Birthday Party.


pleasant affair was the birthday party
at the home OF Capt. and Mrs. Wellington
beliatty on laurel street last Saturday
evening. Their youngest daughter,
Evelyn F., was fifteen years old on sun
day, and the anniversary was celebrated
the evening before. Miss Evelyn was In
bangor during the day with her father
and when she arrived home she was some
what surprised to find houseful OF guests
who brought their greetings to her.
Those invited were the class OF girls, OF
which she is one, in the Baptist Sunday
school, and their teacher, Mrs. Nellie
Curtis, the f. l.. c. class of boys and their
teacher, Mrs. Harriet Curtis, the pastor
and his wife.
The company sat down to delicious
supper, which was finely served by Miss
Helene Bellatty, assisted by Marcia Bel
iatty, both sisters OF Evelyn, and Miss
Hazel Brown. The browning feature oil
the feast was q birthday cake in whose
capacious interior were concealed articles
OF certain significance to the ones who got
the pieces OF cake containing them. Keith
kiilam got the piece OF money, MISS
Brown drew the ring, Fern Webster found
thimble, while the hostess, Mrs. Bel
iatty, anticipating the surprise OF the one
who would bite the button, was the VIC
tim herself, and joined in the laugh that
followed.
Games were played, the social side OF
the occasion being skilfuliy engineered
by Miss Marcia and Miss Brown. In the
eiothespin contest, Kenneth Jordan ana
his partner, Hazel NeveIis, we're the prize
winners. The party broke up at reason
able hour and left with many words OF
appreciation for the good time which had
proved 80 enjoyable.

MAY CELEBRATE
One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary
of Founding Of Ellsworth.


of Founding of Ellsworth.
| In response to call for a meeting OF
citizens to consider the matter OF observ-
ing next summer the one hundred fiftiet b
anniversary of the settlement OF Ellis
worth, about forty met at the board OF
trade rooms last Monday evening, when
the matter was talked over.
Ex- Mayor Leland was made chairman
OF the meeting, and Edward F. Small
secretary. The chair called upon nearly
everyone present for an expression OF
opinion, and everyone. called upon gave
his opinion.
The feeling was general that a ceiebra-
tion of some sort during the summer OF
1913 would be desirable, and that this ami
versary date was as good time as any to
| have it.
The only differences of opinion expressed
were on the character of the event and its
length. Mr.. Hsines quoted from letter
received from Judge Emery, in which the
Judge heartily favored the setting apart OF
one day, and that given over to dignified
literary program, unaccompanied by ceie-
bratioD or carnival features.
From this extreme MIR. Haines expressed
himself as in favor of full week OF fes-
tiVity, ushered in by religious services on
Sunday, and followed by feature days,
such as merchants day, firemen's day, a
historical pageant, flower day, an obser-
vance -the-event day, and so on, with a
liberal sprinkling OF concerts, music,
sports, old-home week features, &c.
This extended program seemed to meet
with more general favor; some thought
it would be all right il sufficient funds
could be raised to carry out SO pretentious
program; others that the time devoted
should be gagged by the funds available.
But whatever the number OF days de-
voted to it. the feeling expressed was gem
eral that celebration of some sort next
summer was desirable.
Rev. Mr.. Mathews called attention to
the fact that those present were very
small percentage of the entire population
| of Ellsworth; that the voters present were
a very small percentage OF the total regis
tered voters; he regretted the absence OF a
number OF representative citizens, some
OF whom favored and some of whom were
opposed to the project. He questioned
the propriety of so small number COM
mitting the whole town to an undertake
ing involving large expenditures and
hard work.
After it was voted that it was the sense
of the meeting that celebration be held,
Rev. Mr.. Kizer moved that committee be
appointed by the chair to draw up tenta-
tive programs, and submit them to meet
ing to be called later. The committee was
appointed as follows: Roy C. Haines,
Rev. K. B. Mathews, Charles W. Joy,
Hollis B. Estey, J. Fl. Bresnahan.
The meeting then adjourned.

DEADLOCK in HOUSE
APPEARS BROKEN
Utter's Death May Give Demo-
Gratis Majority Of States.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The death of
Representative George II. Utter of
Rhode Island apparently breaks the
deadlock in which the house OF repre-
sentatives would find itself If 1t were
called on to elect president.
Up to the time of Mr.. Utter's death
the house was equally divided. Repre-
sentations of twenty-five states were
Democratic, twenty-five Republican
and the delegations of four remaining
states Were equally divided between
Republicans and Democrats.
Rhode Island was one of the states
In which the delegation was equally
divided and Mr.. Utter's death, should
his place not be filed by Republican
to fill out the remainder of his term,
would throw Rhode Island to the
Democratic side.
Throwing Rhode Island to the Dem
ocratic column. however, would not
permit an election by the house be-
cause the constitution requires a ma
jority of the states. This would be
twenty-five. Mr.. Utter's death, how
ever, does break the equal division be-
tween Republicans and Democrats.

WAR LIKELY TO CONTINUE
Allies Say Turkey Must Treat Direct
Iy With Them.

Berlin, Nov. 5.--Germany and Aus
tria will not Join In Intervention In
the Balkan war without q request to
take such a step coming directly from
one Of the belligerents The German
foreign Office has received no confir-
nation OF the report that Turkey has
asked the powers to mediate.
Those powers thus far consulted
have responded to Turkeys appeal for
mediation by declaring that they could
make only proposals for peace and
could not approach the Balkan nations
with a request for an armistice.
Some of the governments have
pointed ont that Turkeys proposal for
. cessation OF hostilities--in ether
words an armistice--would offend the
Balkan victors. Other governments
take the position that 1t would be an
infringement of international law for
the moment.
The war must, therefore. continue

persistent in their determination thar
Turkey must arrange directly with
them the terms of peace without the
intervention of the European powers.
This attitude is emphasized in a
statement from official sources, which
says:
The Turkish proposal of peace is
satisfactory in so far as it shows a
desire to prevent further bloodshed.
AS regards foreign Intervention,
however, there seems to be no chance
of the Balkan states listening to any
foreign counsels while treating for the
arrangement of conditions of peace.
These must be settled between the
Balkan states and Turkey direct.

1T may at this stage be declared
that the whole campaign was prear-

out entirely in accordance with the
program. For a considerable time an

has been welded by blood and common
sacrifice. There Is not the least dan
ger that any disagreement as to the
division of territory or the positions
OF the frontiers will disturb 1t.
1T may be assumed that, inasmuch
as the details of the campaign were
arranged with the greatest care. the
same procedure will be followed, both
as to the conclusion of hostilities and
subsequent political considerations.
