MAINE AT ST. LOUIS.
l.. B. Goodall, chairman of the Maine
Louisiana purchase exposition commit
tee, is working hard to secure the pass
age of the resolution relating to an
appropriation for a Maine exhibit at
| st. Louis.
This resolve was sidetracked on the
last day of the legislative session last
winter. The resolve calls for $40 600,
and Mr.. Goodall is in hopes that action
will be taken by the Legislature when it
| meets in special session in September
| to approve the revision of the statutes.
| 1t is generally felt that the failure of
| the resolution was somewhat of a dis
appointment to Gov. Hill, and that,
| while he IS noncommittal on the sub
ject now, he would really like to see it
, go through.
Mrs. Hill is st. Louis woman and
both have numerous friends in that
city. Naturally the governor would
like to go to the exposition in an official
capacity.
Mr.. Goodall believes that if Maine
fails to make good exhibit she will be
a heavy loser to Canada's profit in the
future.
STONINGTON AS SHIPPING PORT.
1t is not generally known that Ston-
ington stood fourth in Maine in the
amount of shipping last year. One hun
dred and twenty vessels left the john
L. GoSS stone quarrieS alone, carrying
on an average 400 tons of stone each, and
this year, to July 1, 81 vessels have
shipped cargoes from that quarry. From
the quarry of Ryan Il Parker about 175
have sailed in the same period, and
about 80 from M. G. Ryan & Co.'S
quarries, which were but recently open
ed-a total of about 400 vessels, which
carried 100, 900 tons of granite.
THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT G. A. R.
Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, depart
ment commander of the Maine g. A. r.,
has been notified by his physician that
it will be impossible for him to attend
the national encampment at San Fran
cisco next month. He has specially re-
quested ex-Gov. ROBBIE to 60 with the
Maine delegation, but Gov. Robe will
probably be unable to comply with the
request on account of pressing business
engagements Past Department Com
mander S. T. Snipe is planning to at
tend. A later report says that General
Chamberlain may be able to 60.
IT LOOKS LIKE COBB.
1t seems tolerably certain at this
stage of the proceedings, says the Bath
Times, that the successful one among
the present aspirants for the Governor
ship will be William T. Cobb of Rock
land who seems to be favored with the
preference not only of the leading Re-
publicans of this county, but also of
enough counties to make him the can
didate of the party and that is equiva-
lent to election. He will make a splendid
Govornor-energetic, capable, ornamen-
tai. His record is unblemished and his
character unquesti0ned.
