MIR. SEWALL'S CAREER.

Arthur Sewall, who was nominated
for vice president at Chicago. was
born in Bath, Me-, on November %. 1885.
and was the third son of the late Will
liam D. Seywall. He was educated in
the public schools Of Bath, and after
an apprenticeship under his father,
formed in 1854 with is brother Edward.
the firm of ". &, a. Sewall. ship builders
and commission agents. The Bath
sSewals have been closely identified
with Baths chief industry, shipbuild-
ing. since 1923. when William d. Sewall
opened the small shipyard on the banks
of the kennebec. next to the family
homestead. He was succeeded in busi-
ness by Clark & Sewall. These two
earlier firms built twentynine wooden
vessels between 1923 and 1854.
The firm of +. & A. Sewall was dis
solved in 1879 by the death of Edward
Sewall This firm, in it's twenty-four
years Of existence, had built forty y-sIX
wooden vessels. In 1879 Arthur Sewall,
his son William d. Sewall. and his
nephew, Samuel s. Sewall. a son of the
late Edward Sewall formed the firm of
Arthur Sewall & Co, which Is still in
existence. The firm has built many
wooden vessels, among them being the
appahannock-since burned at sea,
the Shenandoah. the Susquehanna.
three of the largest wooden ships ever
built. and the Roanoke. the largest
wooden sailing vessel aoat.
To meet the conditions of the present
tine Arthur Sewall & Co. began some
years ago to equip their shipyard with
plant for making steel vessels. They
built the first American clipper. Dirigo
Mr.. Sewall was for many years prom
inent as a railroad man. He became a
director of the Maine Central Railroad
company in 1875. and 1884 was elected
it president, serving in that capacity
until the election of Mr.. Wilson several
years ago. During this time Mr.. ewall
was also president Of the Portland.
Mount Desert, and Machias Steamboat
company. Mr. Sawall has been direc-
tor Of some of the branch lines of the
Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe Rail
road, a director of the Mexican Central
Railway in 1884. 1885 and 1886. He is
also president of the Bath National
bank.
Mr.. Sewall came out for free coina gc
of silver in June, 1895, a fact which con-
trbuted to the refusal of his fellow del
egates 70 Chicago to continue him on
the National committee. Mr. Sewall
was the Democratic candidate for
United States senator at the session Of
the Maine legislature in 1893. Mr.. Sc
wall has always made his home at Bath.
He married Emma Croker, of Bath.
a daughter of the late Charles Crooker.
who was also long and actively identi-
fled with shipbuilding at Bath. on the
o9th of March, 1859. and has had three
sons-Harold NJ, who achieved distinc-
ton in the diplomatic service in Samoa
during the first Cleveland administra-
ton. and who has since Joined the Re-
publican party; william D.. member
of the firm of Arthur Sewall & Co.; and
Dumnier. who died in infancy.
The Sewalls are of an old and Illus
trious family on both sides of the water.
The first American Sewall came here In
1884. and was born in Coventry. Eng

ion. The application for tickets from
members of the club promised to make
the event demonstration. Lord Car
rington, the clubs president. for some
reason, intimated that he found it inn
possible to take the chair. Mr.. Morley
regarded this as in some way a reflec-
tion on his Importance as party leader
So the dinner, which was to have taken
place on Wednesday evening, was
abandoned.
The pith of the matter is that Mr.
Morley is now openly a candidate for
the supreme leadership against both
Lord Rosebery and Sir William Vernon
Harcourt. In the National Liberal club
and out of it Lord Rosebery has still
the stronger backing. A majority Of
the Liberals would prefer Mr.. Asquith
to Mr.. Morley. and Sir William Ver-
non-H Harcourt to either. The affair will
lead to a meeting of the Liberal MEM
bers Of Parliament with delegates from
the National Liberal club. and probab-
ly from the county electoral organiza-
tions to discuss the whole question Of
unity among the leaders.

PESTS ~ THE PARKS.
FEW TRACES OF THE RAVAGES OF WORMS
AND INSECTS TO BE SEEN THIS YEAR.


After reading about the ravages Of the army
worm the grasshopper. the tussock moth and
other pests which prey upon vegetation. a Tribune
reporter started out yesterday to make the rounds
Of Brooklyn parks and ascertain, II possible how
much damage had been done TO the foliage and
lawns which are the special care of the Park De-
partment. Prospect Park first visited. and a
stroll from the lower entrance to the plaza at the
fountain shows that the leaf and grass-destroyins
pests have been successfully combatted this year.
Of insect devastation but branches OF certain trees
here and there throughout the park bear evidences
OF the early work OF the moth.
None of the park employees were on duty yester-
day except the police, but the officers who were
seen agreed that the park had never been more
seriously threatened by these pests than In last
June That the trees and meadows freed
from them is due wholly TO the knowledge and vigil
lance Of the foresters and gardeners Of the Park
Department The experience OF the last fve years
has enabled these men to learn the habits OF the
insects and the ounce OF prevention does
much more than the pound Of did half
dozen years ago.
At Tompkins Fort Greene, Carroll and City parks
practically the same conditions prevail. though at
the latter place the officer said something was
needed to keep the children off the grass. but
the appearance Of the place showed that the Off,
Ger had not correctly stated the case. What seems
to he most needed IL the grass few days
more and the parks will be safe for the remainder
OF the year. The last Matching Of the tussock
moth Is about due--in fact, Is looked for day-and
once this crop IL destroyed the park protectors
