The commissioners appointed by the
governor to investigate the present system
of taxation and report recommendations
to the next legislature, were in session at
the court house in Ellsworth yesterday
afternoon, for a public hearing. 8. P.
Stock bridge, chairman of the Ellsworth
board of assessors, and John E. Bunker,
first selectman OF Bar Harbor, appeared
before the board, and come pertinent
questions relating principally to the man
ner Of assessing taxes on real and personal
were discussed. One of the mat
ters brought up by Mr.. Stock kbridge was
the desirabiiity OF having assessors elected
for three years each, the term of one to
expire each year, as is the case with men,
bers of the school board. This would
assure the presence of at least two men ex-

c. w. Pierce and A. l.. Friend are the
promoters of new industry soon to be
established in Ellsworth-th manufacture
OF canton flannel gloves like those which
have recently become popular for machin-
lists or for wear for rough work. The
will be located in the H. M. Hall
house ON Birch avenue. Already part OF
the machinery has been installed, and the
building wired for electric power and
lights. The factory will start on modest
scale, with five factory sewing machines,
with separate electric motor drives for
each. The gloves ara cut out by dies, and
ing machine is also installed. The glove
will be known as Dirigo. They will be
made in all regular sizes. The factory
will employ at the start about half dozen
girls, but there is big demand for these
gloves, and the industry promises to be
growing one. 1t probably will be started
up within two weeks.
Joseph Woodward and his bride re-
turned from their week or more wedding
journey, on the Morse Saturday. On the
dock here they found themselves in the
hands of quite number of their friends,
and yielded with smiling gracefulness to
the inevitable-a pony ride, with escort.
A diminutive little beast from Srafford's
sta BILE, attached to an equally tiny. vehicle,
both horse and rig drapad in white, was in
readiness, and into the team the bride and
groom were helped. To prevent the pony
from running away, or perhaps as escort
of ceremony, at the animal head walked
Otha Jellison on one side and DR.. Hinck-
ley on the other. From the wharf up

the procession moved, gathering enthu-
siasm and additions at every step, and
wreathing every face with smiles. Mr..
Woodward looked happy and the bride
was as charming and happy as could be.
The little incident was very pleasant in
deed.-Bar Harbor Record.
A tip was received in the Maine Centrf
station in Bangor Monday that within
few days fast new train would be put on
the line between Mt. Desert Ferry and
Boston. 1t will be the fastest train since
the Pine Tree limited of several seasons
ago, and will run practically ON the time
that that train did. Nobody in authority
would confirm the rumor Monday night.
According to the ''tip" the new train will
cover the distance between Bangor and
the Hub in six hours and forty minutes,
leaving Bangor at $50 a. M, and arriving
in Boston at 4.3O p. M, in time to connect
with the Merchants limited leaving Bos-
ton at O'Clock and arriving in New York
at 10 o'clock. A steamer would leave Bar
Harbo to connect with this train at Z 80 a.
M, the train leaving the Ferry at $40 and
arriving in Bangor at 9.43. Time would
be clipped everywhere, and would ac-
not only a great number OF
Bangor people who desire to go to Boston
during the day, but would allow Bar Har-
Dor visitors to leave there at 7.3O in the
and arrive in New York the same
night at 10 o'clock.-BaEgor Ne,os.
