TOWN TALES.

A prominent merchant from Pitts
burg, Pa, said to the writer few days
ago in speaking about commercial
conditions in the west: One frequently
hears the statement made that Pitts
burg is prosperous because the money
there is in the hands of the younger
men, who spend it freely. That is
largely true, but one of the causes
behind the effect is Andrew Carnegie.
He made it a point to keep his eye on
the younger men in his employ, and
when he found them working faith
fully in his interest he took them off
the salary list and they received a
share in the profits. AS result a
number Of them became rich in their
own names. Mr.. Carnegie has done a
world of good in many ways, and he is
entitled to all praise. He is appre-
ciated in my part of the country, be-
cause it is known that he has done
more than will ever be made public"
Anent the Currier Sand Company,
dealers in real estate and mortgages, a
story has just come out showing that
the game does not always pay In Bos-
ton last week a thousand dollar mort
gage covering two lots in a park with
a fancy ma ne in Connecticut was Of
fered for $500. The broker was offered
ten dollar bill to go and see the lot.
The offer was accepted and a man
dispatched to the place. He found the
lots They were worth exactly dollar
apiece.
An incident that attracted consider
able attention at the court house the
other day, was the necessity of Judge
Sherman's having to step down from
the bench and take a seat on the
sheriffs bench, because of a draft that
came directly down upon his head 1t
looks as though this fancy priced
piece of architecture almost every day
showed up new defects. The two
things that are most necessary in ju-
dicial chambers and court room Offices,
light and heat, are lacking.
Judge Sherman is one of the most
genial men on. the superior court
bench. He is liked by all the lawyers
for his courtesy ana is especially con
siderate to younger members of the
bar, who are in need of help some
times from a kindly judge. His long
years of service on the bench have
given him the fine distinctions on law
points, and he telnpers justice with
mercy.

he was clever, but to the audience there
was more pleasure in his speciality in

Albert Maher as Steve Platter a. race

sTRA NGE DISAPPEARANCE,
a. b. smith Missing his VIM. Fu-
neral

Serious fears are entertained that A.
b. Smith of Fairfield. has disposed Of
himself or has been waylaid. since all
efforts to snmomn him 10 hts wsfe's fu-
neral which took place Wednesday proved
frustless.
Mr.. Smith left home Monday after
neon. going to waterviile on the electrics.
but where he went from Watervilie can
not be determined. Only few hours
after bis departure his wife died and the
search for him begal. He said he was
going TO Belfast. but kilograms have
failed to locate him there or to make 10
certain that he had been there. As no is
travelling man accustomed to using a
mileage book, he cannot be traced from
station to station.
A letter has been received from him
but 1t was not dated and gave no clue to
where he was. In 1t he gave no direc.
tions as to where he might be found In
case Of his wife's death, which was ex-
pected at any moment when he left
home.
During the past two years. Mr.. Smith
has met with very heavy losses in bust
ness and 1t is feared that this In oonneo-
tion with the strain caused oy his wife's
long critical illness may have unbalanced
his mind and that something very serious
has happened to him.
His son Harry A, who lie also trave l.
ling man. was coming from Fredericton,
