principal
fishing sections of the county, buying trout at
the doors and urging men to fish for him. This
man paid twenty five cents pound, and took
all the trout he could get. The temptation was
great for men TO fish for him, and result
many of the streams in the county were almost
stripped Of fish. Many of the fish offered for
sale barely cleared the iive-ineh law. one man
who fished for this Bar Harbor dealer says he
caught last season s.77e brook trout. The drain
on the brooks when even few men are engaged
In this market fishing can be realized from
these figures. Each season the business is
growing larger We believe it is not the spirit
of the fish and game laws of the State of Maine,
nor the object of the annual expenditure of
thousands of dollars by government and State,
TO furnish trout for the table of summer
visitors, but rather to improve the condition
of Maine a great hunting and fishing State.
The petition, and the bill which was
presented to the legislature, met no oppo-
sition. Indeed, the only objection made
to the petition was that it did not state
the case strongly enough. Letters from
different parts OF the county called atten-
tion to wholesale netting and dynamiting
OF fish, which had come to the knowledge
of the writers.
Following is the law as enacted by the
Legislature:
Section /. ItTshall be unlawful to FISH for.
take. catch or kill any trout inlany of the waters
lying wholly or partly In the county of Hancock
for sale.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be unlawful for any person.
at any time, TO SELL either directly or indirectly
any trout In Hancock county.
Sec. 8. Whoever violates any of the proyis-
ions of this act shall be subject to fine Of not
more than thirty nor less than ten dollars for
each ofense, and an additional fine of one dol
lar for each trout taken, caught killed or sold In
violation of this act.

Griggs has been formally accepted by

future. In other words, no other

Republicans are beginning to realize
that congressional action may be
necessary to stop the wholesale dis
reimbursement of voters in southern
states. Senator Burrows, of Michi-
gan, who will be chairman of the
Senate committee on. privileges and
elections, said on the subject: "The
new Maryland ballot law is very
likely to bring to the attention of
Congress various so-called disfran-
chisement laws, and open up the
whole question of representation in
Congress on the basis of men who are
not legal voters under state laws.
Congress does not desire to discuss
these subjects, but, in my opinion, the
question will be forced upon us for
determination by the unwise action of
some of the states. We have now
before us the example of great
state, endeavoring to disfranchise
some 1000 citizens in order to give
one political party control of the
legislature. There is no fear of negro
domination; that is not the excuse for
the law. Certain democrats seek to
control the affairs of the state, and to
accomplish this purpose to disfran-
chise a sufficient number of the
opposite party. 1t is nothing more
than this"

The position of general business is

by increased activity of retail opera

some Atlantic seaboard cities, which
is considered the forerunner of a
generally good spring trade, says
Dun's Rerieao. New enterprise is re-
Elected in the largest demand for
many months for builders hardware
and general materials, aud contracts
for prompt delivery of all structural
goods are very difficult to place.
Collections are prompt, and railroad
tonnage is well maintained. Foot
wear is firmly maintained for staple
lines, although high priced grades are
easier. Some decrease in demand
does not disturb producers, as
factories are busy on contracts that
will require months to fill. Orders for
boots have exceeded last years to
date, with trade most active at the
South. Buyers who recently left
Boston are now sending in orders
freely. Especial activity is noticed in
the local market for patent and
enamel shoes. Leather is in good de-
mand, particularly for sole, but quota
tions are unchanged, although stocks
are light. Hides at Chicago have
declined almost steadily for two
months, the net fall in the average of
ten grades amounting to ~ per cent.

lines, foreign hides are tending up,
