Albert ID. TOZier.

On Monday last Mrs j. c. Peaks re-
ceived telegram that her son, Albert
D. Tozier, was drowned Sunday, at
Beverly, Mass. 1t appears by the news
received that he was walking on the
railroad bridge and had reached the
draw when he was seen to stumble and
fall into the river. The keeper of the
draw Immediately took boat and
rescued him in an unconscious condi-
ton Several men and a physician did
everything possible and it did seem as II
there were signs of consciousness when
he was taken to the hospital, but every
attempt there to restore life failed Mr..
Tozer's home Was in Wakefield, and he
was born in North Anson, 41 years ago.
Was an Odd Fellow and member of
the Baptist church. He leaves wife
and a son and a daughter. He was a
son of B. F. Tozier, who was printer
and was employed in the ADVOCATE
office for some time during the early
years of it's publication, and brother of
Capt. Tozier of the United States Navy,
Port Townsend, Washington-Union
Advocate.

A Theatrical Puzzle.

There is something absolutely baf-
fling to understand" said a theatrical
manager. about the perfect regularity
Of the sizes of audiences for any given
play. You know | manage two thea
ters here in New York. One of them
holds about 1000 people and the other
holds about 1000 people.
Now. when we have a play that is
what we call a great success at the
small theater-such a success that we
have to turn people away every night -
1t is almost invariable that the number
turned away is not far from 30 each
night-that is TO say. 1000 people come
and get in and 80 come and cannot get
in. And when we have a similar sue
cess at the large theater the average
number of people turned away is just
the same-about 30--that is. 1000 peo-
pie come and get in and 80 come and
cannot get in.
Now, to all appearances the one
play has made just as big a hit as the.
other. so why is it that just about 1,030
people want to see the one every night
and just about 1000 people want to see
the other every night? Why do the
2,03Q, never come to the small theater?
They never do. Such a thing was new
er heard of. It's little section in the
law of averages that | never could un-
dcrstand. New York Tribune

Arthur w. Collins.

This village was again clouded with
gloom as it awoke on Sunday morning,
to hear that Arthur Collins was dead.
For a week he had been confined to the
house by what was hoped to be only
cold, though known to be severe one,
but it settled upon his kidneys with
such grip that the congestion proved
fatal, owing mainly to the fact that for
several years he had been afflicted with
chronic kidney disease. He was
naturally frail and delicate, and 30 he
was unable to resist the violent attack.
The funeral services were held, Tues.
day afternoon, at the home of his
parents, Edwin Collins and Nellie A.
Collins, and in the house where he was
born nearly twenty years ago, and where
his life was passed. The officiating
cergymen were Rev. Mr.. Crane, Rev
Mr.. Clancey, and Rev. Mr.. Hooper,
State Missionary of the Universalist de.
nomination. they spoke tenderly and
alphabetically of the beautiful life
just closed on earth, and of the starry
hope that comforts grieving hearts in
the night of gloom. Arthurs academy
classmates brought a pillow of flowers

believe to be bis.
The life of Arthur Collins was bless
ing to the village. He was comfort
and Joy to his father and mother. He
was a scholarly youth. He loved books
and he loved nature and he loved God.
His feeble health prevented his com.
pleting the course at Bowdoin College,
but he passed without conditions the
entrance examinations of that institu-
ton in 1898, Immediately after his
graduation at Anson Academy in the
spring. At the academy he was the
best scholar in his class, and he was one
of the best that have ever received a
diploma from this school. He was a
natural scholar, not merely in strength
of memory, but also in his grasp as a
reasoner. He knew how to study, and
his learning was remarkable for youth
His character is stainless, and his low.
able spirit was pleasure. The value
of human life is not measured by its
length. The twenty years of his were
valuable in sweetness and usefulness
His disappointment in not going to c>l-
lege is made up to him with better
chance. God bless him Arthur is
