Charles Nichols.

In the death of Mr.. Charles Nichols.
which occurred in Boston on Aug. rs,
Augusta has lost one of the most loyal
of her absent sons. His youth was
passed in this city. Fond of adventures
and novelty, he determined to go to
sea, and while still a young man was
advanced to the responsible position
of captain.
Later in life, he moved his little
family to Chicago and was in bust
ness in this city at the time of the
great fire. when, like many others, he
lost all his worldly possessions.
Returning to New England, he set
tied in Boston and for many years was
president of an old, reliable insurance
company, a lucrative position of i'm
portance, and here he spent the re-
manning years of his life. His gentle
and loving nature made him the most
devoted friend in all the relations Of
life. Again and again, he brought
members of his family to their last
long sleep in our hillside cemetery, and
year after year returned to pay his
tribute of love and respect to their
quiet resting place.
So deep and tender was his love for
his family and friends, he was always
ready to devote himself to their in
terests, happy in the thought of
smoothing another's path.
He leaves a wife, four children and
a devoted niece, to grieve over the
separation and to rejoice in the blessed
memory of his beautiful life.
Funeral services will be held at his
home in Boston, Thursday afternoon,
after which the remains will be brought
to Portland to rest beside an infant
child

We're given the carriage drive about the
city by Congressman Burleigh as
planned, although the delay in starting
prevented the party from fully eniov-
ing the architectural and scenic beauty
of the Capital city of Maine, as some
of the members would like to have
done.
1t had been arranged to have the
carriages leave the Governors resi-
dence at $50 O'Clock, sharp, but it was
fully 10 minutes later before they
reached the State House, which was
the first objective point. Only a few
moments We're spent here.
President Roosevelt, accompanied nv
Gov. Hill. Congressman Burleigh and
the other gentlemen of the party
stepped into the building at the north
entrance. The President hastily passed
through the rotunda into the, office of
the secretary of State and into that of
the State treasurer, glanced around
each department, and then hurriedly
made his exit. and the carriages moved
on over the advertised route
1t was expected that the President
would surely go up stairs and visit the
Executive chambers, and several of the
State officials gathered there for the
purpose of paying their respects to the
nations Executive. They were disap-
pointed. however and failed to have
the opportunity of clasping his hand.

reached the State House entrance, ]. NJ.

door and opened it for the party TO

The President arrived at the Maine
Central station shortly before the time
appointed for his departure. Water
street was literally deserted save few
who remained to keep the places OF
business open while the others rushed
to the train for the purpose of showing
the President that they were still
pleased at his presence in the Capital
CITY. There was an immense crowd
about the depot and all gathered as
closely as possible to the train.
The Presidents party Immediately
went inside, accompanied by several of
the local committee. including Gov
ernor Hill and Congressman Burleigh.
AS he left the crowd the President was
wearing a smile that showed the ap-
probation which he had for the many
expressions of good will he had re-
ceived. The good humor which he was
| in was illustrated still more when the
crowd on the outside saw him laugh
heartily as joke was cracked by one
of his party.

When the party reached the Kenne-
bee Journal building, on its way
through Water street, the carriages
stopped and the President, Secretary
Cortelyou, Gov. Hill and Mr.. Burleigh
alighted and entered the office. Men,
bers of the force who were present in
the business and editorial departments
were presented to him, as were also
Mrs. Joseph Williamson, Jr., and her
son William. who CHANGED to be pres
ent at the time. The President was
much interested in the old historic desk
used by Mr.. Blaine when he was editor
of this paper nearly half a century ago,
and which occupies prominent place
in the Journal counting room, and
asked several questions regarding it.
Young Burleigh Martin, grandson of
Congressman Burleigh, who was in the
office at the time, was quickly recog-
nzed by the President, for he had seen
Burleigh at the White House in COM
pany with his grandfather during the
past winter.
After remaining a few moments in
the building the party again entered
the carriages. Before the carriages
started, however. the entire crew of the
establishment, from top to bottom,
men. women and boys, had gathered
on the sidewalk and, under the leader

after passing the residences of Mayor
Titcomb and Hon. ]. H. Manley. They
then returned to the depot.
Three times in course of his progress
through the city the Presidents car
riage was halted in order that the Chief
Executive might receive from tha
hands of little children bouquets. In
each case the floral gift was of sweet
peas. The President very gracefully
accepted the tokens.
