J. ". Burrowes Of West

Portland. Me-, Sept. IA West
Southport dispatch to the Press says:
John w. Burrowes, who for several
years followed the sea on a fisherman.
and who of late during the winter sea-
son is member of the life saving crew
of Cape Elizabeth, told reporter Of
the Press a story Of how he participate
ed in the rescue of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook and large party off the coast of
Greenland, claiming that the members
Of the fishing crew never received their
pay. with the exception of some money
which was contributed by the passen-
gers of DR.. Cooks ship and it's owner.
Mr.. Burrowes said that DR.. Cook
was responsible in the matter and that
an agreement was drawn up and wit

Financial World Resuming
Its Normal Condition.
Anxiety Over Late Nj. Harri-
man Is Ended by Death.
No Danger Of a Shortage in Corn
crop...conditions Improve.

New York, Sept. 12.-The long sus-
pense in which the financial world has
been held by the declining health Of
| F.. H. Hartman was ended by his
death Thursday afternoon and specu-
lativc attention turned promptly to the
future, in accordance with its normal
and legitimate function.
1t is this which explains the fact
that prices of securities mounted buoy
antly upwards on the news of the death
of the man whose plans and activities
involved more widespread interest and
material hopes probable than any 9TH
err individual of his generation. The SUI
perfical fears and anxieties that the
actual death of Mr.. Hartman would
throw the financial markets into dis
order has been seen to be ill-grounded
for some time past. The conviction has
been general and growing that an early
termination of his career was approach
ing
Speculative markets are not given to
waiting on an event so clearly outlined
to take their measures. Such liquida-
ton as was induced by the prospect Of
the new order of filings was proceeded
clearly also that precipitate bear OPP
orators had MADE enormous short sale
in anticipation IF state of disorder
in the market The urgent demand
from this moment, of course, account
ed largely for the violence of the re-
covery Of class with this buying
was that by would-he investors who
have feared to buy the Hartman
stocks at the great advances which
have occurred in them, but who were
eager watchers for a reaction which
would offer opportunities to secure
holdings to advantage.
AS soon as the stock market gave
evidence that it had absorbed the shock
of Mr.. Harriman'S death, buyers of
semi-investment class were largely in
evidence. Confidence in the general sit
uation was revived and little attention
was paid to any of the modifying fac
tors in the outlook.
The showing of the government crop
report last week. while shatterirg the
hopes of a bumper corn crop, seemed
to excite no fears in the financial dis
trict that there would be any danger
of shortage in the required supply
of cereal crops. The weeks weather
news, in fact, promised some BETTER
ment.
The same hopeful spirit regarding the
evidence of heavy inroads making on
the cash reserves of the banks during
last week.

There is a time in every mans ca reer when his tastes change for bet grades, in the other he progresses. The first is only the swift road to fail ure and the second is gradually COW ering the distance between himself and success while each direction Is invaria bly, made plain to the observer by the clothes he wears. When a man gives up his tailor and falls into the ready made clothes class, he sac rifices a feeling of pride he has pre- viously manifested in his personal appearance. The ready made clothes perhaps in themselves may not be un- becoming or depotative of extreme chea pness, but it is the demoralizing effect the thought of retrogression- going backward or losing. interest in matters so absolutely personal as dress has upon the tranquility of the mind.

In this way you get an individual style and your own selection of goods from an almost unlimited stock of patterns The kind of clothes you can make no mistake about are those Wheale makes at 1042 Main street.
