Probably when the officers OF the
Maine Press Association decided to go
to the Maine coast for their annual ex-
cursion this summer, it never occurred
to anv of them that the weather might
be so cold as to be uncomfortable, but
that is what has happened.-Waterville
Mail.
1t was not the officers of the Associa-
ton. but the members, who decided by
vote at the annual meeting in January
that Rockland should be the objective
point of the summer excursion. 1T was
not possible then to forecast what the
weather would be; but as rule we be-
Geve that the best weather of the sea-
son is the latter part of June and the
first of July, and the excursion this
year was about a week earlier than
usual because the Samoset could best
entertain the party at that time. The
excursion committee was very capable
one. and their arrangements left moth
ing to be desired; but they could not ar
range the weather, and it is simply un-
fortunate that the week was stormy
and uncomfortable one.

A SEA FARER'S FATE.
He Encounters Perils at Sea only to he
Drowned at Home.

He Encounters Perils at Sea only to he
Drowned at Home.
Capt. Almon D. McLain of Bristol, whose
tragic death by drowning occurred May
10th, is the subject of an appreciative sketch
aid. He was born in the town of Sears
mont, Me-, in 1887 and was one of a family
of eight children. When boy his father
bought Johns Island, situated in Johns
bay, and after building house thereon
moved his family there in order that he
might pursue the Vocation vocation OF a sI nsnerman, n
speak, Capt. McLain naturally followed
that business for a livelihood, and was
soon recognized along the coast, from Cape
cod to Newfoundland, as highline fisher
man. At an early age he was in command
of a vessel, making several trips each sea-
SON to the Banks and usually returning
with full fares of fish. On one occasion
while tending travis on Quero Bank, his
| dory was capsiZed and he with his dOry
mate were. rescued after several hours
clingipg to the bottom of the boat, during
which time each succeeding sea threatened
to wash the men to their doom. On another
occasion while furling the flying .jib he
was washed off the iibboom while the yes
sci was making great headWay and was
picked up after the vessel had been hove to
| and a boat lowered Wnen SCeamDOatS
caine into use in the porgy business, Capt
| McI,ain, on account of his thorough knowl-
| edge of the habits and instincts of fish, was
| placed in command, and it was often re-
| marked that, "If man could get chance
| to 20 with AL McI4ain he was sure of a
good summers work"
Had Capt. McLain's business ventures on
land been attended with the same degree of
success that they were on the water he
might have retired years ago from active
business with competence, but such was
not the case His method of doing business
on shore was such that many people who
were SO disposed could easily take the ad-
vantage of him, and it is perhaps needless
| to saw that they we're not slow in taking ad-
vantage of this failing, if such it might be
| called. Capt. McLain possessed large and
generous heart, and no one in need of help
ever appealed to him in vain. He was ever
ready to do anything in his power to aid
those in distress.
| He was twice married. His first wife was
Miss Abigail Stinson, by whom he had four
children, three of whom are now living, Al
mon. resident of Marblehead, Mass. Iona,
who married John J. Wallace Of Damaris-
Gotta, and Alwilda, who married Captain
Charles A. Spr0ul of Pemaquid Beach.
Capt. McLain's second wife was Mrs. Jane
Clifford, who survives him:
1t seems singular that after spending
nearly a lifetime on the water and being
subjected to the dangers and perils OF the
sea. that the sea should claim him at last.
but such is the ruling of "Him that doeth
all things well"

APPLETON.

APPLEION.
A birthday surprise party gathered at the
home of Miss Evelyn Taylor Friday even
ing, bringing as present very pretty
toilet set. Ice cream and cake were served,
and very enjoyable program served to
make the hours pass only too quickly for
the twenty-seven young friends of Miss
Taylor who had planned this event ...M Mr..
+. Stickney of Searsport and Mrs Georgia
Tuttle of Belfast called on friends here
Sunday. Mrs. Ulie johnson and daugh-
ter of Bridgewater, Mass, are guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln johnson. Miss An
ME Stevens has returned from Pennington,
where she was student at the State Nor
NAL school. .. Miss Linda AnniS has moved
into rooms in Mrs. Frances Gushee's house.
-. Mr.. and Mrs. William Gay of Medway,
Mass, are guests of Capt. Frank Hall and
wife .. Miss Jessie Keating of Rock land is
in town.. :. Straw berries are being picked
and sent to market. Many of our strawber-
nv growers have contracted their berries
with Rockland dealers at 9 cents basket.
but those who have not sold are getting a
much higher price. Cyrus Perry has 24
acres set with plants which bid fair to pro-
duce big crop of berries next year. The
plants are looking finely. ..Mrs. Ben Kel-
Ter is seriously ill. Mrs. Lizzie Moody is
failing and but slight hopes are entertained
of her recovery.

The Rev. DR.. Macarthur in sermon
at Calvary Baptist church, New York,
last Sunday, on the spirit OF laWless-
ness as shown i'll recent lynchings and
other disorders in several States, said
his American pride had been severely
chastened by the events of the past few
weeks. No one who knew him, he said,
would doubt his Americanism, however,
and he had no sympathy with those for
eigners who come here and live happily
but who refuse to assume the response
bilities of citizenship. Several persons
in the congregation started for the door
at this point and the preacher said he
would pause until all who wished to
leave had done so, but no others arose.
The crimes of the last week have caused
us, he declared, to be classed with Ser
vians and Russians To corruption OF
the ballot, he said, large share OF the
responsibility was due.
