Harriet Wilcox Davis died in Hyde
Park May 81. She was born in Bradford
VT, Nov. Is, 1900; was married to Sam
uel Davis in 1878 and resided in that
place till 1946, when they moved to HYDE
Park, which has since Deer her home.
She was the mother of nine children.
some of whom are still living. She was
a person of very pleasant and amiable
disposition, a faithful wife, a devoted
mother. and was strongly attached to
all her friends. She felt deeply the af-
fiictions that fell to her lot, and could not
understand why they were sent. but they
never awakened a feeling of rebellion in
her heart. She accepted them as APP
pointed by a loving, Heavenly Father,
and felt sure that His love was in them
all. and what was mysterious now would
some day be made plain. She had,
through life, a sense of the goodness an d
love of God. and recognized them as
ever present facts in her own life. And
as she drew near the end she was prals-
ing Him for His goodness and advising
others to take the bible for their guide
and Jesus for their example, that it
might be well with them in this world,
and in the world to come.

Central Vermont Railroad.

ST. ALBANs, vt. June %, SO.
To station agents, conductors, yard
masters and other railroad officials
having authority to make arrests -
Recent fatal results of the practice
of boys getting on and off trains APP
preaching and leaving stations, or
switching, show the necessity of the
exercise of their full powers to pre-
vent this, by station agents, yard
masters, conductors and others in au-
thority. The law on this point-re-
vised laws of Vermont, Sec. 3,452, is
as follows:
"A minor boarding a railroad train on
its arrival or departure, or the making up
of railroad trains at a station, or loiter-
ing about a yard or station, on the prop
erty of a railroad company, without per-
mission, shall be fined not less thar one
dollar and costs, and not more than five
dollars and costs, or imprisoned not less
than five days nor more than thirty days;
and station agents or yard masters, or
any officers authorized to make arrests.
shall arrest such a minor and bring him
before a justice in the town where the
offence is committed, who may enforce
such provisions.'
On account of the resistance which
boys have offered when ordered off
trains, it seems that the only effectual
means of preventing this dangerous
practice is the enforcement of this
law. Hereafter, therefore, you will
see that it is fully enforced and that
any boys who violate it are arrested
and imprisoned, and otherwise pun
ished to the full extent of the law.
Constant vigilance must be exercised,
and for any failure in this respect you
will be held strictly responsible.

The Republicans of Chittenden
County may be credited with doing
the best possible thing within their
power to do, in placing at the head of
her county ticket the name of Gen.
VIM. Wells for State Senator. As q
soldier he was promoted to the high
est rank in the cavalry branch of the
service of Vermont's sons in the war
of the r~ebellon. As a government
official his administration was espec-
tally strong, having administered the
affairs of the important Office of Col
Iector of the Port at Burlington with
such commendable ability that when
President Cleveland removed him, not
a flaw could be found upon which to
base his suspension, and the admins
tration was finally obliged with much
chagrin and modification to confess
that his removal was simply to give
place to that chief of political work
ers, Bradley B. Smalley. In private
life, in business, as an official, a SOL
der and a citizen, Gen. Wells is a
man and a gentleman in the full sense
of the term, and his Republicanism is
of that stalwart type of which Yer
mont is so justly proud.

the fourteen counties in Vermont have
held their Republican conventions and
have nominated Is of the 80 senators to
be elected in September. Every one is
for Senator Edmunds and in all but two
OF the cOunties-Orange and Caledonia
strong Edmunds resolutions were
adopted. From all obtainable informa-
ton this unanimity is likely to be kept
up. 1t is perfectly conclusive of Repub-
lean opinion in Vermont except to the

daily invite these brethren to come into

OTTAWA, Ont, June 23.--For
some time past a society of socialists
appear to have made their headquar-
tiers in Hull, and have carried on their
proceedings with profound secrecy.
They were discovered by detective
Finnie, of New York, who came here
about two weeks ago searching for a
man named Georries, supposed to
possess information of the greatest
Importance to the prosecution, in the
cases now on trial before Judge Gary
in New York, against Michael Schwab
and other anarchists. Georrie was
found working under an assumed
name in one of the lumber mills at
Hull. On being traced by Finnie he
gave some valuable information. 1t
appears that the society numbers so
members, among whom are several
French Canadians, and aliens of the
lower and most ignorant class. Their
oath is as ridiculous as it is terrible
and blood curdling. Such absolute
secrecy is maintained regarding their
proceedings that their very existence
is not even suspected by the author
tiles. Any member, it seems, who
reveals any of the secrets is liable to
death at the hands of the other mem
bers. No two meetings are ever held
in the same place. 1t is thought that
the ignorant class of members are
merely used as tools for carrying out
their masters designs, being promised
in return, protection in their relation
with their employers. 1t is thought
that many of the mills which have
been burned here of late have been
fired by members of this society for
the purpose Of giving brothers work
in rebuilding.
