BEST LAWYER IN MAINE,

Looking back to old Bucksport, Maine,
more than half a century ago, it may be
safely asserted that the best lawyer in
Maine of his day and generation was big,
smooth-shaven and most convivial Har-
vey D. Hadlock of Bucksport, Maine,
who married the dashing and good look
ing daughter of Captain Daniel S. Good
ell of Searsport, Me.
Big Harvey Hadlock was somewhat of
a four-tiusher, IN histway; most lawyers
We're four flushers in their own particu-
lar way some so or rs years ago; though
the rise OF big Harvey was most phe-
nomenal one, from poor law student
who was born down Cranberry Island
way to the leading attorney of Boston,
with retaining fees amounting to thous-
ands OF dollars was certainly a sky
rockety career for a raw down-easter.
Both led spectacular careers near the
closing days of the Civil war-Captain
Goodell, who had accumulated near a
million dollars, as shipbuiider and master
mariner; and his winning and losing big
lawsuits son-ln-law, enormously big SON.
iii. law, Harvey D. Hadlock.
The big winning on the part of Had
lock was the contested suit on Knibbs'
valve patent, which had been continued
from court to court, until at last it
amounted to more than millions of dol
lars; for though son-in-law Hadlock won
the knibns suit in the end, for Hadlock
was an eXtravagant young blade, and
whenever he ran short of money, he ap-
Piled to his generous father in-law for
more cash so the law accounts of Captain
Goodell and hopeful young Hadlock
mounted up many millions of dollars.
Surely Harvey D. Hadlock was the
best lawyer in Maine when he set all
New England by the ears so or more
years ago.-Bangor News.

CAPT. GEORGE H. TAPLEY.
Last Survivor OF The Nine Tapley Brothers,
Of Brooksville.

Capt. George H. Tapley of West
Brooksville, who on February 9Th cele-
bTated his eighty-third birthday, is the
last survivor of the the nine Tapley
brothers, famous as deep-sea captains of
the old-time clipper ships, all of whom,
after for years sailing the seven seas,
retired to comfortable old age on their
farms in Brooksville.
Capt. George is still hale and hearty,
and on his last birthday wrote The Amer
lean that while the calendar told him he
was eighty-three,h he "felt like eighteen.
Capt. Tapley, by the way, is one of The
American g Oldest spondents-per-
haps the oldest in years, certainly one of
the Oldest in term of service. He has
been the regular West Brooksville cor
respondent since 188O-thirty five years
back farther than The Americans re-
cord of correspondents runs. The Amer
lean would be interested to know just
who is the Oldest of it's correspondents
in years and in service.
Capt. Tapley, at the town meeting
this month, was reelected town clerk for
bis seventeenth consecutive term. having
served his town in that capacity since
1899.
Capt. Tapley has been so long ashore
that he says his sea life seems like a
dream. His first voyage was in 1845 at
the age of thirteen years. He sailed on
the schooners Napoleon, Hattie Maria,
Saxon, George Henry; briggs Sea Bird,
Julia Arey, Eliza, Ann and Abner Tay-
lor; ships Lochinvar and William H.
Wltherle.
Like all his brothers, he rose rapidly
to the berth of master mariner. The YES
sells that he commanded were the schoon-
ers Susan Taylor, President. Elizabeth,
Hattie, Anna, Matte Holmes, briggs Will
liam Moore, C. C. Billings. bark Iron
sides and ship Hattie E. Tapley.
He retired from the sea in June, 1894,
rounding out almost half century on
the salt water. During his sea- aring
career he made nineteen voyages to the
West Indies. crossed the North Atlantic
twenty-six times. crossed the South At
lantic and the Indian ocean four times,
doubled Cape Horn nine times and cross
ed the equator seventeen times. Ellis
