The committee was instructed to make

APPOINTED AN INSPECTOR.

Yesterday Collector Moses assigned
George f. Small OF Cape Elizabeth to
fill the vacancy on the force of inspec-
tors at the custom house, caused by
the death of Luther Bradford.
The inspectors are numbered accord
ing to the date OF their appointment
Mr.. Bradford was number 8, and Mr.
Small, who is understood to be the Oldest
temporary inspector, reckoning from date
of appointment, was number 9. So the
collector assigns him to duty as perma-
nent inspector number 8 I'd fill Mr..
Small's former position.
Mr.. Small was born in Cape Elizabeth
In 1910. He enlisted as private in Co.
e, 18th Maine regiment, and served un-
til the close OF the Civil war, having the
rank of sergeant when mustered out.
He was first appointed temporary in
spector in November, 1866, and with
some intermission has served in that
capacity ever since. He is a man of ro-
bust physique and has the reputation of
being an efficient officer.

gate the party platform. The assembly

as convention hall and the members of
the school sat under large placards bear
ing the names Of the states from which
they were delegates
The convention was called to order by
member of the national committee,
Miss Ruth Mitchell. The temporary or
ganization, which was afterward made

THOMAS B. REED TO GO TO OYS

Another distinguished resident is to be
aided to the little colony OF famous men

containing several acres and delight
fully situated on Oyster Bay, command

MAINE STEAMSHIP PLANS.

Men at the Maine Steamship company IS
sheds were working under difficulties
yesterday morning. There were so many
cars to be unloaded that they extended
almost to Commercial street and it was
necessary to truck the freight clear across
the wharf to the shed. Part of the dis
tance the men had to push their trucks
over the uneven ground until they
reached the wharf. AS this state of
affairs occurs quite frequently 1t is likely
that the company viii soon put into
execution a project which they have had
for some time. This is to build con
tinuation of the present shed clear to
the head of the wharf and dredge out
the dock so a steamship can be hauled
back as far as may be desired.

WHAT WE DO in MAINE.
Walter c. EmersOm's Bright Sally in
New York.

Mr.. Walter @. Emerson of this city is
making campaign speeches in New York.
He has met with tiattering receptions
everywhere, but more especially In Great
er New York, where his noon day meet
ings have been crowded and where he has
made great reputation as bright and
entertaining speaker. A man from Port
land was in New York the other day and
followed Mr.. Emerson about to hear his
speeches. He addressed the stock brokers
and the business men, and then went
over on the East Side for the evening.
The meeting place was crowded and there
were great many Democrats present
who attempted to rattle Mr. Emerson and
who were Constantly interruDting him
and asking him questions to perpIex him.
They did not succeed very well in rattl1ng

Maine anyway"
"Ye1n find 1t on the map II you look
for it, Mr.. Emerson replied.
The big tough kept on shouting ques-
tion to Mr.. Emerson and at last shouted,
'What do you do down in Maine anyway,

Mr.. Emerson paused in his speech and
said: ''My friend I'll tell you what we
do down in Maine. We cut ice at dollar
a ton and send it up to you and Boss
Croker sells it to you for SIS ton.''
This brought down the house and the
cheers which greeted this sally would
have turned the head of a less modest
man. There were cries OF You're all
right and more cheers and il was a
long time before Mr.. Emerson was al
lowed to go on with his speech. When he
concluded he was given three times three

since been doing effective work for his
party.
The business mems clubs have sent in
vitations to Mr.. Emerson to speak to
them and have asked the committee to

In front of a window where 1 worked
was Il butternut tree. A humming- bird
built her nest on n limb that grew near
the window, says Il writer in the Ameri-
can Sportsman, and we had an op-
portunity to watch her closely. In fact
we could look right into the nest. One
day when there was Il heavy shower
coming up we thought we would see If
she covered her young during the rain.
Well, when the first drops fell she came
and took in her bill one of two or three
large leaves growing close by, and laid
this leaf ove the nest SO as to com
pletely cover it; then she flew away. On
examining the leaf, we found u hole in
1t, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked upon. After the storm
was over, the old bird came back and
unlocked the leaf, and the nest was
perfectly dry.
