Moving Day at Courthouse


This is moving day at the county court
house, when three new officers enter upon
their terms County Commissioner Henry
j. Joy, Sheriff Forrest o. Silsby, County
Treasurer Boyd A. Blaisdell. There was
no formality in the transfer.
The board of county commissioners,
with Capt. Joy as the member succeeding
Fred r. Page, has not organized for the
year owing to the absence of County Com
missioner Sherman, who is in Augusta
as member of the legislature. Mr.. Page
retires with good record, and carries
with him the heartiest good will OF his
associates.
CountyTreasurer Blaisdeli is in Els
worth to-day, receiving New Years greet
ings, and accepting the delivering of
books and keys of the office from his
predecessor, Frank L. Heath, who has
made an excellent official.
The most emphatic evidence of moving
day is seen at the jailhouse, where sheriff
Silsby and his wife are getting to rights,
with many interruptions from Ellsworth
The outgoing sheriff, q. FL. Jellison, has
moved back to Bar Harbor. While here
he made many personal friends.
Sheriff Silsby has made no additional
appointments of deputies beyond those
announced in The AMERICAN last week,
and said this morning that he probably
would not do so at present.

Fire at Bayside.

The old Leander Smith homestead at
Bayside, Trenton, occupied by Charles A.
smith, was burned this forenoon, with ell
and shed. The fire started in the upper
part OF the house, evidently about the
chimney.
Mrs. Smith who was at home, did not
know of the fire until the alarm was given
by neighbor. The upper part OF the
house was then all in flames, and moth
ing could be done to save the buildings.
The furniture was saved.
There was no insurance.

Hardwood Factory,s New Head,

Owing to ill health, F. s. Richmond,
superintendent of the Ellsworth Hard
wood Co.'s factory, has resigned, and his
resignation has been reluctantly ac-
cepted. Mr.. Richmond's son Carl F.,
who has been associated with his father
ever since he csme to Ellsworth some
years ago, has been elected superintendent.
Until within a few weeks the factory
has employed about seventy hands.
Owing to the open winter, and the con-
sequent inability to get wood, the force
is temporarily reduced to about fifty. As
soon as stock becomes available, the force
will be increased, and night crew put on.
Ellsworth sincerely regrets Mr.. Rich
mond's resignation; he has proved the
most competent manager the factory has
ever had, and it extends to him its sym
pathy in his failing health.

DECLINATION OF
HEFLIN RECEIVED

Mrs. o. r. Hundley, president of the
Birmingham branch of the equal suffrage
propaganda, has received official notifca-
tion of the declination of Congressman j.
Thomas Hefih to debate with a member
of the local suffrage camp the question
of female ballots.
Some time ago the Washington corre-
spondent of The Age-Herald wired this
paper that Congressman Heflin would not
debate with Mrs. Hundley or any other
member of the local chapter of the soror-
ity. The confirmation of that report has
been received.
'Mr Hefin," said Mrs. Hundley, has
declined to accept our challenge. 81 will
probably issue a statement to the press
at a later hour
the opinion that leaders in the cause of
women, old maids or cranks. He has ac-
cepted an invitation to deliver an anti
suffrage address at Jasper in the near fu-
ture He is considered the leader in Con-
gress of the anti-suffragists, and has re-
peatedly expressed his willingness to de-
bate this question with his .confrere, Con-
gressman Hobson, considered the leader
in Congress of the suffragists.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Hef1in has expressed
himself SO freely concerning the leaders
of the equal suffrage cause, it is consid.
cred likely that Mrs. Hundley will fol-
low the lead of 1sadore Shapiro. anc
have something to say concerning a mar
who refrains from debating any question
when challenged by a lady.

large enough If nothing unforeseen

the church were drawn and accepted
nearly two years ago but 1t was not
until last October that construction

gramme was rendered yesterday even

posed of nine violins under the direc-
tion of MIR. Thomasson. During the

WARD MAY YET HAVE
REAL OPPOSITION IN
COMMISSION RACE
Vassar L. Allen Seriously
Considers Entering Fight
and w. R. Stewart May
Also Get in Race

The mortal cinch" which stares George
B. Ward in the face may assume diff
ferent aspect pmorrow. or before the
week is concluded.
As has been published, John L, Parker
may or may not enter the race for the
presidency of the city commission. 1t
will surprise, however when the an
nouncement is made that Vasser L. Allen
is considering the matter of becoming a
candidate. And, despite the sef-immola
tion of M. II. Mcdowell, the suburbs
might have a Richmond of their own.
Some time ago, In a letter to The Age
Herald. a friend of Mr. Allen suggested
that he become a candidate. Mr.. Allen
stated to a representative of The Age
Herald that under no circumstances
would be run. Since that time, however,
he has changed his mind There is no
question but that he is now considering
seriously the question of expediency in
regard to becoming candidate Friendly
pressure has been brought to bear.
He does not deny that he may enter
municipal politics All that he will say,
however, is that he will have reached
determination within the next few
days.
And 1t begins to appear that everybody
does not agree with the picturesquey ex-
pressed opinion of NJ. H. Mcdowell to
the effect that the suburbs, rather than
vigorously exert themselves politically
prefer to remain in the capacity of an in
offensive eunuch around the glorious har-
EN- of old Birmingham
w. r. Stewart, a well known resident
of Ensley, is grooming himself, accord
ing to the latest report in municipal poll
tics, to enter the race for president of
the city commission. 1t is understood that
he will have a statement to make in the
near future.

PARK CONCERT IS
LARGELY ATTENDED
Menaoli's Band Said To Be a
Mascot Against
Rain

One of the largest crowds of the
summer-perhaps the largest yet as
semblod-heard Memolrs band in Cap
itol park yesterday afternoon The pro-
gramme was composed of choice music
and the numbers that critics. said were
especially well performed were the
overture to Merry Wives of Windsor
the Mendelssohn "Nocturne,e La Pa
loma," as an extra" and selections
from Boito's 'Mefistofele."
La Paloma" is an old favorlte ana
is played oftener than most light
pieces. Yesterday it had new interest
and was heartily applauded. Mr. Mem
oil had made an original arrangement
of it in which he introduced the oboe
as a solo instrument playing the mel
ody.
Regular attendants at the park con-
certs laughingly remarked yesterday
that Memolis band was a mascot
against rain Several times within the
past two weeks an electric storm was
threatened but at concert time the pro-
gramme was carried out fully. Yester-
day at 43o it seemed that down
pour of rain was due, but only slight
sprinkle came. The crowd remained
until the last number had been played.
Jean Solar, the well known artist
and decorator, and member OF the
band recently painted a portrait of
Mr.. Memo1i in oil and yesterday aft
ernoon in Musicians hall he made the
presentation. As the portrait had been
painted without a sitting, Mr. Memoli
was taken by surprise He expressed
his grateful appreciation

Highlanders Do Better
The Bostons. after poor road trip,
during which they made their quick
cnange OF managers, are playing better
ball at home.
st. Louis ran up against Washington's s
winning streak before leaving the west
and is now struggling with the aforesaid
streak in the Senator's home pasture. The
New Yorks finished their foreign tour with
seven games won to eight lost; Some
promise has been shown recently by De-
troit's work, the club apparently finding
it especially easy to beat Philadelphia.
Aside from the Giant Pittsburg clash,
the recovered form of Philadelphia, shown
by continuation of their good work of the
week before, and Brooklyn's brace were
about the only notable features in the
National league week.
If Brooklyn keeps up it's present gait,
its western trip will be far more success
full than its last home stand.
Boston and Cincinnati each was on the
wrong side of the account in games won
and lost last week, and the Reds have
made poor beginning on the new playing
period. st. Louis got an even break
through Sallees ability against the Giants
and Brooklyn Chicago also was on the
losing side of the ledger but pulled ahead
of Boston today. The Pittsburgs are like
ly to do better now that they are at
home again after having passed through
the ordeal with New York on foreign
field
The record in each league of games
played, won and lost, with runs, hits,
errors and men left on bases Is as fol-
lows:
