ABBOTT Allen Vail Abbott died at Bos-
ton, Mass, May 81, 1884, aged forty-nine.
He was the last surviving sen of Dea Jonas
and Minerva Vail Abbott who were among
the early settlers of Worcester, Vt. Mr..
Abbott removed from Vermont to Boston
some thirteen years ago, and in the various
capacities of labor he was always faithful
to his employers and kind and obliging to
all with whom he had to deal. OF modest
and retiring disposition, he never sought for
honors or offices, but devoted his whole life
to the care and education of his family. His
funeral at Worcester was held June 3, at
the Congregational church, Rev. p. H. Car
penter otficiating, assisted by Rev. M. II.
Ryan of the Methodist Ichapel. A large
number of his former townspeople were in
attendance The high esteem in which the
deceased was held is shown by the COM
ments of leading Boston papers. The Her
aid of June / says: Mr.. Allen V. Abbott,
assistant treasurer of the Gaiety and Bijou
theater, died yesterday afternoon at the
Massachusetts General Hospital, after a
brief attack of typhoid pneumonia. He was
for many years resident of Boston, and
was we'll known in theatrical circles as
man of recognized ability, integrity and
honor. He entered Mr., b. f. Keith's en-
ploy five years ago, and up to the time of
the beginning of his last illness he held va
ried positions of responsibility, and was
looked upon with great favor by his EN-
ployer. Mr.. Abbott's death has caused gem
eral mourning among the employees of Mr.
Keith's theaters, all of whom knew and
liked him He was one of natures gentle
men, firm friend and a good parent" OF
the funeral ceremonies at Boston the Globe
says: " There was present large assemblage
of the deceased's friends including many
theatrical gentlemen of note. Rev. NJ. K.
Deming of the Baptist Tabernacle officiated.
The floral tributes included a beautiful
wreath and sickle from Mr.. b. f. Keith of
the Gaiety and Bijou; lilies of the valley
from Mr.. Robert Manning, secretary and
librarian of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society; a wreath from Joseph II. Woodford
of the same society, and other offerings
from w. j. Stewart and Mrs. e. NJ. Gill"
In behalf of his friends and relatives in Yer
mont, we wish to return our hearty thanks
TO all who have so kindly shown their re.
spect for the dead and their sympathy for
the living in this sad bereavement. Mr..
Abbott leaves a widow, son and two daugh.
tiers, who will continue to reside at Bos.
ton.

Obituary.

BoLToN.-The death of George w. Boil
ton, which occurred somewhat unexpectedly
to many of his friends, at his late residence
in this village, Thursday afternoon, June 4,
removes another veteran from Brooks post,
a valued compositor from the Office Of the
WATCHMAN, and a worthy member from
Trinity Methodist church. Deceased was
in his forty.fourth year, had served with
marked fidelity in the WATCHMAN Office for
nineteen years, and in other printing and
publishing houses during some previous
years Since last January he had been I'M
able to labor, giving signs of gradual failure
from diseases contracted during army serv-
ice in Company b, Eleventh Indiana Vol
unteers. He leaves a widow and three
sons. Funeral services were conducted at
the home on Saturday afternoon by his
pastor, Rev. A. j. Hough, the Scripture
read and the hymns sung having been Sc
lected by the deceased, whose closing hours
had been marked by patient resignation,
serene trust and joyful anticipation rarely
seen in the midst of suffering and in the
presence of death. A large company at
tended the services, members of the Relief
Corps and his companions in war, labor and
Christian work being fully represented.
During his sickness the employees of the
WATCHMAN, members of Brooks post and
those of his own household of faith mani
tested the deepest interest in his welfare
and ministered to his needs with a BROTH
erly tenderness and liberality worthy the
fullest measure of commentator. The
presence of a delegation from Barre of
former associates in labor, from the office of
the Argus and Patriot, the Union Gard
Company, and Wheelock & Dawley, evinced
the high esteem in which he was held by
the printers craft His father, a resident
of Washington, ID. c., and a government
employe, came on Thursday, in answer to
telegram, and remained until after the
funeral, bringing comfort and rendering
practical assistance to the bereaved family,
In his religious life deceased was scrupu-
lousy faithful, and aspred to the attain
ment of the highest grace within the range
of Christian experience, known as perfect
love-" and in his life and death gave evil
dence that his aspiration had not been in
vain.
Though dead he speaks the old
Sweet message clear and pain
The pure in heart the secret hold
OF triumph over pain
In darkness they have light,
They bring the distant near,
And perfect love still Yields the might
That casts out every fear.

INCENSE BURNING.

An interesting Republican news
paper published at New Ulm, that roy
alest of Dutch towns. famous for its
quaint beauty, its hospitality and its
business prosperity, finds fault with the
GLOBE because it speaks lightly of the
protective tariff. 1t admits that the
GLOBE has right. as an exponent of
Democratic doctrine, to criticise the
theory of protectionism, but it thinks
that this ought to be done reverently,
seriously, in spirit of awe and respect,
and with some preparatory burning of
incense, some decorations of body, and
some genuflectlons in the presence of
that holy thing. 1t shocks its sense of
decency to see the GLOBE trip up with
the airiness of a ballet dancer and wan
tonly guy the sacred idol at whose
shrine the McKinleyites worship. 1t
says such conduct is blasphemy, and
would have law forbidding it.
The GLOBE confesses that its incense
burning department has been rather
weak of late. and that its acolyte vino is
hired to atteud to this sort of business
is evidently quite incompetent 1t is
sorry to have hurt its contemporaries
feelings, but, at the same time, it really
thinks that no small part of its grev-
ance is imaginary. 1t says that, as far as
it knows. the GLOBE has never warmed
the hearts of its readers with any OF
those interesting compilations of tariff
statistics which are so much priced and
so eagerly looked for at the breakfast
table, and declares that the children
who are crying for them ought to be
| gratifed. 1t is possible to expect toe
much in this direction, and that is one
| trouble with the GLOBES New Ulm
| critic. 1t evidently has been devoting
its time to the Minneapolis Tribune,
but it should remember that that paper
has threshing machine left over from
| its eyentful career in North Dakota, and
that this, having been adapted to new
uses, will. on demand. turn out the
greatest number of statistics, of all
shapes and sizes, at the minimum of
cost. 1t is not fair to ask as much of a
paper which has no threshing machine.
But the other trouble with the
GLOBES critic is that it has not read
the GLOBES columns carefully enoug
1t says that the GLOBE has left undone
great many things which it ought to
have done, as far as it knows. But ii
does not know very far. What can you
expect of critic which thinks that
some Democrat invented JIM BLAINE's S
famous eplgram to the effect that there

A DIFFICULT WORK.

The immigration question was natu-
rally one OF the prominent topics of dis
cusSlon at the late large conference of
charities and correction at Indianapo-
lis, and difficulties in the way of sitting
processes were found to be formidable.
The prevalent expression was that
great discretion and delicacy were
needful to promote the desired end, and
that the Washington proposition to
make the cOnSuls investigate and certi-
fy was not feasible or desirable. The
foreign authorities would throw all OBJ
stacles possible in the way of the de-
parture of the desirable classes and fa-
cllitate the success of the others in i'm
posing on the consulS. One who had
been familiar with the situation abroad
said the migrating people flock to the sea-
port towns from remote points, and the
government agents could get little relia-
bic information as to their record or fit
ness to become safe citizens of the great
republic. The ncrthern parts of Europe,
that have until recently furnished the
bulk of the emigration, require little
scrutiny. They can hardly come too
plentifully. Russia, however, has not
been one of these, and the present move
meht from there is abnormal and
abominably compulsory. 1t is we'll
understood in what quarter the special
restraint is needed. The conclusion at
indianapolis was that the effective work
must be on this side of the water, aided
by the yigilant observation of officials
abroad. Even then it would be very
difficult to exclude the bad elements.
