this years fair, are: Sidney Moore, presi-
denti Vira c. Ellis, secretary; John Nc
Namara, treasurer; trustees, Arthur w

Friends in Ellsworth and Hancock
county will be interested to learn of the
advancement toa larger field of Rev. H.
b. Haskell, former district superintendent
OF the East Maine Methodist Conference.
Dr. Haskell, who has been president of
Beaver college, Beaver, Pa, the past two
years, has resigned to accept position as
field manager for the American City
Bureau, with headquarters in New York.
The position he lakes has to do with
chamber of commerce work and civic de-
velopment. DR.. ,Haskell's new position
means considerable increase in salary for
him, and gives him larger opportunity
for service. Beaver college has prospered
under his administration, and DIR. Haskell
remained to get the college work we'll
under way for the new year before taking
up his new work.
Henry j. Donaldson, for years we'll
known character in Ellsworth, died in
| the insane hospital at Bangor Monday of
| last week, aged eighty-seven years. For
nearly fifty years Mr.. Donaldson had
lived in Ellsworth, known by everyone
yet known to none. For many years he
lived hermit life, occupying shack in
| the woods on Turner's hill. With the
/ growing intirmities of age, he was taken
this year to the city farm by Superin-
tendent Mitchell. Insanity developed,
| and few months ago he was taken to
Bangor. Nothing is known of his life
before he came here, about 1870, to work
as carriage painter, except that he had
served in the army, having enlisted at
Belfast under the name of Henry j.
Donohue. He had no relatives living, SO
far as known here.
The Ellsworth board of health, to sat-
isfy itself and the people of Ellsworth
that the condition of the city water re-
mained good, last week sent another
sample of the water to the State board for
analysis. The report received to-day is
reassuring, and seems to justify the be-
| lief that the previous trouble was merely
temporary, and caused by local dis
turbance in cleaning the filter of we'll.
DIR. Evans letter accompanying the analy-
sis is as follows: 'Analysis of the sample
of water from your public supply, which
you sent me Sept. 16, shows this water to
be in safe condition for drinking pur-
poses at this time. Neither chemical nor
meteorological analysis showed evidence
OF contact Of this water with polluting
wastes of any kind. AS long as you main
tain the water IN the condition repre-
sented by this sample, it will be consid-
cred safe and satisfactory one."
