The Definition of a Maverick.

The Lynn, Mass, Transcript recently
printed a story of a Maverick. and tells It's
readers who wish to refresh their memory as
to the meaning of the word, that they will
look for it in vain in any but a very late un-
abridged dictionary The word is not found
even in the supplement of very few years
ago. But in Websters last edition, The In
ternatonal, the following is the definition:
Mdrerick. ~. In the southwestern part of
the United States, a bullock or heifer that
has not been branded, and is unclaimed or
wild said to be from Maue7ick, the name
of a cattle owner in Texas who neglected to
brand his cattle.
In the international Cyclopedia under the
head of Maverick, is the following:
Maverick a CO. in $. w. Texas, 1900 square
miles; pop. in 80, 1867, [etc., etc. :. . Chief
town, Eagle Pass.
Maverick county is named for the cattle
owner referred to in the definition from
Webster, which definition is correct in all
except the last clause. So far from neglect
ing to brand his own cattle Mr.. Maverick
largely increased his herds by placing his
brand upon all unbranded cattle he came
across. At least, that is the understanding
the writer had of the matter when in Texas
in the SOS.

The journal presents its readers with a
cut of the new hotel now in process OF erec-
ton at Seal Harbor, Mount Desert, owned
by Mr.. Amos Clement, of Belfast, and his
brother, Mr.. j. Clement of Seal Harbor.
Seal Harbor is one of the pretty indenta-
tions ON the coast of the famous Mount De-
sert Island, between South West and Bar
Harbors, being eight miles south Of the lat
ter place. While Seal Harbor is delight
full place in itself, it is within easy reach of
all points of interest on the island. There
are many charming walks and drives, and
delightful sailing and boating. Summer
visitors began to come to Seal Harbor eigh-
teen years ago, and the Clement homestead
was their stopping place, one of the first
seasons guests coming each consecutive
year except one season spent in Europe.
Each year their number has steadily in
creased, until last season for several weeks
over one hundred guests were enjoying the
hosptalities of the Seaside Inn filling it to

and IA tire-places in the whole house. The
full length of piazza is go feet, a good part
of it being Is feet wide. A separate build
ing was erected last year for dancing and
entertainments. The house is to have bath
rooms on second and third floors, and elec-
trio bells throughout. The finish is all nat
ural wood inside, and the outside is shin
gled above piazza and stained old grey.
The architect is John IS. Clark, of Bar
Harbor, and the contractors are B. W. Can
dage & Son, of Seal Harbor. r. ?. Stickney,
of Belfast, is to do the plumbing. In the
construction of this house the aim of the
Messrs. Clement is to provide their guests
with the comforts and pleasures Of home
combining as far as possible the charms of
the old Seaside with the conveniences of a
modern house.
The above cut was made from pen and
ink sketch by P. A. Sanborn, of Belfast. In
appearance the building has not superior

its utmost capacity. The house has been
enlarged and improved each year as the
business has increased. Eight years ago a
new building containing forty rooms was
built, connecting with the homestead. Even
with this addition during the last, three
years many applicants for rooms have been
turned away. Last fall it was decided to
enlarge. The homestead was moved a short
distance away and new building begun ON
its site-the birthplace of it's Iropretors-
and joined to the building erected eight
years ago. 1t will be completed in time for
this seasons business. There are 80 sleep
ing rooms in the hotel and fifteen in the
homestead, beside six rooms in the Shore
Cottage, furnishing accommodations for $50
to 175 guests. The new building is 80 feet
long, So feet wide, with wing 40x40 feet,
and an ell 37X 27 feet, for extension to dining
room, which is 37x64 feet. The reception
room is 25x39 feet, office 26x37 feet, and read
ing room 15x24 feet.

A Coal Mine in Greenfield.

The Bangor News reports that Decatur
Madden, ST., of Greenfield, in digging well
last fall near his kitchen door struck black
substance resembling coal He threw a
piece on the kitchen fire, and it seemed to
burn like coal. A sample sent tc the Maine
State College brought the reply that it was
a fair specimen of American graphite and
its best use might possibly be to make stove
polish. Some time after this Mr.. Madden
went to Belfast and met spiritual medium
Somehow in the course of the conversation,
the medium told Mr. Madden that he had a
coal mine on his farm This at once revived
his old hopes and he posted back to Green
field and opened up the we'll and dug ont
some more samples and sent them around
to various prominent men throughout the
State. Some Bangor men pronounced it a
grade of coal, and it is said they are now ne
gotiating for the purchase of Mr.. Madden s
homestead with a view to developing the
coal mine.

that MI. Payson Tucker, who was a dele

tempt to convert the Democratic party in

door of it's national conventions to all other
candidates for the highest honor it has TO
bestowed upon deserving aspirants, meets
with his most emphatic disapproval, as
being calculated to lead only to party dis

The Ice Crop.

Ice harvesting for this winter on the Hud

is estimated at about three-fourths of what
is stored away III season when all the ice
that is wanted can be secured. At any rate
there will be enough to meet the demand
for next summer, though no one will be sur
prsed at a stiffening of prices on account of
the alleged shortness of the supply.

POLITICAL POINTS. The second an
nual dinner of the Young MEMS Demo-
cratic Club was held March at the I'reble
House, Portland, nearly 200 being present,
including many representative men of the
party in Portland and the State. The
election of John b. Redman as president
of the Democratic Club organized in Ellis
worth, has stirred up great feeling in
the Democratic ranks in that vicinity,
and some of the influential men of the
party propose to form another club. ....
The State Democratic Committee met in
Augusta March 2. All but two counties
were represented. The novel method
was proposed of choosing delegates at
large to the National convention in the
district conventions and not holding a
State convention for the nomination of
Governor till after the National conven-
ton. There was much discussion of this
method. Finally it came to vote and
the old method was retained. The date
OF the State convention for choosing del
egates at large and candidate for Gov
ernor, will be June Sth, at Bangor.

There is a striking contrast in
the way the people stood by a
Governor from the ranks of our
political enemies, and the way in
which our political enemies stand
by a Governor of the people.
When Governor Hampton was
elected ali held up his hands and
endeavored to make his government
a success, the people even paid
their taxes when there was no law
compelling them, to an agent of the
government. On the contrary there
are so-called Democrats who have

criticize the administration, and
to throw obstacles in the way of
it's success. The Railroad Com
panies have endeavored to cripple
the government by refusing to pay
taxes, and the attempt has been
made to pay for State property
with fraudulent bonds
THE REFORM MOVEMENT is STRONG.
The Reform movement IS
stronger than it was in 1890, and
it's advocates are more determined
to carry out its principles. The
people are not deceived by their
talk ofunity, and abuse of Tillman
by the opposition. The opposition
are not after preserving poacer.
The people are educated on
political matters; they have
experienced the pleasure of taking
part in the government. and
electing their public servants, and
they will not soon surrender these
rights to any set of men to act for
them. The people have for the
first time in the history of our
government deliberately made up
their minds to exercise the right
to select their officials, and ring
rule is at least for the present,
destroyed.
