LAST NIaHr,s EXERCISES.
The Meeting Held Under the Auspices of
stephens Post.

SIopncus
Under the auspices OF Stephens Post,
G. A. R., memorial exercises were given
In Westwood's hall, South Side, last
night. The entire carefully prepared
programme, and all connected with the
meeting, was completely successful.
The hall was very prettily decorated,
and the crowd was just large enough to
completely fill the large hall. Liberal
applause was given the performers, and
strict attention was paid TO all exer-
ciseS
The memorial services Of the G. A.
R., on such occasions, was conducted by
Comrades Ankle, Crago, Burtt and Ray.
O.ening the programme, was well
rendered piano solo by Miss Gertrude
McClelland, and a very fine piano duet
followed by the Misses Lulu Ferguson
and Lizzie Nolte. Rev. Perry, pastor OF
the Methodist Church, South Side, made
the address Of the evening. He defined
war, and spoke OF ancient and modern
struggles. Both the men who wore blue
and the gray, as valiant as ever went
on battle field,.or as courageous as any
Spartan or Greclan, went into the civil
war and fought for what they believed
right. The Civil with the Revolutionary
war was contraSted, aud the late war
shown TO have been the greatest in
many ways. In conclusion, the present
peace OF the nation was commented
upon.
An appropriate selection, well rem
dered vocal solo, followed by Mrs. Nc
CleIlen. 1.-THE Depressing Of the Rebel
ling" was the subject Of the declama-
ton, by Miss Molie Simms. Her selec-
lion was good one, and her elocution
excellent; the closest Of attention was
paid to her effort. Prof. Il. II. Crago,
made an interesting talk, giving a part
of the q. A. K. history, and lauded De-
coration day. He said there were not
over two-hundred soldiers attended all
the cemeteries yesterday. He believed
the q. A. r. in Wheeling should nun.
Der over fve-hundred. c. L. Reed,
sang touching solo, "LeonOre, "
in clear impressive manner.
Charles Burt came next in
his recitation, "The WhiStling
Regiment" 1t was a story of love aud
war, and Mr.. BGrtt spoke in an impress
sive way, which evoked loud applause.

the result of the commissions deliberations
was to declare Mr. Hayes elected He was
maugurated March >, 1877, and his admin
istration was one of the purest and strong
est which the country has ever had. 1t
was mmistakably the upright, straight
forward course Of the Hayes adminstra-
tion which made Gariicld's election posi-
be in 1850.
Since his retirement from the presidency
Mr. Hayes has been a constant cXempliIi-
cation of what useful place an eX-presi-
dent may fill in the life Of his country. In
behalf OF Indian rights and the education
of the negro, as president of the prison
reform association, as an active member of
the national conference of charities and
correction, and in many minor ways, his
ing of his countrymen, Of whatever class,
has been constant and unccasing. More
over, it has been none the less effective be-
cause it has been modestly and quietly
done without ever obtruding himself on
the public attention He has been the
target Tor the glbes and dmlsrepresentallohS
of men of mean souls and debased in
stncts, but his pure life and stainless rec
ord had at least shamed even these into ST.
lence A bright and revered name on the
page of American history will always re-
main that of Rutherford b. Hayes.
Mr.. Hayes married in 1852, Lucy Webb
Hayes, the daughter of a Chilicothe, Ohio,
physician and woman of the rarest
graces of heart and person and character.
OF the eight children born to them, four,
three sons and a daughter, survive. Since
the death of Mrs. Hayes-a crushing blow
from which the eX-President never fully
recovered-his personal and domestic in
terestS have been bound up in his children
and grandchildren
The funeral of Mr.. Hayes will be held
at Fremont today.

The period of extreme cold weather,
which has been upon the country since New
Years, and which is, in fact, an extension
and intensification of the unusually severe
weather of December, will go upon record
as one of the most remarkable which this
Generation, at least, has experienced. 1t
covers the whole territory east of the Rocky
mountains, and its effects are felt down to
the southern tip of Florida. Even in the
northern part of that state freezing tenn
perature has been experienced. Georgia
and the Carolinas are covered with snow
AS far south as Chattanooga the city water
supply is frozen up. At Charlestown,
w. Va, last Friday, when Senator Kenna
of that state was buried, the mercury hung
close to zero all day and a heavy snow
storm prevailed. In all that section there
is more snow than in Vermont. For the
second time in history an ice gorge has
formed in the Mississippi river at Mem
phis, Tenn. Throughout the Northwest
intense cold prevails, and temperatures of
25 to 40 degrees below zero have not been
unusual From all over the continent of
Europe come reports of severe cold and
driving snow storms. TO us of New Eng
land, with snug well-warmed houses and
abundant clothing, there is a certain tonic
and delight in meeting and resisting such
visitation. 1t is in southern lattudes,
where the cold is unusual and there is nc
adeouatp DrOyiSiOn for protection against
it, that the real suffering is caused.

4 Chnpter orLocnI Interest.

As stated in our article on eX-President
Hayes, his ancestry on both sides was of
Windham county origin The Hayes fam
lily was of Scotch descent. George Hayes,
its progenitor in this country, came from
Scotland and settled in Connecticut in
1852. The great-great grandfather of eX-
President Hayes, Daniel Hayes, was cap
tured by the Indians in 1902 and carried
to Canada, where he was kept prisoner
for five wears The eXPresident's grand
father, Rutherford Hayes, came to West
Brattleboro from New Haven, Conn, in
February, 1897. He was blacksmith by
trade The early settlers needed his serv-
ices, and it is recorded that, to induce him
to settle among them, they made bee,
shoveled away the deep snow, and helped
to build the shop in which he set to work
at his trade. He proved himself a man of
substance and high character in the COM
mnnity, as did his son, Rutherford, jr.,
the father of the eX-President, who was
born in 1877. Rutherford Hayes, jr., was
for time a clerk in a store at Wilmington,
where he became acquainted with Miss So
phia Birchard. whom he married in 1913,
a year after he had gone into trade with
John Noyes in the old store at Dummer-
ston Centre. In 1917 they removed to
Delaware, Ohio, where the future Presi-
cent was born, as is elsewhere related.
Sardis Birchard of Fremont Ohio,
brother of the ex-president's mother, was
man of ample means, and at his death in
1873 bequeathed the main portion of his
estate to the then Governor Hayes. Aus
tin Birchard, another brother, was for
many years an esteemed resident of New
fame. The death of Mary Birchard, the
daughter of Austin Birchard, and cousin
of the late president, in the shocking
bridge disaster at Ashtabula, Ohio, is well
remembered.
AS the guest of their cousin, Mrs. Wm
ii. Bigelow, and her husband, then of
West Brattleboro, President and Mrs.
Hayes, with two of their sons, and Miss
Foote, young lady friend, paid visit to
Brattleboro in August, 1877. On the next
evening after their arrival President and
Mrs. Hayes were given a reception at the
Brooks House, which was very numerously
attended and was the most notable event
of its kind which has ever occurred in
Brattleboro. The day had been spent in
a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Austin Birchard al
| Newfane, and while there an impromptu
reception was given the distinguished
guests by the citizens and school children
The Brattleboro reception occurred Friday
evening, August II, and the next day the
party continued their journey, going t.
Bellows Falls by special train, accompa
MED by delegation of leading citizens.
Since the death of Mrs. Hayes the ex
president has been yearly visitor in Brat
tleboro, the old ties of relationship anC
early association growing stronger in hi
years of bereavement and loneliness. Hi
last visit was in August of last year, wheI
several days were spent at the Brook
House, and with his cousins, Mrs. Bigelov
and Mrs. Dewitt, and the children of tn
latter. He was afterward the guest of tn
Forest and Stream club at Wilmington.

Ex-President Hayes died suddenly. at II
o'clock Monday night, at his home in Ere

ralgia of the heart Mr.. Hayes had suf-
fcred one or two slight attacks of this NAL
ady within the past month. They soon
passed away, however, and were not looked
upon as alarming. On Monday OF last
week he left home on trip to Columbus,
Buffalo and Cleveland. At the latter city
he spent a few days with his son Webb.
While there, last Saturday, he experienced
a severe recurrence of the neuralgic diff

lie was met at the station by his son Ruth
erford and DR.. Hilbsh, the family physi
clan, who had been notified by telegraph.
The violent pains in his chest continued
after he reached home, and he was much
prostrated on Sunday, but the physician
encouraged the family to believe that, while
the patients condition was dangerous, the
attack would undoubtedly pass away For
this reason no public announcement was
made of the eX-president's illness. Early
Monday evening there was a change for
the worse, and death came, quietly and
peacefully, few hours later Mr.. Hayes
last thoughts were of his dead wife, and

ON the second page of this paper there
are printed additional letters from Hon. B.
d. Harris and eN-Judge Shea on the street
railroad question. While they add moth
ing intrnsically new to the discussion,
they will be read with interest. The build
ing of street railroad in Brattleboro does
not seem to us to be imminent, but we
think, nevertheless, there are certain well
defined points which should be kept in
mind. If street railway can be built
anywhere under a state charter one can be
built here. If there are fundamental prin-
ciples of law which forbid the use of our
streets for such purpose, without the
consent of the abuttors and payment of
damages to them, these principles are of
universal application. A mere "threat of
the law" therefore, will not suffice to
scare off discussion of the project. The
real question, then, is whether we need a
street railroad and whether its construc-
tion would convenience our people, be to
our business advantage, and conduce to our
growth in degree sufficient to compensate
for whatever of damage and inconvenience,
and injury to the beauty of our streets,
would result from its introduction. 1t
is also foremost question, as we conceive,
whether our home capitalists have sutii-
cient interest in the enterprise, and conf
dence in its success, to provide the money
for building the road. let us discuss the
subject on a broad and open-minded basis,
and not on lines which, if adhered to,
would shut out every modern improve
ment, and keep Brattleboroa back number
