I
JoEn F. Royal, one OF Eiiswcrths old
and esteemed citizens, died early Monday

an illness of but few days.
Mr.. Royal, who wss one OF the board oil
assessors, went home from the Office oil
the board Thursday morning, i'll. His
physician pronounced 1t cholera morbus.
Owing TO his advanced age, and q weakened
condition Of bis heart, the disease took a
strong hold OF him, and Sunday his con-
dition became alarming. He failed rap
idly Monday, passing away about $50
o'clock in the evening. News of bis death
was a shock TO the community, as few

operations, working principally as Ia
surveyor OF lumber. he also taught
schools in Ellsworth and vicinity, being
assigned TO some OF the VIGOROUSLY
unruly schools OF the city, which he
governed without trouble, with tact,
rather than with physical force, though
he had the latter in reserve IL occasion
demanded.
MIR. Royal was particularly expert as
a mathematician, having an aptitude for
figures amounting almost to genius, with
ali the short rules OF calculation at bis
finger tips.

The Burns and Keys Claims.

The Burns and Keys Claims.
NORTH PENoBscoT, May %, 1918.
To the Editor of The American:
have been asked several times by re-
publicans in my representative district
what was the final disposition of the we'll
known Michael Burns and Keys claims,
which came before the committee of claims
in the legislature. AS a member OF that
committee, felt it my duty to join in a
minority report, sought not to pass, and
stated my reasons for so doing in the
House.
In the Burns claim the majority report
passed the House, but was turned down in
the Senate. 1t came back to the House
and the House insisted and Joined in a
committee of conference, to which the
claim was referred, where it died in peace
In regard to the Keys claim, there were
three reports - one to give him the money
he invested in wild land tax titles, to-
gether with interest thereon fer the past
ten years; second, to give him SIS, 900, and
the third, which l signed, was to give
him nothing.
The second report, to give him 5000,
was accepted. AT the next session the ac-
ton of the House was reconsidered. and
the report killed, never reaching the SEN
ate, where certain death awaited.
Both claims involved a saving TO the
State OF about $4,000 over the original &C
tlon OF the House. j. NJ. HU1cHINs.

How many of the uature-wise folk
know that fox viii tackle house cat?
Mrs. Lois Trueworthy, OF West Ellsworth,
looking from the wincow early one morn-
ing recently, saw fox in close pursuit of
big eoon-cat. The fox could outrun The
cat, but each time the fox overlook her,
the cat would turn and use her ella rs.
This would cause the fox to iump be TX.
and The cat would speed way for few
yards until the fox again overtool. her.
several times this was repeated, until the
cat finally gained a safe retreat under a
barn. The fox followed her to the barn,
and reluctantly gave up the chase.

n. q. Tracy, of Auburn, will perform a
field duty for his paternal grandfather,
Christopher Tracy, on Memorial day.
This gentleman was Revolutionary
soldier, and after returning from the war
settled in Gouldsboro, moving from there
to Durham, where he died. His grave Is
marked by a simple slate slab, giving his
name, but there is no engraving on the
the stone to tell that he served in the
Revolution. His Auburn descendant has
procured marker from the Grand Army
and changed the figures over to lT77.
This and a flag he will place over the
grave Memorial day. Christopher Tracy
was in Gouldsboro when the patriots, led
by o'Brien, captured the British vessel
Margaretta. When the British soldiers
came up from Nova Scotia 10 make
reprisals, Tracy joined the company that
rspelled the attack. He was one OF the
strong characters OF the times that tried
mems souls.

The show business is on the bum.
Travelling "troupes" are stranded all

patronage. The blame is laid on the
auto. They say folks are spending
on autoing what they used to spend
on theater parties. l can guess which
is the healthier.
