The obvious difficulty with Mr. Car
negie's remark that if the American
workman neither smokes, drinks nor
consumes sugar he practically escapes
tariff duties is that it isn't so. The
tariff taxes the workman from the
cradle TO the grave. and it comes out
of ais pocket in one form or another.

Narbonne. sea captain in the East
india trade, to whom IL was left by
an uncle In the early part Of the last
century.
The captain died here, and so did
his wife, who. lived to the ripe age OF
50, passing away in 1890. They had
a daughter, Mary A. Narbonne. who
was born in the house and lived in It
all her life, dying in It at the age of
81, In 1905.
Miss Narbonne was well known in
Salem, chiefly for her aversion TO
meeting strangers. She was a great
reader and was content TO live en-.
tirely by herself In fact she rarely
suffered anyone TO remain long under
her roof. although she greeted callers
ON their arrival at her door with state
ly courtesy.
One story told OF her Is that she n.
quired the few friends who came 10
take tea with her to fetch their own
teapots and cups, as she did not
care to have them use hers.
The house was well filed with old
furniture and curios, collected chiefly
by her father. and she was greatly an.
noyed by collectors. for whom she en-.
tertained cordial contempt.
On Miss Narbonnes death the col.
lection was taken away by her heirs.
