three years. Not content with this
honor, he ran for Congress ON the Demo-
cratic ticket and was elected in 1912, re-
elected in 1914, and four years after WAS

In 1850, when Lincoln was elected

Els Club in Bangor.
BANGOR, Me-, July 6.-The deepest grief
is felt ON all sides for the loss of Bangor's
foremost citizen. ex-Vice-President Han
nibal Hamlin, who was stricken with
heart failure about 6 o'clock Saturday
evening, willis at the Tarrantine Club,
and died three hours later.
He was engaged In q game of Pedro
with three Of his intimate friends, when
one of them, Philo Strickland, noticed
that Mr.. Hamlin appeared unwell, and
asked him il such were not the case. Mr..
Ramlin replied that he was feeling very
badly and leaned forward ON the table.
He was removed to a lounge and asked
to be bolstered up. In short time he
became unconscious. Drs. Mason, Rob-
inson and Phillips were called, and
everything was done to restore the
stricken man. He recovered conscious
ness at intervals. Five minutes before
he died the physicians and attend
ants thought he was little improved.
He remarked to the physicians:
81 am very warm"
The physicians replied that they were
trying to make him comfortable.
'sBut you are making me very uncom-
forLable," answered Mr.. Hamlin, and
five minutes later he expired.
Mr.. Hamlin's wife, his son, General
Charles Hamlin, and wife, and their son
were present when he died. Mr.. Ham
Inns death is talked of everywhere, and
the greatest sympathy is expressed by
everybody in the city, where he was
loved by all. His health of late has
fallen somewhat, but he has been about
as usual.
The rem .ins were removed from the
club rooms to his late residence on Fifth
| street. No definite arrangements have
| yet been made for the funeral.

"Off with his head y said the Chinese
government when one of its diplomatic
corps had been found swindling and de-
frauding tradespeople in Paris, and
banking on the fact that he was an Off
cial representative of his country, and SO
poor Tcheng-Ki-Tong suffered tie ex-
IRENE penalty because he did not pay
his debts. And yet we call the Chinese
half civilized nation Suppose all the
high officials among western nations
who do not pay their debts had to have
their heads cut off ! What a brisk ex-
animation business the civil service
commissions would have on their hands.
The Guion steamship Wyoming ar
rived in New York last week, having
made a phenomenally fast voyage for
one of the old-fashioned 'liners," from
Liverpool to New York, in about nine
days, without stopping at Queenstown.
The latter fact was advertised by her
owners, previous to her sailing from
Liverpool; and the secret of it was that
the vessel was laden with a big cargo of
tin plates, which, if they could be got
into New York before the 1st of July,
could be entered at the custom house
under the old tariff, and thus escape
the Mckinley raise of two and hall
cents pound which went into effect
on the 1st instant. The steamship Qike
a good racer pushed to its utmost speed,
answered the demand made on her, and
got here in time; but the gain thus
made will be to the shippers and i'm
porters, and will not rebound a single
cent to our people, who will have tc
pay the market price for this tin, with
two and half cents added on to it by
the enterprise of the Liverpool mer
chants-with the aid of Mr. McKinley'I
tariff. 1t is a beautiful illustration o.
