DEATH OF A. t. STEWART.

Inc great new loIh mtEclauL, AlcA- 4
ander T. Stewart, died on Monday last,
aged 70 years. Mr.. Stewart came from
Ireland when young man, and after a
few years Of labor in New York, set up
business for himself. His career has
been one Of unexempled prosperity, and
be died the most successful merchant in
America. His property is estimated
from seyenty-fve 70 one hundred mil
lions. How one man could amass such
a property in fifty years Is astonishing.
The sum itself is almost beyond compre-
hension. Computation shows that he
has accumulated, on an average, more
than two dollars and a half every mo-
ment Of bis life; and that it would Ike
a man more than three years to count
this vast sum, counting at an ordinary
rate. Mr.. Stewart devoted time. ener-
gy and talent to his business, and gave
every important branch of it critical at
tention, almost up to the time of his
death. He was not noted as a benevo-
lent man, though considered honest. He
made very few endowments, and his
name will not descend to posterity along

A PRACTICAL JOKE.

Doctor j. H. siddall, for many years one of the
leading dentists, played practical joke on US the
other day most Unexpectedly. We announced
some six weeks ago that he had extracted for us
dozen and half Of teeth, making us toothless.
Last week, on Wednesday, at the Doctors Office,
he took an impression for an upper artificial set
promising them by Monday or Tuesday of this
week, so that we might show our teeth in Cincin.
natl during the Convention if we had occasion to
open our mouth. On Friday, however, the Doctor
dropped in to our place, and wanted just to try
again that he might get good fit and he hoped to
be ready by Monday. In order to be very private,
too we went up stairs ourselves, the junior along.
We Immediately sat down and opened wide the
mouth. Accordingly the Doctor promptly placed
something we had not seen against the upper part
of the mouth, fitted 1t and pressed 1t, and had us
laugh little, to see for himself how we looked
and all that, and then rapidly started down stairs
saying, There, hold on to them, and you'll have
some teeth as well as other folks" OF couse we
held on to them and still hold on and are getting
accustomed to them and must acknowledge the
ready artistic skill of Doctor Siddall. By-and.
bye he promises us lower set, so that we may
chew food, thingw have not done much for
many years.

DEATH OF HENRY FRIES.

Henry Fries, Cashier under Treasurer
Fenton, of this county, died at his resi-
dence on Walnut Hills yesterday about
I o'clock, of carbuncle of the neck, after
a sickness Of about five days. Mr.. Fries
was favorable known in this community,
having filled a number of positions of
honor and trust in the county. The re-
cord Of his life is a simple but honorable
one, and accounts for the wide personal
popularity and respect which he enjoyed.
He was born in Pennsylvania, and had
reached the age of sixty-four years. He
began life as a shoemaker, but develop
ing fine clerical capabilities, obtained a
position in the office Of the State Auditor,
His first office in Hamilton county was
under his brother DR.. George Fries, in
1887, and he filled desks under Cruik-
shank, Gefroy and others. Dropping
out of the county list he served in govern
ment employ under General McGroarty,
and was a Deputy under Sheriff George
Zeigler. Treasurer Fenton reinstated
him in his more congenial line, and he
died in the harness. He was quiet and
unassuming, honest and genial, widely
known and we'll liked Cincinnati En-

KATIE PUTNAM.-A fair audience greeted this
rising young actress at the Opera House last
Thursday evening, when she rendered the char
acters of Little Nell" and "The Marchioness' in
Dickens Old Curiosity Shop. We were sorry in
deed that much larger audience was not pres
ent, for Miss Putnam has improved greatly since
her last appearance in Canton, though even then
he was sparkling, bright and excellent in her
renditions Her acting on this occasion ELECTED
the deepest admiration of all present. Whether
as the patient, enduring and angelic Little Nell,
or as the dirty faced, ragged and pert Marchioness
she was equally perfect, and held the undivided
attention Of her auditors. The songs introduced
by her in both characters were not her smallest
points of attraction and all through her sudden
changes from Nell to the MarChioness and back
again, were effective and entirely artistic. The
support was excellent throughout; in fact, IL is
seldom that such superior company is found
travelling anywhere The Dick swiveler Of Geo.
w. Howard was marked for its thorough adhe
renee to nature, and was praiseworthy effort
Mr.. Sullivan did not appear owingto indisposi-
ton, but the characters throughout were well sus-
tained and should the company ever return to
Canton, they will be greeted BY turn out much
more satisfactory to them.

A SUNDAY AT THE MINEs.-On last Sunday we
visited Massillon and the Warrington mine,
which is situated about three miles southwest Of

toned and camped there to afford protection to
the mine, and the new men working in it, During
the course of the day many hundred people from
Massillon, Canton, Navarro and other places Wis
tied this mine, and the roadsides were crowded
with teams, and the woods full of people. Two
young men from Canton occupied a tent and at
tracted much attention and took in about twelve
dollars. They gave sort of a banjo entertain.
ment. The soldiers seem to have nice time of it,
getting two dollars day, that is, day and night,
for they are on duty all the time by detachments,
Many of them, however, are growing weary of the
life, and would like get home, camp life having
become somewhat monotOnous to them. There
was the usual complement of beer shops in the
vicinity, and from the crowds that went to and
fro, they were evidently making success of the
business, financially. The road between Massillon
and this mine was crowded during the greater
part of the day with teams going and coming, and
one would have imagined there was large camp
meeting in successful operation somewhere about
there, if they had not been made acquainted with
the cause of the crowd
