GEORGE w. CARLETON DEAD.
Writer, Artist and Founder of Well
 Known Publishing House.

From the New York Sun.
 George w. Carleton, the founder of the publishing house now known as the G. W. Dillingham; Company. died at Sara toga at the age of 70. He was born in this city and had his schooling at St. Thomas Hall Flushing. He entered bus mess at clerk for commission house. but he had some ability in making sketches and began drawing for some of the comic periodicals of the early 5os.
 notably the Lantern. the Picayune and Young America He achieved his first pronounced success as the designer of an advertising device for Webster's Diction- ary. It was sketch of two very small
 cherubs overweighted with very big
 book. He used to tell with pride that his only payment for that drawing. which
 was used for nearly half g century by the purchaser, was a single copy of the dic- tionary bound in full calf.
 In 1857 he organized tha,irm of Rudd & Carleton with Edward P. Rudd. who died four years later. Carleton continued bus mess under his own name till. in 1871, he took in George w Dillingham;. The firm
 became a corporation on the death of MT. Dillingham; in 1896. Nearly the first book published by Mir Carleton was William Allen Buffers
 Nothing to Wear" He made special
 business of publishing translations of French books. He was also the publisher of most of the works of Artemus Ward Orpheus c. Kerr and other of the Fitz James O Brien school of humorists. MT.
 Carleton devised for his firm a queer trademark, which many people thought
 was a monogram of his initials. It was Hebrew character meaning Books" !" Mir Carleton kept up his drawing long after he became independently rich. He had a characteristic signature-a skinny
 jackdaw. which he not only used for his drawings. but also in signing his personal letters.
 In 1862 Mir. Carleton was the object of much sympathy because his physicians had told him that one of his lungs was altogether gone and that he had only a
 short time to live. He made long trips to tropical countries and outlived most of those who smypathized with him. He made these trips the subject of a series

of successful books entitled Our Artist in Cuba, Our Artist in Peru" and "Our Artist in Cuba, Spain, Peru and Algiers."
 MT. Carleton was avery methodical bus mess man and heavy advertiser. He attributed his success to his methodical habits and his good great luck. He re- tired twenty years ago with a large for tune and has been in this city very little since then.

! SHE HAS CAMPAIGN MANAGER
Little Bert Weaver Has Charge of Her ccntest-cIerks Busy Counting Votes and Answering
 Questlone.

Miss Louise Chairsell leads in the race for the Age-Heralds piano this morning. Miss Marguerite Weaver runs her a close second At this time the battle seems to be between these young ladies, but of course thereis no telling who will occupy the coveted position at the finish. The race Is uncertain. and those at the bot tom may pull up before the next an- nouncement of the vote.
 Miss Chairsel is very pretty type of the Birmingham school girl She is senior in the High School and will gradu- ate next June. She was member of the Alabama press party which visited Cali fornia last June and is quite a favorite with newspaper people.
 Marguerite Virginia Weaver is also quite pretty little miss. She is a pupil of the Powell School and is the first con testant so far to announce the name of her campaign manager. She is managed by Bent Meadows, IA years of age, and he appears to be quite a determined little gentleman.
 The contest has reached the stage where it requires the time of several clerks to count the votes and keep track of the large volume of correspondence. Votes come in by every mail and many persons continue to ask questions, not withstanding that the conditions are printed in this column every day.
 The position of each contestant in the race this morning is as follows:

The gentlemen told me they wanted the

It was rather stif and formal. I urged

him to fall into an easier pose and he
readily did so.
A this time the Prince was having very
little to say. The other gentlemen were
busily talking. but his remarks were few
and deferential. He said nothing which
impressed me as being worthy Of remem-
brance. and. therefore,. I don't remember
any particular remark.
