Mr.. Sewall is not much of talker.
For forty-five years he has been asso-
ciated with business enterprises. which
for the past thirty years have been of
the first magnitude. All of his dealings
have been with hard-headed men of af-
fairs on whom the platitudes SO COM
mon in political life would have been
useless. He has been drilled to think
much and talk little. What he has to
say is expressed briefly and tersely. He
deals only with facts and never INDUCES
in word painting.
He is not a congenial man by any
means, and while he has the finest home
in Bath it is seldom the scene of social
gayeties. This is largely due to the fact
that Mrs. Sewall is an invalid. And
right here it can be said if fate returns

WEALTH OF TIE WORLD
II Divided Equally the Proportion of Each lndi.
vidual Would Be Small

Recently a paragraph, probably OF
English origin, has started on its travels
through the newspapers and maga-
zines which shows that If the wealth Of
the United States was divided every per
son in it-man, woman and child. mill
lionaire and pauper, banker, farmer,
artisan, Schoolboy and schoolgirl-would
have 5000. This is not large sum when
the growing resources of the United
States are considered, but there are prob
ably plenty of persons in every commu-
nifty who would be willing to accept $500
in cash in full satisfaction of prospect.
i've division at soSne time far remote OF
the total wealth of the country.
In point of fact it is, of course, unreas-
enable to base any plan of division on the
total number of inhabitants, for a very
large number of these are infants be-
low the age of years, and still larger
number are male minors between and
Il and female minors between and IL.
But even on the basis OF the total inhab-
itants of the country a division of it's
wealth would yield much more than 5000
in fact, more than $1,000. There were
by the last federal census about 7,000,-
600 male adults in the United States,
and division of the wealth of the coul-
try among them would give $4,000 apiece
as the share of each. The word wealth"
has a somewhat elastic meaning when
applied as a designation of property,
DuC among the SIdIlSllclanS IL covers,
first, and chief of all, land, next houses,
then the contents of houses, and in the
order of Importance cattle, money, met
al, railways, merchandise, ships and
sundrles.
On the basis of all these the average
wealth to each inhabitant in the follow
ing countries is in excess of $1,000 per
annum: United States, England.
France, Denmark, Holland and Austria
liza. Between the $3.50 and $1,000 limit are
Switzerland, Belgium, Canada Below
that are Germany. Spain. Italy and
Sweden. In Russia the average is $500
and in no country from which authentic
statistics are attainable is the amount
of wealth less. esH
On the basisi of the actual money in
circulation among the inhabitants, ire
spective of such forms of invested
wealth as houses, lands, ships and mer-
chandise, France is the wealthiest coun-
try with an average of $50 to each in
habitant, the largest proportion OF
which is in gold coin. The average In
the United States is S35, in Germany $25,
in Holland $10 in Great Britain $22 so,
in Spain $22.25, in Italy $40, in India S.,
in Japan $3.50 and in Canada 81. A di-
vision of the wealth of any country on
an exact and indiscriminating basis
among it's inhabitants is, of course,
chimerical, but consideration of the
results of such division gives very
clear indication of the relation which
the wealth of one country bears to the
wealth of another. The growth of ma
terial wealth is more rapid in the United
States than in any other country, but
the growth of population keeps on, too,

the family history that the Sewalls of
today came naturally to their intense
convictions regarding the welfare of the

THE son A GOOD TALKER.
While nothing definite has been an-
nounced it is generally understood here
that Harold Sewall will stump the state
for Mckinley. He is an effective speak
er and a more fluent talker than his
father He has been a more active
worker in the political field than Arthur
Sewall. and unbiased judgment would
probably mark him as the better POI

The elder Sewall, while respected AMI

He has acquaintances and business as
sociates by the hundred. but he does not
make friends quickly. He must know u

heart to him, but when he does the

BATH, Me-, Aug. War between
father and son is what the voters of this
city and state look for in the coming
campaign, with Arthur Sewall, vice
presidential candidate of the Democra-
cy, on one side, and Harold NJ Sewall a
leading Republican worker on the other
There are some old-time politicians
herea bouts, for people live to a good old
age in Maine, but not even the one with
the longest memory can remember the
time when the conditions We're so prom
ising for red-hot political fight as they
are today. In the political annals of the
nation there is no record of a similar
state of affairs. where the son of one of
the leading candidates entered the lists
against his father In this case it is not
for lack of love and respect but simply
as matter of principle.
1t must be understood that Arthur Sc
wall, the father, and Harold Sewall. the
son, are the best of friends in all things
except the political issue of the day and
each respects the other for the frmness
and strength with which he holds to his
opinions. Both men are stern believers
in the sacredness of a principle. The
conservative, unbendng New England
instinct of holding fast to the last gasp
TO that which is believed to be right is
firmly embedded in the nature of each
man, and to relinquish that idea at the
price of family advantage would be
esteemed an everlasting disgrace
OF course. if the father could induce
the son to change his opinion by force of
honorable argument he would not scru-
pie to do it, and there would be great
family rejoicing if he succeeded. But
there is little hope of this, although no
one can predict what the happenings of
the campaign may lead to-
ONCE a DEMOCRAT.
Harold Sewall was originally a Demo-
crat and a worker of great value to his
party. He figured prominently in the
Decentralization campaign of four
years ago, and was one of the ablest
fighters in the ranks of the Democracy.
Later he was rewarded by being ap-
pointed consul-general to Samoa He
was sent away just at the time of the
great excitement at Hawaii when the
revolutionists on the island favored an
nexation to the United States. Mr.. Sc
wall was in a position to gain an accu-
rate insight of the affairs of Hawaii. and
he did everything in his power to in
duce the administration to regard the
request of the anneXationists faVorably
1t was q heavy shock to him when an
opposite course was decided upon. and
in great disgust he threw up his consul
ate and his Democracy and returned to
this country the strongest kind of Re-
publican. From that time until the pres
ent he has been an unWavering worker
in the G. o. T. ranks, and for the past
two years has been laborng with might

I THE METRIC SYSTEM :

AA4AA4AAAA4AAAA%A4A&AAAA@s
BY ABBOT KINNEY

The impression is general that the met
ric system is theoretically perfect, or
nearly so, and that about the only real
argument against its adoption is the
inconvenience and confusion incident to
a change in weights and measures. An
article in the June Popular Science dem
onstrates that the metric system is not
theoretically peNect. More than this,
Herbert Spencer, the author of the ar
ticle, claims that the general adoption
of the metric system would be misfor-
tune to the world. Spencer is our great
est living authority on political econo-
my, and his opinion commands respect.

the Maine man a loser on November 3,
next it will not be much of a disappOiDt-
ment to Mrs. Sewall. She does not favor
the political prominence of her husband,
and regards it as an unwarranted inter-
ruption OF the quiet of her home life.
She breads newspaper notoriety, and she
has treated all requests for her photo
graph with contempt.
Those who know him best say that
Mr. Sewall would rather go on building
ships than win the highest elective office
in the land. But he regards his nomina
tion as most serious responsibility,
and having been q vigorous believer in
the efficacy of free silver for many years.
he is determined to make the strongest
fight possible from now on to election.
Mr.. Sewalrs second son, William D.,
and his nephew, Samuel S. Sewall, both
of whom are partners in the shipbuildins
yards. will work in the campaign in
the interest of their partner.

by fear and by persons incompetent to
interpret what they see.' Notwith-
standing every effort which DR.. Spitzka
has made to secure the observation of

testimony of medical men of wide ex-
perience is invariably to the effect that
if hydrophobia develops in human be-
ings at all, it is only on very rare occa-
sions, and that the condition of hysteri-
cal excitement usually described as hy-

Arthur Sewall was as much opposed to
the course of the administration in the
matter of Hawaii as was his son. but
his disappointment was not so keen.
Arthur Sewall is a believer in the firmest
kind of foreign policy. His family has
been identified with the progress and
growth of the nation since its inception,
and long before it had thrown off the
British yoke by the war of the revolu-
ton. The first Sewall to settle in Amer
lea was Henry Sewall, who came to
Newbury, Mass, in 1884. This Henry Sc

affairs of the colony. and before his de-
parture from England he had been may
