The Commodore Colt Estate.

Il no OOH"OuOI0 CO1L HBhdLcs
It Ia understood that the late Commo-
dore Cald we'll Hart Colt of Hartford died
without leaving a will and his large estate,
estimated ct from 81 900 900 to 81, 500, 600,
will go to his mother, Mrs Elizabeth Colt
of Hartford, next of kin.
TOLD OF THE LATE c. H. COLT.
The New York Mail and Express says:
The generosity of the late Csld we'll q. Colt
was known far and wide, but no better IL
lustrstion of Ii can be had than one that
was given the day before he was taken
sick. A darksy sent his name, badly writ
ten on the back of a playing card, to the
hotel in Punta Gords at which the late
commodore was stopping. The commo-
dore WAS away on his yacht fishing for tar
pom with Lieutenant William Hem and A.
F. Cammacho. That night the colorsd man
presented himself at the hotel and the COM
modore consented to see him, more for Gu
riosity than anything else.
Il have several big schemes to make
money" he said to the yachtsman, "but
haven't any money to put them through,
and thought that you might help me.
used to be drummer but had to give 1t
up because of sickness, and now my family
is actually starviug"
The commodore asked him what his
schemes we're, and his guest said:
"Well, one is an electric apparatus to
connect with q fishing line 80 that weary
fishermen may bs able to tell when there is
bite"
"Lszy hound" said the commodore,
quietly.
"Another scheme, +" continued the colored
ex-drummer, not Noticing the interruption,
sis for the capture of chsmeleons. They
bring big price in northern markets as
pets, and If had enough money to start I
could make fortune on those things alone.
Another scheme is for the sale of fish in
public streets My plan ia to get an aqua
rum on wheels fitted with heavy glass. and
after catching my fish I will put them in
the aquarium and those who want to buy
simply look through the glass, indicate
which fish they want and out she comes
with . net. Another scheme"
"Never mind" said the commodore. 81
have only $125 in cash about me just now,
but it's yours. Take it and real.zs on
some of your schemes. They are all good,
but I've come down here for q rest"
The commodore learned that night 1t was
an actual fact that the mans family of six
persons had not been fed for several days.

mr.. TFumbull,s siWhite Canoes
The London Saturday Review, one of
the leading English literary weeklies, makes
the following favorable comment on the
work of fellow townsman, in Its recent
issue of January 10, 1894: "'Ths White
Canoe by William Trumbull, illustrated
by F. V. du Aond (Putnam's Sons), is Q
poem based on an Indian legend, according
to which the fsirest girl of the tlibe was
sacrificed to the spirit of Niagara Falls, BY
drifting In q white birch-bark canoe over
the falls. In Mr.. Trumbulls poem the in
cident is vigorously portrayed. The beau
tiful Wenonsh IL NE tied in death with her
father, who at the critical moment sets

SUMMARY OF THE NEW HOUSES
AND NEW BLOCKS BUILT.

Few localities in the nation can make
better showing OF enterprise in the
midst of hard times than Portland and
the communities which cluster about
her, and which before many years will
help constitute the Greater Portland. A
million dollars have been devoted this
season to the building of new and beau
tiful blocks and homes. 1t IS record
the details of which are as fattering
to Portland as they are pleasing to her
citizens. The PRESS has taken pains
to collect and classify the details OF
these operations, and presents them be-
low.

ord for the Season-Two Hundred and

The building operations in Deering in

whose business is in Portland. The total
value OF these eighty new houses. Is not Tar
from
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

able and architecturally pleasing. Few
of them are expensive. the cost generally
ranging from $500 to $450O each. Ward
Four. the farther of the two WoodfoYds
wards, has the banner this year for the
greatest number of new buildings, while
Ward Five. the other Woodfords wasd,
comes next.

loan associations. which have lent money
