OBITUARY.

=
News comes from Salisbury of the
death at her home there on Tuesday of
Mrs. Hedden, wife of Hon. X. ID. He'd
den. She had been ill but few days
with pneumonia.
William G. Langwolthy died on
Wednesday at his home in this village,
after brief illness with pneumonia.
His health had not been vigorous of late,
but he had been about town till within
few days of his death. His age was
60 years. He was the only child of the
late Heman LangwOrthy. The deceased
for several years carried on successful
furniture business and later was in the
meat business. A widow and three
children-Mrs. Fred Foote of Middle
bury. Mrs. Il. w. Fletcher of Brdport
and Harry L. Langworthy of Middlebury
survive him. The funeral will be at
tended from the house at , o'clock to-
morrow Saturday afternoon. Rev.
Mr.. Heaxt, the Methodist pastor, will
officiate.
Hon. Timothy c. Smith died suddenly
on Saturday morning at the Logan
House, where he was living. After
breakfast he walked out into the Office
and stood by the stove when stricken.
Death was almost instantaneous. 1t
resulted from a form of heart disease.
Mr.. Smith was 73 years of age. He was
native of New Haven and had had a
curious career. Graduating from Middle
bury college in the class of 1912. among
the members of which were Columbus
Smith, Esq, of Salisbury and the late
Dugald Stewart of this town, he obtain
ed position in the treasury department
at Washington. There he remained for
several years, when he took up the study
of medicine, and graduated from the
medical department of the university of
the city of New York In 1876. The
Crlmean war was then In progress, and
an agent of the Russian government en-
listed the services of Mr.. Smith and sew
eral of his classmates as surgeons. He
was in the Russian army for two years.
In the meantime he had married the
daughter of an English surgeon who had
charge of the hospital at Odessa. where
he was stationed. Mr.. and Mrs. smith
came to America at the end of the war
and lived number of years in New Ha-
ven. In 1861 Mr.. Smith was appointed
United States consul at Odessa, which
Office he continued to hold till 1875. He
was made consul at Galatz in 1878 and
retained the place till 1888. About 1886
he came to America, accompanied by a
son and daughter, who have since
been in schools and colleges. Two
younger sons came later and are also be-
ing educated here. Mrs. Smith is In
Odessa with the younger children, hav-
ing been prevented from accompanying
her husband hlther by the condition Of
her aged mother, who was too inflrm to
be left or to travel. She has lately pass
ed away, and Mrs. Smith and her child
ren Intended coming to America this sum-
mer. Mr.. Smiths Oldest son is prac-
ticing physician at Odessa. This, in
brief, is the story of life such as few
are permitted to live. 1t was life full
of variety and of incident. His business
gave him opportunities for extended
travel, and he had, besides, made long
journeys into other regions of Europe
and Asia on his own account. The fu-
neral was held at the Sayre homestead
on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Bell,
the rector of st. Stephens, officiating.

A STRANGE PROCEEDING.

II. Warren or Horace w. Love, who
rau scurrilous newspapers in Burlington
and Rutland, studied law, but was re-
fused admission to the bar, and then
migrated to New York city, where he
has practiced law of late, was arrested
in Rutland on Thursday last by New
York detective on the charge of grand
larceny 1t is alleged that he collected
money foi woman client and stole it,.
He has been committed to the Tombs at
New York to await trial.
But the astonishing feature of the case
is not the arrest; it is that when ar
rested Love was in the Office of the clerk
of the Rutland county court to have a
certificate of admission to the bar of the
State of Vermont recorded. Eight years
ago he asked to be admitted. Objec-
tions were raised on the ground of his
lack of moral character. The matter
was referred to committee of the State
Bar association, of which Col. Aldace F.
Walker. then of Rutland, was chairman.
Other members of it were George f.
Lawrence, Esq, of Rutland and the late
James G. Barrett. The committee In
vestigated the man thoroughly and re-
ported against his admission. Last Oc-
t"ber, during the general term of the
supreme court at Montpelier, Love ap-
peared before the court and again asked
admission. The application was not
then acted upon, but at the session of
the supreme court for Windsor county,
last week, the certificate of admission
was granted.
1t would be interesting and enlighten-
Ing to have the court tell the public how
this man acquired the character they GER
tify he has for the court rules are specific
on this point. They say that "each APP
plicant for admission shall
be at least 2l years of age and of good
moral character. If Love was too dis
reputable to practice law in Vermont
eight years ago-and the committee had
no doubt upon this pont-how is he good
enough now? Until this is explained,
people aware of the facts involved will
wonder what the logic of the courts per-
formance was, anyhow, and may fairly
look upon il as disgrace to the bench
and an insult to tue bar.

Mr.. SANFoRD's REMARKS ON ADDISON
COUNTY.
BRANDON, Vt, Feb. 27, 1898.

OhANDONa Nb.s GU. lOOO.
Editor Of the Register:-I notice 10
your paper of last week quotation from
remarks of "Mr. Sanford, member of
the State board of agriculture".
Though not present at the interview
to hear the conversation, yet as he said
substantially the same thing at the pub
lie meetings in that county, think 1t
but just to the farmers of Addison coun-
~ and the board of agriculture that the
whole of Mr.. Sanford's remarks on this
subject should be quoted and not this
single sentence isolated from its explana-
tory accompaniment.
Mr.. Sanford stated In the meetings
that he had never before seen the Cham
plain valley, in this section, and that the
country from Addison to Shoreham
seemed to him to be the garden of YER
mont, naturally, and capable of i'm
mense production If farmed like some
of the hill towns of the eastern part of
the State. He said he could not help
but be reminded of how true was the
law of adaptation and that it was gen
eral law Of nature that men In general
labored only to support life; consequent
ly we found our best kept farms and
most thrifty farmers in those sections

"LOST IN LONDON.

The Portland (Me.) Press says of this
play and the company which is to give II
at the town hall in Middlebury Oh the ev-
ening of Friday, the 10Th inst. Last
evening Mr.. Newton Beers appeared at
Portland theatre in the familiar Lost
in London" supported by Miss Lora Ad-
Olson Cliff and very capable stock
company. Lost in London is very
popular play it has plenty of the COM
edy element and considerable pathos.
Mr.. Beers appears as job Armroyd. He
has pleasant presence, a strong voice,
is easy of gesture, and is well adapted ia
the part. Miss Laura Addison Cliff,
who is sub-starred with Mr.. Beers, is an
artist entirely worthy of the place as
signed her. AS Nellie Armroyd she
wins the sympathies of her audience at
the first and holds them with her to the
end. Miss Hattie Haynes, who plays
"Tiddy Dragglethrope", was the origi.
raj of this character in Mr.. Beers New
York production of the play. Mr.. Tom
my White, who appears in the principal
comedy role of Benjamin Blinker. is a
comedian of ability. The villain of the
piece is Mr.. Walter Holmes. Mr.. Holmes
bert Featherstone he makes an excellent
foil for Job, the hero of the play. Miss
Annie Laura Hook is sprightly little
sOubrette, and introduced her clever
dancing specialties in most pleasing
manner. The rest of the characters of the
play are in capable hands. Mr.. Samuel
Chadwick peases with his tenor songs
The scenic effects are especially good.

where nature had done but little for the
farmer. and that the hard struggle for
II living had developed in those sections
an industry, thrift and economy that
were perhaps not necessary to the Cham
plain valley. but which looked shiftless
and wasteful to him, coming from Sec
tiOn where everything had to be saved
and the severest labor expended to dig n
living from opposing forces of soil and
climate. He said that as he rode along
and met load after load of hay being
drawn to the market he could not help
feeling that while it gave present wealth,
1t was a mistake that would be felt by
the future owners of the soil, and that
the country needed converting to a new
system of agriculture and more in
tensive farming; also when he rode
past barns with wide cracks In the sta
bles and the manure thrown out under
the ewes, and saw stock feeding off the
ground at stacks, with open sheds for
shelter, he could not help feeling that it
was a wasteful, shiftless way of farm
ing, and that it was only the great
natural resources of the soil that pre-
vented the utter ruin of the farmers.
He said he believed if the farmers would
sell half their farms, put up comfortable
barns, stock it with good dairy cows,
stop selling hay and farm as did the
small dairy farmers of some other sec
tions of the State, they would have
really more money, would be help to
the world and leave to future genera
tions county of steadily increasing
fertility and unequaled in productive
ness by any section in this whole coun.
try.
