the servant girl employed by W. E.

awakened by some one passing through
her sleeping chamber out into the hall
way. She quietly arose. locked the
door Of her room, and passed out onto
the porch through the open windowby
which the burglar entered. Here she
found a ladder, down which she
climbed, removed it, and then went to
Mr.. Taylor's window and awakened
him, telling him that a robber was in
the house. Mr.. Taylor seized his re
volver, and on entering the kitchen
found the man making his exit through

the burglars body. Annie Berrigan,
the brave domestic, was in waiting
with a club, and when the man fell
wounded from the window she hit him
stealthy blow on the head, which
stunned him for q moment. He then
ran into the e,lley and escaped. The
servant described the man infinitely,
and says he was colored.

A Singular Fatality.
[ From the San Francisco Alta. |

From the San Francisco Ata.l
In the extract from Gen. Grant s
book OF Personal Memoirs" recently
given in the dispatches, there is an &C
count OF his meeting at Appomattox
With Gen. Lee to arrange the terms OF
the surrender of forces under the lat
ter's command. Gen. Grant says: "lt
occurred at the house of a man named
Mclean, who was confederate gen
eral." This is mistake. Wilmer Nc
Lean, the man referred to, was not in
the Southern army at all. He was q
non-combatant and over age for con-
scription at the time of the war. He
must, however, have thought there
was q fatality attending his movements
as he involuntarily witnessed the first
battle of Bull Run and the close of the
war at Appomattox. He was native
of Alexandria, Va, who, after being
engaged for some time in business In
that town-the firm of Kerr & Nc Lean,
wholesale and retail grocers, was
years ago well known throughout the
surrounding country-movedo out near
Manassas and engaged in farming.
His house was taken by Gen. Beau
regard as his headquarters previous
to and after the battle Of Bull Run.
Mclean moved away from fireplace
after the fight and purchased another
place at Appomattox, for the express
purpose OF removing his family from
the scene of war. Instead, however, OF
succeeding in this, the Earlike opera
tions shifted to his immediate neighbour
hood and his own house was again
occupied for military purposes. 1t has
become famous in history, and the
name of its owner, with all his reluc-
tance to be connected with the war, and
his endeavor to escape from it, is
indelibly associated with the closing
scene of the great drama. The table
on which the terms of surrender were
drawn by Gen. Grant, accepted, by
Gen. Lee, and signed by them, was
purchased by Gen, Ord, and was a
conspicuous article of furniture in his
parlor at his house at Black Point,
when that officer was in command of
this military department. Thegeneral
always called the attention of visitors
to it, and was fond Of narrating the
Incidents connected with the surrender,
at which he was present., being corps
commander. The table was a SUBJ
stantial mahogany round table of the
old fashioned parlor size TWAS made
at Green's cabinet factory in Alexan-
dria, Va, and had been many years in
the possession OF Mclean before it be-
came identified with the grand histori-
cal event of Lees surrender.

The Wonders of a Great Industry
From the Boston Globe

ANO6SOAA
In 1886 the state of Massachusetts
made, in round Numbers, 16, 100000
pairs of boots and shoes; in 1914,
20,000,000; in 1854, 45,OO0,OOO; in
1864, 51,OOO,OOO; in 1874, 59,OOO,-
900; in 1880, $4,000, 900, andin 1884
estimated over 1OO,00O,00O. II
this Is not progress it would be difficult
to say In what progress consists.
The value of this vast product is es-
timated at $780, 100000; and good
authority even places it at the super
lative amount of $3.50, 100000. Such
is the pleasant little sum gathered in
by the boot and shoe manufacturers
and merchants of Massachusetts
every year. In the great production
Lynn ranks first, with an annual bust
ness of nearly $3O,OOO,OOO. Haver-
hill stands second, with more than
$1O,OOO,OOO. Brockton occupies the
third place, with 100000. Num-
Der four on the list is Marlboro, which
does a business of 100000.
Worcester comes next, with over 81,
100000; then Weymouth, then
Natick, while Boston stands eighth in
the matter of production.
New England furnishes more than
two-thirds of the total product Of the
country, Massachusetts the bulk OF
the New England product, and Essex
County the lions share of the states
business. Lynn is still king in spite OF
all the changes that have occurred in
the trade in the last half century.
The growth of this great industry to
such stage Of Importance is a matter
of fascinating interest to all classes OF
readers, not more to those engaged in
this branch of the trade than to the
wider circle who en- Joy the fruits of the
general prosperity in which this bust
ness has been SO large factor. Par
ticularly interesting to business men
will be the record of thepast few weeks
and the prospect for the future. The
boot and shoe trade, owing to the ex-
haustion of the stock, has come into a
condition peculiarly sensitive to any
increased demand for goods, and the
figures show that that demand has
been steadily increasing of late. Man
ufacturers who know whereof they
speak are already welcoming the signs
of the times as Indicative of a gradual
but sure restoration of confidence and
business activity. II this is to be true
of the boot and shoe business, it will
also be true of business in general, and
the facts presented in this direction
are well worth the perusal of all classes
OF merchants and business men.

A Parrot in Disgrace.
TFrorn the Schenectady Union !

[From the Schenectady Union.7
Children's day was celebrated in the
Methodist Church at Rexford Flats,
Sunday, and the church was hand
somely decorated with flowers, while
numerous canaries in cages suspended
about the edifce added their sweet
music to the singing Of the children.
One lady, not having a canary, brought
an accomplished but not genteel par
rot. The parrot behaved quite we'll
for time, but finally when a little boy
OF his acquaintance began a recita-
ton, the bird commenced to mock
him, causing considerable amusement
to the congregation and greatly an
noying the boy. Finally the parrot
screeched out: "Hey you little devil'
which had the effect of completely
breaking up the youthful declaimer
and almost demoralizing the congrega-
ton. The bird was led out of the
church in disgrace.
