might be expected, with his ability in Sc
Letting and his skill in breeding and fit

other individual in America, and his
sales from 1880 to 1896 amounted to more
than one million of dollars. the animals
sold going into nearly every northern.
western and southwestern state and all
the territories. The State Of Maine is
greatly indebted to Hall e. Burleigh for
the healthy condition of its herds. At
that fearful outbreak Of disease at Orono.
he took a decided stand that the disease
must be stamped out let the cost be
what it would. He spent hundreds and
hundreds of dollars and months OF valuable
time to carry forward the grand work.
In referring to it he says, Had it not
been for the assistance of Gov. Bodwcll,
Dr. G. II. Bailey, Hon. II. NJ Heath, and
those noble men of the legislative com
mittec who stood by US, our herds would
be in deplorable condition now"
1t is safe to say that Mr. Burleigh has
done as much as any other man to bring
the State of Maine prominently before
the people of North America and the
British Isles.
Besides attending to a very large per
sonal business Mr.. Burleigh has served
the public acceptably in various capaci-
ties. He was a member of the board of
selectmen and assessors of Fairfield from
1877 to 1880.
He represented the town of Vassalboro
in the Legislature of 1889 and 1880. In
1891 he was appointed by Governor Bur
leigh member of the Worlds Fair com
mission of Maine and upon the organiza-
ton of that body was chosen president
Here he worked with untiring zeal to
make Names part in the great exhibi-
ton a success.
In March 1892, he was appointed a
member of the board of State assessors
to which position he was elected by the
Legislature of 1898, and also reelected by
reclamation for another term OF six years
by the Legislature of 1895.
Mr.. Burleigh has clear ideas and great
Judgment as to values of property of
nearly every kind. He is man OF strong
convictions, and has long made study OF
the subject of taxation in his own and
other countries and for this reason is
cmincntly qualified to do good service for
his State in this capacity.
In politics Mr.. Burleigh has always
been Republican Of the firmest type.
He is a member of Neguemkeag Lodge,
+. and A. NJ. and Dunlap r. a. c., and
has been % member of the Patrons OF
Husbandry since 1875.

BOARD OF STATE ASSESSORS.
Briei History Of the Board and the Men Who
Compose II.


The board of State assessors will have
been in existence next April but four
wears and yet within that time it has ac-
ouired an Importance in the State govern
ment beyond what was generally expected
at the time the Legislature provided for
its organization Much information has
lie N af dcd the lawmakers through the
medium of this board, and its suggestions
and recommendations in relation to the
taxation of vessel property, valuation of
wild lands, and the collateral inheritance
law are now under consideration by this
Legislature. Its work since first organized
has been systematic and the information
it has secured in relation to the taxable
property and conditions governing the
same in this State has proved of great
value. In this connection glance at the
personnel of the board since its first or
ganzation will be of interest.
The first organization of the board of
State assessors in April 1891, consisted
of Hon. 3. f. Chadbourne of Biddeford :;
Hon Frank Gilman of Bangor and Hon.
Otis Hayford. Under the law Mr. Chad
bourne became the chairman for two years
Previous to the expiration of his term Of
office, Mr.. Chadbourne resigned to accept
a position on the board of railroad com
mssioners, to which he had been APP
pointed by Gov. Burleigh and although
was not accepted until after the annual
report Of State assessors for the year 1899
had been properly made and accepted by
the Governor and Council. Hon. Frank
Gilman came to "a sudden, sad and untimely
death before he had served one full year
on this board. Hon. II. G. Burleigh vas
Apo ntcd to serve out his term. Hon.
George Pottle succeeded Mr.. Chadbourne.
This Legislature re- elected Mr.. Burleigh.
While the labors of this board, III the first
years of its existence, were many and
arduous, especially 50 when systematizing
the work and introducing all the forms
and blanks for obtaining new and valu-
able information, yet subsequent legisla-
tive cnactments have added much to
the duties and many and grave responsible
tiles have been thus placed upon this
board.
But few can fully appreciate the great
amount of labor annually performed by
this hoard. without free access to their
book and extended inspection OF their
work

TO FRIENDS ABROAD.

The Republic Of Hawaii was as
saulted early this month by place
hunters of the Old regime OF the
throne. The intention was to Gust
the present Government and restore
Liliuokalani. The revolt was very
promptly suppressed. Attorney
Chas. l.. Carter, volunteer was
killed, an army officer was
wounded and number of rebels
lost their lives. But two OF theii
bodies were found and buried.
The insurgents were encourage
to rise by the belief that the Presi
dent of the United States was
friendly to them. Mr.. CLEVELAND
had said in a letter to the eX
Queens Commission last summe'
that he could do nothing for thei'
cause. Nevertheless some OF the
discounted have thought the eX
ruler had private assurance iron
the White House. After the mon
archy was put aside in 1898 Mr.
Cleveland thought at one time t.
restore it.

Punished II You Fight and Disgraced II
You Refuse to Fight.
Dueling is the leading and almost the
only athletic sport in Italy. 1t is true
that there is an Alpine club, so called be-
cause its members climb the lesser heights
of the Apennines, but there is no cricket,
and except among the laboring classes ball
games of even the mildest character are
hardly ever played. The young Italian
gentleman finds in dueling an exercise
which Is beneficial to his muscles and suf-
ficiently exciting to interest him, and the
middle aged Italian keeps up his practice
with the foils and occasionally challenges
and fights friend just to show that he is
not too old to have lost genial interest in
the innocent pursuits of youth.
Dueling Is contrary to law in Italy, but
the duelist is never punished (unless he
should accidentally kill a mGn) except In
the army, where the sport Is obligatory and
strictly prohibited. The same curious
anomaly exists in Germany, where army
officers are arrested and punished if they
fight duel and either cashiered or force I
to resign II they do not. The Italian officer
when challenged to fight is virtually told,

AT least ninety-n nine Of every hundred
italian duels are Of the class technically
known as first blood" duels. That is to
say, the combat ceases the moment either
Of the adversaries loses blood. In these
duels the sword is always used, and the
slightest scratch on the hand or the arm

thorizes the duelists to sheathe their weap-
ons and go somewhere to dinner together
Instances have happened in which duel

body and killed, but incidents of this sort
are extremely infrequent compared with
the fatalities of the football field. Italian
dueling is probably the safest of all ath-
letic sports, except prizefighting as prac-
ticed by modern pugilists by means Of let
