Young Man Nearly Fee. TALL

The tallest man in the world, as he
claims, has been visiting different
places in Maine and has attracted
great attention. His name is Edward
Beaupre, and his exact height is feet
10% inches. Beaupre is twenty years
OF age and comes from the province OF
OF Assinaboine, Northwest Territory.
He says he is nothing but boy, but
there is enough of him to make half
a dozen boys OF ordinary size. He
weighs 367 pounds and is WELL
built young chap. He wears a No. 81
shoe and No. q collar, and every
where he goes he attracts attention.
In all the hotels where he has ever
stopped he has never found a bed long
enough to accommodate him, so two
mattresses are placed lengthwise on
the floor. and on these he stretches
out to sleep Beaupre says he did not
begin to grow until he was years
old. Then he began to shoot up and
when he was sixteen years old he was
seven feet in height. He says his
parents are of ordinary height, his
father being feet inches in height,
and his mother an inch shorter. Beau
pre- is a great eater, smokes everything
in the shape of tobacco. and is never
sick. He takes pride in believing he
is the tallest man that llves.-Lewis-

greater bearish confidence among their
neighbors in the pit. Their buying
had much to do in steadying the mar
ket at .47sc. It made the crowd ner-
v0us. and when exporters began re-
porting foreign engagements, which
before the end OF the session aggre-
gated Sc loads, they scrambled to COW
er. May rallied to 74bc. closing firm
and unchanged at that figure. A Ro-
sario cable reported supplies increas-
ing and holders weakening, while a
Liverpool tip led the easiness in that
market to increasing offerings from
India and domestic liquidation. Pri-
mary receipts aggregated 392, GOO bush

70. last week and $50 a year ago. Sea-
board clearaEces in wheat and flour
were equal to 100000 bushels.
Corn enjoyed moderate activity with
in narrow range. The opening was a
shade easier with wheat and to the lat
ter market was also attributed the de-
cline which followed. Shipping de-
mand was slack, eastern bids being sc
out of line. At the decline a fair spec
ulative demand developed, causing a
partial recovery. May sold between
1915 and 3S1a@5sc and closed &c low
er at 3SAc. Receipts were 1913 cars.
Oats were quiet but independently
firm, futures drawing support from the
cash situation on after a slight dip
early with the other cereals. May sold
between 25A @3sc and 251s@Ac and
closed 1Sc lower at 25Ac. Receipts
were 125 cars.
Business in the provision pit was
dull until just before the close when

WILLIAM c. WILDER.

Death came to William G. Wilder as
it came to Paul Neumann suddenly and
practically panlessly. There was
hardly pause from the busy active
life and the passage into the unknown,
from the whirl and consideration of
business and professional work to the
quietude of that narrow home which all
must reach at last And knowing both
men as so many here did, they know
that both would have so had it, and
that God was merciful when he allow
ed the end to be short and swift.
William Wilder has long been a
figure of prominence in the community.
He has occupied the highest of posi-
tions in the mercantile and commercial
world of the Islands, and has been a
power in the Legislative branch of our
former government. He was always a

citizen. He rose from small beginnings
to wealth. Whenever he was called up

lived worthily can meet his end with
untroubled soul, and leave a happy
memory behind him.
