The body of Chas. L. Pillsbury, the
treasurer of the Piper Manufacturing
Co., was found suspended by the neck
to a tree on Cape Elizabeth. From the
first it was believed Mr.. Pillsbury had
committed suicide as he had been much
depressed by the death of his wife and
financial reverses. He disappeared on
the night of June Is, from the cottage
of friend whom he was visiting at the
Cape. He had been resident of Port
land but few years, coming here from
Biddeford, where he had been city
clerk.
Col. Robert e. Ingersol died at his
summer home, WalstOn on Hudson,
near Dobbs Ferry, few minutes after
noon, Friday. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted from heart
trouble, with which he had been troubl-
ed since 1896. In that year during the
Republican national convention he was
taken i'll with heart disease and had to
return home. He never fully recovered
from the attack and was constantly
under the care of DR.. A. A. Smith. He
had frequently to take nitro glycerine
to aid the action of the heart.
Bangor this year will ship more fruit
box shocks to the Italian markets than
in any season since 1892 A prominent
manufacturer of that city, who recently
returned from trip to Italy, investi-
gated all the conditions of trade, and
finding himself able to make prices
below what the Austrians we're able to
quote, secured the business. This firm
already has shipped four cargoes OF
shocks to the Mediterranean and now
has six Italian vessels under charter and
on the way here from European ports
to load shocks for Italy and Sicily.
Other vessels will be chartered later
ON and the prospect is considered good
for the shook shipping record to be
broken.

putting up what was moved the day
before, Thursday, and farmers were
looking for good day Friday, but the
heavy showers accompanied with thun-

Once upon time there lived man
who wanted only few things that
every body wants. He wanted plenty to
eat and drink leisure and the woman
he loved. Bnt he found that to have
time to himself to make it possible to
live pleasantly with his sweetheart and
give her all he wanted and to take care
of the children that they might have
to do all this he must have a great deal
of money. So he went to work and
built up a great business, a very com
plicated machinery. To this money
producing machinery be was forced to
give most of his energy. 1t gave him
no time for leisure, no energy for en-
joying the sunshine. his wife and chill
dren. But he began to enjoy the ma
chinery of his business.
When he had made a large fortune,
the only thing he enjoyed was the ma
chinery by which he could make more
money. He had lost his interest in the
things for which he began his business
Perhaps he still had interest in food,
his wife and all the naive physical and
sentimental pleasures, but it was. a
blunted, dull interest. The only live
interest he had was his business. New

without benefit. Then he was advised

Protection Responsible for the
Factories.

II is conceded that the tariff is respon-
sible for the mills. Without the tariff
we should still be supplying the mills of
England with raw materials and buying
back the finished products, still be a
country of sgrculturists, a country
thinlv populated, unable to have helped
the Cubans, to have defeated Spain, or
to have acquired the Philippines, a
country in debt to the old world, sub
jeeted to its needs 10 all financial ways,
aud practically an industrial and com
mercial colony serving the precise pur-
pose which the mother country SO long
attempted to compel us to serve.
To abolish the tariff would be to
abolish the mills. To abolish the mills
would send the people hack to the
country, from which it is obvious they
would never have come If the life in the
mills had not been preferable to life Ia
the New England hill towns.
