sent to the conduct of games. but Mrs
Michaels had not been consulted. and en-
tered protest. The judge of the superior
court decided that the consent of the
husband bound the wife. but the present
contention is that the verbal consent of
the husband could not affect the wifes
interests. without her written authority.

Mr.. Oliver Walker, the oldest resident
of Skowhegan, celebrated in an informal
way his arrival at the ninety-sixth mill
stone on his life journey on Saturday
last, the 10th instant.
Among the more elderly visitors to
Mr.. Walkers cosy and pleasant home,
where he is happily passing the evening
of a well-spent, honorable life, were Gen,
Isaac Dyer, John Weston, William H.
Fuller, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles W. Pullen,
George D. Arnold, Mrs. Helen Neil
Howard, Mrs. Silas Church tnearly 80
years of age), Mrs. F. A. Williams,
Benjamin Flagg, Mr.. aud Mrs. Frank A.
Russell, Mrs. Ada Church.
The reception hour In the afternoon
was passed 10 singing old tunes and In
the relation of "reminiscences. Mr..
Walker and Gen. Dyer joined In singing
"Boylston," "Our days are as the
grass" aud the host and Mrs. Helen
Neil Howard sang the words "There is
rest for the weary" and THUS far the
Lord has led me on to the tunes to
which the lines are set In the note books
of long ago.
The "reminiscences of years long gone
were exceedingly interesting and the
host and guests were as jolly as an equal
number of people one-fourth their years
would have been.
Numerous letters of congrstulation
were received by Mr.. Walker from
friends, far and near. Among these
was a card from his great-grandson,
Warren York OF Washington. He also
received large bouquet of pinks and
ferns from his daughter, Mrs. circuit,
and granddaughter, Mrs. York, of
Washington.

Mr.. Walker is a man without an all
ment. His general health is excellent,
his digestion perfect and he takes his
full quota of sleep. He goes out OF
doors nearly every day, and the day
before this anniversary, took pleasure in
removing snow from the path leading
from the street to his door to admit his
friends to his home. His good number
of years have II anything added to bis
genality. He takes a keen interest In
public affairs, particularly in the welfare
of his townsmen and friends, and they
have warm place in their hearts fol
