FREDERICK B. RICHARDSON.

R1sOGh4OA p. AAO11<AAsOCO1S.
The death of Frederick Bliss
Richardson, which occurred at the
Rangeley Lake House, Rangeley lake,
Maine, on Sunday, came as shock to
his numerous friends in this section of
the country. His death was due to a
relapse from an attack of the grippe
in May, and which he thought could be
shaken off by trip to Rangeley.
At first he improved. In June his
condition became worse. His son
Cortlandt who accompanied him
wired for Mrs. Richardson, who with
her brother-in-law Henry, was with
him until the end came.
Mr. Richardson was the son OF
Henry Richardson. leading inventor
and manufacturer Of furnaces and
stoves which were made at Spuyten
Devil and Brooklyn.
Frederick B. Richardson became
familiar with all departments of the
work although the manufacturing in
terests received his especial atten-
tion. When the Richardson Stove
Co. removed from Brooklyn to Dover
he became president Ct the concern.
He had large amount of executive
ability and rarely had trouble with
the workmen employed by his COM
|pany.
Mr. Richardson spent summer in
Morristown and was so pleased that
later he leased the property of L. @.
Lathrop on Franklin place which he
expected to leave in October for the
handsome estate of George S. Wylie.
which he purchased some time ago.
He was member of the Morris county
Golf Club and the Morristown Field
Club. He often remarked II love
Morristown, its people, and its outdoor
life. y
In 1880 he married Miss Mary Eliza
beth Tompkins, member of we'll
known Brooklyn family, who with
two sons. Cortlandt and Frederick
survive him.
The Rev. DR.. Macnaughtan conduc-
ted the funeral services which were,
held from his late residence yester-
day. Interment was made in the
family plot, Greenwood Cemetery.
DR.. FREDERICK HUMPHREYS.
Dr. Frederick Humphreys, the we'll
known manufacturer of Humphreys
Specifics, died at his summer home,
Monmouth Beach, after lingering
illness last Sunday. DR.. Humphreys
was born in Marcel1us. N Y, March
II, 1916. In 1887 he married Miss
Cornelia Palmer, of Auburn, who died
in 1910, leaving one SON. In 1S43 he
married Francis Maria Sperry. Of
Ludlowville, NY, In 1874 he settled
in Utica, N. T., and united with his
father in the practice of medicine.
For years he made careful investi-
cation of the medicinal properties
of the poison of the honey bee. In 1852
he issued monograph entitled
+" Proving the Apis Mellifica, or Poi
son of the Honey Bee" He is consi-
dered therein as having made one, of
the most important contributions to
the matera medica of the homeopathic
school. In 1858 he removed to New
York city and there put on the market
homeopathic remedies for popular
use under the name Of DR.. Humphreys
Homeopathic Specifics.
DR. Humphreys leaves two sons, DR..
Frederick H. Humphreys and the
Rev. Frank Langdon Humphries,
both of Morristown.

The Rule Of Protection.
not do L

The tariff for protection ex-
cludes the products Of cheaper la
Dor in other countries. Ihe
gold basis of our monetary
system enables the purchaser to
buy the raw materials at the low
est prices in any market in the
world. The American mechanic
is to-day without a superior on
earth. He does one-tkird more
work in day of eight hours
than the men of his trade il any
part of Europe, and he does it
better, He is therefore entitled
to one-third higher wages than
are paid in European countries
which would like to compete with
us for our home market, An in
crease of wages to American en-
ployes does not mean an increase
beyond reasonable limits in prices
charged the consumer. The rule
is coming to be understood that
wages and prices must be reason
able if the products are to be sold,
and this rule is being gradually
applied and adjusted between em-
ployers and employees. In no
period Of our history has its
march been SO rapid or so marked
as under the administration of
William Mckinley. This is a
condition of affairs of which the
people will not grow tired

BRISTOL. VA, Nov. 2S.-The probable
candidacy of Gen=ral James a. Walker.
late Republican candidate for Congress in
the Ninth District, for the position OF
United State Attorney for the Western
District of Virginia, is a matter that is
causing considerable comment here. 1t is
said the General, who feels keenly the
effect OF defeat, will probably look for the
next best thing without special regard for
the wishes of his political friends who may
wish the position.
Judge r. M. Anderson, the present attor-
ney was recommended for the position by
General Walker, and in return put his best
efforts forth in behalf of the GensraFs
Congressional aspirations.
Hon. D. F. Bailey, who was a candidate
for the attorneyship four years ago, is u
candidate again. He stumped the Ninth
District as the Republican candidate for
el=ctor He has fought the battles of his
party ably and eloquently in this end OF
the State for years, and unless he receives
recognition this time he is going to feel
the disappointment keenly.
RURAL DELIVERY.
On the first day of December free rural
mail delivery is to be inaugurated in
Washington county and portions of Greene.
Sullivan and Carter counties, East Ten
nessse. This will be one of the largest
free delivery rural districts in the United
States. 1t will embrace over five hundred
square miles of territory, with popua-
ton of upwards OF .v,uvu About sixty
fourtn-class offices will be discontinued,
and thirty-four carriers will be introduced.
These carriers will receive $500 per an
nun. 1t will be their duty to collect and
deliver mail and supply the people within
the bounds of their district with postage
and such other postoffice supplies as are
in common use.
TWIN CITY CENSUS.
With the population of Bristol, Va.
given officially as 1853. it is understood
that the population Of the two Bristols is
about 1900. There are more than LEGO
suburban residents that really are a part
of Bristol, but have not been included in
tl1ie city's count.
