The publication of the Evening Sen
tinel will be suspended at the close of
this week. After a careful canvass Of
the local field both in the line of sub
scriptions and of advertising, we have
satisfied ourselves that the Water
Vile Morning Sentinel fills SO COM
pletely the newspaper needs of this
community, at the present time, that
no opportunity exists to build up i
permanent business for such an even
ing pager as we desire to publish, if
we are to publish any.
1t may be that at some future time
the growth of this city and it's imme-
date surroundings will create a de-
mand for an evening paper. If that de-
mand is ever made apparent to us, we
shall resume the publication of the
Evening Sentinel. 1t does not exist at
present. Our brief but thorough expert
ment satisfies us of that.
Such subscribers as have paid in ad-
vance for the Evening Sentinel for a
time beyond August Sd, will receive a
check for the balance due them. in the
early part of the week, as soon as we
can properly adjust their accounts.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Smith Of this
town. who went to California last
March returned home Wednesday

that the Pine Tree State is the best

almost unbearablc to him.
On their return to Maine Mr.. and Mrs.

NINETEEN YEARS SERVICE,
Remarkable Record of WaterviIIe and
Oakland Ry. Conductor.

Reference was made in these columns
a few days ago to the long and faith
full services of Motorman Theodore
Stevens of the Waterville & Fairfield
Railroad and, in the person of Albion
p. Mace of the Waterville & Oakland
Railroad there is Il veteran electric
railway man who has served as con-
ductor for 10 years.
Mr.. Mace began his career as con-
ductOr on the horse cars which ran be-
tween Waterville and Fairfield before
the electric system was installed and
was the one who rang in the first fare.
AT that time the company owned 80
horses and six cars. He recalls the
time when old Doctor the tow horse
used in drawing heavily loaded cars
up the hills, baked and he was Obliged
to unhitch him and ride him into Wat
ervllle for another horse. There were
at the time about a hundred passen-
gers on the car and they were some
what impatient before he arrived with
new horse at the end of about" half
an hour. One days work of this road
as recalled by Mr.. Mace was 6666 fares.
One of the old horse cars No. 4. is now
used as a camp at Snow pond.
When the electric road was put in
between Watervillc and Fairfield Mr.
Mace again rang in the first fare on
the new road. For period of Is yeai S
he served the road faithfully and when
the Watervillc & Oakland road was
completed the management called on
Mr.. Mace, on account of his experience
and ability, then for the third time
Mr.. Mace rang in the first fare on a
new road. The first car over the Wat
crville & Oakland carried 1897 pas
sengers during the first day. On an
other occasion the total for the day on
his car was 300 passengers.
During his 10 years of service Mr..
Mace has travelled a great many miles,
as a moments thought will show. Dur
ing his Is years on the Wate-ville &
Fairfield a trip of . miles was made II
times per day and on the Watcrville &
Oakland he has been making IL trips
OF III miles each for the past four
years. While on the WatcrviIle &
Fairfield Mr.. Mace ran on the might
shit for six years and during that
time never lost an evening. He thor
ouShly enjoys his work and says that
he never makes a run without finding
something of interest and endowment

An Enjoyable Outinu.

A. F. Armstrong, manager Of the
Grand Union Tea Co. of this city. en-
tertained the local agents Of the CON-
pAny, r. II. Harlow, II. r. Narney of
Fairfield and A. Il. Skillin of Oakland,
on a fishing trip to Snow pond Tues
day. The party were taken up the
lake by Ben Smith in his naphtha
launch and after enjoying the fishing
for some time, partook of a shore din
ner prepared by Mr.. Narncy. Mr.. Var
ncy proved himself an experienced
caterer and all members of the party
were loud in their praise of the re-
past.
Tho remainder of the day was de-
voted to fishing and til" result was
that the party brought in one of the
finest strings of pickcrcl that has been
taken from the pond for some time.
There were IA picknrcl in the string
and their total weight was a little over
81 pounds. The largest one weighed
4 pounds. This was pulled in by Mr..
Earncy. Besides the pickercl a fine
catch of bass was made, Of which Mr..
Armstrong caught the largest. beau
ty of pounds 3 ounces in weight Mr..
Harlow had an exciting struggle with
a monster turtle which weighed about
% pounds. He had Eaffcd the turtle
and pulled it partially into the boat
when it broke away taking a part Of
the gaff with it. Although Mr.. Skillin
did not make as large Il catch as some
of the others he is quite positive that
their quality will more than make up
for their lack of size.
This was the fourth annual outing
given by Mr. Armstrong to his agents
and it was heartily enjoyed by all.
