NEW YORK, Nov. 11-New Yorks
strike OF express drivers and helpers

settlement were tentatively accepted
early today by the men who are out
in Greater New York If the New
Jersey men accept the peace pro
posal, at meeting called for this af.
ternoon, all will return TO work Mon
day morning.
The vote of the New York men TO
end the strike, was brought about
largely through the efforts of Mayor
Gaynor and President Towne Of the
Merchants Association. Through
them an offer was secured from the
express companies. agreeing to take
back all old employees regardless of
whether or not they have joined the
union. and TO consult with commit
tees OF the employees as 10 wages and
hours, whatever terms decided upon
TO become effective Dec l. The ex-
press companies reserved only the
right 10 refuse 10 reinstate any en-
ployes who have engaged in violence
during the strike.
This proposition was submitted at
a secret mass meeting of the strik-
ers and shortly after midnight was
accepted by a two-thirds vote William
II. Ashton, general organizer of the
Federation of Labor and leader of the
strike, declared that the offer amount.

the strikers had refused to submit
TO arbitration. II was largely on his
recommendation that II was accepted
II is believed the New Jersey strik-
ers will also accept the proposition.
This action on the part of the ex-
press strikers, however, in no way
affects the strike OF the taxicab
chauffeurs. The employees OF two OF
the larger taxicab companies are still
out and declare they will continue OH
strike for recognition of their union
and for acceptance OF their new wage

received an appointment to the board
of pension appeals in Washington,
but he longed for his Ellsworth homo,
and soon resigned and returned to re-
sumo the practice OF law. At the
time OF his death he was for a second
time Judge OF the Ellsworth municipal
court.
Judge Redman was of an attractive
personality, always cheerful and
cordial. He was pleasant addition
TO any social function, and always did
his full part in social intercourse.
He was democratic in his nature, re-
gardful of the rights OF others, and
kind, without patronizing, to the most
lowly. He will be missed and
mourned by the whole community
and State, and especially by those
who knew him intimately.

For fifth term DIR. A. G. Hager by

he having served four consecutive

men elect, all save one-Mr. Parcher,
of ward 1-have served the city be-
fore.
The recognized business ability OF
the members of the new city govern
ment, added to their experience in city
affairs, makes it entirely safe to pre-
dict that the best interests of the city

Speakers at Farmers Institute.
Commissioner of Agriculture A. W..

board of trade the speakers for the
institute to be held here in Hancock
hall on Tuesday, March %.
They are besides the missioner
himself: Prof. E. r. Hitchings, State
entomologist; DR.. G. NJ. Twitchell, of
Auburn, president of the State pomo-
logical society; Hon. d. H. Knowlton,
of Pennington, former secretary Of
the genealogical society, and Prof. ".
r. Gardner, of the University of
Maine.
This makes very strong force, and
and the topic for the day, "Orchard-
ing" will doubtless be most compre-
hensively treated. Besides The for
NAL sessions-in the afternoon at 100
and in the evening at 7.30, there will
be an informal meeting in the fore
noon at which it is hoped to secure
for exhibition samples of apples from
various sections of the county. This
informal meeting also will enable
those attending the institute to meet
in a social way and get better ac-
quainted.
A supper, free to those attending
from out of town, will be served by
the board of trade.

1t is now expected that one of the
most important bills, that relating to
the postal savings bank, will become
a law during the present month.
There has been considerable opposi-
ton to the bill, mainly from demo-
cratic and insurgent sources. Many
amendments have been presented and
some Of them accepted. Senator
Root, of New York, in advocacy of
the bill, has made the most forcible
speech of his senatorial career. 1t is
understood that he voices the views
of the President. 1t is expected that
the bill viii add greatly to the strength
of the financial situation in this

Where Women Swim Best.

guard. 1.-THE Korean pearl diving is in
their hands. They swim-they don't
boat-they swim out to the pearl fish,
cries of Quelpart. Juggling baskets with
them. After this swim of half an hour
they dive down fifty feet and fetch up
queer one shelled pearl oysters as big
as babies. They dive till their baskets
are full-the baskets are corked to
keep them afioat-and after three or
four hours work they swim back
home with their catch. The big one
shelled oysters are valuable as pearl
mines and as food too. A half dozen
Koreans will sit down to an oyster as
gayly as you or sit down to broiled
lobster. Sometimes when the great
shellfsh is eaten raw 1t quivers and
means slightly as the knife IL plunged

MRS. A. SIDNEY TREAT.

Caroline A., wifs of A. Sidney Treat, died
at Brooklyn, N. Y, Wednesday, March 2.
The news of her death was shock to her
many Ellsworth friends, who did not
know OF her critical illness. Mrs.
Treat had been in poor health for some
time. A few weeks ago she fractured an
ankle by fall. The injury aggravated
other troubles, fever developed, termi-
mating in pneumonia, which was the i'm
mediate cause OF death.
Mrs. Treat was a native of Ellsworth, a
daughter of the late Jacob w. Coombs.
Since her marriage her home had been
principally in New York and vicinity, but
she retained her love for her old home, and
was regular visitor, spending the
summers at her farm on the river.
She was woman of noble character, a
kind heart and a delightful companion
socially. All who knew her held her in
tenderest regard.
Mrs. Treat leaves a husband and two
daug Marion, who has just become
the wife of Roy Shaffer, of New York, and
Evelyn. OF her own family, two brothers
survive Wilbur W. Coombs, OF New York,
and Frederick A. Coombs, of East Orange,
Nj.
The remains we're brought to Ellsworth
for interment, reaching here Saturday, ac-
companied by Mr.. Treat and daughter
Marion, and two sisters of Mr.. Treat

Death OF Hon. John b. Redman.

DcdtH VI non. Jouu ID fheQInau.
The sudden death of John Bake
man Redman removes from earth
one widely. known throughout the
county and State. He came of dis
tinguished county family. His grand
father, John r. Redman, came to
Ellsworth from Castine to take the
office of high sheriff. His father,
Erastus Redman, was long a promi-
nent and respected merchant of Els
worth.
After graduating from Bowdoin col
lege, and being admitted to the bar,
Mr.. Redman began the practice OF
law in Els worth, his home town, but
early took a deep interest in public
and political affairs. In politics he
was for long a democrat, as were his
father and grandfather before him.
In 1884 he was the democratic candi-
date for governor, having the cour-
age to run the year of Blaine's can
didacy for the presidency.
Being democrat of the old school,
Mr.. Redman could not vote for Bryan,
and voted for Palmer and Buckner in
1895. When the democratic party in
1900 again nominated Bryan and re-
iterated its currency falIacies, Mr..
Redman saw no other alternative than
to act with the party of sound money.
1t cost him most severe struggle to
part with old political associates, but
he could not bring himself to follow

state Sues Penobscot County


Thursday papers were served on Charles
F. Sweet, clerk OF the county commits
sioners for Penobscot county, attaching
the goods and estate of the county to the
amount of $4,000. This marks the be-
ginning OF the suit brought against the
county by the State to force the county
to pay the money which the State claims
deputies within the county.
The action is brought in the name of
the treasurer of the state, Hon. P. p
Gilmore, of Bucksport, and IS returnable
at the April term of court in Hancock
county, which is to be holden in Els
worth.
The service of the writ against the
county merely brings the matter to a
head, so that Attorney General W. c.
Philbrook, who appears for the State, and
County-Attorney George E. Thompson,
for the county, can proceed on the plan
for the disposal of the case, which they
have mapped out.
At the April term OF the supreme court
in Hancock county, the suit will be
answered to, but will not be tried, it be-
ing the plan of the attorneys to send it
up to the June term of the law court on
an agreed statement of facts for final de-
cision.
The decision of the law court in the
case will settle the controversy, whether
or not the amendment to the Sturgis law,
which provides that the county wherein
the enforcement deputies are at work
shall pay their expenses, is in accordance
with the constitution.

City Finances.

During the past two years the city
of Ellsworth has increased it's munich
pal indebtedness about $500. Bonds
and notes now outstanding, including
$67.67 of outstanding orders, amount
to sss, 2s2.67. Against this are assets
of s1,16O.65 in cash and s1,1s1 due
from the State, total of s2,3ll.65,
leaving a net debt of s95, 951.02. OF
course against this is long list of un-
collected taxes, practically worthless
except the s9,7o5.1o of the 1909 tax,
which, under the contract with the
collector, is worth it's face value, and
which of itself offsets, within less than
$1,000 of the entire increased indebt-
edness of the past two years.
This debt OF nearly $4,000 is about s10,-
500 more than it was two years ago. OF
this increase little less than $500 was
contracted year before last, and the re-
naming "a 200 was contracted during the
year just closed.
Taking the two years together the reports
show that this increase is due to an I'M
usual conditions of things; forest fires ac-
count for 5000; roads which had to be
built account for 5000; the school fund
last year took $500; insane this year took
$500, and the contingent fund this year
$500.
The situation at the beginning of the
year was clearly understood; deficit of
5000 already existed, and unusual expen-
ditures were anticipated. Two courses
were open: a. To raise the rate of taxa
tion (2) to increase the debt. Whether
wise or unwise, the latter alternative was
accepted.
This increase is, of course, burden and
is to be regretted, but it is situation not
uncommon in commercial or in municipal
affairs. No crime has been committed !;
no subterfuge resorted to; no conceal
ment attempted.
And yet our democratic friends had the
effrontery last week in caucus solemnly to
declare that ''the financial condition OF
the city is such, because of burdens piled
up by the past few years OF republican
administration that these men possible
nominees] will not take the responsibility
of Office.
Usually this sort of thing is reason not
for refusing office, but for jumping at the
chance to accept it.; not for keeping al
legged incompetents in office, but for turn
ing them out; not for showing the white
feather, and running like turkeys, but for
meeting the foe in the open.
Nobody takes any stock in the silly
reason the democrats gave for not making
nominations; whatever it may have been
- and it is not far to seek--it was not
that; the grapes looked good, but they
were sour, or hung too high.
