FOSTER FAMILY REUNION. I.
Descendants Of Zabud Foster an
wife Gather In Ellsworth.


Descendants Of Zabud Foster and
wife Gather In Ellsworth.
A reunion Of more than ordinary inter-
est was held in Ellsworth yesterday,
when the descendants Of Zabpd and Nancy
Miller Foster got together. Unlike many
OF the family reunions which have grown
to large proportions and brought into the
circle many remote connections, making
the reunion more the nature Of big pic
mic, this reunion was confined to one
family, and reached only to the third
genention; yet about forty were present.
Zabud Foster and his wife came TO Ellis
worth from Bristol, Me. Mr.. Foster was
one OF family OF thirteen children, and
Mrs. Foster wss OF family Of nine. To
them were born ten children, all Of whom
are living, all Of whom married and have
children, and some OF them grandchil-
dren. Among the children Of Zabud Fos-
ter and their wives and husbands there
has been but one death, that OF Mrs.
Miller Foster.
OF the ten children, all but one, John
b. Foster, OF Deer isle, were present at
the reunion. The oldest representative Of
the family present was Mrs. Emma Dew
creux, who is in her eighty-sixth year,
and smart and active, and the youngest
was little Constance Osgood, OF Els
worth, aged twenty months, also smart
and active.
The reunion was held under the beauti-
full oaks on Turner's hill, near the site OF
the old homestead of the Foster family.
At o'clock dinner was served. Rev. ".
r. Hendee, pastor OF the Methodist
church, offered prayer. There are famous
cooks in the Foster family, and the dinner
spread on Turner'S hill yesterday was
delight to eye and palate.
At a business meeting family organ
ization was formed, the following officers
being elected: President, c. r. Foster;
vice. president, stetson Foster; treasurer,
Austin n. Foster; secretary, Georgia c.

Junior Senator Denies Saving
Anything at all Harsh About
President Roosevelt.
FAIRBANKS IS HIS CHOICE
And He Says the Country
Would Make No Mistake
in Nominating Him.

WHEELING. W. Va, Dec. 2S.-
Il made a business speech to the
business men and the president and
his message were not mentioned in
it"
This was the declaration of United
States Senator Nathan B. Scott when
queried in regard to the speech he
made at the pottery manufacturers
convention at Washington. Senator
Scott was quoted as having criticised
the President and ridiculed some OF
the remarks made in the message to
congress. but the senator's own YER
sion's of the matter is that given
above.
The senator was asked as to sem
timent at the capital for the Republi-
can nomination for President
Presidential sentiment is divided
there" he said. There has as yet
been no crystalization and all of the
candidates have some supporters.
In my opinion West Virginia would
he wise in sending to the national
convention at Chicago an uninstruct-
ed delegation. We can't ever tell
just how things viii, come around
and we would not like to send a DEL
egation instructed for n man that
doesn't stand any show If they did
that their influence would be entirely
gone. Tt is my idea to send a del
egation of good strong men who will
go uninstructed and then let them
Judge the situation and what is best
to do when they get there.
"Mr. Cannon has the advantage OF
the Republican congressman all be-
ing his warm personal friends and
should they go into their individual
districts and make fight for dele
gates it would make him a pretty
strong candidate and he would be
hard to beat.
"I would say that Taft, possibly.
is leading at the present time, but
You know he Is in danger of being
slaughtered in the house OF his own
friends, or. rather in the house or
Foraker's friends.
"If Foraker succeeds in getting
fair share of the delegates from
Ohio. It is going to be pretty hard
to nominate Taft.
Fairbanks is a good clean, strong
man. and the country would make
no mistake in nominating him In
my opinion he Is going to show a
great deal more strength when he
comes to the convention than a good
many people look for"
