For COUNTY TREASURER. With the ad-
vice and approval of many prominent Re-
publicans l shall come before the county
convention July 7th as candidate for coun-
ty treasurer. l feel that my long Identified
ton with the party and the fact that l was
candidate two years but was defeated in
convention enttle me to consideration this
time, and l ask the support of all fair-mind-
ed Republicans. Very sincerely, Frank Il
Woodcock.
benefit concert and ball will be given at
the Belfast Opera House next Thursday
evening for the Young Mems Association
and base ball team of this city. The con-
i cert will include the Hammons Brothers
Quartette, Patterson's Saxaphone Quartette,
Arthur johnson, tenor soloist; Miss Cecil
Littlefeld, cornet sofoist; Miss Katherine
Brier, soprano soloist, and Miss E. Frances
Ayers, dramatic reader. With the excep-
| ton of Miss Ayers the talent is all local and
needs no commentator. Miss Ayers is
, graduate from one of the converts Of Mon
treal and is considered one of the most
graceful readers in the State. She has often
, read in the leading cities of Maine and
comes highly recommended. Following the
concert a dance will be given, for which
Reyes, orchestra will furnish music. The
benefit is given in the interest Of good
cause and it is hoped that all will rally to
the support of the organization.
We were asked over the telephone the
other day whether there was any law or Or
dinance providing for the punishment of
perpetrators of wanton or malicious deeds,
and answered that section Is of chapter IS
of the city ordinances relating to "unlaw-
full and injurious acts and practices" cover
ed the case in point, and other cases, and
provides for fine of mot less than one
dollar or more than ten dollars, according to
the circumstances and aggravatiOns of the
offence" When asked why this ordinance
was not enforced we were unable to answer,
| for like many other ordinances it seems to
be dead letter. Before Memorial Day
this year many flower thefts were reported
and in some cases dozens OF plants raised
for sale, and for which orders had been re-
shrub much valued by its possessOr was
taken. Defacing fences is a practice with
some.
BASE BALL At Camden last Saturday
Camden High defeated Belfast High by a
score of 4 to 8. 1t was fast and exciting
game. go. The Young Mems Association
team won from the Old Town High school
by score of 6 to 5 Saturday afternoon, at
the Congress street grounds, in one of the
best games played this season. The features
of the game were the excellent fielding of
the Old Town team and the batting Of the
home team. What bid fair to be the game
of the season was played on the Congress
street grounds yesterday afternoon-the Y.
Nj. AS and nine composed of the clerks
of Belfast. The battery for the latter team
was announced as "Billy" Dilworth and
Mr.. johnson. AS the game was not to be
called until $50 p. m. The Journal goes to
press too early to give the result, but it was
confidently expected that the Y. NJ. A.
would do up their opponents in short order.
