Death of Mrs. Deborah Nye.

Mrs. Deborah r. Eye died at Bos
ton, September 20, after a brief i'll
ness. The deceased was the daughter
OF Captain Benjamin Eaton and Mary
Moore Eaton and was born On the old
Eaton homestead, in the eastern part
of this town, June "a, 1881. Her
father, Captain Eaton, long since de-
ceased, was one Of the prominent
men of this community during the
first half Of the last century.
With the exception Of a few years
passed in Pittsfeld, Mrs. Nye's home
was in Skowhegan until 1895 when she
removed to Massachusetts where she
remained until the time Of her death.
She had, therefore, very many close
friends in this county, who learn of
her death with regret and who will
recall at this time her beautiful
Christian spirit and many virtues.
Her friendliness for every one was
fully appreciated but only her own
family could know the extent Of her
devotion and self sacrifice.
Besides one brother, Calvin Eaton
of this place, the deceased is survived
by six children, Benjamin E, Of St
Paul, Mimi, Mrs. Ella /. Austin Of Ha-
waii, Miss Alberta f. of Boston, Mrs.
Geo. p. Dillenback of New York City,
Frank E. Of So. Berwick, Me, and
Ralph L. OF Brooklyn, n. Y. OF these
the four youngest were present at her
last illness. Two grandchildren also
survive, sons of Benz. Z. Nye OF ST.
Paul. The remains were brought to
this place, and funeral services were
observed at the home of her niece,
Mrs. Minnie Green, on East Front
street, Thursday of last week, Rev
B. B. Merrill of the Island Avenue
Congregational Church officiating
A solo, "The Mothers Evening Pray
er," was rendered by Mrs Emma
H. Dunton. The floral tributes were
profuse and very beautiful and spoke
silently the wish of those by whom
they were sent to indicate their re-
spect and love for the departed
Three of her children accompanied
the remains to this place and were
present at the funeral, Miss Alberta,
Mrs. Dillenback and Ralph. a fourth,
Benjamin E., of St. Paul, arrived
Thursday night and was present at
the interment which took place at the
South Cemetery.

In Memoriam.
Dora Parker Cleveland.

Entered "The Beautiful World Be-
yond" those were her own words
used at the time of her fathers going
last January on Sunday, September
80, 1907.
A faithful, tired teacher has found
rest from her labors, and while we re-
joice for her, and think of the glad
reunion with her dear mother and
father, yet our hearts are heavy with
sorrow. We wonder
what she is doing, and what
she has done,
Since the world faded out
from her vision
And Heaven is begun
Never was there more devoted
teacher, a more faithful friend, and
though she has gone from our sight
vet the inspiration of her life shall re-
main with us-and be as a light to
guide us into better, truer, more help
full ways of living.
This little tribute, poor and made
quate as it is, comes from one who
has long been
HER FRIEND.

Which Shall it be?

BY the will of Miss Anna T. Jeanes,
member of one of the oldest and
wealthiest of Pennsylvania Quaker
families, Swarthmore college is to re-
ceive bequest of coal lands valued
at 81, 900, 900 If it gives up forever all
participation in intercollegiate ath-
letics. If the trustees solemnly
pledge themselves to forbid every
possible form of physical contest with
other institutions of learning, from
football to lawn tennis, the lands on
which are collieries paying heavy
royalties go to the institution abso-
lutely; if they fail to do this the prop
erty goes to other charities.
Swarthmore college is a co-educa-
tional institution, maintained by
wealthy Quakers of Philadelphia, on
the outskirts of the city. 1t has
always been distinguished for the
athletic prowess of its students. It's
football, baseball and lacrosse teams
particularly have excelled, while it
has produced several intercollegiate
champions in general athletics.
Members of the Jeanes family have
from time to time helped the college
until today, its productive fund is
about 100000. Miss Jeanes was al
ways opposed to athletics, holding
they absorbed too much of the
students time and engendered harsh
feelings between colleges. She made
known this in her will.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear There IS
only one way to cure deafness, and toat is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition Of the mucous lin

is inAamed YOU have a rumhling sound or inn
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely clos
ed Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Rammatiol can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing viii
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing hut

From Hancock County.

Mrs. Vesta Moore of Lakewood has
flock of hens which seem bent on
establishing records. One of the
hens recently laid two eggs within FIVE
minutes, both perfect eggs, but the
second one with a thin but not soft
shell. The item in the paper a few
weeks ago about that North Deer Isle
egg within an egg must have been
heard of in the Lakewood hen yard,
for twice recently this remarkable
flock has laid eggs within eggs-whe-
ther or not it was the same hen, Mrs.
Moore does not know. One of these
curious eggs was brought into the
Ellsworth Amer rican Office this week.
The outer egg measures et inches in
circumference the long way. one
end of the outer egg small hole has
been broken, and inside can be seen
the inner egg, an ordinary sized egg
with hard she'll.

DIR. Wiley, the chief chemist of the

of young men, upon whom he will ex-
pertinent with the drinks usually sold
at soda fountains and in "pop" bottles

deleterious or otherwise. Young
gentlemen who have fingered long

these experiments.

1t is certainly discouraging to notice
that some of the members of the
Board of Education of New York city
are attempting to revive that relic of
barbarism, corporal punishment in the
public schools. The time was when it
was thought to be the right thing to
argue with the bodies instead of the
minds of the childen, but that belongs
to the dead past. A blow on the side
of the head never stimulated the
brain power, but it helped nightly to
break down the manhood. If there
are teachers who do not and cannot
maintain discipline without the use Of
the rod, they should feel perfectly
free to resign. And let this doctrine
apply to Maine as well as to New
York,

Another college President has the
boldness to come out against games
that detract from college honor.
President VIM. j. Tucker of Dart
mouth, in recent address, said:
81 am prepared, as lover and de-
fender of college athletics to advise
the elimination of baseball as an in
collegiate game from college sports, /
would confne athletic games to games
which have no outside market value,
unless we can make the price we pay
and which we do pay most literally a
sufficient reward-namely, college
honor"

Very justly indeed, the prison in
spectors are hereafter to exclude ex
cursionists from different parts of the
state from visiting the state prison.
Some of these people have come in an
intoxicated condition, and cir pres
ence has had bad effect upon the
discipline of the prison. No other
state allows any such thing, and it
never ought to have been allowed
here. Friends and relatives of the
prisoners are always welcome under
proper supervision.

When asked along what line he
would speak, he replied: Il am going
to talk a great deal about the consti.

opinion is one Of the most serious
questions before the people of the

any candidate. Therefore | will say
little of myself and my candidacy out
win confine my remarks to the con-
situation and the present political con.

Mr. Hoffman has taken active par,
in every Democratic campaign In Ok

one during the Spanish-American war
when he organized a company and as
captain went TO the war. Outside OF
this he had always been a fighter Tor

many of those in states whose repre-

llarking back to the question Of the
gorrymander, this is fair to say: The
only way in which the political bias
of the people in the various counties
could be discovered was by their
votes for the delegates to the m.

should be regarded by the American
people OF today as Of as much import
ance as was the admission Of Kansas
to the Union. II is true that no such
issue as that OF the extension OF slay-
cry is involved here. But an Issue al
most rs great-an issue which per-
haps is oven greater. Is involved. and
that Is, whether n political party or n

To deny to 100000 people living

come members of the Union and to
elect their own officers for their own
