sumed and who carried only small
amount of insurance. The proprietor OF
this factory is the most widely known

annual gifts from the profits Of his sue
cessful business aggregate thousands OF
dollars. The calamity which has befallen
him will be a source of regret 10 thou
sands who have known or benefited by
his liberaity.
