REPUBLICAN, RALLY.

Senator Borah, of Idaho. and Hon,
Forrest Goodwin, the Speakers.
Hancock hall was filed last Monday
evening at the first republican rally Of the
campaign. Senator W. e. Borah, OF Idaho,
and Hon. Forrest Goodwin, of Skowhegan,
were the speakers.
TIE Bar Harbor Cadet band furnished
the music. After few selections in post
ONCE square, the band marched to the
hall, which quickly became filled to over
flowing.
Judge John A. Peters, republican candi-
GATE Tor representative to the legislature,
presided. Among those who occupied the
platform with him and the distinguished
speakers were Mayor Simonton, ex- Repre-
sentative f. G. Burrill, ex- MAYOR Hager-
thy, John 0. Whitney, County Attorney
Z. ID. Wood, OF Bar Harbor, A. w. Curtis,
John Malone, p. b. Day, B. F. Gray and
F. w. Rollins.
Judge Peters gracefully introduced Mr..
Goodwin. who dealt almost entirely with
state issues, arguing that what the demo-
Gratis were talking most about were really
not issues at all; that there was but one
real issue resubmission.
Mr.. Goodwin is a fluent and pleasing
speaker, and his discussion of the politi-
cal situation was easily within the COM
prehension OF all.
His description of the State as big
business corporation; how its revenue is
obtained and how it is spent; how every
expenditure is carefully scrutinized by a
competent and faithful auditor; how
taxes are assessed, how they are appor-
toned; how in large measure they come
back to the towns these and many other
phases OF State government were clearly
and ably discussed.
After a selection by the band, Judge
Peters introduced Senator Borah, who dis
cussed national issues only, prefacing his
remarks with reasons why the discussion
OF national issues at this time is justi-
fable.
Senator Borah's was one of the best
political addresses ever heard in Ellsworth.
After paying a handsome tribute to Mr..
Bryan as man, he set forth his reasons
for believing him dangerous to the welfare
OF the country as President.
His dissection of Organism from 1892,
when Mr.. Bryan first became conspicuous
in public life, until now was masterful.
Free trade in 1892, the silver heresy in
1896, Imperialism in 1900, militarism in
1904, and trial by jury in injunction cases
in 1903, were all set forth as either vision
airy or involving disaster.
Senator Borah talked for more than an
hour, holding the closest attention Of the
audience. His tribute to Senator Hale
was most gracefully done, and brought
forth hearty applause.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Fire-Escapes Probably VIII Not be
Built this Year.

'<eNesHs0 AODsssS ~OS ~
Built this Year.
1t seems probable that owing to lack OF
funds, the plan OF equipping several Of the
school buildings with fire-escapes will not
be carried out this year. The school board
had received bids for the work, and it was
estimated the fire-escapes proposed would
cost in the vicinity OF 1915.
Mayor Simonton called the attention Of
the school board to lack of funds, and at
meeting Of the school board last evening
resolutions were adopted disclaiming
liability of the board for accident in case
OF fire. Chairman Killam objected to the
wording of the resolutions on the ground
that they conveyed the impression that
the school board and the city government
were at loggerheads, but the other two
members voted for the resolutions as pre-
sented.
At the same meet ing of the school board
the matter OF continuing the school in
district No. 10, Shore road, was taken
up. The board a few weeks ago voted to
discontinue the school, but on the repre-
sentation that several other children have
recently moved into the district, the city
government advised the reopenlng OF the
school. The school board wi investigate,
and if deemed advisab BILE the school will be
opened.
For several years past the city Of Ellis
worth has been paying tuition and board
Tor three pupils who live near the Orland
line, in Ellsworth, sending them to school
IN Orland. This year there are four pupils
IN the community. Supt. OF Schools Scott
mas made arrangements by which these
pupils will be sent to school In district
NO. 9-two will be boarded in the school
district and two will be transported by
their parents. The cost will be II so week
ior each child. The city will save about
*iGO year by this arrangement.
In addition to new system OF writing
ana new reading books throughout the
ellsworth schools, the school board has
adopted new arithmetics in all the grades
using them-the fourth to ninth inclusive.
Inc SCHOOLS will This year be in better
shape than for several years past: SUPP.
scott has made some very advantageous
Trades in the purchase Of new books. The
school board requests that all families
having school books, which are city prop
TTrty, turn them in to the school board.
me books are worth about one-third their
original cost for exchange, and il all the
scnooi books scattered about the city are
turned in, it would result in q great saw
ing to the city.

BOSTON THEATRE.

The engagement Of Denman Thompson
at the Boston theatre is proving one OF the
most important ever given at the Hub.
For some years, although 1.-THE Old Home
stead" enjoys the same popularity every
where, Mr.. Thompson has not appeared as
Joshua Whitcomb, except in the larger
cities. His present appearance was de-
cided upon through arrangements made
with Mr.. Keith, and the remarkable
powers of the man has been the subject OF
general comment all the week.
The production is on a larger scale than
ever before, much Of the scenery being put
on with greater attention to detail, made
possible by the great stage OF this theatre.

baEAKER--FINE HALL EXHIBIT
TUESDAYS RACES.

xpr;ght skies and Q bracing atmosphere
o.,ed everybody who for weeks has
=, anticipating the Bluehill fair, and
natural results followed crowds were
,,v on their way to Mountain park,
an the result that Tuesday closed with
cord breaking first day attendance.
4os estimated that not far from 1000
s;ted the grounds during the day.
The horse-racing this year promised to
hotter than usual, and that Of Tuesday
ustified the promise. The track was in
ine condition.
THE HALL EXHIBITS.
The display of farm products this year
ia far ahead OF anything ever placed on
axb;bition at the fair. Not only is the
orslity above the average, but also in
,'uantity is far ahead Of that shown in
nreyious years. So true is this that the
MANAGEMENT is embarrassed for room in
which properly to display all that has
been offered.
The cattle display, too, is ahead OF that
of former years, even the addition to the
cattle shed being scarcely sufficient to
accommodate the increased exhibits. The
display Of horses, on the other hand, Is
not up to the average.
The always with-us merry -go-round is
very much in evidence, and it may be said
that the machine music II grinds out is
this wear not so very much out Of tune.
There are fakirs galore, most Of whom have
familiar look to the chronic fair-goer.
Platform performances in front OF the
grand stand were given ct intervals dur
ing the day by q troupe OF colored people,
headed by the ubiquitous professor
Baker.
Lynchs band, Of Ellsworth Falls, occu-
pied a platform near the judges stand,
and did yesterday its part towards the
entertainment of the crowd. This band
will be in attendance through the three
DAYS OF the fair.
Tuesday evening was, as usual, lively
one for this ordinarily quiet village. The
Pendleton house, the Bluehill house and
John Snow had all they could do to take
care of their guests, and they are wonder
ing what they will do Wednesday and
Thursday.
Tuesday evening there was q dance IN
the town hall, music being furnished BY
Wilson's orchestra, OF Ellsworth. There
will be dance each evening Of the fair.
The baseball game Tuesday was between
Bluehill juniors and West Brooksville, the
former winning by score OF III too.
