Death or John DOrr, ESQ.

Another of our venerable and well known
citizens, John Dorr, Esq, passed to his rest
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Dorr Was born
in Hallowell, Jan 2lst, 1873, and was con-
sequently in the S4th year of his age. His
father, VIM. Dorr. was for 30 years Deputy
Inspector for Gardiner, Hallowell and Au-
gusta. The subject of this sketch attended
the town schools. and on the 9th of June,
1914, entered the Office of the American Ad
vocate, Hallowell, as an apprentice to the
printing business. The paper published
by Nathaniel Cheever. Finishing his trade
in 1921 young Dorr went to Boston, and
worked as compOsitor on the Boston Daily
Advertiser. In the fall of that year he went
coin Intelligencer, whig paper. In
the fall of 1927, he sold out to Amos
b. Tappan. From 1881 to 1888, he pub
lished the Workmens Advocate, at Bel
fast. In 1889 he came to Augusta and pur-
chased one-half of the Kennebec Journal, be-
coming partner with Luther Severance. who
with Mr.. Russell Eaton had established the
paper in 1928. This co-partnership contin-
ned eleven years and nine months. When
Mr.. Severance was sent Commissioners to
the Sandwich Islands, the establishment was
sold to Wheeler 4 Simpson, Mr.. Dprr retir-
ing in 1880. But his desire to linger about
aprinting office still chung to him and he
was proof reader and clerk in the Office dur
ing portion of the time the paper was in
the hands OF Stevens 4 Blaine, and Stevens
Sayward. After this lie was in the drug
gist business here for seven years, in partner
ship with William Craig, finally retiring
from business on competency in January,
1867. He had more than forty years OF hard
working life, often being employed at the case
while he was publisher, and doing all other
kinds Of work about the office, the early
EFFORTS of newspaper men in this State being
rarely remunerative. lie was married IN
1925, and lived in the companionship OF
most excellent wife for more than half CEN
fury. Mrs Dorr died on the gath of Novem-
Der, 1876. He leaves two adopted children,
Mr. Geo. w. Dorr of Waterville, and the
wife of Mr.. John w. Chase of this city. In
the pleasant home of the latter, surrounded
by plenty and all the joys calculated TO
smooth his pathway down the western de-
elivity, the closing years of his life-fhe mel
low, sunset period-have been spent.
Mr.. Dorr vas man of extensive knowi-
edge and ever kept his memory well refresh
ed on all the current topics of the day.
Holding soidly to the good old maxims ana
many of the customs of the past, he never
fheless hailed with JOY the march OF science
and the progress of events. His later hie

now CIGARETTES AR MADE.
What Becomes OF the Cigar Butts
Gathered In the Streets.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

mica lOta grassa- hOpp," said Guis-
seppa Rocco IN half tone of inquiry,
while his soft italian eyes took in the
cart load of old cigar stumps that were
toasting in the sun il the rear of No. SIG
Carpenter street on Saturday afternoon.
In that great pile Of filthy, nicotine
soaked stumps were the remnants Of
Henry Clays and Wheeling stOgies,
reduced to common level, as the grass
hopper" hunter receives no more for a
bushel gathered from the sweepings of
a fashionable hotel than he does for the
same quantity lifted from gutter. ooze of
the Sums.
"Wherc did you get them2" asked the
reporter
''Everybod linda de stump; everybod
sella de stump; everybod getta de mon"
Exhausted by this dialectic explana-
ton, Mr. Rocco showed his teeth in
smile and lazlly scratched his back
against the jamb of the door There
were abOutten bushels of the stumps LAID
out to dry, and twice that quantity of
cured butts were seen in thirdstory
room.
Rocco is one of half dozen Italians
make a business of buying cigar stumps
from the horde of youthful scavengers
who live in the Italian quarter of this
city. An active boy or girl will collect
half buShel of the stumps in an hour
or so, the work being done between
daylight and eight o'clock, and between
those hours all the principal streets
in the heart of the city are cleaned.
The children receive no fixed price
for the stumps, but ten or fifteen cents
paiful is usually paid. The buyers,
men like Rocco, wash the tilthiest
stumps and spread them out to dry. A
day or so later they are crumbled into
shreds and allowed to dry twenty-four
hours longer before being packed in
flour barrels and shipped to New York.
A barrel of this stump tobacco is worth
81 90, but few years ago, when there
was a strong demand for it in Philadel-
phia the Italian dryers received a trifle
more for it. The stumps were made
into snuff in Philadelphia, but when
johnson q Carlins factory, on Third
street above Arch, was destroyed bv
fire IN 1878, the local demand ceased.
This filthy grade of tobacco is now
bought by manufacturers of cigarettes
and fine cut chewing tobacco. A whole.
sale tObaccOnist of many years expert
ence declares that when the stump to-
baccO is ground, bleached, favored and
made up in cigarette paper, no one but
an expert can detect the difference be-
tween it and the new leaf
