who terminated very successful six years
pastorate at the Congregational church in
SearSport last Sunday, will assume his new
duties with the church at Houton. Sunday
May 9Th, MI. Williams came from WinslcW,
where he had been located for III years,
and had been instrumental in the last year
of his services there in raising sufficient
funds to thoroughly renovate their church.
4 similar proposition confronted him in
Searsport The old church was sadly i'll
need of repairs, and at first the parishioners
were inclined to think that it would be i'm
possible to raise the large amount necessary
for the work, but they became imbued with
the enthusiasm which dominated their pas
tor, the funds flowed in rapidly, and during
his pastorate he raised over eleven thousand
dollars. No one could ask for a finer me-
mortal than our modernized church, with
its every convenience, electric lights, beau
tiful windows, and grand organ. The church
has not only proSpered materially but spirit
ually, thirty four new members having been
added during the six years. The Sunday
school also has greatly increased in numbers
under his guidance. 1t is with sincerest re-
greet that we lose our pastor and family.
A reception was rendered Tuesday evening,
and large number of friends were present
who extended the best wishes for their
future welfare. In appreciation of his
work here his friends presented a Substan-
tial purse of gold. He was also remembered
in like manner by his parishioners at the
Harbor.

turing.
The mountains have been covered
here with tall and stately timber and

A Wonderful Genius Gone.

Mr.. Hiram P Tasker has just receiv-
ed from the United States patent office
at Washington, DIG, photographic
copies of the detailed drawings and
specifications for eleven patents grant
ed to his son, Vernon Compton Tasker
now deceased.
These patents are for Improve
ments'' in the breech loading mechan-
ism of Rapid Fire Guns, " all of which
have been approved and adopted by the
ordnance department of the United
States army and navy. All guns here
after manufactured for the govern
ment, sseither in Europe or America, are
required by theEcontracts, to contain
the 'Tasker improvements. Some
ten years ago, Compton organized the
United States Ordnance Company and
established his offices in the Home Life
Building, Washington, D. c., where he
secured contracts from the government
to supply.the army and navy with i'm
proved rapid fire guns, shells, ammuni-
ton, etc. kThe business of the United
Ordnance Co. is still being conducted by
A. Y. Leech, Jr., a confidential and
trusted friend of poor Compton's,
Mr.. Tasker hereby extends cordial
invitation to the many schoolmates and
friends of poor Compton" to call at
his room, No. s, Hotel Manhattan, Oak
land, Nd, and examine these evidences
of the results of Compton's wonderful
inventive genius, brainwork, handicraft
and will power.

fall, his only sister, Mrs, Reed Hanna.
went into spasms and her life was dis
paired of. Here Compton S big hearted
generoslty,and affection asserted them
selves. In order to save the life of his
sisters.he sacrificed his own. For many
years Compton left lung was affected
withstuherculosis. superinduced, so the
specialists say, by drinking the milk of
cows affected by that dreadful malady.
After the prostration of his sister, Miss
Wilson of Calvert county, their cousin
and faithful nurse, accompanied them
both" Babe" and Compton-on a long
trip to the health resorts of Mexico and
the southern states. On their return
they took steamer at New Orleans for
a trip up the Mississippi river. When
between NatcheZ, Miss, and Memphis,
Tenn, all the doctors on the boat were
called to Compton s hammock. Among
the number was Dr. johnson, of Cum
berland, Md, who stood by his side
when he died.
My.reason for publishing these facts
is to avoid the necessity of answering
so many questions on a subject that is
exceedingly painful and distressing to
me. Very truly yours,
HIRAM P. TASKER.
n. B.-I forget to say that several
years ago Compton visited all the large
gun works at Essen, London, Paris,
etc, and produced patents for his in
vention in England, Germany and
France. The United States Ordnance
Co., of which he was president and
chief stock holder, will hereafter re-
ceive royalties on all guns made in
those countries. 1t is sad and mean-
choly reflection that after he had climb
ed to the very topmost rung of the lad
der in his profession, that he should be
stricken down in the zenith of his glory
and usefulness.
