IN MEMORY OF DIR. PaULJ. CAR
RINGTON,

Who died at his home at Mt. Laurel,
Tuesday night, April nth. at 1910.
Shakespeare, in his day, recognized the
fact that in writing eulogies Of men their
unstuted praise was common. From his.
day to ours this practice has not changed.
It is, indeed, a pleasant task to recount
the kind and good qualities OF our de-
parted friends; but duty to the living and
justice TO the dead require that a mans,
eulogist truthfully narrate his prominent
characteristics; for no man in this life is
sall good-none perfect, and 1 honor that
great heart in human nature which, while
it forgets the faults of the dead, remem-
bers the virtues and all good qualities.
That he had infirmites and faults I do
not deny. Let him who has no beam in
his own seek to pluck the mote out of his
brothers eye. Let charity and the grave
hide them from our view; whilst his vir-
tues bloom in fragrant memory about his
tomb. He was brave and honest, was
hospitable and kind at his home. His in
tegrity and honor We're beyond question.
As physician he was incorruptible, hon
est, sincere in his opinions and broad in
his views. Can we wonder that his peo-
pie, among whom ne practiced for more
than fifty years. trusted and chung to him
with fond admiration. While we pay our
tribute to his mental endowments and
moral worth let US reach out the warmest
sympathy of our hearts to his bereaved
and orphan children, whose only solace
will be found in human love and in the
tender mercies of the God Of the father

Thomas Leech, who resides at East Sc

ney's office yesterday morning for a war
rant charging three alleged eX. county jail
prisoners with stealing a basket of eggs
He was told that the expense Of sucn
prosecution was too much compared to the
trivial value of the lost goods.
Late in the afternoon Leech rushed into
the sheriff's Office and asked for an Off
Ger. He was greatly excited and spoke
as II the robbers had carried off every
thing from his house except the roof. Dep
uty Sheriff Wise questioned him closely
and discovered that he did not really know
that anything had been stolen. Someone
on Lake Washington told him that three
boys had gone with his boat.
Assuming that some crime had been
committed at his home. he went back for
an officer. He was told to get warrants,
as he seemed to know who the supposed
thieves were.

Shingle manufacturing in this state is

the plans of the Washington Red Cedar
Single Manufacturers Association arc
carried out Up to noon yesterday, after
two and half days work, Secretary Beck
man announced that nearly three fourths
OF the required number Of signers had been
secured, and there seemed no question that
the mills would suspend operations for the
desired period
SiXty-nine firms, including some Of the
largest manufacturers in the state have
signed the agreement. The total daily ca
p&city of their mills is $4,000 shtngles
which is nearly half Of the capacity of ali
the mills Of the state. Under the agree
ment, copies OF which ere being circulated
among the milln1en, there is not TO ne a
shutdown unless IS per cent. OF the mills
join the movement. All are signing With
this proviso.
This contemplated action of the shingle
manufacturers is held to be necessary, as
has been told in the Post-Intellgencer.
on account Of the great overproduction
since the mills resumed operations last
month and in January after the idleness
of sixty days The manufacturers went at
work with renewed energy early in the
year, and 1t was not many weeks before
their dry kilns were all filed and they
had no place to store more shingles The
billiards. and rough weather came on in
the East, which stopped building, and thus
temporarily destroyed the greatest market
for the Washington product
A Serious situation.
The result was that the mills found them
selves confronted by a serious situation.
Many of them could not afford to go on
with their output. piling up shingles to
wait for the opening of the Eastern con-
struction season; and then they saw the
prospect of a great reduction in prices as
soon as the weather changed, and Eastern
builders were after material The only re-
suit to such a condition could be. It is said,
that the enormous stocks en- hand would be
sure to cause a reduction in prices far be-
low the associations schedule. which would
not only destroy the purposes of the or
ganization but would give price cutters an
opportunity to further disrupt harmony
by getting control of some of the heavy
consumers. 1t was therefore decided by
the leaders Of the association that there
must be another suspension of manufacture
and they started the movement that is
now on
A careful inspection of the appended list
of those who have signed the agreement
shows many names of manufacturers who
did not close during the idleness Of last
winter. besides a large share of those who
did close, which is taken to show the sta
hility Of the association and the determin-
alton Of tho members to remain stanch to
the principles of their united declarations
