IHE HAMILTON
LARGE HOTEL AT cHEeEAcuE
ISLAND WILL OPEN SATURDAY.

Proprietor z. ~. Paine EntertsIned I,
House Party Of Friends Saturday.
The Hamilton. the largest hotel al
Great Chebeague. will open for a
busy season next Saturday. Most of
the rooms are booked for the height
OF the season and many have engaged
accommodations extending over a per.
iod Of two months or more Mr.. Ed
gar II. Paine. the proprietor. has per.
sonally super 'sed all preparations
within the hotel. II Is immediately
clean and in it's usual good taste as
to furnishings. Hardly too much car
be said for this splendid house. Its
unrivalled location fronting the IA
nous bathing beach: its nicely Sc
lected furniture, well planned archi
lecture and always unexcelled cuisine
have been the means Of placing The
Hamilton in the lists Of strictly Al
houses on the coast Of Maine.
The present year is the fourth
since IL was built by Mr.. Harry l.
Hamilton. who owns the property and
gives most careful attention to its
welfare. Mr.. Paine brings a selec,
clientele Of his own this year and
with the patronage of guests who al
ready consider II their summer home
in Casco Bay, 1t is quite possible. tha,
an extension may be needed before
1909. A new gas plant with the latest
improvements has been installed this
spring. This supplies gas as used. and
does not store II in pressure tank
Some of the season guests who have
taken rooms and are to arrive at. OF
soon after the opening are: Mrs. NJ
p. knowlton and party Of four from
Springfield. Mass; Mr.. and Mrs. Stan
ley Addicks with child Of Philadel
phia: Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. County and
family Of st. Davids, Pa; Mrs. E. E.
Brigham and Mrs. r. B. Coxford O,
New York, who were guests at the
Aucocisco House, Cliff Island, under
Mr.. Paine's proprietorship at that no
tel; also Miss Nellie F. Eaton OF
Somerville, Mass, who will accom-
pany them; Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson c
Newell of Springfield; Mr.. and Mrs
Henry Koehler Of New York and 9th
ers.
On Sunday Proprietor Paine was
called on by a party of friends who
desired to express their appreciation
OF his well known hospitality and un.
swerving good nature by a pre-open
ing visit. They were entertained at
bachelor dinner by the host, who
could recall with pleasure meeting
not quite year past when in Scan.
dinavia, at which at least two of the
party, Messrs. Won Lutken and Erick.
son, were present. The congenial
group consisted Of II. A. Pingree, NJ.

Cheap Eating.

Owing to the abundance and cheap
ness Of meat in Australia, restaurant
keepers have for years been able to
give astopishingly liberal meals for
IL cents. But they are not satisfied
with the margin Of profit, and they
have decided in conference to raise
the price to IA cents. One Of the rea-
sons assigned for this step is the
abnormal appetites" Of their Gus
toners. II is the hospitable custom
In Australian popular restaurants not
to charge for a second helping Of
anything, and you can have as many
cups of tea as you please after hav.
ing paid for the first one. II is the
freedom with which this privilege
unknown In America-is exercised
that cuts down the profts.-Milwau.

straiaht at the Mark.

Governor Johnson of Minnesota, has
begun his Swing around the circle" "
and is improving his opportunities to
aim right at the mark. So long as
the government, through its tariff sys-
TEN, creates inequalities and does in
justice. he will content himself with
assailing its policy, rather than at
tack the lesser creations of the State
whose imitation Of the government is
natural. Face to face with new and
extreme claims by Federal executive,
legislative and judicial officials, as
TO the sovereign powers of the nation,
Governor Johnson challenges the new
claims and summons the people back
to support a theory Of government
which makes the Federal power one

il, or because of other good reasons
they come to Portland in larger
throngs than ever on that day. There.
fore the advisability of selecting an.

day has been proposed by several
firms. One large house, Owen, Moore
& Co., took radical step two years
ago and have since been closing all
day every Saturday in July and keep.
ing open all day Saturdays in August.
In looking over the situation in other
cities similarly situated, with summer
trade potent factor, We find that
at Newport and Providence, r. l., also
at New Haven. Conn, and at Beverly
and Salem, Mass, the stores keep
open all day Saturday, but in some
of these cities they close a half day
Thursday. In Portland no dry goods
stores are open any evening in the
week, while at some or the other
places mentioned they are open one
or two evenings. 1t is believed that
a half holiday on Wednesday or Thurs
day would give better satisfaction to
the trade in Portland perhaps than
Saturday, but the dealers are not
agreed on this point. In New York
City, where the big dry goods houses
close up Saturday at noon, it is no
appreciable loss to the firms them
selves. or Inconvenience to the people,
because as matter of fact everybody
who can do SO leaves the city during
the summer, and Saturday afternoon
would be a quiet one for the stores at
best, the situation in that respect be-
ing the opposite from Portland.

Mrs, Bullock Dead.

After several months Of suffering
from a stroke of paralysis, Mrs. CO.
Bullock died at her home in this city
last Friday. The funeral services
wereconducted from the NJ. Z. church
Monday afternoon BY Presiding Ell
der Hoyt Of this district, and inter.
ment made at Walnut Hill,
The news Of her death was receiv.
ed with general regret all over the
city, as she was a woman who had
made herself both beloved by her
kindly and gentle nature and exceed.
ingly useful as worker in the uplift
OF the community. Especially was
this true Of her in her intercourse
with the young women. Of whom she
had large class in her Sunday
school, and before whom she walkad
as a splendid example Of that nobil-
ity of womanhood which makes the
world better place. Her influence
extended in many directions; always
quiet as the sunlight, always gentle.
always effective. And the wealth Of
floral tributes at her funeral, from the
many who had known and loved her,
showed how very much she had en-
deared herself to all.
We are indebted to a mutual friend
for the following brief resume of her
life:
Sophia Lodency Harris, daughter
of H. ]. and Harriet Harris, was born
in Brownsville, Jefferson county,
New York, Nov 16, IS47. Here she
grew to womanbood. She united
with the Methodist Episcopal church
when she was about IA years of &c.
In this church she continued her
membership until the time of her
death.
On August 10, 1868, she was mar.
ried to c. Q. Bullock. In the spring
of 1865, she, with her husband, came
to Kansas, where they both engaged
in educational work. They continued
in this work until 1894, when they re-
tired from teaching and removed to
Kingman, Kansas, where they had
resided until her decease.-Kingman
Journal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bullock taught for
several years in the schools at Elm
wood, where they had many friends,
who join with the writer and their
former pupils in extending our sincere
sympathy.
