STRANG BIRDS.
Recent Mexican Hurricane Brings
Foreign Birds of Rare Plumage.

Recent Mexican Hurricane Brings
Foreign Birds of Rare Plumage.
City of Mexico, Oct. 21.- Late adj
vices from Guadal, ajara give an ac-
count of a curious phenomenon that
occurred in that city just before day
light on the morning of the 18th inst.
This was nothing less than the ap-
pearance there at that early hour in
the morning of large flocks of birds
of different species, and all of them
of a specie unknown in that climate.
Some of them were of the most beau
tiful plumage.
1t is supposed that the birds were
blown away from their natural habi-
tation by terrible hurricane that
prevailed on the west coast, as the
birds were evidently from the coast
country.
Where the flocks arrived at Quad
alajara the were so tired that they
fell on house tops, balconies, and in
the streets, and were picked up by
many people who were out at that
late hour, and especially by the POI
licemen who were patrolling the
streets. Many of the birds that were
picked up were sold next day at good
prices on account of their peculiar
figures and beautiful plumage.

YOUNG CHRISTIANS.

Joint Reception and Entertainment Last
Night Great Success.
A general reunion OF all the
young folks Christian leagues of
the city was held in the Y. NJ. O..
A. hall last night, and was beyond
doubt the most successful social
affair ever held in the association
= rooms.
1t was by far the largest congre-
cation that ever assembled in the
present quarters of the association.
The audience room was filled long
before the time for the entertain.
ment to begin, and before the pro-
gram was half through with, every
room and hall on the floor was fill
ed with the young Christians.
1t was the purpose to hold a So
cial meeting after the program had
been rendered, but the crowd was
so large that it was impossible to
do so, and in consequence the pro-
gram was somewhat heightened.
The addresses were all excellent
and full of advice to the young
people, and the music and solos
were received with hearty APP
plause.
Another reunion of the young
people will be arranged for some
future date, so successful was the
first one.
The program was as follows:

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-02

Mr.. Sewall in the presidency of the
Maine Central, and for whom he enter
tanned the warmest regards, and one of
Senator Brice, who is an intimate
and especial friend.
Mr.. Sewall is student, but studies
from actual contact with men of affairs
and events rather than from books. 1t
is from people themselves who have
been or are active in the passing events
that Mr.. Sewall believes most can be
learned. He believes in a vigorous for
e1gn policy, and, cherishing this belief.
is naturally radically opposed to the
namby-pamby administration of Grover
Cleveland. He believes in urgent ac-
ton In Cuba and in Hawaii; that the
time has come when this nation ought
not to be restrained by cries of entang-
ling alliances" from the protection of its
own and the maintenance of the honor
and the dignity of it's flag
Mr.. SeWall is a man of intense con-
victions. He believes in free silver az
he believes in the Bible. His nominal
ton was a complete surprise, and he
feels the weight of its responsibilities
greatly. When once his convictions are
formed, he enforces them with all the
vjgor and energy at his command.
He takes his nomination in the most
serious light, and will do his utmost TO
win. He was free silver man when
such sentiments were vastly more ur-
popular than they are today. He will

wants everything substantial and of
the best quality, but has no weakness
for display. No liveried coachman sits
upon the drivers seat of Sewall car
riage, but the carriage itself, and the
horses which draw 1t must be of the
finest build and blood. A horse is his
single fad, If SO it may be called, and
the Sewall stables always contain
quite a number of Splendid specimens
Of the equine race. Driving is his
single amusement, and he enjoys it
often. He likes to drive himself, and
drive fast.
Mr.. Sewall is a social man, when one
knows him well, and, once you gain his
real friendship, there Is no more en-
joyable entertainer or companion. He
is not great talker. He thinks a great
deal, and when he does talk what he
says is to the point He is not what
would be termed whole-souled or
cOnvivial man in any sense. He must
know man to like him. When he does
this, he is friend for life. He was a
great admirer of Mr.. Elaine
and Mr.. Blaine entertained the
warmest regard for him. The
Plumed Knights portrait hangs in his
hall and among his most cherished
possessions is a copy of Mr.. Blaine's
book inscribed to Mr.. Sewall In terms
OF affection by the author Near Mr.
Blaine's portrait hangs one of the late

Aloah (salutation in Honolulu, and
Tofa (the Samoan expression of part
ing). These are but few of the inter-
esting names from the long list of noble
vessels which have gone forth from
the Sewall yards. To a lever of the
sentimental there is a charm and an
irresistible attraction about an old ship
yard of Maine, and especially is this
true of a yard which has furnished so
many of the noblest marine monsters
which have flown "Old Glory
If Mr.. SewaIl could have had his way,
and had the conditions been favorable,
he would gladly have devoted all his
time to the building of ships. His
capabilities as a man of affairs have
been the means of drafting him into
other work. His father had been a
director on the Portland and Kennebec
railroad, and Arthur took his fathers
place. He has had extensive connec-
ton with other roads, not only in
Maine, but in Mexico and the Western
states, and he has been president of
the Maine Central system. He is
man of considerable executive capacity,
excellent business judgment, and a
good counsellor in business enterprises.
and 1t is perhaps due more to his pos
session of these qualities than to the
ownership of any very large amounts
of stock that he has been called to the
corporate positions which he has filed.

holder to quite considerable extent
In a large number of big corporations.
Arthur Sewall is emphatically a man
OF home. Though he iseperhaps little
exclusive and almost cold with his
town people and acqslaintances. it can
never be charged that he failed in any
thing which can centluce to the com
fort or happiness of thefcharming circle
OF his own flesh and blood He is a de-
voted husband, kind and indulgent
father. His interest In the SewaIl
blood is not confined to his own i'm
mediate family, and nieces and ,nep-
hews, grandchildren and cousins, will
amply testify to the kindly interest
and help of Arthur Sewall Mr.. Sewall
has but one home. his palatial resi-
dence overlooking his shipyard and
the waters of the Kennebec at Bath
He has often said that he does not be-
lieve in the English idea of country
seat. He believes a man should have
one home, make it as attractive as
home can be, and live in it the year
around, and he thoro1g hly lives up to
this idea. His home is luxurious in its
appointments and furnishings His i'm
mediate family Is made up of his wife
and a niece.
Mrs. Sewan is somewhat of an in

fact that the SewaII doors are not

1t means his political ruin
Whatever may be the results of the
approaching campaign, and whether
or not the wheels Of fortune shall carry
the Bath shipbuilder into the chair Of
the vice presidency, there will be no
harder worker, no more tireless toiler
for the success of the Chicago ticket,
than Arthur Sewall. He will give every
moment of his time to the cause from
now until November. He will accept
the result, either victory or defeat.

few days ago when at Chicago Ar
thur Sewall was summarily dropped as
the Maine member of the national COM
mittee, he wrote home to his family in
Bath:
Il have been dropped from the ma
tional committee, and I am out of pol
tiles for good and for ALL"
Within twenty-four hours from that
moment he was very much more in
politics than his fondest dreams could
ever have pictured even when he was
thoroughly en- rapport with his party
in Maine and at the height of his po-
1itical influence.
Mr.. Sewall cannot be called we'll
known man, even in his own state, out
side of the strictly business interest
for which he has cared, or beyond the
pale of business friends with whom his
connection with railroad and shipping
interest has brought him in contact.
His personality, nevertheless, is an in
teresting one.
Arthur Sewall, third son of William
Dunning and Rachel Trufant Sewall,
was born in Bath in November, 1885.
His father was one of the earliest ship
builders of Bath and member of the

Of Arthur Sewall & Co., have always
been most cordial. 1t is the rarest
thing to hear of any trouble between
employer and employees in the Sewall
yard. One reason for this is the fact of
the superior calibre of the workmen, a
majority of whom are Americans. Bath
boys who are literally born to the bull
ding of ships, and from this fact there
is built up an esprit de corps in the
work of the yard and a feeling of
cordially between employer and en-
ployees that could not exist in such a
degree in larger communities where
the men employed must necessarily be
made up Of natives of many countries.
Mr.. Sewall takes equal pride in his
work, also after a ship has sailed out
of the still waters of the Kennebec
and begun to make record for her
self upon the high seas. Most all of
the Sewall vessels are Differed from
the banks of the Kennebec, with a
preference always given to the boys of
