CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem.)
says: Mr.. Hanna should beware of
putting his trust in Southern Republi-
can delegates. He was a friend and
supporter of John Sherman in the days
when that eminent Ohio statesman
was striving for the presidency. and he
cannot have forgotten what happened
to his then political chief in 1880 and
1883. If he has, certain chapters in the
second volume of the 'Recollections of
John sherman will serve to refresh his
memory"

The Springfield Republican is quite
sure that there are two precincts in
the United States that would go solidly
for William c. Whitney for President
of the United States. They are at
Aiken, S. c., where Mr.. Whitney has
winter home, and Washington, Mass,
where he practically owns the town,
whose official seal bears his likeness
in the center. Thus the Whitney boom
has already basis.

Jacksonville is rapidly arising from
her ashes, 1t is stated that by Oct.
1 there will probably be no person or
institution in that city in need of or
seeking relief. There is work for ev-
erybody in the city, and the people are
going about the rebuilding of their
shattered fortunes with brave hearts
and willing hands. Houses bigger and
better than those destroyed, are going
up on every side, and the place is
taking on metropolitan airs once more.
The relief organization has on hand
something like $4,000, which will prob
ably be as much as is needed. The
plucky and successful fight of the peo-
pie of Jacksonville against misfortune
deserves the warmest commentator.

etc. Old Hydrant Engine No. was on the
stage,with some of the appliances in use in
her day. The supper was as usual ample

were active and attentive. The tables were
well patronized, and when all wer ; fed there
remained much food which was sold at
auction for the benefit of the company.
There were 90 dances and an extra and
the number of dancers was hardly dimin-
ished to the end, which came in the 'swee
sma' hours" Assistant Engineer |. T.

excellent satisfaction. They also gave a
short concert.

Bucksport Seminary Alumni.

The annual reunion and dinner of the
Bucksport Seminary Alumni at the Parker
House, Boston, Friday evening, March 8th,
was attended by about 80 men and women.
The special guests and speakers were
Rev. S. A. Bender, principal of the semi
nary; Miss Amanda Wilson, one of the
teachers Hon. Parker Spotford, treasurer
of the institution; Hoyt L. Conary and
Hon. Thomas HI. Sherman.
The general tone of the speeches was
something like anxiety for the future of the
seminary, but this was tempered with hope
fulness, particularly due to the prospect of
the receipt of something like $3.50 year
during the next two years, and perhaps per
manently, to provide for which bill is now
before the Maine legislature.
Mr.. Bender stated that the institution
needs $4,000, and needs it badly. He ap-
pealed to the alumni to heed the cry of their
alma mater and use every effort to assist in
raising the necessary funds.
These officers were elected: L. W. Peters,
president; Hon. A. p. Wiswell, Hon. Par
ker Spotford, Miss Amanda Wilson, L. E.
Partridge and J. W. Walker, vice presidents
Miss Maude Muzzy, recording secretary

Rev. Mark Trafton Dead.

Rev. Mark Trafton, an eminent Methodist
Episcopal divine and formerly member of
Congress from the old 18th Massachusetts
district, died at his home in West Somerville,
Mass, March 9Th. He had been i'll with a
severe cold for several weeks and in addi-
tion had been losing strength and vitality
for some time. He was so years of age.
r.Trafton was born in Bangor, Me-,
Aug. l, 1910. The father of Mr.. Trafton's
mother (Jacob DennetD was one of five men
who left York, Me-, in 1774 and took the land
offered by the government on the Penobscot
river, where now stands the city of Bangor.
Mr.. Trafton was born in humble home on
the old PenObScot, at the mouth of the Ken
duskeag. Reared in penury, his childhood
was long-drawn night of sadness, though
outwardly cheerfulness was assumed.
At the ageof Is he was apprenticed for six
years to cobbler Three years later he was
converted and decided to prepare for the
ministry. Finally he turned his face toward
Kent's Hill Seminary. For three months the
enthusiastic student pursued his studies,
expenses. At the close of his first term a
pressing call came for service in the field.
MIR. Trafton preached his first sermon at
Hermon, Me.
| After having preached in Maine some
| years he came to Massachusetts. While
i pastor at Westfeld in 1855, he was elected
to the 34th Congress from the old 11th dis
| trict. This was the year the Know Moth
| ing party swept the State. He had been an
active leader in the anti-slavery reform and
while member of Congress he secured the
cordial hate of his opponents by his assaults
upon the slave power.
In 1850 Wesleyan gave him the degree of
| A. NJ He took lively interest in the ques-
| ton of woman's suffrage, but always to op-
pose it,
Mr.. Trafton married Miss Eliza Young of
Pittston, Me-, the daughter of a Methodist
preacher. They had six children, of whom
three are living in the family home in
ton 20 years ago.-Boston Globe.
Mr. Trafton was pastor of the Methodist
church in this city in 1887, and is still pleas
