The funeral Of Capt. Charles Babbidge,
of Stonington, on Sunday, was attended
by quite number from here. The re-
mains were brought here and inferred in
the family lot. He was born and brought
up in this place, and after his marriage
settled at Green's Landing. He sailed a
packet from there to Rockland for a num-
Der of years, and afterwards went into
trade. His genial disposition commanded
friends wherever he went, and he will be
much missed. He had been out of health
for long time. He leaves a widow and
one daughter.
Farming is going on briskly this week,
as the few warm days are making every
thing start up. The prospect is good for
large hay crop, and the same of fruits.

The friends here, and they are many,
of Rev. A. D. Moore, who has just left
West fremont, regret that the Methodist
conference assigned him pastorate in a
distant locality. Mr.. Moore preached in
this place during the winter. He labored
for the good of souls; his faith was far
from being creed. He gained and retained
the good will of the younger portion of
the community, especially the young men.
1t is known that he did not desire to be
reappointed. May he prosper in future.
There are many who will be glad to hear
of his success.
Mrs. Maud ODER, wife of Howard ODER,
formerly of this place, died at her home in
Brewer May =. The remains were brought
here for interment, the burial taking place
May 5. Rev. G. H. Heffon, of Southwest
Harbor, conducted services at the ceme-
terry. Mrs. ODER was the daughter of the
late Capt. l.. Y. Stanley, of Brooklyn, n.
Y, and though native of the latter place,
much of her girlhood was spent here her
parents residing for number of years in
this, her fathers native place. Many
friends and relatives mourn her early
death. Mr.. ODER and his two little moth
erless daughters have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the entire community.

Lizard. whleh WAX FREQ.

When drawing attention about year
ngo to the blpedal movements of GER
tain Australian lizards, notably the
cOmical little chlamydosaurus, or
"frilled lizard" whose photograph Ia
now familiar. Mr.. Savllle-Kent re
ferred to an unconfirmed rumor that
the Mexican iguanoid lizard also pos.
sesses the power of running on Its
hind legs, being led to this by the cor
respondence In general structure OF the
creatures, especially the abnormal
length of the hind limbs. He publishes
n letter from gentleman living In the
West Indies which shows that there
also all the lizards, from the large
tree iguana. five feet long. down to the
tiniest mites which scamper about
among the stones, are accustomed tc
run erect on their hind legs when hur.
ried. The correspondent adds the In
teresting Information that on the rocks
about the watershed OF the Guiana are
old drawings of lizards running erect.
Mr.. Saville-Kent points out that this
popularity, which year ago was
doubted by many naturalists, but
which has now been shown to be com.
mon to so many different species OF
lizards, deserves attention as pointing
to bipedal locomotion in some remote
ancestor.-Nature.

A Childish settlement.

In the Connecticut town OF South
Norwalk 1t became necessary n few
months ago to construct road to the
depot on account of recent alterations
made by the railroad company In its
tracks. In making the surveys 1t was
found that the best line for the new
road passed through factory site. In
due course the owners of the factory
were Informed. n price was awarded
for the property, 1t was condemned,
md arrangements We're made to re-
move the building In the way. At the
time the exact line was marked out 1t
was found that the said line would
pass through paiT of boilers set in
brickwork mt that point. The owners
of the factory desired to move the boil
ers, but the City Council demurred,
claiming that. rs the city was to pay
for the part of the land where part
of the boilers stood, 1t was entitled to
that much of the value of the boilers.
The owners said they owned all the
boilers. The city offered them $500,
which was refused. Finding that the
matter could not be decided in any
oter way. an adjustment was suggest
ed. the line was marked out, and
the boilers We're sawed in twain
upon the line of survey. The
part the boitIS settiHts vi
side towards the new road was held
by the city. and the part upon the
other side is retained in its original
position by the owners of the factory.
This is one of the most curious cases
of childish stubbornness which could
well be conceived. as no one gained
anything. The owners of the property
have parts of two useless boilers. The
city has the other parts. and the city
paid 5000 to have them cut in two

Color Linz In tho Army.

There is n good deal of friction be-
tween the War Department and the
officials OF the southern states con-
cerning the colored brethren, who are
quite as anxious to fight for the free
dom Of Cuba as white folk, and in the
opinion of experienced military men
are more available. But some Of the
white patriots down South are not
willing to fight alongside Of n colored
man. They have no objection to his
participation in the conflict, but they
would like to have him removed to
different field of operations and placed
under the command of separate gem
eral. In other words. the southern mi

This race question Is going to make
considerable trouble, because neither
the President, the secretary Of war,
nor General Miles will make the
slightest distinction between n white

Tho Standard Dictionary.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadel-
phia: "The arrangement is admirable.
Especially to be commended is the
giving OF the definition Immediately
after the word. leaving the etymology
to follow later. and the grouping Of
the divisions and subdivisions OF q
subject under a general term SO that
the user is not compelled to engage in
long searches. Men Of every occupa-
tion express their qualification at the
satisfactory manner in which this par
ticular field has been covered. The
better 1t is known. the better 1t Is
certain to be appreciated"

A short d. tective story.

The novel feat of catching n chicken
thief by means of IL camera was re-
Gently performed by Ralph b. Hyam,
an electrical engineer, who resides in
West Philadelphia. Finding that his
hen roost was persistently raided,
Hyam set up Il snap shot camera in
such way that it was focused di-
rectly on the entrance of the chicken
house. Near by on n saucer was
placed charge of flashlight powder.
An ingenious arrangement of wires
was then run from n battery to the
camera and the flash powder and
thence to the door, which, when open
ed, would work the camera and ignite
the powder simultaneously. 1t took
Hyam two days to finish the job. One
morning last week Hyam found that
the coop had been broken open, al
though the thief had evidently been
scared off by the flash of powder.
Anxious to see how the scheme had
worked he at once developed the plate
and nearly tainted when the face of a
church sexton appeared. That indi-
vidual has confessed to all the robber-
les and has promised to make restitu-
tion to avoid arrest.-New York World.
