COPPER RISE BREAKS BROKERS.
Boston Firm, with DO Branch Offices
in New EnaIand. Fails.

Boston.-The recent rise in copper
stocks on the Boston stock exchange
was an important cause to the sus-
pension of the stock brokerage firm
of H. r. Leighton & Co, which as
signed for the benefit of its creditors.
Although the firm is not a MEMBER
of any stock exchange. the assignment
was adjudged of considerable import
ance from the fact that the firm has
some 40 branch offices all but three Of
them in New England cities and
towns. The outside offices are at
Montreal, Halifax, N. s., and st. John
N. f. The assignee is Charles E. Al
len, a lawyer of this city. The firm
stated that the suspension was due to
the failure of a member of the Boston
stock exchange to meet his obligations
to the company, and to outstanding in
vestments-in coppers to a greater or
less extent-upon which necessary
money could not be realized.

The barber was Japanese, and when
the first wild strains broke upon my
ear l sat up with Il jerk that put my

what 1t was. He did not know enough
English to tell.
Whatever it was, it was fast ap-

sand pigs being killed inside a heavy
lidded box that opened and closed at
short and regular intervals. The sound
was always present, but alternately
muti1ed and clear like the lamentation
of a steam-operated brass band.

HAVE NOT SPOKEN IN YEARS.
brother and sister Maintain stlenss
Toward Each Other.

On q seventy-f1ve acre farm four
miles from Chateaugay, Franklin
County, N. Y, dwelt James and Mary
Durney, brother and sister, who, al
though they have lived in the same
house since childhood and the the only
occupants OF the house, have not
spoken to each other for forty
years.
James Is go years old and Mary So.
Their uncommunicatlveness has for
twoscore years been one of the won
ders of that part of Franklin County,
and the fact that otherwise they ap-
pear to get along together amlcaby
has but served to intensity interest In
the case.
What further adds to the interest of
the situation Is that neither brother nor
sister ever says a derogatory word of
the other to anyone.
Yet the cause of the period of forty
two years of silence toward each other
Is one Of the traditions of neighbors.
When Mary Durney was Is years old
she wanted to go to a party in the
village Of Chateaugay, and her broth
er, Ave years older, declared that she
should not; that she was too young to
go to parties.
The girl tried to slip out of the
house. but her brother caught and de-
tained her, and refused to permit her
to leave the sitting room of their home
until the last vehicle had departed
with It's merry load of youthful farmer
folk. AS the sound of the wheels of
the last carriage died away Mary was
seized with frantic grief and passion
and struggled desperately to open the
door that her brother had locked, put
ting the key in his pocket. He sat
back and laughed at his little sisters
vain efforts to open the door She
struggled to force the lock and then
pounded frantically on the door until
exhausted by her efforts and her i'm
potent rage, she fell on the floor She
lay there for hours, refusing to move,
and shrieking when her mother tried
to get her to rise.
When the girl arose the next day she
refused to speak to or notice her BROTH
er, and this Is the attitude she has
maintained resolutely, through good
fortune and bad, through deaths in the
family, through success In business en-
terprises that came to them, through
the sickness or health Of both of them.
Her brother, quick to take his cue,
and apparently feeling as angry as
she, after a few abordve attempts,
ceased to speak to her when he re-
ceived no answer to his remarks. And
from that day, fortytwo years ago on
Oct II, these two persons, dwelling
together, have locked their lips against
each other.

A MILLION WAS HER GAME.
w. E. Corey Was Good Thing" for

frank letters written to her father,
Charles H. Gilman, of this city, Ma
belle Gilman, whose affair with Will

she deliberately set out in life with
the intention of Catching" a rich hus-
band.
In her epistolary confessions to her
sire, Miss Gilman tells of her first
meeting with Corey, of the infatu-
alton that followed and of the jealousy
of Mrs. Corey, She declares without
ado that young girl is very foolish
to run with" poor young men. Dear
Pop" wrote Miss Gilman four years
ago, Il may surprise you all by marry
ing very rich man" That was while
the actress was appearing in the
"Mocking Bird" at Pittsburg, and long
before the millionaire and his wife had
had any trouble.
Mr. Gilman says that Corey occupied
a box at the opening performance be-
cause he was infatuated with his
daughter. Then followed champagne
dinners at Pittsburg restaurants, and
several automobile rides about the
city.
Mr. Gilman tells of the first cham
payne dinner given by Mr.. Corey to
his daughter, Nothing but the very
finest was opened" he said, "and my
daughter had everything she wanted
while she stayed in Pittsburg 1t was
that dinner that caused trouble be-
tween the millionaire and his wife.
MY daughter is wealthy now. She
lives in Paris, and where do you sup
pose the money comes from? She has
just invested a quarter of a million in
New York real estate, and has lots
more than that"
