THE Bangor ye,es.l

Eastern Maine lawyers, who should
be able to distinguish an able jurist
from a mere politician, claim that
Hon. Arno W. King, whom Governor
Cobb has lately appointed to the su-
preme bench, is one of the most gifted
jurists in Maine. He ia q practical
lawyer from birth and breeding and
association and personal inclinations,
as well as from long study and closest
training.
Though very familiar with the
statute law and precedent, and with
local decisions on important cases, the
great strength of Justice King is
found in his broad knowledge of the
common law. His habits of thought
have led him to study deeply into the
fundamental principles of law, and to
investigate why certain nations and
peoples have enacted statutes cover
ing questions which are OF utmost i'm
portance 70 all communities which
live under the law and participate in
the blessings of civilization.
The history of the laws develop
ment, why certain laws have beer
enacted, the influence of the bible
the laws of the Greeks and Romans
and of these upon. the English laws
and the paramount influence OF the
English laws upon American juris-
prudence,-t these and kindred topics
have engrossed much of Judge Kings
study during all his active life.
Because of his splendid equipmen,
for weighing the pros and cons Of
complicated legal situations, and be-
cause his temperament and training
have enabled him to consider the
equities in case as we'll as its Legal
aspects from the standpoint of the
statutes, the general opinion among
Maine lawyers is that Judge King will
become shining light upon the Maine
bench.

JAMES NJ. vEALLEy.

James Monroe NeaIley, one of Els
worth's oldest residents, died Wednesday
afternoon OF last week, in the ninetieth
year OF his age.
In his death Ellsworth loses one who,
during the twelve years of his residence
here, had found warm place in the
hearts Of the people. Though advanced
in years, Mr.. Nealiey was one whose heart
ever remained young, and made him q
companionable man for young and old
Until the past year, too, he remained ac-
tive in body as in spirit. For the past
year he had been failing, having within
that period had several severe illnesses,
from which he rallied, but each left him
with impaired strength. AT the end he
dropped quietly asleep-the fully ripened
wheat, ready for the reaper.
Mr.. Nealley was born in Monroe. Feb
26, ISIS. As young man he learned the
snip-carpenter's trade, and worked at il
in St. Stephen, n. B., and Belfast. before
locating, in 1864, in Brewer. where for
many years he was engaged in ship build
ing, and with the decline OF the ship
building industry, conducted ship repair
docks. He built many vessels well known
in the coasting and West Indies trade.
AT the outbreak of the Civil war he was
living in Belfast, and enlisted in Belfas,
company in the 4th Maine regiment.
Since the death of his wife, twelve wears
ago, Mr.. Nealley had made his home in
Ellsworth with his only son, Joseph W
Nealley. OF his own family he is sur
viyed by one sister, Mrs. Anna Patten, OF
Bangor.
Mr.. Nealley was an enthusiastic Mason
and probably the oldest Mason in this
jurisdiction. He was member OF ESQ
teric lodge of Ellsworth, and of Mt. Mo-
riah chapter, OF Bangor.
Funeral services were held at the house
here Friday, Rev. P. A. A. KiIlam, of the
Baptist church, officiating. The pail
bearers were Mayor A. w. Greedy. Johr
H. Brimmer, 7. E. Hale and H. n. Joy
The remains were taken to Brewer 10,
interment.

Death of Albert NJ. Hopkins.
The death of Albert NJ. Hopkins re-
moves another of Eilsworth's most
highly esteemed and influential citi-
zens-a lifelong resident, conspicu-
Gus in the business, political and So
cial life OF Ellsworth and Hancock
county for more than half century.
Had he lived until next October he
would have rounded out life OF
four score years. He went to work
very early in life: as clerk for the
Blacks, the lumber kings of this Sec
ton in the middle of the last century.
be proved himself of such stuff that
later on, the store business conducted
by them, on the dissolution of the
firm, naturally fell to him, and in 1852,
was bought by him and has been con !.
Quoted by him on the same spot on
Main street from that day to this -
forty Ave years. His death removes
the last man doing business on Main
street then and now.
Mr.. Hopkins early in life became
intensely interested in public affairs,
and while persistently refusing to
hold public Office, became one Of the
most influential men in politics in this
section of the State. No political
battle, whether within his own party
or with the common enemy, was ever
30 severe that it permanently left any
bitter feeling, or any but honorable
scars.
Throughout his long and active life
he made and retained friends to
whom he was ever loyal and who
were loyal to him. His Judgment of
men was keen, and he rarely failed in
his estimate of their worth.
It is safe to say that few men have
the capacity possessed by Mr.. Hop
kins of acquiring the confidence of 90
wide circle Of acquaintance, and re-
tanning it so long. Few men will be
more keenly missed in all phases OF
the life of this city. /.

OBITUARY.


~>@~N-T-
Albert N. Hopkins, one Of Ellsworth's
long citizens. and prominent in every
walk in the city's life for many years. died
at his home on State street last Saturday
evening, aged seventy-nine years, Zinc
months and twenty-five days.
Death came as q relief from y long period
of suffering. Four years ago last winter
he fell and broke his arm; he was recover
ing fairly well from this accident when,
two years later. he had the misfortune
again to fall and break his hip. From the
time of this accident he failed gradually,
and although he made long and brave
fight, the result was inevitable. Every
human agency was used to relieve his suf-
fering. but it awaited little, ard death was
rather welcome than otherwise.
Mr.. Hopkins was born in Ellsworth on
Oct. IL. 1927, son OF one OF Ellsworth
pioneers, and was one OF . family OF
eleven children, four sons and seven

In the United States district court
Saturday, the Standard Oil Co. was
fined s29, 24o, oos for violation of the
law against accepting rebates from
railroads. The fine is the largest ever
assessed against any individual or
corporation in the history of Ameri-
can criminal Jurisprudence, and is
slightly more than 131 times as great
as the amount received by the COM
pany through its rebating operations.
The case will he carried to the higher
courts by the defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the COM
pany is the maximum permitted
under the law, and it was announced
at the end Of long opinion, in which
methods and practices of the Standard
Oil Co. were mercilessIy scored.

PARIS, FRANCE. July 10, 1907.
The morning OF the Fourth we went on
deck either wearing or carrying our flags,
and many with red, white and blue rib
bons tied around their arms or serving as
all for celebration, but we found things
quieter than we had anticipated.
AT the beginning of the usual band con-
cert, the members of our own party
moved down toward the stern, and when
we heard the strains OF the 'sStar
SpangIed Banner we began to sing. We
appiauded the musicians so vigorously at
the end of each verse, that We kept them
playing it until we had sung ali the
verses. AT the end we waved our flags
furiously and gave three cheers.
BY that time nearly all the Americans
on board had heartily entered in, and our
celebration had begun in earnest. We
called the Hofmeister and asked him if
he would have the band play america.
He stared at us most blankly end said
swat list Amsirika?" However, he in
tended to do his best for us, and he tried
in vain to tell the leader of the band what
we wished. The latter finally came to us,
and one OF our party hummed the air.
Then he nodded understandingiy, and we
sang and ressng verse after verse, waving
our flags wildly and cheering between the
verses.
Then Miss Friend was asked to hold
aloft the largest flag, and we repeated in
concert: ssThe Salute to the Flag. By the
tine this was over, everyone had nearly
gone wild with enthusiasm. No one could
keep still for a moment. Those OF other
nationalities were interested spectators.
We sang ..Dixie", s'Columbia, the Gem OF
the Ocean" Marching Through Georgia.
'sSwanee River" "Tenting Tonight" etc.
Three cheers for Roosevelt and three cheers
for Teddy were interspersed here and
there. The familiar sound of the fire.
cracker and topedo seemed to take as back
to our native shore.
We then formed a line and marched all
the way around the ship, clapping our
hands and singing Marching through
Georgia.
After the concert, some potatoes and
spoons were secured, and a good old
fashioned potato race was enjoyed in the
bow of the boat. Ringtoss and shuttle
board were temporarily forgotten. The
potato race was succeeded by three
legged race, but before the next even,
came off, the call to luncheon had
sounded.
We had been SO strenuous since early
morning, that after luncheon we were
quite ready to doze for while in oui
steamer chairs. When dinner time came
we found special menu for the day. AL
the dishes, which were still quite Dutch
in flavor and appearance, were named
after either some noted American, Oh
American historical event or American
city.
In the evening there was an ''Independ-
ence ball'', and the decks were lighted
with red, white and blue electric lights.
Now my flag is tucked snugly away
until can wear it again on July IA, the
national holiday of France.

Bar Harbor received q shock Saturday
evening, when big automobile, ignoring
the automobile ordinance, whizzed into
town. The Bar Harbor correspondent OF
the Bangor Netrs says: 'The anti-auto
party was visibly sgitated and many con-
situations were held to see what course
should be pursued. The auto traversed
OILY the state and county roads, which
would give good foundation for test
case. Autos are at present excluded from
Bar Hsrbor, but how long the bars will
be kept up is question. The people are
decidiy divided. Some desire that the
roads be kept free for driving, while
others say that the automobiles are rec
ognized vehicles and cannot be barred
from the roads OF the county and State,
especially as anto owners pay taxes for
keeping the roads in repair. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that another sea-
son the town will vote to rescind the law
in regard TO autos, and that they will be
allowed in the town, perhaps restricted to
certain streets and roads" Monday the
owner of the offending auto paid fine OF
81. being found guilty OF q technical vio-
lation of the Law.
