Happy Maine.

Prosperity is singing its song among
the pines of Maine. An era of electric
railway expansion is in full swing there.
Lines are spreading in all directions,
and the demand for timber has sent
forest valuation up, making a total
gain for assessment purposes OF Slo,-
100000. The granite industry is also
experiencing a boom, thanks largely to
New Yorks bridge building plans; and
on the coast 45,00O,oo0 lobster eggs have
been carefully harvested to the end
that the salad, broil and ''a la New
burg may not become vanished Joys of
the land
When it is added that the season at
Bar Harbor and other Maine resorts is
exceptionally hourishing, the picture of
prosperity is complete. Pine Tree
hearts are in happy condition for the
"Old Home Week of next month. -

A Well-K nown Schooner.

The schooner Thomas IIix is in the
stream, loaded with lumber. This an
nouncement means but little to those
unfamiliar with the marine affairs of
this port, but to old ship masters it calls
to mind the vista of years during which
the THOMAS Hix has been familiar
figure in Rockland harbor. On more
than one OCCASION before the building
of the breakwater, she has weathered
wintry hurricane at anchor in the har-
Dor. Many ship-captains famous in the
archives of local marine history have
trod her deck as master. The Thomas
Hix was built in Thomaston in lS47-55
years ago. In those days she was con-
sidered quite vessel, although not of
course ranking with the old-time clip
per ships, which have made Maine ship
building famous through the exploits
of the Red Jacket and others. 1t was
these considerations that caused the
Thomas Hix to be viewed with a large
amount of veneration yesterday. Her
dimensions are: Length, ia feet
breadth, 27.5 feet; depth, 50 feet; gross
tonnage, 90; net tonnage, 94.-ROck-
land Star, July23.
The Hix was recently in the packet
business between Belfast and Boston
under command of Capt. George F.
Ryan.

The Punlshments of a School.

When the John Worthy School of
Chicago was created there was no law
on the statute books prohibiting fog
ging. and SO the institution logged.
Soon society heard of it, raved, foment-
ed and sprinkled protests in the news
papers, and afternoon teas, appalled,
but not speechless, were agOg with in
dignation, and the great city council,
stirred by the femme tluster, put, as it
were, a gag on society's mouth by en-
acting an ordinance ma king corporal
punishment unlawful Then the solitary
cell, known otherwise as the solitary,
or vernacularly, as 1.-The hole came
into existence-solitary confinement for
one, two or three days, according to the
offense. But it was found that offenSeS
were committed for which solitary con-
fnement of any length of time would
be too severe, but which still ought to
be checked by proper reprimand. To
supply this want a new and peculiar
punitive device was contrived. In
course of time it became known as
''ploughing," a term suggestive of any
thing but prison life. This new punish
ment consisted of continuous walking
about the four sides of large rectangu-
lar hall, the walking being incessant
under watch of a guard, and of dura-
| ton sufficient in length to permit the
sufferer to hear at least one meal gong
to which he could not respond. d.-Thomas
A. Steep, in Leslie's Monthly for Au-
gust.

Death From Smallpox.

BANGOR, Me-, July "a Mrs. James
II. Bean of Somerville, Mass, died at
the home of Mrs. Mudgett, her mother,
in Hampden, Wednesday, of smallpox.
She was buried near the house, that
night, and the premises have been
thoroughly fumigated.
Mrs. Bean arrived at Thomaston
from Massachusetts on July ), and
came to IIampden 10 days ago. 1t IS
thought that she contracted the disease
in Some1ville. She was accompanied
by her two children and her husband is
also at Hampden, having been called
here by her illness.

places where they exchanged notes.
The new reporter would have nothing
to do with this arrangement, and so, by
choice, was thrown upon his own re-
sources He came into the Office on
one occasion about midnight, and when
he handed in his copy found that one
assignment that of reporting Sunday
school entertainment in the northwest
en part of the city, had not been at
tenOed to. When his attention was call
ed to the matter he said he had forgot
ten it, and before | could assure him
that it was of no special consequence
he was out of the office. He went some
two or three miles to the house of the
clergyman and succeeding in rOusing
the wife, informing her that he must
see her husband on important business.
He was admitted, shown to the library,
where the clergyman soon made his ap-
pearance and was induced to write a re-
port of the affair, with which he re-
turned to the office. This | can vouch
for but not for the story told by the
other reporters that he ascended the
pulpit of a church during the services
to ask the clergyman for the manu-
script of his sermon. A few years
later he became city editor of the
Gazette
My old friend Tom Hooper was so

Baltimore sun says in an obituary no

fact that he was the oldest newspaper

Olney too Old.
Sl4. w

Edward StanWood, editor OF the
Youths Companion, writes IN the New
Y ork Tribune:
If the Democratic party is to put for
President III 1904 it will find no better
than Richard Olney But there is one
point, which seems to have been over
looked IN considering his availability
his age, Mr.. Oney is not an old man.
He was born on September Il, 1885, and
Is therefore not quite slXty-seven years
old. But i'll 1904 he will be siXty-nine
and should he be elected and serve un-
til the end of his term, in 1909, he would
be more than Seventy-four years old. |
think | am correct in saying that neith-
er OF the great national parties ever
nominated for the Presidency man so
old as Mr.. Olney will be in 1904 The
oldest man ever elected President was
William Henry Harrison, who was
sixty-seven years old in 1910 Jackson
was sixty five when elected the second
time, in 1882: Buchanan was Sixty-tive
in 1876, and Taylor was sixty-four in
1S4S. The oldest candidates who were
not elected were Clay, sixty-seven in
ls44; Scott, siXty-seven, in 1852, and
CaSs, siXty-four in 1S4o. John Sher-
mans nearest approach to a nomina-
tlOn was in 1883, when he was sixty-five.
| do not recall any candidate for the
vice presidency who had attained the
least of the ages just mentioned, ex-
cept Thurman, who was eventy-tive
years old in 1888.

A somewhat novel case in law is like
ly to arise as the result of the severe
thunder storm July 18th. On that af-
ternoon Charles Vigue of Waterville
hired horse of c. H. Libby to go to
North Pond, where he is building sum-
mer cottage The horse was valued at
$500. The storm came up very sudden
ly and Mr.. Vigue hitched the animal to
a tree and started for cover. A bolt of
lightning came and struck the horse,
killing him instantly. A law suit may
result for the recovery of the value of
the horse, although Mr.. Vigue claims
he is not responsible for the action of
the elements.
