Tribute to the Memory of Miss Stuart.

Editor of the Bellows Falls TIMES,
have Just learned of the sad death of
Miss Mary Stuart, of your city, likewise
that of her mother deceased only week
before. | would be pleased to express in
your columns few words in appreciation
of her life. A little over year ago Miss
Stuart came to our University. Through
out the entire year we ate at the same
table. Her quiet, unassuming way did not
make acquaintance fast at first, but SO
noble heart could not long withhold from
winning many true friends. In the intel
lectual, social and religious life of the Uni
versity, she endeared herself to both stu
dents and teachers. We who knew her
best observed many little acts of kindness
that not one in thousand would think Of
doing, or could not do if they would. The
better she was known the more highly she
was esteemed by all. When any of oul
number were sick, she invariably put forth
helping hand and in her touch was heal
ing. When one was in the hospital she
wrote words of cheer and comfort to him
When another from our number was strick
en- in death, she was the first to show sin
cere and helpful sympathy. IT'S sad those
ears are deaf to the voice of the many
thousands who have learned to can hel
blessed" This world has lost one of it
choicest souls and feels much the poore
for it. but the beautiful spirit of Christian
devotion exemplifed in her life will not b
forgotten, but find home in many humal
hearts. Surely her life was like the pour
ing forth Of precious ointment In this world

Annie PixIey's 1.-The Deacon's Daughter"

AS presented by Lillian Kennedy and her
company has its serious sides as well as its
bright ones. 1t is story of country
girl who went to the city OF New York as
a nurse, took to the stage and was highly
successful, though her parents detested
actors. Her father comes to the city to
visit her. She practices a pleasant decep-
ton on him through her maid and is forced
to leave the city and take up her home on
the parental farm, where the bane of her
life is wash tub and rubbing board. The
sheriff seizes her fathers farm to satisfy a
mortgage and she returns to the city where
her successes continue and her wealth cor
respondingly increases. Through her lover
Charlie Lawton, her father is induced to
visit New York and is gradually trans
formed from straight-laced church deacon
to man of the world and finally learns
the truth of his daughters happiness. Al

There are many people who would be glad
to abandon the habit of drinking coffee If
they could only find some substitute for it
That substitute is Grain-O, made from pure
grains and, in the opinion of those who have
given it a thorough trial, a beverage in every
way preferable to coffee. Grain.O is not 8
stimulant-it is something better. 1t is
cheering, nutritious and strengthening. In
other words it is a food-drink. as coffee is

The third disastrous fire within two years
occurred Tuesday morning in Townshend,
four buildings being destroyed and eight
or nine families made homeless. The fire

and $3.50 in the Connecticut of Hartford

tents was about $4,000 with an insurance in
the Fitchburg Mutual of $1,000 and the

MoREToN A. DURkEE

She was always cheerful, thoughtful Of
others, forgetful Of self. We mourn the
loss OF true friend and sister, and thank
God that our lives are nobler and better
for her having lived.
These words but poorly express a small
part Of Miss Stuart's service here, and the
appreciation of her by a host of true friends
May God send forth more of such laborers.
While we share, with many others, the loss
of true and faithful friend, we wish to ex-
press earnest and prayertul words of Chris
tian sympathy to the much bereaved ones
OF her own home.
Very truly yours,

Barney Jacobs Dead.

Mr. Barney Jacobs, who has been
sick SO long, died in this city yes
terday morning at 8 o'clock.
Deceased came here several years
ago from Hope, aud entered into
business, but his health failed him
and he has been a physical wreck
for the past tive years. His friends
sent him to a hospital in New Or
leans last year, and he remained
away some three or four months,
and finally returned here and has
not followed any occupation since,
as his wasted condition would not
admit of work.
His remains we're carried to the
Reeves and Schicker Undertaking
establishment and prepared for
burial-the services to take place
at early 7 o'clock this morning.
Barney Jacobs was well thought of
by his associates, and those who
knew him well, are sorry at his
death. We trust he has gone to a
better world
