years of failing health. In the death

served the city as city marshal. After
returning to Penobscot, he took
keen interest in town affairs, serving
ten years in succession as first Sc
lectman. Mr.. Bridges was for many
years an active and devoted member
of the Methodist church, where he
was greatly missed when sickness
caused him to give up his church
work. He was the oldest man in the
town. He was veteran of the
Civil war, being promoted to colonel
during his service. Mr. Bridges was
a charter member of Rising Star
lodge, F. and A. M. He leaves

tered tenderly and faithfully to him
to the last, and son, M. F. Bridges

The Harcourt peerage Is revival of
IA title which had become extinct.
There Is a curious bit Of family his
tory connected with that Simon Har-
court who was created an earl by
George II. His daughter, with him at
Nuneham, was much disturbed by a
dream one night In which she saw her
father lying dead in the kitchen at
four O'Clock In the afternoon. The fol
lowing morning the earl went into the
park. He was not seen again till a
laborer was attracted by the barking
of dog to well in the grounds.
There the body Of the dead earl was
found, head downward in the mud.
1t is supposed he overbalanced while
rescuing his little dog, which had
fallen into the we'll. The corpse was
taken into the kitchen Of the house
where It was laid on the dresser, ex-
actly Mt four o'clock in the afternoon!
The story is often told at Nuneham.

Lasker Predicts New

Ship Rum
~ Tnternataonal News Service.

CHICAGO. June 20. The
next Congress will alter the
Volstead law so as to permit
foreign ships to bring liquor
into American waters under
seal, in the opinion Of Albert
D. Lasker, retired chairman Of
the United States Shipping
Board.
81 do not fear any complica-
tion as a result of the ruling
against liquor, even under seal,
on foreign Ships he said. But
the rule is a blow to American
shipping. On the Shipping
Board we learned the fallacy
of Government ownership Of
vessels and the sale of such
ships is greatly desired. But
the liquor ruling will make it
very hard to dispose Of them.
