A State Board of Trade was successfully
organized in this city at Reception Hall,
City Building yesterday afternoon. At 23O
D. M, the delegates present, were called to
order by Mr.. NJ. N. Rich, secretary of, and a
delegate from the Portland Board of
Trade.
Mr.. Rich prefaced the official doings of the
meetings of the meeting by saying that it
was matter of qualification to see the pros
perity that Maine has attained Within two
or three years there has been great increase
of business. Mr.. Rich showed how in the
present the interior of the State has deyel-
oped Its business facilities. the lake regions
have been patronlzed and the
Aroostook region has grown. With
in year there have been IL
Boards Of Trade established in Maine, which
means the building up of the localities where
they belong, the keeping of the
young men at home, and the use Of money by
capitalists in these places instead of their
sending it out of this State. The formation
of this State Board will also be the means of
the formation of more boards of trade in
other places in Maine who in time will build
up their own localities. We want to stop
the flow Of capital out Of the State, and we
want to let our own people know what ~, we
can produce and teach Their 10 90 patronize
each other in.ssassrsd Of going out of the State
to buy what they want He then read an ex-
tract from the Industrial Journal relating to
this subject.

delegates chose Mr.. John f. Stearns of Saco,
who was escorted to the platform by Vice
President Winslow Of the Portland Board of
Trad amidst much applause.
Mr.. Stearns thanked the convention for
the honor and said he was ready to proceed
with the business.
Mr.. NJ N. Rich. secretary of the Portland
Board of Trade, was elected secretary of the
convention.

Mother of Her Country.
George Washington was once a re-
jected lover. The fact is testified to
by his own hand in letter given to
the world a few years ago by General
Fitzhugh Lee. General Lee, writing
to the editor of Virginia paper about
the matter, said: .' 49,

months old, and is represented by all
historians and biographers as a quiet,

this day, that particular kind OF young
men always did the most counting"
Washington's letter inclosed is as
follows:

whether the anecdotists have recorded

him guilty by seven votes to five. and
and sentence of death was passed in
the usual form. When, however, the
convict's advocate came to examine the
record of the verdict as written down
by the foreman of the jury, he found
that by a slip, the word ''stuuden" had
been accidentally substituted in place
of ''stimmen" by which it appeared
that the murderer had been found
guilty by "seven hours" instead of
"seven votes" OF course an appeal
was Immediately lodged; and the I'm

to make sense of the record, ordered
