The Prelate's plea

| inc rre'ate's Plea.
| War" says prelate," is a grewsome
| An evil, yet its value Oft is great.
Since priceless virtues even from blood
shed spring
And men would else in sloth degenerate;
"Our God, remember. is the Lord of
Hosts:
Recall our hymn. He goeth forth to
Stern sentinels. his priests. he duly
posts
| on lions battlements. to watch afar."
Once on a time black slavery ruled the
land.
Then too did priests and prelates bend
the knee:
Servants obey your asters!"-Pauls
command
Sufficed: 1.-The Bible sanctioned slavery
o Church of God. so often in the dark
Welded to pride and power, and most
to cant,
Thy Prince of Peace condemns thy pal
Peace and good Will on earth the an
gels chant.
VIM. A. Houghton, in the Boston Tran
script.

Owing to the accumulation of saw
dust in Union river, the salt water
fish such as salmon and alewives have
not been running up there for the past
Is or 90 years. Ellsworth citizens
were much surprised recently to see
large schools of fish breaking water
in the vicinity of the Hayes Rips.
These fish upon investigation were
found to be alewives that had run in
with the tide in search of fresh water
to spawn. 1t is thought that the fish
running in is due to the construction
of the big dam which keeps the saw
dust from coming down leaving the
stream clear and limpid
1t cost the town of Eden $33.5S2.S2
to maintain its schools last year and
yet it had an unexpended balance of
s2.4OS.04.
The influx of summer tourists into
Hancock county is already noticeable
in Ellsworth Passing trains bear
evidence of heavy traffic, especially
towards Bar Harhor and the nearby
resorts are also taking on summer life.
At Hancock Point the Tarratine is
open and several cottagers have ar
rived for the season. Several of the
Bluehill cottages are open with
larger number of summer people than
is usual at this time of year and Sor-
rento promises to have one of the
most successful seasons in recent
years.
Maine clans may now be dug for
Maine people only. or people living in
the State of Maine, for 1t is now closed
time on the canning factories. This
means that there will be enough clans
for all the shore dinners, that will be
served this summer from kittery to
Eastport and the price win not be
heavy, either.
This is going to be another big
lumber season at the port of Portland.
According to present indications the
amount of Southern pine sticks to be
brought to that port during the season
will amount to 100000 feet. This is
a big amount. but it is not half of
what came last season. The summer
of 1910 was regarded as an exceptional
one for Portland, for fully 100000
feet of Southern pine humber came
there 1t was arriving almost every
week i'm the great lumber schooners
and was sent to all parts of the State
to be used in work being carried on.
Four boys were arraigned a few
days ago in the Rockland police court
on the charge of placing explosives on
the r. T. & C. Railway tracks. The
boys were released on the strength of
an alibi and testimonials of their
previous good character by Superin-
tendent G. A. Stuart and Principal
Knapp of the High school. The ex
plosives were packages of the caps
used in cases for celebrating Fourth
of July. Three of these packages
were run over by the Thomaston car
near the corner of Park street and
Broadway and panic narrowly
avoided.
Robert Silsby, we'll known me-
chanical expert and engineer at pres
ent working at his profession in Tops
ham, was in Bath few days ago and
visited the North End where Inventor
Mcdonald is at work completing his
model tanks to demonstrate his plan
of developing power from the tides.
Silsby heretofore has been very scepti-
cal as to the practicability of the Nc
Donald system. but after an examina-
ton of the models and the attaining
of clearer insight into the inventors
plans. he came away convinced of the
feasibility of the system.
