Mr.. Henry Dow, the oldest and one of
the most respected residents OF Pittston,
died at his home. Saturday forenoon, ag d
"a years and months. He was a re-
murkably smart and active for man of
his age up to within n week ago. at which
time when riding home from this city he
caught severe cold which resulted in
neuralgia about the heart and caused his
death. He was born in Wiscassct in
February 1901. His grandfather was II
resident of Haverhill Mass, and served as
as soldier in the Revolutionary war. In
the year 1913 the family moved from Wis
casset to Pittston. His father dying the
following year when Henry was but 13
years of age, the support of the family fell
on him. With heroic will and ceaseless
toll this boy and his noble mother kept
the family from starvation and the aims

his OK team a load of hemlock bark to
the river, borrowed a boat and ferried tho
bark to this city and sold it for Just
enough to buy half a bushel of corn which
he had ground and returned as quickly
as he could to the hungry ones at home.
Mr. Dow was undoubtedly the oldest man
to drive fast mile in the United States.
This took place at the Pine Tree race

was wonderful performance and Mr..
Dow was the hero of the occasion. He

Jewett who died in 1871. They had five
children three Of whom are now living

Probably this advance has not been felt as yet by many breeders of horses, and indeed thcro arc few breeders left now, but those still in the business will lc- gin to hear the good news pretty soon. and tho increase of prices will bo con tinuOus for somo years to como.
 "Whon tho trolleys and the cables took possession of tho street railways" said this dealer. almost all demand for horses of any but the fancy types disappeared What httlo demand was left was fully supplied by tho animals discarded by thu railroads If thrro had been no other source Cf supply, thero would probably have been no moro dc cline in prices than was inevitable be- cause of the general depression. but tho breeders had large numbers of horses on hand and were generally in such a financial condition as rcndered it i'm perativo that they should rualizn with out delay. Consequently the inflow of horses at tho big cities. whcro tho chief markets aro located, was in nOwiso di- unfinished. and the result was n tremCn- dous ovCrSupply.
 In tho early part of IS94 the ruling prices in New York, Boston, Chicago. Cincinnati, Baltimore, Philadelphia and elsewhere wrro Sn low as almost to mako sellers weep. and many breeders went bankrupt. l myself saw scores of horses sold for $50 and $G0 apiece that few years before would have been arl SNnO paCh xx-o1I worn horses that still had considerable service in them would fetch not one cont moro than their Carcasses were worth to bo worked up into such ma terialS as may bo produced from de- funct cquinrS.

In many places. where there are no facilities fur the utilization of horses CarcasSUS, wurnuut animals wvru good for nothing but to consume prOvcndvr, and consequently thousands upon thou sands were killed simply to get rid of them.
 At the samo time breeders all over the country decided to get out of the business, and i'll order to do this rushed thSir horses to the market with all pos Eible speed, being fully prepared to dis pose of the animals at whatever price they could get. no matter how great the sacrifice. This of course congested tho market still further. and prices went down. down, down. At present. is k safe to say that fully nine-tcnths of those who bred horses five or six years ago have abandoned tho business en- tirely.

ON THE WAY TO THE BONE BOILERS
 ures, but as railroad horses are still be- ing supplanted by the wire in the air and the wire rope under ground the sale of the discarded animals and tho re- maining stock of the breeders have so far been sufficient to keep the market from running short.
 This will not continue always, how ever. The time will come, and that sooner than most people expect it, when the number of discarded and left over horses will not be equal to the demands of the express companies, the truckmen, the cab drivers, private individuals and general business men. There is as yet no reason to believe that the mysterious fluid which has been set to hauling the street cars of America can be utilized for the propulsion of ordinary vehicles over ordinary roads and pavements. All the businesses I have indicated will have to be continued, however, and horses must be had to carry them on. The demand will be less than it used to be, of course, but as the supply will be practically nonexistent it is perfectly clear to me that the latter will exceed the former. and that prices must go up think it is safe to assert that by 1900 horses will hiring exceed ingly high figures. for by that time the present working stock of tho country will be practically worn out. In fact, believe the United States will be ut terly unable to furnish its own horses Ava vears from now
 Since talking with this man l have heard the matter discussed by number of others as conversant as ho is with the situation. and the general sentiment seems to be that his view of the future of the horse business is quite correct. Down to the present, however, although there has been a slight advance of pricei as to certain grades, mentioned at th' beginning of this article, the bushes: is still stagnant, and half worn horse: are being killed for their hide. etc, 1T great numbers in all the large cities.
