Senator Frye said TO Star re-
porter: 1T is too absurd TO be
true. 1t is beyond comprehension
how Minister of the United
States. with the intelligence with
which Mr.. Willis is supposed to be
endowed, should demand abdica-
ton of the Provisional Government,
as the dispatches say, in the name
of the Government of the United
States l cannot believe that Mr..
Willis, with his acquaintance with
American history, should for an in
slant assume that he is acting in
behalf of the Government of the
United States when the Congress,
which is SO important part of the
Government, has no. only refused
consent TO the restoration of the
queen, but has taken action dis
tinctly in opposition TO that propo-
sition.
Il can conceive Of no such posi-
bility as the peaceful surrender Of
the Provisional Government The
idea that the queen should promise
amnesty 70 two or three thousand
Anglo-Saxons, armed with Win
chesters and indomitable courage,
and expect them TO step down
and out for her, is TOO absurd
to be believed for a moment.
Mr.. Willis is q man of intelli-
gence, and I DO not think that
be, with the knowledge of the sem
timent here that by this time he
must have, could have made such
an egregious blunder."
This sentiment is the prevailing
one, and there are few who express
any belief in the assertion that
Minister Willis has taken the step
which is reported in the dispatches.
MIsDIRECTED DIPLOMACY.
Mr.. Chandler looks upon the act
OF Mr.. Willis as the last scene in
this chapter of ''misdirec,ed diplo-
macy" and says that he is inclined
to think that if Mr.. Willis has
made this demand he mas done it
in formal manner, and that the
Provisional Government will no
doubt take the papers, file them
away and preserve their own lives
without regard to the queens offer
Of amnesty and, while they are
about it, preserve their form of gov
eminent too.-Washington Star.

Excitement in the United States
Over is Receipt.
COULD NOT BELIEVE IT POSSIBLE.
Extracts From the New York World.
Staunch Democratic Paper-Seua-
tors Frye and Cullom Also Discredit
the Probability Of that Dispatch.

Ii viii 0e remembered that in
November last, the steamship Ala
media brought later news from
Washington, via London and Auck-
land, than had before been received
here, the particulars of which Gre
ated no little excitement and indig-
nation among our people.
The same vessel, on her return
TO Auckland from this port, which
she left December 22d, carried cop
les o: this paper containing news
of the demand made by Minister
Willis on the Provisiona. Govern
ment, which was teiegraphed thence
to London and Washington, and
appeared III the dailies of al the
principal cities on the 4th and 9th
of January. It's receipt created
great indignation in the United
States, but the news was generally
discredited, just as the Auckland
telegram was discredited here in
November.
The following from the New York
World, strong Democratic paper,
and the San Francisco Call, both
of January 5th, shows how intense
" public feeling was aroused:
IT CANNOT BE POSSIBLE.
We are not ready TO believe the
report which comes by way Of Auek-
land that Minister Willis has de-
manded that the officers of the
Provisional Government in Hawaii
shall relinquish their Office and let
the deposed queen resume her for
mer authority in the government.
There has been q free and very en-
phatic expression Of opinion in this
country regarding the restoration
policy since it was broached. 1t
does not seem possible that the
President has not been instructed
by it, or that in defiance of it he
has left Mr.. Willis at liberty to
commit such folly.-N. Y. World.

RUFUS r. ORM Shy.

Rufus Flint Ormsby died at his home in
Bradford on Sunday Jan. 18th, 1894. at the
age of 70 years, 8 months, days He was
born at Fairlee. VT, on the farm now own
ed by w. E. 5. Celley, Esq, and that farm
was purchased back in the eighteenth CEN
fury by lchabod Ormsby, who came from
woodstock, Conn, and purchased quite
large tract OF land just north Of the Falrlee
mountain in the valley of the Connecticut
river and returned to Woodstock, Conn,
and several of his friends and brothers
came to Vermont with him. The subject
Of this sketch was the son of Rufus Orms-
by, who was the son Of Joseph Ormsby and
brother to ichabOd who made the first pur-
chase OF the land aforesaid, cousin of Il.
Nick. Ormsby, the author of the History of
the Wing Party, who was a son of DR..
Joseph OrmSby, very successful physician
who lived and died in the town OF COrlnth.
Mr.. Ormsby lived for years on the farm
mountain but in 1860 he purchased farm
down on the Connecticut river where he
had since lived and died. He had the re-
spect and esteem OF the people of tn6 town
where he lived, as was demonstrated by the
many Offices Of trust that he had been elect
ed to by the people of the town of Bradford
He had been selectman many times Il lister
OF the town, justice of the peace, and other
offices that were the gift of the people.
lie was man of undOubted integrity. He
was very hospitable man. HishOuse was
always open to all of his relatives, friends
and acquaintance
lie was kind and atfectiOnate husband,
father and neighbOr. He had been lead
ing man of the democratic party for more
than fifty years and had had the confidence
and respect of the men of that party, as
was shown by the honorable positions that
they had placed him in. Dec. 14th, 1848 he
married Mary II. Colby, daughter of the
late Jacob G. Colby of Bradford. He leaves
wife and four daughters, Mrs. Sarah E.
Durgin, Mrs. Ii. P. Emerson, Mrs. H. A.
Winship, Mrs. g. Ii. Peters. Mr.. Ormsby
had been in poor health for about seven
years. Two years ago he had the grip from
which he never recovered. The funeral
was held at his late residence, Rev. L. p.
Tucker officiating, at one o'clock in the af-
ternoon of Tuesday Jan. 10Th, and he was
buried in the Bradford cemetery. The
family have the sincere sympathy of the
entire community in this their great and
sad bereavement and aff1ictiOn.

1t was with profound grief that we re-
ceived the news last Monday morning of
the sudden death of Miss Helen NJ Low,
We knew of her illness in Brooklyn N. Y,
but had understood that she was better and
on the fair way of recovery; but it seems
now that her physicians had no hope of her
recovery from the first.
No woman in our entire community stood
in any higher estimation for all that was
good and worthy than Miss Low. She was
a sterling woman, as modern in all her ideas
as the youngest, and yet maintained those
old characteristics of life that made her
he was when the leading business man of
Bradford. She was a bright woman in
every sense, heartily loving, companions
BILE, and christian of the best type, and
her death is vital loss to the old Low
mansion, the social life of Bradford, and to
the Congregational church of which she
was member since 1897. Mr. Lees, her
pastor, oficiated at the funeral.

HELEN M. LOW.

A modest, unobtrusive, unaffected figure
--self-c0ntained and Observation-Disclosures
CHEEKY, ever pleasantly responsive to every
body's salute, Helen Nj. Low has gone out
and in among us for nearly seventy years,
known and respected by every inhabitant
of our village, most dearly beloved by those
who knew her best, and most highly es-
teemed by those most familiar with her de-
votl0n to duty and steadfast fidelity to her
conception of right Perhaps this word
'''fdelity'' most truly expresses the govern
ing trait of her character Her place in
life has seemed to be that of a faithful deVO-
tee to the needs of others, to the utter alb
negation of herself How necessary and
how dear she made herself in turn to her
parents, to her brother and sisters, and to
the younger following who have come into
and gone out of the old homestead In which
she was born and from which she was on
tuesday last so sOrrOwfully followed to
the rest her fidelity 1aS earned-none know
but those who have been the recipients OF
her constant, her untiring, and her loving
ministrations; and she lost her life in the
scene of one of it's highest enioyments- "a
l0ng-cOntemplated visit to the homes of the
objects of her love and loyalty-in which
her reception was an unmixed joy, and the
calamity which so speedily and so uneX-
pectedly followed, deep and wOrdless
sorrow.
This community will regret with her
nearby sister and remoter dear ones, the
disappearance from its wOnted places, OF
the familiar figure and the faithful soul of
dear Aunt Helen," and it will earnestly
Sympathize with the loss which her untlme-
ly departure has entaled and all will hear
lilly agree, that within her sphere of duty,
none more honestly earned that nObleSt OF
epltaphs-"She did what she could"

The Village Report.

The annual report of the financial
affairs of the Village of Bradford has
been issued from this office. The trus-
tees report shows that orders have
been drawn to the amount of S2527 So
as follows: Sidewalks 1902 73, high
ways 1888 4S, fire department 1868 70,
printing $S3 80, drawn for cash $500,
land damages $45 90, watering troughs
1913 65, sundries 5000 II. The finan-
cial condition is as follows: The treas
urer has cash on hand $2l0 32, there
will be due from the water commits
sion during the year S2675 90 The
trustees have borrowed for the use of
water commission $500 90, on which
there will be interest due to the amount
of S175, there will also be due interest
on water bonds $1450 90, and due to
the water commission for water for
the hydrants and watering troughs to
Dec. 1894, $1553.66. The trustees rec
ommend that a concrete sidewalk be
built on the east side Of Main street ex-
crossing in front of the OPINION build
ing. The trustees close their report
with the GLAD prophecy that the tax
rate will not exceed so cents on a dol
lar of the grand list.
Treasurer Bakers report shows that
he has received for highway tax S1020
90, for village corporation tax $3814 Is.
for peddler's licenses S34 90, for state
highway tax $29.S7. His total receipts
were $6242 .29.
Commissioner Farnham's introduc.
ton to the third report of the water
commission shows that over mile and
a half of the pipe line was relaid the
past summer and there were many ex-
tensions to the system, including about
800 feet under Waits river at the Bald
win bridge, that portion of the pipe
under the river, about 100 feet, is of
wrought iron. There are now seventy
eight takers of city water, thirty hy-
drants and three watering troughs, and
the OPINION machinery is also driven
by the water. The total cost of the
water works to date is S38, 81448 The ]
report closes thus: "Our water works
have cost us much more than was an
but we can congratulate our
selves upon having as good system |
for the supply of water as there is in
Vermont"
We find that should the coming
grand list be the same as now, that a I
AK of 40 cents would give US over a
thousand dollars to expend for village !
expenses, which in view of the close
lines should be ample for the coming
year. Give us low taxes for 1894 is
he public demand.
