A PERSONAL RECOLLECTION.
lBx Mrs. Mary H. Hunt.)


In 1885, during the first session of the
49th congress, while l was in Washing
ton in the interests of the national tenn
perance education law passed that year
nv that body, Congressman Gambler OF
Georgia. who was then chairman Of the
house committee on education, came to
the members gallery of the house
where, by special courtesy, had a seat
for a brief conference relative to bring
ing mn the temperance education bill.
Just at that juncture, Speaker Carlisle
;nvited Gov. Long of Massachusetts to
preside during his brief absence from
the chair Mr. Gambler, looking down
at the scene, commented on the fact that
a southern democrat had extended this
courtesy to northern republican add
ing: II like that; it looks like brethren
dwelling together in unity!
Gen. Wheeler of Alabama, who had
inst ioined our conference, assented,
adding: "Gov. Long is an exceptional
man. There are two men in this house
who can be trusted by both sides-Long
and Mckinley"
That was IL years ago. The public
record of these two men during the
years that have interviewed, has con-
firmed this testimony Of their associates
of an opposite political faith. 1t seems
a significant fact, indicative of the be-
neficent providence which has overruled
in the affairs of our nation since the
days of the Mayfower, that in this hour
tion has seen in thirty years, there
should be at its head these two men OF
whom the whole country can now join
in saying-in matters Of judgment as
we'll as Of integrity---"They can be trust

Mr.. Fayerweather was born in West
boro March IL, 1903, in the house now oc-
cupied by Moses Pollard. He enjoyed
more than ordinary advantages of his
day, having obtained a collegiate edu
cation in Brown University, and is now
the only surviving member of his class,
save one, Prof. Phelps of Andover.
When 25 years of age ne entered the
mercantile business by opening a store
in the house at the corner CT West Main
and School streets, now owned by Elijah
Burnap. A year after he started a store
and tin shop, which was afterwards re-
moved to the site on which post office
block now stands, known as the old
Parkman building, where he continued
the business until 1858, Later he en-
gagged in the wholesale grocery business
in Boston. Later still he engaged in the
fire insurance business in Westboro and
continued in it until about three years
ago, when he withdrew, Mr.. Fayer-
weather and others engaged in the milk
business for several years. In
1858 Mr.. Fayerweather concluded
to build nice business block
on the site of the old Park
man building which was destroyed by
fire in 1868, which is known as post office
block, and at that time the block was
regarded as one of the best and most
ty.
In 1S49 Mr.. Fayerweather was post
master at time when the receipts of
the office were but S400 or $500 a year.
He has always been a strong promoter
of the Village Improvement Society. He
is and has been for several years pres
ident of the Worcester Mutual Fire In
surance Company very successful in
stitution. He was several years direc-
tor of the Worcester County Agricultu-
raj Society, and one year its president.

ration until three years ago, when he
resigned because Of advancing years.

in 1867 and again in 1871 and represent
ed his town in the legislature in 1866.

The name of Charles A. Woisard,
democrat, who has served previously as
seleetmln, has been mentioned as a
candidate by the democrats as well as
ex-Postmaster John J. Love. The
names of Dr. Frederick A. Brown and
Joseph L. Brissette have been talked Of
as possible candidates.
The Spy man in an interview with
Mr. Love, concerning his attitude to-
wards the coming political strife, was
authorized to inform the citizens Of
Webster and vicinity through the
columns of the Spy, that he was not
aspiring for any candidacy or public
office. When the reporter informed
him that his name had been mentioned
by the democratic party, as possible
candidate for salectman, he said that he
would not allow his name to be used in
connection with any town office, but is
now willing to serve on the public Ii
brary committee. Mr.. Love said that
at the present he has not the time to
devote to town affairs If he should be
elected to any responsible town office.
AS it now stands, the only direct op-
position to Mr.. Clare's election is in the
person of eX-Selectman Charles A. VOL
sard. Mr. Woisard has served in that
capacity during the years of 1898, '94,
'95 SO and 81, and he has also served
as assessor in 1882, In his first election
he was nominated by both the demo-
cratic and republican parties, but at his
last term he was re-nominated ana
backed by the democrats solely.
Mr.. Wosard stated, when interviewed
by a reporter concerning mis- nomination,
as selectman: Yes, l have heard
something Of the sort, and have de-
cided to allow my name to be used as
a candidate for the office of selectman
in webster have had enough eX--
perienee in the business, having served
several years before, to be thorougnly
acquainted with all its ms and outs, but
I understand that Mr. Clare is going to
run again, and he is a man, like my
self. who has had lots of experience in
that capacity, and no doubt Will PROB
ably draw out a large vote
Next to the office of selectman, comes
the controversy. for water commissioner
as E. N. Bigelow of the board retires,
leaving a vacancy to be supplied, Mr.,
Bigelow has served on the board ilS TOR for
six years with credit, and has with his
long service received praise from the
citizens of the town.

CHAIR FACT DRY BURNED.
Whitney Brothers at South Ashburnham
Burned Out.

South Ashburnham, March 12.-About
two o'clock this morning, lively blaze
was discovered in the chair factory of
Whitney Brothers, successors to I. E.
Pratt & Co. The fire was quite well
under way when discovered, and made
such rapid progress that it was impossi-
BILE to save anything. The building was
a total loss. About thirty men are
thrown out of employment, as in all
probability it will not be rebuilt. There
was $1400 insurance personal and $1,000
real estate. 1t is thought that the fire
was of incendiary origin.

NINETY YEARS OLD.
John A. Eayerweather of West
boro III at His Home.
Has Occupied Many Town Offices and is
President of Worcester Mutual Fire
Insurance company-His Career

westboro, March 12.-Today John A.
Fayerweather reached the 9Oth mile
stone in life's journey. 1t had been the
desire of his host of friends in this
town that Mr.. Fayerweather's health
would admit of personal calls, and, in
deed, a reception in honor OF the un-
usual event had been planned. About
a week ago the aged citizen was taken
i'll and has been confined to his home
since, 50 that demonstrations OF all sorts
had to be abandoned.
When one who was born and has al
ways lived in Westboro, with the excep-
tion of five years in Boston, and has been
an active business man for nearly 80
years, reaches the nonagenarian period,
it is well to look back upon his career
and recall some Of its prominent feat
ures. From his boyhood UP Mr.. Fayer-
weather has had the good of his native
town at heart, and anything that tend
ed to increase its attractlveness has al
ways met with his hearty good will.

WEBSTER POLITICS.
Various Aspirants for Office at
the Spring Election.
Charles A. Wcisard for seIectman and

sioner Prominently Mentioned.

Webster March 12.-The political sit
uatlon is being discussed in Webster
with more or less vehemence, and mat
ters pertaining to the interest of the
town are receiving a fair share of at
tention. The liquor question has been
before the public at different times, both
in the matter Of hearing before the
selectmen and the district court, which
has caused the antagonism of the
friends of license to show a desire to de-
feat the officer that "dares to do right.
The temperance element has applaud
ed, and the license. question will enter
the campaign as one of the leading is
sues. Only once since the license law
was instituted has Webster ever pro-
claimed itself a no-license town. That
was IN 1884, when the vote stood for
license, 244 and 42O in opposition to
1t. The local option law was first
Drought before the voters of Webster
In 1877, At that time the vote was:
yeas, t342; nays, 126. Since that the IL
cense faction has been steadily gaining,
until at the present time they always
win and record IN increase each sue
ceeding year. The vote last year was
4S0 in favor of license, with an opposi-
tion of 265.
This year the time of many
officers of prominence expires.
Among the retiring officials is
Selectman Maurice P. Clare, republican,
and one who has officiated in the capa-
city most ably. Mr. Glare has been
asked by both the republican and de-
mocratic factions to run as a candidate
for the Office for another three years
term.

UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
GhastIy Find in a Water Street Boarding
House at Clinton.

Clinton, Mass, March 12.-An un-
known woman about SO years of age,
who engaged room at house on Wa
ter street, last Tuesday, was found dead
lying upon her bed, fully dressed, today.
She left a note which read: my name
Is H. L. M. Tucker; have no friends"

tanning extracts from lectures on spirit

upon spiritualism The medical exam
iner found nothing to indicate the cause
of her death.

The past year has been an exceptional
one in the line of fires, and the loss
from that cause ranks the lowest of any

AT the last town meeting the vote to
elect twelve constables for the ensuing
year was rescinded, but the present year
was provided for by the old law adopted
years ago, to provide twelve con-
stables to quell disturbances of any sort
In the town. The resembling of the con-
stable vote did not apply to last years
election, but it does to this year. Sheriff
Clare states that his opinion is that 70
constables are too many, and that six
would be sufficient.
A great many townsmen agitate the
advisability of having a regular uni
formed police force. doing service on the
streets and the surrounding villages day
and night. They say two during the day
and four at night would prove ade-
quate for the wants of the town. But a
few citizens side in with Sheriff Clare
who thinks that two additional men on
service during the night would be sufff-
cent. MI Glare says that the time is not
just right at the present for uniformed
police, and the adding of so many extra
men to the force would entail too large
expense for the town.
The republican caucus will be held
