LETTER FROM BOSTON, Recent State and Civic Elections.
CONTRAST IN THE WAR NEWS.
Social and Personal Items of Ju- terest.
Bostox, Des. 17,1899.—State and city elections bave come and gone; the Hub of the Universe is ovee more pursning the even tenor of its way. Afier one of the closest contests in its history, Boston for years beld up asa model for Demucrate, elecied to its chief office a tormer success- fal aspiraot,—Hart, Republican, by sbout 2,000 majority. There was probably more mud-throwing and dirty linen wasbed io tars contest than for wauy a long day in Boston’s civic history. General Collins and Jobn R. Murphy bad been in nomina-
caucuses for choive Collings won out by a fair margin. Murphy tlamed the 80-called Board
ot Strategy, aod smarting under his defeat by Collins bolted the Democratic ticket and avowed his inteation of voting the Re- publican ticket. Then the trouble started. Everybody tcok a hand iu and the reenli wae perconalties galore. The general belief‘before the clection on Tuesday was that Murphy bad made the mistake of bis lifeia bolting the ticket and that his friends to aman woud etand by their principles. But the result showed that it was greatly due to Murphy and many of his men bolting that Hart, the Republican candidate, won out. There promises to be widespread decapitation around Cily Hal! at once, as Hart’s strong plank was to cut down unnecessary ¢x- penee and lop off the great number of civic employes who have been barnacles on the loca! body politic. Already the little axe bas been sharpened and Murphy shouters and helpers have been given notice that they must make greater efforts to ‘earn their bread by the sweai of their brow,” Wm. L. Strickland and Wm. Curtis, both formerly of Charloutetown, were elected to the Common Counc, the first rung on the adder of political feme.
Ine cause of the wide discrepancy of telegraphic news in Charlotietewn and American papere is hard t) diagnose. There is a woful difference. But then one 18 on the Canadian eide of the ive and the other on the American, Then there is a great science in the modern newspaper in being able to keep the readers guessing from day today It certainly is slightly wnyetitying to come home in the evening and proceed io tackle a home paper and then the Boston or New York product.

welcome home which a grateful couatry will give them.
The wave of prosperity is making itsel: feel in great shape. Almost every branct ot industry is feeling the effect, and busi- ness in generalis better than it bas been for vears. Factories everywhere are in- creasing the pay-roll of employes, anu help i¢ ata premium. Of course ther is the usual exira Christmas burisesre, but the geuvers! prosperity is something more than transient, I: certainly will bea ha; pier and a merrier Christmas than been known around these parts for som time.

AN ENTERPRISING FIRM.
Sketch of the Progress of a Well Known Business House.
Thirty years ago, the 21st of December, 1869, Eimund Horne and Thomas Pierce commenced business on the corner of Queen and Fitzroy Streets, Sbarlottetown, dealing in grain and flour. Atthis time Mr. Alexarder Horne acted as clerk. Afver a year’s experience their warehouse was found to be inadtquate for their rap'dly increasing businees, and the firet building was moved back to the rear of their lot and a new one erected at the fron’, thua doubling their capacity. They then puili a large three story double tene- ment brick house on the corner where the wooden t uilding was moved from. This builvlog pad & S8toe- iu one part of it. Two ,ears atierwards @ similur building was buiitos Queen Sireet. Each tene-~ ment was renied »t $200 a year, the tenants paying the city taxes, Now the same tenements rent at $130 a year and the ten- ants do not pay the taxes. But finding that they were stili short of land space they purchased the remaining lote of the estate of the late Paul Mabey, containing in all seven building lots, the whole meaturing 186 feet on Queen street and 150 feec on Fitzroy street.
In 1872 Mr. Alexander Horne was taken int») partperebip, and became man- ager of the businese. A large grocery trade was now carried on in addition to tbe grain and flour businese, and the sale of farm machinery, under the same of Horne, Pierce & Co. This continued ull 1884, when Alexander Horne bought out Thomas Pierce's interest and the name of the firn: was changed to A. Horne & Co.
But the business was furiher expanded
aud it was necessary to addto their jarge warehouse. In 1890 therefore an addition was made to the existing
structures, making the buildizg 70fi.x 70ft., with a floor space of 14,700 feet.
Their business steadily grew from year to year, and again space,became cramped. Land wae unavailavle’adjoining their pre- mises and ¢tore room had :o be rented for the‘r goods during the sh'pping and summer &eason.
They have recently purchased the R C. Macleod block on Kent Street, 125ft x 42't , three stories bigh with a basement ine full size of the building. seven feet deep and walled with Nova Sco:ia free- stone. There is also a wooden building on the same lot 7Oft x 35ft at the rear of ibe trick building ; and three smaller- build inge. The floor area of the brick ware- house “ia 21,000 eq. ft., of the wooden building, 10,000, including the basements. The floor space of the three brick ware~ houses is 8,000 sq.ft. The total space on Kent'Street is 40,000 feet and on Fiizroy Street, 14,000.
That the firm is very evergetic is shown by the progress they have made. They certainly desevve a full share of patrouag e
