Tuesday was the anniversary of the
birthday of a great man, Abraham
Lincoln, the 10th president of the
United States. Struck down by the
hand of an assassin in the zenith of his
power, when victory had come to the
armies of this country, nearly SO years
ago, time increases and strengthens the
reverence in which his work and men,
DRY are held by the American people.
As we go farther from the days 10
which he lived, as the events of his
time and the supreme acts of his life
are studied more thoroughly and under
stood better, the estimate placed upon
the deeds of Lincoln is such as serves
10 increase rather than detract from his
greatness of character. Great goodness
of heart, and honesty of purpose per-
vaded his every act, and his memory is
dear to every patriot of the great nation
he so effectively labored to save and
perpetuate. The day was well observed
in many places in our country.

President Mckinley has made it pos
sible for three generations to be repre-
sented in the navy by the appointment
of the grandson of the oldest living re-
tired rear-admiral to cadetship at the
Naval Academy. There was only one
at.large vacancy at Annapolis, this year,
for the President, and he has filled it by
selecting the younger son of Rear
Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge, Jr. The
young mans grandfather is Rear Admir-
al Thomas o. Selfridge, who was retired
from active service in 1866 aud Is now
nearly 100 years old. His son, Rear-
Admiral Selfridge, Jr., was retired three
years ago for age.

Il have Just returned from a trip
through Hancock county" said boot
and shoe drummer to Portland
Express reporter. The one thing
that impressed NE is the extent of the
smelt fishing now being carried on in
the bays and inlets. Why, they tell
me at Surry more than $4,000 worth
have been taken during the past 30
years Instead of building shanties as
they do in this part Of the State, the
fisherman UP that way sci tents on the
ice. They heat these tents with little
stoves and light them with lanterns
They cut hole in the ice about six
feet long and eight inches wide and the
way an expert smell fisherman can
keep them coming with six lines is
something astonishing. One man has
been known 10 catch loo pounds in less
than an hour. You see that means at
least 900 fish or about l. minute.
The men have made as high as SIS to
$50 in a day but of course those are
exceptional eases.

well of Mr.. Hall as they have endorsed
his candidacy To succeed Mr.. Boutelle.
His efficiency as clerk of the committee
and in looking after the interests of the

course. 1t is understood Mr.. Hall will

Uncle Scion Chase OF Chase's Mills
laughs at the medical authorities of
West Point, who rejected him so years
ago as consumptive with but few
years to live. The doctors, the Boston
Herald thinks, cannot kick at his ex-
posure of them, as they are probably
all dead and gone. Uncle Solon's case
is analogous to that of Hon. James W.
Bradbury of Augusta, recently deceased
at nearly 98 years of age. He Is report
ed to have said, few years since, that
he attributed his longevity to the fact
that he was informed in his early
manhood that he had an incurable
disease. The man of robust health is
likely to take risks and expose himself
to hardships, that one who has an idea
ne must husband his physical resources,
will not. Those of robust or delicate
physique cannot afford to subject
themselves to needless exposure.

Portland Argus. The report of the
congressional committee on hazing at
Vest Point, shows that they mean
business. They expose and denounce
the brutaities practised at the academy
with merciless severity and recommend
expulsion OF all cadets hereafter guilty
OF it, and disqualifications from hold
ing any commission in the United States

but will prove effective and ought to be

Sheriff Pearson of Cumberland county
does not approve of the radical and de-
structive campaign of Mrs. Carrie Ma
lion, who is now operating in Kansas.
The sheriff believes her method is cal
culated to injure the cause of temperance
and to create public sympathy for the
saloon men. He would not tolerate
such crusade II an attempt should be
made to introduce 1t N Portland. He
holds that those who are asking for the
enforcement of law should not be law
breakers. He has no sympathy what
ever with the latest western movement
In this Sheriff Pearson is correct. One
form of violation of law is not a remedy
for any other form of law-breaking.

simply beat Tommy West down.
Tommy Ryan received the decision
over Tommy West in the seventeenth
round of their fight. after Terry Nc
Govern had tossed up the sponge in
Vests behalf, to save him from fur
ther punishment, which the shifty Sy-
racusan was sending in mercilessly on
his less clever, but game and willing
opponent. 1t was the hardest bout
that has yet been seen there, the men
squirting blood from the third round
on. and spilling more gore than has
ever been seen in a Louisville ring.
Most of the time their bodies were
dyed red with flued that came from
Vests battered nose, but was added
to from Ryan's split lip and cut eye
So fierce was the work that in the
ninth round Captain Schneider. of the
local police force, stepped to the ropes
and stopped the bout. He explained
afterward that West had Ryan's head
under his arm and Ryan's tongue was
hanging out, so he wanted Referee
Hurst to break them. The men fought
Queensbury rules. Ryan
showed up beside West like racer
