A bit of election news of interest to the
many friends in this, his native city, of Walter
F. Frederick, is his election as clerk of the Su-
preme Judicial Court of Suffolk County, Mass
Although the county is nominally Democratic
Mr.. Frederick's majority over his Democratic
opponent was 10000. He had been trained by
fifteen years of apprenticeship as assistant
clerk in the lower courts of Suffolk County, and
H., co,r ,,,rc &c in his praSent office
and on the resignation of the clerk received
the unanimous appointment from the judges
of the Supreme Court until an election could
be held. The Boston Transcript says: erred
ercks appointment and nomination are due to
his own merit alone" While Republican Mr.
Frederick has not taken an active part In pol
tics; and the Office has never been regarded
as political one. Mr.. Frederick's victory is
well deserved and he will receive the congrat-
ulations of his Belfast friends.
A DEDICATION A most pleasing sight upon
our streets last Monday was the handsome
Shetland pony team of Lolita J. Darling, the
we'll known medium of Winterport. Mrs.
Darling came to dedicate the pretty log cot
tage recently built by our enterprising towns
man, George Lower, on the shore OF the bay at
at Northport, and which he and Mrs. Lower
some time ago decided to call t"Winona's Wig
wam," in honor of the spirit guide of the
medium A goodly number was present at
the interesting exercises and it was the opin-
ion of the audience that the cottage had been
most thoroughly dedicated to their religion of
Wisdom, Love and Truth. Mrs. Darling was
very ably assisted by her husband, and she
gave this improvised poem:
I've often clambered DER the hills,
The pine clad hills of Maine,
And hope to live just long enough
To climb few again.
I've stood on Minnesota's sod,
My feet have prairies pressed,
But of all the States I've e'er been IN
love old Maine the best.
And when l meet these friends from Name
see them blooming well,
These friends with kind and loving hearts,
With love too deep to tell.
And as l see them smile at me,
With smile both bright and bland, .
l thank God for these friends from maine,
With loving hearts and hands.
