zen, Will Celebrate Today.

Southport. Me-, Sept. 19.-(SpeciaD.-
George Love, the Oldest man in town,
will celebrate his oath birthday

looking forward to the event with con-
siderable pleasure.
Mr. Love was born in old Boothbay.
Sept. 20. 1877. a son of Capt. George
Love. AS u small boy he loved TO sail
small boats, hence it was only natural
that he should spend most of his life at
sea, mostly on fishing vessels. He quit
the sea about 90 years ago, but dur
ing his career had sailed in upwards of
so different vessels, had owned in many
of them and had sailed all along the
Atlantic coast from New Foundland
to Florida. He always refused a cap
taincy and never hired with a captain,
but preferred TO go halves on his
catch. He was very successful and re-
tired in comfortable circumstances.
He lives in Comfortable little
house, which has been his home for
20 years. He owns a farm of 30 acres
and has a large woodlot from which
he cuts annually dozen cords OF
stove wood. In fact. he is rather a
picturesque character at shis age, for
he swings an axe with almost as much
vigor as youth. He attributes his
activity in this respect to his temper
ate habits. having stopped the use of
tobacco 40 years ago. while he never
touched liquor. He never has missed a
town meeting in his life and is always
interested in town affairs, although
he has never held public Office.
He was married at the age of %. His
wife is now dead. He has one son.
James G. Love of Bath; also two
daughters. Mrs Laura f. Tewksbury
Of Winthrop. Mass, and Mrs. George
| Fisher at home.

Connecticut Senate Stirred
To The Very Depths.
Over Alleged Corruption in Pas
sage Of Certain Charter.
Senators Leave the hall..hooker
Arraigns Guilty Members.

Hartford. Conn, Sept. i9.--Never in
| the history of the state has the Senate
chamber been the scene of such pro-
cecdings as were witnessed today dur
ing the discussion of the Connecticut
River Cos. charter. which had just
been passed in the House over the
Governors veto. Senators left the
chamber and refused to come back
when sent for by the lieutenant gov
ernor and two of the senators were ac
cused of having gifts made to them as
coming from the rest of the senators,
but which did not come from them.
Senator Hooker of Hartford offered
a resolution to the effect that lawyers
and lobbyists in the employ of the
Connecticut River Co. be excluded
from the floor and anterooms. In
supporting the resolution Senator
Hooker said:
Il wish to voice my disgust at the
action of lawyers and lobbyists en-
ployed by the company They have
caused senators to be absent when
their ease has been in doubt, They
walk in and out among us and tell us
what to do. Was there ever a state
in such disgrace? The able senator
from the 25th District (Stiles Judson,
Republican leader of the Senate) is
above corruption, but he was influence
ed by them. We all recall the picture
a few days ago when these lawyers
stood on both sides of him at his desk
over there during the debate and die
tated the only amendment we are al
lowed TO pass"
