Gov. Gregory, Chief Executive of
State of Rhode Island, Dies
of BrIght's Disease,

Wexford, r. l., Dec. II. William
Gregory, governor of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations, died at his
home here Monday afternoon of acute
Bright's disease, following a succession
of illnesses. After an indisposition
of nearly two months he returned to
the state capital last Friday, and his
death was the indirect result of a
cold. Gov. Gregory was the first gov
ernor of the state to die in office for
nearly century and half. Under the
new constitution Lieut.. Gov. Charles
Dean Kimball, of Providence, becomes
the acting governor for the remainder
of the term. On January Z, 1902, he
will be sworn in as governor for the
term to which Gov. Gregory was elect

William Gregory, the twenty-ninth
governor under the constitution, was
an example of a self-made man. From
a loom fixer he became mill superin-

human nature. Stick pin there!
It has been observed that the bright

Dear Sir: Your business is, when
a house burns down, to give the
owner some money to build a new
one. 1t is a good business. Queer
that the world got on SO long with
out it.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is bet
ter, we paint the house that don't
burn down. You insure the houses
that burn; we insure the houses that
don't. You have the ashes and
smoke; all the houses are ours.
We paint lead and zinc: Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead and oil is the old-tashlon
paint. Devoe is zinc ground in with
the lead and linseed oil-same pro-
portions as used by U. S. Govern
ment: the best paint in the world !:
and the cheapest, because the work
is all done by machinery.
