At noon the streets were lined with
mem bers of the order. The noon train
from the east brought about 200 Odd Eel
lows who paraded down Main street un.
der the escort OF the "hobo band" from
Bar Hsrbor. Strangers in the city, who
did not know 1t was Odd Fellows day be-
gan to look scared and to imagine they
were being taken by the Russians or
japanese.

den, of Bangor.
Nearly every lodge in Hancock county
was represented besides many from vari-
Gus parts of the State. Between 500 and
900 Odd Fellows were present, and that
they brought their appetites with them Is
shown by the follow ing list of food whic h

dozen rolls, % BIS coffee, rs bis. sugar, 20
pounds butter. 4 gallons pickles, bush

TWO BAD FIRES.
AMERICAN HOUSE AND METH
ODIsT CHURCH DAMAGED.
GOOD WORK OF FIREMEN AT THE
AMERICAN HOUSE PREVENTS GEN
ERAL CoNFLAGRATIcN,

The American house, Frank r. Grows,
proprietor, and the Methodist church,
Rev. J. z. SImonton, pastor, were dam
aged by fire the past week to the extent Of
seversl thousand dollars.
About 8 30 last Thursday evening, the
American house caught fire; IL originated
on the third floor, and was caused, 1t is
supposed, by the explosion of lamp.
When the firemen arrived the whole
upper floor and roof of the old part we're
In flames. The smoke was thick and in
teriered greatly with the work OF the
hosemen.
In forty FIVE minutes the fire was out,
the fifemen having kept 1t confined to the
third floor. Even the roof did not suffer
much.
Landlord Crows greatest damage Is
from water. which penetrated nearly
every part OF the old section OF the house.
The fire could not have occurred at
worse time tor Mr.. Grows because OF the
Odd Fellows convention which was held
the next dsy-every room was let.
For fear that the fire would start up
again, Chief Eaton ordered line of hose
left in charge of Lieut.. Murch, otthe Sem
ator Hales.

SUNDAY NIGHT FIRE.

An alarm was turned in at o'clock
Sunday night for fire in the basement OF
the Methodist church. When the fire
was discovered 1t had full possession OF
the Kitchen and ante-rooms, and vas GO
ing into the walls with such rapidity
that 1t looked as though the church was
doomed.
The firemen were quick In responding,
as usual, and, after q short delay at the
hydrant, had their streams pouring into
the building.
The firemen worked hard for over an
hour, but gained no apparent Roadway.
As soon as the fire was out in one part of
the building, 1t would break out else
where.
When the fire began shooting through
the belfry, Chief Futon ordered the long
ladders up, and a stream was taken to the
tower. 1t was this stream that practically
killed the fre.
After orders had been given to return
to the house, 1t was found that there was
tre In the finish work around the helfry
but few strokes with an axe removed the
danger OF another alarm.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1904-03-02
NOTES.

AT both fires the hydrants used by the
Senator Hale hose company were frozen
and caused delay OF from five to ten
minutes In getting a stream on. The n.y.
drants we're not frozen down In the
ground, but up at the top where ten
wrench goes On. II was probably caused
by rain ana snow eaking Ia around the
bearings and freezing. In both cases
idsh of hot water started them.
AT Sundays fire much confusion was
caused by outsiders giving orders, and
getting generally IN the way. The penal.
ty for this offence Is a fire OF $40 and i'm
prisonment. IL is doubtful IL comp aini
IL made, but from talk with several OF the
pipemen, 1t Is pro ba BILE that heres fter Of
tenders will get dash OF Branch pond
Ice water with 100 pounds pressure be-
hind it.
Insurance adjusters were in Eliswort b
yesterday. At the American house the
oss on the building could not be satisfsc
toriiy adjusted, and referees have been ap-
pointed. who meet TO day. The 81 me is
true OF the Methodist church fire.
For the first time in / he history OF the
present companies, an ali-out signal was
sounded by one Of the hremen on leaving
the church fire. 1t was made by two
sharp blows with an axe on the belfry
bell.

PASADENA, IAL REQ. "a, l9U4.
To the Editor of The American:
Cot. c. Z. Burrll, OF your city, called at
my home this morning, and | happened
to be out; but on my return, learning of
his call, l hunted him down, finding him
at Hotel Green.
This afternoon we drove over the city
together, and l explained to him some
thing of our city's history for the past
thirty years, and its transformation from q
sheep ranch to what it is to-day, showing
him some of the early day dots, the new
dashes and the big birds at the ostrich
farm. We had good time, you may be
sure.
l told him that in that early day this
valley was bare OF trees and shrubs, ex-
cept here and there live oak; and his
question following rather indicated that
he thought l was giving him little
'teuderfoot" initiation. He asked: You
planted these trees when they were
quite large?"
"rhe size OF my whip, and smaller" |
said, and that seemed to dsze him, but he
rallied and said: "Trees grow fast here"
YES" said. And OF course they do.
1t would take a hundred years or more
in Maine to grow trees as large as some of
ours here that have grown from little
sAitches to be giants almost, since |
dumped myself and bag age down near
what is now the cen'I OF our city.
Yours truly,

Gov. Burleigh has been working with
several members Of the House who are
concerned about the provisions OF bill
to require steam launches aud small pleas
ure crafts to carry licensed pilots. Such
legislation would affect all the small
pleasure craft along the Maine coast,
many of which are run by co lego boys in
summer and by youths who find THU a
means OF making a living or OF furthering
their education at college and other
schools.
The governor fully concurs with any
reason able effort to assure the safety OF
those cruising on these little boats, but
does not want any drastic legislation.

WASHINGTON, d. G.. March especially
Public business affecting the third
Maine congressional district has been un-
usually brisk OF late. The people up
there seem to be aware that the session OF
Congress is nearing an end. They are
hurrying up with their requests and with
their sffsirs that have a Washington end.
OF course a large number of the letters
are about pensions, and take the governor
frequently over to the pension bureau,
but many OF them are about postofflce
matters. A couple hundred postmssters,
more or less, Ia the third Maine district,
have vast number OF little errsnds to be
looked after. The governor always gives
these matters prompt attention, for he
regards those matters as part OF a con-
gressman's duties.
