Lawson, the famous Boston fiuacier, whose recent disappear- ance from his sisters home in Maine, has caused widespread newspaper comment. On Friday, the 13th, this sale of week, autioneers started the Dream-wol- the wonderful shore estate. owned by Lawson, in Plymouth county, Massachusetts. This sale marks the end of Lawsons career in frenzied finance. Lawsons collapse is another tragedy of the Street of which he has so often written in bitter terms. It d, on for twenty years Representative of the State of Kansas Chairman of the Rules Committee, and leader in Agricultural legislation, will speak THURSDAY V, At The had been known that he was up But alagainst it for ready cash.understandbeen the has ways there ing that he had safeguarded his estate so that, come what might, he would retain its title. The announcement that it is to be sold to the highest bidder was a real shock to most of his acquaintances. Lawsons health has not been good for some time. His children all are married, and he has been more or less a recluse from society, secluding himself at DreamWold in recent months. While he kept up occasional appearances at his offices on State street, in Boston, his intimates have been compelled to comment on the fact that he no longer was the slashing, fearless crusader of the days of frenzied finance. RATED AS SLOW PAY. Claims against Dreamwold total $225,000, mostly in the formow-e- of mortgages by banks and bills and to merchants storekeepers. There has been strong pressure on Mr. Lawson, who, after all, was rated as slow pay in the credit books. He purchased the intial part of the estate 2 2 years ago and gradually added to it until it contains 210 acres. It is said that $1,000,000 was spent on the grounds before a single building was constructed, and that it represents today an investment of $2,250,000, although only assessed for $292,000. Dreamwold hall, with its 2 5 rooms, contains many valuable art treasures, including his famous collection of some several hundred elephants carved from every conceivlove able sort of material. The a small home constructed nest, early in Mr. Lawsons proprietorship, as a place where he and his wife could retire for quiet when the children were young, also is to be sold. Mrs. Lawson died in 190G, and her tomb is near the Love Nest in the shruberry. It is to be removed before the sale. HIS OX I A LOVE.

Lawson also was a great book collector and some of the rarest fiist editions in existence are in the house. At one time his glorious horses were i I the talk of the entire country, winning prizes at every big show. He built a private riding academy, seat00 ing 3 people, and a barn feet long. In the former, he gave a horse show annually, to which the elite of society were glad to be ine vited. On the estate was a all and with stand track, grand of the flings.
