FUNERAL OF MRS. BECKLEY.

The funeral of the late Mrs Adeline Beckley was attended at the Pilgrim church last Friday afternoon. The funeral party of sixty or more relatives and friends from New Hartford arrived in special car attached to the 9 47 p. m. train. The remains were conveyed directly from the station to the church. Relatives were present from St. Paul, Minn., Boston and PittsHeld, Mass ,and Huntsville, Conn. A large number of friends and old acquaintances from Ca naan and vicinity were also present
 The Rev O. D. Milliken conducted the services. He read appropriate se- lections of scripture. including Psalm XXIU, and then made comforting re- marks. He paid fitting tribute to the christian character of the departed. and called especial attention to the fact that Mrs Beckley was one of the few who always wished to talk of spiritual things whenever he met her. He read state ment which she wrote few years ago concerning her religious belief and ex- perience, statement which was found among her papers after her decease.
 The quartette of the Park Street Church in Hartford finely rendered three selections during the services, viz. the anthems "Come unto Me-" "Come ye Disconsolate," and"I heard the voice of Jesus say"
 The remains reposed in black broadcloth covered casket on which rested an elegant floral design of ferns, smllax. carnations, and white, pink and yellow roses; also an ivy wreath with 8 cluster of white roses and fresias. The sun was sinking behind the western hills as the procession wended its way from the church to the lower cemetery where the remains were tenderly laid to rest among her kindred.
 The bearers were Messrs J. c. Rich. mond, H. B Stevens, H. c. Barnes, J A. Underwood, D. l.. Freeman, J. W. Peet.

EIGHTY-SEyEN YEARS OLD.
Kneeland Munson Celebrates the
 S7th Anniversary of his Birth.

KneeIand Munson Celebrates the
 s7th Anniversary ofhis Birth.
 On Decem Der l, 1909 there was joy in the Munson homestead near the southern shore of Lake Wangum on Canaan mountain, for then snd there Kneeland J. Munson was born. Like wise on December l, 1896 there was joy in the Munson household at Millerton, N. Y, for then and there Kneeland J. Munson celebrated his S7th anniversary, surrounded by fifteen of his relatives. The latter occasion was especially joy ful from the fact that MT Munson has nearly recovered from long and serious illness, and bids fair to become a ceutenarian.
 MT Munson is the last of his genera tion, the only survivor of his fathers family of twelve children. He is 8 lineal descendant of Thomas Munson who was born in England in 1912 and came to this country in 1885 or 1887 and died in 1885. The genealogy is as fol- lows: Thomas-Ssmuel-Stephen- Jabez-Joshua-Kneeland.
 Mir Munson's wife died quarter century ago but nine of his children are living, and five were present at the celebration of his S7th anniversary. Three daughters who live in South Carolina, and one son who lives in Cali fornia, were absent.
 Some of the guests last Tuesday came on the cars, and some in car riages. All had arrived at noon, and were congrstulsting the host and visiting with each other. It was happy party. At 1.30 p m. asumptuous and epicurean feast was served. The abundance and variety surpassed many an old fashion ed Thanksgiving dinner. One of the guests attempted to enumerate the diff ferent kinds of food, but gave up in dispair and remarked "I think there are ST varieties, just the number that corresponds with the number of years Mir Munson has lived" Be that as ii may, there were oysters, roast turkey, chicken pie, sparerib. all the vegetables of the season, sauces, gravies, and jellies. celery, pickles and preserves, bread, cakes, pies, and puddings. bananas, grapes and nuts, coffee and tea, etc, etc.
 Besides the host there were present Mir and Mrs Platt Payne and their two sons, Wilfred and Edward, Miss Della Munson and Mir K E. E. Munson, all of Millerton; Mrs Frank Munson, oi Bethel. Ct; Mir and Mrs O. W. Niver, Mir Augustus Munson and daughter, Miss Hattie Munson, all of Canaan Mountain; Mrs Esther Dunning, Mr and Mrs s. 0. Beckley, and John G. Beckley. of Canaan. Miss Mary Wilms, who for about fifty years has been the faithful and devoted housekeeper and servant in the Munson family, wss also present and deserves much credit for the care and labor which jointly with others she devoted in preparing the feast and in serving the same.
 MT Munson was the recipient of 8 mum Der of pretty and useful presents but the genuine congratulations and good wishes which he received will be prized more than the gifts, and memory will treasure them as unfading tokens of this pleasant and memorable occa. sion.
 It should be meEtioned that the cen- ter of the large dining table was graced with an immense loaf of frosted cake bearing this inscription "K, J. M. ST. 1SO9-1S96."

A Powerful Factor.

Dr Talmage, speaking of the country newspapers, says: "A newspaper whose columns overflow with advertisements of business men has more influence in attracting attention to and building up a city or town, than any other agency that can be employed. People 90 where there is business. Capital and labor will locate where there is an enterpris. ing community. No power on earth is so strong to build up town as a news paper we'll patronized, and it's power should be appreciated"

WHEN the late Senator Hearst of Cali.
fornia, made his son, W. R. Hearst, a
present of the San Francisco Examiner.
he probably did not dream that he was
doing something that would ultimately
revolutionlze the journalism of New
York as we'll as that of the California
metropolis. But such has been the result
of directing the superb talents, energy
and enterprise of young Hearst into the
Journalistic field. Besides conducting the
Examiner in such way as to gain it wide
celebrity as easily the greatest newspaper
of the Pacific coast, Mr. Hearst has rescued
the New York journal from comparative
obscurity and in a few months gained it
recognition as the peerless newspaper of
the American metropolis. Money and
brains were never better employed than
in the production of this wonderful
newspaper, which makes no idle boast
when it affirms that it prints all the news
at half the cost Of any other paper claim
ing to print all the news.

SO IT seems the weary pugilist has no
where to rest his jaw. The Texas rang
ers have lined up on the east side of the
Rio Grande and Diaz has ordered 500
Mexican soldiers to bar the fighters out
of Mexico. 1t is significant that all this
should so soon happen after the Ell Paso
Preachers union had given away the snap
that New Mexico has no statute that
classes prize fighting crime. The Hon.
d. ?. Carr called attention to this fact at
the last legislative session, bat most of
the members we're too busy putting up
jobs on their betters to heed Corporal
Carr's appeal.
