press company had two other locations
under consideration, but the franklin
street store was the only one that gave the
necessary rear entrance accessible by
team. Mr.. Shea has not yet decided
where he will locate.
s. G.. Stevens, we'll remembered in Ellis
worth, died last week at his home in
Philadelphia, aged fifty-eight years. Mr.

factory at Brooklin for many years, and
spent great part of each winter in Ellis
worth. He was as well known here as in
Brooklin. eHe was a member OF the old
| Abenaquis club, and one of the most COM
panionabie men of that club of ''good
fellows.
Ambrose w Garland died Saturday at
the home of his father, Nathaniel j. Gar
land, on Third street, aged thirty-six
years. Deceased was born at Ellsworth
Falls, but had been employed in Bar Har-
Dor the past ten years, returning to Ellis
worth only a few weeks before his death.
He leaves three brothers - Irving, of
Rangeley; Ralph and Clarence, of Bar
Harbor and two sisters - Mrs. Edward
White and Mrs. George Maddocks, both
OF Ellsworth Falls. The funeral was held
at the Ellsworth Falls church Monday
afternoon, Rev. o. J. Gaptill officiating
Interment was at Juniper cemetery.
DR.. George A. Phillips, OF Bar Harbor,
always interested in the fish and game
raso,roas of this saction as indeed nf
the whole State, has made an attempt to
stock this part OF the county with the
Hungarian partridge, game bird which
is being introduced successfully in vari =
GUS parts of the State. Several pairs lib
Grated on Mt. Desert island year or so ago
have thrived, and the birds appear to be
multiplying. At his farm in North Ellis
worth last week DIR. Phillips liberated
fifteen pairs of these birds. The Hunga-
rian partridge is protected by tie Maine
laws throughout the year, until such time
as 1t shall gain foothold.

perfect the organization of the Maine
Academy of Sciences, one department of
which will be devoted to ornithology.
Miss Annie r. Stock bridge, of Ellsworth,
| who is much interested in the study of
| birds, attended the meeting and enrolled
as a member. Other Ellsworth bird lovers
have signified their intention of joining.
Miss ckbridge recently took photo
graph OF the nest OF an oven bird-more
commonly known, perhaps, as the ''teach-
er bird", from its familiar song, often

the side, bearing a resem alliance to an old
fashioned Dutch oven, escapes frequent
l detection.
