MRS. LUCY HYDE DAVIS.

Mrs. Lucy Hyde Davis died on Thurs
day, June Is, at the residence of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Henry Cannon, at Irvington-on-
Hudson, n. Y. She had been gradually
falling since October last, and from early
In December until her death, had been
confined to her room, but she was watched
over and cheered by such loving and tender
care on the part of her daughter, her SON
in-law, and their children, that the last
months of her life were made singularly
bright and happy.
1t fell to my lot as the rector of the par
ish, to visit Mrs. Davis in her illness and
to minister at her bedside in those blessed
services, which have soothed and comforted
IN their last hours, so many generations of
manhood who live and die in the faith of
Christs holy church, but it is not often
have ministered to one of such singu-
larly intelligent and bright mind, of so
gentle, unsel6sh and pure nature-not a
word or look of impotence was ever heard
on her lips or seen on her face during
these long months of weariness-but Gods
Will was borne witha quiet dignity and an
earnest cheerfulness which could not fail
TO inspire all who saw her.
Mrs. Davis was 10 when she died. Ex-
cept to those who knew her age it would
not have seemed possible, so intelligent and
active was her interest in affairs, so fresh
and warm her sympathies in the interests
OF Others. The funeral services were held
at the home of Mrs. Cannon on Monday
and the interment was in Sleepy Hollow
cemetery at Tarrytown, N. Y. Mrs. Davis
was daughter of Col. Paul Chase and
leaves three children.

THE CHORAL UNION.
The "Holy City" TO be Repeated at the
Congregational Church Thursday
EVENING.

The "Holy City" TO be Repeated at the
Congregational Church Thursday
Evening.
The work done by the Choral Union at
the concert last week in the auditorium
was so Unexpectedly good and the whole
concert so delightful that there have been
numerous requests to the committee in
charge that the "Holy city, be repeated, so
that they may have an opportunity of
hearing the work again, and that those not
present at the concert may have another
chance to see what good work this choral
organization is doing and what delightful
music this is that has so captivated the
chorus and hearers.
1t has therefore seemed advisable 10 the
officers of the union, after consulting the
soloists and a majority of the chorus to
repeat the "Holy city, in the Congrega-
tional church next Thursday evening. The
chorus seats will be built up from the floor
TO the organ, and Mr.. Lucien Howe has
kindly consented to preside at that instru-
ment.
The management wish it distinctly I'M
derstood that this concert is to be given for
the good of the community. The aim is
simply to give everyone in town an oppor-
tunity to hear beautiful cantata well rem
uereu. II IL cOuld De Tree 10 all the
management would gladly have it so, but
the expenses must be met, and so it is nee
essary to charge a small admission. 1t is
hoped that the townspeople will recognize
what those in charge of the renting of
the auditorium have apparently not yet
recognized-that this Choral Union is aim
ing to do a philanthropic work, that its
members and officers are giving much
time and energy to the work of cultivating
higher musical taste in the community,
that there is no plan or desire to make
money out of the concerts, except to pay
fer the best talent available, and that
therefore the townspeople owe it as duty
to help in this good work, even if they are
not sufficiently interested in music to
know musical bargain when they hear it.

The West Brattleboro people are greatly
indebted to- the department but for whose
timely arrival the fire would have swept
the north side of Main street as far as w.
d. d j. L. StockwelPs on the east and
several rods on the west, and would have
involved loss of many thousands of dol
lars.
The first car that went to the fire Satur-
day night carried over 100 passengers
Over 90 fares were collected. In their
rush several got on without money to pay
their fare, but they went up all the same.
The cars ran till ) o'clock in the morning
and started out again at instead of 9
o'clock as is usual on Sunday mornings.
Over 5000 passengers were carried Sunday.
Was the West Brattleboro fire of incen-
diary origin? The Stratton building and
the hotel barn were about 70 feet apart
while both buildings practically adjoined
opposite corners of the Clark block. Not
outstanding that fact it is stated on good
authority that the Stratton Building, the
hotel barn, which had an iron roof, and the
Knapp building were ablaze before the
Clark block caught. If that is true it is
evident that the fire was set.
