OBITUARY..
MRS. JOHN 2. sIMoNroN

=
Ellsworth friends of Rev. ]. P. Simon
ton, former pastor of the Methodist
church in Ellsworth, sympathize deeply
with him in the loss OF his wife, who died
yesterday morning at the home of her
brother-in-law, Capt. R. H. Hallowell, in
South Edmunds.
Mrs. Simonton has been in poor health
several years; in fact, ever since she left
Ellsworth three years ago for Stoning-
ton, where Mr.. Simonton has since been
located. She had several times been near
to death, but rallied. In the end, death
came suddenly. She had been better than
usual for several weeks past, and was
planning to attend conference at Calais
with her husband this week. A telegram
announcing her serious illness met Mr..
Simonton here, while on his way to con-
ference. He reached the bedside OF his
wife before her death.
Mrs. Simonton was born at Calais fifty
six years ago, her maiden name being
Henrie tia Ames. She was twice married
her first husband being Hallowell. She

years residence in Ellsworth made many

she had lived, had made her influence for
good felt. In her early life she was for
years a successful teacher in the public
schools.

Funeral services will be held at South
Edmunds tomorrow. The remains will
be taken to Calais, where burial services
will be held.

The Patent Medicine Business.


The Fourth Estate has been warming
publishers about the risk in allowing
credit to new medicine concerns. 1t is
said that only one or two OF the thous-
ands of new proprietary medicine houses
have made any considerable money which
have started the past twenty years, and
only a few more which have met with
even moderate, success.
1t is the general impression that the
business is immensely profitable while the
facts are that there is larger percentage
of failures than in any other line. The
new concerns usually start with lots Of
confidence in the merit of their goods and
advertising, but soon exhaust their capt.
tai, leaving dealers who have stocked
their medicines with unstable. goods on
their shelves.
1t is the experience Of many publishers
who have accepted this new business that
they have been compelled to charge of
their bills to profit and loss.
There are many old and reliable medi-
cine houses which continue to do a good
or increasing business from year to year,
but the new ones are finding it more and
more difficult to become established.

At the Green Lake fish hatchery this
spring there is an unusually fine lot of
fish. Just as vegetation is unusually well
advanced for this time OF the year, so with
the little fish, which came from the egg
two or three weeks earlier than usual
Some of the trout fry are already begin
ming to 'sswim up, which means that they
have outiived their babyhood nursing
bottle, and are beginning to look for solid
food. These fish are as far advanced as
they ordinarily are the second or third
week in May. In fact, distribution of
the trout fry began this week, the earliest
on record at this hatchery, and fully three
weeks earlier than usual. There are nearly
a million and half of the little fish at the
hatchery, divided about as follows: Trout,
l 100000; land-locked salmon, 700, 900;
lake trout, 400 900.

fective in commanding the attention
of members and shaping legislation
on the floor of the Senate than has
Mr.. Hale. Senator McCumber, refer
ring in a speech in the Senate, March
8, 1906, to the Maine senator's con-
spicuous ability in this respect said:
"The senator from Maine has the
smoothest way of boring right to the
centre, and getting to the meat of a
proposition OF any senator upon this
fioor.n Senator Hoar, in his famous
eulogy OF Senator Allison, declared
that no legislator in the knowledge of
the receipts and expenditures of the
government, and in the skillful con-
duct of the great appropriation bills
could equal him excepting Senator
Hale.
Some years ago Bowdoin college
conferred upon Senator Hale the de-
gree of Ii. D., and in many ways the
citizens of his State have shown the
just pride they have felt in his dis
tinguished career at Washington.
A successor to Senator Hale can,
and, in due time, will be chosen; but
the place he occupies cannot and will
not be filed. Such leadership and in
f1uence as he enjoys come rarely to
any man, aud to no man save as the
result of long years of exceptionally
able and efficient service.
The retirement of Senator Hale will
be great loss to the State, but he
will have the satisfaction of carrying
with him into private life the hearty
best wishes and cordial God speed Of
a very large majority of the people of
Maine, whose interests he has served
80 faithfully and well.

private life. His withdrawal affords me
much disappointment and regret. have
known him all my life, and have . strong
liking for him personally, as well as
great veneration and respect for his
abilities.
ssNor do believe that any man for years
has surpassed that ability or his accom-
plishments for Names interests in the
national Congress. Anybody at all ac-
quainted with Maine politics knows Of the
opposition to him that has been created.
That portion Of it ascribing to Senator
Hale an indifference to the best interests
of Maine is, in my judgment, unfair and
untrue.
He has been q national leader for many
years, and is universally recognized as a
conservative man Of independent thought
and sction. His personal integrity is abb
solutely fiawless, and it seems to me that
the State OF Maine should and will feel
under great obligations for the devoted
service he has given it in his public life.
81 am aware that it is the belief OF many
that il he had remained in the contest for
the senatorship, defeat was inevitable.
Personally, 1 do not accept this conclusion,
for know something Of the loyalty Of his
friends, and l believe he could have won.
In view Of his announced retirement,
this has no bearing except as an express
sion OF personal belief.
"Whoever may succeed Senator Hale,
and whatever his character and ability, it
will be long time before that successor
can do as much for the interests Of this
State as Senator Hale has done. am sure
that Senator Hsle's services and career
will steadily grow in the appreciation of
the State, which he has.so long represented
at Washington"

senator Hale.


The formal announcement by Sena.
tor Hale that he viii not be a candi-
date for reelection comes to us here
n Ellis worth with a sense of regret
which cannot be shared by any beyond
its borders. In his long, conspicuous
and brilliant career in the public SER
vice, his townspeople, regardless of
political affiliations, have taken the
keenest interest and satisfaction.
To have been unanimously chosen for
five successive terms to the upper
branch of the highest deliberative
body in the world; to have become in
point of unbroken service the oldest
member of that body; to have, by his
ability and Judgment, acquired among
his fellow senators the influence ac-
knowledged to be his; to have passed
through the storm and strife of poll
tics for we'll nigh generation, and
emerged without stain is record of
which he may well be proud; of which
his friends and neighbors of his home
town are proud, and ever will be.
