THRIFT OF A CLERGYMAN.
Letters Whose Backs He Used for Copy
 Made Amusing Reading.

Letters Whose Backs He Used for Copy
 Made Amusing Reading.
 Habits of thrift are generally com mendable, but sometimes they give cause for amusement without the per son practtcing them being aware of it. This was the case recently with we'll known clergyman, whose church is one of the most flourishing of it's denoml- nation in the city. This clergyman re- eeives a salary of s6,000 year and has in addition a comfortable income of his own. He is a liberal giver to many charities, lives in a handsome broWn-stone house, and apparently has less reason for economy than the average citizen, yet he has one habit perhaps better, one idiosynerasy-tha might well be taken as an indication of poverty by those who did not know the clergyman. With inborn Scotch thrift the minister makes Use of the blank side Of letters he receives when they are written Ion one side only" He was recently asked to prepare an article for magazine. In due time the manuscript reached the editor, each page of it written on the back of an old letter, and it was only too evident that he had paid no attention to whether or not the letters were of a personal character The letters fur nished rather curious commentary on the sort of letters a metropolitan clergyman receive. Among them were: A notice from an insurance company that his policy had lapsed owing to the non-payment of $156 premium. A note from the general passenger agent of a railway refusing his request that pass from New York to Chicago be given to poor brother in the min istry. An appeal from poor widow for money to pay her rent and keep her from being dispossessed. A letter from broker, who was one of his con- gregation, advising him to invest in certain stock, as it was certain to be "a good thing" criticism of one of his sermons from one of the pillars of the church. A receipt showing that he had paid for the license of his dog New York Herald.

ON DEATH or W. W. LATHAM

At a meeting of the Wholesale Grocers
and Flour Dealers association held yes
terday afternoon, the following resolu-
lions We're adopted relating to the death
of W. W. Latham:
Portland, Me-, August 2, 1900.
Whereas, another Of our old and tried
business friends has been called from this
life, w. w. Latham OF II. II. Nevens
company. 1t seems but a very short
time since he was occupying his accus-
toned place at his desk, and now we
shall see him no more. Mr.. Latham came
to our city from California, and at once
identified himself with the business in
terests Of Commercial street, especially,
and with those of the city at large. He
was not a demonstrative man, but his
influence was apparent, in a quiet way,
in what he undertook. A reliable and
esteemed member of our association, a
good and straightforward man has gone.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we extend to the family
of our deceased associate our sympathy
on this occasion. with the assurance of
the high esteem in which he was held by
his fellow merchants.
Resolved, That the association in the
removal of another of it's old time MEM
bers, is reminded that sooner or later
death overtakes US all, and that it is be-
coming US to so live as to be ready for
the call.
Resolved, That the business house of
which the deceased was a member
likewise has our sympathy.
Resolved That these resolutions be
spread upon the records and that a copy
be sent to the family and to the business
house Of the deceased.

abandoned.
Talk is being made among the business
houses to close all day tuesday, or at
least during the time OF the parade
Some Of the business men have an
nounced that they would do this. Many
others are likely to follow their example.
