 In the death of Mr. John E. Ainsworth, whose illness was mentioned two weeks ago, the town loses one of it's most re- spected citizens. MT. Ainsworth was born in Charlton. Mass. May 10, 1814 From there his parents went to Flskdale, where he worked in the mills for some time. While there he married Miss Elsa Rice and soon removed to Brimfeld, where he lived about twenty-five years. It is stated that he is the last one in the town who embraced the doctrine called Millerism in 1 1843. Ever since then he has been most devoted worker in the Second Advent church. About year after the death of his wife, Sept 21, 1862, he married Miss Elizabeth Shaw of Wales, and for twenty years has been resident of this town. A few years ago he was ordained elder by the Advent conference at Worcester. His daily walks in life have been beautiful example of Christian charity ;- every body was vel come under his roof. He was always do. ing good when there was field for action. He has suffered for the past four weeks the most severe pain, but he has gone to the rest he has so longed for. The funeral took place at Brimfeld the 18th, Rev. M. A.. Potter of Worcester officiating. He leaves wife and two sons, one living III South Norwalk and another in Bridgeport, Ct. Too much cannot be said of one who has so faithfully fulfilled his mission. Sleep on dear beloved ehrother in Christ ! take thv rest -e -s+-t . .-.

RATHER FORCIBLE,
Com missioner Guile Talks About
His Colleague, GiertSen.

Yesterday a communication signed
tx" appeared in the evening paper
condemning the action of the police
commission in paying $50 more than the
price asked for the lot recently pur-
chased for the site of the new
North side station, and asking
who got the $50. Commissioner
Guile said yesterday: III know where
that comes from; it is from Giertsen
and you may say in your paper that l
said he was a liar, and that the police
commission has nothing to do with pur-
chase of real property. All that is
done by the council committee on po-
lice, and we have nothing to do with it.
We understand why this comes though,
said he, Eli Giertsen, brother of the
commissioner, wanted to act as agent
in the matter, and submitted prices Oh
several lots, the lowest of which was
$500. The one bought was secured
through Charley Cove, another agent,
for 81, $50, it being the cheapest one of
fered that was in a suitable location.
Now you needn't mince matters at all.
Say Just what l told you, and in those
words if YOU please"

"Of course, the number of steno-
graphers has rapidly increased within
the past few years." remarked George
B. Bower, the expert and instructor in
short hand the other afternoon. But
the supply does not come any where
near equalizing the demand. This past
week | have had three first-class places
to offer to stenographers of fair ability,
and have not been able to get any one
to fill them. You see the introduction
of stenography and typewriting has
revolutionized the methods of conduct
ing correspondence. On the Average
business man can save at least one
fourth, and in instances one-half his
time by debating his letters to a
shorthand writer, and this is
an important saving, for time is
money, besides a man of business is re-
leved from mass of clerical work that
is very burdensome. Five years ago
there were less than dozen shorthand
writers in Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Now there are at least 500 stenOgrapherS
in the two cities. There is no work
that young man can take up that is so
sure of a valuable return. 1t is more of
stepping stone to success might say,

"PHYsICIAN, HEAL THYsELF.'
Minneapolis Register.

Minneapolis Register.
Under the heading "Drive Out the
Parasites" the Star gave utterance to a
lengthy editorial in its Thursday edi-
ton. 1t says:
The people of Minneapolis pay about
$500, 900 annually for the support Of the St.
Paul morning papers.
How much do the people of ST.. Paul pay
annually toward the support Of the Mime
apolis daily papers?
Not one one-hundredth of the above
amount.
The Star becomes patriotic and public
spirited when its interests are affected.
Now that the Star has been swallowed
by the Tribune, and has become part
and parcel of the entrailS of that con-
Germ, it perceiveS an interest in the
morning paper business. While it never
discovered the thing before. it now sees
a mountain OF disaster for Minneapolis
in its patronage of st. Paul morning
sheets. In treating the subject the Star
never once touches upon the truth of
the matter, but gives long string of
abSurditiCS and misstatements that did
they exist would cut no figure in the
case. 1t is probably true that the st.
Paul people do not advertise in the
Minneapolis papers. and there is no rea-
son why they should. They do not
expect to draw trade from Mime
RpOlis to st. Paul, and the
Tribune is unknown in that city.
Why should they advertise in
Minneapolis? But the business men of
Minneapolis look upon advertising as a
business proposition, and when they
are shown that st. Paul circulates more
morning papers in Minneapolis than
Minneapolis does. they give their orders
purely on business basis. The fact is
a humiliating one without doubt, but
the remedy will never be found in scold
ing the people for advertising where
they can get the best returns. Hun
dreds Of Minneapolis people regard the
local pages in the st. Paul morning pa
pers as vastly superior to that of the
Tribune. and read them for that reason.
One of the st. Paul morning papers has
erected an elegant building in Minneap-
oils, which shows more local enterprise
than the Minneapolis concern can boast.
These things cause all true Minneapol-
itanS blush of shame when they reflect
upon them, but there will come no real
good from abusing the ST. Paul papers
for occupying territory they find open

Arthur will be candidate for re-elec-
ton at the convention in Denver, but
he did not express any objection
to Messrs. Vrooman and Cavnee
being candidates also. Mr.. Ar
thur corrected the prevailing i'm
preston that the Brotherhood
of locomotive engineers was crippled
seriously by the strike on the Burling-
ton. He rather thought the railroad
got the worst of it, and figured the CON-
pany's loss at 100000. Some thirty
three divisions have been added
to the order this year and S2,S7S,-
1861 has been distributed in in
surance. The order has no strikes
on handc now and Mr.iArthur does not
conceal his satisfaction that it is so.
The men who struck on the Burlington
are scattered all over the country, and
some have not yet secured employment.
Mr.. Arthur reiterated his well known
sentiments in favor of compulsory arbi-
tration.
