unknown. A Portland despatch says:

years ago he was sentenced to the Maine
State prison from Waldo county for
forgery. his sentence expiring in February,
1908. His record at the prison shows that
he had previously served in a Massaehu-
sets house of correction"
MRS. LEES ADDRESS. Those who listen
ed to the address given in the Methodist
church last Thursday evening by Mrs. Har-
rison Lee. a native of Australia and worlds
evangelist of the ". c. T. O.. enjoyed a
/ rare treat. Mrs. Lee is a woman of strong
personality, with a sympathetic, persuasive
voice. In her address she mingled humor
and pathos and was particularly eloquent
when she spoke of the misery caused by in
| toxicants, especially to children As illus
told of a prosperous little Australian town
| in which no liquor was sold. The place
, was so prosperous that it finally attracted
the attention of a man who paid ten pounds
$3.50 for license and began the sale of
, liquor. In short time there was so much
disturbance that it was necessary TO APP
point policeman and it took the ten pounds
paid for the license and 90 pounds more, a
total of $500, to support the policeman.
Mrs. Lee invited questions from the audi
ence and her replies were prompt and to
the point. She is certainly deserving of the
title given her in her own land of "the
queen of temperance orators"
LUMBER FROM Nova SCOTIA. The Aea-
dian Recorder, daily newspaper publish
ed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has a contribu-
tor who writes over the signature of Coca
i sional" and deals mainly with events of the
past. In recent issue We find the follow
j ing item of local interest:
! The first arrival in Maine OF lumber from
/ Nova Scotia under the reciprocity treaty of
the middle tifties made our Republican
neighborS open their eyes. The lumber, of
course, was entered free of duty. The
vice was called the Lebanon, commanded
by Captain HOdgdon. She arrived at Bel
fast, Maine, on the first day of May, 1855,
with 10000 boards 600 knees, $4,000 laths,
and lot of juniper timber for ship-build-
ing purposes. The cargo was from the
mills near timber tract that had been but
recently purchased by A. Hayford, and in
soundneSS, size and all other particulars de-
lighted the builders in Maine The Leban-
on was the first American vessel that ever
went up the Annapolis river, and all the
people turned out to see the 'stars and
stripes" of which they had heard so much
in their day and generation.
The Captain Hodgdon mentioned is
thought to have been Capt. Moses Ilodgdon
who died some years ago
THE CLARK SHOOTING CASE. The rela
tives of Fred L. Clark, whose death in Bos
ton was reported last week, take exceptions
to statements quoted from Boston papers
and from the Lewiston Sun. They say thai
Fred was not a drinking man; that he was
much younger than his wife, and that she
is responsible for the troubles which led tC
his shooting her and ending his own life
They say that he was industrious and while
on the Barlow place worked hard; that he
did not owe any debts here that he was not
able and willing to pay and in corrobora.
ton of these statements they refer to many
of our citizens who had known Fred from
boyhood. AS the shooting took place il
| Boston The Journal had to depend upOr
the papers of that city for particulars, anC
having quoted remarks deroeatOry to the
wife we telt that it was no more than right
to give what The Lewiston Sun said of hel
and of her family. Having no personal knowl
edge of any of the parties concerned we GiG
he best we could with the accounts giver
in other newspapers. The remains of FREQ
L. Clark were brought here for interment
last week and services held in the Baptist
church. The floral display was fine, an(
the bearers were members of the Brother
hood of Andrew and Phillip.
