ONE OF THE "oLD GUARD"
Notable Career of Former Maine
Citizen.

Hon. John H. Rice of Chicago, who
is, now visiting friends in Augusta was
an intimate friend of the late James
w. Bradbury and James c. Blaine and
although Sc years of age is as brisk
and energetic as a much younger man.
Mr.. Rice is a member of the "old
guard" of 1856. who helped to create
the Republican party. He was dele
gate from the Bangor district of Maine
to the Philadelphia convention which
formulated the platform on which the
Republican party was constructed and
on which General John c. Fremont, the
pathfinder was the first candidate
to stand for the presidency. One
other Of the Maine delegation is still
living besides Mr.. Rice, and that is
former Governor GarceloE.
For three terms Mr.. Rice served in
congress from the district he represent
ed in the Philadelphia convention. He
was first elected to congress in 1861.
and served till 1867. during the period
of the war. He was born in Mount
Vernon. Kennebec County, Me-, in 1876
That was when Maine was a part of
Massachusetts. When the boundary
war with Great Britain threatened in
1858 he served on the staff of General
Bachelor. who commanded the Maine
militia, and marched up into the
northern pineries and occupied the
disputed territory. The threatened war
was averted by recourse to arbitration
and the militiamen marched back.
He was educated in the common
schools. served as clerk to the register
of deeds when he was 16 years old, and
then served as deputy sheriff and stud
led law. and was admitted to the bar.
He drifted into politics and had the dis
tinction of being one of the delegates
to the Philadelphia convention.
THE divisions in the Wing party on
the question of slavery disrupted it,
he said land the Philadelphia conven-
ton was the result. The paramount
issue was the question of extending
slavery. The principal plank of the
PHILADELPHIA convention was opposition
to the extension of slavery"
For year Mr.. Rice has been making
his home at the Chicago Beach Hotel.
In the same hotel is another of the
delegates to that historic convention.
George Schneider. Neither knew Of the
other until Mr.. Rice read an article in
a Chicago paper relating Mr.. Schneid-
er's participation in the convention.
Mr.. Rice made himself known to Mr..
Schneider. and they had n long reunion.
For the past few years Mr.. Rice has
abandoned the practice of the law He
still holds and manages his railroad
interests. which are considerable. He
was one of the builders Of the Chicago
and Illinois River Railroad, which was
afterward absorbed by the Chicago and
Alton. He said he had not decided
whether he would go to the Philadel-
phia convention this year. His three
children are living in Chicago. They
are F. Willis Rice of the National Hotel

PLANTING LOBSTERS.
United States Fish Commission Dis
tributing Fry on Maine Coast.

The United States fish commission
schooner Grampus. Capt Hahn. and the
steam smack Carrie ard Mildred have
finished a trip down the Maine coast dis
tributing Holsters and other fry. The lat
ter Is now on another cruise along the
eastern coast of Maine. and will distri-
butte about 100000 between Rockland
and PASSPORT. All this fry will be left
beyond Rockland, as that section of the
coast had not been fully covered as yet.
Between Portland and Rockland or more
properly between Kennebunk and Rock
land. 30,OO0,000 have already been distri-
buted under the direction of the fish COM
mission schooner Grampas, 50 that this
section has been well cared for
During the season which commenced
April |, and up To the present time. $40
seed Holsters have been bought by the
commission from the fishermen of Port
land. and from the larger places along
the coast. This number of seed Holsters
has yielded 100000 eggs, Of which num-
Der 300oO.0o0 have been returned to waters
OF the coast as lobster fry. These have
been distributed all along the coast from
Kenncbunk to Eastport. as has already
been stated. The $1,000 seed Holsters have
also been returned 20 the waters. and
are therefore saved to continue their
work of propagating the lobster species
During the month of May alone, 2O,OOO,-
OI0 fry were distributed, and the season
throughout has been a most successful
one The Grampus commenced its work
April l. and will be through by the 10th
of this month.
The work of the fish commission is only
now being appreciated. and the lobster
as well as other fishermen. are assisting
the commission in every way possible. II
is a grand work which the latter is doing
and ii cannot but be commended for wha;
it has already done and for what it pro
poses doing.
The seed Holsters are bought from the
fishermen at high price, and after the
seeds have been striped OFF, they are re
turned to the water. Some of these lob
sters have been marked so as to identify
them IL they should be captured again
and the fish commission has come into
possession OF several which it had pre-
viously stripped. II has just come into
possession of one lobster that has been
caught for three seasons in succession.
The fish commission is arranging for a
hatchery at Boothbay Harbor. There

ont SD work, tits expected. will begin
soon hftSrI hew IS s6Ashment. The gov
eminent is'always~ Sow in acting on any
thing no matter how important. so it is
not expected that the hatchery will be
ready before a year. 1t seems, however
quite certain that it must be ready fol
business by next spring.
1t Is expected that Com'r Bowers will
soon be in Maine when he will go to
Boothbay Harbor to look over the
ground and prepare for erecting the new
hatchery.
