A MUNIFICENT GIFT.
G. Nixon Black Presents Congrega-
tional Society with Organ.


The Congregationalists of Ellsworth
are very jubilant just now; they are
rejoicing in a most generous and unex-
pected gift. On Sunday last on his way to
the station George Nixon Black stopped
at the parsonage and presented Mr..
Mathews, the pastor, with a check of
large proportions to be applied to the pur-
chase of a new organ. The present organ
was the gift OF Col. John Black in 1858,
and in this centennial year Mr.. nlack de-
sires to memorialiZe his grandfather's
life and work in the church by duplicat-
ing the former gift.
Two names stand out conspieuously in
the early history OF the Congregational
church OF Ellsworth = those of Col. Mela-
tiah Jordan and Col. John Black. Col
Jordan gave the land on which the pres
ent building stands, and also presented
the church with its first Westinghouse.
After the erection of the present struc-
ture in 1915, the need of pipe organ be-
gan keenly to be felt. In this crisis Col.
Black stepped forward and placed at his
expense the organ which has done such
good service to the present day.
The donor OF the new organ is hneal de-
scendant of both gentlemen named, and has
responded nobIy to the call of sentiment
evoked by the memory of the great service
rendered by his ancestors to the first
church. No more beautiful way could
have been thought of to perpetuate these
honored names than that which has been
taken.
| Contract has already been placed for the
organ, W hich will be the most powerful and
complete in Hancock county. The very
latest arts of the organ builder will serve tC
make the instrument one of the most up
to-date and satisfactory in eastern Maine
The Hall Organ Co., of New Haven, Conn.
are to be the builders. The Congrega-
tional people are profoundly grateful to
Mr. Black for his munifcent gift; they
deserve congratulations.
At an informal meeting held at the
church last Monday afternoon Judge
Henry M. Hall, Col. c. c. Burrill, Mayor J.
A. Cunningham and Mesdames Wisweil
and Knowlton, with the pastor, er-o1icio
were made committee to have general
charge OF the work of making the pro-
posed changes in the interior of the
| church to accommodate the new organ,
| which, probably, will be located at the
rear of the pulpit instead of in the present
organ loft.

worth well informed as to points of progress
and interest.
Six machines have arrived and are being
put into position. Four more are expected in
a few days. We have cleaned out the factory,
and are building benches and adjusting con-
ditions ready for starting.
W. G.. Brooks, a former resident, has ar

We desire those who have subscribed to pay
their money to the Union Trust Co., and re-
ceive receipt, awaiting the original certih-

Hers if She Wants it

Miss Mary Wood, of New York, one
Of the brilliant lights at the general
Federation OF Women's clubs, says
that "the first thing to do is to work
not for minimum wage as so many
women believe, but TO work day and
night for equal pay for equal work. :"
The point made by Miss Wood Is
bound to receive thorough discussion
because IL Is one that has ratified, or
positively stuck friends Of women who
propose to regulate wages by legisla-
ton
Does woman want minimum wage
fixed by law at a figure lower than
the legal wages OF men? Almost
every measure seriously proposed for
regulating wages makes such dis
elimination. Or does she want to
trust TO long-drawn battle for equal
pay for equal work unsupported by
legislation.
Some of the best friends OF women's
cause are opposed 10 any movement
for equal pay for equal work" They
claim that In the vast majority of
cases women are employed instead OF
men simply because they are cheaper,
and II wages are equalized by either
law or custom, women will be driven
out OF employment; that In nearly all
vocations, wages being equal, there
are physiological, social and other rea-
sons to influence employers TO pick
the man rather than the woman every
time. If this be so, II behooves wo-
man to know just what she wants be-
fore abe starts much of an economical
upheaval.

The Times Great Contest
Closes 8 O'Clock Tonight
Indications Point Furious Finish and New Subscribers w"
Play Important Part in Deciding the Winners
of the Valuable Awards
Claims Counter Claims Candidates and Their Friends nd
cate That the Outcome Everywhere is in Doubt
he Times Plans to Take Care Crowd at the Finish This EVEN

With but a few hours before The
Times contest will be at a close, the
interest Is intense and all OF the can
didatos and their friends are breath
lessly awaiting the end OF the big
battle OF votes. Almost all are con-
fdent OF victory, and those who are
now ahead are sure OF forging to the
front at the windup by virtue of the
reserve votes which they have up
their sleeves.
The great campaign has now come
TO a question OF hours, and only
few of them remain. The great, good
natured battle OF votes has wrought
up more interest than any other con,
test In mercantile or journalistic
le'ds ever inaugurated in this vicin-
lty. Thousands and thousands OF
people are interested In the outcome
anc from the fact that votes and sub
scriptions have come in from hun
dreds OF miles around Is evidence
that the campaign is not confined TO
AZ" immediate vicinity.
The campaign has, indeed, been an
exciting one, and the real tug OF war
yet TO come. This will be enacted
this evening, and every man. woman
and child in this section and the sur
rounding country will await the re-
suit expectantly.
Astonishing Interest.
And II may be as well stated right
now that the growth OF interest in
the contest which is now approach
ing its close has astonished every
hody concerned. The campaign man
oger. whose function is simply to
keep the contestants and their friends
IF The Times great family informed
as TO what is going on, and who has
no function as arbiter or referee,
stands ready TO confess that he is
astonished not so much at the size OF
the votes cast for individuals as at
the widespread interest which has
developed on behalf of the communi-
tics In their candidates. IL shows a
pretty healthy state OF public feelings
when great number OF communities
will make the cause OF one OF their
citizens the interest OF the entire
body and get out and root for her
like crowd OF undergraduates root
ing for football team. This is what
II amounts to in some instances, coun-
~ against county, city against city,
aud village against villae, but the
spirit of competition has extended to
rural routes, and though these are
not being organized as some OF the
towns are. they are pre-empted by
certain candidates and are lining up
IKE opposing political parties. Small
boys and girls. young men and wo-
msn and mature persons OF either
sex are working for their friends In a
manner that goes to show that the
world Is no more irresponsible to the
promptfhgs than It ever was.
The Detroit times., 1912-07-20
Don't Be Late.

The campaign manager has done
his part TO make clear the conditions
urder which the votes must be regis
tered To the end that they may be
counted. II Is all plain enough sail
! ing and he Just wants 10 utter
caution TO the contestants. or course
there is not much use advising any
body against the practice OF holding
ort votes and trying TO deceive COM
petitors by show OF Indifference
That is a matter for the candidate TO
decide for herself The essential
thing Is to get the votes into the of
ace and II there are votes being htld
oft now--and those who have been
watching the contest would be justi-
fed In assuming that there are
why. they had better be got to this
ONCE in time.
The campaign will close on the
stroke of o'clock. standard time. to-
night. Votes handed over The Times
counter u sol will get nothing but a
tired smile from tired clerk. Votes
that are mailed n minute too late Will
be OF no avail.
About Getting the Vote In.
| Every facility will be afforded the
candidates for getting their votes into
The Times office. Experience teaches
that there will be a crowd about the
Office when the close OF the polls APP
proaches In spite of all the warnings
that nave been given II Is sure that
some of the candidates will put on
getting their votes in ntil the last
possible moment, but the campaign
manager would again warn them that
! the last possible moment ought TO
mean time which permits some lee.
way for accidents.
/ Votes will be received In the cam
paign department until the hour OF s.
there will be no difficulty in receiv-
ing votes that are brought In at any
reasonable time, but It must be borne
in mind that there will be a crowd
moment. Remember II a candidate
desires she may put her subscriptions
directly into the ballot box. The sub
scriptionc must be accompanied with
the correct amount OF money. Kindly
llform the manager before doing this
as the bsiness must be listed In way
TO be perfectly clear to the judges.
And Tow everything is set for the
finish. Effort will be made TO have
all the votes certified, and count al
together disposed OF and the prizes
awarded and the announcement OF
the same made in Mondays paper.
! The finish Is in the hands of the
candidates and their friends. Per-
sons who have been watching the
campaign with interest-who have
friends In nomination, and who would
like TO vote for them, must do 1t be-
