OBITUARY..
Benjamin F. Whitehouse.


SHERMAN MILLS. Me-, February IL
Mr.. Benjamin F. Whitehouse, who died
of heart disc in this town last Wednesday
morning, was born in Middleton, N. H.,
August 4, 1925. He was son of Daniel
Whitehouse, late of Patten, who was one
of the very first pioneers of the town OF
Lincoln, and also one of the first settlers
of Patten.
The deceased married Miss Abby
K. Reed of Patten, and three sons and
two daughters were born to them. The
two youngest, a son and daughter, reside
on the homestead in Sherman. Thirty
years ago he and his wife made a public
profession and united with the Congre-
gational church in Patten, and after their
removal to Sherman in 1879 they united
with the Congregational church in this
town. They were highly respected MEM
bers in each, during membership, and in
Sherman to his death. He was an affec-
tionate, devoted husband and father, a
kind neighbor, and a worthy, respected
citizen. In politics he was an unwaver-
ing Republican and always took deep in
terest in state and national affairs. One
by one the old pioneers are passing away.

BALFOUR'S BILL.
The Tory Scheme for Ireland Cheered in.

The Tory Scheme for Ireland Cheered in
to Parliament.
LONDON, February 1S.- The long
talked of Irish Local Government bill
was introduced in the, House of Com
mons at 430 o'clock this afternoon by
Mr.. Balfour amid the cheers of the Gov
ernment supporters. In introducing the
bill Mr.. Balfour said that ever since the
formation of the present government
and even before, the extension Of local
government to every part of the United
Kingdom had been cardinal point of
the Conservative policy. That inten-
ton, he declared, had certainly been adj
hered to and reiterated by the govern
ment bills for England and Scotland. Ii
they had not done the same for Ireland
it must have been because great specific
and obvious dangers attended such q
course. The present bill was not merely
a county councils bill, but it was what in
England would be described as dis
trict and counties bill; by its provisions,
administrative duties will be given to
baronial councils, leaving wholly un-
touched those judicial duties now in
trusted to the grand jury. The MEM
bers of the county and baronial councils
will be elected every three years. The
government proposed following the
Scotch rather than the English measure.
The, bill passed its first reading after
long debate.

PARIS, February, IS. = The French
Ministry resigned today because of the ac-
ton of the Chamber of Deputies in con-
nection with the bill dealing with asso-
Citations. This afternoon, M. Hubbard
demanded urgency for the bill as a
reply to the attitude of the French bish-
ops. Mr.. De Cassagnac described the bill
as an iniquituous measure. Premier
De Freycinet denied that the measure
was intended as an act of persecution of
the church OF that it need be regarded as
the precursor of the separation of the
church and State. He warmly commend
ed the conciliatory spirit of the Pope
who, he said, often gave evidence of SYM

be said he would not give the measure
the significance M. Hubbard desired.
Excited discussions ensued on M.
Hubbard's motion. Finally M. De
Freycinet arose and demanded that the
order of the day be moved indicating
the views of the chamber on the subject.
Mr.. Boisserin thereupon, moved that
the government be requested to continue
its republican policy.
NJ. De Freycinet adopted the motion
and admitted that he considered it a
cabinet question.
M. Boisserin's motion was defeated.
