Sergt. Sullivan, U. S.,
M. c., Retires, 30
Year Perfect Record.

What a splendid record was that
made by Sergeant Barney Sullivan of
the United States Marine Corps, who
will retire March 90 next, after a SER
vice of so years and not a blot on the
tally sheet The Portsmouth, N. H.,
Chronicle says:
Sergeant Barney Sullivan of the
Marine Corps stationed at the Kittery,
Me-, navy yard barracks will retire af-
ter so years service on March 20.
He retires at his own request and
with a record hardly equalled by any
other man in that branch of the SER
vice. During this long period with
Uncle Sam. not an offence has been
recorded against him by his superior
officers.
"Sergt Sullivan was born in Buffalo,
N. Y, August 30, 1857 He first en-
listed in Company /, sth U. S. Infan-
try, May 90, 1884. and was discharged
on May 20, 1889. In June, 1889. he
enlisted in the Marine Corps and has
served continuously from that date in
that branch of the service.
He has been awarded character
excellent upon each discharge and a
good conduct medal or bar for each
enlistment. He was appointed cor
poral on September 10. 1889. sergeant
on November IA. 1890; gunnery ser
geant October IS, 1899, and first SER
geant on July 10, 1908. During his
various enlistments 1st Sergt. Sullivan
served aboard the L. S. S. Lancaster

phin months, the u. S. S. Dixie 2

vice and of the life saving service, now
two separate and distinct services and
also, it might be added, very efficient
services The revenue cutter service
was organized many years ago but
it was not till about decade ago that
it was put on a strictly military basis.
The revenue cutters had been drafted
for two or three wars and the officers
and men of the revenue cutters had
served we'll many times under fire. But
the service had suffered from lack of
appropriations and from the indiffer-
ence of Congress. After long, long
campaign in which the late Senator
Frye of Maine was very active, the
revenue cutter service was placed on
practically the same basis as the navy.
It's officers now have tenure ana
compensation almost identical with Of
ficers of the navy. Its enlisted men
enjoy similar privileges to those &C
corded enlisted men in the navy. After
80 years of service, for instance, the
enlisted men in the revenue cutter
service may retire on three-fourths
pay.
Now the life saving service, it is
proposed, shall have similar rights.
The surfmen are to become enlisted
men. Those of the No. class are to
be petty officers. There are also to
be warrant officers and the admins
trative force which is not large, is to
be commissioned, the intention being
to retire general superintendent. Capt.
Sumner /. Kimball, who founded and
built up the life saving service, on
three fourths pay. There has been a
long fight to provide adequately for
the life savers, who probably per-
form better service for the wages paid
them than any other contingent OF
government employees. Many bills have
been introduced in their behalf but the
opposition has been entrenched.
1t is doubtful whether the House
will now permit the Senate bill to pass
without much opposition. But the
measure is regarded as very meritori-
Gus. The coast guards would be
distinct accession. without adding ma
terially to the governments expenses.
There is good argument for the con-
solidation, too, because the revenue
cutter service and the life saving ser
vice perform kindred duties. One is
on sea and the other is on shore. The
efficiency of the work to be done could
be improved in this way. The admin
istrative officers of the revenue cutter
service could well have charge of the
life saving service and this would be
at a saving of cost. This phase is
likely to appeal to the economy ad-
vocates in the House. What opposi-
ton develops there will be against re-
tirement pay for the life saving force,
whose members serve 80 years.
1t is claimed this would not be a
serious charge upon the treasury but,
in the long run, would work some saw
ing, because it would encourage surf
men to continue in the service and
thus ensure the retention of capable
men. It will attract competent hands,
as an opportunity for permanent live
lihood The new service would have
1900 officers and men, all told. The
additional cost is estimated at sSs7,700
a year.

OBSERVER D. C. MURPHY
Has Been at PASSPORT, Me, Weather
Station for 50 Years, for 46 With
the Weather Bureau, and in Govern
msnt Employ 81 Years.

Observer Daniel C. Murphy of the
United States weather bureau, in East
port, Me-, the most easterly part or
the country, has been in the employ
of the government for 81 years, and for
the last &C in the signal service. For
the past 80 years he has been station
ed there and is in fine health at 81.
In 1863, at the age of 16, Mr.. Muir
ply enlisted in the 18th United States
Cavalry near Washington. He was in
that city when Lincoln was assassinated
and early on the evening of the occur
renee had been to Ford's Theatre with
a squad of soldiers gathering up stray
giers from the army.
Mr.. Murphy was q sergeant connect
ed with the signal service when the
war closed. In 1868 he was stationed
at Fort Preble, about seven miles from
Washington. together with so others.
When the signal service or weather
bureau was created in 1870, and Gen.
Albert Myer. who had been chief sig
nal officer of the army, was made the
first chief, Sergt Murphy was first on
duty in the Central and Western
states and came East in 1878:
He was at Eastport for three years,
then at Mt. Washington, n. H., where
often the wires were broken in storms
and communication with the outside
world was cut of for days. In one
severe cold spell the mercury dropped
to 50 degrees below zero. The velocity
of the wind was frequently from 60
to 20 miles an hour
In 1878 Sergt. Murphy was sent back
to PASSPORT fer two years. Then he
was returned to Mt. Washington to
relieve !Sergt. Jewell. who went to the
Arctic with Greeley and persisted from
cold and exposure.
After two n1uIe wears on the noun
tain Sergt, Murphy was transferred to
Portland, then TO Eastport in 1882,
where ne has since remained and will
remain until retired by the govern
ment.
In 1873 Sergt. Murphy was married
to Miss Annie Richards of PASSPORT
They have four sons and three daugh-
tiers living. One son, Frank, was for
several years a messenger and assist
ant observer with his father at the
PASSPORT station, but went to Califor-
MIA in 1909 to enter the weather bu-
reau in Sacramento. Another son,
John L., has been with his father in
the PASSPORT office as assistant since
1909

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Th1n men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or
10 pounds of healthy stay there" fat
should try eating little Sargol with
their meals for while and note re-
suits. Here is a good test worth try,
ing. First weigh yourself and meas
ure yourself Then take Sargol-one
tablet with every meal-for two weeks.
Then weigh and measure again. 1t
isn't a question of how you look or
feel or what your friends say and
think. The scales and the tape meas
ure will tell their own story, and most
any thin man or woman can easily
add from five to eight pounds in the
first fourteen days by following this
simple direction. And best of all, the
new flesh stays put
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten. into rich, ripe fat pro-
ducing nourishment for the tissues and
bloed-prepares it in an easily assim-
Hated form which the blood can read
lily accept. All this nourishment now
passes from your body as waste. But
Sargol stops the waste and does it
quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleas
ant, efficient and inexpensive. Bow
tch-Webster Co. and other leading
druggists in Augusta and vicinity sell
it in large boxes-forty tablets to a
package-on guarantee of weight in
crease or money back.-Adv.

N. E. Umpires Are
Worth More Pay.

The New England staff of umpires
must be paid more than $500 per
month or good men will be very shy.
In fact, we may expect to see many
a mob scene chasing the poor weary
official out of several towns. A sal
airy of 200 semoleons per month is not
sufficient for the job.
Here are few figures that we dug
up 1t costs s3.40 from Boston to
Lewiston and the cheapest that real
white man can decently live adds $3.50
more, which totals to $500. In some
of the months the umpire will get
approximately S. per day, while other
months, where there are fewer games.
he will get from $40 to s7.20 daily.
out of this he is expected TO pay his
own expenses.
1t is a plan of the league to quar-
ter him in a city for three days df
the public will allow it without muir
der or bloodshed). Even then the prof
IL is slight unless the official could
work around Lowell, Lawrence, Hav-
erhill and Lynn.
The lob means long hours and ex-
ceedingly poor pay and ii is safe 10
say that the umpire VIII not average
S. a game for the season Ana
what a life it is. Not only must
the official maintain order among
the players and fans but he must
guard against lot of underhand pro-
tests to Sec. Cooper, who also has
his troubles when the season opens.
The umpire question is a great prob
lem. A 5000 per month salary where
the official pays his own expenses Will
never solve 1t. Mike Doherty, former
ly of the Eastern Association, is
fairly good official. but why didn't he
stick to Mr.. ORourke where the
Jumps were shorter? Lannigan would
be all right If he could navigate his
900 or more pounds. Bobby Black

Probably nine out of every ten colds
could be prevented by little care and
forethought.
There is really no occasion for any
body to suffer from what we call "a
cold
Plenty of fresh air and enough exer-
else to keep the blood in free circula-
ton and the cold germs would never
have a chance to gain a foothoid in
the system.
But most of us do not get enough of
either fresh air or exercise.
We live and work in poorly venti-
lated. over-heated houses and offices.
We dress too warmly
We lose the power of resistance
and the invading army of microbes
find US an easy mark.
The first unusual exposure to colds
and dampness starts the shivers.
We begin to sneeze and cough.
These are the warning symptoms.
1t is too late to prevent the cold
But we can prevent it's serious
Effects
What we need Is plenty of fresh air
and a gentle tonic to promote healthy
circulation of the blood-and a laxative
to carry off the germs after the fresh

them.
