about 60 years Of age. He went to sea when
nine years of age, and has followed 1t stead

vessel, the schooner Messenger, which halls

built In Bath, in 1881, and in her he per-
formed many voyages to the West Indies.
During his long career afloat he never lost
man, never had a man die at sea, never lost
q spar or sail, and never called upon the un-
derwrlters for cent. He is now on the
lookout for another vessel, for he does not
feel at home with the ground under his feet.
bis health has always been excellent; he
stands about six feet high, weighs over 200
pounds, Is well proportioned from the head
to the heels: his face is open and manly, but
permanently bronzed by exposure, his eyes are
full. with keen sight. his hair is iron gray
and his teeth firm enough to crack biscuit
When ashore his home is in Biddeford. He
lives In the house in which he was born, and
says when he slips his moorings he has a
snug place In which to take an everlasting

Mr.. Boynton gave orders for the immedi-

Mr.. Bates did graceful thing In calling
upon Count Herbert Bismarck as soon as he
reached Berlin, and explaining that his re-
cent article concerning Samoa which
appeared in the CentHry Magazine was
written before his appointment to be
delegate to the conference. Mr.. Bates fur
ther said that upon receiving the appoint
ment he attempted in vain to recover the
manuscript of his paper. The editors refused
to return the article, under the technical
condition that 1t had already been stereo-
typed, condition under which they were
warranted in holding the article as their
own. Mr.. Bates, moreover, assured Count
Bismarck OF his earnest good will towards
Germany, and of his high appreciation Of
the debt which America owes to Germany
This explanation was at Mr.. Bates's request
published in all the newspapers.
Comments of course are freely made upon
the demands which Mr.. Blaine may deem
wise to advise. The Germans however seem
to feel assured that Bismarck and not Mr..
Blaine will dictate the final settlement. A
kind OF unreasoning faith, not to be explain
ed, seems to peryade the political atmosphere
that Bismarck will in some way attain the
ill-concealed desire that Samoa shall fall, as
another possible colony, under the influence
of Germany.

General Orders, No. A.
The approach of Memorial Day summons us to
the preparation for its proper observance. The
Comradeship and the Regulations of our Order
impose upon us the grateful and sacred duty of
commemorating the memory of our departed com
rades-those VINO laid down their lives during the
war and those who have since gone TO rest In sol
diers' graves.
Let the beautiful flowers of spring and the flag
for which they fought so well and under which so
many heroically died, mark their graves, and pa
triotic words in speech and verse celebrate their
deeds and memory. Let us strive TO make our
services both commemorative and instructive,
seeking alike to do honor to the memory OF our
noble dead and to teach that patriotism which
deeds which render them Immortal and win for
ever entite them to the highest hcnors from their
grateful countrymen.
To this end, ii possible, let every Post arrange
for fitting services both on Sunday preceding and
on Memorial Day. tits recommended that Posts
invite the Relief Corps and the Sons of Veterans,
where these noble organizations exist AL patriotic
citizens and the school children to attend and
participate in the services Of Memorial Day. This
Is our special day and opportunity TO teach the
children the great lesson of loyalty to duty TO
country which our fallen comrades so grandly IL
lustrated In every way possible let the day be
wholly consecrated to sacred memories and patri-
otto duties. Let the ordinary holiday sports be
discouraged. The fact that Memorial Day was
established to commemorate the memory of more
than three hundred thousand loyal men who died
that the nation might live ought TO sober every
citizen and ensure its grateful observance by all
But whatever others may do, let no c0mrade OF
the Grand Army in this department countenance
any Dissertation of this day, but every one OBJ
serve il in the spirit in which it was established.
