UPHAM SHOWERS TREAT.

A Native of Prospect Who Was Promi-
nent in Eastport and Pioneer in the
Canning Business.
The Eastport Sentinel is repubEshing
from its files for 1887 the Political Histo-
ry of Eastport. Of the events in 1858 it
says:
At this time important changes were
taking place in the political organizations
of the country. The Free-soil party, the
outgrowth of the antislavery sentiment,
had assumed large proportions, and
another short lived party called Know
Nothings, with native American senti-
ments, had sprung into existence. These
drew largely from both Of the old parties,
and in 1854 the Republican party may be
said to have been born, absorbing the
Free-soil party, and in the northern
States the bulk of the Wing party. A
fragment of the latter still adhered to
the old name, and were known as
straight Wing. In 1855 this element
united with the Democratic party and
elected Judge Samuel Wells governor of
the State, and the same combination also
carried Eastport and chose Upham Stow
ers Treat, ESQ.,, Democrat, the twenty
fifth representative of the town. He
was the son Of Robert and Mary rid
]ey) Treat, born at Prospect, Me, March
10, 1905 He was one of the pioneers IN
the canning business in this country, and
came first to Eastport and set up an es-
tablishment for canning Holsters at the
Billings place. He afterwards purchas-
ed and moved to the island in our harbcr
which has since been generally known by
his name Historically, it is Dudley or
Allan's Island, the former in the treaties
and diplomatic correspondence between
the United States and Great Britain and
the latter in the legislative acts of the
State of Maine. AS it was first owned
by, and is the burial place of the Rev
dictionary patriot John Allan it should
continue to be called Allan Island. Mr..
Treat resided on this satellite Of our
island when he represented the town.
A score Of years later when the Japanese
government wished to have its people
instructed in the processes of preserving
meats and vegetables by canning, appli-
cation was made for the friendly services
of the United States authorities by send
ing them competent teacher, and MIR.
Treat was selected for that purpose.
After going to Washington for instruc,,
lions, he left for Japan in July 1877 and
was employed there several years. He
died at St. Paul, Mimi, November 2,
1888.

TRAGIC DEATH AT COLBY.
David T. Written, Popular Member OF
Junior Class, Dies from Fall.

David T. Written, Popular Member OF
Junior Class, Dies from Fall.
VAUDEVILLE, November 18th. One CT
the saddest accidents in the history OF
Colby College occurred yesterday fore
noon about II o'clock at the Phi Delta
Theta house, by which David Tilton Whit
ten of the class of 1910 came to his death.
He was returning from recitation which
closed at II o'clock and entered the fra
ternity house on the run and fell at the
foot of the stairs leading to the second
floor on which he roomed. AS he fell his
chin struck the edge of one of the lower
steps of the stairs, breaking his neck
instantly. The fact that his arms were
full of books is supposed to have prevent
ed him from breaking the fall with his
hands.
He was followed from recitation by his
roommate, Frank Carey, and also by
Harold Kimball. They came at once in
to the front entrance Of the house and
picked up the body of their comrade.
DIR. Cragin was called and came at once
and every possible effort was made to
restore the young man to life, but that
was impossible.
Written was born in Montville, Me-,
May 80, 1889. His education was re-
ceived in the schools Of that town and in
1902 he entered Fryeburg Academy, from
which school he graduated in the class of
1906. He was member of the class of
1910 at Colby and was treasurer Of the
class.
During the time he has been in college
he has made himself popular with all
who have had the pleasure of knowing
him, both in the city and in college. He
was active in every department of col
lege life. He was member Of his class
baseball team during his first and second
years in college and had this year been
chosen member of the Glee Club. He
was member of the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity.
His death is severe shock to the whole
college and expressions of the deepest
sympathy are heard on every side for his
bereaved parents and his fraternity,
friends and classmates. His presence on
the campus and in the classroom will be
sadly missed by all. Beside his parents
he is survived by one brother, Vaughan
Written of New York.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Written, par
ents of the deceased, arrived in the city
at $40 last evening and will accompany
the body to the home in Montville at
$50 this morning. At $50 this morning
memorial services will be held in the
chapel.

THE HUTCHINSON FAMILY.

CHICAGO, November II. To the Editor:
The recent accidental death of John w.
Hutchinson of the celebrated Hutchinson
anti-slavery, temperance and woman S
suffrage quartet has brought out much
newspaper notice and many erroneous
statements, one of which was corrected
in your issue of this morning, relative to
John W. having been the founder of
Hutchinson, Kan. Judson, Asa, John
and Abbie composed the quartet, and
John was the founder of Hutchinson,
Mimi, where he resided for several
years, as did members Of his family,
some of whom still have property inter
ests there. John W. was resident of
this city during the worlds fair, and
made his home with me at the Willard
Avenue Hotel. The singers were guests
of my father in Jackson, Me-, sixty
years ago, when present to sing at a
mass meeting of the Free Soil party.
John was IA years old at the time of the
Chicago worlds fair, and sang there
frequently, his voice then retaining much
of its power and the full measure of its
marvellous sweetness. During his stay
at Willard Avenue Hotel it was his de-
light to give frequent concerts to the
guests in the parlors, playing his own
piano Accomplishments to the touching
old songs of his early days. Patriarchal
in every particular, he was a courtly
gentleman, whose manner was as charm
ing as his voice. His last visit to this
city was about eight years ago, at which
time his Chicago friends gave him re-
ception at the Grand Pacific Hotel, which
was generally attended by his many ac-
ouaintances. who were glad of the op-
portunity to do honor and exhibit their
affection for grand old man and repre-
sentative of a most remarkable family.
