KINDERGARTENS.
A Meeting In Washington to Consider
Them.

Thorn.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 15-Miss
Clara Barton's usual weekly after
noon reception was recently merged
into the meeting for promoting the
kindergarten movement in this city,
the speaker of the day being her
guest, Mrs. Virginia I. Smith, OF
Hartford, Conn. Addresses were
made by Hon. William T. Harris,
commissioner of education, Hon. Car
roll d. Wright, Miss Kate Field, Mrs.
John G. Walker and others.
Mrs. Smiths talk was on kinder
garten methods and especially on her
own efforts in making the foundation
of kindergarten the subprimary
school in the district school system
of Connecticut. 1t has now been in
operation for several years and has
passed the experimental stage. Mrs.
Smith, who has been for many years
identified with the board of charities
in her state, held the attention of her
audience to the last minute of the
three quarters of an hour she ad-
dressed them. The genuineness of
the interest felt in this movement
| was manifested by the election of Of
to secure the establishment of free
| kindergartens throughout the dis
trict. Among the guests were Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs. Bissel, wife of the
postmaster general; Mrs. Harriet
Lane-J ohnston, Mrs. John q. Walk
er. Mrs. George d. Hearst, Miss Kate
Field. Supt. VIM. B. Powell, Mrs.
Gen. Greeley, Hon. Carroll ID.

dent Of the National institutes; Mrs.
Louise Pollock, DIR. j. B. Hubbeil.
John Hitz, Rev. Frank B. Sewell and
| many others prominent in social and
educational circles.
Mr.. CIevsland's Eudeavors.
Mrs. Cleveland has been identified
with the various endeavors for the
establishment of kindergartens in
New York, and her presence at Miss
Barton's, almost her first public aP-
pearance outside the White house,
was in consequence of her interest in
| kindergarten schools. Mrs. Cleve-
land had the middle seat in the semi
| circle of chairs facing Mrs. Smith.
| She received welcome from the
| gathering of ladies present that
| amounted to an ovation, and the
| meeting between the present and past
| nistresses of the White house was as
| that of old friends.
| Mrs. Cleveland wore a becoming
| gown of Scotch cheviot, with cape
| of dark blue cloth, and nobby
| round hat with light feather.

Disputed Question.

Scientists and electricians cannot
agree upon the number of electric
volts which are necessary to cause q
cessation of life in the human body;
some claim that an excessive shock
is more likely to cause incarceration
rather than instantaneous death, but
if they would turn their attention to
prolonging and increasing the pleas
ures of life, the public would hail
the result with more satisfaction
For instance. the electricity gener-
ated in a wave of laughter is after
all the most pleasant shock, and to
see a large assemblage moved by a
current of uncomfortable mirth
while witnessing the play of She
CouInd't Marry Three" places be-
vond dispute the fact that large volts
of laughter are better than volts of
electricity any day.

FUNERAL OF JUDGE sToDDARD.

The funeral of Hon. Abishai Stoddard
was held in the Baptist church at Towns
bend at 1890 last Saturday afternoon,
when a large company of men and women,
former townsmen and others, gathered to
pay tribute of sincere respect to his
memory. A special train from Brattleboro
carried a delegation of about 30 people,
among them Gov. Fuller and Judge II. II.
Wheeler and members of the bar from
Brattleboro and Bellows Falls, with other
prominent citizens. Several women were
in the company. The funeral was attend
ed by Rev. c. d. Il. Meacham, pastor of
the Baptist church at Townshend, who
conducted an impressive and dignified
service. Without attempting formal
sermon Mr.. Meacham spoke with excellent
taste and appreciation of Judge Stod-
dard as a man of sterling worth, as a citi-
zen interested and helpful in every good
cause, as lawyer true to the highest ideals
of his profession, as a public official who
had administered for SO many years with
fidelity the duties of probate judge, and,
lastly, as a member of that church, whose
faith and courage and helpfuness were
unfailing The pastor alluded with es-
pecial tenderness to the last time, in Janu-
airy of this year, when Judge Stoddard was
WIN AiC db q service,
and of the testimony which he then so
beautifully and simply bore to his faith in
the promises of the gospel, and in the
divine power to help and sustain. Appro-
pirate selections were sungSby the church
choir. The last services for the honored
dead were performed by the two surviving
sons of Judge Stoddard Hon. E. w. Stod-
dard of Brdttleboro and j. w. Stoddard of
Townshend, who, with the twin sons of
the former, acted as bearers and reverent-
ly lowered the body to its last resting
place.
1t was the courteous and thoughtful act
of the Central Vermont railroad company
to furnish without charge the special train
over the Brattleboro d Whitehall railroad
which carried the Bellows Falls and Brat
tleboro friends to the funeral-a fitting
acknowledgement of the part borne by
Judge Stoddard in securing the construc
ton of this road.

There was an amusing scene on the COM
mon yesterday. Matthew Sullivan and
Tom Lynch were flushing the sewers.
While they were measuring the ground the
hose fell out of the sewer, and the force of
the water threw it about in a lively way.
Sullivan pluckily grabbed the hose and had
an exciting wrestling match with it. He
was thrown about, ard yelled like Co
manche on the war path, and before the
hose was under control he was drenched.

"worth a dollar"

and is still unable to move. Twelve per

plosion, the two friends who accompanied
DIR. Lawton being among those killed.
DIR. Lawton's recovery is considered doubt

DEATH OF MRS. s. A. MORSE.

Mrs. Janette Rand Morse died of pneu-
mOnla al her home on Elliot street at $50
Tuesday morning. The fact of her illness
was not generally known, and the an
nouncement of her death came to her
friends with a shock of surprise and
sorrow. She returned only last week from
visit to her sister in Massachusetts,
seeming to be in unusually good health.
Friday the first symptoms of pneumonia
developed, and by Sunday night the disease
had made such progress as To leave little
hope of recovery. Mrs. Morse's age was
% years. She was born in Dummerston,
and was the oldest of the five children of
the late Davis and Nancy (Willard) Rand,
In her childhood the family moved to
Brattleboro, and practically the whole of
her active life was spent here. Her hus-
band was Sidney A. Morse, an old-time
stage driver and well-known liveryman,
who occupied the stand now owned by
George b. White. Mr.. Morse died in
May, 1869. Only one child was born of
the marriage, Miss Jennie c. Morse, who
has been her mothers inseparable COM
panion, and on whom this sudden blow
falls with peculiar heaviness. Mrs. Morse
was woman of great self-poise, of I'M
usual refinement, and possessed a native
kindness and dignity which won sincere
love and respect. She was actively identi-
fled with the life of the Unitarian church.
She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. How
ard A. Pratt of this village and Mrs. f.
NJ. Ward, whose home is now with her
sons in Waltham, Mass. The funeral took
place from the house yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. Leavitt, the Unitarian pastor,

OPENING OF Y. M. C. A. COURSE.

= An suspicious opening, truly. A redn-
ed, cultured group of artists compose the
New York Philharmonic club, and the
playing was not whit behind the appear
ance. The initial number, the initial bar,
in fact, stamped that fact indelibly, and it
was settled that no mistake had been made
in the selection of the company to open
the course. There was that conscientious
treatment Of every number which betokens
always and everywhere the true artist. In
ensemble playing their work was of high
order. To say that as soloists they eXcelled
all previous visitors would be perhaps too
high praise, for we cannot forget viollnists
like Wilhelmj, Remenyi, Allen, or 'cellists
like Giese, or tlutists like Heindl; but
there was little left to be desired.
In Mr.. Marcasson's playing, difficulties
insurmOuntable to most artists were over
come without effort and with none of the
"smart" "I-told-you-so" air of the preco-
cious amateur.
OF Miss Weed, the singer, only COM
mendation can be written. To natures
charms, with modest and attractive stage
presence, has been added a mezzo voice of
beautiful quality, sufficient compass and
excellent method. Her selections were
very pleasing and with discretion. She
will be welcomed to Brattleboro again, We
hope.
The club have made for themselves a
place in the appreciation of Brattleboro
music lovers. Come again.
