A COMING BUSINESS CHANGE.
The Old Firm of A. D. Chase & Son to
go Out of Business. The City National
Bank to Have a New Building.
The most important local business change
for|many years was announced last week.
R. 1’. Chase of A. D. Chase & Son has sold
the brick building corner of Main, and
Church streets—“Chase’s Corner”— to the
City National Bank of Belfast, and has
bought|the building at the junction of Main
and Beaver streets now occupied by the
bank. Mr. Chase will retain this building
as an investment and will retire from active
business, and the bank will secure the ad
ditional room it has long needed and a very
desirable location. The present Chase
store.will be taken down and a new up-to
date building erected, specially designed for
the needs of the bank alone. It will prob
ablylbe a two story building, the banking
rooms occupying the entire ground floor
with a director’s room on the second floor,
and will be a handsome addition to Bel
fast’s business buildings.
When R. P. Chase closes out his stock
and turns the building over to the City
National Bank April 1st it will be the wind
up of a business that has been continuous
iu the same location for nearly 53 years.
Ilis.uiother, Mrs. A. D. Chase, established
the business April 17, 1856, and gave her
life to it. She was oue of the first business
women in Maine and one of the most suc
cessful. In those days, and until the “drum
mer” or “runner” or travelling salesman
was abroad in the land our business peo
ple went two or three times a year to Bos
ton or New York, or both, to buy their
stock and Mrs. Chase soon gained a reputa
tion in those markets as a shrewd and care
ful buyer and estabiised a credit that the
house has retained to this day. It is worthy
of note that this firm is the oldest on the
books of the Boston Dry Goods Co. (for
merly Jordan & Marsh) and of C. F. Hovey,
and nearly the oldest on the books of John
II. ;Pray Sons & Co., and that these firms
are the only ones doing business in Boston
today which Mrs. Chase dealt with when
she started. Many other concerns, once
prominent, have gone out of existence.
Mrs. Chase began witu a stoca or urj goous,
carpets, millinery and small wares, and the
business has so continued to this day. No
side lines have been introduced, and only
standard goods of the best quality have
been carried and sold at a living profit. The
result has been a reputation for reliability
and square dealing that ensured a commer
cial success. Mr. Alden Chase, who later
became associated .with his wife in the
business, died October 30, 1906, and Mrs.
Chase died Oct. 22, 1907. Both had been in
failing health for some time and for some
years preceding their death the business
was in charge of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Chase.
Mr. Chase had been identified with the
business from early boyhood and during
the years of his parent’s activity had charge
of the carpet department, in which he
achieved a marked success. His selection
of rugs and carpets attracted the attention
of visitors, and in many instances sales
were made to people from the large cities,
who said they could do better here than at
home. For about eight years Mrs. R. P.
Chase conducted the millinery department
and was noted for the fine taste shown in
the selection of goods and for her artistic
creations in hats and bonnets. Three years
ago she gave up this line to assist her hus
band in the store. Both have worked hard
and will be glad to relinquish business
cares and worries for the comforts of their
handsome home on upper Main street and
their summer home at Rocky Point, Pitch
er's Pond.
Mr. R. P. Chase has been identified with
music ever since he was big enough to sound
a note; has mastered ^enough wind and
stringed instruments to equip a band, and
has been a member of and played in every
band organized in Belfast in his day. W hile a
member of the Belfast Band, at a time when
it had attained a reputation secoud to no
similar organization in the State, he collect
ed,unaided, SI,200 with which to buy new in
struments. He was also a member of San
born’s Orchestra, led by Percy A. Sanborn,
the well known artist and musician of this
city, of whose fine music many of our peo
ple have most pleasing recollections. Mr.
Chase has also been a successful composer,
with more than a local reputation. One of
his marches was played at a concert given
here by Sousa’s band. His most ambitious
work, to which he devoted months of
thought and study, was the composition of
a local opera, The “Granger’s Daughter,”
i , i i.. i — i i»i iitViD.li
jnUUUDCU IXCIO UJ “OllIV -- — -
musically and dramatically won the warm
est commendation. Mr. Chase not only
took part in the opera himseli, but arrang
ed and superintended all the details of its
production, a work of no little magnitude.
He had previously shown his dramatic abil
ity by his impersonation of Dick Deadeye
in a local produetton of the opera Pinafore.
In his retirement Mr. Chase will no doubt
find solace in the study and practice of
music, and though he will be missed from
the scene of his former business activities,
it is pleasing to the many friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Chase to know that they are to
remain with us and participate in the social
life of the community.

OBITUARY.
Susie Beatrice Greeley died at the home
of her uucle, Dr. P. H. Greeley, in Farming
ton, N. H., July 20, 1908, at the age of 19
years, 10 months and 27 days. She was born
in Hampden, Maine, where she attended
the public schools; then entered Hampden
Academy, where she graduated at the head
of her class as valedictorian in June, 1906.
She taught in the public schools of Hamp
den for the fall and winter terms. In the
fall of 1907 she entered Colby college, but
was obliged to give up her work on account
of ill health and return home. Her condition
was not thought to be serious until a few
mouths ago, but from that time she slowly
but surely failed until the silent Messenger
bore her across the peaceful river. _ In the
latter part of May she was taken to Farm
ington, N. H., in the hope that the change
might be beneficial. All that loving hands
could do was done to save her life, but it
seems it was not for her to recover. It is
rarely that one so endowed with intellectual
ability aud with the bright promise of a
brilliant future is borne away when all
seemed so fair and bright. Her happy
though quiet disposition endeared her to a
large circle of friends. The record of her
life is such that brings assurance that she
lives on, a shining star, in that holier home
where many dear and near were already
waiting to welcome her. The funeral ser
vices were held at her home in Hampden,
where Rev. Elmer F. Pember of Bangor
spoke words of sympathy. Many friends
sent beautiful flowers as tokens of the re
spect in which the deceased was held.
r Lines on the death of Susie B. Greeley
by Ella E. Rowe.]
I stood alone, as in a dream,
My senses seemed to rive,
I wrung my hands! 1 did not scream
But oh,the agony!
She was so young, so full of life,
Just bubbling o’er with fun,
How can I battle in this striie
Till my life’s work is done?
She was not frail; so well and strong
1 cannot think her dead.
We mourn for her; it is not wrong,
One joy in life has tied.
How can we bear this sorrow now?
When youth sat lightly on her brow,
We can only pray, and trust.
Our loss we know is but her gain,
We bear tills heavy load,
Our tears flow gently like the ram
We walk this weary road.
But in the future we shall see
Our Susie once again.
The meeting aye! what will it be?
The bliss will then remain.
We strive to see beyond the veil,
That death hangs dark between.
We know the’s safe and free from pain
Though absent and unseen.
For Jesus says, His words are true,
A place 1 will prepare,
For those who love me here below
Will dwell with me up there.
“Eye hath not seen nor ear hath heard,”
So reads the book divine,
The glories of the other world
Doth in His will combine.
Oh Father! breathe into our soul
Thy spirit’s holy air.
Take our poor hearts in thy control,
Redeem us from despair.
We will be patient in our lot,
We’ll trust to Thee our care,
We'll iive for others who have not,
Our burden Thou will bear.
And some sweet day, we know not when,
We’ll leave it all with Thee;
We’ll join our Susie ouce again,
And live eternally.
Just before going to press last week we
were advised of the death at the Hotel Som
erset, Boston, at in a. in., Aug. Dili, of Mrs.
George P. Field; but no particulars were
then obtainable. We have since learned
that she had been ill with Bright’s disease
for a long time and steadily failing for the
few weeks preceding her death, but this
was not generally known and the news of
her having passed away was a shock to her
friends in this, her native piace. She was
Miss Alma 0., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Field of Belfast, but for many years
had been a resident of Boston, Every sum
mer she accompanied her husband on a
visit to their old home, in which they both
have ever retained a lively interest. The
funeral services were held at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Horace B. Pearson, 36
Monmouth street, Longwood, Mass., Sat
urday, Aug. 8tb, at 2.30 p. m.
James Casey died Aug. 5th at the home
of his sister, Mrs. Mary Norton, aged 50
years and 10 months, after a long illness.
He was born in Belfast, the son of Michael
and Mary Casey, both natives of Ireland,
and was unmarried. The funeral was held
last Saturday and the interment was in
Grove cemetery.
Elisha D Wescott of the firm of Canant
Patrick Co., Portland, died August 5th at
his home in that city after an illnessof over
a year. Since last April Mr. Wescott had
been confined to his home and in the past
two months had been failing rapidly. Mr.
Wescott was born in Castine in 1866 and
came to Portland in 1886, where he was em
ployed as a traveling salesman by Conant
Patrick Co., until 1906 when he was admitt
ed to the firm. He was well known
throughout the State through his member
ship with the Knights of Pythias and
Ancient Landmark lodge of Masons, as well
as through his business connections. He
married Josephine Crawfo d and is sur
vived by her and her three children.
The Stockton Liquor Case.
To the Editor of The Journal: In
reply to an article in your last issue in re
gard to the conviction of one Oscar Gallant
for the sale of intoxicating liquors, we
would say that we find the article treats the
citizens of Mockton Springs, and especially
the officers of said town, in an unjust way.
When it is necessary for our citizens to be
obliged to produce evidence enough to hang
a man, if such a law was in force, before
they can he recognized by an officer of the
law, and after the case had been worked up
and they had the evidence of twenty or
m ire single sales and the officers were told
by our citizens that they were ready to tes
tily to all they knew about the case—after
all of this it was an exertiou on the part of
our citizens to get a warrant served by the
parties w hich in your columns havecharged
us with being unwilling to do our duty.
S. H. Merrithew,
Selectman of Stockton springs.
Stockton Springs, Me., Aug. 10,1908.

THE NEWS OF BELFAST.
The Hospital Aid will meet with Mrs. H.
H. Johnson tomorrow, Friday* afternoon
at 2 30 o’clock.
The speaker at the Young Men’s Repub
lican Club tomorrow, Friday, evening will
be Hon. Reuel Robinson of Camden. He is
a very pleasing speaker and there should
be a full attendance.
Leroy Coombs is getting his landing ready
on the north side of the steamboat wharf
and it will be extended so as to be used at
the lowest stage of the tide. It will be a
great and a much needed convenience.
When the Chase store and the City Na
tional Hank building change hands, the
new proprietor of the latter building, Mr.
R. P. Chasp, will remodel the present bank
ing rooms for the occupancy of H. J. Locke
& Soh, jewelers. The store now occupied
by this well known firm will be enlarged
by taking in the present directors’ room
and will be rented for other purposes.
Midsummer Ball is Searsmont. All
roads will lead to Searsmont Thursday
eveniug, Aug. 20th, when the 10th annual
midsummer ball under the management of
Misses Kuiglit and McCorrison will be
given iu that place. The “midsummer”
always proves to be the banner event of the
year, and draws a large crowd from Waldo
and Knox counties. Fruit punch will be
served free to all who attend. If stormy,
the ball will be given the next fair night.
The Cobe entrance at the City Park will
be finished in about a week. The work is
of solid concrete. The pillars extend 7feet
below the surface, are 10 feet tall and 4 feet
front by 34 feet deep. Each pillar is to be
surmounted with an arch bearing a globe
which the city will wire for electric lights.
This gift from Mr. and Airs' 1. Al. Cobe is
appreciated by all interested in civic im
provement, and in design is artistic and
modern and the construction is of the best.
At the regular meeting" of the Improve
ment Society, held Aug. 6th, a committee
was appointed to procure metal markers for
the trees at the park donated by individu
als through the society; also for some very
old trees about the city planted by our aged
citizen, Augustus Perry. The question for
a club bouse for a permanent meeting place
ior me several eiuos ana sucieues was uis
cusseii. This is being done in other cities
and the idea has tor a long time been in the
minds of many of the prominent members.
The feeling is now general that the time
has arrived when some definite steps might
betaken. A committee was appointed to
coufer with the officers and members of the
various clubs and to formulate plans at
once.
A BLAZING LAUNCH.
Three LiveB in Peril in tlie Bay.
What might easily have been a fatal acci
dent occurred in the bay last Monday after
noon. Mr. 0. A. Horton, president of the
Duplex Roller Bushing Co., Elon B. Gil
chrest of that company, and Harry Par
tridge of Sandypoint, a guest at the Cobe
cottage, Northport, were out in a new
launch built by the D. R. B. Co., and had
been to Northport and landed a passenger.
On the return and when just above the park
the engine was acting badly and finally
stopped. Almost immediately the boat was
in Haines, caused it is thought by a broken
live wire coming in contact with the waste
oil under the engine. Mr. Horton exclaim
ed, “What ean I do, I cannot swim a stroke,”
and jumping overboard he began throwiug
water into the boat. Mr. Partridge said to
him that he was making a bad matter worse,
and he stopped, and working his way to the
bow of the boat Mr. Horton held on to the
painter. Mr. Gilchrest meanwhile had at
tempted to put out the fire and was burned
about the Ams in doing so. Finding noth
ing couiil be done lie jumped overboard and
started to swim for the shore, calling to
Partridge to follow him, hut the latter said
he wouid not leave Mr. llorton. Partridge
then removed all his clothing but his pants,
in readiness to swim if he had to take to the
water. Gilchrest swam toward the shore
until taken into a skiff manned by Frank
Dunton. Foster Crocker and Marthou Doak
had meanwhile put out in a rowboat to the
blazing launch and when near it Partridge
jumped overboard and swam to the boat
and rescued Mr llorton from his perilous
position. They were all landed at the Park
and a carriage sent for to take them to Mr.
Horton’s residence on Church street. Mr.
Horton escaped with a wetting, Mr. Gil
chrest lost his pocket book and gold sleeve
links and Mr. Partridge was minus his
clothes, excepting the pants, but saved his
watch. Mr. liortcu fitted him out from his
own wardrobe, and Tuesday his mother
came down from Saudypoint and brought
him another outfit. With the exception of
the burns received by Mr. Gilchrest, which
were not severe, the party escaped injury.
Had the accident happeued farther out in
the bay, or an explosion taken place, loss of
life must have ensued.
The launch, what was left of it, was land
ed on the shore near the scene of the acci
dent and the gasolene tank and engine have
been taken out. Hut little remained of the
hull. The launch was valued at $650.
ASKS FOR INJUNCTION.
Sturgis Commission Requests County At
torneys to Proceed Against Owners.
The county attorneys throughout the
State have received the following commu
nication from the enforcement commission;
State of Maine, )
Enforcement Commission,}
Augusta, Aug. 5, 1908. )
Dear Sir; Some time ago we called the
attention of the county attorneys through
out the State to the provisions of the nui
sance statuteauthorizing injunctions against
the owners of buildings occupied for pur
poses which constitute them nuisances, as
being an efficient instrument in the hands
of county attorneys to shut off the sale of
intoxicating liquors. We consider the feat
ure of the law of such importance that after
consultation with the governor we now re
quest each county attorney in the State to
make use of the’power vested in him by
the statute, and to proceed in proper cases
against the owners of buildings used in
such a way as to be nuisances by-injunction
process.
It seems to us that it is practically in
cumbent upon county attorneys to see that
criminal prosecutions and injunctions are
followed up in oases where liquor sellers
continue after one or more prosecutions to
carry on their business in the same place,
and that repetitions of offenses should sub
ject the places they occupy and their own
ers to the penalties prescribed by law,
Wherever our deputies can do so, we will be
pleased to have them give you any assist
ance in their power in furnishing inform
ation along these lines or in furtherance oi
proceedings.
Very truly yours,
H. W. Oakes, Secretary.
