GEORGE F. STACEY.

Meath of a Great Maine Politician-rt
Happened suddenly Last Week at STAN
ford. Wis Family Reside in This
Citv-Funeral Yesterday at Kezar Falls.
The news came to this city last Tues
day of the death of the Hon. George G..
Stacey, who was formerly man of un--
usual prominence in this State. Born at
Kezar Falls 81 years ago, one of d family
of IL children, he grew up, studied law
and exhibited an unusual aptitude for
politics. In 1859, at the age of 80 years,
he was elected to the State Legislature.
He afterwards served as State librarian
for 7 ~ years, was deputy secretary of
state for four years and secretary of
state for four years.
Mr. Stacey's family now live in this
city. His wife, his daughter, Mrs. Yves.
ley A. Leighton, and his son, Mr.. Oscar
Stacey, all live in the same house.
Mr.. Stacey has been sojourning in the
Catskills for his health, he having re-
ceived shock some time ago and hay
ing been an invalid for some years. ...,
lie died at the summer home of ]. j.

Seconds Dr.. Blanchard's Protest.

To the Editor of tie Press:
DE-. Blanchard's timely and vigorous
protest in the PRESS against the en-
croachments and ill manners Of smokers
in our public conveyances must find a
response in many minds. 1t has seemed
to one this summer that this nuisance
was never SO marked before as at pres
emit. Seeing so much of it one begins to
question whether man bids farewell to
all good manners when he becomes a
smoker or whether gentleman, if he
be a smoker, does not refrain entirely
from his indulgence in public convey
ances. After several weeks of observa-
tion have not decided the question, but
/ have yet, to observe case where the
presence of ladies or non-smokers has
modified the action Of any smoker at
least in the direction of restraint.
On a l. Is train to Old Orchard recent
ly found passenger coach partly
filled, including several ladies. At Rig
by it was invaded by party of men
who turned the car into a smoker with
sout interference of any kind on the part
OF the trainmen,
On a recent trip to Mount Desert on
the steamer Frank Jones l found the
smokers had full sway on every deck
and open space outside the saloons.
Once / was driven to change of seat
by party who crowded into space
near him and smoked uuconcernedly in
his face, l saw the same thing done
at the expense of lady near him. /
have seen much of the same thing this
summer on the island boats.
Why will not the managers of orr
transportation companies show the non
smokers some regard? Why not have
some outdoor space on steamers at this
season of the year where smoking is pro-
hibited?
On our railroads smokers seem to have
enough regard shown them when many
of them are allowed to retain by their
baggage the best seats in the passenger
coaches and spend quite portion Of
their time in the smoking car. Why not
have some regard for others?
p e Yours truly, n
- E. NJ. c.

Would Repair Sufficiently to Take Her
to G1oucester-No Tug Would Attempt
It.
Saturday night the Abbie M. Deering,
the fishing schooner wrecked on Rich
mond's Island, was taken off the Marine
Railway and towed across into the dock
between Custom House wharf and Port
land pier.
She had been repaired but $50 worth,
which involved simply the stopping of
the leak with canvas. The insurance
man who came down here from Glouces-
ter and took charge of her insisted upon
this makeshift repairing, intending to
have the thorough work done at Glouces-
ter. He was told at the Marine Railway
that the damaged portion of her hull
ought to be replanked and caulked be-
fore she could be towed to Gloucester,
but he was obstinate, insisting that he
should not expend more than $50 for re-
pairs here and that he'd risk her being
towed to Gloucester under those circum-
stances.
He desired to start for Gloucester early
yesterday morning, but could not get
any tug to undertake the hazardous jour-
ney.
AT high tide yesterday afternoon she
had leaked so much and settled so that
the surface of the water was almost on
the level of her deck. One man predict
ed that she would sink right there in the
dock and said that the insurance mans
obstinacy would probably cost $500.
Last evening she was again taken to
the M arine Railway, after nearly sinking
in theedock. Probably at low tide the
canvas patch was rubbed off somewhat
on the bottom of the dock.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Circus Clown.

Messrs. Richards and Garfield drew "a
large audience to Portland theatre Satur-
day evening to witness those two laughable
comedians in their new piece, "A Circus
Clown As can readily be- imagined the
play deals with the sawdust and number Of
supposed circus performers are introduced
who go through with their specialties. The
piece ran very smoothly for the few times
it has been presented. 1t will bear consider
able pruning, but even in its present state
it brought forth roars Of laughter and ap-
plause. The quartette singing was encored.
and the professor, his dog and monkey were
called out again and again.
Old jed Prouty.
Richard Golden in his we'll known
characterization of Old Jed Prouty, will be
the attraction at the Portland theatre next
Friday and Saturday evenings. Golden's
impersonation of the old Bucksportonian is
farniliar9t to theatre geeTs.z His management
have displayed wisdom In again placing him
before the public in his old role, supported
by many of the original. company, for the
thcatre-going public display much more in
terest in what they know is good than in
what they have to take chance on. The
sale of seats will begin at the box office this
morning.

retained from last season being the title.
The scenes of the play are laid in new spots,
not one of last years company is now con-
nected with it, aud every specially is con-
sequently new. Miss Florrie West, the Eng
lish Coincidence, is at the head of the cast.

pany's engagement at the Portland theatre.

CHINESE CONSERVATIVES.
The Mongolians Speedily succumb to the
Dread Disease.

The MongOlians Speedily Succumb to the
Dread Disease.
That there is a large Chinese popula-
tion in Boston is well known, and yet
it is seldom that one hears of death
in the Chinese quarter. The proper
ton of Chinese residents, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, is small as compared
with those of other nationalities, and
there is no way to tell the exact num-
Der of deaths among them, as they are
recorded by the city officials under the
head of miscellaneous nationalities.
Inquiry reveals the fact that Cinnamon
in nearly every case die of consump-
tion. They are i'll, as rule, but a
short time. In their native country
their principal diet is rice, which, from
its healthfu1ness, tends to lengthen
life. When they begin business here
all their habits change. They work
early and late, seldom leaving their
shops, and as they succeed they begin
to eat American food. 1t is remarked by
all with whom they have dealings that
they always buy the best the markets
afford. 1t is their custom o'work un-
til midnight or after and then enjoy a
hearty meal. If they are well to do
they are certain to have chickens and
whatever fruit can be procured, no
matter how expensive it may be. If
they have just started in the laundry
business it is quite likely that they
will form a company and adjourn to
the nearest might lunch wagon or
restaurant.
Living, as most of them do, in such
small rooms, when sickness overtakes
them they cannot receive proper care
and they are carried to the hospitals.

HoRBEs AND GEOMETRY.
How He Happened to Fall in Love with
Invent to Oxford.

How He Happened to Fall in Love with
Invent to Oxford.
Hobbies got his Latin and Greek at
Malmesbury from young scholar
named Richard Latymer, newly come
from the university doubtless meaning
Oxford, and, as was then common, he
acquired by exclusive attention to those
languages facility in them which now
seems not only precocious but almost
monstrous, says the National Review.
1T is not to be forgotten" says Aubrey,
that before he went to the university
he had turned Euripidis Medea out of
Greek into Latin iambiques, which he
presented to his master" We need not
regret that this performance is not pre-
served, for Hobbies, though ready
enough in handling both Greek and
Latin, does not appear to have been a
fine or accurate scholar.
Hobbies was not yet fifteen when he
went to Oxford. He did not care much
for logic, yet he learned it and thought
himself a good disputant. There is no
reason to think he learned anything
else at Oxford save a strong dislike of
academic institutions and methods. He
turned from the official studies to
amuse himself with geography and
voyages. AS to mathematics, there
was no official recognition of them at
all while Hobbies was at the university.
So there is nothing improbable in the
statement that Hobbies had never
opened copy of Euclid until he was
near middle age. The story is best told
in Aubrey's own words:
HE was forty years old before he
looked on geometry, which happened
accidentally, being in a gentleman's
library, 'Euclid's Elements lay open
and it was the 47th Prob, Lib. 1. So
he reads the proposition. 'By-!' says
he; this is impossible So he reads the
demonstration of it, which referred
him back to another, which he also
read, 'et sic deinceps,' that at last he
was demonstratively convinced of that
truth. This made him in love with
geometry

wasted Forests.

Reckless waste is the thing that
shocks the beholder in the Adirondack
forests. 1t is partly the reckless waste
of men, partly that of prodigal nature.
Trees cut down are left to rot, corded
wood neglected for years, large pines
felled and burned where they lay for
hunters fires, all proclaim the waste
fulness of the human denizen or Wis
itor. Every forest, even close up on
the edge of civilization, is a tangle of
fallen trunks. blown or rotted down.
They lie in every direction, some still
intact for their whole length. others
mingled with the soil, buried in leaves
and vegetation.
