OBITUARY.

Many in this city and vicinity will learn
with regret of the death of W. H. Folwell,
one of our most welcome summer visitors.
In the columns of the Bangor Commercial
Abel Hunt pays the following tribute to the
deceased
The recent death of Mr.. Folw4ll of Phila-
delpha removes IA unique character from
our beautiful Penobscot, and many who
have received a cordial welcome at his
island home will have tender memories as
they pass by this gem lying near Islesboro,
opposite Northport, looking like tourma-
line on the bosom of the blue waters.
Here he built beautiful home and re-
named the island 1sola Bella from its re-
semblance to similar one on Lake Marglorie
in Italy, which many OF us heard Stoddard
so fascinatingly describe.
He also owned most beautiful residence
called the Twin Cakes in Germantown.
In business he possessed the energy of
Napoleon, and socially he was prince to
eve met, over his magnificent fireplace, the
following: Old Books, Old Wine, Old
Friends!
This was Trinity he believed in and one
that will ever find and attract worshippers.
Thomas S. Bowden of Washington, a
member of the board of Knox County Com
misSiOners, died at his home in that place
July 1st. He had been in failing health for
two years. For many years Mr.. Bowden
was prominently identified with the educa-
liOnal interestsOf this State teaching in all
nearly 80 terms. He was widely known as
an expert mathematician and clerical ac-
countant and for nearly % years contributed
to the puzzle department Of the Maine Far
mers' Almanac under the nom de plume of
'Tom Scott At the time of his death he
was a member of the Republican committee,
and chairman of the Washington town com
mittee His term of office as county COM
missioner would have expired Jan. 1, 1908.
He leaves widow, daughter of the late
Rev. W. w. Davis. His age was about so
years. His death will probably necessitate

The Bicycle a Machine.

The full bench of the supreme court
of Massachusetts. i'll q ruling of Il case
for damages on account of personal in
juries received from being thrown from
a bicycle. decided that the bicycle is ii
machine and not vehicle and that,
therefore, there could be no claim for
damages. a part of the ruling reads as
follows:
"a bicycle is more properly Il machine
than a carriage, and SO it is defined in Muir
rays dictionary 1t is also considered in
the statues of 1894, chap. 479 which is an
act to regulate the use of bicycles and
similar vehicles, and in the amendatory act
of 1898.
"a bicycle is of but little use in wet
weather or on frozen ground. Its value con
sists in the pneumatic tire, but this is easily
punctured. and no one who uses Il wheel
thinks of taking Il ride OF any distance with
out having his kit of tools with him. A
hard rut, a sharp stone, Il hit of coal or
glass, or a tack in the roadway may cause
the tire to be punctured, and this may cause
the rider to fall and sustain AN injury. 1t
would impose an intoerable burden upon
towns to hold them bound to keep their
roads in such Il state of repair and smooth
ness that a bicycle could 20 over them with
assured safety.

the Philippines, and thus answered his

THE BANGOR CONVENTION.

1t was a great convention. There
really did not seem to be any special
reason why people should turn out.
There was but one candidate, and his
nomination and election were alike GER
tain. Yet 1851 out of possible 1900
delegates were in attendance, and the
entire Maine delegation in Congress,
with the exception of Hon. Chas. A.
Boutelle, who is an invalid, were present.
Rarely, if ever, have the delegates in
cluded so many men of prominence and
ability, and never has there been more
complete harmony in such a gathering.
Senator Frye, bronzed by sojourn at
the Rangeley's and rested from his ardu-
Gus duties at Washington, was in fine
form and spirits, and the convention
readily responded to his eloquent and
vigorous utterances. AS presiding
officer of convention, and as stump
speaker, he has no superior in Maine, if
in the country, and his course in Con-
gress and his public utterances else
where have always correctly voiced the
sentiments of the great majority of
Maine Republicans.

Bangor has the reputation, whe ther
deserved or not. of being a very
wet place: but the writer's observa-

that if there was any drinking on the
part of those attending the convention
it was not public. nor were its effects
visible. Neither in the convention hall,
the corridors of the Bangor House. OF
on the streets. was there seen during
the day the slightest evidence of intox-
ication, while the party which came
down the river after the convention on
the steamer Castine including many of
the Waldo and Knox delegations. would
readily have passed muster as cold
water crowd. AS so often different
reports are sent out at such times it
seemed worth while to make this truth
full record from the testimony of disin-
terested observers.
