number, twenty-eight are illiterate.

Methodist church, North Penobscot, Aug. 18th.
He came there by special invitation Of Charles

him to remain for while. Now the i'll health

that he can devote the necessary time to regu-
lar work During the AZ years that DR.. nlsley

been settled over only five churches and it is
with regret that his parishioners accept his
resignation.

/ From the Waterville Sentinel ]

The fact that John A. Peters, Repub-
lican candidate for congress, is not in
sympathy with some of the methods
being used by his Jealous supporters Is
demonstrated by a letter from him to w.
R. Pattsngall, the Democratic candidate.
Anyone who knew Mr.. Peters knew
that he would not for moment counte-
nance anything in the campaign that Is
not manly and ightforward, but the
following letter certainly leaves no rea-
son for ooubt as to his position.
Augusta, Maine, Friday.
Bro Pattangall:
Last Sunday morning DR.. West of
Belfast, chairman of the Republican
county committee of Waldo county. told
me by telephone that he had taken an
advertisement in my behalf in the Wal
do County Herald to cover page He
read it TO me and at my suggestion a
line or two was struck cut. | knew at
the time that the editor was hostile to
you and supposed from what had heard
that he would support Mr.. Lawrence as
against ne. | have this moment re-
ceived a telegram from Col. Parkhurst
informing me that in the same issue with
nv ad is a scurrilous attack on you
which is evidently born Of feeling of
bitter, personal hostility on the part of
the editor 1t is pleasure to know
that it ism necessary for me to tell you
that didn't know anything about this,
but ! want you to know that | have
tax en- measures to prevent and stop the
extra circulation Of the paper by pur-
chasing extra copies, which would other
wise be done on account of my ad. No
publicity will be given to this issue of
my ad. with my consent, and please don t
think this is entirely unseltish. | believe
it hurts me as you to have such things
90 out, even remotely connected with my
name.
Again, if you will find out and let me
know who is at the bottom of any such
slanderous stories about you, such as
you spoke of in Madison, l will cooper
ate with you in carrying out any method
of redress you suggest. l won't stand
for any campaign of personal abuse of
any other candidate. If we haven't any
better issues than SANDER and libel, l
should feel that ought to get out. You
and your friends and the papers friendly
to your candidacy have treated me with
such fine courtesy and perfect straight
forward, manly decency that l feel hui
inflated to have any paper, even unwiil-
GUS attacks.
Very hastily, yours truly,
JOHN A. PETERS.
The Sentinel publishes Mr.. Pattan-
gals reply to this letter, which is in
Like terms. Mr.. Peters action in
this matter is approved by Republi-
can generally.

The Fairfield Journal states the case
correctly when it says, eff you are not
q Republican you are Democrat, for as
surely as you vote you are supporter
and believer in one or the other" The
vital issue is the Republican policy of
protection to home industries and pro-
ducts VS.. the Democratic policy of free
trade. A vote for any other than the
Republican candidate is practically a
vote for the Democratic candidate and
policy, and thus an endorsement of the
tariff measure wtlch threatens the farm
prs and the manufacturers alike.

NORTHPORT NOTES.

1t is the verdict of all who have visited
before was it so attractive. The cottages and
grounds are nicely kept, the hotel, both to
exterior and interior, compares favorablv with
like edifces at our summer resorts, and the
we'll kept roads, shade trees and water views
combine to make it an ideal resting place. In
the way of amusements there is tennis court
and croquet ground in the park in front of the
hotel, and just outside the grounds Mr.. E. R.
Conner has picture and vaudeville show in
tent. There are rowboats to be had by
those who wish to row or fish, and the launch
Louise, Capt. W. A. Decrow, is ready to take
out parties Then there is bathing, and attrac-
tive walks. including one to the top of Mount
Percival, from which there are views second
to none in Maine. Then as to the material
advantages. The cottages are supplied with
pure spring water, and since Mr.. Cobe had the
wires of the Penobscot Bay Electric Co. ex-
tended to Northport, the hotel and many of
the cottages have had electric lights installed
There are three stores on the grounds and one
just outside the north entrance. home bakeries
and ice cream rooms. Milk, eggs, ice. vege-
tables and berries are delivered on the grounds,
and the Bramhall Bros of Belfast have kept
their customers supplied with fresh fish,
clans, etc. To those who recall the place when
there not building on the grounds these
changed conditions seem wonderful. Then a
platform was laid for floor and cotton cloth
was stretched over wooden frame for the
roof and sides The cooking was done out of
doors. When the season was over the cover
ing was removed and the platform and frame
work left for another year.
