What SewaIl Says.

Arthur Sewall of Bath, late Democratic
candidate for Vice President, arrived at San
Francisco Feb. 4th from a months visit to
his son, Harold M. Sewall, special agent of
the United States in Hawaii. In an inter-
view Mr.. Sewall said:
IL have always favored the acquisition of
the Philippines after the Paris treaty. The
United States should stand with the admin
istration in all that is being done to hold the
Philippines; they are worth retaining.
"Mr. Mckinley will be renominated and
reelected. Mr.. Bryan, too will be renomi-
mated, but l fear that he cannot win the
goal. Thefact is the country has been too
prosperous to warrant any hope of change
in the national administration, and people
are slow to take up reform measures when
times are as good as they are at present.
"NO, am not candidate for the vice
presidency again. l believe it is poor policy
on the part of the democracy to select any
candidate from the State where no electoral
votes may be expected, and, moreover, am
not ambitious to make the race again. II
the Democrats call me again, however. I
could not refuse to do my duty"

duced for Congressman Boutelle to erect
a public building at Calais at a cost of

troduced his bill for public building at

it was in the first bill. This makes four

have been referred to a subcommittee of
which Gov. Burleigh is chairman. They
call for a total expenditure of $3.50, 900.

Maine's Old Home Week.

The Maine Press Association, Woman's
Federation of Clubs and newspapers of the
State are united in urging Old Home Week
in Maine the coming summer. What is
needed now is that the dates be fixed and
announced, and the ball set rolling. No one
is authorized to appoint week, but a mes
sage from our honored governor would at
once be recognized and accepted. The peo-
pie of Maine are ready to unite as soon as the
dates are fixed. A special message from the
chief executive will materially aid the
movement. Maine Farmer.

until it became evident that the final change
was near. 1t gave her no alarm, for she
was fully resigned to the Divine will, and
after making few requests, wished it quiet
so she could rest, and thus passed peacefully
out of this into the higher life. Her life
