Death of Maj Smith.

Major Joseph l.. Smith, whose death
occurred the 9Th inst, was one of the
best known men Of the state. His life
has been series of enterprises and for
the whole length of his long life be has
been closely connected with the growth
of his town and city, Old Town.
Joseph Locke Smith was born in Pal
myra, Me-, Nov. 80, 1877, one of the nine
children of Asa and Mary j. GOWN
Smith. His early years were spent up.
on the farm of his father and in attend.
ance upon the village school. When he
was seven years of age, his father re-
moved to Bangor where the family re-
manned for year.
Joseph attended the village school for
short time, but being ambitious for a
somewhat higher education, when 10
years OF age he was sent to Charleston
Academy for year and year at the
academy in China completed his educa-
ton. AT the age of II he started out in
life for himself, although all through his
life he was considerable of a student and
reader and always conversant with the
affairs of the day. He commenced at
the bottom to learn the lumber business,
from the tree to market, and much OF
his success In after years was due to the
fact that he knew from actual experience
what it meant to explore, chop, swamp,
haul drive, raft and manufacture lum-
Der. He was engaged In the lumber
business for 43 years.
Although Maj. Smith was engaged in
business enterprises, he found time to
enter into public life to a considerable
extent. He was an early member of the
Republican party. He served three
terms in the state legislature In 1861, in
the house of representatives and in 1862,
1872 and 1873 in the senate.
When the Greenback principles first
obtained, Maj. Smith became convert
to that political doctrine and 10 1873 he
was nominated for governor of the state
on the National Greenback ticket but
was defeated by Seldom Conner, Repub.
lican.
In 1879, Maj Smith was again chosen
as the standard bearer of his party and
gained 5000 votes over the preceding
year. This was the famous "count-out"
campaign of history, Daniel r. Davis be.
ing elected by the Legislature after nc
election was declared.
Major Smith derived his military title
from his appointment during the first
year of the war to the staff of Major
General james Fl. Butler of Bangor
commanding the First Division of the
State militia,

New Hampshire Method.

This is the way they do it in Ports
mouth, N. Fl, and it seems to us to be a
pretty sensible way and that ought to
work well with the violators VI any law
In the criminal code in any state:
City Marshal Entwistie, acting under
orders of the local police commissioners,
Saturday notified the proprietors of all
saloons and places where liquor is sold,
not to open their places, Tuesday morn
ing, and from that time to remain out OF
the liquor business. The order is the
result of the efforts of local temperance
societies, based on the recent decision of
Judge Peaslee. When the new order
takes effect it will be the first time in
the history of Portmouth when beer and
liquor have not been publicly dispensed.

alone, with broken health. She has
been brave and cheerful, loving the
flowers sent her, and chcrishing the
friends who did not forget her, "Wen
done, good and faithful servant" ser

Nj, Markley, officiating, The body
rests in the tomb awaiting burial IN the

An important movement on the part
OF certain enterprising American buSi-
ness men has recently been made public.
1t consists in the securing of all-water
routes for American cargoes of grain
and other commodities from inland ports
in the United States to inland ports OF
Europe and embraces the purchase by
American capital of several British and
other canals. Frank w. Hawley, vice
president of the Erie Canal Traction COM
pany,l has been on the other side several
months quietly securing concessions for
the operation of European canals by cleo
tricity and has secured control of
about 5000 miles of canals in Eng
land and on the continent. AS result,
cargoes will shortly be shipped on the
same bill of lsding from Duluth, Mimi,
to Brussels, Client and Cologne and later
to many points in the United Kingdom,
France, Germany and Italy, which have
hitherto been reached only by means of
railroads. This will be of great advan-
tage in the shipment of grain and other
American products and shows that our
business interests are being pushed with
energy.
