Bishop Hamilton in Ellsworth

Rt. Rev. John W. Hamilton, d. D.,
LII. D., resident bishop of New England,
was in Ellsworth last Sunday, preaching
at both morning and evening services at
the Methodist church. In the afternoon
he went to Surry to officiate at the dedica-
tion of the new Methodist church there, a
report of which may be found in Surry
news items.
There were good-sized congregations at
both morning and evening services here
In the morning Bishop Hamilton spoke on
the salvation of the Jews", tracing the
development of the Christian religion from
its origin to present times, and its rela-
tion to problems of to-day.
In the evening he spoke OF "Epochs OF
Christianity, and devoted large part OF
his remarks to the emancipation of
women, citing numerous instances from
his own experiences in this country and
abroad in illustration OF his subject.
Bishop Hamilton while here had good
word to say for Rev. Edwin ID. Kizer,
whose selection for the church here was
his own. He said he had put DIR. Kizer uI
against difficult proposition in San Fran
cisco, and he had made good. He called
him from the West to Ellsworth, and sc
far as he could see, he had made good
here. In this latter opinion the people oi
the Met thodist society here, heartily agree
Bishop Hamilton would not promise that
he would return DR.. Kizer here for an
OF her year, intimsting that he might need
him elsewhere.
Incidentally, Bishop Hamilton gave
| big financial lift to the church here, sub
scriptions aggregating nearly $1,000 being
raised sufficient to wipe out practically
ali the floating Indebtedness of the church
The first instaliments on these subscrip-
tions will be due February 15-

ELLSWORTH FOOD FAIR.
General Program For Week Same as
Last Year.

General Program For Week Same as
| Last Year.
Two weeks from next Monday the doors
will open for the third annual food fair
under the auspices OF the Ellsworth Mer-
chants association. The management
means that this years. fair shall surpass
the big success OF last years exhibition.
The program for the week will follow
the same general outline of last years
fair. There will be music afternoon and
evening by Monaghan's food fair orches-
ira of twenty pieces, dancing every eve
ming, daily awards of gifts and many
special features.
The decorations OF the hall will be
ella borate and novel. Those who remem-
Der the fine effects obtained by last years
decoration committee, look for something
original and effective. ;
The Bar Harbor & Union River Power
Co., with it's usual generosity, will con-
tribute lighting and electrical fixtures as
usual. The company will also have an
attractive display at the hall. The people
Of Ellsworth, and especially the Mer-
chants association, appreciate the evident
desire of this company to help in the
"boost" movement in Ellsworth.
Practically all the exhibition spaces are
sold. The Walter Baker Co., whose ex-
hibit has contributed so much to the two
previous food fairs, will again occupy a
double space with an attractive exhibit.
Among other out -of-towp exhibitors
will be Bower Bartlett, teas and coffees;
the "Jello" people; Clement, the Bar Har-
Dor music dealer; the Florida Land De-
velopment Co., with exhibition of-&fuits.
There will probably be cooking school
in connection with the fair. Miss Com
stock, who has become a favorite with
Ellsworth cooks during her previous visits
here, may not be able to come this year,
but will send an assistant. Miss Helen
Welch, OF Boston, an Ellsworth girl, who
has made a speciality OF dietetics, will
probably give three talks on that subject
in connection with the cooking school.
The poster contest for pupils OF the Bar
Haroor and Ellsworth high schools will
close next week - that OF Bar Harbor
school on Wednesday, and OF Ellsworth
school on Friday. The posters will be ex-
hibited and prizes announced February 10.
Prizes OF % and q are offered in each
school. The posters may be of original
drawings or combinations. They may be
on any color of cardboard, but must he OF
uniform size, l4x22 inches. There must be
at least ten contestants in each school, but
each contestant may submit as many de-
signs as he pleases. The posters must
| contain the words: "Ellsworth Food
Fair" and will be judged on artistic and
advertising merits.
The Maine Central railroad will offer the
same reduced rates of last year for food
fair week.

Drs. r. l.. Grindle and F. r. Ober in con-

against the spread of the disease, and
there is no cause for serious alarm.
