got some experience cutting granite
for Phil carey.
In December, 1892 a position with
Norcr0ss Bros. of Worcester, Mass.
was accepted. AS the granite business
was quiet because of the strike, an
opportunity was offered Mr.. Brown to
do general estimating on building
work for time and later he had
charge of a Troy, n. H., plant, as we'll
as stone estimates al the Worcester Of
flee. In 1896, NorcrOSs Bros. opened a
granite office in New York, and Mr..
Brown was placed in charge. IN 1901
the Woodbury. Granite Co. wanted to
branch out, and q position as manager
OF its New York office was accepted.
In 1905 Mr. Brown went into business
for himself and was incorporated under
New York state laws in 1906. Mr.
Brown now has the ambition to estab-
liSh a successful granite business in
Hallowell, and if possible, help others
who want to locate monumental yards,
but 60 not care TO operate q quarry.
In reply to q question for informal
tor, Mr.. Brown had the following kind
words to say: I'm reply to your es-
teemed favor Of the 10th, beg to say
that we are always glad to know that
our little venture is OF interest to the
HallOWell people, and still more SO to
see the interest they are manifesting in
getting new ventures located in the
city, and the encouragement extended
them once they do locate there. May
Fallowell again become active and
light hcartCd."
1t would hardly seem fair to close
this story without saying that Mr..
Brown, with, all Of his energy, here
ana elsewhere. has never ceased to re-
member his home town in all that is
good, even to the selection of 4 WIFE,
Mrs. Brown was formerly Miss Lillian
GctChell, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harrison Getchell, who are still living
here, Mr.. Getchcll being d hardware
merchant Mr.. and Mrs. Brown have
one daughter. Their present home is in
New York.

RECOGNITION OF REBELS
BY United States Is Eagerly Awaited
BY People at BuefeIds.

Colon Nov. PA wireless dispatch
dated I5lucfolds, Friday. has been re
ceiNed here 1t says that an announce
,nent has been made unoficially that
the United States government has roc
ogni2ed the revolutionistS and that
confirmation of it is eagerly awaited
The situation in western Nicaragua,
the dispatch adds, is said to be alarm
ing. kilograms from San Juan Del Sur
and the boundary of Costa Rica declare
that President Zclaya is practicins
horrible means to force the enlistment
of troops and to obtain financial assist
ance in carrying on the war.
There is great jubilation in Blue
fields, where perfect order is being
maintained.
According to information brought in
10 Bluefclds by deserters, the troops
of President Zclaya are suffering great
hardships from lack Of food and ex-
posture. The Zelayan detachment of the
attacking army, according to these de-
serters. were promised permission to
loot Rama for two days if they Were
successful.
General Chamorro, the revolutionary
leader, retains control of the port OF
Greytown, the dispatch continues and
the failure of President Zelaya to
make a renewed attack on this coast
causes the belief that there is great
trouble in the interior since the dis
lance from Granada to Greytown is
but 40 hours and the way is open for an
advance.

buttal purposes and to prove that there
was a great change in the way the
home was kept after the advent of the
plaintiff in the case as mistress of the
Gordon domicile.
One of the witnesses testified that he
was more or less familiar with the
habits of Mr.. Gordon subsequent to the
death of his first wife and prior to his
marriage with the plaintiff. He testi-
fed that during this period that the
parlor of the elegant home in Potwin
was used for a ''catch alp and was
filled with harness, saddles and farm
ing implements.
According to the testimony a great
change occurred following the maria &c
with the woman who is now suing for
the widows share of the estate. The
reality and the domiciIe resumed an air
of respectability.
Judging from the testimony adduced
from this and other witnesses Mr.. Cor
don was a Kind and affectionate wife
and greatly prolonged the life of Mr..
Gordon by her kindly ministrations
during periods of illness. The testimony
of the witnesses along this line also in

City Ballot.

Judge Dana listened to the argu-
ments of the attorneys who attempt ed
to iron out the troubles of the Demo-
Gratis who want their names placed on
the tickets for the spring election, Sat
urday afternoon. Two or three hours
were consumed in the arguments as
Judge Dana at the conclusion asked
for authorities touching the questions
which are involved and will render a
decision after briefs have been sub
mitted.
The preliminary work of calling the
election, printing the ballots and post
ing notices was done under the old law

WANTS NO CHANGE.
Philippines Assembly Will Memorial
ize Congress on Tariff Bill.

Manila, March 22.-The Philippines
assembly is considering informally the
tariff legislation new progressing in
Washington. 1t is planned to take up
the question tomorrow and to embody
the views of the assembly in set of
resolutions which will be forwarded to
the Philippine representatives in Wash
ington. 1t is expected that these reso-
lutions will oppose any action of con-
gress tending in any way to alter the
trade relations between the Philippines
and the United States.
It is manifest that a majority of the
members of the assembly fear that
closer trade relations will lead to closer
political relations which will interfere
with the ultimate independence of the
islands. They also fear that the losses
to island revenue by free trade would
end the financial independence of the
insular government and compel it to
be placed under the direct control of
congress, thus lessening the assem-
bly's voice in insular affairs.
