LUCY WEBB HAYES.
DEATH OF THE WIFE OF AN Ex-PRESI-
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Useful Life Given to Doing Good-Tho
; Character of Mrs. Hayes ss Shown In Her
works-Home Life.
Lucy Webb Hayes, wife of ex-Presi-
dent Rutherford b. Hayes, died after a
brief illness at their home in Fremont,
Ohio, at $50 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon.
Mrs. Hayes was born August %, 1881
at Chillicothe, Ohio, and was the daugh-
ter of DR.. James Webb. She was mar
ried to Mr.. Hayes December 30, 1852.
They have had eight children. of whom
four sons and one daughter are living.
Birchard, the eldest son, is graduate OF
Harvard, and is a practising lawyer at
Toledo. Webb, the second son. is an
electrical engineer at Cleveland. Rucher-
ford, the third son, is the cashier Of the
fremont Savings Bank and lives with his
parents. Scott, the fourth son and young
est child, is student at Cornell. The
only daughter, Fanny, was her mothers
constant companion and friend.
Mrs. Hayes was noble woman, of
large heart and great strength of charac-
ter. Dnring the war her patriotic devo-
ton was shown in the work for wounded
soldiers and attention to them and all her
life she has been active in charitable and
reform organizations. She has been for
many years an active member Of the
Methodist church.
Her temperance principles were strong
and she is perhaps best known for her
tirmness in banishing liquor from the
White House. This course, condemned
by some Of the bon viuants of government
circles, has always received the approval
of large numbers Of the best people of the
lands, and the results of the firm attitude
of the presidents wife were certainly
good.
Since Mr.. Hayes retirement from the
presidency the family have lived very
quietly upon a farm ut Fremont, Ohio,
which was inherited by him from his
uncle, Silas Birchard. 1t is not more than
20 minutes walk from the centre of the
village and is delightfully."- situated. he
house is large and roomy, built in ne
Southern style. A wide hall with 4 or
OF hardwood runs through it's centre.
The libraryis is the most attractive room
of the house, with its deep, open fireplace
and its bookcases covering the walls.

AT the Farm Machine Building

The Vermont Farm Machine Company
have recently put up a mammoth sign on
the north side of their new building be-
tween the second and third story win
dows. The sign which was made and
painted in the company's own shop, is
32X3 l-2 feet and bears the following in
scription: ''Vermont Farm Machine Com
pany, Special Dairy and Farm Imple-
ments." The company has also built
"A sidewalk on the east side of its building
and put in speaking tubes which connect
the office with the different rooms in the
building. Mention should perhaps be
made in this connection that Babe, the
truck horse which was reported as deaf
last week, soon after the appearance Of
the item in the Times announcing the
same as the result of the lightning stroke
a few weeks ago, began regaining his
hearing and the prospect is that his auric-
ular arrangements will soon be in nor

THE BEGINNING OF THE END OFTHE
ACADEMY YEAR.

The Baccaiaureate at Sax. on's River-Mon-
days Speaking on Mission Work The
Drill on Tuesday.
lhe commencement exercises Of Ver-
mont Academy began Sunday evening
with the baccalaureate sermon, which
was preached in Fuller Hall by the state
missionary of the Baptist denomination,
the Rev. A. MacGeorge of Brattleboro.
The sermon was a particularly strong one
and one which appealed directly to the
hearers. The text was taken from Mat
thew xxi, ~: ''What think we of CHRISTI"
The speaker brought forward the fact
that the world is looking for men of char
acter. unmindful of reputation. Reputa-
tlon is what men say of us; character is
What we are. A character to withstand
the trials and temptations of the world
must be founded on the rock Christ Jesus,
for other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid which is Christ Jesus
our Lord" There are struggles to be
met aud obstacles to be overcome which,
If conquered, will be an inspiration to
coming generations, but they can only
be conquered by divine aid. We are liv-
ing in the grandest age the world has
ever seen, and now is the time to show
what we are and where we are; let us sing
the song of redemption; let us acquit our
selves like men.

MISSION WORK.
The Topic of Mondays Meeting The Resig
nation of Miss Converse.

nation of Miss Converse.
Monday evening the Rev. A. J. Cor
don, d. D., pastor of the Clarendon
street Baptist church of Boston, spoke in
Fuller Hall on the subject of missions.
This lecture was one of rare power and
eloquence and abounded in good things.
DR.. Gordon gave brief history of the
missionary movement which commenced
at the beginning of the present century
and has resulted in the christianizing of
hundreds of thousands in foreign lands
1t Is a Christian duty to do missionary
work. Certain maXims and proverbs,
the speaker said, which the world con-
cedeS are true, have no right to that claim
us popularity construed. "rhe Lord helps
those who help themselves is "a common
proyerb. But who can say the Lord has
helped the great railroad corporations
ano. the Standard Oil Company. Yet
ths \ have helped themselves, and that
ye1F literally. The proverb should reati
thefhorf helps those who help others, a
S.gner and noDler maxim: and this APP
plies to labor in the missionary field.
Look out for number one" is one of the
worlds maxims, but the gospel teaches
US to look out for number two. ''Never
borrow trouble" is an oft repeated
proverb, but this is not the teaching of
the scriptures which instruct us that
we should borrow and carry all our
neighbOr- griefS and burdens we can.
individuals must be preached to instead
of the masses. Missionary work must
commence in the hearts of men, then it
must be taken up by the church and
through the church carried to the world.
DR.. Gordon denied the statement that there
are more heathens in the world now in
proportion to the number of Christians
than fifty years ago. In the Fiji ISL
ands alone, where the Inhabitants were
formerly all heathens, out of a pOpula-
ton of ! Is, ,OG0 there are now $4,000 reg
ular church attendants. And this is but
single instance of the immense good
the missionary work is doing. 70 add
still further to the good work, men ard
women are needed for the missiona Y
field, and cOnsecrated wealth to carry on
the work. 1t is II general verdict that
DR.. Gordon's sermon was one of the mo /
elevating. eloquent and inspiring adj
dresses ever delivered at Vermont Acad-
emy.
Following the address by DR.. Gordon,
Mrs. j. n. Gushing, secretary of the mis-
sions of Pennsylvania, and formerly in
the missionary work at Burmah, spoke
from thoughts suggested by Dir. Gordon S
remarks.
Miss Clara Converse of the school
faculty, who has recently decided to ell
ter the missionary field in Japan, in a
beautiful and pathetic manner gave the
reasons why she will leave the school in
which she has been an efficient instructor
for five years, and accept position in
the missionary field. Miss Converse has
proved herself IA thorough instructor, and
her services as well as companionship
will be greatly missed.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The River Steamer Almost Wrecked Near
the Dam.

the Dam.
Two couples had narrow escape from
drowning accident few evenings since.
They were up the river in the steamer
owned by Blakley and Hatch and re-
turned at o'clock passing down the east
side of the stI cam. In crossing to the
mooring above the canal the boat ran
foul of an iron pin which protruded from
rock within few rods of the dam.
This made hole in the boats side and
caused it to swing around violently. One
of the party got foot-hold on the rock aud
held the boat from going over the falls
while persons came in boats in response
to calls for help and removed the passem-
gers to the shore. The steamer was sub
sequently towed ashore and hauled up on
the track for repairs. 1t appears that in
the darkness the steersman attempted to
cross the stream too low down, and this
accounts for running on the rocks. The
Connecticut is treacherous stream and
one to man this little water craft safely
should go on pilot duty and learn the
dangerous places.
