ton as he may have. For the pres

OBITUARY.
Mr.. George Hamilton

Mr.. George Hamilton of Dexter, we'll
known in Maine and very generally through
out the country as the successor of the late
J. W. Barron, as Treasurer of the Dexter
Savings Bank, which Office he held at the
time of his decease, died in that town on
Thursday night. July 9Th, at the age of 65
years. Mr.. Hamilton's last illness was of
short duration, his death resulting from
paralysis. For many years Mr.. Hamilton
was identified with the business interests OF
Dexter, serving for long time as chairman
Of its Board of Selectmen, and represent
ing his class town in the Legislature in 1876
and 1880. He was foremost in the pre-
iminary work of building the Dexter and
Newport Railroad of which corporation he
was also Treasurer-indeed it is hardly too
much to say that had it not been for Mr.
Hamilton's energy in pushing that enterprise,
the final completion of the work must have
been delayed several years. Ii was Sir.
Hamilton who irst suggested the suicide
theory in connection with the death Of Mr..
Barron, which as all our readers know,
entered so largely into the later inyestiga-
tons into that now celebrated criminal case.
In all the legal proceedings connected with
the case Mr. Hamilton has been prominent
IN following up his own theory as against
any theory to the effect that Mr.. Barron was
murdered What effect Mr.. Hamiltou's
faafh will naE no futOra Of fbl.
famous case remains to be developed.

correspondent furnishes us the follow
ing interesting sketch of Rev. David z.
Thompson, who died ia China, July Sd:
Mr.. Thompson was born in Frankfort. Me g.,
sept ID, 1907. His early life was passed in
Portland, where he attended school. AMI sub
sequently he was a student at Monmouth
Academy. He joined the Maine NJ + Con-
ference at Portland in 1886, and continued
minister and in conference relation to the
close of his life. When the Conference
was divided he was sent to the East Maine
Conference. an had an eighty miles circuit
in Aroos.ook county, when to fulfill its du-
ties required him To swim rivers, ford streams
and ride on horseback from place to place.
Among the stations over which Mr.. Thomp-
son presided are Houlton, Weston Danforfh
and Lowell. where he held supernumary
relation two years, being 0us of health,
where he built a tannery and run store,
Orington, Stetson. No. Bucksport. Ellsworth,
Camden, Bpothbay, twice. Southport,
Georgetown, Round Pond. (Ihree times) Brl,-
TIL, Fren lship, North Waldoboro, Searsmont
South China, Cross Hill, Winslow, Va-sal-
boro, Sheepscot, (where his first wife died)
and China, where he was once stationed for
two years, aud subsequently lived in the
superannuated relation for seven years.
His ministry of forty five years active service
has been productive of much good. He has
had numerous REVEALS; he had seventy i've
conversions at Bucksport, and baptised all
of them but two or three. He has baptiscd
converts by 80, 40, 80 at time, often
through the ice, when run on the ice
would become necessity to keep the blood
in circulation. At least half score of
ministers of the gospel owe their conversion
to the interest awakened BY him, and it is
safe to say that over thousand converts
have been aroused to a change by his
instrumentality Verify his works do follow
him. His funeral was largely attended.
and by large following of Bro. Masons.
He leaves a widow, and one son. Rev.
Justin 5. Thompson, stationed at Woolwich.
One son was consecrated to his country's
service.

The Latest Craze.
A Virginia Reel on Horseback in 4 Paws
Wild Yves ."

Quietly sandwiched between bloodhound
ling, hair-raising deeds in the "Wild West
department of the Forepaugh show, which
exhibits in Augusta, Saturday, July 2lst, is
a refreshing little act that catches on finely
with the audiences. Four stalwart. bronZed
and dashing cowboys, and a like number of
rosy-cheeked, faIr-eyed, rugged western
girls participate in the most novel equestrian
display extant. Mounted on their swift
footed little bronchos, they actually execute
all the movements of the old fashioned Vir-
ginia reel, to music furnished by Bugle Bills
cowboy band. The horses seem to enjoy
the sport as much as their riders, and, all in
ALL 1t is merry and charming sight. There
is breezlness, a subtle flavor of the wild
western prairies about this unique act that is
peculiarly captivating Already the Virginia
Reel on Horseback" has become fashiona-
BILE craze, and in many of the larger cities it
is regularly performed by votares of society
at lawn parties, picnics and other gatherings.
This equestrian dance will certainly in
terest society people hereabouts.
