When Vice President Hendricks was
here last week he visited the reservoir
and while at the Bulkhead was invited
byIMrs. Felix Sweigart to name little
girl which had been born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Sweigart a few days previous. The
Vice President named the child after
his wife, Elizabeth Hendricks and Mr.,
and Mrs. s. therefore consented to call
it. Elizabeth Hendricks Sweigart.
When, Mr.. Hendricks returned home
he told Mrs. Hendricks of her little
namesake at st. Marys and on Satur-
day last Mr.. Sweigart received by mail
from Indianapolis gold thimble AS a
present to the child, on which was en-
graved the initials, "E. H. s." The
thimble, Mrs. Hendricks said in the
letter which accompanied it, was pre-
sent to her when she was q small child
years ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Sweigart
prize the mementos very highly and
Felix says he wouldn't take any price
for it.-M. Mdrgs Argus. q ~ "

LOUIS lsIEL HANGED,
He Meets His Fate Like Man and
Dies without a Struggle.
rhe Execution Conducted with De-
corum and Dispatch.

REGINA, N. w. r., Nov. 16.--Louis
David Riel was executed on the scaffold
at the barracks of the mounted police
force near this city, for high treason
against the Queen of Great Britain, al
1923 o'clock this morning (mOuntain
! time).
Extraordinary precautions against
the possible escape of Riel, or the in
trusion into the barracks of unauth0riz-
ed persons, was observed this morning.
At mile from the barracks mounted
patrols challenged all persons, and COM
PEELED them to disclose written passes.
fwo other lines of guards were station
ID at points nearer the post, where the
same precautions were again observed.
No one was permitted to enter the
gurad room until S:12 o'clock.
The scene presented was that of Riel
IN the scaff0ld with Pere Andre, and
Father McWilliams with him, celebrat-
ing mass. Riel was on his knees, wear
ing loose woolen surtout, grey trowsers
and wooden shirt. On his feet were
'noccasins, the only feature Of his dress
shat partook of the Indian that was in
him. rE'7' f,nsN ...f .,= 90. M II,
He received the notice to proceed to
the scaffold with the same composed
manner shown the preceding night on
receiving the warning Ofhis fate. His
face was full of color, and he appeared
20 have complete self-possession, res
bonding to the service In clear tone.
The prisoner decided onlya moment
before starting for the scaffold not to
make q speech. This was owing to
the earnest solicition of both priests at
5tendino him. E,.- 40
He displayed an inclination at the last
moment to make an address, but Pere
Andre reminded him of his promise,
md he then arose aud walked toward
he executioner repeating his prayers

.aping him being, "Merci .Jesu.nS sIfe'

FISH AND FISHING. Mr.. 1refetthen Port
land lobster dealer. had Il curiosity IN the
lobster line at his establishment recently. The
lobster weighed three pounds, and was taken
near Long Island. One claw, one teeler and
one half of his body was of a very dark green
color and the rest Of the Shell a very light red.
The dividing line in the shell was perfectly
straight. 1t was sent alive to Prof. Baird of
the Smithsonian lnStitution.....At Il meeting
of the Committee on Fisheries and Game at
Augusta. Feb. il was voted ought to pass on
the petition for the taking of trout or other
fish from Runnclls' Brook in the town of Day
ton for term of three years. ID. Scribner of
Patten, advocated the petition for a law giving
permission to take salmon with nets In the
waters of the east branch of the Penobscot be-
tween the lst of April and 10Th day of July ...
The lobster cattherS at JoneSp0rt, are selling
Holsters in Boston market at a fair profit.
Shipped from Jonesport and other points by
b0at......Ihe following figures show the ship
mant of fish from the Provinces to Boston and
New York for the past three months: In
November 81 ,290 pounds; December, 1,1,5,630
pounds; January .1S3 $50 pounds. total 2,616,
$50 pounds. The total number for the three
corresponding months of last year was 1,93S,-
$50, showing an increase of I13S 100 pounds.
The shipment of fish from the Provinces to
this county will probably increase yearly....A
bill was reported to the Maine Senate from COM
mlttee last week which provides that there
shall be a close time for Holsters between Aug
uSt 10 anu october |. ana the penalty for Vlo-
lating shall be $50 for first offence and 81 for
every lobster taken. The Gamers cannot pre-
serve Holsters between July 10 and the first day
of the following April, under a penalty of
$500 for each day on which such unlawful can
ming or preserving is done. 1t is unlaw full to
fish or catch, buy. sell or expose for sale be-
tween October l and the 10Th day of the fol-
lowing August, any female lobster in spawn or
with eggs attached, or any young lobster less
than ten and one-half inches in length, under a
penalty of 81 for each lobster so caught: Sc ;
provided, however, that from April lst to
July 10Th it shall be lawful to fish for. catch
and sell or possess for canning and all other
purposes any lobster not less than nine inches
in length. but not including female Holsters in
spawn or with eggs attached. Provision is
made for the appointments of one or two COM
missioners by the Governor who shall have a
general supervision of the fisheries, regulated
by certain sections of the game laws.....Mr
Charles Hill, a Saco ieweer, has invented Il
novel but simple form of ice fishing trap. 1t
consists of two strips of pine wood fastened to-
gether by screw so as TO swing, and held by
spring at the top. On one stick is red
flannel flag. which flies up when the hook is
bitten, thus indicating to the fisherman, though
a long way off, that he has secured fish. Mr..
Hill has already received large orders for his
invention.
