From Las Palmas they will come

Harrington people see the decline in
| recent years in American shipping in
the fact that there are So shipmasters
in that town who have quit the seas
principally because their vessels have
been wrecked or used up and the bust
ness does not warrant the keeping up
of the fleet. In 1874 Harrington was the
most prosperous shipbuilding town east
of Bath and at that time owned more
tonnage than any town in the Machias
or Passamaquoddy districts.
The Rockland Courier Gazette says:
The message claiming to come from
| Capt. Ingraham of the steamer Penta-
| goet was shown to Mrs. Ingraham,
Saturday. and she promptly declared
| it an imposition. The handwriting
| bore no resemblance to that of Capt.
Ingraham and the appearance of the
! wood itself was not such as might be
expected after a sea voyage from the
Cape Ann shore to Islesboro. 1t was
done as joke but the merit of the joke
is somewhat questionable.

They Used to Say
Pillsbury's Unique Record.

Harry N. Pillsbury, of the Borough
of Brooklyn, and the chess champion
of the United States, recently visited
the Chess, Checkers and Whist Club
of New Orleans. This club is one
that the first great American chess
player, Paul Morphy, assisted in
forming, and of which Mr. Trist, the
famous whist player and the devel-
oper of ''the American lead" at that
game, is a member. Mr.. Trist's
theory as to the leads, it will be re-
membered, received the Endorsement
of the late Henry Jones, of England,
better known as "Cavendish." The
latter was a guest at the New Orleans
Club at his last visit to this country.
Mr.. Pillsbury is al expert at all ofthe
games which give the club its name,
and he has met the best players at all
three games in that city and defeated
them at all sorts of combinations. One
night he played simultaneously two
blindfold games of chess, a blindfold
game at checkers, and took a hand in
a game of whist, and was successful
in all four of his contests. This is
said to have been a record, even in the
annals of this unique club, and young
Pillsbury's success there, both as a
player and socially, has been COM

A Prince Comes visiting.

Grown Prince William of Prussia is
expected to pay a visit to the United
States next year. This youth, the
heir apparent to the thu one of the
German Empire, who is now in his
eighteenth year, is an intelligent,
we'll bred and manly fellow. Like all
the six sons of Kaiser Wilhelm, he has
been carefully trained, especially in
military matters. Prince Frederick
has been a colonel in the German
army since he was ten years old. He
is a fearless rider, an accomplished
fencer and as well educated all around
as is possible for a youth of his age.
Yet withal he is said to be a quiet,
studious lad, fonder of his books than
of his horse or his gun, and more
likely to defend his own country than
to attack others. Thanks to his sim
pie out-of-door life, his health is ex-
cellent, and he is well grown and
physically perfect. - New England

An Old Engllsh Windmill.

One of the oldest windmills of the
marshes of Norfolk, England, where
the marsh country is often very beau
tiful, is quaint. Its wooden tower
still defies the strength OF the winter
winds which sweep across the low
lands from the sea, but two of its
canvas frame sails are gone, and those
that remain are fast falling into decay.
For 200 years it has been one of the
safeguards Of the adjoining meadows.
