FUNDS WANTED
For Tablet to Mark shipyard

For n Tablet to Mark Shipyard
where the Ranger was Built.
The Paul Jones club, of the Sons of the
American Revolution, of Portsmouth, N.
H., has undertaken the task of marking,
with suitable tablet, the location of the
shipyard where the famous Continental
ship of-war, Ranger, was built in 1777.
The location was on Badgers island, then
called Langdon's island, and is within the
town of Kittery, opposite Portsmouth,
near the ferry landing. This fact has
been settled, and Maine has another
notable historic attraction.
1t was on the Ranger that the greatest
of our naval heroes, John Paul Jones,
raised for the first time on an American
warship, the stars and stripes, July 4, 1777,
the first anniversary of our independence.
The flag was made by s'the girls of Ports
mouth from pieces of their best silk
gowns, and presented to Captain Jones.
This vessel carried the news of the sur
render of Burgoyne's army at Saratoga to
France, and this flag was the first saluted
by foreign naval power, France, Febru-
airy Ia, ITS.
II was with this Maine built ship that
Paul Jones, besides other captures, fought
and captured the British man-of-war,
Drake, off the Irish coast, April "a, ITS,
and then a goodly number of his crew
were Maine men. The Ranger was a
rakish craft, and he said she was the best
of the ten vessels that he commanded
during the war.
In this same shipyard, it is asserted,
was also built the private armed ship,
Portsmouth, twenty guns, and the Con-
tinental ship-of-war, Raleigh, thirty-two
guns, in 1776, also the America, seventy
four guns. The Raleigh had several
Maine men in her crew. She brought the
cargo of military supplies from France,
arranged by Benjamin Franklin, early in
ITS, which gave our revolutionary fathers
so much encouragement and hope. She
was afterward commanded by the famous
Capt. John Barry, and was captured by
British fleet, off Penobscot bay, in 1779.
Captain Barry and his crew escaped to
the shore, but the vessel was taken into
the British service. She was in the Brit
ish fleet off Charleston, S. c., in 1880, when
the Ranger was destroyed to prevent her
falling into the hands of the British, after
most brilliant career.
The people of Maine are asked to con-
tribute $50 toward the expense of the
marking of this historic ground at Kit
terry, where the tablet will be seen by
hundreds Of summer visitors, and by
many OF our own people, each year, all to
| the honor of our State.
The Maine society of the Sons Of the
American Revolution, approving of this
undertaking, makes an appeal to its
members, to the D. A. R., and to all
public-spirited people for contributions
for this purpose. The society, this year,
has not sufficient funds, beyond its ex-

No Monopoly of Brains !.

One of the many hopeful signs of the
times is the apparent decay Of the
breed of so called great men, those
mighty personalities that in former
times stood out like solitary tree in a
vast prairie The reason for it, of
course, is the distinction of all those
old time monopolies of brains which
stunted all human beings except a few
who by chance rather than by superb
GRITTY of fiber grew and developed.
There are thousands, literally thou
sands, of men now living who if they
had lived century or so ago and had
done work similar to that which they
are doing without any very sonorous
fanfare upon the trumpets of fame
would have been the talk of the world
and the main topic of history. And
how many of the so called great
achievements of SO called great states
men, soldiers and thinkers of former
times would be impossible today be-
cause those achievements depended
chiefly upon the ignorance and incapac-
ity OF the overwhelming mass of the
men of their day!
Truly this is the age of opportunity.
