SALE AND FAIR IN PARK.

SEARsPoRT, July Is. A more beautl-
full day could not have been had than yes
terday for the sale and fair held on the
beautiful grounds of Mr.. and Mrs. James
C. Blanchard, in Park, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Circle of the Second Con-
gregational church. The hostesses were
Mrs. Blanchard, Mrs. Melvin Park, Mrs.
Warren Griffin and Mrs. Fred Park, who
received the guests gracefully ana gfa-
ciously, making one and all feel the cor
diality of their welcome.
The driveway, as one entered, was
very attractively decorated with tiny
flags and bunting, and the picture MADE
by the tents among the beautiful SHADE
trees, the throng of daintily dressed
women, was one not soon to be forgotten.
Over 200 guests were entertained during
the afternoon. Kneveta orchestra, made
up Of local musicians, played at intervals
during the afternoon, adding much to the
enjoyment of the occasion. The lce-cream
tent, under the superintendent OF MISS
Esther Beach and Miss Prudence, with
Mrs. James Hall, Miss Marietta Pendle-
ton and Miss Abbie Chase as assistants,
did thriving business. In another tent
set among the trees, Miss Edna and Miss
Eva Griffin held sway and sold home
made candy as fast as they could put it
up.
However, fascinating as were the tents
where good things to eat were dispensed,
the mystic hay-stack caught many stray
nickel and, let us whisper it, not only
those of the younger ones but many from
the "grown-ups. Miss May Park and
Miss Eugenia Kneeland delivered the
goods and no one seemed the least disap-
pointed, but got "Just what l wanted. "
On entering the house, the perfume of
roses was very noticeable and the cause
was soon apparent for everywhere pos
sible were huge jars of this most beauti-
full of all American flowers. In fact, the
affair might we'll been called carnival
of roses" there were such profuslons,
and many of them were sold at the close
of the day. Indoors was found the fancy
work table, over which the Misses Dec
row presided. There were many dainty
bits Of embroidery and other hand work.
A cute idea was the dolls millinery
table, great attraction for the little girls,
and big ones, too, for that matter. Many
a Searsport dolly went home in new
and thoroughly up-to-date bonnet. Miss
May Park was the "sales-lady," and was
much pleased with her afternoons bust
ness.
Miss Florence Pendleton sold aprons,
everything from a billowy chafngdish
affair to the serviceable kitchen and work
aprons. A large share of the profits
came from this table, for woman can
very seldom resist the temptation to buy
an apron, and everything was sold out.
1t is estimated that the net proceeds of
the fair will be about $50, and all who
had to do with the affair feel well repaid
for the labor and time put into it. The
ladies wish to thank all who helped in
any way to make the affair success, and
the public for it's generous patronage.

Bar Harbor Bars the Auto.

BAR HARBoR, July Is. By vote of
SAP to q, Bar Harbor decisively and
overwhelmingly adopted the ordinance
passed unanimously by the last legisla-
ture, empowering the town to shut out
automobiles from all the roads within the
town of Eden. The vote was probably
the largest ever cast for special town
meeting, outside of elections for first
selectmen, and decisively stamps the
overwhelming sentiment in favor of ex-
clusion of motor cars from the roads of

There is no question as to the quality
and quantity of Maine granite, and until
the advent of the ice trust the winter
crop of CONCEALED water was valuable
asset. While the output has not been
large, Maine has produced some valuable
gems, tourmalines, beryls, etc. Gold,
silver, copper and lead have been mined,
and some years ago we had mining
craze, of which the only reminders are
holes in the ground and in the pockets of
investors. That all these metals exist
there can be no question, but it is yet
to be demonstrated that they can be
mined with profit Now we have to re-
port the discovery of metal new to
biologists and metallurgists on Catherine
nil on the shores of Tunk pond 1t was
discovered by B. W. Hillsman, an expert
in the employ of c. Vey Holman of Ban
gor, and who, using the right of the dis
coTferer, has named it Holmanite in honor
of Mr. Holman The new metal is nat
ural tin in alloy with bismuth. Pure tin
has been found and tin in alloy with lead
is we'll known, but never in connection
with bismuth. The metal is found in
sheet and ingot formation, and prospects
are now to be made for the purpose of
ascertaining if it exists in sufficient
quantities to make it commercially val
liable In its alloy with the bismuth the
tin is malleable to remarkable degree.
1t can be hammered out to thin foil.
When alleged with lead, tin becomes
brittle and cannot be pounded out in this
way at all. 1t is an odd coincidence that
since the prospecting on the hill under
the direction of Mr. Holman and other
parties, nearly every rare metal known
to the world has been found in its granite
sides, and now comes the discovery of
metal the existence of which never before
has been known Some idea of the value
of the discovery, if the metal is found to
be in large quantities, is had from the
statement that the known supply of tin
in the world viii be exhausted in 10 years.
When the present known supply is gone
deposit Of metal such as that discovered
on Catherine hill will be of the greatest
value.

Laugh a Little Bit.

Here's motto just your fit
Laugh a little bit.
When you think you're trouble hit,
Laugh little bit.
Look misfortune in the face,
Brave the beldam's rude grimace;
Ten to one twill yield its place,
If you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh little bit.
Cherish this as sacred writ
Laugh little bit.
Keep it with you, sample it,
Laugh little bit.
Little ills will sure betide you,
Fortune may not sit beside you,
Men may mock and fame deride you,
But you'll mind them not whit
If you laugh little bit.

Mayor Mcclellan has apparently named
his successor as the chief executive of
New York city by the removal from Of
flee Of Police Commissioner Bingham at
the behest of the bosses. Harper's Week
ly says that the Police Department twas
the one redeeming feature of which New
York was indeed rightfully proud. 1t is
not too much to say that, under Commits
sioner Theodore A Bingham, the force
had been brought to a higher state of eff
iciency than ever before in it's history.
Composed of young, active, self-respect-
ng men from top to bottom, it could
stand comparison easily with any other
in the world. Best of all, politics and
politicians who have criminals and dives
and gambling-dens to care for had been
eliminated completely" The bosses
naturally did not like it, and brought
such pressure to bear on Mayor McClen-
ian that he ''fred' Bingham on a pre-
text too silly to deserve mention and put
III "a friend of the bosses" And, says
Harper Weekly. mayor Mcclellan did
it, ard did it so causelessly and so brazen-
ly, move over, that now he couldn't be
elected pound keeper in this town, if
anybody should be so foolish as to nomi-
nate him. Because why? Because the
people of New York are mad, mad all
through at the insolence and imbecility
of a Mayor who, on the eve of munich
pal election, turns the all-powerful Police
Department over to the worst bunch of
bosses we have had since Tweed's day."
In the July number of the American
Issue, c. E. Owen, D. D., superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of Maine, re-
views recent articles by Holman Day in
Magazine and Harper Week
ty under the caption of Holman Day and |
Prohibition in Maine" Without taking
up the points at issue or participating in
this controversy, we can unhesitatingly
commend this statement by Mr.. Owen:
Whoever, in prose or poetry, in fact or
fiction, represents that the sound, sober
citizenship, the great silent forces which,
in the end, control the affairs of the State,
are not in favor Of retaining and enforc-
ing the prohibitory law misrepresents the
facts, whatever may be his purpose in
doing SO. The people of Maine under
stand that they are fighting battle with
the arrayed and organized liquor forces
of this country, and they discern pretty
clearly who is with them and who is
against them. The issue is clear. Pro-
hibition enforced wins favor everywhere
among intelligent and self-respecting
citizens Prohibition nuilifed is hypoc-
risy and breeds contempt for the very
name of prohibition. The friends of pro-
hibition, therefore, are continually striv-
ing for faithful and efficient enforcement,
while the enemies of the law are consis-
tently and persistently seeking its nulli-
fication and dishonor.

OF BENEFIT TO ALL

Kasparilla is the name of new remedv
most successfully prescribed for world
of troubles For arrangements of the
digestive organs it is a natural corrective
operating directly upon the liver and ali.
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. Its bene-
fetal influence extends, however, to eyery
portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
