frmed their action.
While the appointment is as yet tenn
porary, it is hardly conceivable that any
circumstances could arise to render it
advisable to disturb situation which has
come about in large measure spontane-
ously, and at the same time seems to be in
harmony with the general sentiment of
the community, which recognizes Mr..
Bartlett's character, fitness for the office,
and long standing interest in the town.

SUICIDE AT CAsTINE.
Postmaster Charles H. Hooper Ends
His Life.

His Life.
Postmaster Charles H. Hooper, Of Cas-
tine, respondent because OF ill health,
took his life by drowning in the harbor
at Castine last Friday morning. Deceased
was an influential and esteemed citizen of
the town, and his sad death causes gen.
eral sorrow.
Mr.. Hooper was born in Castine in 1912.
On April 10, 1861, he enlisted as private
in Co. B, I'd Maine volunteers, and was dis
charged at expiration of service, August
%, 1868. For several years he served as
clerk in the store of Samuel Adams & Son,
the late Isaiah l.. Shepherd under the firm
name of Hooper & Shepherd.
Mr.. Hooper for many years had been
one Of Castines most active and promi-
nent men. He was much-interested and
Jealous member of Hancock lodge, +. and
A. M, having served five years as master
and seventeen years as secretary of the
lodge. He was also member OF Castine
R. A. c., having been Identified from Han
cock R. A. c., at Bucksport. At the time
of his death he was worthy patron Of 5.
H. Whitney lodge, o. E. s.
He was member Of Charles l.. Stevens
post, No. is, g. A. R.; had been its COM
mander, and at the time of his death was
its quartermaster. During his whole life
he had been warmly interested in what
ever he thought would promote the in
terests of the town, especially in its moral
and religious aspects. For very many
years he had been the superintendent OF
the Unitarian Sunday school.
He leaves a widow, two sons and two
daughters.
The funeral was held at the Unitarian

Douthitt officiating. The church was filled
to its capacity. The G. A. R., Woman's
relief corps, Hancock lodge, F. and A. M,
Order OF Redmen and Order of Fcresters,
of all OF w hich he was member, were all
present in a body. The flowers were
abundant and beautiful. The G. A. R.

postmaster of Castine to succeed Mr..
Hooper. Mr.. Bartlett is a graduate of the
Ellsworth high school, and of Bowdoin

Smyth mathematical prize, and many
other honors. After graduation he was
principal of the Castine high school for
two years and married the daughter of DR.

every summer there.
A year ago he resigned his position in
the Boston Latin school and came to Cas-
tine to reside with his family. When Mr.
Hooper became ill, he arranged tentatively
with Mr.. Bartlett to take his place in the
| office. Upon Mr.. Hooper's tragic death
his bondsmen selected Mr.. Bartlett to
take charge of the Office, pending the ar

"I frankly acknowledge that the
American color sense is not as high

tribute that fault largely to the fact
that retail buying in this country is
mostly in the hands Of men. Scientists
state that there is far larger per-

than in women. Note the fact that
when the French manufacturer was
asked to make the golden rose he en-
ployed woman artist to do the work,
and it was her color sense as well as
her thoroughness that contributed to
it's success. We are not informed
whether woman had any part in
the making Of the American rose.

NARROW ESCAPE.

BACKED into BY w. WI. R. FREIGHT
WHILE CROSSING THE TRACK
I'M AUTO.
The Former Saved Himself By Jump
ing On Car-The Latter Received
Mashed Ankle BY Being Caught
Under Auto.

What might have been a fatal acci-
dent involving the lives of two per-
sons occurred on Monday afternoon
at the crossing which runs past the
freight depot on the Western
Maryland Railroad, east Of Main
street. Mr. Michael A. Doyle, a
member of the firm Of Doyle & Magee,
dealers in farming implements, and
Mr.. John Magee, a. son Of Mr.. Frank
Magee another member OF the
firm, were crossing the tracks Of
the railroad at the alley, In o. Brush
automobile, when suddenly, without
any warning, a freight car was
backed against their machine, smash
ing it into kindling wood. Mr.. Doyle
jumped to safety but Mr.. Magee, who
was running the machine, was pinned
behind the steering wheel and was
thrown out on the ground with his
left ankle fastened i'm the wreckage
of the machine. Messrs. Fred Rine-
hart and William Helm seeing the
accident rushed to the scene and eX-
tracted Mr.. Magee. He sustained bad
ly broken left ankle and a severe
nervous shock. Mr.. Magee was re-
moved to the Office of Doyle & Ma
gee, a short distance away, and Drs.
Fitzhugh and Woodward, surgeons
for the railroad company, were sum-
moned. They set the broken ankle
and the injured young man was later
removed to Baltimore Hospital on
a special train which was passing
here with Mr.. Rineholt, the injured
engineer of the Blue Mountain ex-
press which was wrecked on Friday,
and Chief surgeon DR.. Dunott.
Mr. Doyle suffered considerable
from nervous shock and he came
within an ace of being caught under
the freight car.

one as all westbound trains are COM
pletely hidden from the view Of ap-
preaching pedestrians and teams. a
