Vandals were at work early Tuesday morning on the turnpike, down through Frye Village and up Stott's hill. They were apparently without fear of conse- quences, as they kept shouting loudly as they tore down fences, removed gate posts and played pranks with board walks. At William C. Donald's house, a gate post was pulled up; at Walter S. Donald's.the fence by the path to the electrics was overthrown; at Dr. Elliott's, the board walk was raised to a position of eminence on the hitching post and on Stott's hill a large advertising sign board was pulled up ami placed in the road where it remained a menace to life and limb throughout the greater part of the forenoon.

THERE is one proverb especially for

housekeepers. It declares that the

best is always the cheapest. It pays to

remember this when buying coffee. Get

the best. Don't be deceived! You can't

have value without cost. The price of

Chase & Sanborr/s Seal Brand Coffee

is a little more than common coffee, but

it costs twice as much to import. It

is worth ten times as much to use. It

is no mere beverage; it is food and

stimulant both. If you want a food-

coffee try it. In i-lh. and a-lb Tin

doctor her family. Tens of thousands of mothers have relied upon JOHNSON'S ANODYNE LINI- MKNT, and have found it always

reliable. It is used both externally and internally and it is the remedy

for inflammation from any cause. Used continually for 90 years as a

household remedy, its sustained popularity and increasing use every year

are the best possible testimonials to its curative powers.

Jeremiah J. Reardon, one of the Law- rence young men who went to the Pn 1- lDDines In t'he seivlce of his country, died Wednesday morninjr at the home of his father, Pohn Reardon of 186 West street.

Youhe: Reardon was about 24 years of age and served as a private In t'he 43rd U. S. Volunteers. He saw considerable service on the l*land of Luzon and was finally taken 111 with malarial fever. He was Invalided h. me several months ago and for a time his chances of reccveiy seemed good, but for some we^ka he had been failing: in strength, and tr.e end came about 5.30 this morning.

According to Reardon's discharge papers he was a "good soldier," which co-m'mendation .Is worth a great deal when it Is rem mbere dthat he served In a most trying campaign in a tropical country.

When the sick soldier reached his home here some monthsâgo. ttie joy of seeing his father and sisters seemed to Klve him renewed' strength, although he had left t'he hospital in San Francisco weakened and emaciated and had en dured a hard train Journey acn es the continent.

■Duke," she said, In excellent high German, "you are very nice."

•'Ah. your majes-ty," he replied with a sl.g-ht blus-h, "you flatter me."

He used high German, too, because he had not mastered the tongue of the Lowlands,

"It Is the truth,"she sail. "I think you are the nicest man that ever came down the Rotterdam pike."

The Duke trembled. He felt that he was on the brink of a proposal.

'Your Majesty," he said, "is pleased to raise the hopes of one of the mO;'t unworthy of her worchlpers."

The Queen caught his ldTge fluttering hand In her firm little white one.

'"May 1 call you Henrlch?" she murmured.

"Call me Hen If you want to," he has- tily answered,

"Yuu know, Henry," Ihe fair girl soft- ly said, "that etiquette of the court makes my wishes law. Would yû scream if I kissed you, Hennie?"

••1 would make an heroic effort to stltle my emotions, Your Majesty," the agitated Duke replied.

Then the fair girl changed her Une. ■Duke," she said in serious accents,

"I have a confession to make to you." The young man dropped his closely

cropped he-ad and turned bashfully away. But he let his large, brown hand linger In her white fingers.

"I ought to be going home," he stammered.

>"Walt!" cried the Queen, "I will de- faln you only till I know my fate. You must have seen that I love you. Will you—will you be my owneet?"

The Duke trembled so violently that hi- epaulets Jingled.

■•Oh, Willie," he murmured, "this is so sudden!"

Her Arm, white hand stole around his sword belt.

■•Then your answer Is yes, dearest?" The Duke looked up and saw the love-

light In her eyes. "I'm y-our'n—I ehou'd says your?—my

McCRILLIS 13 FREE.

BOSTON, Dec. 30 -Former Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Ranaom F. McCrlllls of Methuen was last lrujht found not guilty ^n the charge of em- bezzlement.

The case occupied eight days In trying before Justice Lowell In the United States district court and has attracted wide attention.

McCrilHs was charged with embei- zllng $182.09 whle deputy collector in the Lawrence-Lowell district. He wa* appointed, by Collector Gill In May, 1898, end dismissed from the service Nov. 10 last. In the two years that he had been deputy collector he had coI!ec ei something like $70,000 for the government.

The Jury came in at 9.10 last night after being out since 4.30 p. m., and asked for Instructions.

The Jury then withdrew. Not hearing from them at 10.15 p. m.. Judge Lowell sent MarWhal T>ar lng for them, and read to them Judge Hoar's famous charge to a Jury In which the Jurist said that the mlnortty on the Jury must pay due regard to the opinion of the majority. ,

The foreman then raid that come of. the Jurors beHeved that there was a criminal intent in certain counts, while some of them were unable to agree with ■their associates.

Judge Lowell again Instructed them that fhe government must prove the material allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.

They again withdrew to -the Jury room at 10.36 and returned with their verdict at 10.60.

Mrs. McCrilHs, who has so faithfully assisted her husband at the trial, broke down completely when the verd.ct was rendered. Her husband embraced her and toldi her to cheer up.

As the Jury passed out McCrll'la shook each by the hand and thanked them for their verdict.

It is u pleasure to look out into the new, with the point of view set in large successes and splendid achievement wrought in the old. From such a view- point in all its fulness, the official* of one of Andover's leading industries, look out upon the twentieth century, as it Is ushered in with its ho^s and promises.

Forty-four years ago in the year 1866, a man of energy, ability and high integrity laid the foundation of the Tyer Rubber Company. The three qualities referred to were sufficient foundation to guarantee a satisfactory result in any undertaking, but added to tbein was an inventive genius such as few men are endowed with, and which Henry George Tyer used with a master's skill in moulding and developing his business.

But few living today can recall the days when there was no such thing as an atomizer or a syringe or a rubber I band. Few citizens in our own town : realize that these and counties* other conveniences of today are directly or indirectly related to the early labor of the founder of the great business which dedicates to the prosperity of a goodly share of Andover's population for the coming century, the new and model factory equipment now in i>erfect running order on Main street.

tary arrangements for the benefit of the help and the business which they serve.

To describe the factory in its new equipment, is the work of not only a skilled writer, but a more skillful rubber worker, but the writer of this sketch may yet be able to give the ordinary

bulb from another, the tubing from another, and the hard rubber end from another, producing as a finished piece of work an atomizer or a syringe such as was unknown a decade ago.

While a very large amount of hand work enters into the product of the Tyer factory, the same sort of inventive genius which founded the Tyer business is still busy in producing machinery to make a very great j>art of the total product. Tubing rolls from the mouths of wonderful little ma- chines like water from a hose; rubber baiids are chopi>ed into the hopper in quarts and peeks, and rubber stopples come out in an almost unending series of little and big chunks.

One of the moat interesting departments of the factory is the hard rubber department, where for the past five years, the fittings which had for a long time been purchased, are now made. The new factory has abundantly provided for this department winch looks like a big and busy machine shop more than anything else. The moulds and dies are made here, many of them requiring very skillful treatment to bring out the Hue lines often required.

The titling room and stock rooms, and blench rooms and other depart ments are just as interesting as those mentioned while a force of a dozen or more packers and shippers abundantly proves the extent of the business

THINGS OFFERED FOR CARFARES

"I wish to go to 116th street and I haven't a ticket. Here Is a $6 umbre-Ua. Couldn't you let me ride if I leave it as security?"

The questioner, a handsomely dressed woman. Scene, the elevated road station at 23d street. The woman was peering through the ticket seller's window with an anxious expression on her face.

The dispenser of tickets looked at .the woman scrutlnizingly a moment. Tnen without a word, he passed a ticket through the little window. In exchange the woman thrust her closely rolled, silk-covered umbrella through the aperture. There was a ball of en- ameled copper on the end of the handle, and to the outward appearances Uw umbrella was worth every cent of the woman's estimate.

"0, we get plenty of that sort." said the ticket seller after.ward. "I had a woman offer me a French poodle; but as It is against the law to let dogs on the train I couldn't take the collateral. A bystander bought her the ticket however and she went off.

"All sorts of things are left. One day an old gentleman left a pair of gold cuff-buttons as security. He never came back. Whether he forgot what station It was or whether he left town I never knew. That was six months ago. I am wearing the buttons now.

Sometimes they leave books, but I have refused to take these, as the readers never call for them. A well known clubman left a fine matchbox one night. It had his name and address on It. He forgot it, and, three weeks afterwards I mailed it to him. He sent me a dollar for my trouble, and said I had cleared up a mystery. He had suspected one of his servants of steal- ing the article. It was late one night when he got on, and perhaps he had 'been out' to some atttle extent.

"I have had pocket knives, brooches, umbrellas, walking sticks, workbasket3, gloves and suits of clothes left with me

Usually the owners redeem their five- cent pledges the same day. Sometimes I keep them weeks and months. Th*i great stations for these things are 23d. 28th, 33d and 14th sts. on the west sld>, and 9th and 28th sts. on the East side.

"Besides leaving personal properly for rides, some travelers do curious things. Persons in a rush will hold their tickets In one hand and throw whatever they have in the other into the ticket boxes. Women are the of- fenders in this line. I saw a woman drop her baby on top of the box one day. It was only the terrified cry of the infant that brought her to her senses, the act was a thoughtless Impulse, of course, and as the baby was not-hurt the incident created no end of amusement.

"Sometimes they drop small packages into the boxes. A woman broke the glass In the box on the station with her umbrella not long ago. She was making a rush to catch a Harlem train and thrust the umbrella Instead of the ticket into the box.

"There is an old gentleman who gets on at 66th st. who invariably thrusts his morning paper into the ticket box. The guard at that station has had to call him back several times.

"The new turnstiles at some of the stations have given rise to many amusing situations. Some women In their excitement persist In climbing over the stiles; others stoop down and crawl under them."—(New York World,

Vinol does create strength. We know that and have proved It in

many instances. The reason Vinol rejuvenates and

strengthens a person is that it acts directly upon the stomach, strengthening and toning up this great vital organ and enabling it to obtain for itself, from the food that is taken into it, the elements which are required to make firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue, sound bone structure and pure healthy blood.

Vinol does this in a scientific way and is enabled to do it because it contains, dissolved in a delicate mild wine, in a highly concentrated state, the active principles of cod-liver oil.

Vinol does not contain any of the grease that formerly characterized cod- liver oil, hence isiree from all the ob- jectionable features which made it impossible for patients to take or retain that vile-smelling remedy into their stomach.

Vinol in its favorable action upon the stomach and other organs of the body acts also in a beneficial way upon the nerves and brain, and will be found to be invaluable to brain workers as well as body workers.

The following letter is from a well- known authoress. It reads as follows:

"I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the Vinol and testify to its great benefits. Since taking it I am much improved in health, and during the in- tense heat of last August I should not have been able to continue in my literary work if it had not been for the strengthening properties of Vinol. Yours in gratitude."—EIXA STARR, 106 W. 82d St., N. Y. City.

We wish any one stifferingfrom weakness, a demoralized condition of the nerves, or a suscep- tibility to wasting diseases, to call on us and hear what we have to say in regard to Vinol.

Try it on our recommendation. and if you find it does not do everything we claim for lt» we will gladly refund to you the amount you have paid us.

was devoted to an invention of Mr. Tver's, a shoe made of leather but the sole of which was attached with a com* position or cement patented by Mr. Tyer, from which the name of "Compo" was given to the factory, by which teiin it is still frequently designated.

At that time there were employed in the works from <> to 20 liands, and the numbers increased slowly as the business expanded. From conipo - shoes the business soon began to em- brace the manufacture of many other articles, until in lsiu; druggists rubber goods took a prominent place in the production of the factory.

The founder of the Tyer Rubber Company possessed the exact knowledge of the rubber business which was needed to make a success of this particular branch, which was to ultimately make for the concern such a reputa- tion. "Way back in 1H4() Henry (Jeorge Tyer bad begun his study of the rubber business in a small business venture in New .Jersey, and one of the first things to which his mind had been directed was the making of white rubber. In 184U he perfected the compound which turned the black rubber to the pure white such as we see in the syringe bulbs of today.

The growth of the business under Mr. Tver's management was steady and permanent. In INTO a corporation was formed known as the Tyer Rubber Company of which Mr. Tyer was president until his death in 1882* At that time his place was taken by his son Horace II. Tyer who had for several years been active in the business. As- sociated with Mr. Tyer since that date has been John II. Flint as treasurer, to whose care of the tinaneial end of the business, its success is not a little due.

The success under the son has shown that the genius for the particular business in which he is engaged has de- scended from father to son. From a hundred hands the pay roll has grown to number over three hundred; from a small single two story brick building, it has taken on new areas until it today occupies over 82000 square feet of tloor surface; from a list of a dozen items, it now catalogues hundreds of the most artistic and most valuable of the rubber manufactures; from the little beginning bound up in the "Conipo" shoe, the town of Andover is the home

; today of one of the model manufac- tories of the twentieth century for the

] making of rubber goods. The factory which is the subject of

this sketch is situated on Main street on the same site where its founder began in his small way nearly a half cen-

1 tury ago. Nothing of the old remains however save the ground underneath the piles of brick. The modern factory savors nothing of the olden building.

The demands of the 20th" century are exacting, and every demand has been met in the planning by the milkers of "Tynan" Rubber goods for their

1 new factory. Improved mill con- ' st ruction has been followed by the en* j gineer throughout. Massive foundations for wails and engines, and callen-

j ders, and presses, were laid in the most I substantial manner. Abundant light

has been provided upon every hand, I and attention has been given to every

' jve Block phase of heating, ventilating, and sani-

layinan some insight into this interesting place even though some of the technical details are lacking.

The boy playing with his small rubber ball drops it into the sidewalk grating; it is lost beyond recovery; it contained but a small part of real rubber yet it cost him live cents and he mourns it. A (touml of the genuine crude rubber would probably make a gross of that same sort of a rubber ball and the basement of the Tyer factory contains at nearly all times fifty thousand pounds, or the equivalent of over seven million of the small boy's rubber ball. (»reat chunks of it lie there, the finest always worth at least a dollar a pound, and as good as gold in its stability.

From the basement, the lay visitor goes to the engine room; carpet On*the door, a great busy Slater engine of :!.'■( i horse power, throbbing, in the work of turning hundreds of busy wheels all over the factory, all driven by one of the newer inethmlsof power trans-mission,—the rope belt. This in- genious method of power trans-mission is alone worth a visit to the Tyer factory. The great boilers back of the engine room, the two dynamos for supplying abundant electric light for every ; part of the plant, the lire pumps always ready for duty, the steam saving i appliances on every hand, all these and other interesting fittings are noted in the model power plant.

From here one passes to the mill room with its "crack" "snap" as the rubber is ground and stretched, and mixed, and opened in its beginning of the making of perhaps a tiny thread band for my lady's writing case. The great rolls stand for nothing but power as they literally squeeze the rubber into layers that can ultimately be worked into the countless forms which "Tyrian" goods take.

To the writer the room wherein the greatest interest centres is the Heater or vulcanizing room. Here the issue is make or break, for here is the crucial test of almost every piece of work that the factory turns out. It is to the rubber product what the tanning is to leather, what baking is to bread, and woe lie to the finished result, if the baking is allowed to burn, or if the middle is underdone. Hut so carefully is it all guarded here, such a result is almost impossible. The great boilers, into which iron trams carry gross u]KUI gross of goods ready to finish, are regulated in every conceiv- able way to assure the perfect doing of their work. Every movement in tins room denotes care and vigilance, and not a little of the success of the factory is due to the thorough manner in which this department performs its important part of the work.

In one room a hundred or so girls make their lingers go as rapidly as the spindles fly in a cotton factory, every turn of the hand bringing one turn nearer to completi a water bottle, an atomizer bulb, a foot ball, nose guard or a syringe bag. Others are rolling out great long tubes of rubber into complicated catheters and still others, bring out of the dusty bin, tubing as round as a lead pencil and as smooth as a window pane. In another room more girls are busy putting together, the bottle from one room, the

which the Company is doing. The goods go to every jiart of America, and slowly but surely. South America and Mexico are learning of the merits of the "Tyrian" trade mark.

These in brief are the departments and interesting contents of the new plant of the Tyer Rubber Company. The buildings speak for themselves. From the one story boiler room to the four storied main building, they are splendid examples of the builder's skill and engineer's planning. They cover 231 feet in length on Main Street, ;M)£ feet on "Tyrian" way and average to be I'M feet deep. Red brick ami granite trimmings, with buttressed walls between the many lien* of windows make them very fortresses of business success. The outside of the Tyer plant impresses the stranger who passes, with the idea that here is a successful business, the busy office within makes bis lirst impression more posi- tive, and the walk through convinces him that "Tyrian" is the standard for rubber goods because every factor in the making of the goods behind that trade mark is alert for the l>est.

A brief word should not be withheld in this sketch, alsuit the i^WHUHji.nl some of the leading officials,' whp. l|HVe contributed each his full share to the building up of the Tver business. In the BUperinteadency of the works themselves, there lnis been for many years an Andover1 boy who has grown up in the business. Jtegiuiung as a boy An- drew McTernen passed step by step to his present position and even- part of tiie work has become familiar to him through actual experience. Another Andover boy, .hiles Duvfll Is his efficient assistant. The office force has been for many years ably directed by Frank T. Carlton, with the bookkeeping in charge of Harry H. Noyes.

One of the pleasautest features of the whole growth of the Tyer business has been the part played in it by the Andover boys and these and the others who assist them take as much satisfaction in the development of the business as do the owners themselves. Another Andover l>oy, Fred II. Jones has for many years had charge of the sidling with an of lice in Boston.

It is not fair to close this brief sketch of Andover's 30th century manufactory without a word of recognition given to the builders and workers. The general oversight of all ami cari>enter work was in the hands of Hardy iV Cole of this town, the brick and stone work was done by I,. E. Locke of Law- rence, the heating and plumbing by W. If. Welch & Co., of Andover, and the electrical equipment by the I^iw- iviice Flee. & Supply Co. Eneh of these linns has done its part in the most thorough and approved manner and there stands to their credit as builders one of tho best built factory plants to be found anywhere. One building which has escaped notice should not be passed over, for it shows one of the characteristics of the management of ihlS business where employer and employee has never had any differences. It is the long, low building in the rear, given over to the uses of the help at noon time and other recreation hours, where heat and light provide comfort

■ that is much enjoyed. *

FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, X900

A New Century Hope.

Andover now tomes Into its fourth century of life. Off with the old, on with the new ; and yet we would that not too much of the new be taken on. We demand progress and growth, and welcome them an the real life, but it is i too true that all progress does in it mean Improvement. Let the industries thrive and prosper, let the business keep on, stable and honorable, but let many of the other "marches of pro gress" confine their operations to the bit; cities and the boom towns.

Instead, what better hope for the new year and new century in Andover and for Andover, than the hope that the old days of simplicity in life, honesty in government, restfulness in the peaee and quiet of the always old fashioned environment, may contim e to abide with each and every citizen ! That the rising generation may inherit from the departing fathers that love of the best home life which Andover has always stood for ! That public official and private citizen may ever be zealous to protect the purity of all sides of out- town life, so that the nt'Xt century may still exalt as the present one does, the traditions of the founders of Old Andover.

The dawning of the 20th century was observed at St. Augustine's church by the celebration by Kev. Kr. D. .1. O'Mahouey of solemn high mass at 12 o'clock.

The Blessed Sacrament was exposed from 12 until 1 o'clock and again from 7 a. in. to 12 m. The Christinas musical program was repealed under the direction of Miss Annie G. Donovan. Peter Urennaii played violin accompaniments to the choir's selections.

About 200 took the communion at midnight, a fact which was very much out of tlie ordinary. Fr. O'Mahouey said a few words to his parishioners, complimenting them for coining at midnight to participate in the sublime sacrifice of the mass and urging them, as they were kneeling before 1 lie Divine Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, to promise to be faithful to the teachings of Christ and try to glorify his name, not only by the profession of faith but by the virtues of their daily lives.

The church was crowded and in the congregation were many of other de- nominations. The service lasted until shortly after 1 o'clock.

West Church Annual Meeting.

Street Railway Matters.

The formal terms of the grant made to the L. & H. street railway, by a majority of the selectmen, make very interesting reading. There has never been a gnu it in Andover, wherein the interests of the town appear to have been so well guarded, and where so many concessions have been made by a railway company.

We are well aware that many com- plications are yet to be overcome before the Heading cars are running on Main street, but the steps are being taken, one by one toward that end. The citizens do not want to overlook the fact that there is but one real opponent, in this tight to keep them out and that opponent is the road already enjoying the rights in the street Prop- erty interests along Main street, instead of being injured by such a plan as proposed by the selectmen, will be greatly improved, with all the provisions of the grant properly carried out. And the public at large has but one wish in the matter and that will be found at no distant day to be a most emphatic wish for justice toward the new road. We sincerely hope that the public will not let up one whit in its demand for the accommodation which the Heading road will provide through its connection at Elm square, and that the broad view of the best good to the greatest number may influence the action of every interested party.

Sj-eaking of electric railways, it is interesting to note the enthusiasm < f the Heading and Waketield pnjiers over the latest railway proposed for that section by the versatile Col. Woodward, Articles of association are already published for a line connecting at Reading with the l^awrence and Heading road, and running direct to Wakelield and thence to Lynnficld, cutting the running time nearly one half over the route now followed by the Lynn &. Boston road.

The road will run to the B. & M. station in Wakelield and this means a good deal to Andover patrons. Indi- cations are not wanting that the electric railway business is even yet in its infancy, and that Col. Woodward is to be a prominent factor in its further development in this section.

Editorial Cinders.

The citizens of Andover are proud of the success which has made it possible for tin* Tver business to grow and branch out to its present splendid di- mensions. The Townsman knows that it can express no wish which the Ami- over public will more heartily approve than to wish for Mr. Tver and his associates, thi.se in the higher places and those in the humbler work, long con- tinuance id' the prosperity ami progress such as have been given to the concern since its beginning nearly half a century ago. The story on page ;{, relating to the new factory of this successful concern, i- tin- story of a business that means a happv new year to nmiiv homes.

The gift to thief Hardy at the clam bake last Friday night was a happy IICA' year wish from a host of Andover friends, that expressed in but small measure the esteem which the public has for the official and the man. Good judgment and a deep interest in the work have made him valuable in his work as chief engineer and the town is fortunate in having him willing to give so much id his tune to work that often seems t 1 be so thankless.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the members of the West Congregational church and their friends was held in the vestry, Wednesday afternoon and evening. After the preparatory lecture at 4 o'clock, a social time was enjoyed until seven. Supper was served to about 125 persons. One hundred members of the church responded to their names at the roll call, and many letters were read from absent members.

The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted in the choice of Arthur T. Bout welt for clerk, Fred S. Boutwell for treasurer, Peter D. Smith, auditor, George Phelps and Gay ton Abbott, ushers. The clerk reported the addition of nine members during the past year, five by confession and four by letter. Nine members have been removed from the church, seven by letter to other churches, and two by death. The treasurer reported the disbursement of about $8o0 to missionary enterprises.

The event of the evening was the report of the committee which last June undertook to raise the indebtedness upon the church. Km- this, the sum of ♦W00 was needed. Mr. Fred Boutwell, as chairman of the committee, reported the receipt by voluntary subscriptions and by donations from the various church organizations of (1190. For the splendid success of this enterprise, credit is due not only to Mr. Boutwell and Mr. Wil- liam Trow, but to all the members of the church and parish who generously responded to their letter of appeal. No personal appeals were made. Kach gave freely. After the report, the pastor led in a short prayer of Thanksgiving.

In December of this year, the church will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary. The pastor, the officers of the church and two ladies to be appointed by the pastor will elect a committee to make arrangements for the suitable recognition of this notable event.

At 0.80 the meeting closed with the singing of " Praise Cod from whom all blessings flow."

New Year's Festival.

Following out the annual custom, a New Year's festival was held at the Free church vestry last Monday evening, at which were present the Sunday school scholars and a great many of the church people, so that the vestry was completely tilled. Evergreen had been used to good effect in decorating the room.

The feature of the evening was the presentation to Kev. Mr. Wilson of a calendar for the ensuing year. The calendar was very unique and will be treasured by its owner. Kach page has a quotation, verse of the Bible or a few words from the mind of nearly every one of his parishioners at the Free church, past and present, and in their own handwriting, when able. Many of the pages had to be sent a long distance before they could come back to take their place in the calendar. The various min- isters of the town also added their mites to the general greetings to the pastor of the Free church. To say that he was pleased with the gift, which was presented by Mrs. May who was the orig- inator and prime mover in getting it out, would be putting it mildly. He responded feelingly to the words of presentation by Mrs. May, expressing his thanks in unstinted measure.

An excellent program, the best for some time, was rendered as follows: Piano duett

Surprise for Chief Hardy.

Clams, succulent clams, clams on plat- ters, clams in pans, clam juice and lovers of clams and all that is clamy ; one hundred busy and hungry men making short work of disposing of the good clam sup per put before them. Such is the picture one would have seen had he ascended into the banquet hall of the Engine bouse last Friday evening about 10 o'clock to discover the meaning ot lights and the sounds of festivity coming from that quarter.

Never were better clams put before any gathering at one of the engine company's famous steamed clam suppers than those which were lurnished by the generosity of Superintendent Oeorge L. Burnbamof the town farm.. Never had the rooms at the Engine house been filled with a more representative gathering of Andover gentlemen than that present for a two-fold purpose last Fri- day night.

Nearly everybody was cognizant of what the nature of the two-fold purpose was but one man ami that one was Chief Lewis T. Hardy of the Andover tire department and he began to get an inkling that there was something besides clams on the tire when early in the evening Driver Frank M. Smith arose to speak and Driver F. E. Morse pushed into the room a handsome Morris chair. Mr. Smith rapped for Order and asked that all cease4 for a few moments, their interest in whist, pitch, cribbage, etc., as he had something to say which everybody would want to hear. He extended a cordial welcome to one and all, and said that as the gathering had come together for one purpose it was thought just as well that it be made two. He said that there was one man present who had been connected with the department for a great many years. Be- ginning as torch boy he had worked his way up until he reached the head of the department, where he now stands "I refer to Lewis T. Hardy, gentlemen, who has been chief of this department for l;i years, or will have been hy next May. In behaif of those here tonight and in behalf of the members of the company, allow me to present you, Mr. Hardy, with this chair, in which it is hoped that you will find comfort when

, you reach home after a hard day's work j or tired out after having responded to j the imperative summons of the tire alarm."

I The chief was considerably moved by j the unexpectedness of the gift and at j the token of esteem from his associates J and fellow townsmen. He said that he

was no speech maker and the surprise I had taken from him the ability to say ! anything in response. He could only I ask that they accept his thanks.

Selectman .John S. Stark was next called upon. He responded by a few words in which he expressed his pleasure at being one of the large gathering present to do honor to thief Hardy. Mr. Stark said that he had served with Mr. Hardy on the tire department and had also had the honor to have appointed Mr. Hardy as chief, having regularly signed his warrant for the last twelve years. He sahl that Mr. Hatdy was the right man for the place and hoped that lie would be chief as long as he wished to be.

The men gathered early at the house and the card tables were soon surrounded by a jolly crowd of players. When the clams were announced as

j ready to be interviewed, cards were I dropped for a season only to be resumed \ when the men came down stairs again,

accepting on the way one of the excellent cigars which were provided. Every-

j body "smoked up" and played cards un- ! til a late hour, some lingering until the . lights went out and exit must be made i in the darkness. This clam bake was

considered one of the best that was ever held at the engine house. As usual the tire laddies looked after the comfort and amusement of their guests in fine shapea

During the evening Austin F. Hitch- cock played several selections on the piano.

The committee from the engine company on the clam bake and gift for Mr. Hardy, consisted of George Dunnells, Frank K. Mores, and William Pea.

A Novel Luncheon.

One of the daintiest and most novel luncheons that could be possible was given to the ladies of the Recreation club, by Mrs. Frank V. Glesson at her home on High street New Year's afternoon.

The occasion took the form of a progressive luncheon, the several changes bringing a mix up of the sixteen ladies that made sociability assured. The menu was attractive not only for the dainties which were served, but for a story of the club in verse, in which each member was Introduced.

Though, there may be a doubt whether the meeting of the November club on the afternoon of December ;tl should be regarded as a premature wake at the death of the old century or a celebration of the birth of the new, there certainly can be no doubt of Hie success of the meeting.

The subject was announced as "Some Famous Women of the Nineteenth Cen- tury." Four papers covered the period* each treating a different quarter of the century. The subjects were "Theodoili Burr," by Mrs. S. M. II. Gardner; Mary Lyon," written by Mrs. V, Palmer and read by Miss Alice Buck; "Dorothea Dix," by Mrs. Tarbox ; and "A Survey of the Noted Women of the Last Twenty- five Years," by Mrs. Carter. The papers were not only instructive but entertain- big, a combination not always attained and the audience was especially grateful for all absence of reference to the hack- neyed discussion on the Century tJueg- tiou or the New Woman.

In addition to the literary part of the program there was much enjoyable music, all selected with reference to the main idea of the meeting. Particularly interesting from this point of view were the old ballads Sung by Miss Carter and Miss Merrill and the war-songs of Mr Newton. The meeting closed with car- rolssung by the boys of Christ ( Lurch choir.

The ladies who took part in the program were dressed in costumes which illustrated the fashions of the periods treated by the various papers. The stage, also, showed tlie changing fashion* of the century. The room representing the first half of the century, papered with old-time bouquet design ami tilled with dignified old chairs and tables, with its eight day clock and many candles, must have raised envious longings in many a collector of old furniture, while the draped tlags of the war period ami the modern parlor represented were each attractive in its way.

There was an opportunity offend throughout the program to make a most interesting comparison between the customs and thought of the earlier pails of the century with those of the present day; to note what had dropped out and passed away and what had remained. While the present return to early century styles in the matter of dress and furniture collections may be regarded as a passing fad, one cannot but feel that the ideals of the early century heroines were essentially the same as those held by the women of today; that those qua]. ities which ennobled them and raised them above the common herd are still striven for. AH/ this the meeting of the club brought out and therefore may be considered not only as an account of noble women of the past but as a proof that there are such now ami an earnest desire for more to come.

Two lives have just ended which were note won by in their relation to one another and to this town—those of Miss Mary K. Northey, and her sister, Mrs. Sarah .V Marland. For nearly tifty years they had lived together and by themselves in the cottage on the corner of Central and chestnut streets. Their father was Captain Abijah Northey, one of that former generation of Saleiu sea- captains who combined intelligeiKe and cultivation with business and travel. Miss Northey had been all her life much of an invalid, and had been watched over and cared for by her younger and more vigorous sister. Mrs. Marland was one year, lacking six days, the younger, and during those six days in the year she used to say to her sister, "Now I'm as old as you." Throughout last summer the two old ladies grew more and more feeble, till it became plain that the end for them was approaching. It had always been Mrs. Marland's fear that she might die first, for then there would be no one to watch over her sister as she had done. At last, on Friday of last week, tue end came for Miss Northey.

Mrs. Marland was not 4.0UI of her sister's death, but she seemed to suspect it. Her mind wandered; she called her sister by name, reached out her arms to her and on Sunday quietly fell asleep. Tbey belonged to the nineteenth century and they went out with it; and after having lived for almost half of it together, tbey were separated by only two days. Miss Northey was 88 years and » months old, and Mrs. Marland s" years, iUnonths. "in is;i."i, Mrs. Marland married Will-

iam S. Marland, a son of Abraham Mar- land, who came to Amlover from Eng- land in 18(H). Abraham Marland estab tinned a mill in Amlover for cleaning and carding wool, which he then had spun ami woven by the farmers. He afterwards drove to Huston with the cloth for sale. From this beginning he built up the nourishing business which is now carried on by the Stevens in Marland Village. His first child was born in 1800, and his last, Mrs. Franklin Darracott, died in the last month of 1900. He was prominent in establishing Christ church Parish here, and in contributing to the building of the church. He presented to the Parish the present rectory. William S. Marland planted the row of elms in front of the church and rectory. He died in IS47, before his father.

Mrs. William S. Marland had a genius for kindliness. In the earlier years of her married life, when tjrained nurses were almost unknown, the community looked to her for assistance in sickness, and site went from house to house giving her experience and her loving ministrations. Two large lilac trees grew beside her front door. In spring the children came so constantly asking for a bunch of lilacs that it became an annoyance. But it was easier to cut the trees down than to say "No" to the children, and so the trees disappeared. During the Civil war, when two of her sons were in the army, the was active in carrying on the work at home by which the soldiers were supplied with comforts.

I She was treasurer of the Soldiers' Aid society, and, together with Mrs. Peter Smith and Mrs. David Gray,did the buying for the society and marked out its plan for work. She retained to the last her dignity, her sweetness, her courtesy of manner. Many a passer-by will miss her white cap from the window and her pleasant greeting.

She leaves four children—Maj. Will- iam Marland of School street, Andover! Abraham Marland, town clerk; Charles Marland, station agent at Hallardvale; and Mrs. (Jeorge H. Poor of Main street, Amlover. A daughter, Mary S. Marland, died in 1878.

On Sunday, private services were con ducted at the house by the ltev. Frederic Palmer for the late Miss Northey and the body was afterwards taken to Salem to be laid to rest in the tomb of her an- cestors. Services for the late Mrs. Mar- land were held Wednesday at 1,90 o'clock in Christ church, Rev, Frederic Palmer officiating. Burial was.in the Episcopal cemetery.

The Crescent Athletic club, a new organization occupying quarters in one of Hardy ft Cole's buildings on Pearson street, blossomed into the public eye with a grand athletic exhibition last Saturday evening. Nearly ISO young men, some decidedly young, foregath- ered there, having paid the required admission fee. which was small.

The first feature of the program was a boxing match between Pat Boyle of this place and a young "bruiser" from Law- rence. One or two good red hot rounds had "been fought, and the young patrons of the sport who were sitting packed in like sardines around the ring pitched in the centre, were beginning to get their money's worth. Alas! when another round would have settled the question of supremacy beyond the shadow of a doubt, 'twas not to be. The advent of Chief Frye during the progress of the round was looked upon with suspicion and his peremptory orders that the "scrapping" must cease was agreed to from necessity.

The program was finished out with songs, dances and other like tame amusements to the chagrin of both management ami spectators.

Dr. John C. Bowker of U.U city was t'he lecturer in the White Fund course which took piace at city hall Wednes- day evening. The spectacle in and about city hail was the same as on all previous occasions wnen tnls delightful anJ pleasing talker has been announced. Long before 7.45 o'clock the hall had been flilea to the doors with an eager ami expectant audience, .tine doors had been closed, and hundreds of disappointed citizens were turned away, unable to gain entrance to tne auditorium.

The White Fund course Id a remarkable one—one of the strongest In tne country—and unaer the management of former Mayor James H. Eaton, has become very famous.

The lecturer was Introduced by Mr. Eaton and for over an hour, a d llg.it- ed audience listened M Dr. Bewker apeak on ihe Paris Exposition, and gazed with keen enjoyment, up n a raie collection of stereoptitfun views which. with few exceptions, were taken and colored by the tourist, himse.f. 'the views were, for the most p^rt, pictures of different portions of the exposition which have not previously appear d In magazines ur eisewheie. Some of the views were most strlk n^, particularly those of the illumination of the River Seine, the electrical fountain. Chateau d'Eau, and the palace of glass, the la-t, being probably the m st beautiful of all. In short, the audience was take-n through the most Interesting portion of fhe exposition, the odd people and their customs were described, many amusing anecdotes were told in the doctor's characteristic style and the lecture wis brought to a cl ise with a view from the Eiffel tower.

The exposition, said- the lecturer, 1- not to be "c implied" with the World's with it. financial rtsults of the Paris Expos;-

In speaking of the uns itisfa ^toiy tion. Dr. Bowker said substantially: "Although the affair was a financial failure, It was a mi st pronounce I artl-- tfc success. The financial failure was the result of the rude things which France said of England at the outbreik of the Boer war. Thf g eat paying public of England resented them, and refused to go to the exposition.

Dr. Bowker very beautifully described his first vision of the fair and the location of the SHOW, in the fo'low- Ing words: "My first vision of the ex-

| position was at sunset one night, in midsummer, when etalted temperatures had cast a troo'oal languor over Parl = and the goree us mantle of departing day was flung" in glorious splendor aeafnst the sky a<= If to dazzle the lirlc-ht eye of advin ine ni<?' t.

Ktddy was a goou-i.atuied, ra»<- boneu Vermont xaiiit.ee, an . tne buu of all our Jokes. we we.e ever pesurin* him wan ah manner of practical joke* but, tor t'ne rawi part, 'he took -them good-natuitdiy. Occasionttly, however, we would tease htm beyond! all bounds of reason, and tnen he was very h..,era. with threats of wnat he wou>a uo. Oa such occasions, he generally would scold away, and wind up with "lou Just wait 'till I get mad."

He had come to Lawrence about a year before, an.I, looking anywhere t*Jt work, had applied, hat In hand, to tbe "Super." Tne "Super" had bandied him over to the charge of the boss of the weavers. The new hand, as I have said before, was a country lad, and slow to learn, so that, after two weeks had passed, and he had not got the "knack", the boss, to Reddry's disappointment had told him that he "wouldn't do." Liking the honest appearance of the lad, however, he recommended him to the engineer, and the next Monday morning found Reddy Installed in his new place, In the bol er room.

Those two weeks had given Reddy a taste of weaving, and his sole ambition now, was to be a weaver. Day after day, when a spare moment came, and he was" momentarily re'eased from work In our room, Instead of lounging about with t'he rest of us. he watched the weavers, learning a little here, and a little there, until he began to have hopes of going back to weaving. One day, when a rush order came In, one of the weavers was hurt, and Reddy to :k the place, and hel ' it for the rest of tê week, to his great delip'h*. Then, to complete his hipnlness. the bifs pr m- [sedi him the next vacancy.

So things went along, for perhap* a month. Reddy wa- happy an 1 Joyou;, but one morning he seemed especially so. "Well, boys, I go to weivlng Mon- day, so today's the last day I'll be with you." Poor fellow, it was.

Pome-times, when all the machinery was In motion, t'he mill would shak\ but the most of us thought nothing or It. Some few, wiseacres, though, had Pttook their 'beads, and told us that th1

Pemberton wasn't eife. One crabbed old "know-lt-all," as we termeti him, every day toldi us the same story, how

I t'he mill would fall, some day. But as | time wore on, and nothing happened

we only laughed, and when anything I doubtful was hear1, we Invarrablv : would reply "Bet old Plimpton said I that." i During the day, Reddy had been

working, happily, faiinfully as ever. , "Teke," he said to me, "I wish you were a weaver, too." Then came disappointment to him. Just as t'he paying off

! had commenced, and we were getting ready to haul out the flres. the b.ss came down to the door, and said to Reddy, "Sorry, but we're kind o' slick, and I won't need'you for the weaving." and went out. Reddy tu ned pa'e, but

1 not a word did he say as he .turned [ around, and continued his work.

The weavers had been paid, andi we , were getting ready to go and get our

pay. Reddy was silently putting on j r.ls coat, wthen suddenly a Jarring, a

crashing sound, a scream, .then i How long I laid unconscious I can't I say, but. I remember first a smell of I smoke, and then I recovered. I could

not realize what had happened. I was I in darkness and silence. I tri^d to rise. j but could not, being pinned down by

fallen timbers. A sharp pain In my I left leg. I felt, but elsewhere I was numb, the only eensation being that < f

I a great weight on me. I could now see more distinctly. I was In a small open space, left by debris.

I realized now, that the ml 1 hat fallen, and I was in the ruins. 1 made another desperate effort to free myself, but t'he timbers held me down, and giving up hope for a time, lapsed inio a state of semi-consciousness.

Suddenly a fit of coughing routed m\ The small space was full of snvKe again, and I could see a faint glow. Fire! Great Heavens! Am I to be slowly burned to death—die inch by Inch?

Hark! What's that? Through tne crackling of the approaching flames comes a sound of singing. Singing! Wtoat for? And here, helpless, I'm dying like a dog. Young voices, too. Oh! That smoke. The singing, again. Per- haps they are dying, too. Yes, held by tihe fallen ruins, with the Are, started by careless use of a rescuer's lantern, coming to them, with Death riding with It. about to claim them, they are past- ing the last few moments of life In eong.

What Is this heat? That fire, asa!n. Nearer, too. Why didn't I heed old Plimpton? I ought to have known It! Ot, If death will only come suddenly, and not to torture me. I—Heavens, whit smoke. I'm strangling! What's thie? Through the smoke and steam, by t'he brightening glow of the fire. I can eee a human form. Ye?, he's t;l-

Headache for forty Years. For forty years I Buffered from sick head-

ache. A year ago I began using Celery King. The result was gratifying and surprising, my headache* leaving at once. The headaches used to return every seventh day, but thanks to Celery King, I have bad but one beadacbe In tbe last eleven months. I know that what cured me will hel pot hers.—Mrs. John D, Van Keuren.Haugertles, N. Y.

ing to save me. B.ood is pouring fro n a cruel wounu In his he^d. It'* Reddy!

"Wake up," he's saying. "Wake U.J and come with me." *

The timber Is cut away, and I attempted to rise, but fa.l back. "I can't, Re-.dy," I cried. "Save yourself."

For answer he lifted me in his strong arn •*. and staggered across t'he narrow vault, and laid me down, wnlle with teemlngiy superhuman strength, he pulled away the fallen timbers, cearlnj a way of escape. The fire Is near again, and xieddy, holding me with one arm, ascends the almost perpendicular sides of the vault. With my arm* I cling on to a timber, with Redrjiy 'trying to cl-ar a way of escape, and the hungry fire beneath

Through the openln^ growing wiuer, I saw a scene of difiolation. It was dark, but the ruins were lit up by the hungry flames, and here and there were a few brave m<-n, battling for the life of some unfortunate, or comforting the dying one. I heard voices egaln. They were singing yet. There were fewer— the sounds were fainter.

'•Jesus, lover of my soul." Nearby was a group of men. I tried

to shout, but could not. One of the men was kneeling, beside a young gl.l who was caught hopelessly in the ruins. ' "Write to my mother," she was saying. giving 'her name, "and tell her I wasn't airald to cMe. Tell her m« savings are in the bank, whete stfie can get them. The Are Is almost here. I must die. Ciood-by." A clasp of (hands, and th = men left the terrible scene.

A rush of heat, and my strength w^s leaving me. I lost my hold, and would have fallen but that a pair of strong arms lifted me, as before, and I was carried out. Reddy had made an opening, and canled me out. The line of fire was near. Reddy tightened his grasp on me, and started to run. We went through the scorching flames, then Reddy fell, and I was thrown onto a projecting timber. Reddy was sense- less.

All now was si'ence. but for the crackling of the flames—and—-still the song. Onlv one voice s'nglng

"If. where they led my Lord, I too am borne,

Planting my steps In His Weary and worn;

May the path carry me, Nearer, n y-God to thee.

Nearer, my God, to tnee; Nearer to t'hee."

SudhJenly Reddy started up, s ruggled to his feet, picked me up and started again. He went down agajn, but staggered along, till down he went again, but still he struggled desperately along Then we fell, together. Into a h< le. In the ruins.

The next I knew my face was being bathed by kind hands. The s'nging had ceased, and an awful stillness reigned. I was raised by friendly arms, and looked about me. The Are had done Its work, and all about was darkness, save for a email lantern, which shone its feeble rays on the sympathetic faces of several men. Thev were watching someone. It was Red- dy, his head supported bv a nurs<v Blood was flowing from the wound. He was c"ying.

By his side, kneeling, was t*e bos-, his eves molsfened< bv tears. "R^dv," he was saying, "you're a weaver now. W-ban wIM you go tn work?"

"Im afra'd—sir.—I—wm'dnt do."

Mrs. Victor Lemay of 40 Union street was found dead In her b.ed shortly after midnight Tuesday morning. Death tiiuti nave irwttQ Quite eudden, as her husband was talking with her about a half hour before. But she had been ill for several weeks from causes incident to childbirth. Medical Examiner Howe of Lawrence was called to view the body and pronounced death duetto natural causes. Mrs. Lemay was about 45 years of age and leaver her husband andi four children to mourn her death.

The officials of the Lawrence and Methuen street railroad have been granted until June 1, 1901, in which to complete their railway in this town. Their time limit expires Dec. 31, 1900. The selectmen considered that the officials had pushed the construction of the road as rapidly as possible under the circumstances, and for this reason decided to extend the time. It is rumorel that an agreement between the L. L. & H. company and the Lawrence and Methuen company regarding the use of each other's tracks between Center Btreet and Oakland avenue on Broad- way has been arrived at; but the selectmen have not yet been notified of It, nor on the terms of the agreement yet made known.

The Methuen Hlg*h Schorl Alumni association held Us annual midwinter ie- unlon Monday evening In Nevlns Me- morial hall. The attendance was tome* what smaller than usual. About 75 were present. Preceding the dancing a program including selections from -the orchestra and readings from southern authors and plantation melodies by Miss Annie Blalock < f the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston. Miss Bla- lock made a very favorable Impression. Following the entertainment dancing was enjoyed until midnight. Refresh- ments were served during the evening In the basement. The affair proved very enjoyable to those present. The executive committee who made the arrangements Is composed of Mitchell ,'ohnson. Herbert Gordon. Mi?a Avis Poster, Miss Mabel L. Pelrce, Miss Mer- tlna Goldsmith. Miss Annie Splcer and Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Bars tow.

Calm and clear the moon.tght flooded the sleeping city m Monday evening. The lofty spire of St. Mary's cast » Jong, Lark shadow which deepened as the hours crept on apace. In many churches the warm glow In the windows showed that there were gathered within worshippers who were commem- orating the dawn of a new century, fraught with good or ill to so many human hearts all over the world. At 11.45 the chimes on St. Mary's sounded with their sLv,ern tongues the approach of the midnight hour, when the world would cross the century line, and enter a new era. Light was streaming from the great edifice and hundreds of worshippers were hurrying in through Its Gothic portals. The organ pealed forth triumphant music, and mingled with the Joyous clamor of the bells above, was wafted over the city through the crisp night air, proclaim; lng that great event, the birth of One' Twentieth century. In many churches the congregations on bended knee listened to the striking of the midnight hour. In the solemn hush of that midnight prayer, the new century wa.» born.

Suddenly as If all the fiends of tht outer darkness weie hurling themselves- in hate against the sacred edifices, there burst upon the solemn calm, the wild shrieks of a syren whistle, mlngtlej with the frozen clang of many bells. The spell was broken and the deep religious sentiment of the hour was changed as in the twinkling of an eye. It was a descent from the gran i sublime to the ridiculous. The transition from the grand tuneful harmony of sweet-voiced bells, to the clamor of the

I whistles and flte alarm, was not an agreeable one. Pandemonium reigned, and the religious character of the ob- servances was lost in the tuneless Jan- gle of the bells mingled with the wail of the syren which sounded like the cry of the banshee. Even while the devout were on their knees In prayer, it was as If the city were plunged Into tiie mad and riotous tumult of a Fourth of July celebration.

Never was a New Year more generally ushere 1 in by devout Christians than that which marked the dawn of the 20th century. In all the Catholic churches solemn high mass was said In accordance with the decree of Pope Leo. In many Protestant churches, watch-night services were held. .

ANNUAL ROLLCALL. The annual roll call of the Baptist

church was held in the Baptist vestry Tuesday night. A social hour from 6 to 1 o'clock was spent, in which the members of the church had an opportunity to meet one another in a social way. Shortly after seven o'clock a supper was served. Following the supper the church roll was called by the clerk, James Pierce, and 92 responded. Letter* were read from several members who are out of town and unable to be present Eight names have been dropped from the roll since last year, elx because of death and two by removal from town. After the roll call address- es were made by Dr. Spauldlng of Bos- ton William Chase of Newton Theolog- ical seminary, son of Rev. S. L. B. Chase a former pastor of the church, and Rev Mr. House, a former pastor. Dr Spafldlng's address was an ab.e one, and closely followed. Rev. Mr House's talk wai of more than usual Interest, as he related many-Incidents which occurred during his paftorate n the church. He began his pastorate n the local church in 1ST6, remaining six and one-half years. Mr. Chaje was the last «neaker. Being the son of a former pasto? n,l being himself well known by the members, his talk was very In- teresting. The meeting broke up at about 9.30 o'clock. .

THE REAL THINK.

At a certain review recently pompous member of ,PfAlmcnt himself on the outskirts of ■ cr™vd Being anxious to obtain a go M view for himself and some ladies wVo accompanied him. and presuming he was well known, he tapped a bu.ley cockney who was taking a day off. on Se "holder and said in a peremptory tone. "Make Way There.

"Who are yer pushin cockney. ^ M UA T Qm ^)p,„ g&u

Consider now the man who fixes his own furnace.

Verily, he maketh a terminal facili- ty of his own neck.

For that Is where he getteth it. And behold, he Is it. He listeneth with scorn to the sug-

gestion of the wife of his bosom that he hire a man to fix the furnace.

Yes, he sayeth unto her: "Nay, not on your existence. Verily, I will not further enrich this nation of fixers of things, but will even show you what I am.

"That I am an all-round handy man." He laketh unto himself the hammer

and the shovel. And a wise expression. And the broken screw-driver and the

monkey wrench and the putty-knife and the saw, and many other things.

Surely, he oarrleth more tools than a corn doctor.

And he goeth Into the cellar and bumpeth his head against the joists.

Whereupon the sound of his cursing Is heard above the rattle of the g«s meter.

And he droppeth his tools about his feet and ilifteth up his voice In lamen- tation.

He declareth that the top of his head Is torn away, even the entire top thereof.

He calleth unto his wife that she may come unto him, that she may see thu; he hath brains within his head.

But she cometh not. For she hath gone unto the bargain

sale, whereat she may pay 49 shekels for something she wanteth not.

But which Is marked down from 50 shekels.

And the man gathereth up his tools and goeth unto the furnace.

He openeth the door thereof, and put- teth his head upon the inside, and ex- clalmeth:

"Lo! Is is even as I said It was." Now, behold the wind of his breath

Mo wet h the ashes on high so that they fill his hair.

Likewise his eyes and his nostrils. He openeth his mouth to swear, and

the ashes and cinders fill him, so that he cougheth.

Whereat he recelveth more ashes. And he bumpeth his ear upon the fur-

nace In his haste to take his head from out thereof.

Then he sltteth upon the floor of the cellar and breaketh forth ashes and curses in great volume.

Yet again he beglnneth his task. He shoveleth out the ashes and cut

teth his finger against the firebox, and secureth many streaks and stripes up on his garments.

He maketh a fire In the furnace, and the smoke arlseth and fUleth the house

And his wife cometh home, bearing in her arms many bundles, and In her purse much nothing.

She seeth the smoke and calleth un- to him, and w'hen he rlseth to go unto her he Talleth Into a tub.

And he getteth unto his feet and throweth the shovel ami the hammer and the wrench and all the tools over against the furnace.

Then he mounteth the cellar steps, and when his wife gazeth upon him she ralseth her hands.

And her voice, And yelleth:— "Why, JohnhenryJ nee! Why, John

henryjones!" For that is his name. And he sayeth nothing, except to bee

for arnica and plaster and strong drink.

And she hireth the rook's brother to fix the furnace.

And the cook's brother turneth th>> damper aright and charges $3.

Rut the man sayeth unto himself: "Verily there he thr*e kinds of fools—

the fool, the big fool and the bad-word foot.

"And lo. I am all three." Verily It Is so. even as U is written. Yes, verily, yes Indeed.—Josh Wink.

MISS EMMA BCGliEE—the w.n- ner of the second prize Is the daughter of the late Professor and Mrs. Edwin H. Bugbee. Sne was born 12 years ago In Shippensburg, I'cnn., where her father was principal uf the state normafl school. She began to attend the public school when six years of age at Port Jer- vis, N. Y., where her father was principal of the High school. The father died two years ago, and In August, ';•:«. Miss Bugbee's mother With the rest of the family removed to Methuen, when Miss Emma entered the Methuen schools. Mrs. Bugbee is a teacher in the Methuen schools. Miss Emma is a bright pupil in all her studies. This essay is practically the first she ever wrote as compositions have not been required of her In her school work.

Miss Bugbee won $7 worth of books to be selected at the Boston store. She chose the* following: Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable; Homes of Good Men and Great; and Homes of American Au- thors, by Hubbard; complete poeti- cal works of Whlttier, Longfellow and Emerson and Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. "Mary, you and Jimmie go over tJ

Mrs. Simpson's ana ask her to lend me her big Iron kettle. I want to cook some pumpkins tomorrow and my kettle is broken." Mrs. Collins stodd at the back door and said this to her llttie daughter playing under the oak trees. "Alii right, ma. Want me to go now?" And Mary came running up tne. path to her mother.

"Yes, go Just as soon as possible and hurry, too. 1 think you can bring the kettle back if Jimmie goes with you. Jimmie! Come here!"

At this her twelve-year-old son came up from the field and his sister quickly tol t him of their errand.

"My, but we will! have to hurry," he excuaimeo; "it's getting dark and Silai thinks there are Indians around here; he says the horses acted queerly this morning, out in the field, and 1 tell you those horses know, too."

Mary had by this time got her cloak and hat and the two started on the walk to their neighbor's, haJf a mite away.

"You don't think the Indians will see us, do you Jimmie?" askea the girl anxiously, as they entered the deep wooiJs beyond their father's clearing.

"No, not if we hurry and don't talk much. Those Indians are not likely Lo be around In the daytime, but l_pity anyone who has to come through here after dark. But never mind, Mary, I'll protect you." The boy spoke bravely, but he hardly knew whether he believed himself or not.

They reached Mrs. Simpson's, received the kettle, and were about to start for home when Pete, Mrs. Simpson's oldest son, came hurrying up to the house.

"Walt a minute, children!" he cried, and then as he reached them said; "Hadn't you better stay here tonight? I'ncle Ho.-es says he saw smoke abou*. two miles from heie and other signs of Indians when he was coming from An- dover this morning. It's getting so • ark that I wouJdn't want to go through those woods myself without a musket, and what coulu you two children do to protect yourselves against an Indian? There are evidently Indi- ans on the warpath near here."

"I ain't afraid," said Jimmie. bravely, "the Indians may shoot me, but they shan't get Mary. I won't let 'em." "Well if you hurry you may reach home safe enough," said Pete as he gazed anxiously at the man'ly little rellow.

They started f.,r home and Pete went with them through the deepest part of the woods, then he turnej about and walked towards home.

The children hurried on, casting frightened and nervous glances right and left for a sign of the lurking foe.

suddenly, as they were about in sight of home and had begun to hope that they woul i reach there in safety, a big bush on their Heft rustled and ciacked, and w ithout warning a big Indian stood before them grinning at their fright.

Mary .-creamed and started to run but the Indian caught and held her fast. Jimmie was so startled that he forgot to run and stood trembling before their mighty captor. Soon two more warriors rushed from the woods and both children were securely bound and hurried away to a large camp.

There were about two hundred In- dians seated in a circle around several large camp fires when the children reached there. They seemed pleased with their comrade?' prizes, anl several s<juaws tried to make the children comfortable but they failed. Jimmie and Mary were to forlorn and scared to eat or drink and soon the squaws left them saying in digust. "Pale face cry; better not; Pashemet get angry."

The children sat trembling as they found out into whose hands they hail fallen, for Pashemet was a household name of terror in that neighborhood.

But they looked at the Indians in- tently and soon had a fair idea of their cruel captors' plans.

The Indians had been talking long and loud and now they stood up and solemnly began to dance.

"By the red sun's parting gilance They gathered for the warriors' dance First in circle wide they stand, Each with an arrow In his hand; Then crouching, and with bended bow They step to measure lignt and slow ; Now quicker with a savage flurry, They circle round and hurry, hurry; Now the ring breaks, and leasing,

yelling. In one discordant chorus swelling; Then tomahawks are brandished

high; Their shouts re-echo from the sky; Their blood-stained nostriUs opened

w lde, Their foaming lips all dark and gory, Make up the red man's scene of

glory."

Then Pashemet. the chief, waJked in- to the centre of the ring, with his red and yellow paint, a large number of red feathers in his hair and a robe of deerskin, embroidered with wampum, he presented a terrible appearance as, he began to chant a war song, then he said in a loud voice:

"Red men of the tribe of the Merrl- mae, clan of the red bird, we have assembled here to decide a mighty and perplexing question, it is this: 'What shall we do with the pale face?* War- riors and red men. we must have pale faces scalps, our people have many, but we must have more. The white man has taken our hunting grounds and cut ''own our big trees. He scares the Ke- 'naw (war eagile). from the tree top?: the W'a Wa (wild goose) from our marsh lands and the Ahdeek (deer) from our forest lands. The red man must be avenged. Go. brave warriors, go i-eize the scalps of the white man at the Laughing Brook, where theie houses arc many.'.'

Then Pashemet, told of the bloody deeds of his warriors and of the wrongs his people had suffere I at the hands of the white man.

Jimmie and Mary, greatly interested in watching the preparation of the In- cians as they were starting on their Journey, the purpose of which was to massacre all the Inhabitants of the 4it- tle settlement of Laughing Broo.

hard day's work In the field, saw a thin column of gray smoke arising from the woods a short distance from his house. All too well did he know what that meant. Inoians were on the warpath!

Hurrying up to the house he found Mrs. Collllns in distress. "I sent Marj and Jimmie over to Mrs. Simpsons to borrow her iron kettle about three hours ago and they have not returned yet. I can't imagine what Has happened to them."

"I can," exclaimed Mr. Collins, "there are Indians near here, I am almost j=ure who will do us no good, and very likely they have seen the children and carried them off. I will go get help and try to recover them. Perhaps you had better go to the fort and stay there."

The "fort" was a large hollow in the ?ide of the hill nearby, which Mr. Col- lins, forser-ing a situation like the one they were now in, had fitted up and made inhabitable. There were hay and dried leaves o'ri the ground and in the rear was a large pile of leaves, covered with blankets for a bed. The entrance was screened by several large bushes and a big rock, while the top waeAiver- grown with vines and busheF.

Mr, Oullins caught up a baby and started off for the cave; Mrs. Colllna followed with the other chihlren and fume food.

"I think the Indians intend to attack the settlement," he said thoughtfully, "and I will go tell the families near here to be prepared, then I am going to get Moses and Silas and a few others and track tho?e red skins to recover, if piissib'.e, our children. I may bs gone for a long time, but I think you had better 5tay here until you are sure that there is no danger. I think. Very likely the Indians wiltl move down the river up<m Haverhill and Merrlmae after attacking the people here. I am going now. Good-by!"

He strode off and was soon lost to sight in the fore?t. Mrs. Collins looked sober, hut she was a true pioneer'*- wife and dll not murmur as off he j started on his perilous mission.

An hour passed, the sun nad Just set, I when a stealthy step was heard nearby. I Peering from her hiding place Mrs. CotHlna could ree that there were about a dozen Indians standing near the cave. I

I They were pointing toward the house, and Mrs. Collins could see that they . were planning an assault. Soon thej I rushed to the house and with many a savage warwhoop entered it.

They were surprised to find no one at home, but their object was to do as

much harm as possible, and with shouts and mad leaping to and fro, the Indi- ans applied the torch and . the little home was burned to the ground.

Meanwhile Mr. Collins hurried to the nearest house and warned the family of their danger. One man went with him to the next house, where another man followed, and so on until he had quite a band. Many a happy family had cause to thank Mr. Collins fur the warning, for that night a large band of Indians swooped aown upon the unprotected houses and massacred nearly every one.

This was the last time the Indians troubled the white settlers In Methuen, and soon after they left the town ani retreated to the forests of New Hamp- shire and Maine.

Hut that night a white man was on the warpath, too, and he meant to ac- complish something worth whfcle. Mr, Mr. Collins felt that the Indians needed a lesson and he intended to give it to them. With^his little company he followed the track of the Indians for many a mile until he reached a small party l^ft to guard the prisoners at the camp. The red men were on the point of quarreling over their little charges, and thus were unprepared for an attack. They had Jumped up and were about to throw themseflves upon each other, when bang! bang! went a musket from the woods, and one lively red man was no more. Bang! bang! went the muskets again, and those Imlians who were not killed- fled, leaving tomahawks, bows, arrows and most important, the prisoners.

The little ones had given up all hope of seeing home again and were prepared to be adopted by Pashemet. as they were toild they were to be. Worn out with crying and dispair, they had fallen asleep on some blankets, when they awoke to find their captors gone. and their father bending over them.

Too great was the father's Joy at seeing his children again to wish to follow the Indians farther, and the happy party turned toward home.

What a Joyous meeting there was! True, there little home was in ashes. but they were afll alive and well. A new home could soon be built, and unti! then, many a family would welcome this one into their own house.

The massacre at Bloody Brook, as U was afterwards called, is now almost forgotten and no particulars are known, but the fact remains that such a massacre did occur In the eastern part of Methuen many years ago, where now signs of busy life and civilisation are seen on every hand.

Stick-to-it-iveness 1'-"^""" Never-let-up-iveness IN UNADULTERATED HONOR.

It is easy to hustle when carried along with the crowd on a tidal wave of everybody's prosperity, and it is easy to be honest when honesty best serves our selrish desires, but it is the stick-to-it-iveness that hustles when others are discouraged and the never-let-up-iveness that does right at all times — because it is RIGHT that wins, The man who boasts of his honor to win patronage, promising to right any wrong that may occur in his business transactions, and then squirms because it costs him a dollar to keep that promise, "gets it in the neck." He thus destroys the very thing he most needs in his business, namely: The unshaken confidence of the purchasing public.

Mr. Elias II. Marston, principal of the Phillips school in Boston, has done much toward discouraging the use of tobacco among^his pupils. After a recent lecture on this subject a committee from the senior class called on him, ami sir.wing a paper signed by every member of the class promising to abstain from use of tobacco, asked and got permission to form a league. The Phillips Ani i-Tobacco League was speedily formed and now numbers 2H4.

DANIEL WEBSTER said the most inspiring words ever spoken to

him came from a farmer, after his greatest speech: "You never did your best yet!" This didn't mean that Webster was weak; it meant that he had never used the power that was in him. When we criticize your coffee we don't mean that it is weak. We mean that you are not getting the power that is in coffee. You won't realize this until you try a single cup of Chase' & San- bom's Seal Brand Coffee. Then you'll know this unused power.

LITTLE STOKIES.

One of the many stories going the rounds of Germany about the crown prince's childhood has almost become a household word with his future subjects, eo frequently has it been told In nurseries. Nothing afforded the young heir, as a youngster of 6 or 7, greater pleasure than to watch the sentries salute as he passed in or out of the castle at Potsdam., and the pour soldiers were kept at it from morning till night. This delight was equalled onily by his aver- sion to water, and the poor woman who was charged with his toilet aver- ted that he lay awake nights devising a means to escape the cold morning bath.

One day the child rushed in upon the emperor and the empress as they sa*. at breakfast with a furious complaint against the sentiy who had neglected to salute him as usual that morning. Tne.empreror drew his son closer to him. examined him curiously and tiien replied:

"I don't wonder my son, the poor sentinel did not recognize the crown prince In this dirty-faced Qlttle boy, eo I cannot have him reprimanded."

It was the last time the prince ever refused to have his face washed.—Col- lier's Weekly.

Sometimes the second teeth arc ex- ceedingly slow in appearing, due to a lack of bone-making material In the system. In such cases phosphate ••f lime Is prescribed. Ten cent's worth of the powder kept in a salt shaker by the child's plate, and a tiny bit each meal sprinkled over the potato nr bread and butter, will do much to bring the delinquent members along. As the powder is perfectly tasteless, no serious objections can be offered by even the habitual "kicker."

It Is said that children fed on canned condensed milk are peculiarly suscep- tible to rickets. "Bottle babies" aie usually large and fleshy, but lack en- durance and resistance .to disease. Such children do not get their teeth as early as those fe I on mother's milk.

IN PARIS SLUMS. What the M.A11 Mission la Doing There,

and Xta At dovrr Auxiliary.

Some of us remember the newspaper accounts in 1871 ol the dreadful day a of the Commune in Paris, how buildings were burned, public monuments de- stroyed and the Archbishop and many priests murdered; ami how equally ruth- less were the national troops when they entered the city, shooting down men, women and even little children.

In August 1ST I, Dr. Me All, an English minister, and his wife, quiet people who had never before travelled beyond their native land, spent their four days' vacation in Paris. They did not apeak French, but just before sailing, |)r. McA.11 bethought himself that he might, through French tracts, help some hun- gering soul to Christ.

In haute he went to a tract repository and obtained what lie wanted.

On the last of the allotted four days, as Dr. and Mrs. McAH were standing under the windows of a great wineshop at the corner of Rue de Belleville and the Boulevard, Mrs. McAll offered a tract to the waiter. Soon be begged her to enter, "For," he Maid, "each customer wishes to possess one." As she came out of the wine shop, a workhigman, a Frenchman who spoke good English, stepped forward and respectfully asked of Dr. Me A11, "Sir, are you not a Christian minister? If so I have something of importance to say to you. You are at this moment in the midst of a district inhabited hy thousands and lens of thousands of us workingmen. * " * * If anyone would come ami teach us of a religion of freedom and earnestness, many of us are willing to listen."

To Dr. McAH this utterance came as did the vision to Paul of the Macedonian, saying, "Come over here ami help ta."

After much thought and prayer,4fe resigned his English parish and went, at his own expense, to obey this call of his Lorn.

Dr. and Mrs. McAH set up a new home in that "unsavory and disorderly suburb, Belleville.'1 Even the police warned him that their life there was unsafe. The very day they hired their rooms a friend told them nothing was more probable than their assassination.

Of course the lirst work was learning the language, then came the search for a hall where he could hold religious services.

On the afternoon of Jan. 17, I8T2, Dr. McAll and his wife walked the crowded Rue de Belleville distributing small papers of invitation to a meeting lobe held in a vacant shop. A friend lent him twenty-five chairs. Twenty-eight persons came in.

At the second meeting held the next Sunday evening there were one hundred present.

Dr. Arthur T. I'ierson has said, al- luding to that, lirst meeting of Dr. McAll ami the Paris workingmen; "What is the matter with the American people! I am totally unable to conceive why they have not waked up to the grandeur of tins event. To my mind there is nothing equal to it it] all missionary history !" Be it remembered that Dr. Pierson is the author of three volumes on "The Miracles of Missions.

Dr. Bichanl S. Storrs, once president of the A. B. C. F. M., said of this mission, "It is a work which began in an impulse of the Spirit of (iod as distinctly as any work since Pentecost."

I>, L. Moody said, after personal inspection, "I consider the McAll mission as a model mission for the world. Its special characteristic is that it preaches the Oospel daily, not in churches and chapels but in shops and in public thorough I ares." Mr. Moody expressed a wish that the great cities in the Failed States might adopt methods similar to Dr. Mc All's for reaching the unchurched masses.

Does anyone wonder why a mission is needed in France'.' It is because, out of a population of forty millions of nominal Christ tans, "It is computed that twenty millions have broken away from faith and are living in indifference, infidelity, at lie ism and hat red of religion." In- temperance lias become a terrible national scourge, tilling all classes with alarm. By it "thousands are dying as the heathen die, as the dogs die in the st reels of Constantinople."

It is to these Uodless. perching twentj millions that the McAll Mission, or, as it is called in France, Mission Pop- ulate Fvatigelique, devotes its efforts.

It is not a proselyting mission. It is not a sectarian mission.

It lias spread over France into Algeria and Corsica As it spreads, new forms of effort are devised. Besides prayer- meetings and Sunday services, there are Sunday schools, temperance meetings, meetings for the blind, for mothers, and for soldiers. They have Christian En- deavor societies, medical missions and Bible classes. Automobiles distribute Bibles ami tracts in rural districts and chapel botits carry the Gospel along the rivers and canals.

Shall we not lend a hand'.' There will be a meeting of the Amlo-

ver Auxiliary to the American McAll association at the South church, Thurs- day afternoon, Jan. 17, at three o'clock.

The ladies Home Missionary committee courteously postpone their meet ing, since Jan. I" is the anniversary of the opening of the first hall in Paris, and the date is to be specially observed by all the .McAll auxiliaries in this country and in England.

Having a large number of tul.p and other bulbs to tet out. he started about the work last Sunday morning. He was busily at work and already hud carefully imbedded a hundred of the bulbs, when his faithful spouse missed him from the house and went to seek "him. She found him. so the story goes sinking away at his work an 1 was told that he had nearly completed his task. Taking up the paper bag containing the few remaining bulbs, a peculiar expression passe 1 over her face which soon developed into a hearty laugh.

If you will put from one- fourth to half a teaspoonful in baby's bottle three or four times a day you will soon see a marked improvement. For larger children, from half to a teaspoonful, according to age, dissolved in their milk, if you so desire, will very soon show its great nourishing power.

IN THE SENATE.

The state senate was in session 35 minutes. Mr. Harrington of Worcester offered an order for the election, on the part of the senate, of a United Sta>tt« senator next Tuesday afternoon at 2.30. The order was adopted.

Mr. Marsh of Hampden presented a resolution urging our representatives In congress to secuTe the $25,000 approp I- ation for a permanent survey of the Connecticut river as far as Springfield and Holyoke.

Arter the adjournment of the branches the various committees met for the purpose of organization.

The joint committee on rules was to consider the advisability of increasing the membership of the metropolitan affairs committee, caused only by the necessity of giving Democratic representation on the committee. Adjourn- ment, without definite action, was forced through absence of members.

The committee on "probat" end insolvency" will ask the general court to rhanere the name to "committee on public lawF."

LAWRENCE CAMPS BROKEN INTO.

The owners of camps in the vicinity of Grand View on the river are again being tormented by mischief makers. The camp of C. H. Sargent. James C. Forbes, T. W. Home and G. H. Kit- tredge have all ben entered during the past week. There have been nothing except canned goods and small articles taken from three of the camps. In the Forbes camp the mischief makers did not even try the door or windows, but chopped a hcfle through the side of the ramp. Some time ago a tub full of dishes was stolen and Oast week it were returned, showing that trouble is being made by the same parties with nothing but malicious intent.

The camp owners are growing tired "f these breaks, and as the authorities fail to do anything for the stopping of the trouble, a movement is now on foot to set a trap for the miscreants.

DEATH STATISTICS.

There were 30 deaths reported to the board of 'health last week. Of these 11 were under five and six over 50 years of sge.

There seems to be an epidemlo oi colds.

It is strange how many people start In with a cold that they have contracted during the autumn months Such colds are dangerous, for unless cured when the weather is warm it is Tery difficult to get rid of them when really inclement weather appears.

Do not, if you have acold, go through this winter and let it pull you down. A racking cough may be the means of un- dermining your constitution, terminat- ing in consumption, when there will be no hope for escape.

Cod-Liver Oil has always been the greatest known specific for consumption. Naturally Cod-LiverOil has been given for colds which are regarded by many people as the first stage of this disease. There is no need of our tell- ing1 yon the drawbacks of Cod-Liver Oil; the vile, greasy mixture was so re- pellent that not more than one person in ten could take it. But Cod-Liver Oil did cure where it could be taken.

Now we have a cod-liver oil preparation that cures just as surely as did this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol. Anybody can take Vinol. It tastes delicious, and because it contains the active curative principles that made Cod-Liver Oil famous as the specific for consumption and other wasting diseases, it will be readily seen how valuable it is for all such troubles.

Here is one letter taken from many that are continually coming to our notice. Mrs. E. Cogh'an, 122 Putnam Ave., Cambridgeport, Mass., says:

" Last September I contracted a heavy cold which terminated with tou- silitis, and later the grip. All winter I had a dreadful cough, and the doctor advised me to take several things, among them Cod-Liver Oil. I tried it for several months without obtaining relief. At last I heard of Vinol and gave it a trial. Five bottles cured me and 1 have had no troubles since."

When we talk of Vinol, we know of what we speak, and will refund your money If you are not satisfied.

E.M. & W, A. ALLEN, Muig.ave Block

BUKNHAM WHITE,—the winner of the fifth Telegram prise, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. White of Andover, and has just passed his fourteenth birthday. He was born In North Andover on Jan. 1. 1887. His parents went to Haver- hill to live when he was lesn than a year old. He attended a private school in Haverhill and later the public sohools of that city, until his parents went to Andover about five years ago. He entered the fifth grade of the Stowe grammar school in the fall of 1896 am is now a pupil of the ninth grade. His mother was formerly Miss Bingham of this city and she was graduated from the High school In the class of '83. His father, who Is superintendent of the Marland mills at Andover, is a native of that town and a gradua.e of the Punchard Free school, class of 1877.

Selection of Books— Burnham White of Andover, winner of a $2 prise, selected a copy of Kirk Mun- roe's Fur Sea,l Tooth, Schoolboy Days in Japan.

In 1775 there seemed1 to be no mills that could manufacture gun powder. So In November 1775, the General Court voted to build some mills for the use of the Continental army.

After much discussion, they decided to bul.d one in Stoughton. They found an old mill there, and ordered u put in repair as soon as possible. Meanwhile Samuel Phillips, of Andover, saw the advantage of a private mill. He told the Court what he would like to do.

Then the Court made this proposition to him: they would allow him to build a mill, at his own expense and would furnish him with saltpetre and sulphur for one year, also, they would pay him eight pence a pjund foe all the powder he could make.

They said, also.e that he must have a rope or fence around all buildings containing powder, and that it must be at least one rod away from the building.

There was another precaution which should be made, besides. A guard must be stationed around the buildings and if any person were found inside the fence between sunset and sunrise he would be told to go away three times, and If he failed to do BO after the third warning the guard should fire on him.

Mr. Phillips accepted the proposition. He derided to build the milt on the banks of the Shawsheen River, about where the Marian! Mills are now.

On the second day of January,, he wrote to a Camuel Cunnable. Also he obtained an order from the Court al- lowing him to employ the master-workmen of the powder mill which was being built at Stoughton. a, Mr. Harling.

Mr. Phillips then called a meeting of Andover citizens, told them of his plans, showed them the necessity of promptness of action, and engaged a large number of men to dig the mill- race, saying, he would pay them if the mill paid him. It is said that to rou^e their Interest and to fasten the wo:k he himself worked with the men.

Thus, by such a prompt action the mill was finished and In operation in March, neaTly three 'months before the one at Stoughton was ready for work.

In the "Massachusetts Spy" of May 31, 1776. it said that the powder mill at Andover had turned out one thousand pounds of good gunpowder - week for the patt month. Farther on It mentioned the fast that the mill at Stough- ton would iit':;in to run in a few dayi.

Ptofe.'S^r Wlnthrop said in a letter: "Last week I was at the Powder Ml'l

at Andover. They go briskly on and turn out, as they told me, twelve hundred pounds per week, and shall soon turn out considerably more."

Great care was taken to keep out visitors or people who would be careless i»r do damage to the premises.

There were many difficulties In getting the materials. The supply of saltpetre having beevme very scarce, it was necessary to pull up the floors of the buildings to obtain earth from which to extract saltpetre. In this part of the work, Mr. Ellphalet Pear- son, afterwards "-eceptor of Phillips Academy, gave valuable assistance, both by his Inventive genius and practical knowledge of chemistry.

The utmost capacity of the mill was not equal to the demand for powder, although It was run day and night and on Sundays also.

Just as things were going on well. Joshua Chandler, the foreman of the mill, was drafted to make up a company for the re-enforcement of the troops at Dorchester. A little later on the next Important man, Josiah John- son, was drafted.

Mr. Phillips Immediately petitioned the General Court to exempt these men from military service and to treat the men in his employ "as though they were in public service as really as those In the Continental army."

The petition was granted and Joshua Chandler was discharged from the army.

Everything in the town which could help in the work was put into service for the mill. Even the meeting hou-e furniture was not spared.

In a letter to a friend, the Convmlsary General, Mr. Devens, Mr. Phillips said that unless he could have one of the stoves from the meeting house, his powder works would be retarded, he could put another in its place which would serve very well, although It would not answer his purpose as It was cracked. He said he could not wait for permission of the Court, as it would stop his works for at least one day, waiting for It,

Tn another letter he said that his saltpetre was all used up, and he must have more as soon as possible.

Mr. Zebadlah Abbot was appointed by the House committee to receive and examine saltpetre.

This experiment of manufacturing powder, upon whose success hung the greatest issues, was watched with much interest by the patriots all over the country.

Notwithstanding the pains taken In the manufacturing of powder, here, the results were not always satisfactory. General Washington com plained of the powder made In Massachusetts, and said that as good gun powder was of so great Importance that its manufactory mupl be strictly attended to.

An Inspector, Colonel Burbeck, was ordered to visit Andover and make a trial of the gun powder and also to make experiments In drying powder.

Resides this disbursement, a terrible ralamlty befell the mIM. it wis blown up in June 177<t. t'le buildings de- stroyed and three men killed.

This accident cause! great excitement and a committee was ordered to investigate the matter.

On June twelfth, they reported, afer ihe investigation, that th*- explosion was not due to any carelessness, but to an accident while it could not be h«'p3d and that the manufactory s.iould go on as before.

But there was a good deal of local feeling about the danger of the mill and no work was done for several monthB.

In October, however, the General Court resolved, for the encouragement and aid of Mr. PhlUlps. that they would do all they could to help him and if any other'explosion took p'ace TTley would pay half of the expense of repairing the mlH.

Two French gentlemen, experts In manufacturing, were sent to help at Andover.

A little later, Mr. Phillips wrote a letter to a friend giving an account of the Frenchmen's visit. He said that they had helped him a great deal yet he was a little bit disappointed In them, and Mr. Phillips seemed to think tie knew quite as much about the matter as the experts did.

In the same letter he said that a large number of British prisoners were employed in the mill. Thefe were likely to be exchanged any day and their removal would cause him a good deal of trouble. Also he thought these prisoners would like to stay In Andover as many of them had married and some had taken the oath of allegiance.

After the Revolution Mr. Phillips began to think of turning the mill Into a paper manufactory.

But he made the change very gradually and continued to make powder until 1797.

However, It seems from letters of Mr. Phillips, written in June 1789, that the paper menufactoring was then begun, and speaks of the difficulties of manufacturing paper and powder In the same milt. Yet both were continued and some new buildings were built.

Another explosion took place on Octo- ber 19, 1796. in which two men -were killed. After this practically no more powder was made although many wished to carry on the work.

Today nothing remains of the first manufactory of Andover except a sign hung in the office of Marland Mills, at Andover.

RECORDS OF THE PAST

Did a Wise Thin*.

Two Ancient Newspapers Recently Brought to Mght Furnish Interest-

ing Reading.

The American Gnu Light Journal in commenting upon the action of the selectmen of this place in granting a franchise to the Lawrence Gas company, rather than to any local company, seem to think that they did a wise thing. Following is what the Journal says on the subject in its issue of Jan. 7, 1001:

"The Hoard of Selectmen of Ando- ver, Mass., have seemingly determined to permit the Lawrence Gas company to supply that place with gas, despite the application of certain residents of Andover for a franchise. In any event the selectmen have submitted to the Lawrence Gas company the terms of a governing franciiise for the company's approval and acceptance. The 6th section of tlie franchise reads:

'The Lawrence Gas company agree that the town of Andover may purchase such portion of their plant, pipes, works and /machine* as may at any time be located within the limits of the town of Andover upon a fair valuation thereof, if at any time the town of Andover shall have a legal right so to do, and in case the town .shall purchase as above, the rights of location shall not be considered as of any monetary value.' There is no doubt that in t his specific instance that franchise is worth considering when it comes to esti- mating or valuing the same. Under the circumstances it looks that the advocates of the Lawrence Gas company did a wise tiling when they accepted the hardship of accepting a franchise valuation, and submitted to a waiving of any 'rights' of location from a monetary point of view. It is undeniable, however, that, if Andover in to have a gift supply, such supply would be far better rendered were it to come from the mains of the Lawrence Gas company than from any crudely devised and operated home plant."

CRUSHED.

They were engaged. But they quar- reled, and were too proud to make it up. Both were anxious to make people believe they had entirely forgotten each other.

He called a few davs ago at her father's house to see the old gentleman— on business, of course. She answered the front door beU. i-aid he:

"Ah. Miss Jepkin, I believe. Is your father in?"

"No, sir," she replied; "pa is not in at present. Do you wish to see him per- sonally?"

"I do," was his response, feeling that she was yielding; "on very particular personal business." And he turned proudly to go away.

"I beg your pardon," she called after him, as he reached the lowest step, "but who shall 1 say called?"—An- swers.

He was out walking with a young lady who had a decided antipathy to cigarettes, but not being aware of the prejudice he lighted one of the little roils and began smoking with great gusto, inhaling the fumes deep Into his lungs ani then blowing great rings up at the moon, which gazed tranquilly down on his folly, says the Memphis Scimitar.

Offended by his presumption, she sad with dangerous urbanity:

"Do you know I can read fortunes in cigarette smoke?

"Indeed!" exclaimed the unsuspecting youth; "perhaps you'll condescend to read mine."

"Oh, certainly, if you wish It." Then Ehe gazed up In the air at the

delicate blue wreaths of smoke. She hesitate 1 evidently puzzled about something.

■'I am undecided which of two thing*. Is to befall you," she admitted; "your fortune Is not so easily read as I fan- cied It would be."

"What are the two things?" "Why I can't determine whether you

are marked out for lung disease or lu- nacy," was the answer. "Cigarettes have such diverse effects on people of your temperament."

A moment later the cigarette lay glimmering in the gutter and the fortune telller was listening to her escort's ombarrased apologies.

While looking over papers which had been laid away for a long time, Joshua 11. Chandler of the West Parish, came across some very old papers which were so interesting to himself that he thought they might interest others, especially readers of the Townsman, consequently he brought them to the office and they now lie before the writer, sear and yellow with age, tattered and torn with much reading and handling.

Back more than a century go the thoughts of an observer as he gazes upon these papers for the date of one is Saturday, June 7, 1794, and of the other November. 9, 17».». The older of them is the Impartial Herald, published on Saturdays, by Edmund B. Blunt, Mar- ket-Square, New bin y port, price ("nine fhillings per annum, 4d. fingle.") The paper is No. 6(1, Vol. II.

Names to conjure with appear on the front page as signatures to, or prominent in various papers and communications. The heading to the first column is "Important State Papers." Under it appears a communication headed, "United States, May 21, 1794. Gentle- men of the Senate and of the Houfe of Representatives," and signed by "G. Washington," in which it sets forth the steps which the latter had taken upon learning that "fome encroachment was about to be made on our territory by an officer and party of Ilritifh troops." It goes on to tell of the action taken in making a representation to the British minister and states that it is not necessary to comment on the very serious nature of such an encroachment, nor urge the propriety of placing the United States "in a pofture of effectual preparation for an event, which, notwith- ftanding the endeavours making to avert, it may by olrcuraftances beyond our controul, be forced upon us." Then follow copies of letters passing between the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty, George Hammond, and the Secretary of State, Kdra. Ran- dolph.

In another place is a communication from the House of Representatives which had the counting of the ballots cast by the people of the Commonwealth for governor and lieutenant governor, in which it sets forth that "His Honor Samuel Adams, Efquire, was elected Governor of this Commonwealth for the year enfuiug, by a large majority of fuffrages," and as there was no choice made by the people for lieutenant-governor, the House proceeded to the election of two candidates which were sent to the Senate, who by a unanimous vote selected "The Hon. MosesGill.Efq."

Samuel Adams' speech is printed and other communications from George Washington, foreign intelligence, ship news, a poem headed "Lines written by a Prifoner at Algiers, to his friends in Newburyport, (Published by Desire.), and a half dozen advertisements.

The other paper is of a later date and is headed "The Botton Gazette and Weekly Republican Jour mil, Monday, November 9, 1796, Printed by Benja- min l-.iIt's, in Kilby-Street, Boston. A free l*rvfn maintains the Majefty of the People.''' There are many communications from different states anent the treaty then pending with Grant Britain, foreign news, and considerable advertising. Several auctions are chronicled one of which follows:

After giving the cast of characters the prices of tickets are given as follows: "Boxes (If. IMt ami Slip 4 « and Gallery 8f. Doois will be opened at 5, performance commence at (I o'clock. Viri' la RepubHouel

In another place the managers of the Boston Theatre state that an advance of price has been made necessary ou account of the enormous expense "by having engaged a company of ThiHy-eiyht perfous, for the enfuing feafon, feveral of whom, are confefTedly in the firft line of excellence, together with a more NUMEROUS ORCIIESTRE, and preparations of feveral fplendid PANTO- MINES.'

How shocked would the good people of today be to see advertised In the Townsman "New Congregational Meet- Ing-Houfe LOTTERY," or "Harvard College LOTTKKY;" but these are di- lated upon in the Gazette with assurance of their prompt drawings and pay- ments.

There are many other things such as the authorization by "the town of Bofloi." of the sale of land where or near where the State House now stands. Space forbids further mention of the many to us, queer tilings contained in these ancient publications, records of a previous century.

Miss Mary Shaw of the Professional Woman's League, the clever actress, whose rich, sympathetic voice and strong emotional qualities gives such artistic earnestness to the part of the old Egyptian nurse Amrah, in "Ben Hur," at the Colonial theatre, declares that she never had a part In a play which seems to take so much of her force for the amount of work done as her present character. "I look at It all reverentially and from an art stand- point." she says, "up to the time of th« telling of the miracle, and it all has to he oone with a delicate and sincere touch. I try to feel as one would who has really seen a miracle, and am affected strangely."

A lecturer on foods says that the amount of sugar to be given children and the best form in which to provide It are Important questions of their diet It Is admitted by food authorities of the day that sugar is a food especially adapted for children because of their great activity and proportionately greater need of heat and energy.

The "objection" of the ubuttor on Main street to the Lawrence & Read* ing road, hqp been # safely piloted through its many obstacles and delays, ami has finally reached the railroad commissioners.

That the protest should be barren of some of the prominent names which added to its importance before, is not surprising, for there lias been a great change in sentiment on this subject since the original proposition for two tracks. Hut it is really surprising that so many of the estimable citizens on the street have lent themselves to aid the cunningly devised scheme of the only real objector there is,—the I* L. & II. railway through its agent.

The case now comes before the railroad commissioners, whose action will be awaited with interest. Whatever the outcome, we believe the time has come for the unmasking of the whole business by which the rights of the public are being abused in street railway matters in Andover. A company which gives the worst service in the state, provides the greatest possible number of discomforts, is today virtually holding up every form of development that can come to the town through the principal street of the town. In the belief that no law would uphold such treatment as this road has given the town of Andover, the legal side of the question has been looked up with the result that we believe the time has come for the selectmen of the town to take summary action. We believe they will be widely approved hf they revoke the present franchise of -the L. L. & II. road in Andover, from Andover square to the top of the hill under the law as set forth in the following.

Chap. 378, Acts of I898.

Sec. 17. The board of aldermen of a city or the selectmen of a town, after the expiration of one year from the opening for use of a street railway in their city or town, and after notice as provided in section thirteen of this act and a hearing, if the public necessity and convenience in the use of the streets require, may, for good and sufficient reasons to be stated ill the order therefor, order that the location of any street railway in any highway or street shall be re- voked: but no revocation of a location of a street railway shall lie valid until approved by the board of railroad commissioners after public notice and bearing, unless the company consent- thereto in writing within thirty days after such order of revocation, Upon revocation approved as aforesaid, the company shall remove the railway in conformity with the order of revocation, and shall put the portion of the surface of streets disturbed by such removal in as good condition as the adjacent surface of said streets. If the company neglects to execute such order after thirty days' notice of such approval thereof, the board of aldermen or selectmen liiay cause the same to be executed and the work done at the expense of* the company, to be recovered in an action of tort. We have been told over and over

again that this can not be done under the law, but the above citation certainly provides the way for the issue to be raised and brought to the commissioners. And if it comes to the com missioneis the town of Andover is full of men ready to aid in making out a very strong case against the I.. L Jt II. road.

Editorial Cinders.

A prominent American statesman has recently described the kind of man which the government ought to send to the Philippines for the important judicial jiositious provided under the law enacted for government there; saying that he should be **a man of the highest character, of superior judg- meut'ofcalm and even temperament, and one possessing the very hest legal equipment possible." William Odlin of this town is a candidate for one of these positions.

The selectmen were very generous in their treatment of those who wish for Sunday opening privileges, ami licensed several places, which we are told do not come wholly within the law. The respect in which these places are criticised is in their inability to provide what a victualler's license calls for. If this criticism is deserved, the remedy should be promptly insisted upon by the authorities.

~*A report of the trus'.ees of the Sol diet's' Home at Chelsea at hand, brings anew to mind the deep interest which one of Andover's citizens, Peter I). Smith, has in this institution and all other (J. A. H. interests. The death of ('apt. Adams has brought about the recent election of Mr. Smith to the presidency *>f the " Home."

New Officers Elected. Reports of Com- mittees. What the Guild is Doing

for Andover.

The annual meeting of the Andover ■ Guild took place in the Guild House on Tuesday evening last at H o'clock. After the meeting hail been called to order by the president, .I. Newton Cole, and the records bad been read by the clerk, Mrs. William Marland, treasurer, A. L. Hip- ley read bis report. From this it appeared that the receipts for the year bad been $1841.04 and the expenditures *1724.<i:i. Last year the receipts were $im>5, and the expenditures 91645. The present year therefore shows an in- crease on both sides of the account. In one respect the showing has not been satisfactory; the number of regular sub- scribers has fallen off and the amount of subscriptions has diminished by about $200. Contributions for special pur- poses have more than made this good; but it is greatly to be desired that more of the ciLizens of Andover should interest themselves in the Guild and, by paying $1 each a year, become members and aid in its work. The amount received for fees from classes was within 18 of that of last year, as was also the amount spent for relief. The plant of the (Juild —its land, building, etc.,— are valued at £4200. The treasurer also reported on the'work of the stamp saving branch. This carries on its work mainly among children, who bring their pennies and receive stamps which they affix to a card. The stamps may be presented for redemption, paid, and cancelled at any time. When the card represents 9ft, it is exchanged for a bank-book of deposit. The stamp saving branch has received in the last five years from depositors in town $2'>o4.12. The amount represented by stamps outstanding at present is s28S.0!>.

The report of the superintendent, Mrs. F. A. Andrews, showed that during the past year three families had been supplied with groceries, one with nourishment in sickness, and 17 with garments. The calls for nurses and attendants in sickness had been so many that a license had been applied for and issued to the Guild to act as an intelligence office in this inspect. | Nurses are therefore registered here, and persons desiring their services can apply at Hie superintendent's office in the Guild House.

At tins stage of the meeting a committee was appointed by the chair to retire and nominate a list of otlicers and directors for election for the ensuing year. The committee, consisting of Itev. Frederic Palmer, Rev. F. A. Wilson, ami Miss Julia E. Twichell, after delibera- tion, presented the following list: for clerk, Mrs. William Marland; for treasurer, A. L. Hipley; for directors, Hev. A. T. Belknap, J. Newton Cole, Alexander Dick, Mrs. W. G. Goldsmith, George E. Johnson, Miss Margaret Keane, Mrs. William Marland, Mis* Mary P. Mills, Kev. Frederic Palmer, Miss Evelyn P. Heed, A. P. Kipley, Mrs. C. W. Scott, Al- fred E. Stearns, Kev. F. R. 8 hip man and Mrs. H F. Wilson. Reports followed on the various departments of the Guild: from Miss Mills on the work in general among girls, a report which was read by Mr. Kipley in Miss Mill's absence; from Miss Marland on the sewing school; from Miss Blood on the kitchen garden: from Miss Hincks on the girls'evening classes; from Messrs. Cole and Johnson on the work among boys. Mr. Cole em- phasized the need for volunteers who understood buys and were willing to give an evening a week to work among them. The reports were all full of interest, and showed the great amount of uplifting work which is quietly going on in Andover thro' this one agency. Among its oilier outward signs a room w as shown tn the (Juild House which had been fitted up as a parlor by the girls of the evening classes, to which they bring their friends of an evening. An amendment to the By-Laws was passed, by which the time of the annual meeting was changed from the second Tuesday in January to the second Tues- day in October of each year. After a few remarks by Prof. Moore, commend- ing the Guild, the meeting adjourned.

Immediately afterwards the new Hoard of Directors was called together. It organized by the choice of its former officers, Mrs. William Marland as clerk, and J. Newton Cole as president. Mrs. F. A. Andrews was re-elected superintendent, and a vote of thanks to her was passed by the directors for the very efficient way in which she has tilled her office. The committee—Mr. Johhson and Mr. Stearns—previously appointed to consider the establishment of a dental clinic, was continued, and an appropriation made to enable the Committee to carry on its work, it is understood that one day a month free dental services will be given to the children in the public schools who need it and whose parents are unable to provide it for them. This plan will be carried out under the direction of the superintendent of schools, and is made possible by the kindness of the dentists in town in contributing their services, of the school committee in giving the use of a room in the siowe school, and of Dr. Gilbert in giving a dentist's chair.

A committee, consisting of Mrs. Goldsmith, Mrs. Scott, and Mr. Johnson was appointed to present to the next meeting a list of standing committees of the directors for work throughout the ensuing year,

A passer along Kssex jfnr Central streets may see any evening a building on Brook street brightly lighted, with persons passing in and out. If his curi- osity leads him to go in, as he is welcome to do, be will find one or more rooms occupied with classes in cooking, dress-making, literature, gymnastics, wood-working, politics, millinery, dancing. This is where interests are re- vealed and self-restraint created. This is the place into which the streets and st reet-corners are bet ng emptied, and where the charms of home-making and home-keeping are exhibited. This is one of the guarantees for the morality and intelligence of Andover's next generation. This is the Guild House.

In l£x- Representative Behalf.

Odlin's

Ex-Representative William odlin of this place may receive an appointment from I'resident McKinley as a supreme court justice in the Philippines. A petition was in circulation in the Massa- chusetts house of representatives on Beacon Hill, Boston, Monday, which was pretty generally signed, asking that the President so appoint him.

Inaugurating a new custom at t h,j8t

church, the first of w hat will doubt]*! be an annual event in the future, was held at the Parish house Monday even, ing. This was a supper to which all members of the Parish eighteen years of age and over were invited. To*the invitation nearly 100 responded, so that the seats at the five long tables were nearly all filled when the parishioners sat down at seven o'clock to an excellent repast prepared by Caterer Tanner 0f Haverhill.

Seated at the head table was l)r, James Fuller, the presiding officer, Mrs] Fuller, Rev. Frederic Palmer, Mr mer, H. II. Tver, Mrs. Tyer, and Thomson.

After the wants of the inner were attended to, Dr. Fuller Intro the pastor, Kev. Mr. Palmer, as tin speaker. He spoke chiefly upon pa matters, touching upon the relationship of the rector to his parishioners; the relationship of the parishioners to each oilier and to the transcient worships.

Mr. Palmer spoke in the most compli- mentary terms of Andover's residents as a whole, referring to their unusual intelligence. He said that the mill opera- tives were above the ordinary and said that the sterling, upright Scotch residents of the town were doing much to build up the honesty and worth of And- over's citizens.

Horace H. Tyer, the senior warden, was next called upon. Mr. Tyer said that he was glad to see the parishioners of Christ church gathered about a common board and to look into the face* around him. He recalled his connection with the Parish dating from 80 years previous, 20 of which he had been senior warden of the Parish. The pastors during these times were named in rotation with a pleasant word for each. He said that whenever the Parish wanted anything particularly it had always been obtained by united action. "We have a tine pastor and a fine choir. All we need is united action in the affairs of the Par- ish," he continued. "The Parish is in a very good fiimncial condition," he said, but suggested that several things were needed in the way of furnishings for the church am) thought that a subscription. would be a better way to raise money than by a fair. Mr. Tyer spoke feelingly of the last member of the Mai land family who bad recently passed away. He ended by wishing all a Happy New Year.

Dr. Fuller next read a communication from Arthur P. Goodrich, superintendent of the Sunday school, in which the affairs of the school were shown in a favorable light. Mrs. Palmer next read the report of Miss Margaret E. Gray, secretary of the Girls' Friendly society.

Mrs. IP IP Tyer, president of the Wo- man's Guild, gave a report showing the work and interest of the society in missions. She said that the society was at the centre of the social life of the church.

John Bachelder, organist and choir- master, spoke a few words on the past and future of the choir and F. 11. Knight spoke on the Choir Guild. Ezra 1.. Ab- bot read an appreciative obituary notice of the late Mrs Sarah H. Marland.

Following the supper, a Parish meeting was held, at which F. II. Knight acted as moderator. Horace H. Tyer was elected senior warden and Francis H. Johnson junior warden. The vestrymen chosen were Dr. James Fuller, Will iaiii M. Wood, J. Tyler Kimball, II. Ssn- ford Leach, Miss Kate Roberts, Kzra Lincoln Abbot and Charles E. F. I larks. Jules Duval was re-elected as treasurer and T. D. Thomson its clerk. The same music committee was chosen to serve for another year.

Upon a motion by Dr. Fuller it was voted that the paper read by Ezra I.. Ab- bot at the supper in memory of the late ilrs. Marland be embodied In a rcsolu-

j tion and spread upon the minutes of the Parish meeting, and that copies of the same be sent to the bereaved relatives, and also that the same be printed in the Churchman and the Townsman.

The committee having in charge the hums' celebration on Jan. '^5, desire to announce that they have secured I. O. 0. F. hall to use in connection with Pil- grim hall on that night, so that a second, but small, issue of tickets has been made possible. Those failing to secure any of the first issue before they were all sold would do well to apply at once as the second issue increases the number but

Tickets may be secured while they last at the residence of the chairman, E. R. Barton, 20 Elm street, and of the committee.

"Necessity is the mother of invention." Simplicity is its most essential characteristic. For years inventors throughout the world have been In searcn or some device whereby th^ breakage of cops might be prevented, as well as accidents to the working parts of a loom. The picker-starts operating with the necessary force to drive the shuttle through the shed from one shuttle-box to the other, with the loom running at ahlgh fpeed_are_the_grealj est iactors in tnis DreaKage wnicn result In a great waste of cups and eeveie wear and tear on the delicate parts of the machine.

Francis Arthur Mills, a residum ol Methuen, who for several years ha= been prominent in this vicinity as an inventor of shoe sewing machinery on which he has been granted as many a.-s ill patents, is responsible for the de- vices which bid fair to take a prominent place in the weaving departments of all mills, not only In America, hut also in the great manufacturing countries of the world. Up to the time of his present inventions, Mr. Mills had paid but little attention to anything In the line of cotton, woolen or worsted mill machinery; all his energies ha.i been devoted to his chosen vocation. One evening while conversing with Grosvenor B. Emmons, a member of the Emmons Loom Harness Co., of this city, the question of pickers was casu- ally taken up. Mr. Emmons who 1.- a man of wide experience, spoke of the indurability oT the average picker und the apparent impossibility of remedy- ing the defects. With the genius or an Inventor Mr. Mills at once went lu work to remedy the cause, with tlic result that today he has accomplished an end which the brains of half a century have been unable to produce.

Mr. Mills' patents are two In number a Pneumatic Shuttle Butter for looms and a Picker-staff Puffer for looms.

The former consist? of a pneumtm: rubber buffer, semi-spherical in shape, placed in a chamberei bracket by which it Is secured to the race-lay beam of the loom. Against this buffer the picker-staff is forced on receiving the shuttle and the combined blows of the shuttle picker and picker-staff are arrested with a dead, soft, non-re- bounding Impact. As a result of this apparently simple contrivance the shuttle has no rebound, but remains In close contact with the picker. The ad- vantages of such a mechanism are most clear to one acquainted with the workings of a loom. The excessive Jar has been eliminated, which results in the non-breakage of cops, therefore making the percentage of waste Infi- nitely small.

Handsome Stained Glass Windows Put Finishing: Touches to St. Augus-

tine's Church.

Within a comparatively short time, new stained glass windows, "most of them gifts, have replaced the windows of plain glass put in temporarily at St. Augustine's church, when the auditorium was completed. The new windows were selected by Fr. O'Mahoney who exercised his excellent taste for the artistic in so doing. A few words explaining the style and general idea of each window and giving tlie donors' names will not be out of place.

As .the worshipper or visitor enters the beautiful vestibule,of the church, a soft, mellow light seems to Rood the place. Glancing upland about, one may readily perceive from whence comes the delightful color effect for through windows w hose colors are blended shades of purple, rose and topaz, the light filters. In style the windows might be called got hie.

Entering the body of the church, the first window on the left was the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Sweeney. It represents tit. Matthew and St. Mark in characteristic poses. The figures occupy separate niches and the colors used are harmonized very beautifully. Above the heads, the Apostles' lion is used emblematically. The remaining windows are of the same general style and colors but the figures are, of course, different.

The next window on the left represents St. Peter and St. Paul and was given in memory of Patrick and Bridget Ilannon. The keys of St. Peter are used as the emblem here in the niche above the apostles' heads.

Next on the left the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary from paintings by Dolci make a very beautiful window. This window was given in memory of .lohn Doherty. Above is a crown and the letters "B. M. V." for beatue Marie Yiffjum.

Following In order on the left is a window given by the Sacred Heart So- ciety, in memory of Rev. Fr. Jeremiah liyan, O. S, A. The figures are St. Anthony ami Child from Murillo, a very beautiful thing, as is also the companion picture, the Virgin and Child copied from a miraculous painting by an unknown artist at (ienzano, Italy. Above the heads, emblems of the chalice and host are displayed.

Next conies a window erected in memory of Thomas McNally, showing St. John the Baptist ami our Lord, as boys of HI years of age or thereabouts. The Lamb and the Rook are used as emblems here.

St. Monica and St. Augustine taken from a painting by C'halfer are the pictures In the next window, a gift from the Catholic Benevolent Society. Over the double inscription "Tolle lege," are the Heart and the Hook.

The next window is that of I fie Sacred Heart of Jesus, in which Ihe figures of Jesus bearing the Sacred Heart and the Virgin Mary with Heart transpierced with sword are displayed. Above are the sword, cross, roses and lilies. The window is a memorial to John and James Sweeney, and complete the series no 1 he left. - As the windows in the front have been described in a previous issue, tlie ones 011 the right will next be taken up in order, beginning at the one nearest the altar. It contains the figures of Keee Homo and Mater Dolorosa and is a memorial to Mrs* Mary Donovan. Here the emblems are the cross, crown of thorns and the emblem of the possession.

Next on the right is a window bearing the figures of St. Pat rick and St. Bridget, gift oi Dennis Donovan. Above is the urn containing incense.

A beautiful reproduction of the boy Christ taken from Hoffman's Christ in the Temple, and a figure of St. Joseph with the Lilies are seen in the next window in order. This was a gilt of John McKenzle in memory of Fr. Am- brose Mullen, <>. s. A., a former pastor at St. Augustine's. The carpenter's tools occupy the niche above as an emblem.

In the next window are figures of St. Nicholas of Talentine and St. Rita of Casia, with emblems of the cross ami star. Ann Bennett gave this window in memory of her brother and sisters.

Carlo Dolci is the painter of the orig- inals which are reproduced in the window following in order. The figuresJare St. Lucy the Martyr and St. Castro!r, prince of Poland. Palms and callas are used emblematically in connection therewith. ( atberine K. Lyons presented this window to the church.

One portion of the last window on the right was presented in memory of Isa- bella Ford and Jane McMabon and the other by Patrick English in memory of his parents, st. Luke ami St. John the Evangelists are shown. Above is seen the eagle representing the soaring of St. John.

At the rear of the choir loft are handsome gothic windows with musical designs, and with soft, agreeable colorings. These windows are not yet paid for, hence the Minstrel Show which the church choir will present next Friday evening, at the Town hall. With the beautiful timings of the walls and ceil- ings at the church, anil the handsome effects produced by the new windows, one cannot but help being pleased with the interior of St. Augustine's and the church people deserve congratulations on their lovely church home.

MARGARET WOOLS LAWRENCE.

Mrs. Lawrence, born in Andover, April 12, IHi:;, in the house formerly standing at the end of Latin Commons on Phil lips street, and occupied for a time by Judge Phillips, and afterwards by Pro- fessor Woods, died of old age in Marble- head the fifth inst., in the 8Nth year of her age, the last survivor of the ten children of Prof. Leonard Woods, first professor of theology in Andover Semi- nary.

Mrs. Lawrence is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Nims, who for several years has resided with her mother in Marble- head, and by two grandchildren. Miss Florence Pray of Brooklyn, N.

The young lady to whom the son was betrothed she regarded and treated as a daughter.

Mrs Lawrence was educated in And- over, and has been always intensely active in religious, theological, literary, educational, philanthropic, and reform movements She was the author of several volumes, she contributed to the periodical press, and conducted a most extensive correspondence. In her early authorship she wrote under the name of "Meta Lander," and her letters to personal friends were often signed '* Ye Ken Wha." She was fond of travel, and numbered in her acquaintance a very great number of distinguished men and women at home and abroad. Theolog- ical discussion interested her, and her novel, " Marion Graham," was distinctly theological in its material and motive. " Light on the Dark River," — a memorial of the first Mrs. Hamlin, sister of the late Rev. Dr. Samuel O. Jackson of Andover,—expressed ami quickened.her zeal for modern missions. "The Tobac- co Problem " is a valiant crusade for ab- stinence from that abused narcotic. Her interest in the " Lawrence House " in Baltimore, the social settlement established in memory of her gifted son, was not simply personal, but apart of her effort for the welfare of society. To "Parish Problems" she contributed a large number of chapters, the fruit of tier experience as the wife of a pastor who was for many years a professor of theology, training men for pastoral experience. Her last and most serious work was the " Reminiscences" of her son, a graduate of Phillips academy of valedictorian rank in the class of isiil. of Yale in 1868, and afterwards a student in theology at Princeton and in Ger- many, and pastor at Champlain, l'otigh- keepsie, Syracuse, and Baltimore. It was with this handsome book that she Was occupied up to the day of her death. She lived to see it completed.' "a sacred though sorrowful task," as she called it. certainly a noble memorial to a gifted son. When it was finished she seemed to have rounded out the full measure of her indefatigable aei ivities, to have reached the fitting close of a long and strenuous life.

The Andover lire department responded to an alarm from box 48 located on Summer street, near Hie corner of Washington avenue, Tuesday morning at 11.45 o'clock. Yery rapid time Mas made by the department in getting out of the house for the reason that one pair of horses was in the stalls and the others not far away from the engine house. When the box was reached, it was learned that the tire was at Tucker's. Thinking the Tucker's referred to was William Tucker's house this side of the North Andover line, the apparatus kept on only to find that the tire was located in the attic of George W. Tucker's house in North Andover, near the line.

John W. Huteheson, the well known lisb man, gave the alarm in Andover as the distance was shorter than to North Andover centre. 'Twas lucky for the Tuckers that he diil because the North Andover apparatus could never have arrived in time to do much good. The local firemen had difficulty in securing any water, and after pumping all the water possible from two wells, a bucket brigade was organized and the tire extinguished.

The furniture was removed from the two downstairs stories by volunteer firemen and was not seriously damaged. The roof, the attic and contents and a portion of the kitchen was damaged somewhat but the house was otherwise preserved. A defective chimney is supposed to have started the fire in the attic. Miss Anna Tucker was alone in the house at the time. Damage to the house and furniture by tire and water will probably amount to not over 1500. The house is insured for $1000 and the furniture for WOO in the Merrimack Mutual.

I The North Andover department I should have been notified so that when they arrived the local firemen could have come home and covered their own town which was left unprotected. This was not done until after the Ami- over firemen returned to the engine house, however.

Letter from the West.

FRYE VILLAGE.

Patrick Devhie, a Lawrence laborer, was severely injured Thursday morning by falling from the car in front of the residence of Messrs. Curran «v. Joyce. Devine struck on his face, which was badly cut and bruised. He was placed on the car again, carried to Andover square. His injuries were dressed by Dr. E. ('. Conroy in his office. By the advice of the physician he was later removed to the Lawrence General hospital, as it is feared that he received internal injuries. Devine was employed in the construction of the wall opposite Wil- liam M. Wood's residence.

Mr. and Mrs. Morgan's store has been removed from the little building to the dwelling on the west side of the street, recently repaired by Paul Hannlgiin.

South Haven, Mieh., Dec. *J4, ItHM,.

Dear Townxnian:— Perhaps a communication from an old

Andover boy may he of interest to some of your readers. I was horn in Andover, Nov. 26, 1855, my father, D. 11. At wood, keeping store on Main street at that time, which he eventually sold to Jona- than Swift, My grandfather was Dea. Jacob Dnsoonib who, at my mother's de- cease in 1850, took me to his home and there my boyhood life was spent. The Influence of bis good life has been a blessing to me all these years. He died in 1H"4. 1 attended the grammar school at Hallardvule and entered the Pun- chard in the fall of 18.18, attending three years, years full of pleasant memories. It was a pleasure when East a year ago to meet my old teacher, Mr. W. G. Goldsmith, under whose cars old Punchard was ever prosperous. I left school lo enter business in Boston until 1879, since which lime t have represented Eastern linns in Chi- cago. After twenty-five years spent In the West it Is pleasant at times to think of Andover, its good people and the good it has diffused through its educational institutions, and its prominence in every forward movement for the betterment of its own citizens.

At present I am living in Hie famous fruit belt of Western Michigan. Let me in closing give your readers an idea of "South Haven by the Sea" (Lake Michi- gan). It is a growing village of 4000 population, so miles across the lake from Chicago, and in the summer is a charm iug resort. Thousands come here from the hot and dusty city to enjoy the boating and bathing and the hunting and fishing on lilack river. Cottages) hoe the shore for miles and there are six large summer hotels. In 1808 there were shipped from this port 2,000,000 baskets; of peaches besides other fruits. We have two hanks, three newspapers, the village owns its waterworks and electric light plant; there are churches of all de- nominations and a free public library. It seems like old times to be a resident of a small village hut the change is very enjoyable after living in Chicago eight era years ami "our lives are indeed cast in pleasant places."

I trust this article may strike ihe eye of 1 has. H. Shearer, John T. Kimball* II. Frank Smith, Sydney S. Millet! ami other friends of my youth.

LAWRENCE Bridge Report.

The C'jmmieslon appointed by Mayor Leonard to look Into the building of a roadway over the Boston & Lowell railroad bridge across the Merrlmack. have made the following report: "To His Honor, the Mayor and the

City Council of the City of Law- rence:

"The committee appointed by the mayor and aldermen in the early part of the year to consider the project of constructing a highway acrots the Mer- rlmack river, at or near the present location of the Boston & Lowell railroad. beg have to submit ihe following report. The problem which the commission had to consider, briefly stated was this:

"The construction of a highway for the accommodation of vehicles and foot passengers at some central point between the two bridges over the Merrl- mack river, where it can be most econ- omically built and where it will b.-.-t serve the public.

"Whatever spot may be selected, the problem contemplates not only the crossing of the river and two canals, but also the crossing of a railroad location on each side of the river, that on the north side of the river comprising two tracks in the main line of the BOB- ton & Maine railroad and several spur tracks. Tt Is evident that such a crossing, to Insure the safety and convenience of the public and to meet the future demands of a growing city, must not be at grade.

"We are of the opinion that the best place for such a structure Is on the line of the location of the Boston & Lowell railroad. Hlnce the crossing must be an elevated one, it is obvious'y an advantage to use. as far as possible, the way already In use if it can be done without serious inconvenience to the railroad. This would Involve the construction of a viaduct 50 feet in width, with solid concrete floor, on trestlework at an elevation of at least 18 feet above the railroad tracks, to rest upon proper abutments on each side of the river, and upon supplementary piers In the river on each side of those supporting the railroad bridge. This trestle work would extend from the north line on Canal street, on the north side of the river In a nearly straight line to a point on land, of the Boston & Maine railroad. Just beyond the northernmost track of the railroad on south side of the river an I Just west of the land occupied by the Emerson Manufacturing company, and would be buint above and entirely Independent of the railroaJ bridge. The plan would require the removal of the present spark shed and the construction in Its place of a similar structure with stronger waWs am! foundations. From the termini of the trestle work would extend approaches constrUctel of earth and stone, curving gradually and descending at easy in- clines so as tn come to grade at or near the corner of Essex and Amesbury streets and the corner of Parker and Mark.-t streets. It would require the condemnation of the land of F. S. Jew- ett at the coiner of K--ex an 1 Ame-- bury streets, the "land of the Boston & Lowell i allroad, now covered by It* freight ->pot. hut without impairing Its train she . a strip of land of the At- lantic cotton mills contiguous to the spark shed parly occupied by small buildings, a strip « f land or the Farwel! Bleacheiy and some land of the Boston & Maine railroad at the corner of Mar- ket and Parker streets. The trestle work would be about 2.320 feet In length and the whole length of the viaduct end approaches would he 8,125 feet.

"As a part of the work there should be a separation of the gra 'e at Parker street and of that at M.'rrlnmck street: this would Involve the construct! in of abutments of stone and earth sloping at such an angle as to carry the surface if the street up to the height of th«

trestle with an easy grade. The eleva- ti m of the grade of Merrlmack street in till- manner would in itself work a

"We do not regard it our duty t.:. present the arguments In favor of this project, or to urge the city to under- take the work. The arguments In its favor are nbvlous and the need and de- slrahillty of a more centraJ connection between North and South Law- rence are universally conceded. Wheth- er the city's financial contitlon will Justify the expenditure of such a sum of money, It Is not for us to determine. But we may without impropriety say that, in our opinion, the project above outlined. Is practical and feasible, that the estimates of expenditure are exaggerated rather than scanty, and that such a via uct would be worth to th * people of Lawrence In a variety of ways more than it would cost.

"The commission had no power to expend money for plans or estimate.; and is therefore under obligations for the voluntary, but no less valuable assistance if Mr. D. H. Andrews of the Boston bridge works and of Mr. Arthur D. Marble, the city engineer, in whose office a plan of the proposed structure may be seen.

LAWRENCE WOMAN'S CLUB.

The Lawrence Woman's club held m regular January meeting recently with the Misses Saunders on Prospect street.

It was the month for the Art department to provide the program and ltd members were very happy in their choice of Mr. Charles H. Stone, a member of the faculty of Phillips Acade- my, Andover, who read a very interesting and appreciative paper on "Turner." The speaker was introduced to the cflub by Mrs. John L. BreWBter, chairman of the Art department.

Mr. Stone outlined the details <",; Turner's life showing him to have been ravored by fortune with a remarkably strong physique, and with ample oppor- tunities for study and travel: to have won an early recognition by .the Royal Academy, as well as abundant material prosperity; and to have lived the full three score years and ten allotted to man. But during nearly all his life he was so unfortunate as to lack the re- fining influence of a good woman's friendship and love.

As a landscape painter in b >th water- colors and oils Turner's genius lay in his power to concentrate a great amount of light into a very small space and In the wondrous richness of hi- coloring. The figure-work, introduced for commercial reasons, was often defective.

Turner's works have had many unfa- vorable critics, but they gained Tor hi in an ardent advocate In John Ruskin. whose "Modern Painters" was really a defence of Turner.

At the close of the paper the Misse* Saunders gave the club a rich musical treat in the following numbers: Suite in D-major, Bach

Violin and Piano. Romanza In F-major, Beethoven Faust-Fantalsle, Sarasate

The players were Mr. Otto Roth, a member of the Boston Symphony orchestra, violinist, accompanied upon the piano by Mr. J. Wallace Goodrich of Boston.

During the social half hour which followed the hostesses were assisted at the tea table by Mrs. Augustine H. Amory and Mrs. Frederick St. C. Herrick.

A GIRL'S DIARY OF 1793. Htw lawrcr.ee Looked to a Visitor of i

Centui y Ago.

A VISIT TO LAWRENCE IN 1793.

Being a series of selected portions from the journal of Mis- tress Dorothy Bradstreet of Boston, for the month of No- vember. 1793.

MISS GERTRUDE E. SIMPSON of 33 State street, was the winner t f the Telegram's fourth prise in the recent composition contest. She U the daughter of Francis A. Simp- son, forman of the sjle leather department of Khmball Brothers' shoe shop, and is at p:eaent a senior in the High school, being a member of the class of 1901.

Miss Simpson was b< rn In Kenne- bunk, Me., but has lived in this city for the past seven years. Her first education was received In the primary schools of Kennebunk and upon her coming to this city she entered the Packard Grammar school from which she graduated in June 1897. In September of that year, «'ie emeted the High school and it Is her intention to go away to school after completing her studies In thl- city.

She is secretary of her class and is on the literary staff of the Bul.e- tin. In English work she Is with the best scholars and It Is said that no pupil In her class can write such fine, original compositions as she can.

As she Is just recovering from an attack of pneumonia and is a& yet unable to go out of doors, rhe has not made her se'eetl n of the books of which she is the happy winner.

"I have this day received a most kind invitation from my father to accompany him on a journey to a place as yet unknown to me, a certain Bod- well's Faille, if my memory Berves me rightly. Upon Inquiry I have found these falls to be situated on the course of the Merrlmack river. I am sore afraid lest my mother may not see fit to let me go, I think that I may go in perfect propriety, however, and Will endeavor, as is always my wont, to be most quiet as I sit behind my father on the pillion and to deport myself during the whole journey in a most polite and ladylike manner.

"This morning mother has given me permission to go. She was much in doubt as to the propriety of it, but this morning after much thinking upon the matter, she has told me that as yesterday was my birthday and as I am now almost a lady grown, It is befitting that I, the daughter of James Brad- street, esquire, late of England, should travel and see something of the country around Boston. Therefore it Is decide! that 1 shall go. My father will take the gray horse. King George, which Is considered the safest of our hordes.

"I have neglected to write in my journal for three. days, being on the roa I for the most part of the day, and sleeping nights In the farmhouses which are scattered along the road. Many of these farmers are known to my father, and we are received very hospitably at their houses. The farm houses are wonders to me. My father chl es me for my staring eyes, which, indeed I cannot help. A few houses at which we stopped were made of rough logs, with chinks daubed with clay, and had a thatche I roof, but the majority were made of square hewn logs with no chinks. The windows are diamond shaped panes of glass which strike me as very pretty. The doors are very thick, indeed, an I at night, are fastened with heavy wooden cross-bars. All the houses have a great chimney. Some of these are nn the outside of the house, but the majority are Inside, and have such enormous fireplaces that there are seats placed in front of these, where one can look up and see the stars. I myself looked up and saw tho stars at Goodman Piper's house. I en- Joyed the roaring fires, anl at Good- man Higgins house I was shown how the fire is laid. My father tells me that we shall arrive at the Inn where we are to stay during our visit at Bod- well's Falls, tonight at sunset.

"Today I date my Journey from the Shawsheen tavern, which Is the name of the Inn where we are stopping. Last night when we arrlver here I was very tirel an>l the innkepper's wife, who Is a kind, motherly woman, brought me a lunch, and then took me up the broal staircase to bed. She was very kind, and tucked me in and seemed very ptleased when I complimented her on the feather bed, which was Indeed a boon to my weary limbs. I fell asleep Just as soon as she took away the candle. This morning I woke up early and. as is natural, axamlned my sur- roundings. My room is on the front of the house and overlooks a street which the Innkeeper's wife tells me is the Londonderry turnpike, a wonirous peculiar name. On the south side of the house Is another street, which is known as the Lowell road. I find that there are several buildings near us, a brick house, a store, and another inn, which, if I read the sign rightly, is the Essex house. I have occupied myself during the day with my embroidery and with a book which I have found In the inn parlor.

"I have this day remained at the Inn. My father has told me the object of his visit, that he has come here to witness the opening of the new Andover bridge, which as yet I have not seen. This will be opened tomorrow, the 19th, I expect from what I have heard my father and the innkeeper say, that there will be a most desirable celebration. I have been down in the kitchen today, with my new friend, the inkeep- er's wife. She has shown me all her pewter pflates, brought over from Eng- land, my father's beloved country. Also all her brass candlesticks and and- irons of which she has a goodly supply She has shown me all over her nous-1

which strikes me as very comfortable for these times. My father has told me that the rates here are most reasonable. A good lodging may be obtained for eight cents. I have noticed many people coming In on horses over

the turnpike- today. I must be now sprtadlng out my hue dress and hood for tomorrow's oelebratb n.

"I have just arrived home from the celebration. The street was very crowded and I should have experienced much Inconvenience had not my father lifted me up In his arms. The celebration was a m st brilliant one. The An- dover bri :ge itself was a modern structure resting on wooden piers. All of Essex's an 1 Rockingham's principal men were present. My father pointed them out to me. Also members of the clergy, the m'Hitla, the infantry and the cavalry took part In the procession, one very sad event ocurred. which affected us and spoiled the day's pleasure for me. A little boy who attempted to cross the guart was killed by a soldier w Ith his bayonet.

"This day my father anl I have been enjoying a tour of sightseeing. Flrot we went to fee various smalll dams on the Bplcket rlêr. another peculiar name. Then we went to a factory which Is situated on the Londonderry turnpike on the north side of the river. Here men were engaged in making

■piano forte cases. We also went to a Mr, Bodwell's. Here I was much im- pressed by the enormous chimney and by a tree which the gentleman told me was planted by a man Just returned from the French and In M.m war, soon after the fall of Quebec. The man had been paid for this deed by a quart of m< lasses.

"My father hap- been busy this day and I have spent much of my time with the innkeeper's wife. She has taken quite a fancy to me. She has told m** many interesting facts about this place She tells me that this country on this side nf the river Is known as Sodom, and across the river It is Gormorrah. Also that across the river Is known as the 'end the of the world.'. There ar-1

many pine trees around here and my frien I tells me that it Is often called the 'moose country.' She also has toid me many tales of Indian warfare, all of which are vastly Interesting and nas told me where an Indian burying ground can be foud. This I would much like to ivestigate but I have no time as we are to start for Boston in the morning at sunrise. Toil is probably the last chance I shaHl have to write In my Journal at the Shawsheen tavern which I am much loath to leave and which I shall not fall to make my mother and brothers acquainted with. I shall always look back upon the tavern, the Andover bridge, and the innkeeper's wife of Sodom with the greatest of pleasure and warmest of love."

A DEKV MYSTERY.

It is. a mystery why women endure Backache, Headache, Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Melancholy, Fainting and Dizzy Spells when thousands have proved tliat Electric Bitters will quickly cure such trouble. "I suffered for years with kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Phebe Cherley of Peterson, la., "and a lame back pained me so I could not dress myself, but Electric Hitters wholly cured me, and, although ~:\ years old, I now am able to do all my housework." It overcomes Constipation, improves Ap- petite, gives perfect health. Only 50c at Bliss's drug store.

t is easy to hustle when carried along with the crowd on a tidal wave of every" body's prosperity, and it is easy to be honest when honesty best serves our selfish desires, but it is the stick-to-it-iveness that hustles when others are discouraged and the never-let-up-iveness that does right at all times — because it is RIGHT that wins. The man who boasts of his honor to win patronage, promising to right any wrong that may occur In his business transactions, and then squirms because it costs him a dollar to keep that promise, "gets it in the neck." He thus destroys the very thing lie most needs in his business, namely: The unshaken confidence of the purchasing public.

LAWRENCE Important Arrest.

By the capture of William Hay ward uf .n;i So. i'nion street Monday nlgni, the police have unrave.led the mystery surrounding the attempt to chloroform Miss kaihei lne Cotter on Andover street uast Thursday evening. Unuer bonds of $1500, he now awaits the action of tne grana Jury, a self-confes*ei ciim.nal.

His captute Is an important one, for. according to his own confession, tne authorities not only nave a man who attempted hignuay robbery, but aUj the Individual wno < n two occasion* broke into the Watts laundry office, Broadway, wnere ne was at one time employed, and M<>.«* in all about $17. An account of hi* arraignment In police court this morning wl*l be found ,n another column of this paper.

The prisoner seemed more weak than wicked and the motive of his ciime appeals to have been to obtain money to settle his account with Company L, of which he is a member, and for which he had sold tickets to a recent entertainment, held un .er tne auspices »t that company.

On FrL.ajvthe day following the hold-up tin Andover street, the police became suspicious of Hay ward, and U;J to the time of his arrest last night, had kept a close watch of his hou*e. Last night he walked into the police station and demanded to know why his wife- was thus annoyed with detectives. His ruse i.ld not work and without any Te- lay he was taken into custody and was locked up. Later, upon. oeing put through a course of Questions, by Mar- shal O'Sullivan and Captain Sullivan, he at length admitted his guilt.

According to his own story, he was short in his account with Company L. His wife, he stated, had borrowed $5 for him, but even that did not make up the deficiency, and driven to desper- ation he resolved to commit robbery.

Jn his confession, Hay ward also admitted that he is the man who twice broke into the Watts' laundry office on Broadway and stole money. As he had at one time beenf employed there, he was perfectly familiar with the lay of the office and had no difficulty In fin i- ing the money. The first break was- made October 7th when $12 was stolen and the second, on December 21st when he appropriated $5.

As the authorities have had very little upon which to work, tne case was a very difficult one and great credit is due them for so qutcfciy unravelling the mystery.

Hay ward, who is about 21 years of age, Is not a veteran of the Spanish war, having become a member of Co. L since the return home. He has been employed in Kunhardt's milil In the dressing department and Is well known in this city. During the recent presi- dential campaign he was a member of the Naval Queens.

The case is a sad one, for the young man having j=pent money which war not his own, tried to make up the deficiency and having been unable to do so, legitimately, resorted to criminal means. It Is stated that when at camp with the boys he would at times aci as one possessed of not a remarkably strong mentality and that he never displayed a mind of his own, but was rather fled by the suggestions of his companions.

ALFRED SAGAR PROMOTED.

Weeping and sobbing like a child, William Hayward in his failure U secure $1500 bail, walked from his cell at t'he police station Tuesday morning to be transferred to the Jail. Almost con- tinuously during his confinement at the police station, he wept bitterly, and seemed to be heartbroken over his misfortune.

As the three charges against him a"e felonies, there Is little hope that he will be at liberty for some years to come.

In speaking of Hayward Wednesday morning, Asst. Marshal Houghton said: "He does not appear to be a hardened criminal, and he has very little shrewd! ness, for he Is willing to. tell anything that he ever did from his childhood to the present day. He does not seem to be lust right, but the attempt to rob Miss Cotter was premeditated, and a man who would do such an act Is a dan^eious man to be at liberty. I think it will go pretty hard with him."

Hayward now occupies a cell at the Jail, pending the convening of the grand Jury. There Is little hops of his securing bail.

Mrs. Hayward. wife of the prisoner, was seen yesterday by a representative of the Telegram, but s-he declined to talk about her husband's misfortune, saying.: "I would be the last to say a word about my husband, if he were the worst ciiminail on earth." She admitted, however, that even while the detectives watched her house, she never suspected that her husband was a criminal.

The attempt to chloroform Miss Cot- ter had been talked over with th-: neighbors, and little realizing that she was living with the man who committed the cowardJy crime, Mrs. Hay war I denounced the villain w ho took such advantage of the inferior strength of a woman.

After the attempted robbery, the Hayward house was kept under clos-e surveillance, for the investigations of the police lead to the suspicion of Wil- liam Hayward. The fact that detectives were about the house worrie 1 Mrs. Hayward and Monday evening her husband went to the police headquarters and demanded to know why his. wife should be thus annoyed. His ruse faile 1 and a few minutes of questioning was sufficient to draw from him a complete confession of his guilt. He was placed behlni the bars and not Hong afterwards, Mrs. Hayward was Informed that her husband was under arrest, suspectedJ of being the perpetrator of a heinous crime.

The blow was terrible, and she sought consolation at the home of a friend on Audover street, where she remained for the rest of the night.

Yesterday moi ning, with all the hop'- of a loving wife she startel for the police station, not knowing That her husband had a milled his guilt, and blinded hy her trust In him. she was confident that he would be allowed to return home with her. an exonerate 1 man. The truth was at last heard and nfter William Hay ward's arraignment and the Judge's disposition of his case, she returned home, grieved to the heart and astonished and dazed to learn tho true character of the man with whom she had plighted her troth and to marry whom she had sacrificed the consent of relatives and the approval of friends, and had turne I a deaf ear to their ad- monition.

For a' long time. Miss El hid Burrill whose parents reside In Nova Soil is, lived with her aunt. Mrs. Jacob Vatter of 242 Andover street and It was whll" there that her hand'was first sought by Wiflllam Hayward whose family is In England. JHIs suit II is said was dl.-- pleaslng to Mrs. Vatter and at length her nelee left the hom=e. owing to thel; differences". Last Labor Day they were united In matrimony and since th'-a ha I been most happy. They have re side 1 at 293 South Union street, in t tenement owned by Samuel Leake, for a little over a month and It Is sad In- deed that the lit tile home. Just gotten together, must bj broken up on account of the criminal acts of the young husband.

Getting Thin

is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already.

Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver

Oil. There are many causes of get-

ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: overwork and under-digestion.

Stop over-work, if you cans but, whether you can or not, take Scott's Emulsion cf.Ccd Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can't live on it—true—but, by it, y->u ran. There's a limit, however; you'll pay for it

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for "can't eat," unless it comes of your doing no work—vou can't long be well and strong, without some sort of activity.

The genuine has this picture on It, take no other.

If you have not tried it, send for free sample, Its a- greeable taste will surprise you. SCOTT & BOWNE

Annie Marshall was Indeed fair to look upon as she stood In the doorway that beautiful summer day and called In a clear, musical voice "Dinner."

She shaded her eyes from the glare of the sun and looked toward a grassy mound to the south, from over which she expected an answer. Soon the top and then Me wide brim of a farmer's hat appeared over the top, close behind it came another and the forms of two men appeared striding- rapidly toward fhe house. When Annie caught the first ailmpse she turned Into the cool kitchen and out a few finishing touetes to the table, on which the dinner was placed.

Just as she placed the warm apple pie on the table, an elderly man and a stalwart youth entered; she glanced up quickly and greeted her father with a smile and flashed one even brighter to the youna- man who stood nearly head and shoulders taller than the old man. Soon they were seated at the table and for some time the value of hay and the (food qualities of the new

■horse were discussed by the two men as they ate heartily of the well cooked dinner.

Suddenly the young main locked up and said to Annie, "You'll go to s'nging school tonight? You know the master Is Retting: ready for the midsummer concert." And receiving a reply in the affirmative he finished his dinner in silence.

The men that afternoon were at wok in the garden just behind the house, andi It was remarkable how many tlrre* John Anderson found excuse to go Into the house. The old man smiled to him- M*lf but said nothing.

Annie Marshall's mother had been an Invalid for three years before her death, so that 'her daughter had become accustomed to doing the household duties necessary In a farm house. Now It was nearly a year since the patient, loving mother had been laid under tre sod and Annie had nobly tried to fill her mother's place. John had received her dying blessing and to him she hid com- mended her daughter because Mr. Mar- shall was growing more feeble every day.

After the supper dishes were wa*ihe3 and put away, Annie prepared for singing school, because the midsummer concert was noted for miles around and she was considered the nightingale of the affair. Her brown curly hMr clus- tered around her pink and white fare, and 'her muslin dress flowed gracefully about her slender figure.

John Anderson -was indeed proud when he saw her and felt himself truly fortunate In having won her, for It was everywhere known that someday he would carry her off to his own new home just over the river. It was a beautiful night and t'hey loitered along down the turnpike talking of their n<rw home and how they would manage th's thing and that, until the log school house came into sight.

The practice went merrily on, mater- ially assisted by a handsome stranger with a beautiful tenor voice. He was dressed In the latest fashion and his black hair and mustache curled from recent application of oil. As soon as Annie had an opportunity on the way home Fhe asked. "Who was the stranger who sang tenor?" John frowned

slightly at her eagerness but calmly answered: "He is the new foreman at the dam."

"Oh! he will be here for the concert?" cried Annie.

"Yes," said John, and as soon as we get the hay in the lower meadow cut, I am going to work on the masonry, eo as to add a little more to our pile." and his arm crept lovingly around her waist.

The new foreman soon became a great favorite, the cynosure of all fem- inine eyes,, but to none did he pay more attention than to Annie Marshall. She sat near him at the concert practice and as John sang bass, he could not see the conversations which went on between them. Only once or twice was his Jealousy aroused, but Annie's calm explanation soon dispelled even these.

John's pile began to grow larger by means of the extra money he earned at the dam and as It grew he began to wish more than ever that Annie should share It with him B,O they decided that when the harvesting was over Anne should become his wife. Mr. Marshall was very sorry, but yet he could not withhold his permission.

One night early in September Annie and John strolled out into the moon- light and 'seated themselves in the grape arbor. For some time they talked over their hopes and plans as lovers are wont to do, and soon Annie's head fell onto John's shoulder and they sat In silence for some time.

The foreman that night wandered listlessly through the wood® and hearing voices In fhe grape arbor he crept up to an opening In the vines and looked in. He heard them discuss the date of the wadding and his wicked eyes gleamed with anger and his whole facs wore an expression of bitter scorn. Now and then a smile passed over h/s HOB as If some Impish thought had flashed' across 'his mind. "He will not marry her! He will not!" he muttered.

Next day when .John went to work the foreman asked him to do extra work at the falls as watchman, knowing full well that it would be a gieat temptation to add more to his fund. And John did it. and every night found the foreman strolling through the wood® to the home of the Mars halls. Annie at all times treated him civilly hut no more, and her apparent coldness goaded him to even greater revenge.

Each night John used to let himself down from the upper dam in an old scow by means of a stout rope to in,- spect the masonry all ready in position. The skulking form cf the foieman skirted the bushes for several nights, and his wicked eyes gleamed a^ r.e saw John creep down the river. Suddenly a thought flashed Into his mind and he chuckled to himself and muttered: "Oh, yes. "He'll marry her."

One evening several nights afterward the foreman crept along the coffer dam and stationed himself a short distance from the place where John usually fastened his rope. He waited for a long time but John did net appear, the etais and moon were coveret by heavy clouds and the stillness became unbear- able. He dosed for a few moments. but he started suddenly for he seemed to be drawn down by some suction force and as In a dream it flashed across his mini that the dam was giving way. He strove to pull the boat back, his eyes protruded from his head, the cords stood out on his forehead and his hands were cut and bleed.ng from the strain, but he was too late! With a mighty crash the dam gave way, Q s crafe was whirled and t< ssed ab>ut by the torrent anJ hurled onto the rocks below.

The next day his hat was found caught In some bushes by the bank and later his body was recovered, the wicked eyes still looking up toward the sky.

While the foreman was waiting to Fend John to destruction. John was anxiously seeking the foreman to tell him that the dam would not hold until morning.

The next day all the farmers from fre country around came to see the extent of the damage. Annie looked and clung to John, wh'le she breathed a fervent prayer of gratitude that he was safe.

On the twenty-first day of October the bells of the little church rang out merrily, proclaiming that Annie Mar- shall was no longer but that Mrs. An- derson was Just born.

HISTORICAL ANDOVER.

No. 105.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion that we have ever known.

It is because Vinol acts so beneficially upon the stomach that it accomplishes so much good.

Vinol contains the active curative principles that are found in cod-liver oil, without any oil or grease.

These medicinal elements act so favorably upon the stomach, that this organ obtains for itself the elements necessary for creating new flesh, muscle tissue and for making rich red blood.

When the stomach acts easily and naturally, a desire is created for good simple food and a good appetite is the sure result.

With cod-liver oil as formerly taken the medicinal elements which it contained were too often unable tc counteract the harm that was done by the obnoxious grease that enveloped them.

Now that in Vinol we have those same elements separated from the vile- tasting fat, we have a tonic and rebuilder that h* simply marvelous in its action

The following is a letter that will ex- plain itself:

"This is to certify that I have used six bottles of Vinol, and have found it of great value as an appetizer and tonic in general debility. I have received so much benefit from its use that I gladly furnish this testimonial in order that others may be induced to give it a trial and prove to themselves its recuperative powers."— Mus. Euz- AHI'.TH FKKHBY, Waterbury, Conn.

We want every one in this place to know more about our Vinol, how It cures and what It cures. Certainly the greatest tonic and rebuilder w * have ever sold.

We, therefore, cordially Invite any one Interested to call upon us, and we want all to bear In mind that we will gladly refund to any one who is not satisfied with the action of Vlnol every cent they pay for It.

ATTITUDE TOWARD WOMEN.

In reply to asserlions made about James Russell Lowell's attitude toward women William Dean Howells In a recent paper says:

"He loved chiefly the companionship of books and of men who loved b>oks; but for women general'y he had an amusing diffidence; he revered them and honored them, but he would rather not have had them about. This is over- saying it, of course, but the truth is In what I say. There was never a mo e devoted husband, and he was content to let his devotion to the sex end wl h that. He especially could not abide difference of opinion in women; he value I their taste, their wit. their humor, but he would have none of their reason. I was by one day when he was arguing a point with one of his nieces, and after it had gone on f. r some time an! the impartial witness must have ownad that she was getting the better of him, he clofed the controversy by giving 1 er ;i great kiss, with the words, 'You are a very good girl, my dear.' and piac:l- cally putting her out of the room. As to women of the fllrtati-ou* type, redd not dislike them; no man perhaps, does; but he feared them, anl he said that with them there was but one way, and that was to run."—New Y, rk Sun.

The Rogers' Brothers are now playing a four-weeks' engagement at the Illinois theatre in Chicago. The week ending December 24th their re- ce.pts were $14.634, breaking their own best record, the recuid of the Illinois Theatre anl the recurd of Chicago a'. the prices charged.

Kiaw & Erianger's production of ■'Ben Hur" has complete.y captivate.1 Boston and New England. The new C'l.inlafl theatre Is the Mecca of excur- sions from all over that section of the country. The exceptionally strong religious interest of the drama makes it very attractive to church people, from whose ranks it draws a very large percentage of the patronage. To refer to "Ben Hur's" receipts would be waste of space as they are notoriously the largest ever recorded by any dramatic production, either In this country or Europe. The box office in Boston Is as strong as in New York or Philadelphia.

Cheever Record of Andover.

William Cheever and Margaret Cul- verwell, daughter of Rev. Ezekiel Cul- verwell, in 1020, had a young son to place in the public school, and at the age of 12, Ezekiel Cheever was admitted to ChttTCh Hospital School and in lH-'il when Orandsire Culverwell died, received one third of a valuable library for the day. In 1633, he entered Emanuel College, Cambridge, and in 1037 fully equipj>ed, he crossed the Atlantic to train the the boys of New England, beginning in New Haven where he married his first wife, Mary, and where the six eldest children were born. He was noted early for having his own opinions on most subjects and a fearless way of delivering them, with a set of nerves that made it hard for him not to laugh in the wrong place. Some of these traits with a keen wit and dramatic manner of telling a story are comnion to other lines of Cheevers. He moved to Ipswich, making headway in securing the affection of his pupils, and to supply the place of the first wife who died in New Haven, he married Eleuor Lothrop, sister of Col. Thomas Lothrop of Beverly who with the "flower of Essex troop" fell at Bloody Brook in the Indian War. The Lothrop estates thus came to the children of Elenor, and Ezekiel's next move was to Charlestown where in the old church "Ezekiel's Scollers" sat in state in 3 -tews reserved, while less fortunate youngsters herded with the servants under a "tidy man." *

In 1070, be began to train Bostonese and there in the little school house on School street in 1708 at 114, he lay in state while the Governor and Court and suburbs listened to the funeral oration in LatiB« His Latin grammar super- seded that of Brinley's in use when he was born, and, passing through is edi- tions before the Revolution, was used for 100 years, Harvard holding the last edition issued 1838.

He died at the house of his daughter Susanna, wife of Joseph Russell, son of old *Robert of Andover, and the descendants of Susanna in the Russell line still hold high position in Boston social and business life. The children of Ezekiel and the grandchildren, in spite of two sons trained to the ministry returned to leather, and the great burners of Lynn down to 1800 include the line. ♦Thomas Cheever sent to Andover •Sarah, widow of Capt. William Roby, who was 2nd wife to Col, James Frye. Her son, Capt. Fred. Frye showed his fondness for classics by naming the eldest son Frederick Lucius Quintus Chu-innatus Frye in 1790. A daughter who married Win. Chad wick of Port- land sends us descendants here in summer trips to the old scenes.

Peter Cheever of Salem is well established as a brother of our Ezekiel, and married Lydia Haley in 1669 and was called a fell monger and glover in old papers. He married 2nd Mary Mackmallen in 1695 and left the twins Peter and Samuel born in 1078 and James and Mary by the 2nd wife,

•Peter inherited most of the homestead lots and was administrator of Ids brother Samuel, the mariner's estate in 1704. The links are not fully traced but "Peter of Salem married Sarah Mo- ses in 1740 and was father of a large family, one of whom *Peter of Salem came to Andover in 1800. He married first Margaret Ives, by whom he bad two daughters, Anne, wife of Win. Merriam, and Margaret, wife of John Flint. The 2nd wife was Martha Os- good, grand daughter of'Peter Osgood and Hannah Ayer of Andover and Sa- lem, daughter of 'Samuel Osgood and Abigail Walker, daughter of a Barba- does sea captain. Samuel Osgood was a currier himself and owned estate here in Andover and old Peter gave Martha the Aslebe farm. Peter ami Martha lived here near John It. Jenkins estate only one short year, when Peter died leaving the bulk "f Andover land to Samuel and James Cheever with liberal gifts to those of his so,is who had started in life before, Peter of Dcrry. N II., John of Boston, Nathaniel of Billerica, and Benjamin of Salem, with Martha wife of Samuel Very and Abi- gail Cheever who married a Perkins.

It is thought that John Cheever of of the Blue Hill branch who was born in Salem may have belonged to •Peter's descendants. His widow, Mix Betsy Gardner Cheever, was long a resident with us and gave one son to the cause, he enlisting from Haverhlll and dying in 1866 from sickness while in service. This family is represented today by the daughter surviving, Miss Ella Cheever who Inherits the business talent of the Gardner line and the tact ami friendly courtesy inherent to what Cheever stock 1 have become acquainted with so far.

The wife of ProfesM.r Tucker of Dartmouth College was a daughter of Henry Cheever of Worcester, and the late Samuel Raymond bom in Charles- town 1811, was son of Mary Cheever of Chelsea, whose father Joseph was a Revolutionary captain. None of these are our own Cheevers however.

James whose farm has been for years on the turnpike to Boston married Hen- rietta Wilkins of Billerica, while his brother Samuel married Sarah, widow of Capt. Holland (who ran a packet sen-ice to Baltimore) and daughter of Aaron Bhimpy of Marblehead a sea captain. Among other rare traits she hail marvellous skill as a cook and to her old age was called upon with a following of pupil- and neighbors' daughters to rater annually to the anniversary visitors. She had the art of roasting pigs and making cakes and pickles ami my father's family being neighbors have gained from her receipts.

Her husband Samuel for 17 years kept the toll house built for the purpose, and now occupied by James Hill. Then after the birth of the only children

Samuel 1824 and Benjamin 1827, they returned to the farm east of James Cheever on the old county road where Samuel now resides with his son-in-law Mr. Thouies. The aged Martha Osgood went back to Salem and finished her days with her daughter Mrs. Very. Samuel Cheever died early when his eldest boy was 11 years of age and Captain Stephen Abbott who was called to administer soon followed and 2nd Hannah (Russell) Abbott the widow- succeeded to the charge, and Ebeti Jen- kins became guardian for the boys. The inventory written by Uriah and John Russell and Moses Abbott was the best arranged thing I have yet found. All the old firms in town enter the long years of account, Swift and Cobb, Derby and Stone, Benjamin and J. Thompson Abbott, the local taverns for lasting, Ix>cke, Ward, Mayo and Morrison, and the Salem Gazette for County and the "Journal of Humanity" for our Andover local work. These women sell hay, timber, etc., and finally the old estate is divided and in the end Ben sold to Sain and commenced that wearisome round of moving that would have unsettled a less sunny temper than his. We all did it in the early part of this generation and I suppose It prei»ared the Yankee for emigration In 1840 westward. James Cheever held on to his acres and developed a fine farm and was a man greatly respected in his day. His son managed to be successful in peach culture often securing 125 bushels in a season. Either he or his father James Cheever began to trade in lumber, and if I am right James Chee- ver is a resident of Medford and still in the lumber trade. His sister Frances Ann married Joseph E. Holt of North Reading and with her sister Mrs. Han- nah Knowles is a resident here on School street often occupying the old farm house. Capt. Winslow Lewis Knowles died in Calcutta and Mrs. Knowles has one son of same name who has business located in Pittsburg.

Benjamin Cheever barely 21 married Betsy daughter of Jeremiah I latch from the Aroostook region of Maine and originally of Cape Cod family. She had two brothers in the army, Enoch killed at Petersburg and George wounded at Cold Harbor.

Samuel Cheever married I^ouisa T. Adams a sister of Mrs. Enoch Hatch, of a Middleton family. When many younger men held back, Benjamin Cheever at 37 with 7 children the eldest 15 the youngest only a year old, enlisted for the war with Company II in 1801 and his brother Samuel followed him in February 1802. He left at home a daughter of 10 who with her husband, Mr. Samuel Thomes now resides with her father on the homestead and her brother Charles is a resident of Wyoming.

Benjamin's fortune was that of the Andover men and he brought back malarial poison for his portion. Samuel had the luck to be taken at Spottsyl- vania in May 1H04 and in time was put into the prison pen at Andersonville. When he was exchanged later weighing 00 lbs. he met his match of stalwart "Reb" at 170 lbs. I wish that the stray Copperhead who may be left among us who thinks Samuel Cheever* s rather small pension too large, will l>e called to eat all Christmas week the potato parings that were greedily sought by our comrade, from the waste of more fortunate men, who had a bit of money to eke out the 1-2 pint of cob meal and two square inches of mouldy meat.

His aged mother lived to welcome her boys home and left us at 1)7 in 1877. In 181M* at 71 Benjamin, leaving with bis iife long mates the memory of a loving heart and keen wit, gave up the long struggle with environment that, makes life here a warfare to us all, and was gathered to the Eternal Home of the fathers. His daughters have happy homes in Stoueham where the mother is a welcome inmate. George and Sam. O., like their ancestor! for 31111 years are still busy with "leather," John Hooker is building up Oregon, and William is the much sought for clerk in our local department store who always has a smile for us no matter what the •weather* is within or without. For a week I have been telling old tales to an assortment of grand children, and if little Florence daughter of Samuel Os- good Cheever and a small man I call Philip at a venture are a sample of what all the cousins promise in powers. of attention, keen appreciation of what is best and a rare courtesy so useful in business life, why I prophecy new strength and courage for life's battles and prizes. The ancestor's eyes are on you all, young folks, to see how you carry the standard.

FRIDAY, JANUARY x8, Z901

More Complication*.

The selectmen are in receipt of a petition from the L. L, & II. street railway company, asking for a location on SaU'in street to the Andover and North Heading line. The design of the company is to connect with Salem by this route through North Heading and Middleton. Another company has already built a road from Danvers Asylum to the bounds nf Middleton and it is understood that that company will also petition for the Salem street location in Andover.

Tims another complication in added to the already puzzling street railway proposition in Andover. And we do not believe that this petition finishes the list. Others, covering lines to the West and East are possibilities, and each new one makes the question one which should demand very careful consideration.

The time seems to be pawed when such consideration can profitably take up the question in piecemeal; it must be considered in its entirety, and anone great force having a bearing UJMXI the best welfare of the town.

There are many Andover citizens who think that the multiplying of the street railway, in a community like Andover, is something which is detri- mental. We are inclined to think that the limit has been nearly reached for the best good of our town. A road to Lawrence, a road to Boston, a road to Haverhlll which is a part of a through line from Haverhill to Boston, these three would seem to be a sufficient outlet for the Andover travelling pul>- lic If a majority of the citizens think a direct line to Salem is also needed then it must come, but it would not seem at first glance to I e a vital need for the town.

The reception of the Townsman's suggestion last week, tor the revocation of a part of the L. L. & II. franchise, so as to allow a settlement of the Main street muddle, met with much approval. It would be a drastic step, but drastic abuses often detnaml drastic remedies. It is very' sure that the L. L. & II. railway have not served the Andover public so as to make them very great favorites in * petitioning for anv new favors.

Editorial Cinders.

It has come to such a pass on Main street lately, that if u passenger wishes to take a street car at a crossing, she (for it is always a woman who is most abused) is obliged to stand a few car lengths farther up or down the street. If she stands on the crossing itself and expects a inotorman to help her get into the car dry shod, she does not usually know her man. We are glad to chronicle exceptions to this rule, but the majority of the present force of electric railway public "rulers" are the kind who on the front end always stop in the biggest slush holes, and who 011 the rear end delight to shout "get on the other side of the car."

• •••• One of tint welcome announcements

every winter is that of Prof. Downs's annual course of Piano Recitals. The course this year is as entertaining as ever in its promise, and patrons of many years are always sure that in addition to entertainment they are sure to hear some of the very best ma-sters of the piano. Andover's music lovers are always debtors to Prof, Downs for this treat.

There is no church in Andover at least where the spirit is more pleasing in its sharing of the burdens than at the Free church. The. prompt payment of the church debt last Wednesday night was just what might have been expected from a body where each one feels he has a share in the burdens as well as the privileges. It is certainly the "brotherly love" church of And-

Tbe "Talks with Mothers," noted fully elsewhere, should attract a large audience, of those interested in child life in our town. The " (.uild" is doing a great "leal of this kind of work, but nothing in their long list of helps to the community has been of more value than thi> latest course by Miss Morley.

The many cases of grip and like sicknesses in town, move us to give our annual advice at this time, for the person who would do a large share toward keeping himself well, to keep his head cool and his feet warm. It won't always save from the illness but it will always help.

The John Cornell Legacy Pictures

Three pictures belonging to the Cor- nell collection hang upon the stairway- lauding, outside the Memorial Room of Memorial Hall.

No. 140 is ft view of Athens, showing the Acropolis, the ancient citadel. Within its almost impregnable walls the Athenians enclosed their most precious things, beautiful temples, statues and paintings.

At the extreme right of the Acropolis are seen the ruins of the Gateway and the tiny Temple of Wingless Victory, perched high among them. The massive ruin in the centre of the fortress is the Parthenon, the Temple of. Pallas Athene, or Minerva, which held .the famous gold and ivory statue of Athene, the work of I'beidias. One of the pictures in the Art Room, No. liftt, gives a modern artist's conception of the beauty of this statue, which was the pride of the Athenians and the marvel of the ancient world. When Athens was in its glory the whole area within the Acropolis walls was filled with temples, altars and statues, resplendent with color and gilding, of which little more than fragments can now be seen.

The temple below the Acropolis^almost in the foreground of the photograph, is what has been known as the Temple of Theseus, but is now conceded tube the Temple of Ilephaistos, or V11 Iran, a Doric temple in an unusually good state of preservation.

No. 141 is a photograph of the Hell- tower of the Cathedral at Cordova, Spain. Built originally as a Moorish mosque, in the 8th century, it was con- verted into a Christian church in the 18th century, at which time many changes were made in the interior architecture to conform to its new uses, and the Hell-tower was added. It IH of Ro- manesque architecture, rather heavy and tasteless, and contains a chime of bells.

No. 142 shows a portion of the Cloister adjoining the church of St. Paul's-outside-tlie-VValls in Rome. The church is built on the supposed site of the tomb of St. Paul and is a modern one, but the Cloister, part of a Benedict ine Monas- try, dates back to the 13th century. It encloses an open court, tilled with orange trees, and is a beautiful bit of monastic architecture. The twin columns, many of which are enriched with mosaic, are of infinite variety and grace. It is said that no two of them are exactly alike, some slight difference in ornament or form giving each its individual beauty.

Obituary.

MRS. LOZINA (GOLDSMITH) WALDO.

Daughter of a soldier and grand-daughter of two more Revolutionary heroes, Mrs. Loslna (Goldsmith) Waldo who died Sunday at the advanced age of 87 years, 11 months and 14 days, was connected in a large measure witn the two past centuries.

She was essentially a child of Andover for here she was born on Jan. 27, 1818, and here she has lived all of her long life. The deceased was the youngest of the 11 children of Jeremiah Goldsmith and Sarah Converse. When nineteen years of age she was married to Jonathan Waldo, July 29, 1KJJ2.

She is survived by six children, Mrs. Elizabeth Ward of l'eabody, John Waldo of Franklin, N. II., Mrs. Abbie Russell, j Mary, Sarah C, and Joseph Waldo of ; Andover. For three years Mrs. ! Waldo has resided with her daughters,1

Mrs. Abbie Russell and Miss Mary Waldo , in the Scotland district. Just before j going to her daughters' home she broke her hip and has been an invalid ever since.

Shortly after Mrs. Waldo moved, the house of her birth, the old homestead built by her father in 1H07 on the Bos- ton turnpike and at one time used as an inn, was burned to the ground.

Mrs. Waldo was one of the earliest scholars at Abbot academy, belonging to the class of 1882, of which she was a member for three years. In October 1 sini, the deceased joined the John Ad- ams chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Boston and was soon afterwards presented with a beautiful souvenir spoon. Mrs. Waldo was also a member of the Phoebe Foxcroft Phillips chapter, D. R., of this place. Her father took a prominent part in the Revolutionary war when a boy.

The funeral was held from the South church vestry, Thursday Afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. F. R. Shipman conducted the services and the remains were afterward laid at rest in the South cemetery where the family lot is situated. Among the floral tributes were beautiful ones from the chapters of the D. A. R. and I). A., to which she belonged.

GEORGE E. CARLTON.

Died suddenly of heart failure in San Francisco, Jan. ttth, George E. Carl ton, aged 77. He was a native of Andover, being the youngest and seventh son of John and Chloe (Karnham) Carltou.

He was for many years in the hotel business in New York City, going from there to California in the seventies to take charge of a hotel in San Francisco. He leaves a wife and one brother, Henry Carl ton, who resides in Oakland, Cal.

JACOB PEA BODY PALMER.

Jacob Peabody Palmer, for the last 11 years connected with the diamond department of Tiffany & Co., died on Tues- day from pneumonia at his home in New York city. His father established the firm of Palmer, Bachelder A Co., in Bos- ton. He succeeded his father in the business, and in ISSil entered the employ of Tiffany & Co.

Mr. Palmer was in his 00th year and leaves one daughter and two sons. He was formerly a member of Phillips academy and was a brother of Prof. George II. Palmer of Harvard university and of Itev. Frederic Palmer of this town. The burial took place on Thurs- day at Boxford.

After Treasurer John W. Bell of the Free church parish had made a report at the annual church meeting and supper of the society Wednesday evening, there- port showing that the parish had a debt of $4U0 caused by a balance from last year being carried forward and by some necessary but unusual expenses this year, Dea. J. Newton Cole arose and after thanking the members of the church for the honor they did him by re-electing him deacon, said be thought that the debt need not worry the church members any. He was of the opinion that the debt could easily be disposed of within ten minutes.

Then be displayed a board arranged with SO round openings, and a tray with HO *.'i gold pieces on it, just enough to cover the debt. He explained,that each gold piece would till one of the holes and said that a good friend of the parish hail given him live of these gold pieces to start off with. He put those rive at the top of the circle of, holes and said tli.it if the people present would till up the other holes to the bottom of the circle, this same friend would give five more gold pieces to complete the &41H). Mr. Cole also promised that for every ten $6 gold pieces that went on the board he would add one. Slips were passed around to the people at the various tables on which they could put down their names and the amount each was willing to give. But these slips were not needed. Quickly one gentleman spoke up and said "You may put in five of those gold pieces for me," then another added, "You may add two for me and two for Mrs. ." This started the ball rollingand in (6, $10.and $15 sums the board began to till up rapidly until Mr. Cole thought best to put in the additional five shining gold pieces promised by the generous friend to finish the sum required just toshow the people how few holes were left to fill. The Sunday school promised three fives and a little while later two more, a club of five gave one SO and in a few minutes the last gold piece was put up and the board was full. To Dea. Cole, and to the maker of the board, Dea. Stephen Jack- son, were given a vote of thanks for thus showing the people how to easily raise the money which is to be paid to the treasurer before next March, and the Doxology was sung.

All in all the supper and meeting was undoubtedly the most successful ever held by the church. At 0 o'clock the parishioners gathered in the auditorium where for an hour a social time was enjoyed. At 7.15 supper was announced and the gathering adjourned to the vestries where a tempting array of viands was spread upon five long tables tilling the entire vestry. An efficient corps of eighteen young lady and gentleman waiters saw to the wants of the 1«5 people who sat down to enjoy the repast. After blessing had heen asked and the song, "Be Present at our Table, Lord, "had been sung, everybody fell to and unti- eight o'clock the supper occupied the atl tention of all. Then the waiters retired to the smaller vestries to partake of their supper and the meeting began after singing "1 Ix>ve Thy Kingdom, Lord."

Rev. F. A. Wilson presided. Last year he was kept away from the meeting by sickness. The first business of the evening was the appointing of the following cominittes by Mr. Wilson:

Flower committee—Miss Martha Goff, Miss Mary Scott, Miss Susie Findley, Miss Marion Marnier and Miss Jean David.

The last two prepare a report evening.

Then the clerk of the church, ( ],...]. B. Baldwin submitted his report of th last annual meeting and it was listen*! to with great Interest. Mrs. MiniS Cole followed with the treasurer's rnoa which showed the church to be in I flourishing condition financially fJJi debt and with money in the treason Both reports were accepted.

Mr. Wilson announced that the term of one of the deacons expired and it would be necessary to ballot for a new one. He appointed Joshua Paine, Albert May, Walter Rhodes, David Lindsay and Charles Richardson as tellers to distribute ballots, and to collect ami count them.

The report of the Sunday school com. mittee was next in order and Mr. Wilson announced that the committee heartily recommended the report of the Sunday school as their report. The secretary Antoine B. Saunders, read a report which showed the number of members in the school during the year to have been 24(j' average number, 244; average attend! ance 179; largest attendance 22."i; small- est attendance, 50. This report was accepted as the report of the school committee.

Mr. Wilson next read the examining committee's report. Among other things it stated that there had been fewer ab- sentees during the past year than at anv time during Mr. Wilson's pastorate During the year 17 names had been added and 14 lost, making a net gain of :{. The number of church member on Jan. 1st, 11H)1 was 867. The Y.l'.S.C.E. was in a flourishing condition. There had been 12 marriages from the church in 1000 and only two members had died A touching tribute was paid to each of these two, Stillman Harnden and Mrs Margaret Saunders Duncan.

The nominating committee's report was next read by Mr. Bell and the repon was accepted and adopted. By this action the following officers were elected for the ensuing year:

The ballot for deacon resulted in the re-election of J. Newton Cole.

Mr. Wilson read the names of absent- ees who bad sent letters of regret and then came the report of the parish treasurer and the subsequent raising of the ♦400. After the,- Doxology hail been sung, Dea. Jackson was asked to lead in prayer.

Reports of the Ladies' Benevolent society followed from the president, Mrs. Minnie Cole, ami from the foreign and home missions department through Mrs. Wilson. The What-so-ever society reported through Mrs. Fred Goff. Mr. Smart offered the report of the committee on benevolences which was accepted after a suspension of «n« clause of the by-laws for the ensuing year.

A vote of thanks was extended to the ladies who had prepared such an excellent supper, particularly to the commit. tee, Mrs. Henry Russell, Mrs. Milo II. Gould and Mrs. Fred Goff.

The members of the parish were urged to attend the Parish meeting next Mon- day evening and the church meeting was brought to a close by Mr. Wilson, who after speaking a few earnest words, offered prayer ami' pronounced the benediction.

Last week the efficient secretary of the Indian Ridge association sent a notice of the annual meeting to the Towns- man editor for publication. It came, it was edited, it was supposedly put into line for publication but when 1 he insue appeared, behold it was not there. Where it has gone is not known, but it has vanished for aye. Now if anyone who wanted to go failed to know of the day and hour of last night's meeting, lay it to the Townsman and not to the blame- less secretary. And may the Townsman be fully forgiven for the unconscious lapse.

Talks With Mothers.

Andover mothers will rejoice to learn thai, under the auspices of the Andover ('uild, an opportunity will toon be given them for bearing' the taleuted author of "The SOUK of Life," in a course of six "Talks to Mothers," to be given at tne Guild house, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, at 4 o'clock, beginning with Jan. SB.

Miss Motley's title is, "The Renewal of Life; How and When to tell the Story to the Children." Miss Morley combines in a rare degree scientific education with the deep practical instinct of the artist, as every one familiar with "The Song of Life" realizes, and it is a matter of rejoicing therefore that all the mothers of Andover are so soon to have the help of her interpretation of nature given to them by Miss Morley herself.

The committee in charge has been greatly encouraged at the response to this movement and the practical interest taken in these lectures. The lectures are open to the public, but as there is still a deficiency in meeting the expenses, it is hoped this will be covered by small, voluntary contributions.

While the course is primarily for mothers, it is desired that teachers and any others who through their duties and interests would benefit through tliese talks, should be found in attendance.

This is a rare privilege. No matter at what sacrifice of personal comfort or time; no mother can afford to miss it. Miss Morely should have a large and appreciative audience.

Cold Shoulder at North Reading.

The L. h. & H. street railway want to go through' North Heading in their Salem street extension and have asked tor a location there. How the officials of that town look upon this "public servant" is shown by the following letter which has been sent by the selectmen in reply to their petition.

North Reading, January 17, 1901. lion. A. Jt. Bruce,■

President L. L. & II. St. It. It. Co. Dear Sir:—Your petition for a lo-

cation of tracks in No. Reading has been received but) before ordering a hearing on said petition our board desires to be informed by what authority your company claims a right to petition for said location. We had not supposed your charter gave you the right to operate in our town.

We cannot refrain at this time from saying that we believe that were it not for the direct and in-

direct opposition of yonr company, the cars of the Lawrence & Reading street Railway company would now be running to Andover centre instead of stopping on the hill. Such

' action on your part is a great detri- [ ment to the people of North Reading

and the public in general and is not destined to inspire the public confidence in your company. We must respectfully urge you to change your policy on this matter and gain the public confidence, then, you may share the words of praise which are daily given by thepublic to the Law- rence A- Reading company.

Very respectfully, SOLON O. HOLT JOSEPH I). OOWINU

Song Recital at November Club.

The regular meeting of the November club on Monday, Jan. 14, was in charge of the musical department, which arranged for a delightful song recital by the pupils of Miss Lena Little. The program, replete with gems from the musical realm, was enthusiastically received by the large audience at the club house. 'Twas evident that a wise choice of songs had been made, adapted to the particular singer, and representing the work of authors of various countries. The pupils gave evidence of their thorough training and of the artistic skill which has been guiding their musical career.

Miss Cora Forbes, Miss Bertha Barnes, and Miss Margaret Crocker were especially well known to the audience before whom they appeared last year at a similar occasion. Each wasgreeted with welcoming applause when she appeared once more before her last year's friends, and the other singers, all of whom were not entire strangers, also received a greeting upon their appearance on the platform.

The following program was delight- fully rendered:

Andover Hoy's Good Work in the

Ministry.

The brief note in last week's Towns- man, which stated that Rev. Frederick W. Manning had resigned hi* pastorate in Marshfield, told nothing of the good work and pleasant relations which were closed by that action.

An Andover boy, born in the atmosphere and inheriting the instinct of his chosen calling, it will not be surprising to his many Andover friends to learn that he has had a most sueeessf.il pastorate of nine years at Marshfield. He is now enjoying a rest at his old home on Porter street before taking up the new work which is sure to come and which his abilities and training so well tit him for. An interesting side light upon the change which Mr. Manning has made, is t he announcement which is just out, of his engagement to Miss Mary L. Details of Marshfield, at present a public School teacher in Brockton.

In Memory of Sarah Northey

Marland.

At the parish supper of Christ church on the evening of January 7, Ezra L Abbot read the following memorial.

Since our last parish meeting and within a few days, a venerable parishioner has passed from among us into perfect peace. Could she have lived and been able to he with us, Mrs. Sarah Northey Marland would have had the seat of honor. Mrs. Marland possessed in a tine degree ft sympathetic anil most lovable nature—charity for all, and malice to none. Although, owing to her in- firmities and declining years, she has been in retirement, her thoughts as she sat at that little parlor window yonder, carried her back to the days when our pariah was in its infancy. The old church is gone. The new is here, her interest was i" both, and in closing this brief tribute, I can but recall the lines of Whlttier.

LAWRENCE GAS CO., MUSGROVE BLOCK.

ANDOVKR, Jany. 18,1901.

I desire to say to the Citizens of Andover that the Law- rence Gas Company has opened a Branch Office and Show Room in the Musgrove Block, Andover, where we will be pleased to show our friends a full line of Gas Ranges, Gas Heaters, Welsbach Burners, and other appliances for the utilization of gas for Lighting, Cooking and Heating. And 1 desire to say in this connection that to save our customers from disappointment, 1 would urge them to order Gas Ranges and other appliances at once, in order that we may do the necessary interior work immediately.

Where orders for gas stoves are placed now, we will proceed at once with running thc„pipe from a point where the meter will be set to the position selected for the stove. This biing done, we will be in a position to supply gas to the

stove as soon as the main pipes are laid in tlie spring, but if our customers defer ordering until spring, I fear many will not secure their stoves as early in the season as they may desire. I therefore strongly urge that orders for gas appliances be placed at once, and thus prevent disappointment in the spring.

Orders will l>e attended to in the order in which tlicy are booked.

If not convenient to call at our office, drop a jiostal to the above address and our representative will call upon you.

Slipping was tine Sunday an 1 the weather conditions weie perfect. The eky was clear, the sun shone bright!/ and the air crl.-p. Jackson street extension, the Lawrence speedway, was the Mecca of the sport-loving fraterni- ty, although many of the fashionable turnouts were to be seen there. West street was also the scene of some (nap- py brush racing, but did nut seem to be as popular as last year.

The livery stables old a rushing business and every available rig was out. and by noon time almost aid of the sleighs were either let or promised. From racing rigs with booted and hop- pled prancing thoroughbreds and high acting cabs down to the bony skate and heavy draft horse were to be seen.

Crowds of peop.e afoot gathered along the side walks to see the brushing and the stylish turnouts as weil. They were not disappointed for some of the best brushing that Lawrence has yet seen was on the extension, and the handsome rigs were out in full force.

ASKS FOR SALARY.

FREE FROM DEBT.

Rev. Fr. John Gilday, pastor of St Patrick's church. South Lawrence announced at the last mass Sunday morning that the church is free from debt. The news has lung and eagerly been looked for by the parishioners and the fact that the church today, is clear uf aill nblfgahtlons Is due to the untiring tabors and the kindmess of Rev. Fr McManus and to the efforts of the present pastor.

Rev. Fr. Gilday further announced that within a year the church will have a beaultful new organ and a peal of bell Is.

It Is the intention nf the pastor it is staed. to have the sanctuary frescoed in order to make a mure beautiful surrounding for the magnificent marble a:-

The original St. Patrick's church wa = ■erected in lJfl>9 and mass was first cei- ebraetd In-it on Christmas day by Rev. Fr. Orr, who continued to attend the parish until 1S72. when Rev. Fr. James Murphy was made resident pastor. By his death, Rev. Fr. Healy, his successor realizing that the growing congregation could hot long be accommodated in the old building, matured plans for the foundation of the present edifice. The work thus begun, was completed by Rev. Fr. M. T. McManus and th« church which Is one . f the finest in the diocese, was dedicated with appropriate ceremony, June 17, 1894.

CIVIL SESSION.

The case of Patrolman Daniel W. Klmball vs. the city of Lawrence was called. Mr. Klmball sues the city for 1300 for services as milk Inspector in the years 1898-1899. and also $150 fur services as meat and provision Inspec- tor.

There were but two witnesses, Mr, Klmball for the prosecution and Ex- Mayor James Eaton for the city. At- torney Jeremiah J. Mahoney appeared fgor Klmball and Cfty Solicitor John P. Kane appeared for the city.

Daniel W. KimbalU first took the stand and testified that on Jan. IS, 1898 he had been appointed Inspector of milk, meat and provisions. He had gon» to Mayor Eaton and talked the matter over. The mayor had said that his object In appointing him to the position was to reduce the expenses of the office. The expenses of the previous year were $1000 or $1100, while that year they were but $20. The other conversation at that time was about the advertising of the department. The witness was at that time wagon man on the regular police officer at the police station under regular pay. He did not enter a bill after his year of service during 1898 and enttred no bill for his wages until 1899.

City Solicitor Kane then cross-examined the witness and he answered that he had no regular times to get his samples of milk. During the summer months he was obliged to get up and gte them from 2 until 6 o'clock In the morning. In the winter months he got them between 6 and 7 o'clock. He had visited the meat and provision stores during the hours that he was on duty as a police officer. He made but few trips around the meat and provision stores.

Ex-Mayor Eaton then took the stand. e said that he had talked with no one but Marshal Bailey before the appointment. He knew that Klmball did no: want the position. Klmball had tatlked about advertising. Had also stated that he thought he ought to receive compensation for his work. Had sab! nothing about salary. Had said that the city might at least fix his sidewalk free of charge. This conversation was in '99. Work was begun on the sidewalk In the fall but later left for a time.

The next conversation was at the end of the year 1899. Klmball had presented a bill for salary and Mayor Eat- on had advised him not to do so, saying that he would not approve it. He said that a bflU for extra time amounting to $50 or $75 would probably be approved The plaintiff had said that he wanted full salary. -^

Mr. Eaton also testified that the bills for the full salary of the two year* were put on hl» desk. He had at first approved the one for $150, but had afterward withdrawn his approval. Fin- ally Mr. Eaton said that he did not approve of any of the bills presented by Mr. Klmball. but had said that he thought a compensation for extra time was all right.

The decision was reserved.

THE COUNTY FINANCES.

MUST SUPPORT HER.

At a session of the superior court In this city Monday Judge Harmon Issued an order that Robert L. Berry pay his wife Amelia $100 and $15 per month.

Mrs. Berry testified that her husband left her last June and that she had not heard from him directly since then. She has been told that he is In Philadelphia.. Mrs. Berry told the judge that Just before her husband disappeared he took her away to visit a friend. He returned home she said, packed up his effects and departed In her absence.

She said she could produce evidence to show that her husband had stated that he never Intends to live with he> again. He owns a half Interest in a four-tenement block, she said, and a half interest In a cottage. Lawyer Dow represented Mrs. Berry.

CHOIR BOYS' OUTING.

The members) of the boys' chair of the Grace church had a Jolly time Wed- nesday afternoon and evening through the kindness of the pastor, Rev. A. H. Amory. and members of the church.

In the afternoon the boys enjoyed a slelghrlde to Andover and North Ando- ver and returning about 6 p. m., they sat down to a turkey supper in the Parish house on Garden street. After the sumputous repast the young folk* spent a most enjoyable evening, playing games and cutting up pranks about the house.

The boys are given a similar good time once or twice each year, and it la an event to which they look forward with a great deal of pleasure, for they know that on each occasion something good Is In store for them.

JAMES BOYD GONE.

James Boyd of 103 Newbury street left his home, his wife, and ohlld ab ut 2 o'clock last Thursday afternoon an has neither been seen nor heard from since. Mrs. Boyd states that her husband has no friends or relatives wltn whim he would be stopping and, as it Is the first time, to 'her knowledge, that he ever stayed out over night, she Is of the opinion that he may have ended his life.

"He has been discouraged for some time and on several occasions has spoken of doing away with himse f. ' she stated this morning to a representative of this paper.

Unable to obtain work, Mr. B>yd has been loafing about two months when at length his wife obtained employment for him in the International Paper Co's mill. He worked there about a week and upon returning for dinner last Wednesday, he informed his wife that, as he did not like his Job, he was not going back to work. "That nig.u." said Mrs. Boyd. "he came home pretty full, and I t Id him that since I had obtained the Job for him, I would havo him arrested lf>e did not work. The following day he left the house and that is the last I have seen of htm."

The matter, she states, was report d to ofiber Spranger who replied. "Oh. he'll turn up." Up to this noon Mrs. Boyd had not notified the police but expressed her intention of doing so.

BROUGHT GOOD FORTUNE.

A Minill item in bis own paper lately brought amazing good fortune tu Editor (liiis. Reitter, of the Saginaw (Mich.) Post and Zeitung. He ami bis family bad the grip in its worst form. Their doctor did them no good. Then he read that Dr. King's New Discovery for Con- sumption, Coughs and (olds was a guaranteed cure for La Grippe and all Throat and Lung troubles; tried it and says: "Three bottles cured the whole family. No other medicine on earth equals it." Only 50cand *1.00 at Hliss's drug store. Trial bottles free.

SEEKS REMEDY.

In accordance with a plan of action determined upon Tuesday. City Solic- itor Kane and Mayor Leonard went to Boston today and presented the mattar of the deadlock in the city council to the supreme court, in a petition re- questing the court to take such action as will enable the city to conduct its business in a legal way.

A hearing in regard to the matter wiil probably be held soon. It is the hop-- of the Democrats that the court wiil order the Republican councilmen to attend the meetings- of that branch.

In Mayor Leonard's opinion the;e should be some means of preventing situations similar to the one which con- fronts the city today. His Honor toll a reporter Wednesday that he does no.t seek any action of the courts com- piling Republicans or Democrats t& «!o this or that, unless by so doing the city will be able to proceed with the transaction of Its business. He simply wants a way pointed out in which the city can legally conduct Its business. The Mayor said that It seems to him there ought to be some remedy for the present difficulty, and that that is what the court Is asked to give.

FAITH IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Lena Sherman, aged 40 ytar?. wife of C. A. Sherman, and sister of Mrs. Fred A. Wilbur, died suddenly at her home 12 Florence street Wednesday. She was a believer In Christian Science. Mrs. Sherman had been sick for months, but had no regular physician called to attend her. being content to accept the treatment of Christian Scientists. Yes- terday she bad a hemorrhage, which ie-ulted In her death.

The de.ith return at the Board of Health office gives phthisis as. t,.e cause of death and Dr. Reed, as the attending physician. At. Dr. Reed's, however, a representative of this paper was informed this morning that the doctor had m t been summoned until after the woman was supposed to be dead.

Morse: prudential committee, Mrs. Sarah Davis, Mrs. Emma Merrill and Miss Hattle Stevens. Entertainment, literature, calling and various other committees were chosen to assist in* carrying on the work of the society, which now numbers 52 members.

A we:n attended meeting of the Me- thuen Historical society was held Mon- day night in the society rooma In the Tenney building. This was the time for the regular annual meeting for the election of officers and transaction of business, but on motion of Mr. Mann, the business meeting was deferred until two weeks from Bast night. Old-fashioned blankets, presented to the society by Mrs. Mary Hayes were accepted, and a vote of thanks extended to the donor. President Sidney Howe then introduced Former Mayor Robert H. Tewksbury of Lawrence, who entertained the society for an hour by reading u paper on the "Changes an 1 Transformation of the 19th Century." The paper waa one of the best ever read before the society. It was highly instructive and interesting, well written, and most pleasingly de.ivered. The wl'- ty turns of phrases with which the speaker enlivened his discourse, kept the audience in good humor, while there was plenty of solid thought to keep the mind of the listener busy. Mr. Tewksbury made a general review of the transformations that have taken place during the century, contrasting the conditions of the present time with those of the past.

He spoke first of the growth of the country, referring to Methuen as having only a few farm houses at the opening of the 19th century, and com- pared it with the present time. The customs of those days were far different, too. No beards were worn, and a mustache was an abomination, while in dress and domestic habits the man was far different than now. The customs and dress of the womankind were described in a most pleasing and entertaining manner, showing his master of diplomacy as well as essay writing In touching upon this question which he approached "with fear and trembling," for he succeeded in winning the good will of the ladies present.

After touching upon the transformation in domestic life, he spoke of the changes In religion. In this he considered .he greatest transformation to be the departure from the superstitions of the past, and the greater freedom an 1 better accommodations now enjoyed in worship, and the more liberal views taken on religious subjects. Proceed- ing to the subject of law he found much upon which to congratulate those living at the present time. The laws of the beginning of the 19th century were made, it would seem, to enslave the masses. Now they are made to give them greater freedom and more right. Even In death there are changes In the mode of burial, and now an elegant casket is used Instead of a broad coffin for the repose of the dead. The transformation has been no less marked In the departments of medicine, travel, manufacturing, and In fact, all walks and paths of life. The wonderful In- ventions of this decade are beyond the dreams of our forefathers, who could not have conceived of the telephonr, telegraph, electric power and such In- ventions.

One of the things which was looked forward to by those of a century ago. was that peace mleht reign on earth at the close of the one hundred yearn- But this is not the case. The mode of warfare has indeel been revolutionized as £o many other things have, but the Fame spirit of hostility among na- tions remains. The lion and lamb might lie down together, but when they arose the lamb would be inside the lion. The speaker drew the conclusion from the review of the century, that in ail things there has been great progress made toward a higher civilization and a higher Christianity. At the close of his discourse he was heartily applaud- ed. A vote of thanks was extended Mr. Tewksbury by the society for his excellent paper. The meeting adjourned shortly after 9 o'clock.

THE ItKAKNKSS OF BUTTER.

one of the most eminent authorities on consumption, Dr. Hughes Bennett nf London, made the remark tliat "The main causes of consumption are the (learn ess of butter and iho abundance of pastry cooks." It is evident from this that the doctor believed that the poor and underfed are unable to obtain sufficient fat, while the digestion of the wealthy class is upset by their rich pastries HO that 1 bey do not assimilate the proper amount of fat. In either case it is a question of fat. We must have fat in some form cheap enough for the poor, and easy enough for the en- feebled digestion of the rich. Cod liver oil in its crude condition is both too difficult, and too unpleasant for any one, hut in the form of Scott's Emulsion as manufactured by Scott & Bowne, it is not only easy to digest, and pleasant to take, but acts as a medicine in purify- ing the blood, as weli as the very best kind of fat forming food.

A policeman going by the Musgrove about one o'clock the other morning was just tn time to see a well dressed man escape from the rear door of Alien's drug store. He immediately went after him on the dead run ami soon had him cornered. At the police station all that was found on him was a bottle of a proprietary medicine. The prisoner told the policeman that he was driven to make the break by the serious illness of a little daughter whose racking cough was driving its parents to distraction. "I had some of this Tolu Tar and Wild Cherry cough syrup at Allen's," he said in a voice shaken by emotion, "and when I found that—the place was closed I thought—I could—get quietly in and away again." Upon investigation il was found he left a note and twenty-five cents for the druggist. This Balsam, you know, heals the inflamed membrane and soothes the irritation of the breath- ing passages. It contains no chloroform, morphine, opiates or any injurious sub- stances and promptly cures a cough and acts as a tonic to the system.

A BOSTON HERALD SCOOP.

.lust as an indication of the way in which The ItoMton Herald leads all other Boston papers in news, the recent death of Queen Victoria is one example. The Herald announced her death on its bulletin twenty-five minutes before any other Boston paper got the news, and Herald extras were selling in the out- lying districts of the city before the other papers hail the news confirmed. The news service of the Boston Ueratd while it iniisi cost an enormous stun each year, is unrivalled in New England.

Annual Meeting- Andover C. E. Union.

The annual meeting of the Andover C. K. Union was held in the Union Con- gregational church last Tuesday evening.

The church was rilled to overflowing with large delegations from the South, Free, West, Baptist and North Andover societies. There was also a large delegation from the local Kpworth League present. The meeting was called to order at 7.40 by Daniel H. Poor, president of the union, and the program followed: Singing by congregation; address of welcome, Albert Greenwood, president of the Ballardvale society; scripture reading, Rev. Edwin Smith; prayer, Kev. Charles II. Atkins; a'nthem by the choir; roll-call of societies ; reading of minutes by the secretary; report of treasurer; awarding the banner; singing by congregation; address by John Willis Baer; singing, "Blest be the Tie." The "Mystic (late" social followed.

The church was decorated very prettily and presented an attractive appearance. Mr. Greenwood very eloquently extended a hearty welcome to all present. The report of the treasureMhowed the finances to be in a nourishing condition. The nominating committee brought forward the following list of officers for the ensuing year and they were unanimously elected by the union: President) Miss Florence I. Abbott ; secretary, Mrs. .1. II. Smith ; treasurer, William Trow. A vote of thanks was extended to the retiring officers.

The banner was awarded to the North Andover society for having the largest percentage— viz.—74* of members present at the consecration meeting. The address of the evening was given by John Willis Baer, general, secretary of the unite*) c. K. societies. It was a model address being very practical and to the point, and aroused great spirit and enthusiasm.

The "Mystic Cate" social which followed was the must successful ever held by the union notwithstanding the fact that the vestry was considerably crowded. Cards were distributed as the people entered and after partners had been found the couples proceeded to march through the "Mystic (iate" where a tableaux of the Three Fates confronted them. The Fates presented a very wlerd ami enchanting appearance. At a booth nearby, each one received a prophecy of his future destiny as a souvenir of the occasion.

Refreshments were served. It was unanimously agreed that it was the most successful meeting ever held by the union.

Itev. Chas. F. Kobinson, a very eloquent and forcible speaker will preach at the Methodist church next. Sunday forenoon at 10.80 o'clock.

Successful Performance By the Twenti- eth Century Minstrels Last Friday

Night.

"Red and Vsllsr Catch a PeUar."

Whether or not such was the intention of the young ladies participating in the up-to-date, In other words and to be more explicit, the Twentieth Century minstrel show at the Town hall last Fri- day evening, at any rate they were all dressed in black with furbelows of either red or yellow. The end ladies were giddy in short black satin skirts, with trimmings of gold braid, waists with black bodice and red bolero jacket, ornamented with gilt fringe. The chorus ladies were black from the sides of their feet to the tops uf their heads, with the exception ot the wide yellow sailor collars which they wore. And "black as the ace of spades" would be very appropriate as a description for the men of the chorus who wore no colors to relieve the sombre tones of their clothes and faces. The end men, however, were iiashily dressed, enough so to make up for any deficiency in this respect among the other performers. They wore long white coats, faced with red, green trousers striped with white, red vests, pink checked shirts, and red socks. With their big flaring dick- ies, they looked the "real thing."

When the curtain rose at quarter after eight the hall was crowded to the doors with an appreciative audience. The stage was arranged for a good, old fashioned minstrel show, with a circle and chorus in crescents behind on elevated platforms. No great attempt hail been made at decorations and tlags were all that were used, with draperies at the doors. The chorus was discovered standing and as the curtain went up the interlocutor, end men and ladies entered and took their places.

The opening chorus, "Minstrels De- light," was a lively one Introducing a number of popular colored songs including, "Way lJown Yonder in the Corn- field," "Itearest Maiden," and "The Colored Four Hundred." The premier end men, Ueorge A. Higgins and William L. Frye, who took the leading places on the ends with only a week's notice, got in at this time some of their old time liveliness with the bones and tambo, just a sample to snow what they really coulu do if the conditions had been favorable. Through the evening Mr. Higgins and Mr. Frye, especially the former, kept things sizzling and rescued the performance from too much sameness which was its principal fault. Too much credit can not be given to these gentlemen for participating as they did in such an excellent manner with only a week's time in which to learn their songs and jokes, and familiarize themselves with the songs of the other end men and ladies. During the opening chorus the end men ami ladies Introduced a cake walk and waltz.

A few jokes were sprung and then In- terlocutor Trefry announced that George A. Higgins would sing "Pliny," which lie did in his own inimitable manner to the great delight of the audience. His motions and expressions follow out the customs of the old school minstrel singers who are not copied much by the present day amateur performers, unfortu- nately, lie made a decided hit with the song and was presented with a handsome bouquet.

Then came more jokes, in fact they were sandwiched in between every song. Miss Margaret C Donovan sang "My Lady Lit" with excellent effect.

Frank Brennan sang /'The Latch- String's Always Hanging Out for You'' very successfully and like his predeces- sors was obliged to respond to an encore. More jokes were sprung by Miss Jennie Driscoll. During Mr. Brennan's song a young and apparently good looking oolored lady, who was ushered to a con- spicuous seat in the front row, attracted* a great deal of attention.

"Just Because She Made Dem Goo-Goo Eyes," was sung splendidly by John Lynch. In fact it was sung almost too well because he had the misfortune to catch the eye of the young colored lady on the front seat to whom he was evidently addressing his song. She stood it for a little while then got up and, after expressing herself in no mild language, flounced out down the aisle saying that she "wau't going to stay there to be in- sulted by no blacked up trash." That she did not frighten the performers was apparent from the cry of "rubber" which rebuked the stretching necks of the audience. Kumor has if Frank Moynihan might be able to give the curious some information regarding the strange colored lady.

End-man Frye told how Alice N'olan had tried to make her hen lay hard boiled eggs by poring hot water down the hen's throat and then Miss N'olan sang "I Couldn't Stand to See My Baby Lose," splendidly.

Mr. Higgins explained that the only difference between the devil and Chief Frye is that when the devil gets a person he takes them to Fry(e) and when Frye gets them he takes them to jail. (<us .N'olan was called upon to sing "Mandy Lee ' which he did in his usual excellent manner. "While Old Glory Waves" was well sung by Miss Mary Mc- Manua. The audience learned that Dr. IILI 11nt* usually made one think of a farm because "he's always digging stumps."

Assisted by his partner on the opposite end, William L. Frye sang "Lam, Lain, Lam," setting the audience off into a roar of laughter. Mr. Frye was also presented with a big bouquet. This was one of the most comical songs of the evening.

Jokes came in thick and fast from the different end men. Among other things interlocutor Trefry was informed that he must not hang around the depot as the engine was liable to make a mistake and run into his mouth, also that the Lawrence df Reading road was profitable as there were "no horses and the people hoard the cars."

Mrs. Dora I.edwell'ssplendid voice was heard to excellent effect in "Merrily I I.oaiu." Mr. Trefry sang "My Itlack Tulip" and his song was followed by a little by-play between the two premier end men in which "Dude" drew a mam- moth razor on "Chuck" ami threatened to carve him up. Miss Jennie Driscoll was cute in "Little Black Me," and "Every Race has a Flag but a Coon" was rendered by I). O'Brien with a few dance steps thrown In. The first part closed with a song by the entire circle and chorus, entitled "Coonville Itaud."

A joke that did not "catch on" very well was sprung during the first part by Mr. Higgins. He was apparently looking for something and when asked what it was said that he was hunting for his shares in the Andover Gas Company.

! Mr. Frye informed him that perhaps Mr.

Barnard could tell him where they were. Another good one was that in which it was related that Barnett Rogers went into O. P. Chase's store recently to buy some papers for a week back, but Mr. Chase wouldn't sell them to him, sending him instead to Mr. Bliss for a porous plaster.

The second part opened with an overture by the Andover Band orchestra. "Oftentimes" was well rendered by Miss Julia Cullinane and Miss Edith Higgins followed with an excellent rendition of "If Dreams Come True."

The end ladies sang a medley chorus, introducing "Souaa Girl," and a drill. By special request John Lynch sang "My Moon Beam Lady," and the orchestra played a selection closing the performance.

It may or may not be caused

it is, you will cure it; if not.

you will do no harm.

The Sons half-fltted coats of Empire or Raglan pattern are generally worn this winter as evening wraps, but there are also the sleeveless garments of broadcfloth which are made specially for the purpose. These are a full lengtn or three-quarters garment with a eet of small capes or a large bood over the shoulders, and they are nearly always fur-trimmed or fur-lined.

The handsomest fur-lined garment to be seen this year is a Louts XV. affair of white embroidered1 cloth lined to UW hips with ermine, and below that with pink broca ie. The trimmings which border the high rolling coilaflr and front are Russian sable, and tnis with the lace scarf Is immensely rich. The embroidery which is traced about the entire skirt of the cloak is gold with each flower done scQid. and the collars are tinted with pink and blue and wide flounces of accord ian plaited chiffon fluter under the bottom of the wrap and In front. This garment is of the cloak pattern and has the Louis XV. sleeves, but there are other sumptuous evening wraps which are nothing but capes: One is entirely of Renaissance lace over light blue panne. It has trimmings In the peilerine effect, and a scarf of cross fox Is laid about with stole ends which reach to the floor. The yoke and high collar are of white satin embroidered In blue chenille and silver spangfles and there is a Jabot of rich lace at the throat.

It is really too bad. as one hears it remarked so often in the winter season, that the regal beauty of some of the evening wraps should be known only In the cloak rooms where they are at once removed and straightway folded inside out until! the wearer would don them when the ball is over. Their costliness in many cases surpasses that of the gown underneath and the very fact that they are worn outside of everything else affords opportunity for the richest sort of garniture.

Among the shorter wraps which have much the same grace of outline is the old doflman. there are some handsome garments of silk an 1 satin, richly em- zroidered. One in black had large As- uri'ee of white silk embroidery scattered over it. and another of white satin was covered with white broadcloth ap- plique. This is one of the daintiest evening wraps vt the season and thiee 1 ice frills which encircle the cape make an exquisite finish.

Hut in whatever form one has an evening wrap, the favorite material of this year is cloth, rather than the velvets. or embroidered silks which were in

vogue a season ago. The regular opera wrap of circular effect is always of broadcloth, end the colors are generally red, a mode shade or gray. There are some In the new rose and crimson shades. One of a rich old rose color was made with three capes, each em- broidereu in gilt, and topped with a Medici oollar of velvet. Nearly all the wraps- have fur around the neck and down the front, and any kind of fur from the white tippett to the soft mouf- flon or martin, and sometimes Russian sable edges the garment. For the fur- lined garment the squirrel skin is always used, its 3oft gray and white blending pleasingly with the gray cloth which generally forms the outside. The new fur scarfs are worn effectively with the evening wraps, and sometimes the collarette is adapted In its construction, and again the old fashioned pelerine, which is revived this winter is used as a wrap. The ermine shoulder cape Is extremely picturesque for this purpose, and is made usuaflly with a yoke and collar of ihe olack-spotted fur with white fox to face the collar, and form the frill from the shoulders It is ornamented in front with two large heads, and the stole ends full to the bottom of the gown in front.

Any of the fur capes of this pattern are good for evening wear, but the beautiful cfloth wraps are a more complete protection.

THE INSIDIOUS BEGGAR.

A little blind boy came knocking, when bitter and long the night.

And he said: "Let me in, for every one's mocking.

They say It la foolish and perfectly* shocking—

My pitiful want of sight.

"And yet I can shoot an arrow,"—he rapped. "I pray that you hark.

Its flight Is swift aa that of asparrow, Its dart can pierce to your very mar-

row. And I never have missed my mark.

"If I am blind, how can I be knowing the way this night unto you?

There's never a beacon eet for my showing.

And yet I can tell past all foregoing. That the shade of your eyee is blue.

"If I am blind, how may I be telling that nowhere else on the earth

Save in your heart can I make my dwelling.

Whither my feet have been Impelling, Since the swift, sweet hour of my

birth?"

The little blind boy ceased knocking, for the door It opened—'tie true;

And he laughed: "One thing,—lest the door you'd be locking,—

One thing I've to tell,—it le perfectly shocking,—

I am blind unto all save you!" Virginia Woodward Cloud.

The charming "Crauford" folks have been written into a play, and make their appearance in the February Ladl?*1

Hi,me Journal. Even more dramatic is "The Beautiful Daughter of Aaron Burr," with her romance, her supreme happiness and crushing sorrows all crowded Into a few years. "The clock by which we Set all our Watches," "The Buffaloes of Goodnight Ranch," "A Woman to Whom Fame Came After Death," "The Life of the English girl," are features of interest. The last of "The Hlue River Stories" is published in ihe February Journal, and tlie "Story of a Young Man" is nearlng its conclusion, while "The Successors of Mary the First," increases in humorous interest. "Is the Newspaper Office the Place for, a Girl?" Is the theme of Ed- ward Bolt's editorial symposium, which is made peculiarly convincing by the opinions of editors and newspaper women. Caroline Leslie Field writes of "The Problem of the Hoy"; Helen Wat- terson Moody, "The Trying Time Be- tween Mother and Daughter" ; and "An American Mother," "Why One Man Succeeds ami His Brother Fails" "A Home in a Prairie Town" and a "Brick and Shingle Farmhouse" give architec- tural plans and detail.

A policeman going by the Musgrove about one o'clock the other morning was Just in time to see a well dressed man escape from the rear door of Allen's drugstore. He Immediately went after him on the dead run and soon bad him cornered. At the police station all that was found on him was a bottle of a proprietary medicine. The prisoner told the policeman that he was driven to make the break by the serious illness of a little daughter whose racking cough was driving its parents to distraction. "I had some of this Tolu Tar and Wild Cherry cough syrup at Allen's," he said in a voice shaken by emotion, "and when 1 found that—the place was closed I thought—I could—get. quietly in and away again." Upon investigation it was found he left a note and twenty-five cents for the druggist. This Balsam, you know, heals the In Hawed membrane and soothes the irritation of the breath- ing passages.

Does Andover Need Any More Electric Railways?


The Wonder

is the marvellous mechanism of the human eye. Hut so carefully has it been studied that the most serious as well as the slight- est defects can be remedied. We advise, liowiver, immediate attention upon the discovery of any trouble with the eyes. Perfectly adjusted pastes are probably all they need. These we tell you.

It looks very much as if the time had conic when the citizens of tins town could consider Mich a. question us the above with a good deal of profit. Not a week passes but that some new scheme is broached, or wane pet idea exploded, in which the central ligure is some proposed street railway extension. At the present rate of in- crease, every highway from the square to the north, south, east and west will soon be given up to this hydra headed monster. Not an important road in the town will be free from the nuisance and Andover will have passed from the place id" residence, to a junction of the trolley system.

We are free to say that we do"not hail the prospect with any great acclaim of joy. dust as long as the railways are servants of the community, aiding in its development, promoting its best growth, and advancing its permanent welfare, just so long should they be approved and encouraged. But they are nearly beyond that place even now, and where they will he if a few more lines are added, is very difficult to predict.

The passage from a benefit to a nuisance is very easy when it is taken on a trolley car and we sincerely hope thai the selectmen will save the town of Andover from any such passage.

In what way can Andover better show its approval of the high character and noble qualities of the state's late governor than by a widespread interest hi the memorial fund referred to elsewhere? His was just the kind of a life that Andover standards approve and that Andover citizenship loves to honor. The opportunity does not call for great gifts, in fact large stuns are not wanted, hut it should arouse a desire lo share in the homage paying to a great .and good life in the heart of every Massa- chusetts citizen. We hope that no Andover citizen will give over a dollar, and we wish a thousand might give live cents or over.

Next Friday comes the hearing at Boston upon the protest of town counsel Win. OdUn against the location granted by the selectmen to the I>aw ivme and Heading railway on Main street. There are lots of holes in the ordinary skimmer and a great many Andover citizen- can probably attend next Friday's hearing with profit to themselves and the town.

Plant Novelty at Milletfs.

If it were possible to publish the attractive illustration of the latest novelty in winter plants, that is being offered by Milled the florist, it would be unneces- sary to say anything further about it to make it of interest to plant lovers. Hut the Townsman is not printed in colors, and so the Japanese Fern Hall can not be shown In its dormant tone of dull red brown or in its brilliant green foliage after it begins to grow. Little care required a in] splendid results assured should make the demand very large for this beautiful window plant. A postal to Millett brings the whole story.

The second annual meeting of the Indian Kidge association was held in the Town hall, Thursday evening, .Ian. 17, 11H) 1. 'I'hrough the courtesy of the superintendent of schools, those preAnt were invited to use the School Commit- tee room. Had a public notice of the meeting been given, that room might have been too small, and then thanks would have been due to the selectmen fni the use of the lower Town ball. Considering the handsome apology for the omission of the notice from the Townsman, no more need be said about it.

The meeting was called to order by the president, ami the various reports were read and accepted. The treasurer's report showed a balance of (49*16 i" the treasury, $25 of which had been given for the improvement of one of the entrances to the Heservatiou.

The five retiring members of the Hoard were re-elected for a term of three years, viz., George Kfpley, Walter Buck, B. N. Carter, M. K. Hoberts, Alice Hack. Charles J,. Carter was elected to till the unexpired term of two years of Prof. Churchill.

Howard II. 1*. Wright was elected to till the unexpired term of one year, of Albert Poor, Esq.

The first thought of all was the great loss in the death of these two officers who hafl from the very first shown such enthusiasm for the acquisition of the Heservatiou, and had given so generously toward it. Memorials to both these officers had been put on the records and sent to their families.

It had been agreed that the pleasantest way to keep in mind these officers, and the other members of the association who had gone from our midst, would be to invite their natural successors to become members in their stead. Accor- dingly in the early summer, Mrs. Chur- chill, Mrs. Chamberlain and Miss K. K. Kelsey were asked to succeed Prof. Churchill, Dr. Chamberlain, and Miss McKeen.

At this meeting it was voted to invite Mrs. Hrainard Cummings, Mrs. A. S. Lindsay, Mr. Abraham Mai land, Miss Sara Poor, and Mr. Charles I,. White to succeed Mr. Hrainard Cummings, Mrs. M.S. Duncan, Mrs. W. S. Marland, Mr. Albert Poor, and Mrs. lhtrnham S. White.

From the twenty-four persons who were invited to become members of the association because of services rendered, pleasant words, or notes of acceptance have been received. So that we now number:

ltll charter members. 8 successors to charter members.

24 members elected for services rendered.

The work of clearing at the lteserva- tiiin has been continued as far as the small fund in the treasury allowed. Through the generosity of Col. liipley the entrance by the town gravel-pit has been made broad and safe. We have also received a gift from William M. Wood, Esq., which will help to make the West Parish road entrance opposite "Samson's Hockey" smooth and easy.

Would that we might have other gifts to surprise us!

In the early summer it was suggested that the trustees should raise money to buy the peat-bog north of the Heserva- 1 tion, as it was proposed to take it, with ! additional land, for a rifle range. Hut j as such a use of the land would be not only annoying to the people and birds win. frequent the Reservation, but dan- I gerons to the children who wander ;

I about it, the trustees could but hope that the owners of the adjoining laud would not sell any of their holdings for such a purpose.

We would say again how much in- debted we are to Mr. Charles I,. Carter for his continued oversight of the work in the Heservatiou. The. place speaks for itself at all seasons of the year, ami those who go there, and the number increases, want to go again. Several neighborhood barge-rides were taken there this autumn, and those who made the easy ascent of the West Ridge were surprised with its wide panoramic view, as well iis hy the diversities of the Fast Kidge and t he undulations between the two. People from a distance say, "Why did you not tell us it was so beautiful'."' And townspeople returning from other charming places, are delighted to find they have so much beauty close at hand.

Immediately after the adjournment of the annual meeting, a trustees meeting was held, which resulted in the election of the following officers for the year: President, Walter Buck; 1st vice-president, Charles L. Carter; 2nd vice-president, Dr. C. F. P. Bancroft; clerk, Alice Buck;; treasurer, S. .1. Marland.

ALICE BUCK, ('lerk.

An unusually pleasant reunion was held by the South church last Friday evening, the occasion being that of the annual business meeting and supper of the church. This evening is always a pleasant one as it brings together around a common board many among the church members who meet socially only once or twice a year, the annual supper being one of such times. This year, there were 155 of the church people who sat down to the excellent supper provided by Caterer Tanner of Haverhill, and served at (1.45 o'clock.

Previous to the supper, from 6 until (5.30 o'clock, a business meeting of the church was held at which last year's officers, with a few exceptions, were re- elected. Charles II. Shearer was elected deacon for six years, and Frank T. Carl- ton, whose place Mr. Shearer t<s>k, was elected on the Prudential committee for four years in exchange with Mr. Shearer. John Alden was re-elected treasurer; Myron K. Uutterson, clerk; Mrs. J. W. Barnard, Mrs. Benjamin Brown, Miss Mary Alice Abbott and Miss Ellen (.. Ellis, deaconesses for one year. Dr. Gilbert again assumes the superinteti- dency of the Sunday school with T. F. Pratt as assistant. Miss Susan Abbott found it impossible to continue at the head of the sub-primary department of the Sunday school and Miss Alice Whit- ney was chosen to fill her place.

After the supper, the various officers made reports, the clerk's report by M. E. Gut! erson ; the t reasurer's hy Job n Alden; on the Sunday school hy Dr. Gilbert and on the Christian Endeavor society hy its president, Miss Edith Yalpcy.

The disturbed condition of the year affected the missionary gifts a good deal, cutting them down on the average 25 per cent. The fall was least in the Endeavor societies and the women's distinctive missionary societies. The figures for 11)00 are: South church, »2891; Sunday schools (including home department.) #228; Senior Y. P. s. C. E., #71: Jr. Y. P. 8. C, E., $ US; Ladies' Charitable Soci- ety, $80; Young Ladies'Society of Christ- ian Workers, #79; King's Daughters, $04; McAll Mission, *;S2; Woman's Board, #193.

The Sunday schools held their own well. Although the church school met for nearly half its year in the town hall, the average attendance (including the Scotland school) was 231—against 247 in 1890. At the close of the year the total enrollment had increased beyond the 1899 number.

The church membership has sustained a net loss of six. Three were gained by letter, four by profession. Four took letters and nine were lost by death. They were: Mrs. Elizabeth L. Abbott, Mrs. Mary II. Clement, Miss Lucy Cogswell. Mrs. Caroline L, Dean, Mrs. Clarissa Waldo Frost, Miss Hannah A. Jaquith, William S. Jenkins, Miss Frances C. Pearson, Mrs. Mary A. Rich- ards.

Owing to the fire and necessary reno- vations, the church debt was announced as rather large. A special collection for the purpose of helping diminish the debt will be taken on the 17th of February.

The gathering was brought to a close hy singing "1 Love Thy Church, O Lord," and benediction by the presiding officer, Rev, F. H. Shipman.

What is Andover Doiufc-,In »tcc*a*H. of this Ideal CitUcu?

All around us men, women, and chil dren are contributing to the fund beiii raised for a memorial to the late Gov ernor Koger Wolcott. Andover has thus far been almost passive in this work 1 few scattering contributions to the head quarters in Boston being her only share in It. This is not enough according to one of our leading citizens, who miggJtti the co-operation of the Townsman in the work; a suggestion that is gladly f0]. lowed.

Already the sum raised amounts to #16,000 but the committee announces that it will receive contributions just as long as the people of Massachusetts wish to send them in. The amount given by an/donor is not published as the committee ranks the motive above any possible value the gift could represent.

The Townsman will be glad to receive contributions to this fund and will forward them promptly to the treasurer of the committee, Col.

Free Church Parish Meeting.

A meeting of the Free church parish was belli Monday night. The same board of officers as last year was elected as follows: Moderator, Joseph A. Smart; clerk, George A. Higgins; treasurer, John W. Hell;auditor, David Middleton; committee on contingencies, Deacons, William C. Donald. Jos. W. Smith, J. Newton Cole and Stephen Jackson, and (ieorge W. Foster, J. W. Hell, William Coutts and J. A. Smart.

A satisfactory report was presented by the treasurer, John W. Hell.

A committee was appointed to consider the advisability of changing the location of the church, to report at a future meeting. The committee consisted of Joseph A. Smart, John W. Bell. Mr. and Mrs. J. Newton Cole, George E. Johnson. Mrs. J. \V. Smith and Mrs. D. Middleton.

James L. Lord of the West Parish won three firsts and a second on barred Plymouth Hocks at the recent Methuen Poultry show.

The topic of the (irange meeting last Tuesday evening was "The Old and New- Century. " All the officers of the Grange were present with the exception of Mrs. S. II. Bailey, who was detained at home by illness. The meeting was largely attended and that it was a most interesting one is the verdict of many present. The first thing on the program was the reading of a paper prepared by Mrs. S. II. Hailey on the "Im- provements shown in Literature, Art and the Sciences during the 19th Cen- tury." Mrs. E. W. Boutwell read an im- aginary paper on the happenings of the auth Century, and Walter H. Coleman gave a splendid talk, both interesting and instructive, upon the achievements in the electrical line during the past century, especially in telegraphy and telephony. He used portions of tele- graphic and telephonic instruments to illustrate his talk.

The seal brown coach stallion Kick- husch, purchased in 1896 by a stock cum- pany comprising many local farmers and I horse fanciers, for (3500, was sold Wed- I nesday afternoon at public auction from the Park street stables. The purchaser was Representative James C. Poor of | North Andover, for$220.

The stallion was owned by ottnian | Bros., Watseka, 111., having been [ chased by a number of gentlemen in Andover and vicinity for breeding pur- poses. The horse stood 10 1-2 hands I high, was nine years old at time of par- j chase and weighed 121K) lbs. Ilispedi-

I gree was by Walt ram out of Frieda, and | was bred by P. Mansholt, Marienchor, Germany, and is registered with the I Cerman Hanoverian and Oldenburg j Coach Horse Association of America.

The experiment made by the gentlemen who held shares seems not tu have I been entirely a success from their action in selling and from the low purclia* price. Peter Holt of North Amlovei acted as auctioneer. The bidding*■ ] very slow.

Ceorge Albeit Smith died at his home on High street last Friday evening from typhoid fever. Dy his death the town loses a citizen of which it should be protid, one who has lived a life of faithful devotion, a slave to his family ties,— and lived it heroically.

He was the son of George K. Smith and Caroline K. Abbott and was born in Andover, July 8ft, 186V. After taking a course in the public schools of Andover, he learned the trade of a steel die cutter and became a very excellent workman. In this business, he became employed by Spencer * Co., Boston, to which firm he made himself valuable.

Dy reason of his grandfather's growing feebleness he was obliged to give up his position in order that he might stay at home to take care of him. For a number of years, the best years of his life, he staid at home doing his duty uncom- plainingly and faithfully.

On Aug. 28, 'iw, his mother, Mrs. Caro- line K. Smith, passed away and on the 22nd of Nov. 'Silt, his grandfather, Joseph Abbott, died at the .advanced age of 88 years. After the death of the former, a cousin came to keep house and assist in caring for an aged invalid relative who lived there also, and "Bertie," as he was more familiarly known by his Andover associates, was after his grandfather's death once more at liberty to commence work, which he did, again entering the employment of Spencer & Co. Here lie had worked until his last and fatal illness, through which Mr. Spencer was unceasingly kind.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the house, Rev. F. A. Wilson officiating. A delegation of Odd Fel- lows from Andover lodge, 2:10, I. (>. (>. F, of which the deceased was a member, was present and the Odd Fellow's burial servjee was used, F. M. Hill acting as chaplain. Burial was in the South church eemetary.

The following lines, written by a neighbor, were suggested by the life and early death of the deceased:

Another veiling life Is ended, Knded before Its noun.

Summoned in curly limidimMl, Why •ii<l it eoniOSO noon?

A life BO helpful to others Thai we a lesson mav draw

And BO fulfil Its mtfHlon,—- Where Love and Duly were law.

Another soul borne to Heaven, Freed from all earthly pain,

The family reunited Never to part again.

■> Another glorious nwnkemng In the Heavenly Home above,

To live in the Mesi hereafter With HI in whose name Is Love.

Former P. A. Student in a Fa- j risian Asylum.

Moses Fowler Chase, 22 years of age, a graduate of Phillips Andover academy, class of is;t.'\ who is heir to about * 1,000,000, is detained in an asylum in Paris, and his father, a prominent lawyer of Lafayette, lml.. is taking steps to have him brought hack to the United States.

More than a year ago young Chase left this country with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. ('. A. Duhnieof Cin- cinnati. At that time the boy took the name of Moses Fowler, ajitl rejected the efforts which his father made to reclaim him. When he was a child he had sustained a sunstroke which alTected his mind.

Attempts were made to get young Chase away from his uncle and aunt, but they proved unsuccessful, and the hoy went with them to London. There he ran away from them, but was found by llie police. Mr. and Mrs. Dulinie then took him to Paris, where he has been an inmate in an asylum.

Crew for Phillips Andover Spoken of Favorably.

At present, the question of establishing a boat crew at Phillips Andover academy seems to be a topic of conversation among the students.

Bernard M. Allen of the faculty, who is connected with the movement, says that he believes Andover could easily support a crew, as there is an abundance of good rowing material, and there are several bodies of water in the vicinity which would be suitable.

There is a splendid course on the Merrimack river, and if the distance from the academy were not so great, there would have been a crew from the academy long before this; or rather interest in rowing would not have died out, for there once was a P. A. crew on the Merrimack.

Lake Cochichewick, North Andover, has also been spoken of most favorably, and in fact, would seem to be the choice for a course if a crew were formed. When the new electric road to Haver- hill is in operation, Hie lake will be easily available with only a fifteen or twenty minutes ride.

I desire to say to the Citizens of Andover that the Law- rence Gas Company has opened a Branch Office and Show Hooni in the Musgrove Block, Andover, where wo will be pleased to show our friends a full line of Gas Ranges, Gaa Heaters, Welsbach Burners, and other appliances for the utilization of gas for Lighting, Cooking and Heating. And 1 desire to say in this connection that to save our customers- from disappointment, I would urge them to order* Gas- Ranges and other appliances at once,- in order that we may do the necessary interior work immediately.

Where orders for gas stoves are placed now, we will proceed at once with running the pipe from a point where the meter will l>e set to the position selected for the stove. This being done, we will be in a position to supply gas to the

stove as soon as the main pipes are laid in the spring, but if our customers defer ordering until spring, I fear many will not secure their stoves as early in the season as they may desire. I therefore strongly urge that orders for gas appliances be placed at once, and thus prevent disappointment iii the Epring.

Orders will be attended to in the order in which they are booked.

If not convenient to call at our office, drop a |K>stal to the above address and our representative will call upon you.

The tickets will be 50 cents and are on sale at the bookstore.

The members of the Dramatic club have spent much time in preparing for the vaudeville, which they say promises \o be even more complete than the one which was so successful last year.

Arthur Rochetle and- Edward Larose were at work in the bake shop and their e*caoe from death was miraculous f r bri ks were hurled In all directions, smishing through the walls of the building, and tearing awLy fixtures, shutter's, an I window sashes. Two heavy do irs, each weighing between 400 and 500 pounds, were forced from the front <f the liulldlP"' and carried Into the street. like pieces of paper before the wind.

The boiler was hurled from Its p >sl- tlon. into the stable at the rear of the shop and the whole top of the fine brick oven, valued at $500, was torn away.

Immediately after the exploslm, En- gine 6'e company was summoned, but their assistance was n t needed, as n» lire broke out.

Mr. Morln had recently stored two rarload? of flour in the building, but fortunately this escaped with slfght damage.

The building Is strong-y built an 1 thiH fact accounts for the slight damage wnught on the upper floors.

BRILLIANT EVENT.

A brilliant home wedding was that of Miss Frances McAIpine and Joseph E. Walworth Ph. D., son of Joseph Wal- worth, the well known wool • buyer, which occurred at the home of the bride's parents, Ex-Senator William T. McAIpine, at 18 Abbott street Monday evening. The spacious home was bril- liantly lighted and decorated for the occasion. Only the relatives and In- timate friends of the families we:e present.

At half past seven, to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march rendered by the Columbian orchestra, the bride- elect entered the drawing room on the arm of her father. Unêr the arcn formed by the large bay window before a background of potted plants and fern's, Rev. Georve H. Young, former pastor of the Unitarian church, pronounced the words which made them man and wife.

The ceremonies over the guests gathered about and showered congratuia- tl-ons and good wishes upon the happy couple.

The bride w&* attire 1 In a beautiful dress of silk crepe trimmed with Duch- ess lace and carried lilies of the valley. She wore a veil which was caught wfth a spray of lllle? of the valley. She wore no ornament other than a beautiful pearl and diamond brooch, the gift of the groom.

Mis* Harriet Walworth, sister of the groom, was maid of honor, while Misses Lflllian and Margaret Walworth were flower rMrls. John Richardson acted as best man.

. The maid cf hon r wore white fiû-el gauze and carrlel pink roses. The flower girls wore white trimmed with pink ribbon and carried pinks. Th» bride's mother was attired in a black satin gown with cream and gold lace trimmings and wore a white rose In her hair.

Page 8c Co.. of Lowell catered, while the Columbian orchestra discoursed sweet music from the upstairs hallway during the evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Walworth left on the 9.30 train on their wedding tour. Where they wl'3 go Hfter reaching Bos- ton has been kept secret.

The happy couple were the recipients of a large number of beautiful presents including cut glass, solid silverware, paintings and hand-painted china.

No other medicine on earth equals it." Only 50c and * LOO at Hliss's drugstore. Trial bottles free.

FIRE AT THE WASHINGTON.

The entire Are department was called out shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday night by the sounding of an alarm from box 144. The box is a private one for the Washington mills and to the sounding of It, the apparatus always res- ponds in a hurry.

The fire was confined to the "river mill" so called, where thousands of dollars worth of wooil is kept In bales, baskets and loose, and the work of the fire brigade and the local department kept the loss within $200.

The hose wagons and ladder trucks were sent into the yards while the steamers were kept at the gate of the mill ready for instant service. Lines of hoj-e were laid In the yard as a precaution but few of them were used. The night was a cold one and the tire men got their share of weather before the tecall was sounded.

Three of the watchmen Francis Lavln Patrick McManaman, and William Mc- Dubefl were the flrst to discover the Are and give the alarm. Before the alarm was pulled in, however, constderabi- work had been done by the corporation fire brigade.

The lower story of the building U which the Are was conAned is devoted to wool scouring, storage, etc., while on the upper stories are the dryers, sorting rooms, etc. The cause of the blaze seems to have been an over-heated dryer.

The damage was virtually confined to the stock, the building being scorched but very little. One dryer is damaged, while the machinery, belting and shafting suffered slightly. Superintendent Kitchln stated this

morning that the loss sustained D about $100, possibly a little more, but surely less than $200. He also stated that no one is thrown uut of work by the fire.

TRUELL RETIRES.

The members of the 5th d s.rlct Re- publican congressional eo>mmttt«e met at the state headquarter:- in Boston Tuesday for organization.

Chairman Truell of La wren-e cal!ei the meeting to order and annotn ed that under no circumstances' cou'd he longer serve as chairman of the committee and later he resgne 1 as a member.

The members present were unanimous In t'heir de.-dre that M-. Truell should withdraw his resignation but finally yielded to his wishes. Frank L. Weaver was unan'mouslv chosen chairman and Gen. Q. Frederick secretary.

Mr. Truell's resignation frn«l the committee marks the close <t ten years of active and successful woik ES the party leader in the 5th di-trict. Prob- ably no man in the district has a wider acquaintance than ihe. or pis?es;el a firmer gra?p up-^n all matters political In recognition of his long and silen lid service a oomnrv'ttep nf thre^ was appointed at Tuesday's meeting, wh > will arrange for a cnmp'iment iry dinner to take plare at an eirly dale.

Abbott A. Poor was ehoeen to succel Mr. Truell as a Lawrence memher of the committee.

W. B. Gale X/odg-e Sends Resolu- tions to Parents.

The bereaved family of the late Eben M. Pitman have received the following resolutions from William It. Gale'Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Lawrence, of which the deceased was an honored member:

"In the inscrutable wisdom of the Omniscient Kuler of the Universe there has been taken from our midst one of our number, one who has been enrolled with us as a brother of this Lodge.

We learn with pain and sorrow of the death of Brother Kben M. Pit- man of Andover and with feelings of personal loss ami bereavement pay this last testimonial to his no- bleness of character and his purity of life among us.

Brot her Pitman was a man of high purpose, of lofty ambition tempered with the practical environments of his every day life. He realized early that a young man's life was what he himself made it and as a manifesta- tion of his thorough character en- deavored so to mould his own life that men might know its truth and admire its sincerity. That lie accomplished this in the lew brief years of manhood is well exemplified by the universal respect and personal friendship which was ever at his command. His life was a grand type of genuineness and sincerity, open and frank to all his fellows. And it was this attribute which en- deared 1dm to all his associates and any with whom he came in contact.

William B. Gale Lodge, Knights of Pythias of which Brother Pitman was a charier member, feels a keen sense of grief at this, the first place vacated in our ranks, and as a lasting testimonial to our respect for our deceased brother and our own feeling of loss the following resolution is hereby adopted:

That this Lodge adopts Ihe above testimonial to our deceased Brother hben M. Pitman feeling a personal loss at the death of one we looked to bring additional honor to our order.

That, we bow with submission to the Divine Will and humbly acknowledge its wisdom.

That we sympathize deeply with his bereaved family whose irrepar- able loss is so infinitely greater than ours and to whom we tender in the spirit of brotherly love for their loved one our sincerest compassion in their present grief.

Kesolved also that this testimonial he spread in full upon the records of the Lodge and that a copy thereof be forwarded to the sorrowing family of our deceased brother

THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST- ED IS ASL0 EQUALLY

NECESSARY.

We Recommend Vinol as an Appetite Creator.

WE GUARANTEE THAT VINOL WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion that we have ever known.

11 is because Vinol acts so beneficially upon the stomach that it accomplishes so much good.

Vinol contains the active curative principles that are found in cod-liver oil. without any oil or grease.

These medicinal elements act so favorably upon the stomach, that this organ obtains for itself the elements necessary for creating new flesh, muscle tissue and for making rich red blood.

When the stomach acts easily and naturally, a desire is created for good simple food and a good appetite is the sure result.

With cod-liver oil as formerly taken the medicinal elements which it contained were too often unable to counteract the harm that was done by the obnoxious grease that enveloped them.

Now that in Vinol we have those same elements separated from the vile- tasting fat, we have a tonic and rebuilder that is simply marvelous in its* action

The following is a letter that will ex- plain itself:

** This is to certify that I have used six bottles of Vinol, and have found it of great value as an appetizer and tonic in general debility. I have received so much benefit from its use that 1 gladly furnish this testimonial in order that others may be induced to ffive it a trial and prove to themselves ts recuperative powers.**—MRS. ELIZ-

ABETH FEENKY, Water bury, Conn.

We want every one In this place to

know more about our Vinol, how It cures and what It cures. Certainly

the greatest tonic and rebullder WJ

have ever sold. We, therefore, cordially Invite any

one Interested to call upon us, and we want all to bear In mind that we

will gladly refund to any one who Is not satisfied with the action of Vinol

every cent they pay for It.
