HANCOCK POINT.

The death of Mrs. Horace Ball, which
occurred Monday morning, Jan. II,
brought sadness to a wide circle OF
friends.
Her maiden name was Tosier, and she
was born in East Corinth in 1883. In her
youth she became much interested in
music, and while in her twenties came to
Hancock as q music teacher. There she
met Mr.. Ball, and their wedding was the
commencement of nearly forty four years
of happy married life.
Six children were born to them of whom
three survive-Wiiliam II. Ball and Mrs.
John R. Strstton, of Hancock, and DR..
Fred E. Ball, dentist, OF Fargo, n. d.
Mrs. Ball was women of CHEEKY nature,
and this fact was evidenced by the kindly
interest that she took in those who came
in contact with her. She was great lover
of children, and to the last had good
word for the young people who were al
ways glad to meet her. In her younger
years she WAS q great worker in the Sum
day school and the church, and though for
great many years she had been handi-
capped by deafness, she never lost her in
terest ia the work that meant so much to
her in the past.
The home ties were very affectionate, and
she lacked no good thing that loving
hearts could minister. She was one who
never made much of her troubles, and al
though a great sufferer at the last, she
bore it all with rare fortitude. Unselfish
in spirit, and with thoughtful regard for
others, her death marks a distinct loss to
the community.
On the trip home from the West, Dr..
Ball had a hard experience with storms,
causing much delay, and for this reason
the funeral WAS not held until Friday az
ternoon. The service was attended by
Rev. P. A. A. Killam, OF Ellsworth, and
was in keeping with the character to
which it bore tribute. The hymn, s'Only
Remembered which was sung, was a
great favorite with her. The interment
was in the local cemetery.
In addition to the relatives mentioned
above, sister, Mrs. A. II. Nickerson, of
East Corinth, survives her. They all have
the sympathy Of the community.

STATE CONVENTION.

Republicans to Meet at Augusta June
20 Senator Hale to Preside.
The republican State committee at its
meeting at the Augusta house Tuesday
evening selected Augusta as the place for
holding the next State convention. 1t
will be held in City hall Wednesday, June
g, at 10 a. m. Senator Eugene Hale, Of
Ellsworth, was the choice of the COM
mittee for temporary chairman.
The basis of representation decided up
on will be delegate for every city, town
and plantation in the State, and an addi-
tional delegate for every seventy-five
votes or fractional part thereof cast by the
party in the State election of 1908.
Unusual interest was attached to this
Senator Hale, who addressed the COM
mittee, and of ex-Judge F. A. Powers, who
has announced his intention of contesting
Senator Hale's seat in Congress.
Other speakers at the meeting were Gov.
FernaId and ex-Govs. Cobb and Hill. A
telegram from Senator Frye was read in
which he expressed the hope that the COM
miILee WOuiQ invite oeQALOf f1dle 10 pre-
side at the convention in June.
Col. II. E. Hamlin, OF Ellsworth, is tn,
State committeeman from Hancock
county; being absent from the country
on trip around the world, his proxy at
this meeting was Judge E. E. Chase, Of
Bluehill.
Senator Hale was the guest while in An
gusta OF ex-usv. Hill. He was cordially
greeted both by republicans in Augusts
and by the leaders from ali over the State
who foregathered at the Augusta house
Tuesday evening. Senator Hale is in ex-
cellent health and spirits, and his recep-
ton Tuesday would seem to indicate that
he has lost none Of his prestige and popu-
larity.
A large number of leading republicans
from all sections OF the State, not mem
bers Of the State committee, were present
at this meeting, among them being Repre-
sentative John A. Peters, of Ellsworth.

ENUMERATORs' PAY.
Classification of the Compensation of
Census Takers.

Classification of the Compensation Of
Census Takers.
The varying wage scales in different
parts Of the country and the differences
in the nature and extent of the local diff
dculties confronting the enumerators in
the larger geographical divisions of the
United States have Influenced and guided
United States Census Director Durand in
the adoption of classification OF emu
merators' rates of compensation, within
the limits prescribed by the United States
census Law enacted by Congress.
The different classes OF rates will be SO
applied that in general the average emu
merator will earn substantially the same
actual amount in one district as in an
other, even though the population may
be much sparser in one than in the other,
with other conditions also different. Re-
gard is paid to the fact that prevailing
wages and salaries are higher in some
parts of the country than in others, but,
aside from this, the directors aim is to
adjust the rates so as to make the earn
ings of enrmerators substantially uni
fora. Where the per capita rates would
not give sufficient pay, the per diem rates
are prescribed. The rates in general will
be SO adjusted as to give . slightly higher
average amount to the enumerators than
they received in 1900.

How Spiders undrsss.

1t is an interesting sight indeed to
watch spider change its skin and
one that will well repay any one for
the time taken up by waiting for the
little known-generally speaking
event to take place. When preparing
for the change the spider stops eating
for several days and makes his pre-
liminary arrangements by fastening
himself by a short thread Of web to
one of the main lines Of his snare, this
to hold him firmly while he proceeds
to undress. First the skin cracks an
round the thorax, being held only by
the fore part. Next the lower part of
the body is uncovered, and then comes
the struggle to free the legs. He
works and kicks vigorously, seeming
to have very hard time Of 1t. Fiji

ance, however. brings him out OF his
old dress. the struggle causing him to
appear limp and lifeless for some time

meanwhile, and from New London on
Monday, Oct. IS, sent the steamer Tasco
to Key West to work upon the Medforo
and the schooner Frontenac. 1t was pos
sible to raise the Frontenac, and the Tasco
did. towing her to northern port for re-
pairs.
The Medford could not be raised Her
decks had been torn away from the hold
ings. and this made it impossible to save
her. Capt. Richardson made arrange
menfs for the salvage of everything OF
value. which was done.
Is EXPERIENCED NAVIGATOR.
Capt. Richardson is one of the most
skillfui and most successful mariners in
the land. He has been in the business
over thirty years, and has been in COM
mand of many large vessels, among them
the Nantasket, s. @. Haskell and Medford,
serving long time on each.
In the majority OF his vessels Capt. Rich
ardson had been part owner. In the
Medford he and other Deer Isle friends
were owners. The Medford was one OF
the John s. Emery feet of Boston.
Capt. Richardson's voyages have taken
him to all parts OF the world in all kinds
Of weather. Never before has he lost q
vessel, fact attributable to his nautical
skill and his faithfulness to his en-
ployers. He is regarded as an authority
on matters marine, and has written many
narratives OF the sea.
Had the fastenings on the government
wharf at Key West been at, the vessel
would have held her moorings, the cap
tain says. There were no spiles at all-the
Iashings were held by simple cleats, which
were ripped out by the wind.
Wednesday night, at his daughters
home, Capt. Richardson told Of his thrill
ing experience. sits the first time in

With the municipal election but lit

been said about it. In view of the
decnnation of Mayor Simonton 90 run
again, the nomination OF ex-MayoF
Hagerthy - if he will accept - has
been suggested and generally ap-
proved. He gave the city the lowest
tax-rate it ever had, and being him
self a large taxpayer, he could be re-
lied upon to get the rate down again,
result which would be as advanta-
geous for the city as for himself.
