The Passing Of the Veterans
ELIAS n. NOBLE.

Mr.. Elias Merritt Noble died In Hiram
Jan. 21st, of tuberculosis, aged 81 years,
2 days. He was son of Eleazer Noble
of Baldwin, where he was born, and re-
sided many years, serving the public
officially and otherwise in various capa-
cities. he has also served In Hiram as
Superintendent of schools, and in other
important Offices. He was fine scholar,
q veteran teacher, . deep thinker, read.
or of wide range, possessed . large fund
of useful and general information, hence
his thought and words were instructive,
and we'll chosen, and much above the
grade of current gossip. He was dill
gent and thrifty farmer, a skillful mason,
and an excellent citizen. He was an
eloquent and forceful speaker, and Was
ever active and alert In the front of
toilers and thinkers. A leader of lead
ers, always ready to champion the cause
of tho common schools, and the common
people. and act for the greatest good OF
all. His last public effort was last au-
tumn, when he attended dag raising at
the district school house, and gave an
able and impressive address on the
Origin and History of the Flag. He was
. gentleman of stainless morals, and cor
rect habits, and in recent years his reli-
gious sentiments seemed to crystalline
around the Esd Psalm, and he died
humbly trusting in its precepts. he
leaves two sons, three daughters and
numerous other relatives. Although his
funeral was held on the coolest day ever
recorded in Hiram, q large number OF
persons assembled to offer their tribute
of respect to his long and useful life.

THE PEST SEEMS TO BE WELL DIS.
rRIBuTED IN TOWN.

N. Wright on Friday brought into
the Democrat Office brown-tail moth
nest picked from On apple tree IN bid
two south Of the village. The nest Was
not submitted to the opinion OF an ex.
pert, but was shown to several who
have seen the genuine nests, and Wa
pulled open and the caterpillars inside
were examined with . microscope.
There II NO doubt about it, being the
real thing. The only cheerful feature
about. the find 10 that he went over the
whole orchard and found only this one.
The only nests previously identified
without doubt - brown.tails in Paris of
which the Democrat has been informed
were some that were found by Fred s.
Jackson ON High Street. The ono found
by Mr.. Wright ID some four miles from
Mr.. Jackson's, and indicates that the
pest Is not by any means confined to one
section of the town, and must be looked
after sharply II Il 10 not to do damage
beyond repair.
In the warrant for the annual town
meeting will be IN article regarding the
matter of guarding against this and
other pests. and it il one on which some
action should be taken. A bill passed
last week In the legislature makes
quite large state appropriation for the
fight against the pests, but It puts the
duty and the expense of beginning the
contest on the towns, no town getting
any help from tho state until after 1t has
spent one-twentieth Of one per cent Of
its valuation. In the town Of Paris It
would be necessary to expend $3.50 be-
fore any help would be given by the
state. Above that amount certain
portion of the expenditure would be re-
imbursed by the state.

Blaze at Rumford Falls.
sULPHITE DEPARTMENT OF OXFORD
MILL DAMAGED SOME THOUSANDS.

Fire on tho top floor Of tho sulphite
department of the Oxford paper mill at
Rumford Falls last Tuesday morning did
damage estimated at about $50, 600.
The roof was burned of the building,
which 10 six stories high, about l1O
cords Of chips were burned, and the
motor and chip conveyor were damaged.
There was . cement floor in tho story
where tho fire was. which kept tho fire
from getting into the other parts OF the
building.
The 6rst alarm was given at 5 A. NJ,
and it Was 8 O'Clock before the fire was
considered under control. Every avail.
able man was called out to fight the fire.
It was very cold, and high wind made
the danger of the blaze spreading great.
It was called by Chief Carroll of the fire
department the worst blaze to fight that
he ever had in town. and 1t was not until
the next morning that 1t was all out.
Work was begun repairing ~ soon -
possible. None of the workmen will
lose any time, and it is thought the mill
will not be obliged to suspend operations
at all.

Il that there was no hitch in the pro-
ceedings, which had previously been
been rehearsed.
Chinese men, women and children
all relatives and close friends of the
contracting parties. attended in all
the brilliancy of their native dress.
but only the relatives stayed to the
feast with the American guests. Both
bride and groom are educated in sew
eral languages, and in perfect English
they answered that each took the
other for veal or woe The bride. who
was very shy. carried an immense
bunch of white roses, which were
given her by Miss Gertrude Halleck.
and blushingiy she often hid her face
among the pOsies. or held her wide
silken sleeve over her eyes to hide
herself from the curious gaze OF the
American guests. When the couple
were pronounced man and wife the
guests began kissing the bride IN good
old American fashion, which caused
her to fairly burn with bushes. and
did not seem TO please tine groom or
his august and dlgnifed brother-In-
law.
Since the popular Chin Mon Lung
returned 10 Denver from San Fran
cisco with his beautiful bride. there
has been much rejoicing and celobra-
ton in Chinatown society. More Gian
