HAS LIVED A CENTURY.
Mrs. Margaret KiIIman of Prospect
One Hundred Years Old.

BANGOR. April 2-One hundred years ago
Mrs. Margaret Killman of Prospect first saw
the light of day. At this time this venerable
lady, surrounded by her children. her grand
children, great-grand children and great
great grandchildren, is celebrating in the
happiest manner the centennial anniversary
of her birth and within sight of the river up
on the banks of which she was born. Mrs
Killman is beyond doubt one of the oldest
people in New England and the oldest in
Maine, and her longevity is remarkable, for,
like many other hardy women of the Pine
Tree State, she did work enough before she
reached the age of 20 to have killed an ordi-
nary mortal.
Mrs. Killman comes of sturdy stock and
her people were nearly all long-lived. She
was the daughter Of John Heagan, who was
born on the lovely Arrowsic island, off tie
western coast of Maine. He was a man of
rare ability and energy and in early life he
came to the shores of the Penobscot and
settled IS miles below Bangor, in Prospect
Before his death he was one of the largest
land owners in eastern Maine and widely
known.
The large mountain on the right bank of
the Penobscot was one of the possessions of
this energetic old pioneer, aud was named
iOl uliI, htdRdn MI. ned8dn
was the father of five sons and three daugh-
ters, and all but one or two of them passed
four-scors years. Mrs. Killman is the last of
this famous family. Her brother, Gen. S. S.
Heagan, whoIwas ten:years younger, and the
most prominent of all the children, died
about two years ago at the age of SS years.
He was widely known, and held many State
offices during his life.
Margaret who is 100 years old today, was
married 80 years ago to Daniel Killman of
xxhn iAnx loft De-,
with him and his three brothers the very day
that the patriotic bean-eaters filled Boston
harbor full of tea. 1t would seem as if the
incident fully instilled courage and manliness
into the mind of Daniel, for Margaret Kill
man now draws $12 per month from the gov
ernment at Washington for the good services
of her husband in the war of 1872.
Three sens and three daughters of Mrs.
Killman's large family now survive, the old
est being daughter, who is rs years old.

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
Great solemnIty When the Queen OF
Madagascar Taxes a Saith.

The French papers report that the Queen
of Madagascar has Just taken bath. Per-
haps Americans win not at first quite realize
the solemnity and Importance OF this state
ment concerning the annual abolntlons Of
the Queen, which are the sensation Of the
year in that distant island. They celebrate
the occasion Of the Festival Of the Bath"
with the greatest pomp and seriousness. In
the days OF Louis XVI the favored Of the
multitude were permitted to come In and
gaze with delight upon His Most Christian
Majesty engaged in getting outside Of his
breakfast, and In the same manner Il Is only
the Madagascar 400 which Is permitted 10
assist in this great festival Of cleanliness.
Besides these, the privileged spectators con-
sist OF the foreign ministers, her own highest
officials only, and the princes Of the blood.
The prime minister and French resident
alone are allowed to be seated during this
august ceremony. The Queen herself Is
clothed all in scarlet and seated upon a red
velvet throne; a corner Of the room Is rallied
off with red curtains, and behind this Is
rolled great bath tub on wheels. A solemn
procession files through, bearing the water
for the bath. materials for the FIRE 10 heat 10.
made directly under the bat htub itself, the
towels, soap, perfume and various toilet az
purtenances. As soon as the water Is sum
cIently heated the fire Is put out, prayers are
said and hymn sung imploring that the
Queen suffer no harm from her daring act,
and then, as she disappears behind the cur
tain. a salvO Of artillery Is hred and the
drums beat 10 annOunae 20 the excited mul
titudes outside that the important part OF the
ceremony Is taking place. Al the end OF

THE SENATE ADJOURNS SINE DIE

Important offices Which Have No,

John BrIght's Memory Raises a
Question OF Precedent.

WASHINGTON. April 2.-The special ses-
81 on Of the Senate which ended today has
been of exactly the same length as the one
convened by President Arthur to receive
President Cleyeland's nomination. Presi.
dent Harrison has sent in about $50 nomina-
tions since the fifth of March, all Of which
with few exceptions, have been reported
from committees and have been confirmed.
OF the offices yet to be filed, the most i'm
portant are those of commissioner of the
general land Office and public printer. 1t is
believed that they will be filed within few
days Editor Osborne of the Los Angeles

selected for public printer, but no satisfac-
torn guess can be made as to the land CON-
missioner. 1t is the general opinion that w.
M. Meredith of Chicago, who was supposed
to be the coming man for public printer, will
succeed L. .. Graves as superintendent of
the bureau of engraving and printing. Most

pite from public cares for season, having

INJURED IN A SOLDIERS FRoLIO.
His Comrades Threw zimmerman
Down, Breaking His Bones.
Now His Claim for a Pension Has
Been Allowed.
How Pensions will be Paid in Cases
of Death.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey of the Interior Department has
rendered decision in the zimmerman pen-
sion case. zimmerman was soldier in
regiment of Ohio volunteers. One day in
1868 he was standing in front of his tent
Several men were engaged in general frolic
near by, and one of them came up to Am
norman and engaged him in conversation
While his attention was thus attracted an
other kneeled down behind him, and his
comrade pushed the soldier backward. Am
norman broke several bones around his
shoulders, and has since suffered greatly
from his injuries. His claim was rejected.
The case was appealed. and Assistant Secre-
tary Hawkins, after hearing the arguments,
decided in June, 1886, that the rejection by
the Commissioner of Pensions should stand.
The case was entered in the bureaus book
leading the cases exemplifying the principle
that 'the pr0ximate cause of injury must
have direct connection with the service
and line of duty in order to give title to
pension" As zimmerman was not engaged
in play himself, and not in any way trans
crossing any ordinary rules of camp life, he
still claimed his case was govd. Assistant
Secretary Bussey reversed the ruling and or
dered the claim of zimmerman admitted.
His position was that the claimants injury
was connected with his military service, and
that service had placed him in a position
where, without fault ON his part, he receiv-
ed hurt. zimmerman, it is said, will now
receive a large sum of arrears of pension.
Upon the precedent established will depend
a number of similar rejected cases.
Commissioner Tanner of the pension
bureau, with the approval of the Secretary of
the Interior, has issued the following ruling:
Whenever a pension certificate of any charac-
ter, original, Increase, restoration, arrears or
otherwise, shall have been issued by this bureau
and the beneficiary mentioned found TO have died
before payment the amount due to the date of
death will be paid to the widow OF the pensioner,
and If he leaves no widow, 10 the minor child or
children. If there is neither widow nor minor
children, the amount due will, in the discretion
of the Secretary of the Interior, be paid to the
executor or administrator of the estate.

Foreign Note s.
THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.
Great interest Shown Throuehout
the State.

The proposed industrial exhibition to be
given in Portland causes wide spread Interest
throughout the State as we'll as in some Of
the adjoining States, as indicated in letters
received here by several Of our business
men, several of the letters coming from Bos-
ton.
The following letter from very intelli-
gent and well posted correspondent received
last evening by the Secretary Of the Board Of
Trade, no doubt voices the general septi-
ment Of the people of the State, and must be
reassuring to the Board Of Manufactures
that the project of their exhibition is a
popular one with the people and that the
affair cannot fail to be brilliant success:
FoxcRoFT, March 80, 1889.
M. N. Rich, Esq. Secretary Portland Board OF
The movement which you are making for an In
dustrial exhibition in Portland is very import ant
matter for the entire State. If made perInan ent
would be very great. This hope will be done as
the interest In II would Increase from year to
year. NO one who has not had my chances of
observation and study can fully realize the extent
OF our State industries at the present time and
what brilliant outlook there Is for rapid in
crease In the near future. An Industrial exhibit
ton lnaugurated ON the proper scale may be
made equally popular with our State fairs and
even more so Ii can be made 10 pay. The peo-
pie OF Maine now more fully realize than ever be-
fore that in order to be happy and prosperous we
must improve and develope all of the advantages
and resources which we possess. The building of
the new Canadian Pacific line opens up a vast
new territory to Improvement and development
and It now looks as II the direct AroOst0ok lice
and the shore line from Hancock to Calais would
soon be built. he building OF these will call for
the building Of other short lines, and good ship
ping facilities from all parts of the State will soon
be provided for. The time is now ripe for Maine
TO take advantage OF the opportunities now open
ing TO her, and one great thing 10 educate the
people Is this industrial exhibition which the
Portland people are now taking hold of so yigor-
ously i shall be pleased to cooperate in any
way and hope that those who have the manage
ment Of this new enterprise will build large
enough to contain what may be offered and make
1t permanent. This Is a progressive age and
whatever will aid the development Of our material
interests will have the sympathy of the people OF
the whole State.
We have now numerous industries growing out
OF the inventive genius of Maine people and am
surprised every day how rapidly these are grow
Ing. The patented articles which we now max e
are very many, and valuable new inventions
come under my observation every day. Maine
mechanics are full OF genius and are Constantly
devsing new and valuable.methOds for cheapen.
ing production, and this fact is giving us very ex-
tenslve markets. For showing all these great facts
tne industrial exhibition will be very valuable.
Very truly yours, V.D.
