high position, and is known all over the
State. He is to be found on one side or
the other OF most OF the important cases
tried In Hancock county and has a large
and lucrative practice.
Mr.. Hamlin has always been a republic
can in politics, and in recent years has
become recognized as a very strong po-
litlcal figure, leading politicians saying
frequently that he is destined to high ad-
vancement.
He represented Ellsworth in the lower
branch Of the legislature in the session Of
1898 and again In 1895, the latter year as
House chairman OF the committee on
judiciary. He was elected to the Senate
from Hancock county in 1899 and again in
1891, when he was elected presiding officer
without opposition.
Mr.. Hamlin served as judge advocate
general on the staff OF Gov. Powers, and is
now serving his second term in the same
position on the STAFF OF Gov. Hill. He is a
mem Der OF the republican State commit
tee, a Trustee OF Colby college, and has
been member of the committee on uni
formity OF legislation since its inception.

there are local candidates, but it Is be-
from these counties, particularly Penob-
scot, where he has relatives and many
friends. He passes much of his time in
Bangor and has a very wide personal ac-
quaintance tnere.
Mr. Hamiin was born in Hampden,
Aug. 20, 1858, and thus is forty four years
OF age. He is son of the late Hannibal
Hamlin, vice president of the United
States, 1851 1866, and OF Ellen v. Emery
Hamlin, daughter OF Hon. Stephen
Emery, Of Paris, Me-, prominent as
district judge, and also, be it noted, as
attorney general.
Mr.. Hamlin received his early education
In the public schools OF Bangor, prepared
for college at the Waterville, now the
uated from Colby university in 1879. He
at once commenced the study of law and
attended the Columbia law school In
Washington and the Boston university
law school, being graduated from the lat
ter in 1882.
He was admitted to the bar in Waldo
county in January, 1888, and at once coz.
meneed the practice OF his profession in
Ellsworth, entering the law firm OF Hale
q Emery. which then became Hale, Emery
q Hamlin. In the fall of 1888 Mr.. Emery
retired from the firm, and from the prac.
tice OF law. having been appointed to the.
supreme bench. Since that time the
business has been conducted under the
name of Hale & Hamlin, Senator Hale

Letter to q. B. Stuart,
ELLSWORTH.

Dear Sir; Here's what "wears longer" means.
ID. T. MoGown, Cooperstown, n. Y, built a
house In 's5 and painted Devoe. The paint
lastcd'ten years.
A year or two later, neighbor built house
and painted 1t lead and oil. The neighbours
house was repainted twice in the same time.
This looks as II the neighbours house was
painted three times in eight or nine years, and
mcGown's once In ten years. We are not quite
sure-we tell the tale as 1t comes to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe Lead and Zinc
lasts twice as long as lead aud oil alone. The
reason is White lead is soft and chalks on;
zinc is hard and when thoroughly ground into
the lead, prevents Its chalking and makes It
more durable. Yours truly,
II. w. DEvoE & Co,
Is New York.
P.S. wIGGIs h MOORE sell our paint.

SEMINARY NOTES.

SEmiNAh1
The baseball season has been success
financially so far this season, and Man
sger Fellows is to be congratulated for
making both ends meet. The game
played with U. OF NJ. second team showed
that T. 8. Bridges has some good curves,
and the seminary boys feel comfortable in
the fact that with Briggs they now have
two good pitchers.
York, who pitched for Freedom
academy at Bucksport on Saturday, was
an easy mark for the seminary sIuggers,
and had 1t not been for the good support
he received the score would not have been
eto2 Briggs was In usual good form,
and gave the visitors but one hit.
Next Saturdays game will be with the
Bucksport locals, who will have a strong
battery with Robinson and Montgomery.
The growing enthusiasm over the COM
ing alumni reunion at commencement is
quite manifest. Former students 10 Ban
gor and W nterport are planning to run
an excursion to Bucksport on the night OF
the concert, and 1t Is thought that at least
hundred will come by boat.

hand. that had been resting upon the
back Of a chair, closed with a sudden,
cOnvulsive movement and ripped one
of the wooden rungs out of it's fasten-

and examined the break in the chair.

Alden tapped his broken chair as IL
it had represented the individual to
whom Elmendorf had vaguely referred.
THAT doesn't let him out. however,
he said. But tell me what can do
for you"
did you have some dealings at one
time with firm of the name of How
ard & Bain?''
Il believe did" replied Alden.
''They failed and skipped"
"Have you. any documents bearing
the firms signature by either partner?''
asked Elmendorf.
"Yes: have one" said Alden. but
l don't know just where it is. I'll look
through my desk. .John"-addressing
Robinson. who sat in his usual place
do you know where that contract is?'
Robinson replied in the negative, and
Alden pulled out the contents Of some
drawers and pigeonholes in a vain
search. Finally he came to one little
drawer which Mr.. Elmendorf had once
opened.
Here's the contract" he said, "and-
Hello. here's something Of yours,
John"
And he tossed an envelope across to
Robinson's desk. Robinson glanced at
it hastily and put it into his pocket.
Elmendorf appeared to be busy with
the old contract which Alden had
handed to him. and. having received
permission to keep it for few days.
he put the useless document into his
pocket.

Mr.. Willett to come in hereY"
Willett was the firms accountant.

The last words were addressed to q
youth in uniform who had answered
the doctors ring. Kendall gave him
some money and whispered to him near
the door. When he turned, as George
departed. he saw Elmendorf standing
rigid. with his blue eyes unusually
wide open.
What do you want of two white
mice?" he demanded.
Really. now Kendall began.
Look here" interrupted Elmendorf
IF there's anything of that kind GO

girls sake. don't do it. DOCTOR
Kendall bit his lips and hesitated.
Then he said suddenly. as steps were
heard in til" hall:

his own peculiar fashion. with his eyes
on the doctor.

to be anxious. you were so long away.
But what you've said has made me

to try to get some light Oh Mr.. Robin

I'll telephone to your office and one or
two other places and see if l can get

is his house. Wait there for me. I'll
join you before 3D.
This arrangement was agreed upon,
and the two men went out together.

phone for half an hour. but he failed
