Thc Late G.. Hatlcy Norton.

Death is always sad-whethe1 1t comes
upon the newly-born that but gasps and dies,
or upon one that has reached the century
mark and only to look back upon a life full
of trouble"
And, doubly sad seems the passage of tho
grim Reaper as when he cut down G.. Hatley
Norton yesterday morning.
The writer of this knew him as a child. In
boyhood days we played together, aud in
youth We were not far apart. In early man
hood early friendship grew stronger, and with
all his friends l watched with pleasure his
course, and the progress he made in his pro-
fcssion could but moro than interest and to
the most ardent admirer could but give full
est satisfaction. Many of this young mans
friends said of him great things, and most OF
them were true to the letter. Some predicted
for him grand and brilliant future, and this
only death could change.
The bright young life now ended and
brought so abruptly to a close now gives for
the real but a memory. But what g memory
To those whose eyes are blinded other than
nero visions often appear to those whose CARS
become deafened then comes sometimes sounds
and songs and voices and the sweetest of all in
life they again seem to hear. To those that
are far AVA from those they most cherish,
and away from the scenes of other days that
would gladden., mako hope real, and give
blessed good cheer, there comes sometimes
something that is akin to the real, and so will
come many a thought of poor Hatley.
None knew Hatley Norton but to like him
none close to him knew him other than q
true friend none having business relations
with him would have but willingly entrusted
their al to him, and young as he was his
counsel for good was undoubted.
Whether such a life as his so brief, so TAX
ing and full of hope as it was, could be COM
| plete in itself, or not, we do not know-no
more we can understand the other many mys-
teries of Him who docth all things well"
But we do know this young mans walk
in life, and of the many virtues thst were in
him. aud cut off rs he was he passed as many
have passed before, and many of US shall go,
as it is so beautifully put in the beautiful old
HYMN.

Shakespeare Criticised.

A school teacher was fond of giving
sentiments from Shakespeare as copies
to be ''set" in writing exercises. One
day he gave his class this adaptation
of a phrase in Hamlet:
''The appetite grows by what it feeds
on"
One of his pupils, poor boy with a
lean and hungry look, having written
this sentence down twenty times in his
best and most patient hand, could not
refrain from saying to the teacher,
when he came around look at the
copy books:
I've written it down, sir, but don't
think it's true"
Don't you? Why not?
Because, sir, my appetite's always
growing by what it doesn't feed on"

Bachelor Ignorance About Children.

Bachelors who have lived long alone,
or in hotels and clubs acquire strange
ignorance about children. One of these
was telling friend how his little
nephew enjoyed 1.-The Jungle Book
How old is hep was asked.
"Oh, | don't know. Seven or eight.
Maybe ter.'
Then he can read stories by him

LET me see. No. he can't. He's too
young. He has the book read to him.
Then he must be less than ten years

Cant you tell his age by looking DIT

lessly. IAN children look the same aga
to me except infants and those that are
about ready for college.
1t was another bachelor who was Wis
ting friends when a caller came with
his young son. The boy was four or
five years old and a manly little chap.
The bachelor was attracted by his ap-
pearance, and, patting his cheek, said
to the father:
Hes sturdy boy, isn't he? He'll
be ready to go out and play ball in a
few years"

the child, proudly.
"Why, he can talk. can't her. exclaiE-

THE WORLDS MERCHANT KING.
Such Was Alexander 7. Stewart, of
New York City.

New York City.
In itself business disaster to be
greatly deplored, the recent failure in
New York of the immense dry-goods
emporium of Albert T. Hilton is deeply
interesting, inasmuch as it was the
store of Alexander L. Stewart. the mer-
chant king of the world. With it dis
appears the last trace of Stewart
glory. Other great merchants have
left descendants to carry on the bust
ness enterprises which they had found
ed. Stewart left none. He was com
PEELED to leave his business in the
hands of an outsider, who in turn en-
trusted 1t to his sons. Alexander L.
Stewart was the greatest man of pure
commerce known to modern history.
His genius for trade and thrift was alb
solute. His passion for it was never
equaled by any trait of his character
except the passion that had for its aim
the enlargement of his trade. He was a
Scoteh-Irishman, born in Ireland.
Splendidly educated in Trinity College,
Dublin, he came to America with moth
Ing but great mind and character
of great strength and infexibility. At
first he taught little children, and then
he became tutor of Latin and Greek.
He had met a man named Chambers
who knew something about the dry
goods line They became friends. One
day young Stewart told his friend that
he had fallen into little property and
was about to go home to get it. Cham
bers asked him the amount. Stewart
replied that it was $4,000. What would
he do with the money? the friend que
ried. Return to the United States, said
Stewart, invest it and live on the in
come. Chambers told him to do no such
thing. IF you go to Belfast" the young
man advised, land invest your money
in insertions and scallop trimmings and
return here you can sell your purchases
for twice the amount" Stewart laugh
ed. He said he knew nothing of trade.
He could not even buy pair of gloves
without help. He sailed for Ireland,
found his entire legacy to be only
about $4,000, and took the money. He
went to Belfast, bought the goods his
friend advised and brought tn EN- home
with him. This was A. T. Stewards
first business transaction.
In little wooden tenement at 2S3
Broadway, Chambers and Stewart
founded their great house The tiny
store was stocked with the purchases
