GLUE FACTORY HEARING.


Southwest Harbor Residents Claim
Factory is a Nuisance.
There was a hearing before Chief-Justice
l.. A Emery at the courthouse in Ellis
worth yesterday, in the equity case OF
Asher Allen VS.. the Eastern Oil & Glue
Co., OF Southwest Harbor. The plaintiff,
who is proprietor Of the Ocean house at
Southwest Harbor, asked for an injunction
restraining the defendant company from
running its factory on the ground that it
was a nuisance and detrimental to the
summer business at Southwest Harbor on
account of odors from the factory.
Many witnesses were examined
and testified as to the smell from
the factory. Messrs. varney and Tarr, OF
the company, in the defence, detailed the
process of glue making as carried on at
the factory.
The glue is made from the heads, bones
and skins of fish. These are fresh, as
the first thing lost in the decomposition
of fish is the glue The fish is first washed
in large watts, then boiled for several
hours, and finally subjected to great
pressure to extract the glue. In this
process, the company says, there is abso-
lutely no offensive odor.
But there remains, after the glue is ex-
tracted, considerable solid matter, which
is used in the manufacture of phosphate,
which is by-product of the factory.
This is first dried out, and in this drying
or burning process there is created the
pungent and permeating odor - "like a
fish skin on hot stove" as it was de-
scribed-which is the cause of complaint.
Messrs. varney and Tarr both ex-
pressed willingness to move this part Of
their operation to some other location, or
to ship it away for manufacture elsewhere,
but asked to be allowed to continue the
manufacture Of glue as at present.
The plaintiff was represented by Hale &
Hamlin and Seth W. Norwood, and the
defendant company by Deasy & Lyman.
Chief-Justice Emery reserved his de-
cision.

The Maine Sanitorium

A. G. Young, secretary Of the State
board of health, is making an appeal for
subscriptions to the Maine Sanitorium.
In public letter he says:
The crusade against .'the great white
plague is now being vigorously pushed in
every civilized country in the. world. Con-
sumption was formerly disease to be dreaded
and to be met with as submissive a spirit as
possible. Now it is known to be a durable
disease if taken in its early stages, and this
knowledge arouses the determination to meet
and overcome this malignant monster that
has destroyed so many valuable lives and
carried sorrow to SO many homes in all the
years that are past.
No more efficient agency for combating
this insidious foe exists than the Maine
sanitorium. The good that it has already
done is an earnest of what it can do if prop
erly supported. 1t is in urgent need of funds
to meet its Indebtedness and to enlarge its
accommodations to capacity of 100 patients
as originally intended. 1t now has ffty-fve
patients, the limit of its present capacity.
The officers of the sanitorium call upon all
the people of the State to come to the aid of
the saniotrium with contributions according
to their means and their interest in this work
which is of so much importance to the State.
1t is hoped that this appeal will meet with a
quick and hearty response; that individuals
Will send their own contributions, and that
there may be those in every community who
will read this and take sufficient interest to
solicit funds from their friends and neigh
bors and to organize fairs and entertain
ments for the benefit of the sanitorium.
Contributions may be sent to DR.. A. G..
Young Augusta, or to Treby Johnson,
treasurer, Augusta.

Keith,s Theatre. Boston

There will be several items of more than
ordinary interest on the Keith bill for the
coming week, prominent among them be-
ing Greasy and Dayne, s'The Futurity
Winner" Rooney and Bent, La Belle
Blanche and the Zazelle- Vernon company.
The engagement that Cressy and Dayne
are to commence next Monday will prob
ably be the last they will play in Boston
as vaudeville stars for some time. The
playlet they are to present next week is
Mr.. Cressy's latest bit of work, ssThe Wy
oming Whoop." 1t is story of western
life, and deals with the troubles encoun-
tered by an editor in mining town in his
endeavor to publish a weekly newspaper.
1t is full Of Cressyisms.
''The Futurity Winner" is most spec
tacular, and it's finish with its race be-
tween four horses has never been ex-
celled as a sensational feature.
Pat Rooney and Marion Bent have a
new skit that is bright and breezy.
La Belle Blanche has recently scored a
great success in New York with her imi-
tations of stage favorites. The Zazelle-
Vernon company's jolly pantomimic
sketch; Emil Subers, black-face humor-
list; Eugene Jolly, cornet soloist; Toledo
and Price, novelty gymnssts and contor-
tionists; the three Deans brothers, comedy
acrobats; Kelso and Leighton, in a droll
playlet; the two Ashers, 'sreal coonn en- :
tertainers, and the kinetograph will
round out the bill.

Political alarmists came out last
week with a sensation in the shape of
yarn that Secretary Cortelyou was
q secret enemy of the President, had
been strengthening himself to make
the race for the presidential nomina-
tion next year, and was quietly doing
all he could to handicap Secretary
Taft in Ohio. This is about as far
fetched story as could be imagined.
It may be true that Secretary Cor
telyou has presidential ambitions, but
he is clever enough not to entertain
them for 1908. In fact, even his
enemies will admit that Mr.. Cor
telyou is too clever ever to do an i'm
polite thing or attempt the impossi-
BILE. As a matter of fact, Mr.. Cor
telyou, the President, and Secretary
Taft are all good friends. 1t is quite
likely that he may try for the nomi-
nation in 1912, but it can be safely
said that he is not injecting himself
into the Ohio fight at this stage of the
game.

SARAH JANE vARNUM.

Sarah Jane, widow of Nelson Varnum,
formerly of Bucksport, died suddenly of
heart disease on May II at the home of
her daughter, Cora E. v. Evans, at Mt.
Ephraim, N. J. The funeral and inter-
ment were at Atco, N. j., her home town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Varnum left Bucksport
many years ago, and were the first to set
tie in Atco, where they were followed by
many from New England-some from
Maine.
The deceased was a loving wife, de-
voted mother, true friend, beloved by
all who knew her. She is survived by four
children, thirteen grandchildren and two
great grandchildren. She also leaves
two sisters-Mrs. Nancy A. West, of
Bucksport, and Mrs. Hannah M. Wood
bury, of Surry, and one brother-W. L.

Down at Southwest Harbor last week
interest centred in a dog trial. "Dandy,"
the dog, was arrested on the charge of
assault, he having bitten boy. 1t was a
trial of life or death for the dog, and SYM
pathy was with him. The prosecution
made out strong case, proving that the
boy had undoubtedly been bitten and
badly bitten, and that Dandy was the
bitter. The defense, however, proved that
the boy had thrown stones at the dog, and
Dandy was acting in self-defence. He was
acquitted.

One of the most serious things in
the political line is the report that
desperate efforts are being made to
line up the coming trans Mississippi
convention in Denver against the
President and all the western policies
of the administration. 1t is generally
believed there is something in this,
but the movement is thought to come
from the big railroads and other cor
porate interests Of the West, and not
from the people.

OBITUARY..
poNrRAM JupsoN RouNDy.


Adoniram Judson Roundy. of Milwau-
kee, died May 10, aged eighty-nine years,
one month and twenty-eight days.
Mr. Roundy was born at Bluehill,
March II, 1918, son of Rev. John Roundy,
the first pastor of the Baptist church of
that town, and grandson of John Roundy,
a first settler, who, with Joseph Wood,
from Beverly, Mass, founded the town in
1852. He removed with his fathers fam
lily, in childhood, to Charleston, Me-,
where he received his school education,
and grew to manhood.
His business career began at Bangor in
the lumber trade, and in 1852 he went
West, where year or two later he located
at Milwaukee in the wholesale grocery
line, and there grew up with the place as
successful business man. The firm of j.
A. Roundy & Co., later merged into the
]. A. Roundy corporation, was favorably
known throughout the middle West, and
built up large and lucrative trade.
Mr.. Roundy, by forming the corpora
ton with which he was connected up to
the date of his death, having been relieved
of close application to and oversight of
the business, with his wife, spent five
years in foreign travel. They visited the
principal countries, cities and places in
Europe. Travelled in Egypt, up the Nile,
through the Holy Land, and made the trip
to the North Cape.
He was a close observer of men and
things, possessed the gift Of expression in
rhyme and verse of what he saw abroad,
of which a small volume was privately
quite extensively in this country, had
spent winters in the South and in south
ern California, and the last two at Old
Point Comfort, Va, and his summers had
been spent in New England.
His wife, who was a Miss Dexter, of
Maine, died several years ago, leaving no
children, since which time he was at
tended in his travels as q companion and
nurse by a niece OF his wife. He was a
member and deacon for many years of the
Baptist church, in the edifice of which
| where he worshiped in Milwaukee he
placed beautiful memorial window in
| memory Of his departed wife.
| He was a generous man, OF more than
ordinary intellectual endowments, which
by reading, travel and contact with men,
made him a cultivated Christian gentle
man, with whom it was a pleasure to meet
and converse. His nature was sunny, and
he enjoyed good health until within a few
wears of the end Of his long life when his
hearing became impaired, and the in
firmities of age and weight Of years
bore heavily upon him.
He had wide circle Of acquaintance
and friends by whom he vas highly es-
| teemed. His remains were buried at Mil
waukee by the side of his departed COM
panion and wife. r. G. F. c.

Fire at Beddington TanEery.

The old tannery boarding house, stable
and outbuiidings at North Beddington
were burned last Friday afternoon. The
property was owned by Eben f. Church,
of Cherryfield, and was built in 1884, at
which time he also erected large tannery.
The tannery was burned some years ago,
and since then the hotel was in little use.
1t had been vacant during the winter, but
the owner and a man had been in the
house while the seasons planting was
done.
No signs of fire were about the prem
ises when they went to their work about
a mile distant. James Small, mail carrier
from Cherryfield, arrived just in time to
see the flames breaking through the roof
Of the ell. There being no help at hand,
the buildings soon burned to the ground.
The buildings were erected at cost of
1850, and with them were destroyed
furnishings to the amount Of $500. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.

Flattery, when practiced as fine art, is
called tact.
He who believes in luck usually gets the
hard brand.
Fortune seldom knocks at the door Of a
chronic kicker.
Wise is he who profits by the foolish
ness OF others.
No man rises without being knocked
down q few times.
Ignorance ceases to be bliss when you
begin to realize it.
