FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
To be Established in Ellsworth on

To be Established in Ellsworth on
June % Next.
Postmaster j. w. Nealley has received no.
tice from the postoffice department that
free mail delivery will be established in
Ellsworth beginning Monday, June %.
The service will be inaugurated with
two carriers and two substitutes, but the
hours OF delivery and collections are still
to be worked out. Fifteen letter boxes
will be erected at convenient places
throughout the district covered by the de-
livery, which will include all the business
district, and, generally, the district lying
between the junction of Oak and State
streets on the north, Beal avenue on the
east, Washington street on the south and
the top of Bridge hill on the west. This
district has not been officially designated,
but it is understood that, roughly speak
ing, these will be about the limits, delivery
being extended beyond the limits stated
in some places and possibly falling short
in others.
1t still devolves upon those desiring the
mail service to meet certain conditions.
AS already reported, the numbering of
houses is one of these requirements. The
municipal officers recently passed an ordi-
nance requiring The numbering of houses
within certain limits. HouseholGers and
owners may obtain the correct number for
their houses or places OF business at the
city clerks office.
Another thing required by those who
wish the delivery is the placing of some
suitable receptacle for mail at their front
door. A slot in the front door, with or
without box on the inside, will answer
the purpose, or some suitable box may be
placed outside the door.
The postoffiee department makes it dis
tinctIy understood that no patron will be
served by carrier unless some receptacle
for mail is provided at or near the front
door. These boxes should be provided
some weeks before the delivery is estab-
lished, as Postmaster Nealley is required
TO make a report as to progress made in
this direction fifteen days before the date
set for the establishment of the system.
Failure of the people generally to comply
with this condition may result in delay in
establishing the service.

Ellsworth friends of Fulton J. Redman,
of New York, extend congratulations on
his marriage, which took place Tuesday of
last week at Newark, n. J. The following
report of the wedding is from the Newark
Epeninq Star:
The marriage of Miss Florence Elmore
Murphy and Fulton jarvis Redman, of
New York city, was quietly solemnized at
the residence of Miss Murphy's aunt, Miss
Florence d. Murphy, at Newark, this after
noon, by Rev. Mercer q. Johnston, rector
of Trinity Episcopal church. Only mem
bers of the two families were present.
The bride is niece of former Governor

duchess lace, falling in straight folds, and
she carried bouquet of lilies Of the valley
and pale pink orchids. Miss Caroline Red
man, of Boston, sister of the groom, was
her only attendant, and she wore a dra ped
gown of pale pink satin with garniture of
roses and lilac tulle. Benjamin F. Briggs,
of New York city, was best man.
A supper followed the ceremony. The
color scheme of the decorations was carried
out in pink, white and lilac, With roses
predominating.
After wedding trip, Mr.. and Mrs. Red
man will live in Pelham Manor, N. Y.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Written for The American by Mem

Last Monday being legal holiday,
there were no sessions of school.
Commencement day will probab bly, be
Thursday, June IS, though the date has
not been definitely fixed.
The senior class parts have been assigned
as follows: Valedictory, Harvard Moor;
salutatory, Agnes Young; prophecys

to undergraduates, Eben Whitcomb; ode,
Nellie Abbott.
Last Saturday several of the high school
students did some work toward preparing
the baseball field and putting it in shape
for the season. Next Saturday more work
is to be done, and it seems only fair that
some of those outside the school, who will
doubtless use the diamond later in the
season, should assist in the work

DEER ISLE MEN LOST.
Capt. H. G. Hardy, Wife and Brother
Victims of Wreck ON Jersey Coast

Capt. ii u. Hardy, W1fe and Brother
Victims of Wreck on Jersey Coast.
Capt. Horatio G.. Hardy, of Little Deer
Isle, his wife, his brother Abijah, who
went with him as mate, and seven others
of the crew of the schooner Charles K.
Buckley, were lost when the schooner
went ashore on the New Jersey coast in a
gale Wednesday night.
One member of the crew, Emil Martin
son, was saved from drowning in peculiar
manner, becoming tangled in a lifeline
that was thrown to the vessel, and being
dragged ashore. He rece ived injuries from
which he was not expected to recover.
Those on board were unable to seize and
make fast the lifel lines thrown to the ves-
sci by the life-saving crew, owing to the
heavy seas running.
Capt. Hardy, his wife and crew were lost
by the capsizing of a boat in which they
were trying to leave the vessel.
The Buckley was bound from Jackson
vile, Fla, for New York with lumber.
She was a three masted schooner of 430
tons, hailing from Newark.
The bodies OF the two brothers reached
their Maine home Monday. By a peculiar
coincidence, Mrs Hardy was daughter
of the keeper of the lighthouse at Sea-
bright, n. j., W here the vessel first struck.
The body was claimed by her father, and
was buried there.

Some time ago the pastor OF the Baptist
church inaugurated a campaign on the
clearing up of the mortgage on the church
property. This amounted to 500, and by
dividing this into seventy shares of SO
each and arranging it so that the shares
could be paid in time payments, a dollar
every three months, it was hoped that the
entire amount would be pledged. Over
one-third of the shares have been taken,
and on Easter Sunday morning the pastor
announced that friend, formerly mem
Der of the church, had pledged five shares
on the condition that the remaining shares
would be all taken by the first of August,
which will mark the tenth anniversary of
the present pastorate. The church is en-
deavoring to take advantage of this splen-
did offer, and the campaign will be pushed
more vigorously than ever.
