able to mix strange Spanish Oaths in
his talk quite after the manner of the
old Elizabethan sea captains.
His chief task at present is licking
the "Hispania" and her crew into
shape for the Cowes regatta, at which
her royal owner has entered her for
several races, and he will be assisted
in his task by several Tollesbury men,
who have gone with him as part of the
crew, The course is we'll known to
him, for as recently as last year he
steered Sir James Pender's BTynhild
to victory there. and besides he has
won some four hundred prizes in the
last four years in yacht racing So, if
the Hispania behaves herself, and the
little cherub that sits up aloft" does
likewise. his Spanish majesty stands
good chance to carry off some prizes
during the coming yachting season.
TOllesbuTy is d home of sea dogs
Capt. BarbTOOk's father is one of the
oldest of them, and now surely the
prOudest. His son has loved the sea
since his boyhood; took to if like the
smallest duckliIg to the neighboring
pond, and has lived on it and near it
ever since. He is well known among
yachting men and such authorities as
Sir Thomas Upton, Sir James Pendel
and Mr.. Fife were amongst those who
sang his praises to King Alfonso.

teenth century. The Pine Tree state
has had her favorite sons. James G..
Blaine was one: Thomas B. Reed was
another, but none of them ever caught
at the tendrils of the hearts Of the
men of Maine as did Himlin. The
Great CommoneP," he was called, and
Reed, who for years fought him bit
terly in politics, but who after a
chance meeting with him became his
ardent admirer, said of him: He
never learned to tell lie or to be
dishonest He simply couldn't lie"
Hamlin won the hearts of the peo-
pie by his bitter fight against slavery
and he proved his courage by leaving
the Democratic party when it fell into
the control of the supporters of slave
traffic. He could have been candidate
for the presidency in 1856, but refused
it. He accepted the nomination for
vice-president in 1860 on the ticket
with Lincoln and became Lincoln'5
trusted counsellor and adviser in the
four years of the struggle between the
north and the south. To him Lincoln
showed his Emancipation PrOclama-
ton" before issuing it and received
from him suggestions in the wording
of it which he accepted. That he was
not nominated for Vice-president for
LincOln's second term and therefore
did not become a president of the
United States is almost as strange a
political accident as the one that put
Roosevelt in the presidential chair at
the death of President Mckinley.
Friends of Andrew Johnson gained
his nomination, much to LincOIns cha.
grin, by circulating the report that
Lincoln did not want Hamlin and ia
vOred Johnson. While Col. A K Nc
Clure, Charles A, Dana and several
others insisted Lincoln told them he
did not want Hamlin on the ticket,
such men as John Hay, who was Lin
coins private secretary, insisted that
the story was not true and asserted
that Col. Mcclure was not an intimate
friend of the martyred president, fin
ally giving Hamlin the fullest Vindica-
ton
of representatives at 80, and at 33 he
lost election to the United States SEN -,
ate because Of his attitude on the
slave question. His defeat only
reused him to greater activity against
the growth Of slavery. He was elected
TO the United States senate in 1848l
and reelected in 1850. In 1855 he
was elected governor Of Maine. He
was hailed as one of the fathers of
the Republican party in 1860 and he
could not decline the nomination for
the vice-presidency.
Although holding office as vice-pres-
ident he enlisted at the outbreak OF
the war as private himself He re-
fused a commission. but trained with
the soldiers and inspired them by his
acts. He went with them to the front
and while he engaged in no battles he
travelled with the army as personal
representative Of Lincoln. He reported
to Lincoln as to the condition of the
army and always was LIncoln's friend
andScounsellor.

WILL HONOR HAMLIN
Native State to Celebrate Gen.
tenary of His Birth.
Known as "The Great CommonerT
and Won Hearts of People by
Fight Against SIaVery-vice-
President Under Lincoln.

Paris Hill, Me.-In Paris Hill, a
spot so picturesque that it has been
called the Switzerland of Maine,
the centenary of the birth of Hannibal
Hamlin, vice-presidSnt of the United
States during Lincoln's first term,
will be celebrated on August q. The
exercises will be held in connection
with the first Old-hOme week in
Maine, and will bring to the birth
place of the most beloved son of the
Pine Tree state not only distinguished
statesmen of the day, but also sol
diers who fought in the civil war and
men who were conspicuous in the al
fairs OF the state OF that period. This
gathering perhaps will be one of the
last of men who gained fame in
the fight for the freedom of the negro.
The Loyal Legion of Maine will erect
a bronze tablet to Hamlin, and the
exercises promise to be unique and to
emphasize the services of such a man
to his country.
No more picturesque spot could be
found in the country than the Paris
Hill. The view from the old home in
which Hamlin was born takes ii the
AndrOscOggin valley, which, broken
by forests and villages, stretches to
the ranges of hills and mountains that
almost encompass Paris Hill. The
foothills of the White mountains are
discernible to the west, and on a clear
summer day the White mountains
themselves can be seen in the dis
tance.
