The Ezra Pattee place in Monroe has been
sold to Mrs. Lucie NJ. Crowell of Pittsfield.
For two generations the place had been held
by the Pattee family and the final dissolu-
ton of the home associations is pathetic.
1t is one of the typical New England homes
which, prosperous in the hands OF the pro-
prietor at his death, passes from the family
name. Connected with the farm is a valu-
able wood and lumber lot, which no doubt
had much to do with the sale of the place.

Brooks and we'll remembered by many of
our older citizens. AS Il boy he lived with
his parents in West Brooks on the Sprout

Last Years Sales of Hyomei, the Guaran-

So pronounced is the relief and cure fol-
lowing the use of Hyome, that it has been
publicly recommended by leading druggists
and physicians in nearly every State and
town in the country, with the result that
last years sales were larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple and
breathing medicated air and not taking
drugs into the stomach, no doubt has help
ed to create this widespread and rapidly in
creasing army of friends.

The Belfast correspondent of an out
0f-toWn paper announced last week
that the city council had elected A. j.
Knowlton as superintendent of schools.
We supposed that every one knew that
the city council has nothing whatever
to do with the election of a school SUI
perintendent, but find there is consid-
cradle talk about the matter. 1t was
simply an error of the reporter in ques-
ton. The city council did not elect or
attempt to elect this official. The
school committee is an Independent
body, elected by the people, and has
sole jurisdiction in all school matters.
Politics have never entered into its
choice of superintendent, teachers or
janitors; and not until this year, we
believe, was an attempt ever made to
bring politics into school affairs.

Democratic administration of the
affairs of that city. One Thomas F..
Curley was promised an important
office for carrying ward II, but when
the time came to deliver the goods his
record was found to be such that his
appointment was not expedient and he
was given a stone crusher instead. AS
the Boston Transcript says: when
asked for bread the mayor did not give
him stone, but stone-crusher, an en-
tirely different affair." Then Curley
gave the crusher to reputable con-
tractor named O'Connell, who did the
work, but by written agreement, divid-
ed the profits with Mr.. Curley. A de-
duction of $500 for political expenses,
from the gross profits, was first made
before the division between OConnell
and Curley No. 1 was effected. Then
Mr.. Curley to the half of the net profits
thus received added the aldermanic
salary of James M. Curley, and the new
total was divided between the two Cur
leys as the net proceeds of the whole
transaction. O'Connell gave up the
lob for some reason and the Curleys
found a contractor named Mahan, who
entered into an agreement with them
on a basis Of leaving them sixty per
cent of the profits. Even this was a
very liberal allowance on their part,
since Mr.. Mahan has testified that ne
would have been glad to take the
crusher contract for twenty per cent OF
the profits.

ported deficiency of SS5457,' referred
to in the recent campaign, was intended
to reflect upon the action or integrity of

committee Mr.. Welch was chairman.
We can say that we have never heard
the integrity of MI. WEIGH questioned

any one question the integrity of Mr..

time. The books do show a deficiency,
however, which as yet is unaccounted

The material is transferred from MY
Mamie Rose" a novel, whose author
named himself Owen Kildare for a
handspring into literature. He went to
live in the Bowery, married a settle

one Owen Conway, and of his love for
missionary. Just to show that life is
stranger than fiction. Owen Kildares
romance came to play in Broadway
while Owen Conway'S ends in Jail. The

Owen Kildare's Owen Conway is the
leader of a gang that gathers in one
of those cellars that are scarcer in the
Bowery than on the stage. Into it
rushes sudderN the settlement girl,
who. having caught one of the gang
trying to rob her, has been accused in
turn by him of a worse crime of the
streets. Owen defends her; and then
the whole trouble begins. By the next
act she has him on his knees praying.
Then she makes him janitor of the mis-
sion. He is as good as Lord Fauntleroy

who are after him for numbering his
woman. owen hides him. Thereupon
the rich young man, in fiossy clothes
and a tall hat, who also loves Mamie,
tells Owen that his passion for the
rose-like young lady is quite out of the
question; that it is selfish: that he
would simply drag her down to his own
level. This affects Owen profoundly.
He becomes hysterical, calls in Mamie
to tell her how bad he is-that all of
his psalm-singing was mockery-and
finally reveals himself to her as the
protector of murderer. 1t is just here
that the paths of owen Kildare and
Owen Conway separate. We are led to
believe that Kildare took his story from
his own life; ne prefers, evidently, to
keep his sorrows fictional; for while
Owen of the Conways was being hand
cuffed for his trip to quod-happy,
however. in the consciousness of his
moral regeneration-a large audience
was calling: "Owen. Owen, Owen Kill
