kled Holton as he slipped on his uni
form coat over q marines drab shirt
and prepared to visit the hotel.
Life at the hotel was made more
brilliant by the arrival of Shafter and
his stan. but Holton, who had had all
the brilliancy and inactivity he want
ed, found himself praying fervently for
orders that would send him out az
oficer on one Of the vessels OF Ad.
miral Simpsons North Atlantic
Squadron. But no such orders came.
and Holton had Just about attuned his
mind to weary grind to last at least
several months longer. when some
thing occurred to chanNe very materi-
ally the attitude OF the toyernment in
regard to the movement of the troops
as Tampa.
In short, Admiral Sampson cabled
that after mysterious voyage across
the Atlantic ocean and Caribbean sea,
Admiral Cervera and his squadron
Of battleships and cruisers were bot
tied up in Santiago. He could not at
tack them because of the forts and
mines, and he requested that troops
be sent at once to cooperate with the
navy from the land side.
It was then that the Secretary Of
War wired General Shafter to proceed
forthwith to Cuba. @

had received its bid to the field Of bat

A new strain was put. upon Holton,

destruction Of the transports would be
made. there being no secrecy what

tended and of much interest. Spe-
cial music was rendered and an ad-

H. S. Dow, pastor of the Methodist
church, delivered the memorial ad-
dress. He paid high tribute to Miss
Willard, Americas leading woman,

may her name be cherished" said the
speaker. Mr.. Low made a strong
plea for national constitutional prohi

not with the State prohibitory law but
in the lack of a national law against

DR.. Hamlin Passes
His Goth Birthday.

DR.. Asahel w. Hamlin of Russell
street, Farmingdale, celebrated on
Saturday his Goth birthday at his home
on Russell street. Relatives joined the
family party at dinner, which was CIV
en- under the guidance of DR.. Hamlin's
daughter, Mrs. Emma F. c. McCaus-
land.
Dr. Hamlin was born in WinsloW,
the son of Isaiah Hamlin. On June ID,
1852 he married Mary E. Buken OF
Bowdoin, who is now so years of age.
Both DR.. Hamlin and his wife are alert
and relate interesting tales of the
early days Of this vicinity. Their
daughter and Miss Gladys Hamlin re-
side with them. Dr. Hamlin is rel
ative of Hanabil Hamlin, once vice
president of the United States, anG
has a nephew in this city, who bears
that distinguished name. Herbert
Hamlin of Gardiner and Fred B. Ham,
lin are also nephews.
DR. Hamlin has always been an ar
dent prohibitionist and was once a
candidate for the Legislature upon
of the Good Templars. He is the only
living fHefIlDtT VI Tic Flct Ddptioe
church in this city, who joined the
church in 1874, when Rev. Herbert
Stinson was pastor. For more than
20 years he was clerk of the church
and for long time taught in the
Sunday school He was a member of
the building committee when the
church edifce was constructed in Car
diner and is still an attendant when
conditions will permit.
DIR. Hamlin says: Il came to the
town of Gardiner in 1S43 from Cape
Cod. There have been a great many
changes on the face of things since
then, as | walked through Gardiner on
a plank sidewalk and the mud was
ankle deep in the street, no glass in
the store windows over 12x15 inches
but plenty of pine logs three feet in
diameter and cart wheels about eight
feet high tosling them under the axle
to get them to mill No one person
is living at this date that occupied
the stores then. No cars, no bridge
across the river.
Now, while life's poor course is
running, l am amusing myself with
some ancient things l have about me,

Bond. s245 and when Robertson came
back from Washington after the alleged
Gore incident he demanded that it be re-
paid.
Objections by counsel for Mrs. Bond
caused Mr.. Fisher to be excused at this
point until Robertson could be recalled
and foundation laid upon which to pred
icate his examination.
Deputy Sheriff Ezell testified about a
conversation he had with Robertson the
day before the suit was filed against
Gore. He said Robertson told him: 'I
have a paper / want you to serve to-
morrow"
Ezell asked about it. and he said Rob-
ertson replied:
Never mind now. You'll know what
it is about when you see the headlines
in the newspapers tomorrow. / want you
to serve the papers on a man who has
done me dirty. 1t will be sweet revenge
for me-"
The next day suit against Senator Gore
was filed.
Rev. r. p Licklider testified that Mrs.
Bond and her husband and James R. ia
cobs tried to induce the Ministerial AL
lance of this city to make an effort to
get the case of Senator Gore before the
United States Senate.
The witness said Mrs. Bond, accom-
panied by her husband and Jacobs, at
tended a meeting of the ministers shortly
after the episode in Washington and that
Mrs. Bond told the details of the alleged
attack. The alliance. he said, after hear
ing the statements, voted to have MOTH
ing to do with the case.
Mr.. Licklider said Mrs. Bond was
member of his church, but that she had
not attended 1t during the past two years.

he had gone with. Mrs. Bond and Jas.
