large number of prisoners, and where
there are separate cook houses for the Jail,
it would doubtless result i'm saving.
Where there is an average of only about
seven prisoners, as in this county, the old
plan worked satisfactorily.
The annual excursion of the Congrega-
tional Sunday school will be made by
steamer Percy V. to Atlantic, Swans
Island, next Wednesday, leaving Els
worth at s a. m. Tickets for pupils and
parents will be given out next Sunday.
As the number who can go is limited to
seventy-f=e pupils, parents and others
should obtain tickets at that time. If
there are any tickets not disposed of Sum
day, they will be on sale after Sunday at
Moore's drug store.
It is expected that more than twenty
five Grand Army men and members of the
relief corps win attend the sixth annual
reunion of the Eastern Maine Veterans
association at Jacksonville camp-grounds
tomorrow. The Washington County
railroad will run excursion trains. The
fare for the round trip from Ellsworth
will be sl.10. The train will leave Els
worth ut T.15 q. M, and on the return trip
a special train will run through to Els
worth, due here at S.45 p. m.
There was large attendance at Han
cock hall at the union service Sunday
evening, when Rev. p. A. A. Killsm, of
the Baptist church, delivered the bacca-
laureate sermon to the graduating class of
the Ellsworth high. He was assisted in
the services by Revs. j. NJ Adams and J.
P. Simonton. The Baptist choir furnished
music. The sermon was an appropriate
one, an inspiration to high endeavor, not
only to the members of the class, to which
ii was especially addressed, but to ell who
heard it.
The committee on plans and specihcs-
tions for the proposed new Methodist
church in Ellsworth opened bids last
Thursday. The bids received were as fol-
lows: W. s. Smallidge, Northeast Harbor,
y,535; A. NJ. Foster, Ellsworth, 1888;
Charles Watts, Pittsfield, sS,S45. As all
these bids were higher than the limit fixed
b /; the committee, it was voted to reject all
bids, and another set Of plans for church
OF simpler design was sent for. These
plans, il adopted by the committee, viii be
submitted for bids,
While there is nothing new to report in
regard to the cotton yarn mill proposition
submitted to the citizens OF Ellsworth by
Arnold B. Sanford, Of Boston, the COM
mittee having the matter in hand has had
several meetings, and is busy investigating
the matter The committee is not yet pre-
pared to submit a detailed report to
meeting of the board of trade, but expects
to be able to do so in a few days, when
another meeting will be called. AT the
same meeting it is proposed to reorganiZe
the board of trade and put it on proper
working basis.
While the number of sailing yachts in
the Ellsworth feet has dwindled, as these
pleasure crafts have given place to m-tor-
boats, the few devotees of the sailing
craft have lost nothing OF their enthusi-
asm. There was race or series of races
last year in which A. ID. Stuart's Madella
and Frank s. Lords Lorelei participated.
Every time two or three of these anti
gasoline sailors get together, that race is
sailed all over again. The controversy
involves Gains and winds, fouls and time
allowances, prejudiced judges and incon-
sistent stop-watches. 1t looks very much
as IL another race was in order.
Neil Mckenzie, who was employed at
the Green Lake lumber company's mill at
Goose pond near Green Lake, had his
right foot badly cut by saw Monday
afternoon. Mckenzie was standing
directly over a cutting-off saw, when his
left foot pressed the lever which raised II.
The saw entered his foot almost in the
middle, cutting it from ball to heel, max
ing an ugly wound. The saw entered
deepest at the heel, splitting the bone.
The injured man was brought to Ellis
worth by train, where DIR. A. c. Hagerthy
dressed the wound. McKenZie's home is
in the Provinces, and as he had no home
or relatives here, he was taken to Bangor
hospital on the afternoon train.
Two notable additions to E. H. Greely's
stable are the colts Royal Edict and Royal
Cup, which were brought to Ellsworth
last week. Both are sons TO Royal Swell,
ono of the best bred horses in the country,
being by Bow Bells, 2.19A, out of Rachel,
2.OSA, by Baron Wilkes. The dam of
ROYAL Edict is Rose Teacho (dam of Mollie
Painton) by Melrose, second dam Mollie
Clark dam of Addie Wilkes, 2.15A and
Tom Judge 2.25A) by Holabird's Ethan
Allen, sire of the dams of ''s~eet little"
Darrell, 2.00A, Whisper, 2.0S, and others in
the 2.10 list. The dam of Royal Cup is
Gold Cup, by Potential son OF o- P1rodigal
Angelina, 2.12, by Wilkes Boy; second
dam, Mollie (dam of Angelina, PIP, Glad
iator, 2.27, Prophet Wilkes, 2.25, and
others) by Kentucky Clay, No. 1874.
These colts will undoubtedly prove of
great benefit to Maine breeding interests.
