Employees Remembered.

Some of the business and social or
standard of Christmas recognition and
put a large premium on faithfulness
and length of service and as several
of these places employ colored help
ployes should stand as an object les
son that only those who are steady
and reliable will be rewarded The
Scholtz Drug Company have adopted
the plan first of giving colored men
responsible positions and good pay for
their services and then giving them
donation at Christmas of $500 for
every year they have been in service
irrespective of their position or color
Some of their employees received as
high as $40.
This method of encouraging perma-
nence on the part of employees is a
lesson that ones service is recognized
and substantially remembered.
The Denver and University clubs
follow similar course, a subscription
list is presented to the members and
then the amount is divided among the
help in proportion to the length of ser
vice. The amount subscribed by the
membership this year at the Denver
Club totals over $4,000, the division of
this sum will make snug pile for
| those who have been longest in SER
vice, amounting in some cases to over
500; thus the men who prove them.
selves the most reliable being more
suitably rewarded. Be it said, to the
credit of these employees, they in turn
after receiving their remembrance
make up donation for some worthy
charity.
Thus the Christmas good cheer is
passed along from one source to an
other until all have been remembered
A good object lesson this.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR DANCE.

The annual concert and ball of the Bar
Harbor Knights Templar was given at the
Casino Friday evening and was one of the
most enjoyable events of the season. The
hall was deliberately decorated, and never
presented a more attractive appearance.
All about the front of the balcony was
string of several hundred different colored
electric lights and flags, and bright col
ored bunting was used in all parts of the
hall The stage was mass of palms and
ported plants and overhead were draped
flags and bunting. Suspended above the
stage was the word Welcome in white
electric lights and the Knight Templar's
badge and motto with the letters K. T. in
colored lights.
In two corners of the hall were the
refreshment booths, trimmed with ever
green and bunting.
1t was about O'Clock when the first
number of the concert was given by Ray
& Kelley's orchestra OF ten pieces. This
was followed by an address of welcome to
the Knights guests by DR.. George A.
Phillips, and then came a selection by a
male quartette composed of J. Franklin
Anthony, second bass; Frank E. Whit
more, first bass; Bert Young, second tenor,
and G. Prescott Cleaves, first tenor. After
violin solo by Miss Beatrice Kelley,
accompanied by Miss Hazel Foster, there
was another selection by the quartette.
The grand march was led by Curtis r.
Foster, of Blanquefort commandery, of
Ellsworth, and Mrs. Foster, and was par
ticipated in by about fifty Knights and
their ladies. About $50 couples took part
in the dancing, which was kept up until 2
o'clock.

director and Sir knight Edgar J. Trussell,
assistant floor director; aids, Sir Knights

The Coming Caucuses.

The democrats of Ellsworth are to
hold their caucuses for the nomina
tion of candidates for mayor and
aldermen this evening-too late for
rs to make comment this week. Ii is
safe to predict, however, that they
will not display the same good judg-
ment that they did a year ago, and
refrain from making any nominations
at all.
That was an unusual proceeding.
For two years Mayor Hagerthy and
full republican board of aldermen had
been in power; for two years these
officials had been in full charge of our
municipal affairs; many OF the horri-
Bile a It's of mai administration with
which they are now charged had
already beea committed, and yet our
democratic friends met, appointed
committee to investigate, and
adjourned to await the result of the
investigation.
This committee sort of smelling
eommittee-purred around for few
days, and then reported, and on tie
strength of that report 1t was voted
shat no nominations be made.
A year has since passed, the man
Rgement of the city's affairs have con-
tinued in the hands of the republi-
cans, who have followed the same
general policies of the two preceding
years, and with the same general
good results. And yet the cry of the
enemy now is: Turn the rascals
out!'
1t will be strange indeed if the vot-
ers who three years ago placed in
power the present administration, and
have set their seal of approval on its
work by re-electing it twice, should
now unceremoniously turn it out. If
our municipal officers have been dere-
lict in their duties; if they have not
been prudent and economical; if
their public acts have indicated
unsound business judgment; if, in
short, they should be turned out, why,
out with them!
But the record of the past three
years will not justify such drastic
action; not charge of extravaganza,
of imprudence, of misuse Of public
funds-all of which have been darkly
limited at by our democratic friends,
has been sustained. The new organ
of the party has been busy asserting
things for some weeks. But asser-
tion without evidence is not argu-
ment, and up to date not the slightest
evidence of malfeasance on the part
of the present administration or of
any Individual in it has been pre-
scented.

OBITUARY.
LEWIS r. HOOPER.

| Ex-Sheriff Lewis F. Hooper died at his
| home in Ellsworth early this morning Of
cancer of the throat Though it has been
| known for a long time that Mr.. Hooper
was in a critical condition, his death
came with suddenness that was entirely
unexpected.
| Mr.. Hooper was born in that part Of the
town of Sedgwick which is now Brooklin,
| in 1916. At the age of fourteen he was at
tracted to the sea, and in three years had
| risen to a mates berth. He followed the
sea for twelve years, sailing to the West
indies and southern ports.
Leaving the sea he started in the meat
business at Brooklin, and later was en-
ployed in the store of r. A. Friend For
three years he was employed with the
United States coast survey along the coast
of Maine.
Mr.. Hooper was appointed deputy
sheriff in 1886, by Sheriff d. l.. Fields, and
served under him for six years. In 1890,
Sheriff J. w. Patterson, of Bucksport, ap-
pointed him deputy sheriff and jailer, and
Mr.. Hooper moved to Ellsworth with his
family, and this has since been his home.
He served as jailer four years under Sheriff
Patterson, retiring in January, 1895, on
the accession to office of Sheriff Fennelly.
He was elected sheriff in 1895, and re-
elected in 1898, serving in all four years.
He had announced his candidacy for the
nomination for the office at this years re-
publican convention.
Since retiring from the office of sheriff,
Mr.. Hooper had been engaged in the in
surance business. He had wide acquaint-
ance throughout the county. He was a
| member of Lejok lodge, /. o. o. +. He
leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs.
Mae Chase, of Ellsworth.
Prayers will be conducted by Rev. J. p.
Simonton at the house to- morrow fore
noon at 10 O'Clock. The remains will then
be taken to Brooklin, where services will
be held Friday.

1t was the most notable wedding
that the capital has ever known.

The ''star" editor of the Democrat
has made another discovery of repub-
lican wickedness. 1t has just come
to his knowledge that some of the
aldermen hold or have held other
offices-one a tax collector; another
an inspector of public buildings;
another an assessor-all of which is
true. The memory of man doesn't
need to go very far back to recall
that democratic alderman was city
treasurer, that two of the very last
democratic board got themselves
elected on the school board, and one
of these two became superintendent
of schools. Verify it is a ''nice thing
to be alderman from the second
wardn!
