Bangor will have an anniversary.
on Oct. - which breaks the records
of unique anniversaries for it was on
the afternoon OF Oct 80, 1853, that,
when dusk fell the first kerosene oil
lamps were lighted in this com
munity, says the Commercial. Dir.
Daniel w. Maxiield recalls this an
niversary because it was Just one day
before his wedding and that took
place 81 years ago. Kerosene oil cost
in those days just $1.40 gallon. On
the day when tho firm of Kicker and
Ireland received their first consign-
ment of oil lamps six Bangor men
purchased them. DR.. Maxfield pur-
chased one and perhaps no wedding
gift has ever been more unique in
practically. The lamps cost S1.5O
each. They were of the standing
lamp so-called, type that is in use
now wherever glass lamps are used.
The glass column UNFOLDING the oil
pot was fixed in square of white
marble and they were attractive
lamps and much sought after for the
sale was brisk after that. Put ON
that first day six men bought the
lamps for their homes. One was sold
to the late DR.. Blaisdell: Messrs.
Kicker and Ireland each purchased
one; the late Henry Williams pur-
chased one, and DR.. Maxfield one. All
are dead now save DR.. Maxfield. The
sixth lamp was purchased by some
one whose name cannot now be re-
called. But six lamps burning kero-
sene were lighted on Oct 20, 1858,
and their light, say those who know.
was as far superior to the old time
fluid lamp as the electric light is SUI
perior to oil lamps.

COMMISSION GETS
RIVAL SHIP CLAIMS
British Call for Imperator to
Be Settled.

WASHINGTON, Oct. DISCRIMINATION
are in progress by cable between the
officials in Washington and Paris re-
garding the disposition of the former
German liner Imperator and other pas
senger steamships which were used for
the transportation of American troops
but now are claimed by the British Gov
eminent under allotment by the Repa-
rations Commission. and 1t is regarded
as probable that the question will be
settled by that commission.
1t was said at the State Department
to-day there was not necessarily any
connection between these passenger
ships and the Standard OIL Company
tankers which were allotted by the Repa-
rations Commission to other Powers be-
cause they had been sailed under the
German flag. though of American own
ership.
1t is felt by officials here that there
is some urgency in the matter. as the
British steamship companies to which
the German liners were allotted are
maintaining in New York at consider
J able expense several hundred sailors
who were brought over to New York
to man the ships.
So far as the oil tankers are con-
cerned it is understood the British Gov
eminent view is that they should be
turned over to the American owners, as
the British contention always has been
that not the flag but the actual owner
ship should determine title to such
craft But the allotment having been
made by the Preparations Commission

the power of the British Government TO
