The story comes that George Hill,
who left here so mysteriously two years
ago, is regular denizen of New Orleans.
Trace of him has been obtained through
his pawning to brother-mason his Knight

way Hills whereabouts became known.
The individual who lent Hill the money

1t is with unfeigned sadness that we
record the death of Michael J. Carroll,
which occurred last Sunday morning,
January 20, 1929, at ten minutes past
O'Clock, at his home in the Fourth ward.
Deceased was born in the town of En-
met, Dodge county, January %, 1865,
sothat had he lived until to-day he would
have reached the age of "a years.
Something over year ago that insid-
ious destroyer, consumption. began to
make inroads upon his constitution, and
he took a trip 10 California last winter in
the hope of averting the disease Mr..
Carroll's visit to the Pacific coast, how
ever, rendered him no relief, and he re-
turned in the spring with his health still
broken. Frem that time onward his de-
cline was gradual until he finally sank
into that eternal sleep which knows no
awaking. 1t is sad to contemplate the
death of one SO young, having the re-
sponsibilities of life opening UP to him in
a manner that gave assurance of bright
prospects for the future. Truly, his was
a realization of the line,
''Brief life is here our portion"
No one 80 fully feels the force of this than
his sorrowing father, who is thus bereft
of the anchor of his hope and the JOY of
his declining years.
Mr. Carroll engaged in business before
he was 10, taking charge of real estate
interests of his fathers at East Grand
Forks, Mimi. Coming back to this city
in September, 1883, he formed part
nership with T. S. Clark in the book and
stationery business, the firm being dis
solved last May. From that time up
to his death Mr.. Carroll carried on the
same line of business at the former stand
of Clark & Carroll AS business man
Mr.. Carroll was prompt and painstaking
and perfectly reliable in all his transact
ions. He was popular with large circle
of friends, snd his death is learned by
them with extreme sorrow.
The funeral of the deceased was held
from st. Demands church yesterday morn
ing, many uniting to pay the last tribute
of respect to the memory of one who in
life was SO highly esteemed and respected.

A Clue to the Pipersville Robbie

A Clue to the Pipersvlle Robbery.
A few days after the robbery at j. Piper
& Sons store, in Pipersville, last fall, j.
Book, who lives in the old James place,
on the Milford road, IN the Third ward,
discovered under bis barn package con-
tanning an undershirt and a few other
articles, together with some papers, which
proved to have been taken from the
Pipers. to whom they were returned.
Little was thought of the transaction un-
I'll Monday afternoon, when Mr.. Book
saw tramp looking under bis barn at
the exact place where the package was
found Upon being discovered the tramp
ran towards the Junction and had lust
time enough TO get aboard the halfpast
one o'clock train for the east. Mr.. Book
followed and also boarded the train, and
both got off at the St. Paul depot. Mar
shall Zautner was telephoned for and was
soon on hand searching for the tramp,
who could not De discovered, however.
although several of his companions were
nabbed and taken to the lookup to give
an account of themselves, and, if possible.
render some clue to their associate so con-
cerned about the under part of the Book
barn. But no trace was found of the
principal, and the others were taken be-
fore Justice Stacy and told to quit the
towr within an bour, which command
they obeyed like little men. There is
little doubt that the tramp wanted could
have unraveled the mystery that hangs
about the Pipersvile robbery.

Matters.

"attSiN
There are some peculiar qualities OF
the Mexican mind which will, for
while, stand in the way Of quick prog
ress. Thus, very few of them viii buy
their railroad tickets until the train is
In full view Of the station; and, until .
short time ago, preferred paying their
cash TO the conductor. They have an
incomprehensible itching to defer any
enterprise, or even trivial work, until
the morrow. When these defects Of
their disposition and training are un-
derstood, and patience and manage
ment are exercised, q fair service can
be got out of them. As exemplifying
how little Mexicans know of the rights
Of common carriers, the other day,
when Gen. Diaz stopped here, the
company, as q courtesy, rendered the
municipality the use of their cars for the
Generals party. Thereupon the city
authorities undertook TO let everybody
have free ride, and, until the matter
was legally explained to them. threat
ened trouble TO the railway people.
These mistakes Of the Mexicans, IN
their dealing with our people. spring
not so much from a desire 10 annoy a.

The Age Of American Novels.

There have been sixty years of Amer
Jean noyels-for it is about that time
vince Cooper dashed into prominence
with his Spy" and his sea-stories, and
his character OF Leatherstocking. He
was our forlorn hope for some years
since Irving could not properly be called
q novelist; but now our authors, like
misfortunes, come not single spies, but
In battalions," and there is ruck OF
novels. good, bad and worse, which
originate here. Of these it is every
where admitted now that Hawthorne's
romances stand first, and three Of these
the Scarlet Letter" "Blithedale Ro-
nance" and Marble Faun, /" are just is
sued by Houghton, making two vol
umes OF the new Riverside" edition in
twelve volumes, six Of which have
now appeared. These three books
the first of which made Hawthorne's
worldly fame, and the other two con-
firmed il in different direc.ions-may be
taken, then, as indicating quite fully
the authors peculiar genius by which
he became famous, and will be remem-
bered long after our realists of to-day
are forgotten. II WAS because Haw-
thorne idealized character, not be-
cause he set it forth in the hard photo
graph of reality. that he ranks among
great writer's, for he was singularly
wanting in realism. Hardly one Of his
personages could have had an actual
existence in the world Where he places
them-neither Hester Pr, nne, nor her
old deformity Of a husband, nor her
clerical lover, nor Zenolna, Hollings-
worth, Priscilla, Hilda, nor any of these
characters except, perhaps, Miles Cow
erdale himself, who is Hawthorne un-
der Transformation. Yet, unreal as they
are, they mask and uLmask the most
real aspects of human experience-now
one and now another, and especially the
shifting phases of love and sorrow-the
two rliyersals of human life, not to
mention sin, which in Hawthorne's
scheme, as in the theologic system OF
New England, is deeper universal
than either. Contrasted with these
ideal figures of passion, how superficial
appear the amusing embroideries OF
Mr.. Howells and Henry James-the
heavy and repulsive castings and carv-
ings of Tourgueneff, Zola, and q hun
dred able novelists. 1t is with philo-
sophie realists like George Eliot, not
with mere writers for entertainment like
Henry James, that Hawthorne must be
compared. And these last must cease
to write merely for entertainment and
for purely didactic uses, too, if they
would escape the common lot Of the
novelist-to be forgotten In twenty
years, or at most fifty years. Who
reads now the popular novels of 1882
Who knows even their names Boston
