A Short History of the Belfast Unive

measures were adopted fer building a

| ton of a committee for that purpose
the present editice was erected. Work
was begun on the first Of May On the

long and painful sickness, which he

Trouble "Hind Side Before"
T Eli Perkins in the New York Sun I

A tired delegate from the Bryan con
vention came into the smoker at Indian
apols He was sedate, reflective and
moulnful. He didn't look like man
returning from victory. He didn't
seem to be satisfied with anything. He
sat down. put three fingers on his brow
ard looked down. Then he breathed d
long breath and sighed.

The delegate was silent.
"Nominated strong mem" said Will

Some think SO, Eli" he sighed.
'Why. we Democrats haven't made
amy mistake:" | said
"Might have done better" Then he
looked at me over his glasses as if he
wanted to unburClen himself. Then,
scratching his ear and thinking two
minutes, he continued:
Yes, we all thought we did it, but on
reflection we find the party wasn't in it.

troll PSI electoral votes out of the 447

Beers in Africa, Eli, got to do with Amer

hearted delegate, We've got no plat

crat can stand on. Any boy knows that
free silver is a $50 per cent. bonus ON
the product on the silver mine owner,
and the loss to the government will
have to be paid some day by the corn
and cotton planter. The farmer OF the
manufacturer is not in it. Neither is
the shop man nor the cowboy. The old
free trade and free silver platform is
played out. 1t will not deceive the peo-
pie again. Growers old free trade

Why, a chance to have Adlai Stevenson

Polygamy and Alcoholism Among the Birds

Cow blackbirds are common to this
locality during the summers and they
are found in our pastures with the cat
tie | have never found their eggs i'll
the nests of other birds, but they are
Mormonistic in their habits, one often
having as many as dozen wives and
| have known the crow blackbird to
have more than one mate.
Some years ago an article went the
rounds of the newspapers telling of a
man catching flock Of crows by soak
ing corn in alcohol and leaving it fol
the crows to eat, and when they became
drunk he caught them. | tried bread
crumbs soaked in whisky on English
sparrows, but they would not eat them,
and finally got crow, and though !
kept him until he was very hungry |
could not get him to eat corn soaked in
whisky, and he found no difficulty in
picking up every unsoaked kernel and
leaving the others. You may draw your
own moral, but l am satisfied that the
crow will not eat food saturated with
alcohol. He is either too uncivilized OF
too intelligent From The Birds OF

CHAs. H. TREAT
Former Bath Millman Now Collector fo1
Uncle sam.

The New York Commercial has the
following interesting pen picture Of
Chas. H. Treat formerly of the firm of
Treat Il Lang who ran the big saw
mill years ago on the present site of
the Iron Bath Works:
The collector of internal revenue for
the Second New York district. Charles
II Treat. is about the smoolhest and
breeziest official that New York bust
ness men have to go up against III pay
ing tribute to this great Government of
ours. If You have the price with you,
it is a positive pleasure to buy thous-
and ''twos' and 800 tens of Treat.
The collector has had his ups and
downs. but the ups have predominated.
ntil he began to age a little. he was
an almost perfect reproduction OF John
!. Raymond in his impersonation Of
Colonel >ellerS-smooth face, bright
eyes, prominent teeth. nervous move
ments and understandable loquacity.
And, strange to say. Treats personal
characteristics and temperament are
almost identical with those of Mark
TWains creation.
There's millions in it, used to be
a favorite expression with him, and
whenever a new scheme claimed his
1 interest, his enthusiasm over it knew
no bonds.
He could '.hv kites" with the best of
! them, too, thirty years ago. About that
time he organized the firm of Treat,
Lang 4 Body, and his ambition was to
corral all the lumber business in Maine,
,pj, no L
at Bath The enterprise prospered for
time, but went to smash within half
a dozen years, simply because it was
top heavy-doing more business than it
had capital for. 1t owed everybody
from banks and trust companies to office
boys, but Treats buoyancy of spirit was
not whit impaired by the collapse.
He was on his feet again III a jitfy. \
ventilated folding fruit and vegetable
barrel scheme that he tiOated is said to
have made him small fortune, and he
has rarely been without kite in the
air that had millions in it,
One of Treats partners in the lumber
enterprise was ID. \. Body. and he
subsequently paid every dollar OF his
personal Indebtedness, with interest,
and his proportion of the firms debts:
Since then he had been a member OF
Congress from New York and Mayor
Of Brooklyn during the reform upheaval
over there. At present he is the senior
member of Boody, Mcclellan & Co.,
stock exchange brokers.
Col Thomas S. Lang was the other
partner, long since dead. 1t was of
him that Blaine said in political speech
when he was running for Congress
against the Plumed Knight: I'm al
most sure that Lang's title of Colonel
is spurious. He was never in the army
or the State militia, and a search of the
records of the Governors office fails to
disclose any staff appointment to a
Lang. 1t may be, however that he is
on the staff of Gen. Knox" Blaine
allusion was to the famous trotting and
breeding stallion Gen. Knox, long the
property of Tom Lang, and horse and
owner were always after that referred
to as ''the General and 'the Colonel, y
as being Of the same military family.

The Hon. Frank Jones of Portsmouth

The Hon. Frank Jones of Portsmouth
has given out in an interview his reason
for supporting Mckinley instead Of
Bryan. He says that he declined to
vote for Bryan four years ago because
of the money issue, and for the same
reason he shall decline to support him
this year. AS to imperialism, he re-
CARDS that issue as overshadowed by
the money question. In fact, he does not
think the questions as to our new posses
sion will be in such development as to
afford well defined party issues for four

Mackerel Disappearing.

Mackerel which were so plenty off the
Maine coast a few weeks ago, now
seem to have almost entirely disappear
ed, greatly to the regret of the fisher
men. The disappearance of mackerel
is attributed solely to the dog fish which
have of late schooled in these waters in
great numbers. The dogfsh is sort of a

ever dog fish are abundant nearly every
