FRANCIS RADOUx.
What Our Oldest Citizen Says OF Him
self.

Mr.. Francis Radoux, our Oldest AID much
reporter the following sketch of bis life,
tue other day:
I was born 10 France, September 9, 1890
In 1905 | entered the naval service of France,
aud in 1906 the vessel in which l was serving
was captured by an English man.ot-war, and
was confined on an English prison ship. To
1872 la@ped overheard and saved the life of
an English officer, aud for that the English
government set me free. / returned to France,
entered TIVE army, and was made second lieu
tenant OF Company Q, SeveDty-fourh Regi-
ment of France. We were ordered to march
when the Emperor left Paris, but had not got
more than halfway to the main army when
the battle of Waterloo was fought, and we
were dsbanded and sent home. ] saw the
great Napoleon frequently, but never had an
opportunity TO speak 10 him.
] left France in 1916 aud landed at Boston
October 49, 1916. l had no trade then, and SO
| went to work in the hat manniactcry of Mr.
jerome of South Boston. After / had learned
the trade worked on Washington street. I
then went to Watertown and worked for the
Boston Hat Company of that place, remaining
there two years. While / was there kept
dancing school much of the time. next went
into business for myself at Walthsm, where I
staid about year, and then went 10 tie viii
lage OF Nashua, N. III. This was before the
mills were put up.
From Nashua [ returned to Boston again,
and then went into business at Roxburs,
where / was burned out. March 30, 1880,
came TO Portland Two hours after we got
in the harbor great storm came on. A build
ing on Long Wharf was turned around, and
when the storm was over the harboF was full
OF timber that had hoated off. Many build
iDgs of the town were damaged.
l soon met an old acquaintance, Mr.. Thayer,
who as at the time wholesale merchant on
Exchange street. He asked me if L would
teach dancing school, and / said, "But will
your people send their children to a mecban-
ic?" Said he, mechanic sounds we'll in this
republican country" and they got up school;
the term began April IA, 1885, Longfellow,
the poet, was one of my scholars
| married, for my second wife, Ssrah, widow
oftRichaid Manning She was an aunt of Ma
thauiel Hawthorne. We moved to Ray .nond,
where lived for twenty years. During thai
time l kept dancing schools all over the
State l had school at Orono, and Governor
Washburn was one of my scholars. nay wife
died and | removed to Portland and lived
With my children for about two years. Then
l went to Philadelphia. and from 1864 to 1867
was curator of the Academy of Fine Arts.
From Philadelphia removed to Portland, and
have been here ever since.
/ think sometimes [ have lived about long
enough, and yet it is very pleasant here. Four
generations sit down at our table, ands my
health could not be better. [ go down town
pleasant days, and today / have been hard at
work all the morning clearing the snow off our
sidewalk.

Last Saturday night Mr.. j. FL. Doyle's house
"a Bracket street, was entered by burglars.
Mr.. Doyle's son went home about midnight
and had with him SAL, in bills and silver.
The most Of the money he put away, but
$18.06 in silver he left in his trousers pocket
and hung the trousers over chair in his room
when he went to bed. The burglar entered
the house during the pight and took the trou-
sers in Mr.. Doyle's room, securing the silver,
and also took SIS in bills from Mr.. Doyle's
fathers trousers pocket. The front door was
closed by the burglar when he left the house.
Burglars tried to enter the fruit store at 207
Commercial street, occupied by Mr.. John
Cox, upon whom in times past they have
made number of depredations. The outside
shutter of the back window was broken, but
the inner shutter was so strongly barricaded
that they could get no farther.
Hon. John W. behring's office was broken
into yesterday morning. The burglars effected
an entrance by throwing a rock through the
back window and then raising the lower sash.
A few cigars were taken, but nearly all the
drawers in the desk were ransacked. 1t seems
that one of the parties must have cut his hand,
as clots of blood and finger marks were found
on the papers.
