Months Of Sorrow

W. H. Dilwortji's Mind Gives Way

The saddest event In the history
of Enterprise, the drowning of Lan
drum and Wlll.am Dllworth, llJ-tle
sons and'only' children of Mr. and
Mrs. William H. Dllworth, In the old
reaervolr last April, culminated in
a tragedy that has caused deapeat
sorrow im all this, part of the state.
The mind of the father, bearing a
grief that could not be lessen edi or
diverted, finally gave way, and at 3
o'clock Monday morning he shot hiw
self In the mouth with a revolver,
dying Instantly.
Mr. Dllworth bad been breaking
fast for a week or more, and believed
he ,waa holding communication with
the spirilla of hU little companions
and that they wanted him to come.
He was suffering physical paini the
, night of the tragedy to an almost
unbearable degrea."' He and hia wifo
arose before 3 o'clock and started a
fire. He complained! of the pain,
said he waa dying and asked 'hla
' wife to call the neighbors. She had
left the room but a minute, when
he fired the lai'.al shot and was
dead before she could reach hie
body.
Neighbors gathered quickly but
all that could be do:ve was to caie
for Ihe B'trlckem loved on left be
, hind. The entire town end community
was shocked and grieved beyond) ex
pression. Mr. and Mrs. Dllworth
came here as s'rangars la&t April,
and on the day following the arrival
of the mother and sons, the latter
were taken away In so sudden and
dreadful a manner, that every heart
was opened and every hofia became
a home to the sorrowing parents.
Since then they have doubly won
the respect and love of all, both
because of their brave bearing of
their great grief and because of their

.LIVERPOOL DOCKS ANCIENT.
Founded Aftor Conquest of Ireland by
Honry II.
Liverpool's docks, which are to be
further extended at a cost of over
$15,000,000. were begun In 1709, when
the town, constructed the first wet
dock In the world. Down to 1843 the
docks were confined to the Liverpool
side of the Mersey, but iu that year
Birkenhead's dock scheme was begun.
Liverpool owes Its very origin to its
suitability for a port, having been
founded when the silting of the Dee
robbed Chester of Its position as chief
port for north Ireland. After Strong
bow's partial. .eouquest of the island
under Henry II. a fresh port wa need
ed, and the foundations of what Is
now Liverpool were laid.
The Diamond Carat.
' In diamond Innguaxe a carat Is eniwl
to four grains.' but It is not customary
nmnng-merchants to speak of carat's
under twelve grains. Many- dlffli ultln
lu the trade are due to the fact tlvit
the carat of France Is lighter than that
of Leipzig, whh b has one lighter than
the carats of Holland and Antwerp
Attempts to establish a uuivercal
standard have failed, owing to voa
sorvatism and false pride.
