MISSION SUBJECTS DISCUSSED.
Regular Meeting of Woman's Board OF
Missions.

MISSIONS,
The regular monthly meeting of the
Womans Board of Missions was held
yesterday afternoon in Center church
chapel. The meeting was an exceed
ingly interesting one and was addressed
by DIR. Mary A. Holbrook and Mrs
George e. Todd Dr. Mary A. Hol-
brook was formerly connected with the
medical dispensary at Tung Che, China,
and later with the Kobe college for
girls in Japan. She gave very clear
statement of the work in Japan. The
development of the national spirit there
has interfered greatly with the mis-
sion. but it has Also on the other hand,
brought out the weakness of the peo-
pie and wrought a deeper spirit of
Christianity among them than the
rather shallow form at first adopted
when Christianity was confused with
Buddhism
She also related many encourag ing
features of the mission work
Mrs. George e. Ladd, the wife of
the assistant pastor of Center church, is
daughter of DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, the
missionary, and has spent many years
in mission fields. She spoke yesterday
of the work in Armenia and said that
the recent atrocities had healed the
differences among the Christians of the
country.
The missionaries had stood faithfully
at their posts through all the troubles
and helped the natives in every posi-
Bile way.
This steady and heroic devotion of the
missionaries has been exhibited not
alone in Armenia, but also in all the
mission fields

OBITUIRY.

The Late william Edward Peck-A Feeling
Tribute to His Memory--Was u College
Classmate of Rev. DIR. Douglas of This
City.
The late William Edward Peck, Nj.
A., headmaster Of the Pomfret school
for boys, who died at his home Sunday
morning after a short illness, was a
son of the Rev, William l.. Peck, late
~ of Groton, but now of California,
ana was graduated at Trinity college
in 1871, among his classmates being
rev. Or. George William Curtis, of
trinity church, New Haven; the Rev.
James Stoddard. late principal of the
episcopal academy at Cheshire; Charles
. Everest, now engaged in teaching in
New Milford, and the Rev. Dr. Lucius
waterman, at one time professor in
Seabury theological school, Minnesota.
soon after graduation Mr.. Peck be-
came a master in ST. Marks school,
Southboro, Mass, and after faithful
service, when vacancy occurred in the
misunderstanding he became head of the
school and conducted it with much
ne resigned at Southboro, opened a new
school at Pomfret, which has been in
every way successful. Two or three
serious cases of illness among the boys
had kept Mr.. Peck from giving due
care to his own health, and few days
ago he was Frustrated with fatal at
tack of pneumonia. He will be greatly
missed by his friends. A brother, the
Rev Theodore Mount Peck, who grad
uated at Trinity college in 1880, is a
general missionary in eastern Connec-
t1cut, residing in Putnam.
Last evenings New York Post has
the following concerning the deceased
in an appreciative obituary article from
one who knew him we'll: Hundreds
of graduates of Pomfret school feel
personal loss in his death. For eley-
en- years as headmaster of st. Mark s
school, Southboro he filled that re-
sponsible place with great credit to
himself and great advantage to the
school. The unique and almost pater-
nal position which the headmaster held
in the old st. Marks dear to so many
of it's graduates, had to be modified to
meet the necessities OF the new SCHOOL
which will ever stand as monument
to it's founder, the late Joseph Barnett
and to him who so steadily and nobly
fulfilled the duties of it's first head
master. E..- .-
His sudden death from pneumonia
on Sunday last leaves sad vacancy
in the list of the really great head
masters of the American schools He
was singularly we'll furnished intellec-
tually, a fine classic scholar, a gooo
modern linguist, an excellent historian
and well up in the belle lettres of Eng
land, Germany and France. He was
an actively athletic man, able to judge
and assist his boys in the field. Ane
to his accomplishments he added great
| firnness, absolute truthfulness, and ar
open straightforwardness towards his
pupils which made them trust him alb
solutely. He was an earnest, active
churchman, showing his faith in every
act of his life

NORTH HAVEN,
A Grave Officers Sword Accidentally Re-
covered After More Than Thirty Years
A Remarkable Incident-Other Notes.

A Grave Officer's Sword Accidentally Re-
covered After More Than Thirty Years
A Remarkable Incident-Other Notes.
We read, sing and recite "The Sword
Of Bunker Hill' and it stirs our patri
otto feelings to their uttermost depths.
Since then there has been great war
full of heroic deeds and self sacrifice.
Many a sword in this latter war de-
serves to be made the means of stirring
the memories of those gigantic battles,
compared to which Bunker Hill was
relatively small. Let me tell the
tale of one of those swords In the
wear 1864 Charles w. Osborn of Com
pany B, Ninety-fifth regiment, United
States Volunteers, who was brother
of Mrs. Stephen Fl. Bower of North
Haven, was promoted from the ranks
to be a second lieutenant. He was on
furlough at the time. His friend at
Strong Point, N. Y, presented him with
a fine dress sword, suitably inscribed.
He soon after joined his regiment. A
few days later the great campaign be-
gan in the wilderness, which eleven
months later ended the war at Appom-
dlCOX. Lieutenant oSDOIu was III tAS
thick of that first days fight and was
seen to fall and that is the last known
of his fate for thirty-two years, and
now his family have the prospect of re-
ceiving, in a few days, the sword of
the fallen hero. A son of Mr.. S. Rees-
ton Carpenter of Salem, N. J., has just
returned from a hunting trip in Vir-
ginia. He stopped with Mr.. Moore of
Jannett, about thirty-five miles south
of Petersburg, Va. Mr.. Moore bought
the place, the owner of which, now
dead, had this sword, on which was
engraved Charles w. Osborn, Co. B.,
95th N. Y. S. Vols" and left it with
Mr.. Moore The above is all that can
be learned of the fate of a beloved
brother and patriotic soldier Lieu
tenant Osborn fell near the place where
General Wadsworth was killed. That
night the Army Of the Potomac COM
menced the flank march and that part
of the field was in the possession of
the Confederates. The next day forest
fires swept over it and the only me-
mento of a loved brother will be his
sword, recovered in such a providential
manner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Stiles and Mrs.
Dickerman expect to sail for Europe on
the 18th. Their many friends wish
them a pleasant voyage and safe re-
turn.

COUNTING OF In. .I.
In Recent Elections There Has Deeu Lit
Ito FrEud In New York

In Recent Elections There Has Deeu Lit
tIo FrSud In New York.
The counting of votes has been in
the past more fruitful of trickery and
Justification than any other part Of
the election process. In 1893 the car
vassers in certain districts reduced the
matter to its lowest terms by simply
reporting a unanimous vote on their
side, and then going out to fling up their
hats for the rest OF the night. In the
subsequent election competent and ir-
corTuptible men supervised the canvass
SO strictly that the percentage of fraud
was so small, if any existed, as never to
be heard of. This watching, says
writer in Century, at the count not only
prevented intentional lying, but savel
accidental mistakes. In one case the
board OF inspectors confessed they did
not know how to count the votes, and
submitted entirely to the guidance of
o well-informed watcher. a-
The counting is done in public, and
is often an interesting sight. Every or
ganization and each candidate NAV
Hend a representative to observe il,
though nobody but the inspectors is
permitted to touch the ballots. The
straight tickets are first counted in tens
by four men in succession, and tally
is kept by at least two assistants. Each
name Is credited with as many votes
as there are tickets for his side. Then
one inspector reads off of those tickets
which arc "split,' or have pastors at
tached, or upon which names have been
erased or new names written, and each
candidate is credited with vote every
time his name appears. When this is
finished the most prominent Office is
taken up, and the sum of the votes for
each candidate Ia ascertained.
