by the story told by q recently arrived

story thus runs:
In cne az the great treaty ports there

camille men. native and foreign, meet.
They frequently play cards, and the
game which Is most in favor Is Map"
One day there was a quintet party at
the game, when the stakes had gradu-

Suddenly an Engllshman with smile
Of grim satisfaction threw down his
cards. reached for the pot and said, Il

There was a general laugh at the ex-

he had won. which was soon after re-
peated. Another European had made
the customary announcement which
precodes reaching for the pot, when the
slant-eyed speculator again banked

"Miedeal; l got six cards"
A silence fell upon the players when
the cnrds were shufiled and passed

The answer was In the Affirmative each

and bullets to the Confederate scriI

one which resident of Washington
showed recently to Star reporter
II was simply plain ironstone our

pattern, and one that but for its as
sooiations and the marks 10 bore
would exotic little interest.
It came from a set of orookery
made for the Confederate states
navy. Old Confederate navy Off.
eors who have seen the cup have, al.
most without exception, explained
that shey did not know that the Con-
federate states navy had any crook
cry especially marked for Its use.
"The fact was," said one old vet.
gran, "I ate off of a tin plate and
drank my coffee when wo had 1t,
from a tin cup. never had any
orookery nor saw anybody else with
any during my service.
This cup and saucer were intended
for Confederate privateer that was
built and fitted out In tho last year
of tho war. Tho crew was recruited
and the officers were sent from the
south to England and took active
part In the work Of fitting out the
vessel.
The officer who had charge sont
this cup and saucer to his brother,
who had been on the Alabama, and
who was, during tho last year of the
war, engaged In blockade running
between Now York and various
southern ports.
The CUP is about inches in diam
etcr and 3inches deop. with strong
handle. 1t Is almost large enough
to be used as q bowl and holds prot
ty we'll toward pint. The bottom
Is broad, evidently with a view TO
prevent its tipping over at sen.
On the front of the cup when It Is
held In the right hand Is a coat vf
ar1ps, or, rather, q design emblemat.
ioal of the arm Of tho service In
which it was to be used.
In the center Of this design are nm

two crossed cannons. Around this
central design Is circle Of ropo and
outside of this q wTo0th of poppies

Underneath the anchor arc the

runs the motto, "Aido toi OF Diou

There the need of a local newspaper
appealed to him so strongly that he
engaged in the work of establishing the
Aroostook Republican, which he car
ried out thoroughly and successfully.
In 1887, Mr.. Matthews was appointed
to the responsible and important posi-
ton of commissioner of the bureau of
industrial and labor statistics of Maine.
and this Office he has continuously held
through successive appointments. A
thorough collection and compila-
ton of statistics showing the
condition and progress of the
great industrial interests of the
State requires patience. perseverance.
industry and a special fitness for the
work. That these are possessed to
marked degree by Mr.. Matthews is
conclusively shown by the able and ex-
haustive reports annually issued by
his bureau. His last report. published
this week, is the best of the series.
They have come to be regarded as
among the most valuable and in
structive of all the State documents.
Mr.. Matthews possesses a rare nature
that is always making and retaining
friends, and he has host of them all
over the State and in many sections
outside.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1897-01-26

friends be more sincere, for all who
know Mr.. Matthews-and he is very
widely known, give him without re-
serve their respect, admiration and
affection.
The appointment can give only sat
isfaction in every part of the State.
and will reflect credit upon the admin
istration of our honored Chief Execu-
tive.
In connection with the reappointment
a brief sketch of Mr.. Matthews career
will not be amiss. He is a native of
Hampden, Penobscot county, where he
/ was born, May 81, 1882. He attended
the town schools, and fitted for college
at Hampden Academy mainly under
his fathers instruction. His father
and he attended the same institution,
graduating in 1854 with high rank.
After leaving college, Mr.. Matthews
taught for a time in this State and
then in South Carolina, where he has
since done so effective work on the
stump Finally he decided upon law
as profession and after studying
with Hon. John F. Godfrey of Bangor
he was admitted to the Penobscot bar
in 1860 and began the practice of his
profession in hts native town. For 10
years succeeding 1852 Mr.. Matthews
,sftuI5
served as assistant assessor OF internal
revenue. In 1873 he represented his
