NATHANIEL c. MATTHEWS.

Belfast relatives received a telegram
Saturday morning, Jan. 29th, announc-
ing the death of Nathaniel c. Matthews
of Fitchburg, formerly of Belfast. Mr..
Matthews had been in failing health for
some time but the announcement of his
death was unexpected. He was born in
Warren, November 20, 1843, but lived in
Rockland in his early life. For years he
engaged in the undertaking business in
New Hampshire and in Massachusetts,.
He came to Belfast and bought the shoe
store on Main street then known as the
C. C. Coombs store, which he conducted
for some time. While here he built the
bungalow on Northport avenue, now the
residence of Mrs. Carrie C. Matthews.
For years he had been a Commandery
Mason, a member of the Eastern Star
and an Odd Fellow. His widow, former
ly Miss Annie Dudley of New Hampshire,
two nieces, Miss Maude M Matthews
and Mrs. Charles R. Coombs of Belfast,
both of whom were like daughters to
him, survive. The funeral was held at
his late home Monday afternoon and the
intermeEt was in Gardner, Mass.

WEDNESDAY

Tom Moore, starring in the Goldwyn
picture, "Duds," which comes on Wed
nesday, is a soldier of fortune type. That
is doubtless the reason he finds such keen
delight in enacting the role of Captain
Plunkett in the above named production.
Captain Plunkett is man whose lighting
blood has been thoroughly stirred by his
war experience in France and who finds
the prospect of civilian clothes and job
rather uninteresting. Then comes the
big adventure, the chance to match his
wits and nerve and strength against clev-
er opponents; and he jumps at the oppor-
tunity.
When Maurice Tourneur picked his
cast for j. Fenmore, Cooper's famous
Leather Stocking tale, "The Last of the
Mohicans," soon to be seen at the CO.
lonial Theatre, he searched for the best
artists.
The beloved Uncas, last of the Mo-
hicans, could not be wrist Watch-wear-
ing Broadway actor of the screen hero
type. He had to be spiritual character,
with real man to be the carrier of Un-
cas- massage. Hence Tourneur examined
many actors, until he found Albert Ros-
coe, who is an eighth Usage Indian, and
wel-known leading man. He shaved
his hair, barred his body and made up for
the part.
Magua, the Hun-like redskin, who be-
trays the whites, is in the capable hands
of Wallace Berry, noted villain and bad
man, who carries off all honors for play
ing mean parts.
The Coloneps two daughters, Cora and
Alice, played by Barbara Bedford and
Lillian Hall, respectively, are pretty pic
lures on the silver sheet,
1t is unjust to call any actor in "The
Last of the Mohicans" a supporting play
er, for each is a star. Henry Woodward,
playing Mai. Hayward, is Tourneur's regu-
lar leading man, and does some fine work
in this picture.

The news of the death of Governor
Parkhurst was received with surprise and
deep regret in every section of the State
of Maine. Probably no man in the State
had more acquaintance and devoted
friends than he had Only two other
Governors of Maine have died when in
off ce. Governor Enoch Lincoln died
while serving his third term. Governor
Joseph R. Bodwell idied after having
served almost half of two years term.
On the sixth day of last month, in the
Capitol at Augusta, Mr.. Parkhurst was
inaugurated as Governor, an honor which
has been accorded to only 80 other men
in the State of Maine. Today, Thursday,
Just four weeks from the day of his in
au guration, his bereaved family, his
riends and neighbors are weeping beside
MS bier. The sudden closing of this Wig
oTous life at the eminence of its achiev-
II ent seems almost tragical.

TODAY

Langdon Mitchell's sparkling play of
love and divorce as practiced in the
smart circles of New York has been
adapted to the screen by Mary Murillo
and will be the feature attraction tomor :
row with Alice Brady as the star Upon
the stage the play kept New York and
the entire country entertained for num-
Der of seasons with Mrs Fiske as the
star. As photoplay it has lost none of
it's sparkle and wit and offers an ideal ve-
hicle for the expression of Alice Brady's
talent.
Tn star plays the part of Cynthia
Karslake, bride who is deeply in love
with her husband, but who divorces him
because he lives up to such manly traits
as leaving cigar butts on her dressing ia
BILE and willingness to respond to the
advances of a charming divorce. The
complications enter when the judge, who
arranged the divorce proves to be the ex
husband of the gay divorce. 1t is Gym
thia's object to barass her rival by mar
rying the judge. But at the altar she
loses her courage and returns to her d.
vorced husband. The picture is sumptu-
ouSly STAGED.

TUESDAY

The million readers who have enjoyed
Robert Louis Stevenson's most popular
novel, Treasure Island" will remember
the old ''Benbow Tavern" in which the
opening episodes are laid. 1t was sup
posed to be located on the rocky English
coast and to be a Mecca for seafaring
men. In the screen version of the ia :
nous story on Tuesday, Maurice Tour
neur reproduced faithfully the ancient
lodging house.
For this location he chose place along
the California coast, where rocks and
sand bars run out into the sea and which
is Sc dangerous to navigation on that &C
count that it is called "the graveyard of
ships" On this bleak spot Mr.. Tourneur
erected a building of stucco modelled
faithfully after the description of the
tavern in Treasure Island" Few peo-
pie by the way, know that ''Benbow Inn
was named after Admiral John Benbow,
an old-time seafghter in the English
Navy.

YOUR RHEUMATISM
Remove Its Cause by Purifying
Your Blood.

One of the most important du-
ties Of your system is to burn up
certain substances no longer of use
in your body. One is uric acid,
now generally held to be the cause
of rheumatism. 1t infames the
joints, stiffens the muscles, causes
pains, aches, and lameness.
The system is helped to dispose
Of this troublesome substance, and
rheumatism is permanently re-
lieved, by Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
one true blood purifier. It is
aided in many cases by Hoods
Pills, which in small doses are
gentle laxative, in larger doses an
active cathartic. A grand treat
ment, economical and effective.
