OBITUARY

The funeral OF the late Frank p. Greene
was held in the Baptist church Thursday
afternoon. Business was suspended. and
the academy and town school we're closed,
the pupils attending in . body. The large
number OF people who braved the
elements to look for the last time on the
face OF their departed friend and towns
man speak more eloqnentiy than words Of
the high esteem in which he was held.
In 1892 Mr.. Greene was elected second
selectman and soon rose to be chairman, q
position he held at his death. The way
he conducted the Affairs OF his once was .
credit not only to himself but to his town.
His honesty, integrity and uprightness
were unquestioned, and in matters OF inn
porsance his words Of advice were always
taxeu in town Affairs.
The members Of Irs Berry lodge, F. and
A. M, and Bluehill lodge, l. o. O. F.,
escorted the body to Seaside cemetery.
H. II. Mcintyre, +. p. BAbson, r. s.
Parker, n. r. Twining, W. N. Howard
and A. NJ .Herrick were psli-bearers.
Rev. Charles Hargrove ofnciated and
chose his text from Psalms 81, verse 81:
''Behold, perfect man.
Mr.. Greene's family have the sympathy
of all. He leaves = widow, son Charles,
Of this town, . daughter Mrs. Nellie
Prince, OF Bangor; three sisters-Mrs.
Nellie Crippen, OF Massachusetts; Mrs.
Lizzie Wescott, OF North Bluehiii, and
Mrs. Eta Bent, OF Virginia, and one
brother William G. Greene, OF this town.

And the old WALES claim has bob
bed up again, they say. Yes, and quite
properly. 1t should keep on bobbing
up to annoy and rebuke those per
sons who placed the state of Florida
in the attitude Of a cozener and a
cheat until 1t is paid.
Here's an undertaking that The Me
tropolis wishes the Honorable Frank
Clark the greatest success in. We
hope he will collect the money for
Colonel Wales that narrow sighted
ness and injustice have so long with
held from him. MIR. Clark says that
he has found a way to make the state
pay, but he hasn't made it public. In
time this will come out, and if he
forces the payment he will be deserv-
ing Of credit for achieving it. Surely
there should be some way to force the
state to pay a just obligation when
the representatives of the people in
the legislature fail to comply with the
ordinary demands of honesty and
square dealing.
The state has acknowledged the OBJ
legation by having made an appropria-
ton of twenty-five thousand dollars
for it's payment. This sum hardly
represents the office expenses incur
red by Colonel Wales in the collec-
ton of the Indian war claims which
he paid himself and for which he has
never been reimbursed. 1t is diff
cult to understand how honest men
can arrive at any conclusion as to the
amount of the Indebtedness except
the full amount which the state was
under contract to nav Colonel Wales
was to receive a certain percentage
of the total amount collected. 1t is
we'll known how much money was
paid the state through his efforts. and
the calculation Of the amount due him
is simple. Yet our legislators refuse
to pay because they think the sum
exhorbitant This is question which
does not touch the point at issue. Ii
the amount were so large that it car
ried the state bankrupt it should be
paid. The state cannot afford to be
a dishonest employer and paymas-
ter
