to reach a lofty place. which will
broaden the scope Of lawn tennis In a
manner hitherto unknown in this coun-
try.
To begin with, that wonderful pair
Of Californians. Maurice F. McLough-
lin and Melville H. Long. are to visit
the east this season to play through
all Of the important tournaments right
up to the national championship at
Newport. They learned the ways of
the eastern stars last year, and they
believe they can take the honors back
to the Pacific coast.
The Californians undoubtedly have
hard work before them. Anthony f.
Wilding. the great Australian, Is to
play in this country. Possibly the
English cup team Of challengers may
be at Newport also. for 1t is pretty GER
tain at present that the team named
by England will cross the Atlantic
ocean again to try the ties for the blue
ribbon Of the courts.
So William A. Larned. the national
champion In singles. and Frederick B.
Alexander and Harold II. Hackett. the
doubles holders. seem to be In for the
trial Of their lives. 1t is predicted that
Larned is due for defeat this year.
The hope is that one Of the younger
Americans may save the title from the
foreign Invasion.
The figure westerners are to cut In
national lawn tennis promises to set a
new standard for the game. Since
their achievement In arranging the
Clay court championship of the United
States after the hottest controversy
ever known in the sport they declare
the tournament will surpass that at
Newport in every respect The tour
nament will be held on the courts Of
the Kansas City club. Probably q
match will be arranged with the ma
tional winner at Newport to demon
strate the merits Of the clay court and
turf games.

More Tournaments Than Ever
Scheduled This Year.
FOREIGN PLAYERS ARE COMING

Experts to Play In East-Westsrnsr
to Cut Big Figure This Season.

Even the most pessimistic of lawn
tennis players-and there are always
few at this time of the year-are
willing to join with the optimists IL
agreeing that the 1910 season on the
American courts promises to be the
most representative that this country
has ever experienced. The signs Of
material progress are writ so large
that he who runs may read. Funda-
mentally the remarkable increase in
the championship and tournament
schedule list affords the best indica-
ton as to the growth Of the sport.
Then there is the promise of a visit
from famous foreign players, an ex-
cellent prospect as to the Davis inter-
national cup team. drawing from the
top classmen. and the stimulation of
another skirmish by the brilliant Cali
fornia wielders Of the racket upon
eastern courts. Indeed, the program
that the officials Of the United States
national association have mapped out

Lord southey's ouiIIetins.

The most eccentric action Of an &c
centric man was Lord Southey's cool
arrangement for suicide by means of
a guillotine. He had a magnificent one
erected in the drawing room of his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was Of ebony in
laid with gold and silver. the frame
work carved with artistic skill; the
knife, sharp as razor, was of polished
and ornamented steel Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and. clothed in robe Of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform un-
der the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should re-
lease the knife. But the spring failed
to work, and the would be suicide de-
cided to give the guillotine to mu-
scum instead Of making a second at
tempt to end his life. 1t Is said that
he made an annual pilgrimage to see
the guillotine until the end Of his life.

NRs. NARY A. wHrrrAxER.


Mrs. Mary A. Whitaker, Ellsworth's
Oldest resident, died Thursday forenoon
at her home ON the Bayside road. Mrs.
Whitaker was in the ninety-eighth year
of her age. She was . native OF Els
worth, and all her long and useful life had
been passed here.
Mrs. Whitaker was one who grew old
beautifully. Except for her hearing, she
retained her faculties and health to
marked degree to within few weeks OF
her death.
During the past two years she had been
called to part with four of those nearest
and dearest to her. Her son, Capt. NJ. NJ.
Whitaker, with whom she was living,
died in October, 1908. A month later q
daughter in-law, Mrs. Margaret J. Whit
taker, died suddenly, and in April last .
granddaughter, Mrs. Alice Whitaker
Lewis, died. The final blow came with
the death on Nov. q last Of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. ArvilIa W. Swan, who had de-
voted the last years of her life to her
aged mother, and was living alone with
her at the time Of her death.
From this shock Mrs. Whitaker never
recovered. She had ever since been con-
fined to her bed, and gradually failing.
A granddaughter, Mrs. Mary Cappelle, Of
Boston, came to tenderly care for her dur
ing her last days.
Mrs. Whitaker was the eldest Of the
thirteen children Of Stephen G. Wood
ward, one Of the early residents Of Els
worth. She is survived by three sisters
Mrs. Andrew Lowell, Of Cambridge,
Mass; Mrs. Laura Lewis, Of Worcester,
Mass; and Mrs. Rhoda Eaton, OF Boston.
She leaves one SON Charles F. Whitaker,
of Boston, and several grandchildren,
Observation-Disclosures and great-great-
grandchildren.
Mrs. Whitaker was the oldest member
of the Baptist church of Ellsworth, and
q woman of high principles and fine char
acter.
Funeral services were held at the house
Saturday afternoon, Rev. p. A. A. Killam
officiating. Her son Charles, and grand
son, Fred p. Whitaker, OF Boston, were
here to attend the funeral.
