name brings greater strength to the
the Democratic party could have nom.
mated 70: Vice President. He is in
the best sense of the word distin
guished man. His positive achieve
ments in public life are sufficiently
numerous and noteworthy to entltle
him to place among the statesmen OF
the country.
JAMES G.. BLAINE, in his Twenty
Years of Congress" thus indOrses Mr.
Thurman as a man of pre.eminent
ability and political integrity:
His rank in the Senate was estab
lished from the dav he took bis eeat,
aud YVES never lowered during his SER
yice. He was an admirably disciplip
ed debater. was fair in his method of
statement, logical in his arguments,
honest in his conclusions. He had no
| tricks in discussion, no catch phrases
| to secure at at-ention, but was always
| direct and manly. His mind was not
| preoccupied and engrossed with pOlit
| ical contests or with affairs of state
He had natural aud cultivated tastes
outside of those fields. He was dis
eliminating reader, and enjoyed not
only serious books, but inclined also
to the lighter indulgence of romance
and poetry. He wss especially fond
of the best French writers. He loved
Moliere and Racine, and could quote
with rare enjoyment the humorous
scenes depicted by Balzac. He took
pleasure in the drama, and was devoted
to music In Washington he could
usually be found in the best seat Ol
the theater when good play YVES to
be presented or an opera wss to bt
given. These tastes illustrate the ge
nial side of his nature, and were a fit
ting complement to the stronger anG
sterDer elements of the man. His re
tirement from the Senate was serious
loss to his party-a loss, indeed, to tb'
body He leu behind him the respec
of all with whom he had been associa
ted during his twelve years of honora
BILE service.

The Lightbearers, Mission Circle OF

Probably Lost at Sea.

Yesterday afternoon the fishing schooner
Geo. w. Pierce, Captain William Richard
son, entered the harbor with her flag at half
mast and reported the loss of Mr. Lewis J.
Appleby, one of the crew. The following is
the story as told by one of the crew; 1--WE
were off New Ledge fishing on Saturday
The sea was heavy, there was strong wind
and the snow was falling fast The crew
were fishing in their boats about mile from
the schooner, and shortly before o'clock
D. M, on account of the rough weather, all
but Appleby returned to the vessel and even
then the sea was running so high that three
of the dories were almost swamped as they
came alongside. At $50 p. m. we first missed
Mr. Appleby, and after that we lay too and
watched for him until 8.15 O'Clock at night
and then started for port. While we were
watching we discovered a bucket floating on
the sea, which had been in Appleby's dory,
and from this, as the man could not be
found, we concluded that his boat had been
swamped and that he was drowned. 1t may
be that the man drifted far away in his dory
and will yet be found. but it seems more
than probable that he was lost. Mr.. Apple
by, formerly of New Brunswick, lived at the
Cape and was married but had no children
He was about So years old and has been with
the Geo. w. Pierce since last fall"

A statement appeared in the sunday
Times of yesterday which gives an
erroneous impression as to the exhibit
ton to. be .given shortly by the Port
land Turnvereln. The statement was
that the exhibition of this year would be
substantially that of last. AS matter of
fact, the work will contain scarcely feature
similar to that. There were then only 20
men in the class, which will this year con-
tain 80. The Indian club and dumb bell
drills are entirely new and contain far more
complicated and novel features than last
years.
The programme has several new subjects
such as the gladiator act, jumping and leap
ing, that were not before used at all, and it
will be seen that the members have profted
greatly by years work in the gymnasium
the results of which will be illustrated in the
practical and artistic numbers of the pro-
gramme, which, though of somewhat SINH
lar nature, have demanded more careful
training and more complete physical devel-
onment
