Two Legislative Bills.


Senator Hagerthy,.. OF Ellsworth, has
introduced two bills of considerable local
interest. One is to repeal of the act
which made the clerk of courts Han
cock county the clerk of the Ellsworth
municipal court, and to give the governor
authority to appoint that officer.
LWhen Ellsworth was made "a city a
this court was superseded by a municipal
court, and the act creating it made the
clerk of courts er oficio the recorder. The
act also provided that the then Judge OF
the police court should continue to serve
as.iudge of the municipal court until the
end of the term for which he was
elected. The judge at that time was the
late George S. Peters, and he served until
1878.
The change was urged on the ground
that If would diminish the length of the
terms and the expenses of the supreme
judicial court, by giving the lower court
larger jurisdiction than the police court
had, aud would facilitate the collection of
claims under 800.
The change was generally favored, and
the proposed change in the recordership
seems also to be generally favored, as there
seems to be no good reason why the clerk
Of courts for the county should be the re-
corder Of the Ellsworth municipal court,
especially as now there are two other
municipal courts in the county-the Bar
Harbor and the Western Hancock munich
pal courts.
In the new bill it is important that
provision be made for the safe keeping OF
the court records; they are now stored in
the county building, and either that place
or an equally safe one should be insisted
upon.
The other bill proposes to reduce the
population of cities and towns which may
have boards of registration from 1000 to
$500. This would resestab lish in Ellis
worth board otregistfafion. which it has
always had until the population went be-
fos $3.50. Since then the duties per-
formed by the board have devolvedIupon
the municipal officers.
Much has been said in favor OF this
change. and the only objection seems to
be the additional expense to the city
which the maintenance OF a registration
board would involve.

A Plea to Hancock County Women.
EAST SURRY, Jan. 10, 1913.
To the Editor OF The American:
In view OF the great work that has
been done during the past fifty years by
the band Of White Ribboners that started
out, first a handful OF heroic women, in
the name and for "God, Home and Native
Land, and has now belted the world and
done what no other society has ever done
to bring about great and noble reforms,
ask all women of this county to arise and,
under the leadership of that world-re-
nowned woman, Lillian M. N. stevens,
enlist under the banner she SO nobly holds
aloft.
Soon there will come into our State that
national organizer OF the W. c. L. u, Miss
Rose Davidson, of Ohio, to encourage us
and to help on the work. With Mrs.
Deborah Knox Livingston, who has lately
come to Penobscot county on one side and
Mrs. Effie Lambert Lawrence, from New
York, now resident of Washington
county, on the other, we ought to do some
county.
would be pleased to hear at once from
the women of any town who would like
to have Mrs. Davidson visit them after
May 10. MRS. JULIA A. CHATTo,

The Duchess de Talleyrand, formerly

Sagan. three and one-half years old
Their names were not printed on the pas
senger list and all knowledge Of their
presence on board was denied AT the
purser's Office. although it had been an
nounced by cable that they were passen-
gers.
While information concerning the duke
and duchess was being sought the duke
himself came along r deck. his overcoat
collar buttoned up around his neck ana
he smiled Instantly he fell into the
clutches of half dozen photographers
and he seemed to enjoy their importuhi-
| ties.
| We'll. I will go out on deck and stand

Ia Duchess does not wish to come out.
But IT will be only for a minute vent

| Madame la Duchess"
As he left the group 10 look for madame
he heard the remark. "he seems to be a
pretty good skate" and ii evidently
pleased him. His eyebrows arched and
| he smiled again.
Presently he came back and posed with
the duchess and the young prince. HIS
good nature seemed infectious, for every
body who had to do with the posing and
picture making was happy.
The duke said he had come over with
his family TO attend the wedding on
Wednesday Of his sister-in-law, Miss
Helen Miller Could. He said he knew
nothing OF the plans. as his wife had re-
ceived a meagre cable message inform
ing them that II they sailed right away
they would be here in time for the we'd
ding.
On the way up the Bay the immigra-
ton officials sent a call for all saloon
passengers 10 assemble in the lounge
and answer the customary questions now
asked Of all passengers coming from
foreign port. The duke and duchess de-
cllned TO appear. sending up their cards
by messenger. These the boarding IN
spector refused to accept, but later they
were passed. the names being checked
from the ships manifest.
No member OF the Gould family was on
the pier to meet the duke and his fam-
ily. A fresh battery Of cameras from the
land invaded the pier and the French
nobleman gave another series OF poses
for the late corners
He said that he and the duchess would
live in the country home of Howard
Gould. on Long Island during the two
