Bangor, Me, Jan. 20-Sheriff Gilman
spent this forenoon in investigating the
shooting scrape at Orono, last night,
when Samuel Tibbetts fired two shots
into the body of Joseph Sprowl to pro-
tect his wife and daughter from the
drunken assaults of Sprowl.

Gently returned from working in the
woods and they have been celebrating
the event with much drinking and ca
rousing at q house on the Saltwater
road in Orono where Tibbetts' wife and
children were staying.
The men got into a row, Monday
evening, Sprowl starting in to chastise
one OF the girls in the house when the
others interferred. Tibbetts was no
match for Sprowl in physical encoun-
ter and 50 pulled his revolver and fired
twice the first bullet lodging In he

victim fled to a house nearby and IS re-
ported to be in a serious condition.
Tibbetts surrendered himself, last
night, to the deputy sheriff in Orono

jail here Tibbetts will probably be ar

some one of the lessons we had learn
ed by dint Of experiment, analysis aud

On one occasion the professor was
out for walk, and his way led him
past farm house. he observed the
farmer feeding corn to a drove of
squealing porkers. Here was an op-
poFtunity to impart bit of valuable
information.
"What are you feeding to those
hogs, my friend?" the professor ask-
ed.
"Corn, professor. the grizzled old
farmer, who knew the learned gentle
man by sight, replied.
"Are you feeding it wet OF dry?"
"Dry."
Don't you know if you feed it vet

selves particularly we'll to development
in these thin stuffs, and the materials
themselves are beautiful beyond de-
scription.
Handwork in all its forms is lavished
upon these frocks, yet they retain a
most misleading air of sweet sim
plicity, and do not jump at the eyes as
did many of the modes of past seasons.
The general impression produced is
one of picturesque grace and harmony,
of soft flowing lines and delicate tints.
1t is not until one examines the de-
lectable whole that one realizes how
much art and time have gone into the
making. Multitudes of fine hand tucks,
open work, inset lace, shirrings, are on
the fine lingerie froclSs.

ever achieved social distinction out
side of Chicago. She became some-
what of a social leader among the
more refined element at Newport
and in American circles in Europe
after she had served as president of
the board of lady managers of the
Colombian exposition. Her husband
contributed 100000 to the construc-
ton of the Woman's building, which
represented the greater part of the
cost.
The late G. +. Swift or his wife
never associated to any great eX-
tent in Chicago society until within
the last few years. From the time
he came to the city until 1898 he
lived in modest residence right in
the heart of the stockyards district,
surrounded by the homes of his en-
ployes. But though he lived among
them he cannot be said to have been
popular with his employees, as was
Armour or Fairbanks.
Armour was liberal contributor
to many forms of charity, and in the
Armour institute lett monument
that equals that of Peter Cooper in
New York. Pullman put his philan-
thropy into the form of a model
town for his employees, but it was a
philanthropy that has never been APP
preciated by them, and pays six per
cent on the investment. His family,
however, have contributed literally
to several worthy charities. G. +.
Swift gave $4,000 toward building
ST. James Methodist church, of which
he and his family were members,
ton for the Northwestern university
in memory of his daughter. Fair
banks gave literally to number OF
charities and clubs.

George NJ. Pullman, Philip ID. Ar
mour, Potter Palmer and others of
less note.
1t might be said that Chicago has
been builded by the farmer boys of
the east. Armour came from a mite
of farm in New York. So small in
fact that it would not provide sus-
tenance for the family of which he
became the head after the death of
his father. Potter Palmer was also
the son of New York farmer, and
migrated westward in search of the
opportunity that was not to be found
in the east. George NJ. Pullman was
not farmers son, but he was the
next thing to it, being born in a
country village in New York state.
OF the two men who died recently,
N. X. Fairbank was a New York
state village product, and he began
his active life as bricklayer's APP
prentice, drifting from that into the
business of grinding flour before he
came west, where he made two for
tunes, losing the first one in fire
which destroyed his plant as early
as 1859. G. L. Swift, on the other
hand, began life as a farmer in Mas
sachusetts. From the farm he drift
ed into the butchering business in
Barnstable, Mass. He came to Chi
cago in 1875, and in 1878 his bust
ness was so small that his office
force consisted of but one employee,
woman boollkeeper, who carried
the books of the firm home with
her each night for safekeeping.
