CONNECTICUT HERMIT DEAD.
STRANGE ACTIONS OF SAMUEL MIDDLE
BROOK AT GREENFIELD HILL.

BROOK AT GREENFIELD HILL
Danbury, Conn. Aug. 81 tSpeciaD.-The death
Of Samuel Nddlebrook. an aged and wealthy
recIuse who lived the life OF hermit In
old house at Greenfield Hill, removes one OF the
best known characters in. this part of Con
necticut. When his wife died, thirtytwo years
ago. Middlebrook closed the apartments she had
occupied, shut the doors Of his home against
nearly all corners, fortified the place to repulsc
the invasions of possible robbers and began his
solitary life 1t is said that no piece OF new
furniture had entered the place since 1890.
Those who have examined the house since the
death of the recluse have found evidences that
IL was strangely but strongly fortified. Point
ing directly at the door he used he kept
shotgun loaded Strings running to the door
were fastened to the triggers, and it meant al
most certain death TO any one who attempted
to enter the house when this gun was in posi-
ton Extending to the apartment used
bedroom were other cords. by which he could
discharge the weapon at will In case intruders
escaped the first trap set for them. The win
dows of the house We're all guarded by barrels
of rocks and scrap iron suspended above them
in such a manner that their contents would be
precipitated upon the robber who might attempt
to enter by that means. Fear of robbers. in
spired by the fact that he kept large sums ot
money in the house, led the man to take THESE
precautions.
Since MTddlebrook's death the house has been
searched and notes and deeds of value brought
TO light one note was found hidden behind
loose brick in the old fashioned chimney. The
will will soon be probated. II contains a Request
Church and one of Sionp 10 the American Home

ADAMS TRIBUTE TO LEE.
Charlotte Observer.

1t was a noble speech made by
Charles Francis Adams, of Boston. be-
fore the Phi Beta Kappa Society Of
the University OF Chicago. His posi-
ton that, at the time of its forma-
ton. the Union was understood to
be dissoluble, is historically correct
it was many years later that the
right of State to secede from the
federation was first denied. In the
re-assertion OF this truth Mr.. Adams
does the South justice on account OF
the events of 1861. But his words in
eulogy of Robert f. Lee, the idol OF
the South. are those which will 90
straight to the Southern heart. Lee,
he said, truly, individualized all
that was highest in the Southern
mind; and he hoped to see the day
when a bronze effigy of the great
commander, mounted on his charger,
and with the insignia of his rank in
the Confederate army, would stand
in the National capital. When
that time comes" said he. Lee.
monument will typify the historical
appreciation of all that COOS to make

THE EDITOR AN EASY MARK.
He is Imposed Upon and Sponged off
of AS No Other Business Man Is.

This from Florida paper shows
that the editors experience is the
common lot Of others-or very nearly
so:
How many obituaries. resolutions
of respect, cards OF thanks, notices Of
fairs. sociables, church entertain
ments, lodges, board OF trade meet
ings and such like, if the newspapers
made even a moderate charge-evsn
sufficient to pay for the type-settiug
would ever be publishede
The truth is that the public-the
candidates for public Office included
has been taught to consider the
weekly newspaper as thing run at
the expense of the owner for the per-
sonal and free use of the aforesaid
public, and great offsnse would be
felt if the publisher dared to say that
he ought to be paid something for
publishing items which are Of no
general public interest.
Very often too, the people who ask
the paper for the most favors are
those who are neither advertising
patrons nor paying subscribers. A
newspapers space is its capital. and
it ought to be paid for the same as
goods sold by merchants.
There are others who drop in occa
sionally and want an extra copy Of
the paper, or may be dozen or so.
if it happens to have their name
prominently mentioned, and say: Il
just want to send off few sample
copies, and that will help to adver-
tise our city and your paper too" in
tending by these gracious remarks
to forestall any thought of charging
for the copies. And generally tho
editor is just dead easy" and gives
away his space and paper to graf
ify the vanity Of some individual
who is far more able 10 pay for them
than the editor is to give them away.
They do not consider that the print
ers, the tax collector. the rent, the
groceryman and others have to be
paid with hard cash which must come
from somewhere. But the editor
goes on from day to day doing his
acts of charity, expecting nothing
and realizing fully his expectations.
Mayhap the day will come when a
newspaper man can do business like
other people; but it is his own fault
for not getting paid for his honest
work, like other professions or bust
ness.
