Mr.. Frye of Maine is among the sena-
tors who We're reelected on Tuesday. He
has already served his State and his coun-
try in Congress continuously for twenty
six years; twelve years in the House and
fourteen in the Senate. He is now one
of the most conspicuous figures in the fed
eral legislature; Republican partisan
sometimes to degree irritating to his
political opponents but always con-
scientious and able legislator and most
interesting speaker with ideas in his head
and sincerity in his eloquencc To the
everlasting honor of Senator Frye, be it
said that he is a Republican only on ques-
tions of dome politics. He is first of
all an American and the flag and the in
terests and sentiments it symbolizes
have no more vigilant guardian and no
more spirited defender.

Helping Shipping.
Oath Tines.)

Shipping men will appreciate the bill
for which Senator Frye has secured
the passage since 1t will relieve owners
of the necessity of securing 25, 600 regis
try, enrolment and license bonds which
have remained attached to our vessels for
more than century.
By freeing our vessels of all unnecessary
burdens, giving them the same chance as
the foreign craft has and permitting our
builders to continue their work, which is
each year bringing them into positions
where they can the better compete with
the builders on the Clyde, it is but q
question of few years when we can turn
out American ships more cheaply than
any other builders in the world, and the n
regain our supremacy upon the sea.

Senator Frye is receiving an ovation
from all quarters-and we felicitate him
for deserving it. While the cheers go up
his shipping bill becomes law by the
Presidents signature given on Thursday.
Mr.. Frye's bill abolishes registry, enroll
ment and license bonds for vessels
About $4,000 of these various bonds are
made out annually at the custom houses
for years past, the law dating back to 1892.
Its repeal relieves the owners and masters
of vessels from obligations to obtain bonds
and sureties and reduces unnecessary
clerical work in the custom house. The
bill provides penalties and fines from
5000 to $500 for violations of laws to guard
against which the system of bonds was
originally devised.

Hallowell Register: o. A. Tuell,
junior partner in the law firm of Heath
& Tuell, died Wednesday morning after
nearly two years suffering from consump-
ton. He had frequently visited our
city in his professional work and also in
connection with the l. o. r. NJ, in which
he was especially interested. He was re-
garded one of the best lawyers of his
age in the State; an indefatigable
worker, he devoted his time and thought
undoubtedly to his profession. His iron
will, with persistent methods, kept him
to his place of business when most men
would have yielded to the dread disease.
Quite a number of Maine people have
no doubt, contributed to the miseries of
the Kanevillc, ILL.,, postmaster. A young
woman of that town conceived the idea Of
starting CHAIN of letters asking for
cancelled postage stamps, the proceeds of
the sale of which should go toward sending
crippled girl of that place to Chicago
hospital for treatment. The recipient of
each of the letters was requested to send
ten cancelled stamps to Kaneville and
to send to three persons copies of the letter
first received. They were admonished
that any break in the "cbain" would be
disastrous, also that it was necessary to
collect million stamps in order to defray
hospital expenses. At last accounts the
million stamps had been secured and the
village pastor, in response to inquiries,
was beseeching people not to entirely sub
merge the postmaster with cancelled
stamps What scheme for rascal to

A writer in the Portland Press recalls
the time when Tom Reed taught the
pond school at Cape Elizabeth and his
recollections of the tanning of an unruly
scholar by the dauntless young pedagogue
are very vivid. After buttons and frag-

and left Tom succeeded in getting
grip in the neck cloth of the big boy and
