CLOTHED THE CELEBRATORS.
And Now the Clerks Union Wants TO
Boycott The Boston Clothing
store.
y Queer Tempest in II Teapot Which

Here is a complication

Hero IL a cOnpllCdtiDn
All on account of the fact that Andrew
Jensen kept his big Boston Clothing
store open on the evening before the ith
there is IA tempest Of large magnitude in
the clothing house teapot of this town.
Tho case seems to be somewhat pecu-
liar. y few months ago al agreement
was entered into with the Clerks union
to close all places Of business at s p. m.
except on Saturdays. When the Fourth
was approaching the clerks wanted Il
half holiday and got an agreement
signed by the merchants TO close their
stores at | O'Clock on the nations holi-
day. The matter Of lie ping open Oh
the evening of the Sd was preached, but
there did not seem to be any widespread
desire to do SO and the matter was
dropped, Approaching that it was a
good business proposition and recalling
the fact that there was d tacit under
standing which everybody had when the
agreement with the clerks was made to
the effect that it should be peru isslble
to keep open as on Saturdays or the
evenings preceding Christmas and other
holidays, Mr.. Jensen kept his store open
IN Monday night.
Most Of the clothing stores closed at
the usual hour. but as 0 O as they dis
covered that the Boston was omen they
also opened up. But Mr.. Jensen's action
was warmly resented by some IF the other

helm and Ike Frcudenthal signed d
petition asking the Clerks union to
take such action against Mr.. Jensen AS
would prevent him FROM acting in this
way again. Thereupon a committee of
the Clerks union waited on Mr.. Jensen
yesterday and told him that he could
settla for so. or in case of refusal he
would be %boycotted. The proprietor of
the Boston refused to be mulctcd, and
the matter was referred for action to the
Trades Council.
Clothing men are far from unanimous
in their opinions on the subject. Quite
a number seem to think that all the
stores should have been kept open on
Monday evening, as it is only lust and
fair to the public that evening openings
should be the rule on the day preceding
a holiday, when they are to be shut all
or a greater part Of the next day. Some
denounced the action of Mr.. Jensen
very roundly. claiming that he broke
faith with the other members of the
Merchants union by keeping open with

do So. One merchant rather more

Peculiar Proceedings.

lIarpers Weekly is an old time ad-
mirer of Grover Cleveland and, aforctimc
full believer in his civil service pre-
tentions, hut is now becoming somewhat
disenchanted, if the following fairly
represents the feelings of the editor
thereof. In speaking of charges upon
which 18th class postmasters are re-
moved the editor say

lievcs in fair dealing will br surprised

Not Overwhelming.

1t is Il boast of the Democracy that
Cleveland was elected by an overWhenl-
ing majority of the popular vote in 1872
but as "A matter of fact. he did not get
even as large percentage of the vote
rs he did either in lssi ar in lsSs. W.
+. Sherman, Agent of the Atlantic
Cotton Mill, Lawrence, Mass, in the
Boston journal, compares the figures
with former years rs follows:
In 1854 Cleveland had 1889 per cent
of the popular vote and won
In lsSS, iS.sS per cent and lost.
In 1892, 1866 per cent and won.
This shows that the general idea that
Cleveland and tariff reform received "A
grand popular endorsement in 1892 is a
fallacy. He is ii plurality president and
free trade of which he is the champion,
did not receive the endorsement of a
majority vote ut the last presidential
election. Could the issue between pro
lection and free trade be tried again in
this year, A. -. 1883. the result would
be overwhelming but not for free trade
by any means.

Death of W. G.. =. Iiccnc.

Oar people we've surprised. Friday, t.
hear nf the death Of William G.N keene
by drowning, which occurred in the
afternoon of the day before, at Nahant.
| He took the HOB \. VI. train at
| LINN for Boston. and must have imme-
diately returned or have gone to Ndhant
from Boston by boat Reports are some
what conflicting as to hi. movements.
atelv walked out into the water and lay
down to drown. lie WAS seen by Il
man who shouted to him but gave no
heed to his shouts. An alarm was
given, the body was taken out and
placed on the shore but all efforts to
bring back life Were of no avail. The
body was conveyed to his home in Lynn.
His wife and children We're nearly pros
trated with grief.
The friends of Mr. keene insist that
he died by accident, slipping on the
rocks. They say it is impossible that he
killed himself. From these it was learn
ed that there was not the least reason to
believe that Mr. keene had ended his
own life. He never WAS in better health
or spirits than in the forenoon he was
last seen alive.
1t has been characteristic Of him to go
OIL alone on trips to the seashore and
other places of a romantic or pleasant
nature. The report that Mr.. Kecne's
father committed suicide is Il mistake.
He died of apopleNy.
Mr.. keene was II public spirited bust
ness man of great activity, of sangune,
ardent temperament. the last man in the
world those who knew him would sus-
poet of having Il tendency to suicide.
His brain must have become affected in
some way suddenly, by the extreme
heat of the day or in some other man
ner.
He had with his brother. under the
firm name keene Bros. been actively
engaged in manufacturing shoes prnci-
pally in Lynn. with branch factories at
Skowhegan and Berwick Maine. The
Maine factories We're closed however
and he has, it is understood, been curtail-
ing business with Il view of retiring
from the firm, and from active employ
ment because of impaired health.

A Taste of Old Times.

The kcnnebec Log Driving Company
have for many years depended upon the
banks, along the river for the money to
pay the expense OF driving lumber to
the mills. pending the collection of
tolls from the owners Of the logs, but
this year early in. the season the banks
notified the company that they could
not extend to them the usual accommo-
dation. for the reason that they did not
have the money to let. :. W. Philbrick
the treasurer of the company began to
look around for ways and means to meet
the fast accommodating bills Of the cor
poration engaged in driving 100000, 900
feet of logs through from 60 to 81 miles
of the kennebcc waters. The undoubt-
ed security he was able to give because
of the unquestioncd ability of the com
pany to collect their bills enabled hin
to secure quite large sums from private
parties in this vicinity, but these sums
were not sufficient to carry clear through
the season and this week Mr.. Philbrick
resorts to the plan of paying the men
with interest hearing notes of the log
driving company. This practice was
in vogue back in the sixties. and before
that time. the lumber business was done
on long time payments, but late years it
has given place both in the woods and
on the drive tn the Cash on the Deacon
Seat" custom, which is much better all
around for employer and cmploye.
