Died, in Waits River, VT, January
% 1894, Maria p, wife of III. G. Rich
ardson, aged 45 years, 8 months and
16 days. Mrs. Richardson was born at
Washington, VT, in 1918 Here she
made it her home until 1872, when she
was married to Thomas Chvnoweth and
moved to West Farlee. In 1877 Mr..
Chynoweth died, leaving her with two
small children, Mary and Ora Chy-
noweth, who now survive her.
For ten wears she lived with the chill
diem at Waits River, vt. In 1887 she
married II G.. Richardson, who now
survives her, Mrs. Richardson was
converted when about fourteen years
of age and soon after joined the Free
Baptist church at East Orange, where
she remained an accepted member I'M
til she changed her church relationship
to the Methodist church of w ats River
where she then resided
Here she was highly priced as an earn
est and faithful christian worker.
Her purpose all these years was to
please God and serve him. We feel she
has gone to meet the loved ones gone
before and best of all, her Savior Our
loss is her gain. While we deeply feel
the loss we would not for moment
wish our loved one back from that
world where there is no trouble, pain
or death.

On the average great fortunes in Amer
lea huve probably done more good and less
harm than might have been expected
They have undertaken enterprises which
could not otherwise have been undertaken
and tried experiments which could not
otherwise have been tried. The luxury
and display of their owners are limited by
the conditions of democratic society, which
among other things preclude large estab-
lishments of servants such as are kept by
the magnates Of Europe, since in America
one domestic will not take orders from an
other. Besides men who have made their
own fortunes commonly retain the sim
plicity of their early habits of life.
The worst sin of the millionaires as a
class probably has been the corruption of
politicians in the interest of railways or
other commercial concerns, and even here
they have acted largely on the defensive.
In politics they take little part, desiring
only to be let alone The worst Of them
is that they die and leave their wealth to
idle and worthless sons. We give up the
jeunesse doree of the great American cities
without reserve to Mr.. Stead's apostolic
severity, though we cannot go SO far as to
say with him of men convicted of no &C.
tual crime that ''any we'll regulated com
munity would be justified in sinking them
in the nearest bog till the breath had left
their bodies. Goodwin Smith in Contem.

A ROUGH GAME.
Bates Defeats olby-several Players
Injured.

Lewiston, November 17.-Bates beat
Colby today by a score of 10 to 8, in one
of the hardest fought games ever played
in Lewiston. Bates did the better team
and individual work, at critical times.
During the first half it looked as if Col
by would win, for her play gained con-
tlnually from the moment the ball was
kicked off by Brown of Bates. The
gains were small, but followed one an
other in rapid succession. They were
made by bucking the centre with such
vigor that the Bates line was broken re-
peatedly; but Bates took brace after
the first IS minutes, and held the Colby
men down to one we'll earned touch
down.
Captain Douglass of Bares did not
play until Huxley sprained his ankle.
Douglass,s appearance on the rheld in
creased Bates chances, and the men
played with renewed courage, which was
at once noticeable. Colby did not lose
the ball during the first half. She scored
once, aud had the, ball within Is yards
of the Bates line when time was called.
Brooks of Colby had his collar bone
broken and shoulder dislocated early In
the second half, and Cushing took his
place. Ford of Colby was put out of the
game ior smuggling III INC sdne ScriiH-
mage in which the accident to Brooks
happened, and Thompson was substitute
ed. Nat. Pulsifer of Bates was put out
for the same reason.
After these incidents Bates scored
touchdown. Thef Bates lost the balloon
a tumble soon after the next kick, and
Pattison made another touchdown for
Colby. Brown of Bates sent the ball SO
yards on the kicko, and Bates made
touchdown with two short scrim ngaes.
With the score tied by this play,
Brown kicked the goal, and during the
six minutes remaining Bates rushed the
ball so near to the Colby line that an
other touchdown for Bates was just
headed off by the call of time. The in
jured are Brooks, Thompson, Jordan,
Soule, Putnam and Snare.
