very latest methods for governing this
most important factor of nome.
Large fireplaces grace every room ana
the mammoth andirons are all of brass.
The upper floor is devoted to sleeping
chambers. There are two guess
chambers besides those of the family.
All are provided with bath rooms and
extremely large closets. Even the
rooms of the help are so provided. In
the basement is large billiard room
where this game is greatly enjoyed by
Mr.. Boston and his friends. Also the
heating apparatus, cold air room and
cellar. The laundry occupies the rear
of the basement. A large stable is
situated in the rear of the home ana
this is far costlier and finer than many
homes. All the appliances necessary
are here found and the home Of the
hostler. Mr.. Boston greatly enjoys
driving and While not a fancier or
owner of fast horses, holds the reins
over some of the best horses supported
in this vicinity. No estimate can be
obtained as to the cost of Mr.. Boston's
new home but it is way up in the
thousands.

LOW WATER
Is Affecting Mills All Through
New England.
Paper and Pulp Manufacturers Are
Suffering the Most.
International and Great Northern Cos
Heavy Losers.

Boston, Nov. 25.-Thousands of men
employed by the paper mills of New
England and New York state are idle
because of a shutdown of mills at
numerous points due to an unusually
low water supply and to trade condi-
tions. Not only as low water in Maine
streams forced paper mill owners to
stop machinery, but many lumber mills
have been obliged to close the saving
season earlier than usual.
On top of the troubles caused by
low water, the announcement is made
that a general shutdown has been or
dered at all plants of the International
Paper Co.
This vast organization owns % mills
in Maine Vermont New Hampshire
and New York, and employs upwards
of $4,000 hands. At most points it is
stated that the mills were closed,
Tuesday night, to reopen on Dec. 2.
The reasons for the curtailment have
not been explained by the manage
ment, but it is understood that the
move was made to reduce stock in the
storehouses, which contain thousands
of tons of finished paper ready for the
markets.
The International Co. operates large
mills at Berlin, N. H., Franklin Falls,
N. H, Rumford Falls, Me-, Livermore
Falls, Me-, Bellows Falls, VT, and
other places in New England and New
York state.
Tuesday night, all departments ex-
cept that of pulp making Of the Bow
dom mill, Topsham, Me-, the Pejepscot
mill in the same town and the Lisbon
Falls Fibre Co. at Lisbon Falls, will
be shut down for a week or more.
These plants are Independent of the
combine but are practically under one
management. The trouble is due to
low water.
Another independent concern and
the largest outside of the International
Paper Co., is the Great Northern Paper
Co. of Madison and Millinocket, Me.
The company has closed its big mills
at both places on account of the in
sufficient water in the streams and
nearly 1000 men are out of work. Sew
eral smaller mills elsewhere are also
handicapped.
1t is feared that the shutdown in the
paper industry will seriously impair
fall trade in many towns which depend
almost entirely upon the mills.

ROMANCE WAS THERE.
Strange Life of Late David e. earle.
ton Of RockIand.

ROckland, Me-, Nov. 25.-David L.
Carleton, one of Rockland's best known
citizens, died suddenly. TUESDAY, Of
heart disease. His real name was David
wealthy relatives in New York and
Pennsylvania.
A romance which reads like a chapter
from some novel is attached to his his
tory. At the age of g. he was left under
the charge of an uncle, Joshua Tear OF
Philadelphia. While in Gloucester,
Mass, Mr. Tear formed the acquaint-
ance of Daniel L. Carleton, who lived
at Isle au Haut. Warm friendship
sprang up between them, and when
they separated Mr.. Carleton had con-
sented to take charge of the little boy,
his uncle having represented that the
father was dead and that he was anx-
ious to secure good home for him
Twice within the next. IL years Mr..
Tear called at Isle au Haut and tried
to induce his nephew to go away with
him. The youth showed a strange aver
sion to his relative, however, and hav-
ing become warmly attached to his
adopted parents, refused to go away.
Mr.. Tear gave him to understand that
it would be useless for him to attempt
to find his relatives. The boy had in
some manner obtained possession Ct
cards bearing the names of his brother
and sister, and these he put away care
their Wherea bouts.
T,,iN !, Nod ,io1 hi 70
consulted a spiritualist and gave to him
"a sealed envelope containing the names
Of her husbands brother and sister.
The medium. without hesitating, an
nounced the names inscribed upon the
cards and stated that the brother was
living in Seneca, N. Y. Mr.. Carleton
wrote to the postmaster Of Seneca, ask
ing if family by the name of Supplee
lived there. He received a reply that
Charles RI. Supplee was prominent
resident of that town and had a sister,
who vas married and lived in Bethle-
hem. Penu- So :
Mr.. and Mrs. Carleton went to Seneca
and called first uponN Robert Tear, a
brother of the man who had left the boy
in Mr.. Cartoons charge. Mr.. Tear i'm
nlediately recognized him, and later
there was joyful reunion between Mr..
Carleton and his brother Charles VI.
Supplee. Mr.. Carleton then went to
Philadelphia and made himself known
to his sister. Mrs. M L. Cortright, who
is the wife of profninent dry goods
merchant there.
Mr.. Carleton never assumed his real
name, preferrng never to do so while
ms adopted mother lived.

CHARTERS REVOKED.
Some Maine Sons of Veterans Lax in
Their Reports.

Rockland, Me-, Nov. 25.-In the order
to the Sons of Veterans which will be
issued, tomorrow, by Division Com
mander Orne, he states that he has
used the power which his Office gives
him and has revoked the charters of
the camps which have failed to make
their reports or pay their per capita
tax for more than one year.
There are about 25 such camps in this
division, some of which have been
practically dead for several years.
Commander Orne is determined to have
a clean slate, and reports which reach
headquarters indicate that his appeal
for increased membership has not been
in vain. ~-f.-

years. To get the full value of

pany where it is converted into use.
With a discharge of $50 cubic feet Of
water per second at the, upper dam.
this is able to furnish all the power
for this mill With the improvements
on the dam, new and more powerful
machinery was added to the plant and
now this mill, while not the largest,
is one of the best in the State. A day
is now divided into three tours of duty
for it's employees where formally two
did the work. This has increased the
number of hands employed and Its pay
roll. The company also prides itself
in the appearance of it's grounds,
which always look at their best.
The third dam is used entirely by
the Hollingsworth and Whitney Paper
Company where one of their paper
manufacturing plants are situated. The
dam below is also used by the same
company with their second and larger
mill. While there has been no very
extensive alterations made 1T either OF
these two mills, there have been
large crew of men at work con-
stantly to keep them both IN
the best of repair. The fourth
dam is also used by the dol

as Bone Island but it now bears but

for the shoe factory of this city and
Hallowell are made and shipped and
recently a crew of some 10 men have
been added to another department. that
of the manufacture of doors and VIM
dows. The machine shop of the Harvey
Scribner estate, where some of the best
saw mill machinery is turned out, re-
ceives it's power from this lower dan.
Here crew of men are constantly en-
ployed and not a week passes put what
a large shipment of machines IS made.
The machine shop of the g. "A. ROBBINS
estate is located in this immediate
vicinity but steam furnishes its power.
Their speciality is repair work and idle
DAYS are unknown to all employed.
While not situated on the dam, the
shoe shop, of which all Gardiner is
proud receives it's power from ths
source. A large water wheel runs a
generator which furnishes the power
for the dynamo at the shop. This shop
is pointed out as what can be done by
business men when they start out. A
shoe shop was badly wanted here and
at a public meeting, enough money was
pledged to construct one and an asso-
citation, known as the Gardiner Shoe
Factory Association was incorporated,
it's members being the stock holders.
Since the factory was first constructed,
an addition has been added and all nee
essary improvements and repairs made
and now the building stands free Of

has been a steady rush of work and it
has been the best in it's history.

FIRE IN COAL SHEDS

coal shed of the Bowdoin Paper Co. early
Wednesday, caused a loss of $4,000 to the

about $4,000 because of the sliding of 700
tons of coal into the river. Owing to the
swift current little of the coal can be
saved. The fire will continue to burn for
a day or two, adding much to the loss on
the coal. The loss is covered by insur-
ance. Losing the coal will greatly incon-
venience the company. as the water is too

entered the employ of the Hollings-
worth and Whitney Paper Company
and from that time to the present has
climbed the ladder of success until at
this day, he is superintendent of their
large plants in this city and that of
Winslow. He takes great pride in his
native city and within the last year has
completed a home that is not only q
pride to himself but every resident of
Gardiner. 1t is situated in one of the
prettiest parts Of the city, the corner of
Vine and Dennis streets and already he
has placed the grounds about it in
beautiful condition. This home is for
the comfort of himself and family and
hardly an evening passes but what he
is entertaining friends. He is very
modest and will allow no thorough dis
