MAssILoN, o., Aug. 24.--Hon.
John Mcbride, Democratic candi-
date for Secretary OF State, arrived
at his home here to-day, the first
time since the convention, and was
given an ovation tonight by his
fellow-townsmen, irrespective of
party. If any man is popular at
his home, ii Is Mcbride. AS an
illustration of the good feeling that
exists toward him among Republi-
cans here, it may be well to cite the
fact that prominent politician
offers to bet any sum of money that
even II the Republicans carry the
State by fifteen thousand, Mcbride
would be elected.
This evening n number OF friends
of Mr.. Mcbride visited the modest
little home of the coal miner and
prospective Secretary of State, and
decorated 1t handsomely with flags.
This evening about one thousand
people headed by the Harmonic
Band, marched to McBride's cot

Prohibition in Maine.
New York Sun.l

1t seems little odd to see a con-
test for Prohibition beginning in
earnest in n State where Prohibi-
ton has been the law for more than
a third of II century, and which
only two years ago put Prohibition
into the Constitution. The vote for
st. John in Maine was only 2l60.
The vote for Eustis for Governor
was only 100, while the vote cast
on the same day for the prohibi-
tory amendment was 7O,7S3.

The Average Age of statesmen,

There are many gray heads in this
house of representatives, and fully half
the heads of the senators are either bald
or silvered. The average age of states
men seems to be on the increase, and
statisticians tell us that men live longer
now than they did when George Wash
ington was baby. Kelley at 70 puts in
twelve good hours of work every day,
and is as active as young McAdoo, who
is less than half his age. Wait, of Con-
necticut, is well preserved at 10, and
Singleton, of Mississippi, though over 70
years of age did great deal of work
towards securing the passage of his Ii
brary bill this session. 1t used to be,
though, that a man had about fulfilled
his usefulness when he reached the age
of 90, but there are twenty-seven mem
bers Of the lower house who are between
30 and 70 years of age, and among These
are some of the best men in it. Curtin,
of Pennsylvania, does as much work
now as he ever did. Ranney, Of Massa-

In Praise of the Esouimaux.

A traveller says of the Esquimaux that
they are kind, attractable and exceed
ing hospitable. BY following their
advice in his explorations he always
accomplished his object. "Tell them
what you want and where you want to
co." he said, "and let them have their
own way afterwards, and you are sure
to come out all right" Their confidence
once gained they are your friends for
life if it is not betrayed. An impatient
man can not influence them. They will
leave him. They must take their own
time, and have their own way in their
sledge journeys, if the desired result is
attained.
BY adopting their suggestions and fol-
lowing their advice Glider and Schwatka
travelled 8, 251 miles in one sledge journey.
This journey was in the winter months
through Arctic SHOWS, gales and dark
ness. The party withstood the lowest
temperature ever experienced by ex-
plorers in the field. For sixteen days the
Thermometer was over 100 degrees below
the freezing point, and for twenty-seven
other days ir stood at go degrees below
zero. The party relied for good upon
