J.P. B. wheeIden Dead.

John b. p. Wheelden, the weil-known
Bangor horseman, who has been seen at
almost every meeting on Ellsworth tracks
for several years past, died suddenly at
the Eastern Maine general hospital FRI
day morning, after short illness from
appendicitis.
Mr.. Wheelden was born in South Or
rington sixty-one years ago, and lived
there for some years working as butcher.
Afterwards he came to Bangor and opened
a livery stable. Gradually he became we'll
known as good judge of horse flesh, and
as q natural result he got to driving in
races.
His first race was driven about 1868, and
the first horse that he drove was atrotter
known as Right Bower, owned by Col.
Chaplin, OF Bangor, and which had been
used by Col. Chaplin in the army. This
horse Mr.. Wheelden gave a mark of "a,
which was very fast time for those days.
Another famous horse that Mr.. Wheel
ton Girl. He gave her trial mile in 2 20,
and she had a race mark OF 25A. This
horse WAS sold to parties to take to France,
Mr.. Wbeelden receiving $1,000 for her.
The mare died soon after reaching France,
and before she had taken part in race.
He also owned the famous PAGER Daily
News, 220.
Among other horses which he owned
or drove during his career were: Gen.
Sherman, G. L. Fox, May Queen, ElgiD,
Oddmark, Perhaps, Potato Bug, Oc-
tavius, Scooter, Capt. Half, Blue Grass,
Major Griffin, Telegraph, Daniel Boone,
Andy Johnson, Elmo, Honest Fermer,
Bully Brooks, Pembroke and Ellsworth
Maid

Hannah (Gay) Ellis, and was born in

to sea, going considera bly, with bis uncles
the Captains Gay. In the early sixties
he went to China. In China, in Japan,
and in the adjacent waters he has spent
many years. Last summer he returned to

John Marshall Day.

Judge l.. A. Emery, OF Ellsworth, pre-
sided at the exercises of the Penobscot
county bar i'll the courthouse at Bangor
on Monday, to commemorate the CEN
tenniai anniversary OF the accession of
John Marshall to the chief justiceship OF
the United States.
Commenting on the remarks of Judge
Emery in taking the chair, the Bangor
Commercial says they were delivered
with that easy grace which has won for
the senior associate justice the reputation
of being one of the best and most eloquent
speakers in his section of the country
"There is no better thing in this life
than justice,' said Judge Emery in OPEN
ing. "The fatal sting in the evils of life
is their injustice. Famine and pestilence
may bring great physical suffering, but
they do not kill the soul. Ii wealth,
health and friends are taken from US by
mere misfortune, without wrong, that
loss can be borne. Misfortunes do not
strike at the soul. We can bear them,
even with serenity, but injustice we cam
cot bear"
Judge Emery then described how JUS
tice had been sough ht for ever since this
world began, and how those great men
who have developed the principles of JUS
tice and who have helped to give mankind
what it most desires and needs are deserv-
ing of triumphal arches and every form
of tribute. He said in closing:
"The centenary of John Msrshalls ao-
cession to the supreme court of the
United States is celeb ebrated this day, nos
with gorgeous procession, laundering
cannon, shouting muititudes, but tran
GULLY and more fittiDgIy, in quiet COURT
tures and wherever else reason and love
of justice should hold sway. We have
assembled here to-day for that purpose
in this old familiar courtroom and in the
city Of Names only law school. As one
born in this county, bred to the law ia
this city, admitted to this bar before this
desk nearly forty years ago, / accept with
pleasure the honor and duty or presiding
on this occasion"

The little drama ga Love of Bonnet
was presented at the Unitarian vestry last
Thursday evening, by Mrs. w. II. Titus
class of the Sunday school. Owing to the
storm the attendance was small. Several
who were to take part in a short musical
programme preceding the play were
unable to be present. There was piano
solo by Margaret Dresser.
Thecast of characters in the play wss
as follows:
Mrs Clipper, q widow......... Mary Mcfarland
Kitty Clipper, her daughter. Marion Wyman
Mrs Fastone, a fashionable lady ELLA Nealley
Dora Fastone, her daughter. Helen Cousins
Aunt Hopkins very iBquisitive....E la Morang
Kate Doolan, an Irish maid. Ida Higgins
The parts were we'll taken. There are
many iaughable situations in the play,
which the audience was quick to appre-
ciate.
At the suggestion of many Of those pre-
sent, owing to the small attendance, it is
probable that the play will be repeated
later, with musical programme.

LAUNCHING OF THE OHIO.
The President Sees the Ohio Glide Into
 the Water.

The President Sees the Ohio Glide Into
 the Water.
 San Francisco, May 18.-The inn provement in Mrs. McKinley's 'condi- tion was so great this morning that the president decided to attend the launch ing of the battleship Ohio. This event was one of the chief objects of his visit to California.
 Miss Mary Barber, thes presidents niece, her distinguished uncle standing by her side, pressed button, which by the use of electricity started the ship down the ways. At the same mo- ment Miss Deshler, the sponsor, broke a bottle of wine over the bow and cried:
 T christen thee Ohio!"
 The vessel slid with slow stateli- ness down the ways, and great cheer broke forth from the crowd. The presi- dent and members of the cabinet waved their hats, and all the steam whistles in the harbor and in San Francico blew for five minutes.
