Elected t Fill Out Term of Lute Hmatur Prortur, The following story from the New York Times has considerable local In terest In the way that tbe "Calfskin" Senator referred to Is an uncle of Dr. F. C. Page of this city: With the election to the United States senate of Carroll 8. Page of Vermont to fill out the unexpired term of the late Redfield Proctor, Washington, D. C. has acquired a new brand of legislator namely, a "calfskin" senator. There have been oil" senator, railroad senators and lumber senators, but never before has the humble calfskin reached such heights of dignity. In this Instance, however, Mr. Page represents his own tannery and not a cattle trust. Meeting a loyal son of Vermont, he was asked: "What has this new man, Page, your new senator, done to be sent to Washington?" "Calfskins," replied the loyal son of Vermont; "Carroll 8. Page has bought more calfskins than any other man in the United States." Then was told a characteristically American story of a poor boy who built up a big business, and is now president of two banks, a director of railroads, and one of the very few millionaires In his state. Tbls Is rega-ded as no slight achievemen., because, as the Vermonter put It, "any old fool can find a million in New York, but It takes brains to do It In Vermont." Mr. Page's fortune all originated In the tannery business at Hyde Park. In Lamoille county, and the Inquirer was Immediately assured that the nomenclature of the town containing the tannery Is merely a coincidence and not a hideous at tempt at the Jocular. When, how ever, the "King of Hyde Park" de cided to "break Into" politics his troubles began. In 1890 he was elected governor of Vermont, and In tbe campaign to secure the Republican nomination re ceived tbe title wblcb has stuck to him ever since. Some political rival referred to him as "Mr. C. S. Page, whose Initials aptly fit his business, calfskin," and "Calfskin Page" he has been In Vermont ever since. It made excellent material for campaign humor, this play on his name, but while his opponents were chuckling over the Joke, Page got the nomina tion and was elected governor. Years ago, when they were chil dren. Miss Hearam and Matthew Hearam of Albany, N. Y., who, al though he bears the same name, Is no relation, were playmates, and as they grew up their childhood friend ship ripened Into love. They became separated, but neither forgot the other, and although there had been but one meeting In 17 years, each re mained true. Miss Hearam's friends gave her a party, and after It was over she went for the night to the home of a friend, Mrs. Ellen Vox, at 147 Smith street. She slept with one of the daughters, and when the daughter awoke she found Miss Hearam ill. A physician was summoned, but before he arrived the woman was dead. Death was pronounced due to heart failure. The man who was to have been the groom Is arranging tbe funeral. While In the Cab of Southern Pacific, John Middough Was Laid Out. RENO, Nev.. Not. 2.
