Our beautiful city begins to wear desert
ed appearance, as many of our residents have
lief: for the summer. Washington distribute.
her population in the summer season among
the various places of resort all over the coun.
try, and probably very few, if any, are
sighted.
GREAT MANY Go TO MAINE
and its many attractions are growing in favor
each year. Mt. Desert, Deer Isle, Old
Orchard, Moosehead and Rangeley are quite
familiar names already, and of course the
Maine people resident here are not backward
in imparting information relative to its fine
fishing. beautiful scenery, and pure, bracing
air, which last ia very essential to those who
have inhaled the malaria laden atmosp here OF
the Potomac Flats. DIR. J. A. Rankin, pas.
tor of the First Congregational church in this
city, left last week with party of friends for
Deer Isle, at which place he has spent his
vacation for several years past.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR
expects to visit Deer Isle and Mount Desert,
and 1t Is understood that he would like to
visit Moosehead Lake or the Rangeley Lake
region for few DAYS fishing. Senator Frye
would doubtless take pleasure in showing
him where to catch the best fish, and we have
no doubt he would feel repaid for his trip to
either place. Maine is a long ways ahead of
the malaria breeding swamps of Florida.
PENSION OFFICE MATTERS
Mr.. A. S. Perham of Lewiston, Maine.
of. De- L. L.
nected with the Special Examiners Division
Of the Pension Office has been assigned to
work in the field with headquarters in New
Albany, Indiana. His family will spend the
summer with relatives and friends in Maine
There is quite number of Maine men in the
Pension Office, the most prominent of which
is l.. +, Dickey of Monroe, Maine, chief of
the southern division of the Pension Office.
This division adjudicates all the claims from
the southern States and those of the colored
troops. The soldiers being largely uneducat-
ed and the condition of affairs in the South
during the war having been very much dis
turbed makes them the most difficult claims
to adjudicate and the evidence has to be sub-
jected to very close scrutity to prevent
frauds. Under the management Of Mr..
Dickey, it is conceded that this division does
the best work Of the office, and he is recog-
nized BY Commissioner Dudley as one of the
best Of his subordinates. Mr.. Dickey and
his wife keep open house at all times to
their friends and dispense their hospitality in
good New England style, and any waif from
the Pine Tree State is made welcome. Mr..
Dickey was one Of the first volunteers to go
from MaiIe at the outbreak of the war, and
performed service until Sept. 1862. when he
lost . leg at the battle of Chantilly. Va,
Since the war he has spent the most of his
time inths city and in the Peusio Office He is
republican. and takes lively interest in the
politics of his native State, and his vote can
always be counted on to keep Maine in the
hands of her friends, the republicans.
Mr.. Dickey and family will be found in
their usual haunts on the coast Of Maine, in
August.
