CULLEN LAWSON CARTER.

The death Of Mr.. Carter, which occur
red at about six o'clock last Sunday
evening, was not unexpected, as he had
been in a critical condition for the past
two months, and especially so for the
last two weeks. His health has been far
from good since 1879, at which time he
had a severe sickness, from which he
never fully recovered.
Mr.. Carter WAS descended from DIR.
Timothy Carter. who came 20 this state
from sutton, Mass, at the beginning OF
the present century, and who settled At
Bethel. Among the children OF DIR.
Timothy Carter was Luther Cullen, who
married Mary Converse, and among their
children was the late Cullen Lawson
Carter, who WAS born in New York City
in 1884 He fitted for college at the well
known school Of Mr.. Everest AZ Hamden,
Conn, and entered Trinity College at
Hartford. lie remained there but one
term, when he went 70 Columbia Col
lege, from which he graduated in 1854
He then read law for short time in the
office OF Dexter Hawkins of New FORK.
Afterwards be spent year In his father :
store in New York, and this was follow
ed by year in various parts OF Europe.
Travelling abroad was quite different at
that time from what IL is az present: and
Mr.. Carter was much amused at the
scrutiny 10 which be was subjected In
Sweden, where the authorities could not
understand what motive an American
could have for extending his travels 70
thst part of the world.
From 1870 10 1889 Mr.. Carter was in
business in New York. From 1890 TO
1894 he had position in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard; at the end of which time he
came 10 Paris, at which place he spent
the rest Of his life.
In 1860 Mr.. Carter was Married TO Fan
ME, daughter of Elias Mellen Carter, OF
Bethel. by whom he had two children, 8
SOP, Mellen, Who died at the age Of about
seven years, and daughter Mary b,
who is still living, and who married
Jarvis, son Of the late Samuel X. Carter
Of this place.
Mr.. Carter was buried in the family
lot upon "The knoll;" and the funeral
services were conducted by the Rev.
Marcus III. Carroll, rector OF the Episeo-
pal church st Norway. The beautiful
and impressive service was listened TO
by relatives, and by sympathetic neigh
bors who had learned 10 value the friend
ship Of the pleasant, warm hearted man
who came 10 spend the last years OF his
life among the beautiful hills OF Maine.

A Fusion that Don't Fuse.

Ii there ever was a political mar.
rage that was distasteful to both
parties to the contract, it was the
one solemnized in this city two
weeks ago. Not a single demo.
cratic paper has courage enough
to grow enthusiastic, and some of
them are in open revolt.
The condition is somewhat ap-
parent from the following facts as
to political conditions in the diff
ferent counties:
The democrats and populists of
Fremont county have united on
county ticket to the exclusion of
the silver republications.
In Owyhee county both parties
to the state fusion have put straight
tickets in the field.
In Shoshone county both wings
of the republican party have fused,
leaving the democrats stranded
high and dry, to be gobbled up by
the populists.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1898-09-16

OF honest democrats is that protec-
ton is legalized robberv-the en-
richnent of the few at the expense
OF the many. 1t is clear that both
democrats and silver republicans
outraged their consciences in order
to secure 10 themselves a few
Offices. They pyostituted their
principles that a few individuals
might draw salaries. 1t seems to
us that had these parties been truly
sincere, they would have met to-
g9her IN Joint convention and ar
ranged a common platform upon
which both could stand, but there
was not the slightest pretense Of
an effort to harmonic doctrine.
lhey go forth 10 the people saying
we are enemies at heart, friends for
spoils. But they say we agree on
silver. True. So do Mohammedans
and Christians agree OH the exist
ence OF God, but they differ radi
cally upon nearly every other re-
ligious tenet.-Caldwell Tribune.
