NEW INDUSTRY.
Creamery to be Established Here by
an Ellsworth Boy.

Creamery to be Established Here by
an Ellsworth Boy.
Ernest L. Smith, son Of Vim Smith, OF
West Ellsworth, is soon to open a cream
cry in the Odd Fellows block. The neces-
sary machinery, all Of modern type, has
been purchased, and Mr.. Smith expects to
be ready for business in few days.
Mr.. Smith, as an Ellsworth boy, will
have the confidence of all who know him.
He asks no financial assistance in his
business venture, but does need and
should have the corporation OF the
farmers Of the vicinity. He realizes the
present shortage OF cows, but hopes
gradually to increase the business and the
size OF dairy herds in Hancock county.
1t has long been believed that creamery,
properly conducted, could be made sue
cessful here. The one essential thing is the
cooperation OF farmers, and in giving this
and making the creamery a success, they
are also adding to their own profits. The
Opportunity of doing business with ''one OF
themselves, rather than with a strang er,
should insure a larger share OF this CO.
operation.
The people of Ellsworth will welcome
the creamery both as a new industry and
as affording opportunity to purchase
creamery products at home.

Suicide at West Ellsworth

Mrs. Winfield 8. Severence, OF West Els
sworth, respondent because of long con-
tinued i'll health, on Monday forenoon, in
the absence of other members of the
family, made deliberate preparations for
death, and drank carbolic acid.
The sad death OF Mrs. Severence was
shock to the community in which she
lived, and to her family. Though in i'll
health long time, her mind at times
being affected, she seemed better than
usual for some time before her death, and
was bright and cheerful Monday morning.
Mrs. Severence was in the sixty-third
year OF her age. She had been twice
married. She leaves, besides her husband,
one son, Howard Dollard, by her first
husband, and daughter by her second
husband Mrs. Wynns Libby, OF Bangor
also sister and two brothers.

Bangor, formerly OF Ellsworth, was the
successful bidder. Work will begin at
once. The building will be 1886 feet in

Word has be en- received from Washing

man Goodwin's secretary, that Ellsworth
can have warships in the bay on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 81, q and
%. The Merchants association will now
make arrangements for a combination
anniversary celebration and carnival for
those days.
Edmund e. Brady, who received the
appointment to the United States naval
academy, left last Wednesday for An
napolis, Md, accompanied by his father,
Edward e. Brady. Young Brady has
successfully passed both the mental and
the former. This is high compliment
to the Ellsworth high school, OF which he
was q member of this years graduating
class.
Arthur Everett Smith, of Gardiner, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank e. Smith, formerly
Of Ellsworth, and Miss Avis Louise
Parento, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
Parento, Of Saco, were married at the
home Of the groom last Saturday after
noon, by Rev. Langdon Quimby, pastor
OF the Congregational church. The bride
and groom left on a short wedding trip.
On their return they will reside at 81
Brunswick avenue, Gardiner.
The Methodist Episcopal society of
Ellsworth has purchased the George
Porter Smith place on franklin street,
formerly the A. W. Cushman place, for q
parsonage. Observation-Disclosures Pal
ladino was in Ellsworth Yesterday,
looking after the business OF the transfer
of the property. He considers the
Ellsworth society particularly fortunate
in securing SO desirable house at a
location adjoining the church property.
The lot joins the church lot at the rear,
and gives the society lot running
through from Hancock to Franklin
streets. The house is in good repair,
and Supt. Pailadino said yesterday that
there was not more desirable parsonage
in the conference. Rev. T. s. Ross, the
pastor just appointed to this church,
will move in at once.
Cyril Harper, a boy of seventeen years,
drifted from his home in Providence, r.
l., down to Bangor a few weeks ago, and
thence into the upper part OF Hancock
county, working at odd jobs for little or
no pay in camps or on farms. Last week
he landed in Waltham, and found en-
ployment at Mrs. Gilman Jordan's.
Homesick and without money, when the
temptation offered, he stole about $50,
walked to Ellsworth Falls, and was about
to buy ticket for his home when Sheriff
Silsby arrested him. Practically all the
| stolen money was recovered. The boy
pleaded guilty, and told Judge Hall
| straightforward story when arraigned this
morning. Judge Hall assumed jurisdic-
tion in the case, and instead OF holding
him for the grand jury, as is usual in
such cases, sentenced him to thirty days
in the county Jail.

ment and be help to the community.

Graft in Everything?

Every day, as some new form oil
graft comes to light, we ask, what
next? Are all things run by crooked
rules?" A New York correspondent
contributes the latest:
With graft exposures of every sort
coming so rapidly that it is almost inn
possible to keep track of them, the city
is nevertheless sitting up and taking
notice of revelations which indicate
that public officials and police nave
had lust about 100000 worth of free
taxicab rides during the past year
Moreover, while this graft was beng
distributed, it is stated that the drlN-
ers for the taxicab trust have been
practically immune from arrest for Vlo-
Iating the traffic regulations. THIS sur
prisipr state of affairs has come to
light as a result Of an effort to reduce
taxieab charges in this city to some
where near a reasonable basis and to
do away with the private stands IN
front of hotels and restaurants Tor
which the taxicab trust pays large
amounts of money not to the city hui
r.. he owners of the hotels and restau-
rants in question.
~ proposal TO reduce the cost OF
tayieab charges has been before the
board of aldermen for more than a
year and their slothfulness in proVld-
ing relief for a situation very EVIDENT
" demanding attention has finally led
to an investigation which has brought
about a revelation of the graft which
has been going on in this connection
Aside from the fact that this inYest1-
cation has already revealed free rides
to the amount of about $685. year
rendered by the taxicab trust, which
cost that trust about s25o,Ooo year.
the most surprising development is the
treatment accorded to the Independent
.axicab lines. The assistant district
attorney promises a sensation Whei'
the time comes to reveal the names OF
the officials who have enjoyed free
rides. Altogether it begins to look as
though it may be eventually pessinie
To nse taxicabs in this city at reas-
enable rate As soon as this occurs,
however. various city officials Will
nrobabIy do much less riding and con-
siderably more walking than at pres
ent +.

Secretary Bryan's Bad Habit.

Sometimes it would almost seem that
President Wilson is allowing Secretary
Bryan to run on with his peace
babble and other surface loquaeity, to
give the people of America opportunity
to fully size up the largely idolized
perpetual candidate. ANY other inter-
pretation of the executive attitude in
the last ten days gives the impression
cf an exaggerated Difference to the
functions of the Department of State.
Even Mr.. Bryan's most partisan and
loyal admirers must have noted the
embarrassment which his utterances
have caused in official circles While
some find cause for mirth in the talk
ing secretary's generalities, others rec
ognize the possibility of serious inter-
national MISUNDERSTANDING arising
therefrom. II is easy to miseonstrue
some Of the secretary's utteranees. For
instance, foreign jingoes find in his
peace declarations an evidence of ma
tional weakness and a cringing desire
10 head off all possibility of clash with
any nation that might take offense,
Or IL might cause other nations to mis-
interpret the temper of the American
people.
In the very reputation for honesty
and sincerity of the man lies the dan
ger The world believes in the man
and judges his motives according to
its lights or it's suspicious.
While Secretary Bryan is airing his
