OBITUARY.
MRS. THOMAS II. CAMPBELL.

MRS. THOMAS II. CAMPBELL.
Genuine sorrow Is expressed by q host
OF friends at the death on Monday OF
Fannie j., wife OF Thomas II. Camp
bell. Mrs. Campbell had been failing fol
several years, ana her death, although
not unexpected, was a source OF grief
among her many friends.
Mrs. Campbell was one OF the thres
children Of the late Elizabeth and John
Wood Jordan. She was born May 1, 1859
Her home had always been here in Ellis
worth. She was married about twenty
eight years ago. Although never robust
she WAS, until failing health prevented,
very active in church work, and in many
OF the social activities OF the city. She
was, until its close, greatly interested In
the Unitarian church. She was q mem
Der OF the woman's club, and in many
ways manifested her interest in every
movement having for its object the spirit
ual and moral welfare of the community.
They had no children.
Besides her hus band, who has the SYM
pathy of . wide circle Of acquaintance,
she leaves sister Sarah r., wife of Robert
8. Leighton, and = hrother-Csharies Y.
Jordan, both OF Everett, Mass., who, to-
gether with Mr.. Leighton, were present at
the funeral, which took place at the home
on South street this afternoon, Rev. p.
A. A. Kiilam officiating.
The attendance at the last sad rites at
tested the high esteem In which Mrs.
Campbell was held, and the many and
beautiful floral offerings were mute e1-
pressiops of the high regard in which she
was held by her relatives and friends.
Interment was at Woodbine cemetery.

G. A. PARcHER SUCCESSFUL.
Induced DIR. Howard Company t.
Make Special Prices.

Induced DIR. Howard Company to
Make Special Prices.
After great deal of. effort and corre-
spondence, G. A. Parcher, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the DR..
Howard Co. to make a special half price
Introductory offer on the regular fifty-cent
size Of their celebrated specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia.
This medicine is recent discovery for
the cure of all diseases OF tine stomach and
bowels. 1t not only gives quick relief, but
it makes permanent cures.
DIR. Howard's specific has been so re-
markably successful in curing constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles, that
G. A. Parcher is willing to return the
price paid in every case where it does not
give relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specks before the eyes,
constipation, and all forms Of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this specific
that g. A. Parcher has been able to secure
only limited supply, and every one who
is troubled with dyspepsia, constipation
or liver troubles should call upon him
at once, or send % cents and get sixty
doses OF the best medicine ever made, on
this special haif-price offer, with his per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money II il
does not cure.

The Brown-taiI Moth.

oOeiOss aAAoo.t ehhAtA ~ 3cA~.
To the Editor Of The American:
The letter which appeared in THE
AMERICAN OF March 20 from Lynwood F.
Giles, esq, interested me greatly, because
have daily opportunity to see the harm
full effect of the brown-tail moth upon the
hardwood trees of eastern Massach usetts.
To say that they are q scourge to be
dreaded exceedingly is to put it mildly.
Unless some means more effective than
has been hitherto devised to combat the
pest is discovered, the hardwood trees OF
Massachusetts, are doomed. The area OF
devastation is rapidly spreading to the
other New England states, and every ef-
fort should be made to arrest the scourge.
To illustrate what the brown tail moth
can accomplish: / have two acres and
quarter of hardwood trees in Woburn,
chiefly oak. The moths have infested the
whole country hereabouts. Two years
ago nearly all my oak trees were alive and
healthy. To-day nearly every tree is
dead, and find myself Obliged to cut
them down. The lot was thickly covered
with large trees, some OF them two and
three feet in diameter, heavily branched,
and over fifty feet tall. Yet the moths
killed them as quickly as il they had been
two-year- sprouts.
The size OF tree makes no difference to
the moth. II spins its nest in dried leaf
at the tip of a branch at any height, and
when spring comes the caterpillsrs hatch
when the buds come out. The young
leaves have no chance of life, and the tree,
after few Intellectual attempts to leave
out, dies.
Last spring had frequent occasion to
pass q deserted house, in the yard of
which were two thrifty pear trees. The
trees blossomed out beautifully, but / had
previously observed many moth nests in
the tree. Then for several mornings
noticed battle royal between the moths
and the blossoms and leaves. The moths
won, and for several weeks the trees stood

Ellsworth republicans will meet
tomorrow evening to organize a
campaign club. Thus early is
the sentiment crystallizing that the
day of democracy in Hancock county
not to mention the State--is to be
shortlived, and everybody - that is
every republicans anxious to be in
at the death. The date for fling
nominations closed Monday; the date
of the primaries is June II, and after
that the battle is on. A local club,
centrally located, literally supplied
with current political literature, can
be made useful adjunct to the work
in hand, and it is hoped that this
initial meeting will be well attended.

The beginning of the end of the
plank sidewalks in Ellsworth is hap
PLY begun. Not since they disap-
peared from Main and State streets
some fifteen years ago has any con-
siderable amount OF this most unsat-
isfactory and expensive walk been
got rid of, and the work now going
on on Bridge hill, and that to be done
at the Falls is hailed with the greatest
satisfaction. If as much as the city
can afford is built each year, it will
not be many years before the last OF
them will have disappeared-and, let
it be hoped, forever.

A fiction in connection with the
wool bill passed by the last session
and vetoed by the President is that
the protective tariff promotes trust
in wooden goods. In the United
States there are over 1, 900 wooden
mills. The so-called trust owns about
thirty OF these. The trust has about
5000 looms, and in the United States
there are nearly 10000 looms. There
is produced in this country over $780,
600, 900 in wooden goods, and the So
called trust produces about $50, 900, 900
of this.

Both the Sentinel article and Mr..
Haines's disclaimer are somewhat
technical in language and a trile in
VOWED, and we have not taken the
time to study up the questions on
which they appear to differ. We
shouldn't vote for Mr.. Haines any
way, no matter how good an explana
ton he made; and, on the other hand,
it would take lots of evidence to make
us alter the high opinion of him per-
sonally which has been formed from a
long acquaintance.-RockIGnd OpiR-

The fiction that the protective
system has something to do with the
high cost OF living has been circulated
broadcast. That is not only fiction,
but baseless misstatemet. The in
crease in the cost of living is an actual
fact, but it is an economic develop
ment, absolutely worldwide, and is as
true of Europe and Asia, South
America, Australia and Japan as of
the United States, so that there is no
relation between the high cost of hv-
ing in the United States and the pro-
tective system.

The popular notion that flying fish beat
their s'wings'' is mistake, il we are to
rely upon the results of studies of these
fish made by no less an authority than
Captain Barrett Hamilton. 1t appears that
the wings are not true organs of flight,
but rather play the part OF parachute or
an aeroplane. The whole motive power is
supplied by the tail, which acts as pro-
peiler, and the vibration or quivering of
the wings in the air currents and their oc-
caslonsl shift of inclination are not phe-
nomena connected with the propulsion Of
she fish in its aerial fight.
