He was the Oldest Clergyman III Name.
Had ExpOunded the Gospel as + rec pap
tist Since 1929.

Rev. Otis Wakefield Bridges, who was the
Oldest preacher in Maine. the dean OF
the Free Baptist clergy, and one of
the most remarkable personalities in the
State. is dead at his home in Fort Fair field.
He was in his 9Sth year. lie preached his
last sermon two years ago. and last July as
sisted in the service at his church.
For ~ years he expounded the teachings
of the Gospel in vigorous but tolerant in
Free Baptist creed. Possessed OF remark
able physique, preserved by perfect habits,
his health was unimpaired until he fell in
to sleep from which he could not be
wakened
over 1000 couples he united in marriage,
and more than twice as many times ne
spoke words of comfort and cheer TO
those who were laden with grief tor the
departed. He had lived with the people
of three generations and remembered them
all.
Rev. Otis Bridges was born in the town
of PenObScot on the eastern shore OF re-
nobscot bay, in Hancock county, Jan. 20
1906 This was the scene of considerable
activity during the war of 1872, and a!thougn
only & years old at the time Mr. Bridges
could recall some OF the events Wnlcn nap
pened at Castine, short distance from MS
home. Particularly vivid was his recollec-
ton of pet calf which his father hid IN
the woods from the British forager>;,
Following his father, young Bridges
when IS years old decided to take up the
ministry and when 2S years old was or.
dained at Lewiston before council OF
which his father. Rev. Abiezer Bridges,
was the chairman.
From that year until within a compare
lively short time before his death MIR.
Bridges preached the Gospel in many
places The most of his life was spent In
Sangerville, where he preached to one con
gregation for over 40 years, although ire
quently occupying the pulplts OF other
churches.
His energy and vigor were remarkable.
When he was past 80 years he assisted IN
shingling the church. OF late years, as al
ways through life, he kept abreast OF the
times and was a great reader OF the JouIn-
ais OF the day. Although in the ministry
for nearly three-quarters of century ne
never allowed himself to look askance
upon new doctrines or theories.
He was married in 1888 to Margaret
Wiley Owen of Wales, who died IN 1854.
They had three children, all now living.
Mr.. Bridges made his home with his son
Jacob A. Bridges, in Fort Fairfield. At
Sangerville he will be laid to rest by the
side of his wife.

Artistic stone work.

Hon. F. E. Timberlake has just re-
ceived most interesting lot of pictures
from Eugene M. Hall of Vinalhaven.
The pictures are photographs of stone
work done by c. d. Athearn of Vinal-
haven and represent various designs
for cemetery monuments. One is a
hollow stump with portion of tree
trunk curling around it. Another is a
large, knotted stump, in a niche of
which rests Bible, and on top of
which is cluster of lilies. There are
three other tree trunk designs, and a
cluster of Easter lilies is growing from
the top of one; the second has Bible,
and the third has lilies and pair of
turtle doves wooing at the base. But
the most striking design, and ore which
shows most clearly the skill of the mas
ter, is a pile of Tough, uneven stones,
apparently of different kinds, and of
all shapes, sizes and degrees of rough
ness. They appear to be laid up, like
stone wall, to form the monument, but
in reality, they, like all the other de-
signs, are cut from a single block of
granite, and could hardly be excelled
as examples of the stone cutters ait.
1t is possible that something like these
may 60 into the st. Louis Exposition,
and such an exhibit would certainly be
a most attractive one.-kennebec Jour-
nal.

PASSING OF THE MT. DESERT.
After Years Of Service the Steamer Give
Way to New Boat.

After Year, Of Service the Steamer Gives
Way to . New Boat.
November end witnessed the depar-
ture of the steamer Mt. Desert OF the
Eastern Steamship line on her last trip
for the season, and her place will be
taken for the winter by the steamer
Catherine. And with this last trip OF
the Mt. Desert is closed career un.
paralleled in the history OF the coast OF
Maine steamship lines.
For twenty-four years the NJ. Desert
has ploughed the waters OF Penobscot
and Frenchman's bays e,ch summer:
carving to and fro thousands OF
soiourners at the various resorts and
tons upon tons of freight, and to her
credit be it said, without the loss of a
single life or a serious accident of any
kind whatever.
In former years the Mt. Desert after
touching at Bar Harbor continued on
to Sullivan and Lamoine, but the bust
ness of Bar Harbor increased so rapidly
that the latter ports have long since
ceased to be included in her running
schedule.
Capt. David Robinson was her first
commander and he was followed by
Capt. VIM. e. Sawtelle and Capt. Mark
Ingraham, all of whom are pleasantly
remembered by the older members OF
the summer contingent. For number
of years past Capt F. l.. Winterbotham
has commanded the Mt. Desert, having
risen from minor position in the ser
vice, and he, too, by kind and courteous
treatment, has won the esteem OF all:
The number of years other officers OF
the Mt. Desert have been in service
speaks we'll for the estimation in which
they are held both by the public and the
company.
Mr.. c. H. Allen, chief engineer, has
been on the steamer almost all the time
she has been on the route. Charles L.
Mason, purser, has served twenty years
and John Hosmer, mate, fifteen years.
Mr.. Shute, pilot, has been with her
seven years; maggie Higgins has been
stewardess for number of years, and
from her savings has been able to give
her two children an education.
The withdrawal of the Mt. Desert
from the Rockland route but marks
forward step in the Eastern Steamship
company's plans There is building now
at East Boston, Mass, a larger, faster
and more up-to-date boat to take her
place and this will be added to the COM
pany's fleet of steamships early next
spring making the trip by water from
Boston quicker ard more comfortable
than ever.-Bar Harbor Record.

THE BIGGEST YET.

Potato Story from the ArOostook.
Stories of big potatoes are very nlI-
merous this year and hot without
foundation, for this has been an ex-
ceptionally good year for tubers to ..t-
tain mammoth proportions. Aroostook
county easily leads, of course, although
the Augusta kennebec Journal is try
ing hard to make out that kennebec
county leads the van in this respect.
The following story is vouched for by
the one who reported it to us; We give
/ it to our readers as reported, although
for our part we are inclined to think
the mans imagination played quite a
prominent part in the description.
Our informant states that certain
| farmer-a neighbOr of his-commenced
digging about three weeks ago; he no.
| ticed the vines were not quite dead,
but supposed the tubers had had their
growth, and, as it was the season for
digging and the weather most favor
able, he put on crew of five men be-
sides himself and finished his twenty
acres in good time, putting all but the
| factory potatoes into his potato cellar.
Last Saturday he noticed that the
foundation of the building was sprung
little, but laid it to the wind. On go
ing out Monday morning, the farmer
was surprised to see his building raised
up fully two feet. Tuesday it went up
; ward another foot and by Wednesday
morning it was fully four feet in the
air and his 1920 barrels were exposed
to the light. He was obliged to get a
lot of lumber and build an addition on
to the bottom Of the storehOuse.
1t appears that his potatoes had not
reached their full size when dug and
had kept on growing after being housed
His 2,2OO barrels had increased to prob
ably $500 and he was correspondlngly
happy.
Our readers are not obliged to be-
lieve this report, for it really seems
too big an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

SAVED FROM DEATH.

The Rescue Of Mrs. Van Alstyne at Johns
town. Her Life was Despaired Of and She
Cried Because She Thought She was Going
to Die.
To be on the verge of death, to be consid-
cred beyond the aid of the best medical skill
and then to be restored TO all the pleasures
and duties of life, is an experience SO rare
that its telling will interest most readers.
Mrs. Charles Van Alstyne, Of No. 3O7 west
State street. Johnstown, N. T., who is now
enjoying perfect health, was, few years
ago, a victim of an@mia, a disease in which
the blood becomes deficient in quantity and
quality so that all the tissues Of the O0dy
are starved and death frequently results.
