Mr.. DIES ERr, Dec. p, 1908.
To the Editor Of The American;
fhe recent death and burial OF
Roscoe G. Salisbury, followed a few weeks
later by thst OF bis widow. hss produced
we're natives, had spent most OF their
lives here. and were liked and respected
by the whole community.
Ny acquaintance with him began thir-
ty-tive years ago. He had recently mar
ried Henrietta, second daughter OF the
late John Somss, and was holding the po-
sition OF CLERK In the store OF the late
Andrew j. Whiting, and continued in
this employment till Mr.. Whiting closed
up trading by selling both store and
goods.
He lived to see many changes take place
on the Island, one OF which was the be-
ginning and end of the Ellsworth and
fremont Telegraph company. For when
that company began to do business the
SomesyiIls Office was placed in Writings
store, and Salisbury became lie first oper-
stor, aud continued to bold the position
till the office WAS discontinued. he was
also one Of the best players in the Somes-
Vile brass band during he few years Of
it's existence.
Though not a member OF the church, he
was quite regular aud puncsual In attend
ing its service, and was much help to the
choir.
He attended strictly to business, and as
result OF his industrious and saving
habits was enabled 10 accumulate sui
! ficient property that he was In indepen-
dent circumstances. Hts wife was always
! i crested ia his work, aud did her full
share toward making for themselves a
comfortable and happy home.
| Edith, their only child, is now fine
W oman OF thirty Ave years, aud is the
wife of Hollis r. Hysom. They have
recently moved from Cambridge, and
intend making Somesville their perma-
| nent home.
| Roscoe was the son of Nathan and
Bethany Salisbury, who were well-known
and prominent people here generation
ago.
| The sorrowing members OF the family
are John a., who lives in Somesville, and
Nathan, who is now seriously III at Bar
Harbor.
\ The surviving members<of Mrs. Sails
bury's family are q brother, John W.
Somes, and two sisters, Sarah Somes ana
Mrs. Judith s. Heath. Mr.. Salisbury was
q good singer, and enjoyed singing, and
had a strong feeling of friendship and
good fellowship for those with whom he
was accustomed to sing.
AT bis last visit from Cam bridge he was
at my house, and was speaking of the
many happy hours that we had spent
singing together aud said: II ofen ask
myself: will / ever return to Somes-
willie and again join with the voices OF
old companions in singing the old songs
that are ever ringing in my earsg'" And
he added: "Echo answers, never"
Alas, the prediction was too true. For
it was his last visit to his old home.

Pope Plus X. Stole the Meat,


The following interesting story OF Pope
Plus X. appears in the Christmas Success.
1t was written by Salvatore Corlesi, and
is part of an article telling of the pope's
boy hood days, when he was known to his
comrades as Beppi Sarto:
His sister lived with him (the pope),
and was often in despair because there
was nothing in the house with which to
buy food. One day she had procured a
tine piece of beef and had promptly put
it in pot to make soup. Near the din
ner hour she came rushing to her brot her,
crying:
"The meat Is stoleni"
peri aps 1t was the cat
"The cati A cat eau not carry of the
pot, tool" Tnereupon he added Insult to
injury by saying:
"My dear sister, fear you dc OF at
tend very well to the kitchen. 1t was
who took them to give to poor man W no
said his wife was III ia bed and needed
broth.n
swell, at least suppose she could not
eat the poti" said the other, Indignantly.
snow what are you going to have for
your dinner, / should like to know? /
am sure you have not cent In your
pocket" Beppi induigentiy turned out
his empty pockets and then said: "Never
mind. never mind. sister, God will pro-
vide for us!" But He did not provide
another piece OF beef for dinner that day.

The Senate committee on military
affairs will vote, on January 4, on the
nomination of Gen. Wood to be major
general. A favorable report by the
committee is assured, and it is equally
certain that the Senate will confirm it,.
Friends of the general are pleased
with the decision that all the testi
mony in the case will be printed, as
they know that it will show how false
the reports of such testimony have
been, that it will give them an oppor-
tunity to refute that which is hostile
to the general, and that it will vindi-
cate Gen. Wood in the eyes of the
public.
One of the most important of recent
developments in the case was when
Secretary Of War Root appeared
before the Senate committee and
made strong witness in the generals
behalf, successfully refuting all
charges against his military and civil
record in Cuba.

senator Hears Attack ON the Admin

istration.
By a bitter attack on the admins
tration, which reminded one of the
days when he hailed Aguinaldo as a
second George Washington. Senator
Hoar caused sharp party debate on
the Panama question. The senator
read his speech from carefully pre-
pared manuscript, and this fact made
his violent statements all the more
remarkable. The following citation
gives an idea of the character of his
speech.
81 want to know-and / think the
American people want to know, and
have a right to know-whether this
mighty policeman, instructed to keep
the peace on that isthmus, seeing a
man about to attack another, before
he had struck his blow manacled the
arms of the attacked SO that he could
not defend himself, leaving the assail-
ant free, and then instantly proceeded
to secure from the assaiiant the peck
etbook of the victim on the ground
that he was the de fdcto owner"
This speech caused delight among
the democrats, who would like to
attack the administration but many
of whom fear that opposition to the
treaty would be boomerang to the
party. MIR. Bailey congratulated the
Massachusetts senator on being with
the democrats on the question, and
Mr.. German aided in the attack on
the administration by calling the
President second Napoleon.
ga second Napoleon indeed Has
it come to this that the United States
must have a Napoleon to shape its
destinies and to distort the presiden-
tial Office from its proper Junction."
Senator Foraker made a serious,
able and dignified reply to these ora
remarks much annoyed Senator Hoar,
who then attempted to tone down his
written speech before it went into
the Congressional Record.
Mr.. Foraker demanded of Senator
Hoar what right he had to call upon
the President to prove that he had
spoken the truth in his message to
Congress.
Congress has now adjourned until
after the holidays, when further
debats on the Panama question is
expected. There is little doubt that
the treaty will be ratified.

By reaching en- agreement by which
the land of the Philippine friars can
ne purchased by our government,
Gov. Taft has solved one of the most
irritating problems in the island. The
terms of the agreement are that ali
the land of the friars shall be bought
by the United States for 81, 25o. 900
The Pope's approval of the agree
ment has been obtained and that oil
the war department is now awaited.
The friars frs. asked SIS, 900. As
the money for the purchase of the
lands will not be paid by the people OF
the United States, and as the purchase
will meet the general approval o. the
natives, President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Root will, no doubt, ratify the
action of Gov. Taft.

President Roosevelt has signed the
Cuban reciprocity bill, which passed
the Senate by a vote of 81 to IS.
Many democrats voted for the bill,
and but one republican opposed 1T.
Just before a vote was taken Senator
Bailey, of Texas, made long speech in
which he tried to show that the action
of the President and Senate in nego-
tiating a treaty, which called for a
reduction OF the tariff, was violation
of that part of the constitution which
declares that all revenue legislation
shall originate in the House. Mr.
Spooner answered Mr.. Bailey in ar
able speech, but the entire discussion
had no effect upon the vote on the
measure.

One little eight-y ear-old toy living In
Surry acted tine part of hero the other
day. Willie Stewart, aged nine, and
Edwin Goodw aged eight, were playing
on the mill pond, skating and sliding.
The pond was frozen over, but the ice was
thin, and soon began to crsckle, then gave
way, and Willie Goodwin instead OF being
frightened and running for help, watched
as near the hole as possible, where his
playmate had disappeared, until he saw
his head above water, then caught him by
the hair and dragged him to safety. 1t
was perilous position for both boys,
for the ice was unsafe, and while reseuing
bis companion, 1t is a wonder that Good
win was not also thrown In the pond.
There was no one near, and but for the
brave act of the child there would be one
boy less in Surry.
