NEwHAMpsH1RE,s NEW SENATOR,

The Legislature of New Hampshire
has at last, on the 42d ballot, chosen &
successor to Senator Rollins.
Austin +, Pike, the new Senator, was
born in Hebron, N. H., on October 80
1919. He received his early education in
his native town under the tuition of the
late ex-United States Senator George G.
Fogg. He graduated at Holmes Acad-
emy in Plymouth, N. H., when Samuel
Reed Hale was it's Principal. He read
law with George w. Nesmith in Frank
lin, and was admitted to the bar on July
13, 1916. He settle in Franklin to prac-
tise his profession, and soon became
prominent in legal and political circles.
He was member of the New Hampshire
House of Representatives in 1850, 1851
and 1852 and was member of the first
National Republican Convention in
1856. He was State Senator in 1857 and
1858 and was President of that body dur
ing his last term. In 1865 and 1866 he
was Speaker of the New Hampshire
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Pike was elected member of the
XLIIId Congress, serving from Decem-
Der 1, 1878, to March g. 1875. At the
election he received 10,792 votes, his op-
ponent, Samuel N. Bell, having 1O,773.
In the next election-for the XLIVth
Congress-he was defeated by Mr.. Bell.
1t was notorious at the time that Mr..
Pike was counted out after midnight by
the Democratic politicians in Ward Five
in Manchester, and the support that has
been rendered him by the Manchester
delegation, aside from his fitness, is par
TALLY due to the sympathy felt for him
by his friends in that city, who were
then powerless to help him. He was an
active and efficient member of Congress,
attended closely to his business and won
the good will of his constituents. He
served on the Committee on Elections.
He has always been a stalwart Republi-
can and has served the party three years
as chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee. He is a good pub
lie speaker, has done effective work in
canvassing and stumping the State, and
is an earnest and strong pleader before
the court. Since he retired from Con-
gress he has devoted his whole attention
to his profession. He is eminent in his
legal standing and has an extensive
practice. He is man of wide reading,
is formal in his manners, yet courteous
and genial in public and private.

In the yard attached to the Camden
County Asylum, at Blackwoodstown, is
the grave of a man who lived in three
centuries. A common stone slab marks
his resting place, on which is inscribed
the name of T. Seeds, who was born in
1874, and died in 1906. The asylum is
built in the old potter's field which was
formerly connected with the aims house.
All the other graves have been leveled
off even with the ground, but this one
was left, as some of the older residents
of the county had known the deceased
and did not want his grave disturbed.

Queen Victoria does not go abroad
this year, but will follow her usual rou-
tine of Osburne till the third week in
August, and then Balmoral till the end
of November. The London journals
grumble because the special trains be-
tween Aberdeen and Ballater, while the
Queen is at Balmoral, are not paid for
by her. as is generally supposed, but by
the Government. They cost $3.50 a
week, and during the last ten years the
amount paid has been $46, 500.

The latest is that Sheriff William
Wright, of Essex County, will be prom
inent candidate in the State Convention
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. BILLY" Wright, as they call him
up in Newark, is strong man. He was
chosen Sheriff of Essex by an over
whelming majority two years ago, and
whenever he is on the ticket Newark is
sure to be Republican. If "Billy'
should be nominated he will make a
lively campaign, and shake the Democ-
racy up pretty lively.

A man died in Paterson, N. j., the
other day, who was known as laughing
Kelly. He was never at loss for theat-
rical amusement, for almost any Pater-

He did not always get the point of a

his laughter would startle the house.
On many an occasion he has SO upset
the actors that they, too, were convulsed
with laughter, and the performance had
to be temporarily stopped.

st. Louis Globe Democrat, Wednesday.
Inc death OF Capt. William L. Handle
ton, the Mound City boat.builder, on Mon
day afternoon, was announced in the river
column of the Globe Democrat Yesterday
morning. The veteran was probably more
generally known Than any steamboat builder
10 the United States, his social qualities and
genial Opposition having endesred him to
thousands in every section of the country.
Al the time OF his death ne was nearly so
years of age, and had reared a family that
any man might we'll be proud of. He built
some Of the finest steamers that ever navi-
gated Western waters. During the war
Capt HsmbletoD constructed a number of
gunboais for the Unite States at his yards
10 CINCINNATI The government never paid
the builders claims, and he was forced by
financial pressure to abandon his yards at
that point and move to Mound City. His
brother Samuel, who was his partner in the
uniori upste speculation alluded 10, went
into bu-iness with. him at Mound CITY, but
retained his residence at Cincinnati, where
he died two years ago. During the interim
b-tween the Cincinnati reverse and the
Mouod City venture, the deceased tried his
skill at sb.anboatipg. He owned the
Mary E. Forsyth, aud made a success of her
until he was induced TO undertake q trip
across the Gulf of Mexico. He met with
bad luck in securing an incompetent pilot,
who took the craft far out of her course, en-
dangering the lives Of all on board. After
the Gull pilot had lost his head Capt. Ham,
bleton called on Henry Ashton, Mississippi
river steerspan, who is still in harness, 70
deliver the people and the boat from destruc-
,ioo. The Forsyth had been badly battered
BY the mad waves during the storm of the
night previous, but BY Capt. Hambleton's
bravery and GOODNESS and the fidelity of his
river pilot the passengers and crew rem aimed
until dawn the following morning, when they
we're rescued. An hour or two later the
Forsyth went TO pieces. 1t was always Capt.
Hanoietou's boast that not life was lost on
that fearful night.
The captain managed his marine ways ut

Mound City successfully, but lost money By
interesting himself in Dan Rice, the show
man. Subsequently several riysruen got
on the right eide OF the old gentleman, and
induced him TO build hull Tor large-sizsd
siernuheeler for which they never paid
cent. The hull was sfterwaTd turned into
towbeat, which is now running in the S..
Louis and Mississippi Valley Barge Line.
The captain had been treated badly ON sew
ersl occasions, but as q general thing was
favored with business out Of which be could
make some profit The Madison, Virgins
and other Jerry companies would have their
work done nowhere but at Mound City.
The Snagboat Service also had implicit CON-
fdence in him. The Lighthouse Depart
ment favored his yards generally, and for
years the Barge Line had had all its boats
built at the Hsmbleton Ways. The Henry
Loury, the J Ay Gould, the Sidney Dillon and
o her like craft are among his handiwork. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company gave
Capt Hambleion the contract 10 build large
sioewbeel transfer boat for the Missouri
river at Bismarck, d. T., and 20 we'll did he
fill the bill that when a sternwheel transfer
boat for low-water service was needed he OBJ
taiaed the contract without competition. His
building operations were very extensive.
The deceased was a knight Templar, and
stood high in Masonry Among his ultimate
friends was Capt. William P. Halliday,
president of the First National Bank, at
Cairo. Fifty or 60 St LOUIS gentlemen left
for Mound City Tuesday night to attend the
funeral, which took place from the family
residence at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Delegations also attended from Cairo, Cincin-
natl, Louisville, Evansville, Paducsh and
olhsr river toWIs
