Entertainers in the Pine Tree State Dropped
Into Song 10 Entertain Visiting Legislators
Recently
(Bostrn Journal

b. When the sons of Maine who are mem
bers of the Massachusetts, Legislature re-
turned to the Pine Tree State for an ex-
cursion last week, they were royalty enter
tanned One of the features of the after
dinner exercises was an original song of
Ewing w. Hamlen, reporter OF the Maine
Senate, who gave song of the Massachu-
sets delegation to the tune of ION to
Philadelphia in the Morning.
Oh, we're Bay State legislators,
(Some of us are good debaterS)
And we came from Massachusetts, in the morn
ing;
For we lately took the notion,
Prompted by our hearts devotion.
For to journey to the State that we were born
in.
With our bundle on our shoulder,
Sure no men could be holder,
We left the Boston State House on short warn
ing,
And we packed up bag and baggage,
And we took q Pullman carriage,
And arrived in old Augusta in the morning
Oh, the boys were there to meet us,
And most finely they did treat us,
We never went to bed until the morning;
For they kept us all a-drinking
Until all of us were thinking
That another day would very soon be dawning
In the morning we were latish
In arriving at the State House,
But the Senate and House received us all due
form in;
Henry Cleaves and Powers and Seiders
Said that we were not outsiders,
And welcomed us to the State that we were
born in.
And banquet then they gave us,
And much kind attention paid us,
They treated us in a manner that was charm
ing,
SO we think the Pine Tree State is
"Consid' able some pertatieS,"
Even though her staple industry is farming!
oh, our hearts are filed with sorrow,
When we think that by tomorrow
Again upon our way we must be going;
But we hope that you'll remember
That from New Year till December
We think of Maine with love that's overflow
ing,

The death OF Richard Vaux of Philadel-
phia, at the ripe old age of 70 years, re-
moves from the activities of life one of
the most notable of American citizens.
He was, essentially, an old school gentle
man, and his public career was one OF
marked ability and integrity. He was
closely identified with the best social and
political life of the great city OF Phiiadei-
phia. and had served with credit in the
National Congress. His loss will be
mourned by a large circle Of friends, both
In and out OF his own state of Pennsyl-

Tho rumors relative to the predicted
resignation of Lord Rosebery, the British
prime minister, have again been revived,
and there appears to be considerable basis
for them. 1t is we'll known that the nerv
Gus system of the great liberal leader
has been seriously undermined by the ex-
acting duties of his position. His health
has been in critical condition for months,
and 1t seems to be only question of a
short time when he will be forced to lay
down the burdens that are endangering
his life, and seek rest and regeneration in
retirement from public office.

turtles. some of which grow to an
enormous size. Attempts to establish
human habitations on the island have
always failed. The turtles undermine

infrequently attack the inmates.

A number of the great cities of the
country are now seriously considering the
purity of water supplies. Within few
years improved methods of filtration have
accomplished wonderful results. 1t has
been shown that sand filtration, upon
proper scale, of water Of cities taking
their supplies from rivers draining large
populated areas, has produced wonderful
results. In the reduction of typhoid fever
alone saving of part of the cost of
filtration has been fully made in every
instance, while other water born diseases
only swell the considerations for adopt
ing this plan. Ofcourse, where the popula-
ton along river banks Is not dense the
volume Of drainage comparatively small,
and the current rapid, interspersed with
more or less falls and ledgy rapids, the
chances of pollution of supplies are not
large and the work of aeration is thor
oughly performed every few miles. In
many Of the very large cities, however
such favorable conditions cannot be Sc
cured, and the question of filtration be-
comes an exceedingly important one. In
many OF tho Western cities, especially,
where the land Is low. the water supplies
have been VIGOROUSLY poor, but with the
most scientific methods of publication
however, the indications are that the
difficulties from these sources will, in
years to come, be largely eliminated and,
rs a result, the healthfulness Of the people
be materially advanced.

There appears to be little doubt but
what Queen Victoria is very sick woman
and her death at any hour, would not
be In the nature of u surprise As has
been well known, the Queen has been a
sufferer from rheumatism for some years
This disease has now extended to the
back and arms, and it is feared that 1t
may at any time affect the heart. The
death of the English sovereign would
seriously affect the political conditions of
England. Parliament would he imme-
diately dissolved, and new general cleo
tion would follow. There is no reason to
believe, however, that the English throne
would pass away In the person of Vic
toria, as many American newspa pers have
been wont to predict. Royalty is too thor
oughly established in the English heart
for any such outcome. However much
the average Englishman may buster
about, airing his opinions and giving
emphasis to his personal views on politi-
cal and social affairs, he is usually loyal
to English institutions and English tradi-
tions. With all his faults the Prince OF
Wales Is considered to be one of the most
popular men In Great Britain. However
much he may be lacking in moral char
aoter or in the elements of higher and
nobler manhood, nobody eau accuse him
Of q lack Of tact. or In quick sympathies
Tor those about him. Should he survive
his royal mother, as now looks probable,
he would undoubtedly be crowned king
of1England with the usual imposing cere.

Whew, How those Aroostook towns do
boom. Here is a prospect of nine dwell
ing houses to be erected upon single
street in Fort Fairfield the coming sea
son and Presque Isle and Caribou car
penters counting on the busiest season
they have had for years.
1t is always great temptation Tor New
Brunswick farmers to endeayor to secure
Aroostook prices for their potatoes. Some
of them have been finding a market for
surplus tubers in the town Of Easton
Recently one of these unfortunate men
was discovered by the custom house
officials and his team seized and sold.
The result will probably be that SNUG
glcrs will be little more cautious here

Mr. John Levya of Woolwich claims to
be the champion fox hunter of Maine.
He has caught during the past winter no
less than 32 reynards and thinks he will
increase that number considerably before
summer. Their pelts have brought him
from rs cents to $3.50 piece
Presque Isle claims that 1t is going to
be the banner town Of the county.
Among other signs of growth in that di-
rection it cities the opening OF handsome
new drug store; the starting of mag
niflcent clothing store, and various other
things that point toward metropolitan
progress.
A Lewiston man calls attention to the
fact that kite flying is not now the popu-
lar recreation of boys that it formerly
was. They play marbles just the same,
fight, run, wrestle, and resort to most all
of the old time sports with this exception
and yet it can be said that the skilHul
flying of kite is always a source of fun
to live boy. 1t is not an art, however,
that is easily acquired, and this, very
likely, is the reason why it has lost its old
time grip upon Maine boys.
