Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, is nearing 80,
but his four score years SIT lightly on him, and
at the banquet of the Sons Of Veterans at
Bangor Wednesday evening he responded to
the first toast "Our Fathers" as though he
were but boy yet. One can hardly realize
that half a century ago he was Speaker of the
Maine House OF Representatives, or that
while John Tyler was President he represented
Mainein Congress 1t is not true that the good

THE STANDARD OBJECTS.

Petition Filed to EnjoIn Toledo Trustees
From Buying Gas Lands.
TOLEDO, o., May 10.-The Standard Oil Com
pany showed its hand to- az in the gas fight,
when Charles F. Curtis and Dewey Rogers &
Co. filed petition with the Clerk of the Court
asking that the trustees of the City Pipe Line
be enjoined from buying gas lands and issuing
bonds. The cause for this action is that the
act passed by the Legislature was unconstitu-
tional. as well as the election by which the
enabling act was indorsed. Among other
things the petition AYERS that the business Of
furnishing heat and fuel to private citizens is
not of such public nature as will warrant the
levy of taxes. 1t also sets forth the claim that
the city owns no gas lands nor wells.

Great Hopes Raised and Dashed at the
spreckels Sugar Refinery.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1O-The digging of the
well at the Spreckels sugar refinery, which it
was thought contained natural gas spring, is
being proceeded with vigorously at the foot of
Reed street, on the Delaware river. 1t was
thought yesterday that the flow will not prove
what was expected of it. The impression pre-
walls that the gas is Of the kind which IS always
forced out of swampy ground when heavy
pressure is placed upon 1t, and it is supposed
that the immense weight of the foundations
for the new refneries has had som ething to do
with it. The ground was formerly very
swampy, but was recently filed in.i Mr.Spreckels
does not believe that natural gas has been dis
covered. If the gas is good for anything the
well will be developed to its fullest capacity.

THE TOPICAL TALKER
The Infant ApDetite-strnw Hat PhenOmenn
"A AInlIonhire,s Iden-.AlI Haill

In these very hot DAYS the average man has
little appetite for solids. But the weather does
not seem to affect the appetite of an esteemed
infant whose acquaintance I value highly-in
the interest Of science.
For instance this babe, aged ID months, two
days ago started out on gormandizng tour by
biting out a diamond from an elder sister ring
and swallowing it. This was not discovered
until yesterday. A few hours later he was dis
covered in the act of devouring horse-radish,
and when the bottle of this mordant eondi-
ment was taken from him. he devoted his at
tention to package of baking powder, which
he broke open and then swallowed two hand
fuIls OF the contents
Naturally the babe rose with the occasion.
For half an hour after the baking powder
episode the babe was missing. His absence at
last alarmed his mother snd she started to
search for him. She called him loudly but no
answer came. He was not in the parlor, din
ing room, kitchen or bedrooms. Where could
he be9 Only one place remainedrths cellar.
Thither she few.
The infant was there. He had turned on the
sBigot of a ten gallon carbon oil can and was
to the best Of his ability absorbing the fluid as
it fell in continuous stream. Nobody seems
to know how much oil the babe inbibed, but 1t
is gratifying to state that it apparently did him
no harm.
So
IN spite of the eminent propriety Of seeking
comfort and GOODNESS in q straw hat, as yet
only one or two summer tiles have been seen
on the streets.
It is curious to note how the straw hat comes
into use every year. No man likes to be the
first to don roof of straw. but at last some
extra-courageous mortal starts the ball. After
he has sported the straw for day or two you
will see dozens of men following his example.
In week the dozens will have increased to
hundreds. It is always the same.
SIMPLICITY and stinginess very often are to
be found in the character of a millionaire. The
former quality is lovely; the latter Is not.
Not long ago Western millionaire was visit
ing friends in this city, and Just before starting
for home, his hostess suggested that lunch
basket nicely stocked might prove an agreeable
companion for him during the journey. The
millionaire declined, however. saying that he
had some Of the lunch he had brought with
him from the West still uneaten.
He was induced to bring out the remnants Of
the lunch. The basket had been filed with
cake and bread and butter originally. Since
the filing three weeks had elapsed. The bread
was as dry as shingle with fine polish upon
it while the cake was about as palatabie as
sawdust.
But the man, whose check for &, 900, 900 would
be honored, was content with the shingle and
sawdust and went his way rejoicing.

too often, No. and suppose they won't lay
until eggs get cheap next spring, just my luck -
II ought not TO be your luck. Puets hatched
in April last should have commenced LAYING a
month ago. 1t is not too late now TO force early
pullets 10 laying in a few weeks. The late
ones. a. late as july aud August can be
brought forward so a to pay well, while eggs
bring good prices. Strictly fresh. puilets' eggs
will probably retail very high in Boston aud
New York markets b, fore March first. Mrs
L. J. Wilson, of Northborn. Mass. saws: In
past wears have noticed when nv pulets laid
at all. they would lay little aud then want to
set or NOPE around for weeks. Last fall and
winter there was no interruption of their lay
ing. The results were the best ever saw in
an experience of eighteen years. NV thirty
pullets were all just six months old when they
commenced laying. | never saw such returns
OF eggs. In just eight weeks after they COM
menced to lay, the thirty pullets laid 1887 eggs.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24th.
Elt5r ENsrorth american:
Please copy account of sinking of Old
Dominion Steamship, Manhatten. in your
valuable paper, as many eastern people are
interested in the survivors. One Hancock
county man probably saved seven mems
lives that night. Quartermaster Llewellyn
W Perkins was in the Manhatten's pilot
house when the collision occurred, and
after staying at his post until the ships
head was almost level with the water. he
cimiy made his way to the stern of the
ship and alone and unaided cut the life-raft
adrift. As he cut the last flashing he stood
up 10 his knees in water on the ships house
aud thus provided means of rescue for q
number of men who must have otherwise
been drowned. From the time the steamer
sank until they were rescued. he handled
the raft as only practiced sailor can Mr.
Perkins speaks in the highest term. of his
officers, and thinks they did all that brave
men could do, and says the schooner was
wholly at fault.
