BOWLING TOURNAMENT.


There is good deal of interest in the
bowling tournament which is in progress
on the alleys of the Y. NJ. G. A. Games
are rolled every night, and the scores are
eagerly scanned by the forty players on
the various teams. The Redmen are
ahead at present, and are regarded as the
most likely candidates for the handsome
silver trophy which is on exhibition in
the window of Gonya's drugstore.
The Redmen have two well balanced
teams, and the men roll good, steady
game. One Of the best matches of the
tournament thus far was rolled Thursday
night between the Redmen and the Ma
sons, probably the two best teams COM
peting. The Redmen won by the score OF
965 to 923. This score of the Redmen is
the best that has been rolled up to the
present, beating the score of 953 made by
the Masons in the first game of the tour
nament.
H. E. Wakefield, of the Masons, has the
highest individual single match score,
having made 2S1 in his three strings.
James Bernardini, of the Redmen 2, comes
second, with a score of 251.

Following is the score of completed
games to date:

The interesting little discussion regard
ing the old stocks at Castine, brought up
by our correspondent in an item referring
to the demolition of the old court house
there, seems to be closed this week by a
letter from q well-known authority on
Castine history, which appears below.
That such stocks were at one time built
and used, there seems little question.
Our correspondent, VINO sent the original
item, explains that he took his informa-
tion from DR.. George A. Wheeleris little
book, sCastine, Past and Present. which
states that the stocks were built about
1913 or 1874. This agrees with the other
letter received this week, which follows:
Casino, ME-, Dec II, 1904,
To the Editor. Of The American:
The records Of Penobseot show that at town
meeting held July s. 1913, ii was voted THAT
the sum of three pounds be raised for the pur-
pose of erecting stocks. and that they lie placed
near the court house, This was forty five
years prior to the removal of the courts. and
they probably had decayed and been taken
away previous to the recollection of any one
now living, and the mode of punishment which
required them had gone out OF date.

JACK LONDON IN ELLSWORTH.


Jack London, novelist, lecturer and wal
correspondent, spent few days in Els
worth last week, the guest of Miss j. A
Thompson. He was accompanied by his
wife, bride of three weeks-s Californis
girl by birth, but daughter of a son Of
Maine. She was Miss CHAIRMAN Kittredge
daughter of Willard Kittredge, of Town
Hill, Eden, who went to California with
the forty miners. Mrs. London herself is
writer who has won fiattering recogni-
tion as a contributor to magazines.
Mr.. and Mrs. London, accompanied by
Miss Thompson, left Sunday for a short
visit at Miss Thompson's home in Tren-
ton. They are spending this week among
relatives of Mrs. London on Mt. Desert
island.
Jack London, though still on the sunny
side of thirty, has had more varied ex-
perience than falls to the lot of most men
in a long lifetime of adventure. Rough
ing it before the mast, or on the road, or
in the Klondike region before the sharp
edges had worn of; following the armies
of Japan and Russia in Manchuria in the

ever up against. he has gathered fund of
information which he tells in way which
makes the reader ask for more and want
to know the writer better. He has
written some of the most talked-of novels
and stories of recent years, and because of
his style has been termed the ''Kipling of
America. 1.-THE Cali of the Wild" and
s'Sea WOLF are two of his best-known
books.
Mr.. London came East on his wedding
trip, filing lecture engagements on the
way. He lectured before Bowdoin college
students at Brunswick last Thursday
evening. While in Brunswick be was en-
tertsined by Frank Rowe, OF Ellsworth, at
his fraternity house.
From Brunswick Mr.. and Mrs. London
came to Ellsworth. They expect to leave
here next Sunday night for Cambridge,
where Mr. London will lecture before
Harvard students. From there they
viii go to New York, and viii
sail soon for Jamaica, W. l., for
the remainder of the winter. After re-
turning to California in the spring, he
will have built yacht in which it is his
intention of taking a cruise around the
world which will occupy six years.

and in one a municipal ticket.
National issues played but little part

Bar Harder is just now interested in a
discussion of the tipping system. The
discussion arose over the rumor that CO.
operative store was to be started by the
summer residents to escape the burden
put upon them by storekeepers who paid
commissions or tips 10 stewards and but
lers, and tackled the expense on the price
for goods. A well-known cottager writ
ing from New York denies the report that
he is interested in cooperative store
plan, but adds the warming, which has
been interpreted as threat by Bar Har-
Dor merchants, that if the tipping system
continues the cooperative store plan will
materialize. B. s. Higgins has taken up
the eudgel in behalf of the merchants,
and says that in all his nineteen years of
business in Bar Harbor, he has never given
tip to servants. As a compromise, the
suggestion is made that Bar Harbor mer-
chants make an iron-clad agreement not
to give tips.

WAS READY TO FIGHT.
Great Britain offered to Give France
Aid Against Germany.

London, Oct. 8. - The Mathis dis
closures purporting to give details in
connection with the resignation of the
French foreign minister, NJ. Delcasse,
because Of the Moroccan situation, and
the sensational statement that Great
Britain not only communicated to
France her intention of supporting
France in the event of war with Ger
many, but actually giving details of her
intentions regarding the place for the
landing Of troops and the seizure of the
Kiel canal, created much talk in dip,o-
matte circles today and are published
at length in all the afternoon papers
In official quarters, however, no ex-
preston of opinion was obtainabls.
Foreign Minister Lansdowne was absent
from the city and consequently it was
impossible to secure definite state
ment regarding the actual lengths to
which Great Britain went at the time
OF the crisis. During that time the
Associated Press secured a statement
from a high official of the British for
eign office, which to certain extent
supports the assertions of the Matin.
