Josiah w. BANGS.

Josiah w. Bangs died at his home
on Winthrop street, at eight o'clock.
Yesterday morning. Mr.. Bangs had
been III poor health for some two years
but was able to attend to his business
affairs until last February, when he
suffered a severe attack of the grip.
The effects fingered with him until
they brought on Il complication of dis
eases, prominent among which was
asthma About five weeks ago he
found himself obliged to remain in the
house, and was confined to it until his
death, yesterday morning.
Mr.. Bangs was the son of Josiah ID.
Bangs and Paulina a. Brooks, daugh-
ter of John Brooks, and was born IN
Augusta, on the East Side, in 1850. Ills
education was received in the Little
Blue School at Pennington. When
the Civil War broke out, Mr.. Bangs
was ready to serve his country, and he
was a member OF the Sd Maine regi-
mental band until the band was mus
tered out in 1862. While he did not
see extended service, he carried the
effect of his army hardShips all his lie.
! Mr.. Bangs was always an active G. a.
| r. man. was a member of the Maine
| Eegimental Association, and at one
| time its vice president. He was com
! mander of Seth Williams Post in 1902
| in the winter of which year the Post
| entertained the Department OF Name
| here. He had also been quartermastei
| sergeant and was chaplain at the time
| Of his death Mr.. Bangs was Il man
| of great enthusiasm and energy in this
work. as in everything else, and has
done much for the C. A. r. in Maine.
AS q business man. Mr.. Bangs was
I the same quiet, forceful man, never
discouraged and never idle, though he
was burned out four several times
and had to begin with nothing, each
time. During all but u years Of his
life, he was engaged in the lumber
| manufacturing business, and with his
| brother. A. S. Bangs Of Bangor
| formerly owned the plant in this
city now occupied by Lawrence, New

Nj. Bangs was always an active
church worker, and was member o
the Baptist church. He was especially
interested, wherever he went. in Sun
day-school work. In politics, he was :
staunch Republican, though he wa
never an active politician: and on
marked feature of his character is tina
he never sought Office of any sort HI
was always modest and retiring, 10y
ing his home better than anything else
and the honors which canle to hin
were obliged to seek him.
In losing Mr.. Bangs, Augusta ha
lost one of her strongest, most re
snected and influential citizens, MAJ
of sterling worth who will be misse'
as he passes on to join the great En-
campment.

In the course of the hearing before
the Joint special committee on salaries
and fees. Yesterday Insurance Com
missioner Carr made the statement
that in connection with farm insurance
he had al; avs advocated an annual
policv; th;t is policies which should be
in force for but one year at time, be
ing renew "a every year. There We're
many reasons for this. he said. Farm
property hanged in value more rapid
~ than in the cities and towns and,
again, the annual policy was easier
for IT, assured as he did not have to
pay out 50 much for insurance at Il
time. as on policies which ran for q
term of years. Most of the companies,
said the commissioners, now use these
annual pc'icies entirely for their farm
business.
One cor pany which does a large
business in farm insurance has paid
out in the last year $101 for every $10c
| that it 20 k in. This caused the com
missioner 10 believe that if it was no:
for the gr lnge and mutual companies
| of the far ners themselves they would
have but little insurance, unless they
| paid Il very great rate.
| The ioiNt special committee on sal
| aries and fees were in session all day
| Wednesd; y, and will continue to be

STATE HOUSE.
New Militia Law Reviewed By
Experts.
Mutual Insurance Companies Save
The Farmers.
Something About the Work OF the Cat-
tie Commissioners.

The August number of the North Amerl-
can Review gives some attention to the
new national law relating to the militia
under which the forthcoming maneuVers
around Portland are to be held There
are two articles. one by Lieut.-Col. james
Parker. Acting Assistant Adjutant-Gener-
al of the army. and the other by Con-
gresham I;sch. VINO served seven years
in the National Guard. Both articles are
worth reading and will help to q better
understanding of what Congress has done
to brine: the State Militia into close rela-
ton with the National Government.
I.ieut.-Col. Parker brings out very clearly
the salient points of the new law, ana
their excellence in such that the lay read
ar,s mind is Allied with establishment tina
the old act of 1893 should have been al
lowed to exist for over . century.
The main purpose of the new law is to
hiring. the National Guard of the country
to y close resemblance in formation and
driu TO the REGULAR army and to give
the President mower to employ this props
erlv preparcd force for the national de
fence when the occasion shall arise. In
other words, instead of having to wait till
Volunteer regiments can be organized,
mustered in and drilled, the President
will have til. power to order the National
Guard into service for "A period not longer
than nine months Meanwhile Volunteer
regiments can be formed and got ready
for service and the law provides plan
for furnishing them with officers who
h8vd Eeradu1ted from either the army or
.l.
"A fine fed for the service of retired
Farny officers is provided by this law.
which requires the National Govern
ment to detail officers as observers of
thet work Of the militia, while every IN
|centive will be offered to ambitious young
men to enter ths National Guard IN the
hope of rising to the dignity OF Volunteer
commands. The law makes it possible Tor
any man who has served in the army, the
Volunteers or the Guard, or mas been IN
Istructeds at a military school By an army
officer, to ass an examination before an
army boafL and' to be listed as qualified
for an ofiiccr'ef NoltlhteerS. Inns feature
of the law suggests the employment OF a
similar plsa for the organization OF the
much discussed national naval reserve.
The new law further provides for the
arming OF the National Guard with the
same type of rifle as the army uses ana
for the SUI ply of ammunition for it. 1t

Charles Carroll, the Patriot.

An interesting and rather quaint
piece of Jacksoniana has been sent to
the Springfield Republican by w. H.
Whitcomb, of Northampton, who was
reminded of it's existence in his COL
lection of material relating to Andrew
Jackson by the recent paragraph con-
corning the unwilling Of statue to
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, in the
national capitol at Washington. Car
roll, the last survivor of the men who
signed the Declaration of Independ-
ence, died in the administration Of
President Jackson, and it is copy of
the order that Jackson issued an
nouncing Carrolls death that Mr..
Whitcomb has sent us. Richardson's
Messages and Papers of the Pres
idents'' does not contain it, showing
that the document was not a message
to Congress. The order reads as fol-
lows:
The last survivor of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence, he
who for many years was the last pre-
cious relict of the band of July 4, 1916,
is no more. The death of Charles
Carroll. of Carrollton, is announced to
us. The triumph of the grave over
this living monument of our nations
birthday, around which the gratitude
and affection of a nation loved to
gather, will be the signal for a nations
mourning. AS mark Of respect due

and with an immense fortune left by
that dignitary. In 1856 he was sent
to Vienna as Spanish Ambassador En-
traordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, and while in Austria intrigued
successfully to bring about an attach
ment between the young King Alfonso
NH. and the Grand Duchess Chris
tina, now Queen of Spain. When that
monarch made Christina his second
wife, the Duke of Tetuan's position at
court was assured. In Canovas' first
administration he became Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, a post for which his
long experience as ambassador had
eminently fitted him. He has occu-
pied the foreign Office, whenever Can
ovas was prime minister, since then.
A rigid conservative, he is popular
with all classes, and will be Canovas'
natural successor for the prime min
istership whenever that famous states
man passes away or retires.
The Duke of Tetuan married in
1868, and has three sons-Don Juan
Patricio O'Donnell, born in 1864; Don
Carlos Alfonso O'Donnell, born in
1869, and Don Leopoldo .Patrico o.
Donnell, born in 1874. One of these
men is now serving as aide-dc- camp to
Gen. Weyler in Cuba.
The journal of the Royal Irish So
ciety of Antiquaries, on October G,
1890, published the following letter
from the Duke of Tetuan.
"NTy ancestor, Mall Gary O'Donnell,
was the last recognized prince of Tyr
connell and chief Of his name. AS
his lineal male representative, 1 claim
the heirship of those homors. If am
proud of being Spaniard by birth,
am quite as proud of icing an Irish
man by descent, and | sign myself
Carlos O'Donnoll of Tyrconnelr with
as much heartfelt exaltation as l do
Tetuan."
The Duke is an honorary member of
the learned Irish body tn which he
wrote this letter. 1t is said OF him,
i'll circles diplomatic, that for years he
constantly refused the ambassador
ship to England because of the
wrongs which, he declared, had been
inflicted upon his ancestors by Eng
land and her sovereigns.

Of euchre clubs that have fiourished

Lovers Of the game are, however,
advocating change in the system of
scoring. They believe that the compu-
tation should be by points and not by
games, as is the custom at present.
Point euchre they claim, is the only
fair way in which to play the game, as
each player receives credit for all
points made at each game, and this
method is adaptable for progressive

the players have the number Of points
made recorded on their respective

How to Breathe Correctly.

1t is strange that so necessary a
practice is performed so inadequately.
The newborn infant knows how to
breathe. and many reach adult years
without extending their first knowl-
edge. Breathing simply to exist is
one thing, breathing to live, in it's
fullest sense, is quite another.
Deep voluntary, conscious breath
ing is productive of far different
physique than the feeble, involun-
tary respiration which retains a hold
upon existence.

pair of lungs is like the dead air in
an unventilated cellar.

His Memory Was Good.

A law suit had arisen out Of a dis
pute about right-of-way, and the
counsel for the landlord, who was the
defendant, was cross-examining a ven
cradle laborer who had testified that
to his own personal knowledge there
had been right-of-way over the dis
puted land since he was boy five
years old.
"And how old are you now?" asked
the lawyer.
"Eighty-five."
"But surely you can't remember
things which occurred when you were
a boy of five, eighty years ago?" said
the lawyer in affected incredulity.
