HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE LOT.
n Old Sailor Is Mr.. Chesley, and He Likes
to Talk.

Thomas II. Chesley, who lives at -
world, almost. in his time. He is
low 10 years of age, and his greatest
pleasure in life is telling of his career
1T sea; of his many trips to different
ands, now far back in his memory,
yet real enough one can tell from his
vivid descriptions.
Five times has he been to the port
# Havana, and now especially he likes
% call up his recollections of the har-
DOR, with it's entrance guarded by the
Moro castle on one side. and the gov
,rnor's fortress.with it's menacing guns
IN the other. -,
The Moro castle,he says. is quite high
Ind rises abruptly from the water.
There in the days when he visited the
port, a negro slave would guard, with
gun in hand, pacing to and fro. By
lay or by night one could be found
here on the watch to challenge incom-
ing vessels.
He tells of the city with it's plaster
covered houses. 1t would be a hard
place to set afire for that reason, he
says, as even the brick walls are COW
cred with plaster, inside and out. Be
yond the city's walls is the plain.
with it's Is acres of ground set apart for
military purposes.
Then he remembers the Tacon thea
tire, where in his day the famous Fan
ny Esler used to dance and sing.
Mr.. Chesley has visited the Philip
pine islands, where the ships got their
cargoes of tea, in times when there
was strife in the air. 1t used to be
possible to get the tea from the con-
tinent to the island on these occasions,
but export from the continent was not
permitted, SO the foreign ships got
their cargoes at the island.
He has been through many parts of
China. and seen the famous walls. He
has been for days and days caught off
the Cape of Good Hope. with contrary
winds: or no wind at all.
Mr.. Chesley talks very Interestingly.

The RECESS.

Few Days Of Quiet.

Capitol News and Notes.

After the crush and hustle, the pomp
and parade. of the opening days of the
session the State House is now enioy-
ing a few days of comparative peace
and quiet. The 6sth Legislature is or
ganized, the new Governor. inaugurated
and the new council and State officials
chosen. and now comes, for a few days.
the usual recess until the committees
are made up and everything is in work.
ing order to grind out the grist of legis-
lation. Next Tuesday afternoon at 4.so
O'Clock the two branches will re-as-
semble, the committees will be an
nounced, and then will begin the solid
work.
In the meantime not only the host
of visitors who came to witness the
opening scenes have departed, but also
most of the. representatives and SEN
ators have gone home for these few
days. 1t is said that less than a score
of the members are spending the recess
in the city. The result is that the Cap
itol was almost deserted, yesterday,
and the peaceful between-session at
lmosphere almost seemed to perVade the
great building. A few members were
scattered in their seats reading and
writing. All of the officers of the
House and Senate remain as there is
much for them to do.
For Governor Powers, President Day
and Speaker Larrabee the recess is a
busy time as they have the important
work on hand of making up the various
committees. The council will meet
Tuesday afternoon, and the council
committees will then be announced.
There are just enough committees of
the council so that each member can
have two chairmanships, two second
places and two third places, and this
custom will be carried out as usual.
The Senate and House committees are
the matter of much gossip and specula-
ton, but their final makeup cannot be
known until announced to the two
bodies, Tuesday afternoon. In the
meantime the ambitious SolOns are
holding their breath, and praying that
Fate and the. pending officers will deal
kindly with them.

Before the departure of ex-Gov.

made the recipient of still another
magnificent gift, and it was all done SO
quietly and with such an absence of
formal ceremony. that few about the
Capitol knew anything about it and
1one of the many reporters who now
hover around the State were on hand.
The board of railroad commissioners
presented the outgoing Governor with
large and valuable office table,
uniquely constructed. The top of the
able is hung on a pivot and revolves,
so that book or paper that is wanted
md is on a part of the table a distance

brought readily to hand by swinging
he top of the table round to a point of
vantage. The presentation was made

demand in each state a peculiar and
separate statute law.
Among the subjects to which they
have specially directed their attention
have been the acknowledgment of
deeds and notorial certificates which
are intended to have effect beyond the
limits of the State where taken; the
use of seals on written instruments;
the execution and probate of wills; the
weights of the legal bushel or barrel
which now vary in different states: the
adjustment of days of grace; and
other important subjects.
The commissioners report that they
have exhausted the appropriation of
$500, and recommend a further appro-
priation and legislation fixing their
term of Office.
To the present Legislature the COM
missiOners recommend a law uniform
with the laws Of other states for the
acknowledgment and execution of
written instruments; a law providing
that the word Seal or the letters IL.
S. in the place where the seal should
be affixed shall make the instrument
in all respect sealed instrument; a
law prescribing that a last will and
testament executed without this State
in the manner prescribed there by law,
shall be deemed legally executed by the
laws of this State; law admitting to
probate in this State any will duly ad-
mitted to probate without the State; a
law abolishing days of grace, and MAX
ing all notes, checks, drafts, ETC., that
fall due on Sunday Or a holiday pay
able and presentable on the next
secular or business day; a law estab-
fishing uniform standard of weights
and measures. The commission also
urges that the marriage and divorce
laws of the State be made uniform as
far as possible, and recommends
changes in the law relating to nego-
table Instruments.

A curious coincidence of the drawing
of seats in the House, Wednesday morn
ing, is told and retold among the men,
bers. When the drawing began Messrs.
Pearl of Bangor. Williams of Augusta.
and Colder of Belgrade were setting
near together in one of the center rows.
Mr.. Colder in the front seat and the
other two just behind him, all wishing
and hoping that they could retain the
seats they then occupied. AS the
drawing was alphabetical their names
came far apart. and as their turn came
and each stepped forward to draw a
number from the box, each in turn
drew the very seat he had occupied and
wanted. 1t was so unexpected GOOD
fortune that three better pleased men
could not be found in the House.
Messrs. Macomber of Augusta and
Stetson of Bangor. who drew very I'M
desirable seats in the rear. have ex-
changed with others and are now just
in front of the Speaker. There were
several other exchanges.
