A Modern Fishing Vessel.

Sea farers generally, but particularly
the old-timers, will be interested in the
following description, from the Cape
Ann Advertiser, of new fishing vessel
to be built in Essex:
B. B. Crowningshield, the prominent
marine architect of Boston, has COM
pleted model and sail plan for new
schooner for Mr.. George Steel of Glou-
cester, which will be built by A. d. Story
of Essex.
The new craft is modelled for mar
ket fisherman, which of course profits
by getting her fares to market as quickly
as possible, and therefore the new
craft is designed for speed as well as
safety, and is confidently expected to
prove a flyer.
The vessel will have spoon bow,
which it is claimed keeps craft from
dipping and burying herself forward in
a head sea, and will have a high bow
and stern and should be very dry
boat.
She will have long spars and topmast
with a short mainboom and short bow
spirit. The mainmast is stepped direct
ly in the centre of the craft. which will
be quite long forward being % feet
from foremost to llnightheads
ilt hetl NlilCIl Is 20 lllClltS uttp dlL
and II inches forward, is straight, run
ming on a slant from the rudder post to
forefoot. The keel will be II inches
through and not tapered or champered.
The new craft will have 30 inches free
board from maindeck at the waist, and
the keelson will run from the stern post
to the knightheads Beside the hang
ing knees, she will be fitted with five
inch clamps running fore and aft
1ndesigning the sail plan. Mr.. Crown
ingshields very successful idea of high
spars and short boom and bowsprit will
be carried out. The general idea of her
design is from the 2l-foot raceabout Pi-
rate, owned by Mr.. Crowningshield,a and
champion of her class last year.
This is Mr.. Crowningshield' first at
tempt at designing a fishing schooner,
but his past good work in the yachting
line, and his knowledge of marine archi-
lecture. are a guarantee that the new
craft will be fine one
The vessel will be 100 feet over all, %
feet inches beam, 10 feet ) inches
depth of hold, and will draw IS feet 4
inches of water She will be SIS feet on
the waterline. The bowsprit cupboard
measure so feet and the foremost 10
feet less. The mainboom will measure
GA feet, the main topmast 40 feet and
foretopmast 35 feet She will have a
sail area of 1921 square feet in her four
lower sails.
When completed. she will fit for mar
ket fishing under command Of Capt.
Julius Anderson.

COME TO NAME!
The Governors Invitation to Absent Sons
and Daughters. 1

| The Governors Invitation to Absent Sons
| and Daughters.
Following is Governor Powers grace
full invitation to former residents Of the
State Of Maine to return to their native
State for Old Home Week, August 9th
to 18th, inclusive:
Recognizing and voicing, as ! believe,
an almost universal desire OF the peO-
pie of Maine which demands an ''Old
Home Week in the Pine Tree State
this year, and complying with the rec
concentrations of large meeting Of
the representative citizens recently held
III Portland, and also of many Of the
Boards of Trade and other organizations,
it gives me great pleasure to emphasize
that sentiment and also add to the sue
cess of the undertaking by naming, as
Governor of the State, August 9th to
August 18th, inclusive, as ''Old Home
Week. and also designating August It'll
as the day, and the city OF Portland as
the place, when and where the State
meeting will be held this year.
Therefore, in behalf of the citizens Of
our State, most earnestly assure every
son and daughter of Maine, by birth or
residence, their children and all connect,
ed with them by marriage, that they
will be greeted during this week in all
the towns and cities OF Maine which
were once the home and the scenes of
their childhood. with heartfelt welcome,
unfeighed gladness and open doors.
Visit once more the scenes OF former
days, recall the pleasant memories of
youth and childhood, which no distance
can dispel or time wholly etface. There
can be no more fitting or appropriate
commemOration of the closing year OF
this 10Th century.
Maine is justly proud of the eminent
ability of her sons, both at home and in
other States. Their achievements in the
councils of the nation and in every voca-
ton demanding the highest intelligence,
ability and culture, have placed her
conspicuously in the front rank. She
sends greeting to them all, with an
earnest request to come within her
borders during this week and to mingle
with and accept the proffered hospital
ity of those who have remained at home;
to view and enjoy once again her I'M
rivalled seacoast, her beautiful scenery,
her great lakes and rivers, her grand
and majestic forests, her thriving and
happy towns and villages, that to-
gether we may rejoice in her prosperous
present, review and recall her grand
past, which furnishes noble incentive
and inspiration to us all to make her
future yet more grand and glorious.

James Longstreet was born in South

Military Academy from Alabama, whence
he graduated in 1912, the 54th in a class in
which were Gems. Eustis, John Newton, W.

Second Lieutenant in the Sth q. S., and
did good service in the Mexican war, where
he was severely wounded and brevetted a
Captain and Major for gallant and meri,
| torious conduct. In 1858 he succeeded in
getting promotion TO the rank of Major and
Paymaster, and was holding that com
mission when he resigned and joined the
rebels, June /, 1861. He commanded a
brigade of rebels at the first Bull Run, and
rose to the rank of Lieutenant-General

around Petersburg. He was in command
Of the troops which tried to break through

made him Collector of the Port of New

(To be continued.)

SEVERAL considerations are raised to
oppose our taking an energetic course with
the Sultan: 1. The other missionary
property in Turkey Is said to be worth 20
times our claim of $1,000 2. The Sultan
may not mind our doing anything which
does not directly affect the peace and safety
of Constantinople He might not care
very much about our taking possession of
Smyrna, as he would probably get as much
revenue out of the place as he does at pres
ent We would not be taking the money
out of his pocket, but out of that Of the
men who are secreting the revenues at that
place. 3. 1t might eomplicate the situ-
alton in the Philippines, by raising the
Sulu Mahometans against us. 4. 1t
might topple Abdul Hamed from his throne,
induce a revolution, and precipitate the
long-dreaded general European war. It
is true that all these things might happen,
but all the likelihood is against any ore
of them happening, except that we would
get the money. They are the offspring OF
the fertile minds who were going to have
the Spanish torpedo-boats tip the whole

executed onE the very day on which the
pension is phyable. This regulation fire.
quently causes great deal Of inconveni-
ence, and there is a great temptation to
pensioners, Notaries, and others, who
can see no harm in doing so, to execute the
vouchers at a more convenient time, few
days In advance. There is not the slight
est dishonesty in it,-absolutely no intent
to defraud the Government They think
| it merely an absurd bit of red tape. But
We see the man who has done it publicly
dishonored as if he had done something
| flagrantly wicked, and his business destroy
ed by being disbarred from farther practice
before the Interior Department. Here
( after, he can do no business whatever, not
only with the Pension Bureau, but also
| not with the Land Office. Patent Office.
Indian Office, Railroad Bureau or Bureau
of Education. OF course, a man ought to
be punished, if for nothing else than being
so ignorant Of the law, but for an offense OF
the same magnitude anywhere else he
would probably be let off with light fine
In the second case, it does not appear
that the man was not entitled to pension,
but because he represented that certain
persons were Notares Public who were not,
he is sentenced to three years in the penl-
tentiary, and to pay fine OF S1OO, besides
being disbarred from further practice
before the Interior Department II he had
killed a man, committed burglary, arson
or some other fearful crime, he would
probably gotten off much lighter under the
laws of Arkansas.
The third case is another of post-dating
pension vouchers, and the punishment
is similar.
The fourth case is that of man who
receives a years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for merely filing false and
fraudulent pension claim" The punish
ment was deserved, but how much less it
would have been il he filed a false and
fraudulent claim before the Treasury
Department, or any other Bureau Of the
Government?
The sixth case shows how drastic is the
treatment of the much denounced pension
attorney. man who has demanded and
received something more than the legal
fee in three cases gets a year and day in
the penitentiary, and fine of $3.50. This
is about the average penalty for man
slaughter in most of the States. Suppose
that other lawyers were treated thus?
In the seventh case the pension attorney
gets off much more lightly, for some mex
plicable reason.
Then come batch of women, one or two,
at least, of whom are ignorant negresses,
who each get from one to two years in the
penitentiary, and fines of $1,000. They
would have had to do something terrible
against the laws of their States and greatly
incense public opinion to bring down upon
them such condign punishment.
II will be seen that in the whole batch
there are but three who claimed to be veter-
ans, and can be possibly included under
the sweeping dennnciation of worthless
coffee-coolers who are seeking to loot the
Treasury"
This special bulletin by Mr.. Evans can
be studied by everybody to advantage.

A Rainy Nights March.

For what seemed an awful long time the
rain came down in sheets which fairly
blinded the boys. They took comfort
from this that it would hinder pursuit, and
give them a chance to put good distance
between themselves and the rebel line.
They rushed on through the cedars and
brush, only stopping momentarily, from
time to time, to take BREATH: count them
selves, and be assured that all were there
Then Gid Mackall, who had stubbornly
clung to his heavy iron pot, would empty
it of the unbearable weight of water which
had rained in. The sacks which the others
carried were soaked, reducing the meal to
dough, the hoe-cakes to mush, and greatly
increasing the weight.
Finally the shower died down to spatter-
ing drops. and Si halted the squad in an
