 -Wauseon Lodge, 1. o. 0. F., meets next Tuesday evening.
 It is not often that such general pub lie sympathy is aroused in our community as that this week extended to Mir. and Mrs. Josiah Converse on the death of their daughter, Mabel. A few years ago their fond hopes and expectations rested upon two children just approaching maturity. The eldest, a daughter, suddenly devel- oped symptoms of lung disease. The mother started with her for the west, and while gone the son died of pneumonia, his illness being so brief that the mother did not reach home in time to see him alive. The intervening years have been periods of alternate hope and fear concerning the
 
 seemed likely to recover. She was am- bilious and active to the last, helpful in home, church and society work. Her last illness was very brief. About week be- fore her death she went to Springfield on & shopping tour and returned fatigued. Nervous prostration followed, and she died on Saturday last, aged % years. She had as many warm friends as acquaint- anees. Born of parents both of whom were members of old Stafford families, the circle of relatives was large one. All the young people of the village are count ed as mourners, and the entire population of the town as heartfelt sympathizers with the bereaEed parents.
 The big town safe was removed to Clerk Fisk's office in the Bank building on Saturday.
 Charles Davis was called to Pascoag, R. l., last Saturday by news of the death of his father, and business there will re- quire his absence from town for several days.
 W. L. Warner has resigned the man. agement of the Stafford Springs Electric Light plant, and B. Keller from Elizabeth, N. J., succeeds him. MT. Warner will go to Chicago to take charge of the chem istry department at Norton Bros. tin plate works. This firm is one of the few of tin plate manufectories in this country, and seems to have taken permanent root un- der the fostering of the Mckinley bill. They employ 1000 workmen already, and have heretofore had their analytical work done outside. MT. Warner gets the em- ployment on the recommendation of a college classmate connected with the firm, his special study at college having been in the line of chemistry. The opening is a good one for him, and this fact goes to reconcile his many Stafford friends to his removal.
 Michael O'Halloran has entered the employ of c. H. Baker $ Go, and Frank w. Carpenter, for many years with w. 6. Ellis, grocer, succeeds O'Halloran in Andrew Whiton's grocery. Owen East man, in turn, is added to the working force at Ellis
 Levi Gary has sold to G. H. Baker & Go. his Stable and lot in the rear of their furniture warehouse, who will build an extension upon it for theextension of their business. In exchange Gary gets lot on Furnace Avenue next north of Kings bury's building, where he will build a stable, if in the front of the lot of brick if in the rear of wood, the court of bur gesses having refused him permission to build of wood within the fire limits. The Baker Co., extension will also be of brick.
 There will be no service at Grace church tomorrow (Friday) evening, the rector, MT. Brown, being out of town.
