A Paper Trust Talked Of.

1t is reported from Philadelphia that a
newspaper trust has been started with a
capital Of thirty Live millions 1t is not
intended to take the whole country into
the trust but only the large manufac-
turers of the Central and Northern States
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. A
Pagenstecher of the Manufacturers
Paper Company of New York is the
president of "a mills that are expected to
enter the combine; the total capacity is
81, 900, 600 pounds of newspaper day, or
1910 tons. They don't make that output,
as their total capacity is about 300 tons
in excess of the demands. There are
about 60 other mills in the country that
make newspaper in small quantities, but
the trust will not consider them. 1t is
stated that the trust will advance the
price of newspaper S. ton.
Paper is sold now with the guarantee
that there are so many perfect papers in

the paper will be sold according to the
acutal sale weight as it leaves the mills,
and the loss caused by damaged paper if
there is any, must be borne by the pub

MYSTERY OF A MAINE ISLAND.
Hermit Englishman Who Ended His
Misery by Cutting His Throat.

Misery by Cutting His Throat.
"Some years ago, up at North Haven
Island, on the Maine coast" said New
Yorker to the Sun, 81 came across a
mystery that haunts me still. A bare
rocky point juts out into the sea on one
side of the island, and the first year that
visited the place there was rude cabin
on the rock. Having gone out there
from.curiosity one day, found a man in
shameful rags trying out the oil from the
refuse from a fish-canning factory.
When l came to examine the man his ap-
dearance astonished me. He was an,
extremely handsome, well-made English
man of forty or thereabouts. His hand S
soiled with the material he worked in,
were small and well-shaped When I
tried to draw him into conversation he
at first anwered in monosyllables, and
was almost sulky in his reserve He
gradually thawed, however, and I found
that he spoke rare and beautiful English,
that of a well-read and Well-bred man.
Glancing into the door of his cabin. |
could see perhaps a score of we'll -thumbed
volumes in library binding His reserve
was such that l could not ask him about
himself, Dib lelG Une Island deeply inter-
ested in him.
II turned up at North Haven the next
year, and one Of the earliest things did
was to go out to the point in search of
my acquaintance The rock was bare
again land there was no trace of him and
his cottage. | asked about him of some
persons l met on the island, and here is
what learned: He had come to the place
mysteriously some years before. He
found work at the fish cannery, but later
quit the place, built his cabin on the
rock, supplied himself with food chiefly
by fishing and obtained from the factory
the privilege Of trying oil from the refuse.
From the product he obtained little
ready money for tobacco and other luxu
ries. At some time between my two
visits his cabin was discovered to be on
fire late one night and hurrying down,
his neighbors saw him amid the flames
dead, with his throat cut. The fire had
so seized upon the hut that his body could
not be removed until it was nearly con-
slmed. He was buried and no solution
of the mystery was discovered Life had
evidently become insupportable to him,
and he had taken the way OF suicide as
the easiest one out of misery.
