Rev. George Weber, ID. ID.

Rev. DR.. Weber, whose death is announced
elsewhere, was for many years one of the lead
ing clergymen in the Methodist Church of
Maine. In many respects he was without an
equal. At the time of his death he was "a
yesrs of age, and had been in the active minis
try almost 40 years. Of his earlier history and
education we cannot at this time gather any
information, beyond the fact that he was born
in York county. For many years he has had
the most important appointments in the Con-
ference. In 1888 and '39, and afterwards in
1874 and As, he was settled over the Chestnut
street church, and in 1869 and go over the
Congress street church. He was then appointed
Presiding Elder of the Portland district, per-
forming the arduous duties of the position four
years. He was then appointed to the same
responsible position in the Read6eld district,
holding the same four years, and had served
three years over the Gardiner district when, by
his own request, through broken health, he was
superannuated by the Conference of 1914
year before his sad death. About sixteen years
ago he was prominent candidate in the
General Conference for Bishop, ard as such re-
ceived large vote About the same time the
degree of D. d. was conferred upon him by the
Wesleyan University.
In many respects he was remarkable man,
combining rare executive ability, with scholarly
attachments and remarkable powers as a
preacher. About year ago his nervous sys-
tenn broke down under the weight of years and
severe labor, and in his last days he was but a
wreck of the Jealous and marked man he was
in the church for nearly half century.

THE ALLEGRETTI IcEBERG.-The Iceberg
is the only Refrigerator scientifically CONSTRUCT
ed so as to secure the one absolutely preserving
temperature which nature provides in its sup
ply of ice; namely, 80 degrees Fahrenheit. No
invention of man can ever hope to excel th's
provision of nature; for below this point, even
one degree of temperature. all vegetable lie
will be destroyed, and every degree OF temper
allure added above that point, only deducts SO
much from the efficiency of the preserving
power.
The highest awards over all competitors at
the last annual Exhibitions of the American
Institute, 1873 and 1874
Those in want of Refrigerator should not
fail to call and examine them at the Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine Rooms.
