not been in robust health for some years,
but continued actively engaged in bust

life without means, and succeeded in
amassing large fortune. At the time
OF his death he was president both of the
Cedar Point Iron Company and of the
First National Bank of Port Henry. He
owned third interest in the firm Of
Witherbee, Sherman & Co., and was a
director of the Port Henry Iron Ore
Company, besides being largely identified
with the business interests Of Northern

remembered, however, for his large. heart.

Fatal Epidemic.

An Australian correspondent of the
London Times writes that twenty thous.
and FIJI islanders have fallen victims ol
the measles within the last three months
When attacked with the disease, they re.
fuse all treatment therefor, plunge into
the rivers and streams to take their ac
customed baths, and will not remain with
IN doors, exposing themselves to rain and
winds. Consequently the disease strikes
in and death ensues. Furthermore, they
are imbued with Mohammedan ideas oil
iatalism, and believe as soon as attacked
that they must die, and hence can not be
prevailed upon to take medicines or any
precautionary measures So great is the
power of Imagination. that when told they
look i'll, they will become panic stricken
refuse to eat, and die in few days
Among those who have fallen victims tC
this scourgo and their own ignorance ore
the leading chiefs, and the majority @
those who signed the deed Of cessiou.

The Telegraph Monopoly.

OF course Though there is no abso.
lutte consolidation as yet, an understand
ing seems to have been reached by the
managers of the rival telegraph lines, and
the rates between New York and the
neighboring cities are, to-day, doubled.
The press of the country, which is
helplessly in the tolls of the Western I'm.
ion, will say nothing against this outrage,
and the business public will be almost
wholly unrepresented in regard to this
important matter Of telegraph charges.
But everything is working right. Let
th telegraph conn anies put up tho pri.
ces. Let Jay Con get the commercial
public by the throat, The end cannot be
very far off The public sometimes has
ideas which do not got into the newspa

strangle this giant monopoly by Con,
