The Life of Hannah Weston.

We are indebted to the author, Geo. w.
Drisko of Machias, for copy of his book,
"The Revolution, Life of Hannah Weston
with a brief history of her ancestry" 1t
also contains condensed history of the first
settlement of .)onesborO, Machias and
neighboring towns. This is the second edi-
ton, the first edition, published in 1857
having been exhausted. The author was
for many years editor of the Machias I'm
ion, and has devoted much time and labor
to the collection of local historical matter
Machias was the scene of the first naval en-
gagement of the Revolution, i'm which, as in
later engagements, the sturdy patriots of
that section were victorious In 1859 a head
stone, appropriately inscribed, was placed
over the grave of Hannah Weston in Jones'
boro, mainly by contributions from her de-
scendants. A genealogy of the Weston fam
lily concludes the volume. The publisher is
George A. Parlin, Machias.

REsuBM1ssoN AND PROHIBITION.
DRY IN AUGC STA.

1t was never so hard to procure liquor in
Augusta as at present, and only those who
are acquainted can get 1t at all, and then
only by the bottle. No malt liquor is sold
and those who ought to know say that iqu-
or cannot be bought by the drink in the
city.-Plaisted' New Age.
MAINE HONOR AT HIGH PREMIUM.
There never has been time during the
history of our commonwealth when Maine
blood, Maine brains, Maine Drawn, Maine
integrity and Maine honor have been at a
higher premium in all the walks in life
than at the present time. and it looks some
what as though the enemies OF temperance
will have to content themselves to have if so
while longer.-Ihe Bethel News.

said that they are doing land office busl-
ness.
NO REAL CALL FOR REsUBMIsSIoN.
The New Age, with startling headlines,
states that ''Republicans refuse to trust the
people," because the Maine legislature
threw down Democratic reSubmisSion with
dull thud. The Age might have said the
people refuse to trust the Democratic party
They do this habitually in Maine. There
is no real call for the pet project Of Maine
Democrats-resubmisS 1t has figured
conspicuously in the Democratic platform
for the last three or four years. Yet the

full time last week. 1t had been on short

liver its orders. Mathews Bros. had the
contract for the windows, window frames,
doors and interior woodwork for the new
Penobscot county court house and the last

YACHTS AND BOATS.

E. L. Macomber has closed contract
with A. NJ. Daggett of Morrill, for 16-foot
launch to be equipped with Palmer gaso-
lene engine. The boat will be used at the
Northport Campground.
C.. F. Brown of Pulpit Harbor is building
for Dr. Richard Derby, summer resident
of Dark Harbor, a dOry, II feet long, which
| will be supplied with LOzier gasolene en-
gine.
The DecrOws have begun putting their
fleet in condition for the season. They will
make no changes in the rig or finish of any
of the boats this season. They have receiv-
ed all offer for the sloOp Alice B. from Cam
den parties and will probably sell her.
Bangor men who own sloops and launches
are getting them into condition to go over
board for the season. There will be several
additions to the local fleet this year, and
notable among them are the 3S-fOot launch
of W. C. Bryant and the 32-foot launch of
F. C.. Porter, both from Cobb Bros shop.

sold by her builder, L. E. McMaharI, to {.
W. Coombs, who transformed her into

Dexter parties. Mr.. COttrell is putting in

Horatio D. Crie of Criehaven is having
built at Port Clyde a 60-fOot slOop, which
will be fitted with 4O-hOrSe power gaso-
lene engine, and which will be used in col
lecting Holsters from the fishermen. The
sloop, which will be equipped with a patent
well, three staterOOms and numerous mod
ern convenences, will have guaranteed
speed of 10 miles an hour.
A cable from Glasgow to the New York
Tribune saws: 1.-THE new challenger differs
from the last one in many respects, and
marks reversion to the type illustrated by
Sir Thomas LiptOn's first boat. 1t has
greater beam than the Shamrock, is cut
away less, has about the same length, but
less draught, has a sharper bow, fewer
curving lines, and is a more seaworthy
yacht Whether it will be a better racing
machine remains to be proved. That it will
be a better boat than the first Shamrock, l
do not doubt, but l shall be surprised if it
were to beat either the Columbia or Sham
rock H. The tiller has been dropped and
wheel substituted"
A special to the New York Sun from
Rockland quotes Capt F. p. Weed of Deer
Isle as saying that there is no truth in the
report that the Deer Isle sailors refused to
ship in the cup defender Reliance, on ac-
count, as alleged, of i'll treatment on board
the Constitution. Capt. Weed has not yet
been asked to furnish men for the Reli iince,
but has had orders to furnish part OF a
crew for the Constitution. He thinks he
may be able to get dozen eligible men, but
most of the expert sailors are already filling
positions on yachts in various parts OF the
globe.

Mr. Stevens depicted many incidents of the

country dance with the best looking girl
and was followed by her angry ''steady"

stay at that house all night concluded Mr..

more than my rural pupils"
