Castine Normal School.

One of the largest classes in many
years was graduated from the East
ern State Normal school at Castine
last week. There were sixty-one
young women and six men in the
class.
The school is at present the larg-
est it has been since State normal
schools were opened in Washington
and Aroostook counties, as prior to
that the Castine school drew from
those counties. During the war the
enrolment dropped as low as TWEEN
ty-nine, but there is every indication
that the coming year will see large
increase over the student body,
which numbered $50 the past year.

CENTENNIAL OF 1875.
A Fourth Of July Celebration IL
Porto Platte, Hayti.

A Fourth of July Celebration in
Porto Platte, Hayti.
(By T. c.. Moon, formerly of Hancock)
The opening of the Sesqui Gen.
tennial exhibition in Philadelphia
recalls the centennial exhibition of
1876. was sailor in those days,
and in April of that year I arrived in
Boston from winter voyage. l
then shipped as mate on the
schooner James X. Lawrence of
Ellsworth. Capt. Henry c. Herrick
of Surry was in command. We
sailed for Bangor and loaded the
lumber for New York. On arrival
there, the captain chartered to take
general cargo to Porto Platte,
Hayti, and San Domingo City.
We arrived in Porto Platte on the
morning of July 3. The captain re-
ported to the customs officials and
the American consul. When he re-
turned on board, he said that the
American consul was a Mr.. Doug
lass, son of Fred Douglass, the noted
negro author, who was born a slave.
The captain said the consul was go
ing to give grand ball in honor OF
the centennial, and that all ships
officers were invited to attend. Soon
after that, a boat from the consuls
office came to the schooner and two
official envelopes were delivered to
the captain. One of them was adj
dressed to the mate. l kept my in
vitation many years. There was only
one other American vessel in port,
and that was the schooner Annie D.
Merritt. I think she belonged in
Bangor, but know she was Maine
vessel.
We attended the reception and
ball. Officers of the American
schooners were given seats of honor.
All city and foreign officials were
present. The consul, Mr.. Douglass,
was a fine looking man. He did not
have negro features. He gave us a
hearty welcome. I saw some very
beautiful women there. 1t was a
strange sight to me, as nearly all OF
those present were negroes, but the
affair was the same as if all were
white people.
A few days later we sailed for
San Domingo City, and discharged
the remainder of our cargo. This
port is one that was visited by
Columbus on one of his voyages.
There was large tree near the
river, called Columbus tree. There
was a tradition that Columbus land
ed from his boat under that tree.
San Domingo City was once a
walled city, and part of the wall
was standing at that time. One of
the city gates was in good condition,
and also one of the watch towers
built on top of the wall was stand
ing. The towers were erected for
the purpose of concealing a man
who could watch for enemies and at
the same time be protected from the
arrows or other missiles.
We loaded logwood for New
York, and had a fine passage. We
brought a load of coal from New
York to Boston, then we sailed for
Bangor, and loaded with lumber for
Philadelphia. We arrived there
about the first of October. My duties
as mate kept me from seeing much
of the exhibition, but the captain let
me off duty one day. My first wish
was to see the old Liberty bell l
saw all that l could in one day, but
1 had the privilege Of seeing some
thing of the Centennial exhibition OF
1876. 1 often think of that Fourth
of July spent in Porto Platte, Hayt1.

oil, including crude. heavy whale oil,
was employed, and later lard oil was

The HOT WEATHER
CAUSES SUFFERING
Last Thursday And Friday We're
The Warmest In Many Years
In Milford.

The intense hot weather of last
Thursday and Friday created havoc
in many of the manufacturing plants
in Milford, and caused much suffer-
ing to the wOrkmen. On Thursday
the government thermometer regis
tered SO degrees and on Friday the
high mark was 100 degrees. Both
days the humidity was exceedingly
high which resulted in almost un-
bearable heat. Several reports of
thermometers standing in the sun
registering as high as 120 degrees
were reported. Many of the manu-
featuring plants were compelled to
close down because of the heat. The
L. D. Caulk Company shut down Fri
day until Monday morning. On the
farms in lower Delaware the farmers
were unable to work during the heat
of the day; and many of them re-
versed their working hours so that
they started early in the morning
and worked late into the evening.
The temperature on Friday was the
highest of any day for about ten
years past. The excessive rainfall
during July caused the extreme hui
midity which caused the suffering
from the heat. On Saturday the
weather changed and this week has
been very pleasant with a tempera-
ture -averag aging about IS degrees.

FORMER JUDGE MARVEL
MENTIONED FOR CONGRESS
Prominent Wilmington Attorney Be-
ing Backed By Sussex Democrats

A political move of more than pass
ing interest has started in Sussex
County, whereby Democrats in the
lower county are mentioning former
Judge David T. Marvel, of Whining
ton, for the Democratic nominee for
Representative in Congress. Judge
Marvel was born in Sussex County
and grew to early manhood near
Georgetown. He served the state
well as Judge for Sussex County, and
during the administration Of Cover
nor Reynolds he was appointed Sec
retary of State of Delaware. This
Office he likewise served with credit
to himself. For twenty years past
Judge Marvel has been head of the
law firm of Marvel, Marvel, Layton
and Hughes Of Wilmington. He is
still actively engaged in the practice
of his profession and enjoys the con-
fdence and good will Of thousands Of
friends in Wilmington and the rural
districts of the state. While the
movement in the lower part of the
state to nominate Mr.. Marvel has
not reached boom proportions, there
are numerous members of his party
in Kent and Sussex Counties who are
said to be ready to back him should
he announce himself a candidate.
