Shortly before midnight Mrs Worden

offered to notify all the subscribers on

PRICE OF FACTORY
NOT FORTHCOMING
Outlook for Purchase Of S. A.
Smith Plant is Dubious
Hardware 6 Woodenware Company
Now Being Operated independently.

All but two of the Is plants compris-
Ing the Hardware & Woodenware COM
pany have been disposed of to separate
concerns and the properties nave peen
decided to them and are being operated
independently of each other. The two
which remain in the hands of the re-
ceivers are the S. A. Smith plant In
Brattleboro and the factory in Leomin-
ster Mass. At the time of the auction
sale of all the factories and other real
estate by direction of United States
Judge j. l.. Martin of Brattleboro,
which took place in Worcester, Mass,
April 20, bid of $4,000 made by A. II.
Tsdale of Leominster was accepted.
Mr.. Tisdale represented the factory
managers, and the understanding was
that the managers would take the sepa-
rate properties at specified sums, which
has been done in all cases but the two
mentioned.
The amount which was to be paid
for the Brattleboro factory was $4,000.
Persons at all familiar with property of
this kind know that that figure is much
below the actual value of the plant in
GLIDING the land and the large amount
of personal property, but the amount
has not been raised, and it is stated
that the prospect for raising the nee
essary sum is not very good
1t is understood that the terms of the
sale were such that Mr.. Tisdale person
ally will not be held to pay the proper
ton of the total bid represented by the
Brattleboro and Leominster plants I'M
less the managers put up the amount
agreed upon. If that is not done with
in a reasonable time it probably will
be necessary for the receivers to dis
pose of these two plants at forced sale
1t is to be hoped that some way out
of the difficulty will be found which
will insure the stability of the Brattle-
boro concern. The receivers are Addison
f.. Cudworth and South Londonderry
and Fred w. Crandall of New York.
Two appeals from Judge Martins or
ders in the sale of the property of the
Hardware & Woodenware company were
taken to the United States circuit court
by New York and Baltimore syndicates
but both have been withdrawn, leaving
no obstacle in the way of the DISPOSE
ton of the factories in the way that
has been done.

SUICIDE OF GEN. NooI AND WIFE
Stabbed Themselves as a Final Tribute
to Their Departed Emperor-Nog Was
Japan's National Hero.

General Count Maresuke Nogi, SUI
preme military councillor of Japan, and
his wife, the Countess Nogi, committed
suicide Friday night in accordance with
the ancient Japanese custom as their
final tribute to their departed emperor
and friend, Mutsuhito.
They attended the funeral services of
the late mikado at the palace, then re-
tired to their modest home in the sub
urbs of Toxic and began preparations
for death. When the signal gun an
nounced that the emperor's body was
being taken to the funeral car General
Nogi plunged a sword into his throat
and the Countess stabbed herself in the
stomach.
Those who knew General Nogi well
declared that his calmness in killing
himself was the kind of stoicism he
always displayed, no matter what crisis
faced him. They instanced the famous
charge of the japanese up 203-meter
hill during the japanese war,
when as commander of the Japanese
third army Nogi saw the Russians NOW
down his forces in hundreds among
them two of his own sons, and yet
calmly and fearlessly continued the bat
tie, finally taking the hill and event
ually being handed the surrender of
Lieutenant General Stoessel at Port
Arthur.
General Count Nogi was a national
hero in japan. 1t was he who captured
Port Arthur from the Russians in 1901
and assured the success of his country
in the battle of Mukden
On the outbreak of the Russo jap
anese war in 1904, General Nogi was
appointed commander of the third army
His forces took 203-meter hill after ter
rible slaughter, and also destroyed the
Russian squadron in the port. General
Stoessels proposal to surrender Port
Arthur was personally received by Gen.
eral Nogi. The Countess Nogl was q
graduate of Vassar college at POUCH
keepsie, N. Y. The general was So years

Origin of the Names "Uncle Sam" and
"John Bull"

The Manchester, N. H., Mirror & Far
mer replied as follows to an inquiry
regarding the origin of the names Uncle
Sam and John Bull;
There was a character named Sam
Wilson in the employ of a provision con-
tractor on the Hudson river during the
early days of the Revolutionary war and
the farmers round about addressed him
as Uncle Sam. When casks and boxes
Intended for the army were branded with
the initials of the new republic, "U. S."
the country folks said they must stand
for Uncle Sam, and the joke spread all
over the country. The nickname, John
Bull was derived from the title of a
satirical book by DIR. Arbuthnot on the
Duke of Marlborough, written in 1872,
which read THE History of John Bull.
the character dealt with in the book
was bluff, clustering person who wore
leather breeches and top boots, a figure
which seemed to typify the Englshmar
! of the time.

Power OF an Air Brake.

Some idea of the power of an air brake
may be gained from the following: 1t
takes a powerful locomotive drawing a
train of 10 passenger cars distance of
about five miles to reach a speed of 60
miles per hour on a straight and level
track. The brakes will stop the same
train from a speed of 60 miles per hour
in 700 feet. Roughly it may be stated
that train may be stopped by the
brakes In about three per cent of the
distance that must be covered to give II
its speed.
