CUSHING WED WITH OLD FREEpORT
In the Good Times at Her Centennial
Celebration.
fantasies and Wild Red Men Pres
ent In Large Numbers.
An interesting Grafton lby Editor
Lord OF RockIand.
Especial to the Pressl

THoMAsroN, July 5.-The town of Cush-
ing celebrated her centennial today in very
satisfactory manner. The usual salutes and
uproar ushered In the day. while fantasies.
Indians and the like, made things lively
during the forenoon. At noon dinner was
served the multitude, fish largely prsdoml-
mating.
At two o'clock the literary exercises were
held in the beautiful grove at Hathorn's
Point, Cushing's summer resort, big plat
form being erected there. After prayer, an
address of welcome was delivered by +. b
Miller, ESQ.,, Of Gushing. who presided. Mr..
Miller then introduced II. NJ. Lord Of Rock
land, editor Of the Courier Gazette, the ora
tor Of the day. Mr.. Lord spoke Of the ex-
treme youth Of our country when compared
with various old places, and then proceeded
to show the wonderful growth America had
made in the century. when compared with
the advance made by other countries, with
their thousand years Of history. The various
eras in our country's annals. from its dis.
covery to the present, were treated In sue
cessIon. while the eountry's material progress
was aptly Illustrated. The various prob
lens TO be solved, particularly the Ameri
can race problem, the assimilation OF
the alien guests who annually seek this
country for a home. were treated at
length. and the solution suggested In
the work Of edueatlon-that educat on,
which makes man good citizen by giving
him knowledge Of his country's history
and the principles that actuated the founders
of our republic. Then came an epltOme OF
Cushing's history, the address closing with
an urgent, emphatic appeal to the citizens OF
the town to continue TO act well their part.
The grafton occupied about forty minutes
and was delivered without notes, rapidly
and in distinct and impressive
way that made every word and
thought tell. Following .the oration
was an intTesting sketch prepard
by II. b. Miller, ESQ. and read at his request
by Rev. p. A. Smith. After the sketch
centennial hymn, written by Rev. +. A.
Smith was sung by double quartette. The
exercises were interspersed with music by
Ingraham's Band.
After the close Of the literary exercises an
old fashioned game OF round ball was enjoy
ed by some OF the older citizens, and devel-
oped great deal OF sport. Fireworks and
salutes closed an enjoyable and eyentful day
for the town.

This house has been occupied by Mr..
Charles CT shing. for 80 years a member of
the shipbuilding firm of Briggs & Cushing,
for the last 40 years. 1t was built more than
100 years ago for DR.. Hyde. After that it be-
came the Jameson Tavern, and was one of
the stopping places on the famous stage
route between Bangor and Boston. In its
palmy days this old tavern was considered
the best inn east of Boston. Hundreds of
roof sheltered, and enough good old brandy
has been drank within its doors to float the
old house off the hill upon which it stands.
1t was later known as the Goldman House,
then as the Elm Tavern, Col. Cotton pro-
prietor.
In the front, northeast room in this his
toric old house the commissioners away
back in the year 1920 met and performed the
final act that set Maine off from the great
by itself. The old house has been somewhat
remodelled in late years and now looks very
much like much more modern structure
than 1t really is. 1t was beautifully decor
ated with bunting, flags and banners yester-
day in celebration of Freeport's grand gala
day Surely had the former tenants come
back just for view they would not have
recognized the ancient tavern of the good
old days. nor is it likely the old town would
have looked at all familiar to them in its
gala day dress and crowded streets.
AT the corner of Bow and Main streets
gorgeous triumphal arch was erected. A
huge framework of light timber was covered
with tri-colored bunting and flags. On top
of the arch two score flags waved in the
breeze and in the centre on either side of
shield was the inscription

The saw mill, grist mill and shoe factory
were handsomely adorned with bunting and

The Parade.
Early in the day preparation began for the
grand trades parade which was looked for

pieces; the Yarmouth Rifles, Capt. Merrill,
and the Yarmouth Band, "a pieces, Edward

MRS. MAVERICK GETS $1,000.
A Life Insurance Man Takes Pity on
the Widow.

New YORK, July 4.-President Edward B.
Harper of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
Association cabled yesterday to his European
agents to pay $1,000 to Mrs. Maybrick, the
American woman who is accused of having
poisoned her husband, although no proof Of
death has been received by the company. Mr..
Maybrick carried $4,000 insurance policy
in the Mutual Reserve company, $4,000 in
favor Of his wife and $1,000 in favor of his
brothers, and Mr.. Harper learning from the
press that Mrs. Maybrick's attorneys had
withdrawn from the case owing to her hav-
ing no money, sent the $1,000 in order that
she should have fair trial. His action In
the matter is the more significant since the
insurance payable to her will be void in case
of Mrs. Maybrlck's conviction.

FREEPoRT, July 4.-The probabilities
were threatening this morning, and. what
was worse the heavens seemed to back up
the probabilities. Yet on the whole the peo-
pie of Freeport had good day for their CEN
tennial celebration. The forenoon was
cloudy but cool and in the afternoon rain did
not begin to fall until most of the pro-
gramme had been finished. The programme
of the day properly began with the early sa-
lutes and the fantasies, but the military
and industrial parade was the real beginning
to the hundreds who came from the adjoining
towns. The early morning train from Port
land was crowded full although several extra
cars had been added. At Westbrook Junction
a large number from Saccarappa and Cumber-
land Mills including the band got aboard, at
Cumberland Junction there were more, at
Yarmouth Junction the Yarmouth Rifles and
band came with many citizens. Heavy
trains came also from Brunswick and Lew
iston. From Brunswick came Prof. Chap
man, poet of the recent centennial Of that
place, Selectman F. E. Roberts and number
of other citizens, including the Brunswick
vi OluU lux uuuttIol WuO Cdtut III u UOuy.
From Lewiston came the Nealley Rifles and
a large number of excursionists. The Port
lond Montgomery Guards, did not get
to the regular train on time, but
were forwarded by the Maine Central In
special train.
When all the trains had arrived the streets
of Freeport were alive with people. Proba-
bly, the town never had SO many people with
in its borders before unless on the days Of
some of the old launchings aud there is not
the least doubt that the streets and houses
looked more prosperous and gayer than ever
before. Freeport shows the result of years
of prosperity in neat streets and comfortable
residences. Today nearly every house was
decorated, some of them very beautifully.
Two houses of historic interest were especial
ly noticeable.
The old Sumner house that was built away,
back In the latter part of the 18th century by
a relative of the great Charles Sumner. was
handsomely decorated with flags and bunt.
ing Over the front door, in letters of gold,
was the following inscription:
