the roll of wealth called in the morning at
the Casino and at the afternoon drive, for It
is the roll of wealth that is called, and one
is able to appreciate here to certain extent,
as foreigner does, our worship Of the

perlenees OF the season thus far, cannot
reeolect any other distinguishing trait hay-

riches here is certainly in Its way impressive
and that among women impressive, There
is Mrs. Gammell, who enjoys, or at least We
hope she does, the national reputation Of
being the richest married woman in the
country. The golden halo which surrounds
Miss Catherine Wolfe is also recognized in
leugth and breadth of the land. These
ladies between them represent at least so
millions. Mrs. Paran Stevens certainly
stands for two millions. Mrs. William AZ.
tor, by the death of her two brothers, ID
herself the mistress of a million. Miss
Florence Lyman has the disposition of a
million, and Miss Ella Mason and her sister
divide several millions between them. There
must also be reckoned the wealth of Miss
Rachel Kennedy and of Miss Emily Gibbes
and her sister. l should have mentioned,
even before these, Mrs Gardner Brewer, OF
whom | can tell you nothing new, ana Mrs,
Bruen, whose noble. estate is on Bellevue
avenue. Here also must be enumerated
Mrs. Edward King, nor forgotten the littla
maid Perkins, at Lawnfield, and Mrs Eleanor
Hartshorne, her neighbor. In town again
are Mrs. Isaac Bell, Jr., and Mrs. Duncan
Pell, Mrs. Kernochan and Mrs. Admiral Bald

means exhaust the list, but memory hAlta

JOHN M. WILSON.
Death of Noted Pioneer of the UmbagOg
Lake Region.

Capt. John M. Wilson, an aged citizen of
Old Orchard and formerly noted pioneer Of
the Umbagog Lake region, died at Old Or
chsrd yesterday. after very short illness, the
immediate cause of his death being paralysis.
The deceased was born in Westbrook, now
Deering, near Aliens Corner, on the Both Of
December, 1898, and would soon have com
pleted his Seth year. The house in which he
was born still remains on its original site and
is still occupied though in somewhat dilapi-
dated condition. Mr.. Wilson moved there
from about the year 1881, and after a tempo
rary sojourn at Andover, in Oxford county,
took up his abode in the wilds of the Umba-
cog region, on the shore of the far off Magal-
loway river, where he then engaged in the
then Furnishing land speculations, and in the
manufacture and sale of pine lumber with
which the locality abounded. He was largely
instrumental in soon building up well-to-do
its most prominent citizen, being its first post
master, representative in the Legislature,
county commissioner, land surveyor, and bust
ness man generally in all that tended to en-
nance the growth, value or prosperity OF his
adopted home and colony. He was unfortu-
nate, however, in his enterprises and after ex-
periencing many reverses and much hardship
in his far off retreat, he abandoned his fond
hopes and plans for the improvement of the
colony and moved to more cultivated region
on the Connecticut river, whence after part
ing with the faithful companion Of his life
long labors and sufferiDgs, he, together with
his youngest son, on whom his trembling foot
steps now depended for guidance, turned his
face again toward his native sea shore, settling
the DiCturesQQe mines of Old no

last peacefully, as tired child goes 10 sleep,
without struggle or grosn, surrounded by

of love, and who sorrow but now as those who
have no hope. Well might it bs said, had a

STIRRING ADDRESS RY ALExAN
DER SULLIVAN.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-The Academy of Mu-
sic was crowded tonight, on the occasion OF
the ish-Republican mass meeting. The
crowd outside numbered about 1900. Hun
dreds OF men, with counterfeit tickets of adj
mission, tried in vain to gain admission. A
goodly number, however, did thus gain admis-
sion. The purpose of these men was said to
be to ridicule the proceedings, bat large
force OF police present prevented the carrying
out OF such demonstration. M. d. Gallagher
acted as chairman, and Mr.. e. J. O'Shaugnes-
sy as secretary. Mr.. Gallaghers opening ad-
dress was very brief. When he had concluded
Alexander Sullivan, late president of the Ma
tional League. was the speaker of the evening.
He was greeted with an outburst of applause
that lasted several minutes. Mr.. Sullivan
said In substance: We Irshmen have been
called turncoats. Turncoats from what? From
Harpers Weeklyi From Pucki We have been
told that the Democratic patty made liberty
possible. That may be true, but it was Judas
Iscariot who made salvation possible. The
greater majority of the people here tonight are
OF my own race and attend Republican meet
ing for the first time. We are here to protest
against being made the tail of English free
trade clubs. We are here to protest against
mau who is not friend of the masses and
therefore not a true Democrat Mr.. Sullivan
said that ,the Democrats had proven themselves
capable OF governing and added "We do not
want am Irish administration, nor any foreign
ADMINISTRATION, but we do want an earnest un-
hiDchiDgly American administration. Zap
plauSe) The speaker then went on to argue
that Mr. Blaine would effect such rule and
claimed tnat his acts as Secretary of State
proved bis argument "The Democratic par
ty" he said "nourshes sectional and false, not
national feeling and therefore we leave it,"
His speech caused much enthusiasm. After
the adoption of a resolution promising support
to Mr.. Blaine the meeting adjourned.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept 18.-In the United
States district court this afternoon the attor-
ney for Mr.. Shoemaker filed bill of discovery
IN the Blaine-Sentinel libel suit. The bill
begins by citing the fac5 of Mr.. Blaine bring
ing suit against the Sentinel and repeating
the original complaint in the suit, the Senti-
neIs answer and accompanying interroga-
tories and the reply of Mr.. Blaine's attorney.
The bill then states that after filing the in
terrogatories Shoemaker's attorneys on the
sixth OF September moved the court for a rule
against Mr.. Blaine to answer the same with a
specified time to be fixed by the court which
motion was argued Sept. 18th and overruled
Orators further say they have a good and
valid defense; that the facts stated in their
answer are true and that the same can be fully
established by answers Of Blaine to interroga-
tories heretofore propounded all the circum-
stances being fully known to him and that a
full and complete discovery of said facts from
and by Blaine is necessary to the orators in
their defense. In aid of such other testimony
as may be procHrable unless this is done the
orators cannot so fully set out and completely
show and prove facts necessary to the de-
Tense The orators therefore pray that q full
and complete discovery be made by Mr.
Blaine in relation to the facts heretofore
stated and to that end that he be summond to
answer the same under oath. The bill closes
by asking that q writ of subpoena be issued out
OF chancery for Mr.. Blaine and that he be
ordered to answer particularly these interroga-
tories; that the proceedings be STAYED until
such lime as Mr. Blaine may answer; that in
case MIR. Blaine fails to answer said bill or
fully and truly answer the interrogatories
further proceedings be perpetually stayed or
restrained.
The bill was not filed until o'clock and the
court adjourned without taking action.
