SHIPPING ITEMS. 1t is reported the PEN
dleton Bros are to repair the sch. Maggie
Mulvey, which has been hauled up at this
port for several months. She was built at
WaldobOro in 1864 and is 252 tons net. The
Belfast correspondent of the Watervil]e
Sentinel tells the story that in 1868 num-
Der of down east captains were in board
ing house in a Massachusetts port and one
of their number was bemoaning his hard
luck in getting owners for new vessel
Their talk was overheard by the beading
mistress and she offered to take up the in
terests then lacking, provided the vessel be
named after her Thinking that she could
not raise the necessary money and that she
was only talking for the sake of saying
something, the captain, in joke, accepted
her offer and arranged the details then and
there He was considerably surprised
when she produced a bank book and drew
a check for the required sum. thus ending
what had appeared to be a hopeless search
for cash, and resulting in the schooner Mag
gle Mulyey.... While the work of shipping
lumber from Stockton Springs westward
goes briskly on we note that schooner has
been chartered to bring lumber from Bruins
wick to Stockton. This is of course hard
pine, to be used in the construction of
wharveS, etc....Sch. Carrie E. Look has
equipped with a Mianus hosting engine
and machinery and wrecking punmp....
Schooner Harold c. Beecher, Capt. Patter-
shall, has chartered to load cut granite at
Hall Quarry, Somes Sound, for New York,
and sailed from this port Sept. 21st....
George A. Gilchrest has bought an interest
in the schooner Sarah L. Davis, and she
was hauled out on his marine railway
last Saturday for extensive repairs, which
will include sister keesons, refastenlng,
etc. She is 40 tons net and was built in
Belfast by Henry McGilvery in 1871 for
Capt. C. Y. Cottrel, and named for the
wife of Dr. A. S. Davis, one of her original
owners. While commanded by Capt. Cot
trell she was employed for several winters
in the Jacksonville and West India trade
and the work of the worms in Southern
waters entailed much labar at the pumps in
later years. Among recent charters are
the following: Sch. Ellen NJ. Baxter, Eliza
bethport to Belfast, coal, IS cents; SCH
John E. Develin, Philadelphia to- Cay
Francis, coal, $1.7O; sch. Bradford I.
French, Brunswick to Stockton, lumber, p.

A Chinese Reformer and Novels

"A Shihese heIornler ana Novelist.
About four years ago there lived
quietly In an American family in
the north end of Manhattan a quiet.
pale young Chinese student who was
the continued wonder of his hosts
in that he seemed to write incessant-
ly day and night with only infinitesi-
NAL intervals for rest and food. This
youth was Liang Chi Choa, a bril-
liant romancer, according to Chinese
standards. and the creator of a new
school, inasmuch as he was intro
duced into the somewhat tangled
fabric of the Chinese tale SEM

rather than the glory of somebody's
long defunct ancestors. He is the
author of over 200 books and In
Vulnerable newspaper articles, and is
a profound student of political orga-
nization, understanding the advan-
tages and drawbacks of every style
of government under which man has
tried to live. During the last year
or two. Liang Chi Choa, who is Kang
Yu Wei's first vice president and de-
signated successor. has been living
in studious retirement in Yokohama.
His interesting ''Tour in America" is
the Chinese standard reference work
and guide to the United States.
His real occupation has been the
drafting of the proposed Chinese
constitution from his notes OF the
constitution of the United States and
the causes of it's various amend
ments, the Code Napoleon, the Ger
man Verfassung and the British con-
stitution, the result of his laboS
promising to be more on the lines
of the last named than any OF the
others, owing to its age and the
fact that 1t has brought the English
race up from a comparatively priml-
tive state to the highest pitch OF
civilization, while preserving the
throne, the state religion, and the
semblance of a feudal system.
Two successive imperial missions
