2 STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW AND living happily at the age OF 103 Incidents in the Life of Mrs. Azubah F. Ryder, of Orrington Centre, Me.— She Comes of a Long-Lived Family and Has Scores of Descendants. From the Boston Globe. An interesting centenarian, who has rela tives and friends all over New England, is Mrs. Azubah Freeman Ryder of Orrington Centre, Me. Mrs. Eliza P. Marshall,of North Bncksport. Me., writes the following of her in the Bucksport Clipper: Mis. Azubah Freeman Ryder tv as bom in Eastham, Mass., Jan. 5. 1784. Her parents, Timothy Freeman, and Beruiah Nicker son Freeman, arrived at Orrington Dec. 17, 1788. They came in a sailing vessel, on which the cooking was done in a tire place. They brought with them seven daughters and three sons, the youngest child being the subject of this sketch. Mr. Freeman settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Witham. He was one of the first board of selectmen in Orrington, and the find representative to the General Court of Massachusetts from Orrington. He died Sept. 11, 18118. TV hen Washington was elected and assumed the duties of the first President of the United States Miss Azubah was a little girl, 5 years of age, playing in the sunshine and learning to read, knit and sew. When Washington died a memorial sermon was delivered iu Orrington. A grave had been dug and Miss Azubah was one of the sixteen young ladies, each one 16 Years of age, representing the sixteen States of the Union’ who walked around the ojien grave, anil scattered flowers and sang a hymn composed by a citizen of Orrington lor the occasion. M iss Azubah was a suc cessful school teacher before and sifter her marriage. The building in which she taught the young ideas of these days "how to shoot” was called the Pine-top schoolhouse, and stood in a pine forest on the land now owned by Wallace T. Little and formerly owned by John Pollard. She was married to Samuel Ryder of Provincetown. Mass., in 1806. Her wedding outfit of linen, cotton and woolen garments, bed clothes, table linen and towels, and her wedding dress of white linen, were all manu factured by herself from the raw mam rial. She manufactured the first suit of new- clothes her husband hail after their marriage. It was brown, dyed in the wool, and fulled at the mill. He was very proud of it. Mi-s. Ryder united with the Methodist Episcopal chureV. abou; 1811. The old church which she attended was used for a town house after the new church was built, but was torn down some few years ago. It stood on tae farm now owned bv "VVarren N*-kerson. Ti e foundation is still to be seen on the west side of the town road. When tbj Methodist Episcopal church at South Orrington was organized Mr. and Mrs. Ryder were among the first members. In 1814 Mr. and Mrs. Ryder lived at her father’s mid when the United States ship-of war, Adams, carrying twenty-four guns was deserted bv her crew at Hampden, Mr. Ryder, who belonged to the militia, was sent to row four of her officers in a five-handed open boat to Boston. On the afternoon of Sept. 3, Mi's. Ryder sat by the window sow ing and her th f*i children playing on the doorstep. Sh-, noticed soldiers passing by in the distance and supposed them to be the militia. Soon her sister Lydia called and said thev were Briti-h soldier* and that the British fleet was below, sailing up the river. Mrs. Ryder started and walked with her children to Orrington. Centre to Cape Bar zilla Rich’s, and that night her fourth child, Deborah, was born The farm is now owned by Michael Rich, son of Barzilla. Her hus band arrived home after quite a long ab sence from his perilous undertaking, which he had accomplished in safety, and was wel comed back as one returned from the dead. They afterward owned and lived on the farm in South Orrington, now owned by their youngest sou, aged 67 years, Capt, John Atkins Ryder. Mr. Ryder died in 1861. The names of their eight children are: Samuel Ryder, Orrirgton; Thomas Ryder, Providence, It. I.; Mi-s. Jane T. Rooks, Mrs. Deborah Fow ler, Miss Carolin Rvder, Mrs. Mary Ann Wood, Miss Azubah Ryder, Capt. John At kins Ryder of Orrington Only t hree of their children are living, Samue’, Thomas and John Atkins. Mrs. Azubah Freeman Ryder resides with lier eldest sou, who is in his 80th year, Sam uel Ryder, Orrington. We had the pleasure of calling upon her Saturday Oct. 15, 1887, and found her enjoying good health; she is straight as an arrow and very handsome, sweet and neat. She puts off and on her clothing without assisstanoe, makes her own bed. and likes to wash dishes and sweep the room. She related a story of when she used to stay alone with three little children, and the liears. which were plenty in those days, would come and look through the fence close to the house. She made the re mark to us: "I dread the cold weather, but Providence knows what is best for us." Mrs. Ryder has nineteen living grand children, thirty-three great-grandchildren and live gveat-great-c ra i> ■ Ich i I dren. She has lived under the administration of all our Presidents and out lived all but two of them. She was 35 years 4 months and 19 days old when Queen Victoria was born. Fulton's first steamboat made its trial trip the same year, 1807, that her eldest sou was born, titopand ponder upon the growth and in ventions of this wonderful nation which she has lived to see. Mrs. Ryder is a descendant of Samuel Freeman, Esq., who went to Massachusetts with Gov. \Yinterop in 11130 and settled in Watertown. He returned to England, leaving his wife and two sons, Samuel and Henry, in Massachusetts. He died in Eng land, and his widow afterward married Thomas Priuce, Governor of Plymouth Col ony. She is a descendant of the son Samuel. Mrs. Ryder belongs to a long lived race. All her brothers and sisters lived until |>ast 90. __ Authors as Readers.

A Shoe Firm’s Original Way of An nouncing- Its Embarrassment. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 38. —The sign “closed to take stock’’ was displayed in front of the wholesale boot and shoe house of W. D. Robinson & Cos. to-day. The house had branched out extensively iu the last year, and the expense of this ex tension, in addition to a i>oor season and slow collections brought on the crisis. Mr. Robinson did not believe the firm would bo forced to assign, and had no doubt that an equitable adjustment would tie made with the creditors, which will allow them to continue business. The lia bilities are variously estimated at from #40,000 to SIOO,OOO. The assets are unknown, lion M. Dickinson is down asspecial partner, and is credited with owning $25,000 worth of stock, not a dollar of which is his own, he having several years ago invested money for Miss Robinson, sister of W. D. Robin son, and his relations with the firm being purely professional. ELSON PENNILESS. His Backer Took Every Cent He Earned By His Long Tramp. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 38.—Little wood, Albert, Panchot, Noremac and Elson, the five pedestrians who remained to the finish in last week’s go-as-you-please race, and each of whom made over 500 miles, were to-dav given their share of the gate money. The receipts were much loss than expected, and there was considerable grumbling by the pedestrians when in formed of the amounts to lie given them. The total amount of the gate receipts was $5,337 One-half of this amount, $3,668 was divided among the prize winners, Little wood receiving $1,300, Albert $667. Pan chot S4OO, Noremac $‘267, and Elson $133. Poor old man Elson, who succeeded in making the 500 miles, allowing him to re ceive a portion of the gate money, is left oenniless, foot-sore and broken-hearted. His backer, who paid his entrance fee of SIOO, took every penny of the $133 allotted to him. notwithstanding the old man’s pro tect. The backer declared that what Elson earned was not sufficient to reimburse him for what he had expended. AMERICAN VESSELS SEIZED. Two High-Handed Outrages Reported from Nicaragua. New Orleans, La., Nov. 38.—Capt. Brown, of the steamer Harlan, from Blue fields, which arrived here to-day, gives to the press the following letter, dated Nov. 30, which is the only information so far re ceived on the subject: Dear Sir— This morning® an armed force wearing the uniform of Nicaragua boarded the steamer William 8. Moore and the schooner Merida. both owned wholly by Aineri ean citizens, and having licenses from the Mexican government to carry on the business they are engaged in, and took forcible posses sion which they now hold, lhave abandoned everything to them. When asked for their authority they showed me their rifles. Please have this published as soon gs you arrive, so the United States government can hear of the out rage, and oblige, yours truly, N. P. Aixen, Owner of Schooner Merida. A ROMANCE IN TOBACCO. And a Curious Story of the Customs Regulations. New York, Nov. 36. —Business was over on the Stock Exchange for the day and sev eral active operators, whose names are un known to the general public, were discus sing in Delmonico’s the tenor of the mar ket. What they said about stocks was of no earthly consequence to themselves or anybody else: for if they knew anything of the subject with which they were ostensibly familiar they were not giving it away. When it came to tobacco and liquor, how ever, they were frank and authoritative in their opinions One of the group played a cruel trick on his companions by inducing them to smoke an all-tobacco cigarette of the most exquisite flavor and then quietly informing them that none of that kind could be obtaiued in the city. "Of course these were smuggled,” he hastened to admit: “but that is not. the most discouraging feature of the case. I do not know how they can be imported. There Is a pleasing romance suggested by this tobacco. I never puff a blue cloud from this cigarette without seeing a sad, dark face of dazzling beauty smiling at me with her brilliant eyes aglow.” * * * An empty ale bottle happened to be the most handy means of bringing this bit of sentimentalism to an untimely end, and tne speaker nearly swallowed his cigarette as he tried vainly to save his hat front the crushing blow. “It’s a good story, though, and I’m going to tell it,” he exclaimed as he jammed his hat into shape again. “Scene, Mexico: time, a few years ago. A wealthy and aristo cratic gentlemen had the ill-luck to lose his fortune, and when he died from the effects of his loss his widow found herself without the means of living. She was young, hand some and amiable, but she could not even do plain sewing. Her pride excelled her beauty, and rather than depend upon others she would have committed suicide. There was a little strip of laud saved from the wreck of her husband’s fortune on which a fine tobacco grew. The old gentleman had been in the habit of growing his own smoke, and none of the tobacco had ever been sold. His friends knew the flavor of that particular weed, however, and they ad vised the widow to make cigarettes for pri vate sale. Every Mexican woman ean roll tobacco most divinely, and she accordingly adopted the suggestion. She has supported herself ever since and these are some of the cigarettes she made. I bought them at the rate of one Mexican dollar, or 75c. of our money, for a package of 150.” “But why cannot they be imported?” asked an envious member of the group. “Because she has a romantic idea that she will utilize the means at her disposal only for her own support, and will not let any body ussist her in the work. The patronage of Mexican residents is enough to keep her as busy as possible, and she will not under take to push her cigarettes into other mar kets.” “And more than that,” said another broker, “it would be exceedingly difficult to import cigai-s unless we were in the busi ness. The customs regulations are not only severe but peculiar. You cannot import in quantities less than 10,1X10. Timt is too large an amount for a private individual to acquire. I am reminded of an instauee where ft prominent New York Democrat, who had Wen in Mexico, was presented by a friend he had made there with 2,OtX) fine cigars for his own use. He did not try to smuggle them, hut notified the customs offi cers at El Rasa that he had dutiable articles about him and wanted to know how much lie should pay for the cigars. They would not let him pay anything, not because the cigars were evidently for his own use, but because there were 2,0(X) of them. The boxes were accordingly- seized. The New Yorker came home anti wrote to the Treas-. ury Department, where he >vas personally and favorably known, requsting the priv ilege of [laying duty on his 2,(K)J cigars an if there were 10,000 of them. He explained that they were a gift, and that he desired for that reason alone to get them over the border. After a delay of many days his let ter was answered. It had been through the circumlocution office, and decision was fiuaily rendered that under the circum stances, as a special favor to this, prominent Democrat, be would be permitted to pay duty on 1().(XH) cigars for the sake of re ceiving 2,000. but it was not to be looked upon as a precedent. So he finally got the weeds at a cost for the gift considerably higher than he would have had to pay for the same number if he had bought them at retail in this city.” Then the brokers changed the subject for one notably less dry and went home reflect ing on the greatuoss of their native land. F. R. Burton. TTTE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1887. BAD LUCK FOR LABOR PAPERS. Some of the Reasons Why Two of them Died. New York, Nov. 36.—At the time of the November election there were two daily labor paiiers in New York, one of them over a year old, the other but a few weeks old. Both of them are dead. Three months before the election John Sunn ton's Paper, which had been supported for four years at the expense of the editor, went out of exist ence. Since 1870 there have been about a dozen attempts to establish daily or weekly labor papers in this city, but all of them have cotne to grief. It is nearly fifty years since the first organ of" workingmen’s rights” appeared here, but it was rshort-nved, though it had an excellent and able man for its editor. Long afterward came the Workingman's Advocate, which was succeeded by the Labor Standard, and the Toiler, and the Voice of Labor, and the Labor l/nion and numerous others whose very names are forgotten. The Truth (daily) took the labor side five years ago, but it feel into lwnkruptcy. The Telegraph (daily) tried the same course three years ago, but soon perished in the attempt, after sinking $40,000, or about twice as much as was sunk in John S win ton’s weekly. There have lately been reports of new ventures here in the line of the labor press, though the ex periences of the past are not such as to give encouragement to them. The losses by those started within the past twenty years cannot havo lieen less than SIOO,OOO. The facts in the case are curious and not easily explained. The labor organizations here are very strong. IVitliin two years the Knights of Labor alone in the city "have numbered ovr 70,000 members,and if we add to them the strength of tho trade unions not connected with that order, it will give a total of not, fewer than 100,000 organized wage workers in New York City. Every one who lias attended the meetings of any of these bodies has heard the never ending cry for the establishment ot "Labor papers ” It lias looked as though the demand was such as to admit of no denial; and yet all the numerous attempts to supply it. during many years, have been failures sometimes of a very melancholy kind. Not one in a hundred of the.rneinliers of the labor organ izations of the city have ever subscribed for any of the labor papers started in their be half. whether these pajiei's were weeklies or dailies, whether they were conducted with ability or iucompctency, whether they were eo-ojierative or personal, whether they stood for the trades unions or tne Knights of Labor, whether their policy followed any given direction or drifted without direction. In fact, the mere appearance of any labor paper in New York has lieen the signal for a general assault upon it by the leaders of labor organizations, which continued with out cessation till the day of destruction. John Swinton. The Oldest Mule in the World Lavxesville, Ky„ Nov. 38.—Stafford, Va.. some days ago gave to the world the story of a tnule said to be 51 years old. To some this story seemed unreasonable, but to the people of Floyd county who are ac quainted with "Aunt Nancy Honaker and the old mule,” there is nothing wonderful in it. Mrs. Honaker gives her age as 73 years, and the mule, she says, and so do numerous other old inhabitants here, is very well known to have been a resident of this State for sixty year*. He is an importation from Virginia, and may lie a brother of the Staf ford tnule. No one knows how old he was when he emigrated from the Old Dominion. "The old mule” had considerable reputation as a traveler before the war, having, it is said, done service over several Stares, and of his war history* many mysterious stories are whispered about. But the days of the old mule’s usefulness are not yet of the past, as he j 7 et does goo 1 service in the buggy and under the saddle, not being subjected to menial service in the plow and wagon. "The old mule” is to-day healthy and hearty, and bids fair to live out the limit fixed for man, if he has not already passed the period of three score years and ten. RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES.

She was towed up last even ing and will haul out for examination and repairs. ON RAIL AND CRO3STIE. Local and General Gossip in Railway Circles. Capt. William Mickler, chief engineer of the survey of the St. Augustine and Coast Line Railway, to run south eighty-flvo miles from St. Augiustine to New Smyrna, Fla., has completed the location of the first section from St. Augustine to Moultrie and will put a force to grading and constructing as soon as he obtains a right-of-way. A plan for reorganizing and completing the Rome and Decatur road has lieen signed by the holders of $591,000 of the $650,000 of bonds held by the creditors. On account of lack of unanimity, however, a permanent re ceiver has been appointed and authorized to issue at par, and at 7 per cent, interest, $400,000 of receiver’s certificates to pay ex isting liens that would ordinarily bo subor dinate to the first mortgage bonds and to complete the road.

"GO CALMLY, YOU CAN’T WIN BY FORCING." Mrs. Margaret Clark’s Advice to Lot tery Players—She Won $16,020. “Since you will buckle fortune on my back, To bear her burden whe’r I will or no, 1 must have patience to endure the load.” These meaning lines of Shakespeare came vividly to the mind of the reporter of the Picayune, who called Thursday noon at the office of The Louisiana State Lottery Com pany and wasintroduced to Margaret Breen, wife of Thomas Clark. The lady, who is a native of Ireland, County Fermanagh, was accompanied by her husliand. They held in their possession one-tenth ticket number 71,411, which at the last drawing of the lottery liecame enti tled to the capital prize of $150,000. It was in 1859 that the couple were mar ried. They have lived happily together, and have a family of six children, all of whom are full grown. Clark, who has been a boss slater by trade for thirty-one years, pursued the duties of his calling, and Mrs. Clark attended to the affairs of the house hold. Both parents have been heavy play ers in the lottery. The husband, on the other hand, has also been nn ardent player, and has only been successful once, drawing a prize of $250. Mrs. Clark’s advice to her husband has al ways been: “Go calmly; you can’t win by forcing.” Speaking of the monthly drawings, Mrs. Clark stated that the ticket with which she had just drawn the capital prize was the tenth of the kind that she had ever pur chased. When the good woman was handed a check for $15,000 on the New Orleans Na tional Bank, she calmly took it, proceeded to the bank and deposited it for her account. Mr. and Mrs. Clark, who have hitherto been in ordinary circumstances, say they will continue working, but not trouble them selves to any extent. They are, however, proud of their success, but do not believe in the saying: “Every man is the maker of his own fortune, and must be, in some measure, the trumpet of his fame.”— Netv Orleans, La., Picayune, Nov. 12, 1887.
