DAlston Wheelden of Ellsworth,
last week relayed radio message
from Lieut.. Donald B. Macmillan, the
Arctic explorer, saying that the
schooner Bowdoin was having gales
and thick snow storms, and is still
more than 1,S00 miles from home,
now being at Battle Harbor, Labra-
dor. 1t was impossible to say when
they would reach Wiscasset. The
steamer Peary had been ordered to
proceed to Sydney, where she will
await the Bowdoin.
1t is hoped all the people of ELS
worth and many from adjoining
towns will be interested in and at
tend the Swarthmore Chautauqua,
October Is, 16 and II, under the
auspices of the Civic Betterment
League of Ellsworth. This Chautau-
qua is one of great advantage to
those who patronize it. 1t is only
eleven years since it's organization,
but this year 900 towns, in sixteen
states and four provinces Of Canada,
are putting it on. 1t gives the best
that talent can produce.

the department answered still
alarm for another car fire at Osgood's

extinguished, but not before the wir-
ing of the car had been burned out.

jured.
Wilfred c. Norton of Trenton
pleaded guilty to charge of larceny
in the Ellsworth municipal court
Monday. One day last week, Norton
engaged room at the Webster
House in Ellsworth He occupied
it but an hour or two. A little later

Rev. James D. O'Brien, former
pastor of ST. Joseph's Catholic church
in Ellsworth, died suddenly of
paralysis last evening, at the Bar
Harbor hospital. He had been in the

was to have left the hospital to-day.
The end came without warning, and
death was practically instantaneous.

Ireland, sixty-three years ago. He
received his early education and col
lege training there, and studied for
the priesthood at the Grand
Seminary in Montreal. After ordina-
ton he served as curate at st. Johns

included Bar Harbor. AS the work
of the parish increased, FIR. O'Brien
was transferred to Bar Harbor, and
another pastor was appointed to the
