It has ever been remarked that Apollos Chase, son of Ephraim. was the first man in East Falls, who declined to follow the custom of treating visitors with liquor. He quoted scripture, "Give not thy neighbor strong drink." Ever after he was a consistent temperance advocate.
Capt. Ephraim Chase was noted for his superior strength. When his boys were men he would take one under each arm and carry them a distance, with such a grip that they could not escape.
Many times he was seen to hold by his hands, to a beam

in the house, and thus transfer himself across a long room.
Capt. Chase's wife was a woman of great courage. For several years she kept an ax near her bed as a weapon of defense in case of an attack by Indians or others. Her husband made a joke of "ax castle," declaring she would not have courage to use it. One night he arrived home late from sea, he found the door barred and raised a window attempted to get in. In a twinkling the ax was over his head, but the familiar voice "Don't" checked the descend- ing implement and Mrs. Chase was quite overcome by the aet. Capt. Chase said, "That was coming nearer my end than any accident or danger of the sea which I have met."

HISTORY OF MACHIAS.
DONWORTH.
April 11, 1833, there came from Dennysville to Machias, a young man, who had just reached his majority, -from that day to this the town has never been wholly dissociated from his name.
Patrick Enright Donworth was born in County Limerick, Ireland, 1811; was of mixed lineage his patromym having descended from an English ancestor, who passed to Ireland at the time of the abdication of James II. For four years before his coming to Machias, Mr. Donworth had been in this country and being of an earnest, alert nature, he had fully discovered what prospects were his in common with others, who sought in these early days a new home and a new life on our shores. His devoted love for his adopted country and its institutions was a conspicuous trait.
In a small building at the corner of Court and Centre streets, on the site of the Eastern Hotel, Mr. Donworth opened a tailor's shop, and here began a business life, untir- ing in its pursnits. By stringent fidelity to his simple call- ing and by economy equally as rigid, the young man here laid securely the foundation of a successful commercial, social and religious career. His habits of industry soon bore substantial fruit. In two years we find him purchasing the present site of Donworth Block on Main street, then occupied by the first school house built in Machias. He transformed the building into a shop, and moved his business hither.
His chosen lines of life were exemplary. His spare hours were passed in reading, a source of information of which he was indeed passionately fond ; often the hours of sleep were curtailed in order that his longing for knowledge might be satisfied.
As he accumulated books and learning he gathered capital to promote business: the shop developed into a store: the tailoring business disappeared, a conspicuous share in local enterprises was taken, and before many years Mr. Donworth was fairly started in that career for which he was known,

merchant. ship owner, lumber manufacturer. Ho rapidly bought real estate both in town and adjacent districts. His forestry was extensive and his vessels which sailed from his wharves, sought not only Boston, New York and other home ports, but made rounds of the seas bringing return cargoes from other lands
In any circle Mr. Donworth would have become prominent : if his influence and reputation were limited to an Eastern county it was because it was here he chose to live. In a wider space the effects of his character would have been proportionally marked; psychologically he was a superior man. The strongest note of his personality was his religiousness. His faith was Catholic. He loved it and identified himself with it through life. Everything Catholic attracted him, let it be topic, book or paper, organization or person.
It was at his house for years, when Machias had no resident Catholic Pastor, that the clergymen from Ellsworth, Bangor and beyond came once in six weeks or two months to officiate at Divine service and other religious functions: he bought and presented the lan l'on which the present Catholic church on Free street stands. Not only was this his free gift, he also contributed largely towards the erection of the first church and its support.
A second talent of Mr. Donworth was his high in- tellectuality. His mental endowments made him enjoyable, especially as they were set off by keen wit and a love of humor.
He delighted in social life as a relaxation and as a home keeper. He loved to play the part of host, and was never so at his best. as at his own table with his family and friends. In person he was tall and quite erect, which with his dignified though rather rapid walk made him a prominent figure in the streets of Machias for many years.
Mr. Donworth was to a great extent conservative. being naturally an aristocrat, nud yet was so far Democratic that he believed the place of merit was at the top. In effect he was an intense anti-socialist holding strictly to the principle

HISTORY OF MACHIAS.
that "he who earns deserves ;" the only exception being for the old, the weak and the incapable.
The character of such a man naturally turns to the making of a home. Mr. Donworth was twice married. - in 1836 to Miss Sarah Egan, of Eastport; in 1846 to Miss Mary E. Baker of Boston. His wife and nine children survived him ; he died April 1876. He rests in the cemetery at Machias beneath the family monument, but his influence cannot die. He is remembered as one of the builders of Machias and as one of the most respected of its citizens.
Mrs. Donworth survives her husband and occupies the family homestead in Machias. Their children: Charles H , Clement B., and Grace are residents of their native town Mary E., widow of Stephen Sherlock lives at Eastport ; John P. and Albert B. in Caribou: Maria is a member of the Order of Sisters of Mercy, her name in religion is Margaret Mary and is attached to the Convent of St. Francis Xavier, in Providence , R.

DREW.
