GAVE HER TO CREW.
Capt. Mahan Abandons the Schooner Tri,

Capt. Mahan Abandons the Schooner Trj
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. This is the tale
of the voyage of a sieve and of a skip
per who made most of the trip by rail.
1t shows that he had due appreciation
of the sieve-like qualities of the little
schooner Triton.
She arrived at Newton creek last Fri
day with cargo of lumber from the
kennebec river, after voyage of three
months. The wonder is not SO much
at the length of the voyage as that the
Triton ever finished it.
Capt. Mahan, her skipper, was on
board when the Triton, with patched
and mildeWed sails and straining hull.
sailed out of the Kennebec early last
October. She went at a smashing speed
down the coast, so great in fine that
her WOrmeaten timbers strained and
spread.
The cautious captain touched at Port
| land, and then reached down the coast
to Portsmouth. There the schooner
ran on mud bank, and Capt. Mahan
blandly told chief mate Candage that
| he would finish the voyage by rail and
meet him in New York.
The mate could only cape in astonish-
ment, and before he could utter word
the skipper was off. The mate worked
the Triton off the marshes, heeled her
over so that the seams could be partial
ly caulked and with two pumps working
again put to sea.
Luck stood by the little schooner in
rounding Cape Cod, and leaking and
tloundering she passed Nantucket and
entered the waters of the sound. There
she was driven hither and thither for
weeks.
1t astonished Capt Mahan to hear
that the Triton was in port. He hasten
ed to Newtown creek and secured the
papers, but to the demands from the
crew of two that pay be Forthcoming he
said:
Take the old punt. She's yourn.
Sell her and get yer pay. I'm havin'
hard enough time making ends meet in
this here town. The dern cargo won t
make good
The seamen furled the patched and
tattered canvas and unfolded their woes
to Clark H. Abbott of the Seamen's aid
society, who libeled the vessel. The
case will come up on Feb u. Mean
while Deputy Marshal Henkel is on
board, in fear and trembling lest the
old craft sink when the lumber cargo is
removed.

Fish at the Exposition.

The exhibit to be made in the United
States Government Fisheries Building
at the Pan-American Exposition will be
full of interest to visitors. The work
on the building is well advanced. The
interior construction is about finished.
In the center is the woodwork for the
fountain which during the Exposition
will be covered with mosses and aquatic
plants and will send jet of water high
into the air to cool the atmosphere of
the place. Around the fountain, next
to the walls, runs a circular corridor on
the outside of which are the tanks
which will contain the fisheries exhibits.
The corridor will be in semi-darkness
while the tanks which are set into the
walls will be lighted from above, thus
making all the animal life they contain
plainly visible. Across the corridors
from the tanks will be row of mirrors.

ing. How would it be to enlist. Here
was a subject worthy of serious con-
sideration. What could life offer him
here but the prospects of a dreary slav-
ing over account books. Was that a
career for man with blood in his
veins and strength in his sinews? On
the other hand, strenuous activity, the
JOY of conflict, the thrill of danger
and then glorious death. She would
hear of it and perhaps her binding
tears would fall fast upon the printed
page where his name would appear
in capital letters in the list of the
slain. They might perhaps bring his
mortal remains back in metal cas-
ket. They have done that for the
boys who fell in Cuba, and While Per
cival thought at the time it was a
piece OF idiotic sentimental extrava-
gance, now it seemed only the proper
and decent thing to do. The services
would be held at the church, of course,
and there would be pathetic illusions
to the young hero, who animated by
sentiments of the loftiest patriotism,
responded gladly to his 'country's cali
and laid down his life on the sacred
altar of-er-of that country The
chances were good for a swooning at
that.
But after all it would not be we'll to

determination that it should be-yet

He would release Eer formally from
her engagement formally. She
should understand, yet he would place
an icy barrier before her-and then he
would bid her farewell forever. Per
haps letter would be the best way.
No. Letters were only letters, liable
to misconstruction, and there should be
no mistaking his firm intention.
Yet it might be put better in writing.
But then there was always the danger
of a letter falling into the hands of a
third party. The old man might open

Where was the sense of putting it off?
If it had to be done it might just as well

Perhaps ten minutes had elapsed since
the eternal farewell had been spoken
and the young man and the girl were
seated on the sofa talking it over. They
were not yet separated-far from it.

As True as Gospel.

Try to understand your neighbor, and
you will be understood.
1t takes a genius to compel himself
to like the disagreeable tasks he has to
perform.
Time is grateful friend; use it well,
and it never fails to make suitable re-
quital.
The business of the head is to form a
good heart, and not merely to rule an
evil one, as is generally Imagined.
Prejudice and partiality limit atten-
ton to what favorS one side, and thus,
as it were, makes us deaf in one ear
and blind in one eye.
A man is relieved and gay when he
has put his heart into his work and
done his best; but what he has said or
done otherwise shall give him no peace.
One hearty laugh together will bring
enemies into closer communion of heart
than hours spent on both sides in in
ward wrestling with the mental demon
of uncharitable feeling.
If we do what we know to be wrong,
or if we refuse to do what we know to
be right, we have reason to reproach
ourselves, afterwards, with the results
of our error. But if in prayerful de:
sire to do right, we act in the light of
duty as it presents itself to us at the
time we have no reason to reproach
ourselves, whatever be the result. Duty
for the hour is in the light of the hour.
God takes care of the consequences OF
such duty doing.

Gavel for Speaker Manlev.

1t was made of Historic Wood, and comes
from Kittery.
AUGUSTA Me-, Feb. 6. Speaker Man
ley of the house has been presented
with another beautiful gavel by some
of his warm friends in Kittery.
The head of this gavel is made of teak
taken from the pin rail of the U. S. S.
Reina Mercedes, formerly of the Span
ish navy. This is the ship on which
Lieut.. Hobson was confined after his
capture by the Spaniards at Santiago.
Later, after the destruction of the
Spanish fleet by the American forces,
she was taken by the Spaniards to the
mouth of Santiago harbor with the in
tention of sinking her across the chan
mel so as to obstruct the entrance of
the Americans.
In their work OF sinking her they
were ably assisted by the Yankee ships
Massachusetts and Texas, from which
two 13-inch shots pierced her through
both sides, with the result that she
sank on one side of the channel, thus
not accomplishing the purpose intend
ed. She lay under water for several
months, and was then raised and tOWed
to Norfolk and later to Portsmouth, n.
H., where she is to be entirely rebuilt
The handle is made Of wood brought
from the island of Cuba by the U. S. S.
Yankton.
Mr.. Manley has sent the following
letter of acceptance and thanks:
State of Maine, House of Representa-
tives, Speakers Room, Feb. 4, 1901:
Gentlemen-The gavel you SO gener-
ously present to me is accepted with
gratitude.
1t represents the downfall of despot-
ism and tyranny in the western hemis-
phere, and the increase of liberty. 1t
portrays the growth and expansion Of
the United States, the triumph of the
American navy and the yalor of its men
and officers in war unparalleled in its
successes in the history of the world.
1t exhibits the genius of American me-
chanics in their ability to restore that
which was apparently destroyed to new
efficiency and service.
This gavel, which | appreciate and
prize, is a most fitting instrument to be
used in the popular branch of the legis-
lature of Maine. / am, with great re-
spect, your obedient servant.

Ernest L. CLANCY and others, Kittery,

Queen victoria's Name.

She Was Born Azon and Her Marriage
Made Her Mrs. Albert Victim.
What is the queens family name?
asks I. 2. OConnor in Mainly About
People" 1t is matter of common be-
lief, he says, that in the extremely un-
likely event of the entire abolition OF
all titular distinctions of Great Britain
and the disintegratlon of the social
hierarchy into its primitive elements,
Her Majesty's present royal designa-
ton would be reduced to the simple
formula of 'Mrs. Guelph" This is an
entire mistake. The Queens legal
name, were she by some mysterious
process to become a. simple commoner,
would be Mrs. Wettin," by virtue of
her marriage with Prince Albert of
SAKE Coburg- Gotha, whose name, strip
ped of territorial and other garnish-
ings, was plain "Albert Wettin.''
Victim is the patronymic of King Leo
pold of Belgium. of King Albert Of Sax
ony, of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-G -Gotha, Of
the Duke of Saxe-W Weimar, and of the
Duke of SAKE Meiningen, as we'll as of
the Prince of Wales and his brothers,
and of Prince Charles of Portugal
Victim, who died in 1856, was descen-
dant of one Wittikind, who was a con-
temporary of the great Charlemagne.
The majority of the reigning Princes of
Europe claim to be descended from
Wittikind, among them being King
Christian of Denmark, King George Of
Greece, Peter, Grand Duke of OIden-
burg, and the Car of Russia. The pat
ronymic of the four rulers is Oldenburg,
the Emperor of Russia, being neither
Romanotf, nor yet a Holstein- Gottrop,
as has been stated.
The Queen prior to her marriage was
entitled to the patronymic of Azon-she
was Miss Azon, in fact. OF the same
name are reigning Prince of Liechten-
stein and the Duke of Cumberland, or
King of Saxe-Coburg- G otha, as he is
now. The founder of the house of AEON
died in the year 964 and was Margrave
or Marquis of Este. 1t is for this reason
that the royal house of Great Britain
has sometimes made use of the name
dEste, notably in the case of the Duke
OF Sussex, a younger son of King George
Ill, who gave the name of d'Este after
marriage to his morganatic wife.

Dreams Of My Boyhood.

Sitting last eve in my rocker,
Dreaming of the cares Of day,
l suddenly seemed to be lifted
And borne O'er the hills away
Borne on the swift wings OF magic
Oer mountain, dale and pam,
I'LL l saw the home of my DOynOOd,
In the dear old State OF Maine.
l seemed again in old Hermon,
That quiet, rural, sweet place,
1 thought was boy again
And could see each loved ones face.
The dear old place looked just the same
AS 1t did in days OF yOre-
The same old house and shed ana DARN
The same old cellar door,
Behind the house on the hillside
The same old orchard StOOd,
| Just back of that the pasture,
And farther away the wood.
The farm yard, too, looked Just the same,
The rack where the sheep I've fed,
The same old bars were in the fence,
The old pump under the shed.
In front of the house by the roadside
The two old elmS still stood:
Between them as in days OF yOre
There was pile of WOOD.
Bustling around in the kitchen
i COulu SEE lily lUOLuol
While she went about her duties
Her cheerful song l could hear.
Her voice, to me, was just as sweet
AS it was in days gone by.
But shall hear her sing no more,
And tear starts in my eye
Then we sat at the family table
Enjoying our nOOntime fare

The dOughnutS she used to make,
And the cookies, so delicious
And her apple pies and cake.

That did in days of yOre,
And l spake aloud as passed my plate,
AS reached to ask for more.

But it brought old recollections,
So real to me it did seem.

That many long years had passed,
And to me had brought sad changes,

Since l was boy the dear old home
Has been to the stranger sold
And many of those loved so dear
Now lie in the grave so cold.
Yes, near by the dear old homestead,
In the churchyard on the hill,
Mother and sister are laid away
In the grave so dark and still
From earthly scenes they've departed,
From cares and troubles at rest.
L know they are ever happy
In the land forever bleSt.
Four brothers have grown to manhood,
Each seeking for worldly gain;
Three are now in Western climes
And one in the State of Maine.

AS | turn to my boyhood again.
Fortune has smiled well upon me-
OF naught have to complain;
Y ct freely I'd give my possessions
| To return to boyhood again.
But that cannot be-nO, never
And thoughts like that are in vain;

GREAT SINGERS
FOR NEXT FALLS MUSIC FES.
TIVAL AT BANGOR.
-HEINcK, CAMPANARI, sU'
zANNE ADAMS, MACoNDA, MILES,
BACHELLER, OFTEN, BoUToN.

Director-in Chief w. r. Chapman, of
the Maine music festival, has announced
the soloists who are booked to appear at
| the great music festival to be held at
Bangor and Portland next October.
1t is the intention of the management
to have this first festival OF the new
century surpass in brilliancy and interest
the four that have preceded it.
Patrons of the festival will hail with
delight the announcement that among
the soloists are SchumannHeinc whose
glorious contralto voice so wholly won
the hearts OF all who heard her; Campa-
mari, whose brilliant baritone voice and
wonderful dramatic action took Maine by
storm; and Maconda and Miles, whose
names are already household words in
Maine.
None the less heartily will Maine greet
| the others, albeit they are new-Suzanne
Adams, the celebrated soprano, whose
praises are sung on two continents; Miss
Bouton, contralto; Mr.. Bachelor, tenor,
who, by the way, is a Maine boy, and
| Miss Annie E. Often, who is said to be
a violinist OF rare quality. The pianist
| is not yet decided upon.
| This galaxy of artists will be supple
| mented by the work of the Maine SYM
| phony orchestra, which is always strik-
| ing feature of the festival.
| And then the chorus! New local
choruses have been formed in several
towns in eastern Maine; some already
organized have increased their numbers,
80 that it is probable that the chorus at
Bangor will number from 900 to 1000
voices.
The dates of the festival at Bangor have
been fixed for Thursday, Friday and Sat
urdsy, October 3, and 8; the festival at
Portland will be held on the three days
preceding the concerts in Bangor. There
will be two matinees-Friday and Satur-
day afternoons, and three evening con-
certs.
The two long numbers will be Gounod's
Redemption" and Mendelssohn's "Hymn
of Praise". Each programme will be ar
ranged with view to making it interest
ing and popular throughout.
The Maine festival association has been
Incorporated; F. 0. Beal, of Bangor, is
