OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Miss Mellish Left Holyoke Last
Thursday and Cannot Be Found.
The Belief Is That She Committed
suicide by Drowning in the
Connecticut River.

Springfield. Mass, Nov. 22.-Miss Bertha
College, South Hadley, has been missing
since last Thursday, and there is not the
slightest clew to her whereabouts. Men
with dogs have secured the surrounding
country, and State detective Munyan is
devoting his time to the case.
1t is the general belief that the girl has
committed suicide by drowning in the
Connecticut River although there was no
apparent motive for such Il deed.
The college authorities will offer
reward TO-DAY for information leading 10
her discovery, aud he salectrncn OF South
Hadley viii also offer a reward.
The last seen of Miss Mellish was at 3
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. when the little
daughter Of Seiectnau MilrOn II. Judd sa W
her on her way to the postoffice at South
HadIey Center. She was dressed in black,
with a black cloak aud Tam O'Shanter hat.
The missing girl is the daughter of the
Rev. Mr.. Melsh of Killingly, Conn. She is
twenty years old, attractive, but not pretty,
and generalfavorite with her classmates.
She Is taking the classical Course. and was
counted a bTil ht and eager student.
Miss Melish was the las t girl in the col
lege that l would expect to lose sight OF, '"
says College President Mead. ''She al
ways appeared tn be happy and contented,
though she ha d sad face, and was eXcep
tfonaIly ietlcent. Her reserved DISPOSE
ton was noticeable by other students, but
she got along with everyone nicely, and
nothing but good is spoken of her. We dis
like to believe an ything serious has befallen
the Sirl.''
Thursday is a holiday at Mount Holyoke
College, and the girls We're free to 90
where they pleased. 1t was not until sup
per time that Miss Mellish was missed.
Then one of the giIls was sent to her room.
on her door was pinned a card bearing the
Word, Engaged" Her pocketbook and
gold watch We're found in her bureau
drawer, Indicating that when she went
away it WAS Ter intention to return soon.
Miss Mellish's father went to Boston yes
terday in response to a telegram stating
| that a girl answering her description had

| was not Miss Mellish.
The water in the Pond back of the Col

Two Nights Later Farmer Denmark
Was Shot Down at Table.

Was Shot Down at Table.
Ehnira, Y, Nov. o.. Searching parties
are still securing the country aro md
Van Ettan, twenty-five miles north of
here, but ur to midnight they had not
found the murderer of John Denmark.
the farmer, who resided two miles from
the village.
Denmark was the father OF five sons
and ont daughter. AT Z O'Clock Satur-
day evening lie was seated at a table in
his home. His fifteen year-old son was
seated near him, the other members of the
family being away on a visit.
The boy IS W the rnuzzle of shotgun
suddenly raised at window. and the next
moment shot was fired. The contents
of the gun eNtinguished the light, and
the boy, badly frightened, rushed from the
house and notified neighbors.
When they returned they found Denmark
sitting in the chair unconscious. He lied
without Iegaining Consciousness.
There is at the present time no known
motive for the crime. Denmark's watch
and about S4 in money Were found in his
pocket, showing that robbery was not in
tended. Tie had not known enemy and
was a man respected in the community.
On Thursday night last Farmer Denmark
awoke with a start and told his wife he
had dreamed he was murdered and that
his 10y Genie" was in the house at the
time. He called for his other son, Jay
but he did not reply. A curious fact in
connection with this is that Eugene was
with his father at the time Of the crime,
while jay was visiting in Candor.

COOPERATION IN AMERICA.

The Subject Discussed by Prof. Col =

The Secular League of Washington held
its regular Sunday Session at Maccahee

Coleman told the story of Jacob and ms
pottage. His portrayal of the character
o: Jacob was of great interest To the
audience, and Re threw some lights On
the patriarch which seemed to show hifn
up in not an altogether favorable way.
In the absence of Capt. John McElroy

lecture on Prospective Cooperation in
America lie discussed Certain causes.
such as improvement ill machinery, d3H.t
nancy OF trusts and foreign imIaicraticn,
as tending to the displacement Of labor
in this country, and presented Il method
for relieving the situation. The plan pro-
posed was an extension of the free intelii-
gence office system, already established
il Ohio, New York and several other states.
This plan empowers the authorities III
each town to employ laborers on public
works up to the limit of sanitary iur
,rovements, and also to secure private
employment. Another feature of the plan
pertains to the distribution of la borers.
Wherever town shall have an excess
or deficiency of laborers, it shall report
the facts to the county, that distribn-
ton may be made. Similarly, the county
shall report to the State and the State
to the Lational government. 1t Was
clairaed that, by legislating directly In
the interest of labor, the evils incidcii.
to the displacement Of labor may ID
avoided.
The parcr Was discussed by Messrs.
