Alonzo BENJAMIN Bird.

In the death of Mr.. Bird one of the old
and well-known residents of our town has
passed away, leaving fragrant memories
behind.
His death occurred on June 7th in his
pleasant home where he live nearly 40
years. He had been in falling health for
several months. His last sickness was
only about two weeks. He had reached
the remarkable age of eighty years. HIS
was a well-rounded life-a life full Of
kindly acts, cheering words and a devo-
ton to the loved ones OF his household.
He never forgot to minister to those in
the home where be was born. When bur-
1ened with age be took his father and
mother into his own family and cared for
them as kindly and lovingly as they did
him in the days of his childhood.
OF all bis fathers family only one re-
mains-his twin brother, BuZzeli-who
lives near Stockbridge Common and was
present at his funeral.
He had strong social nature which
found its satisfaction in home and his
loved ones there. His first wife was Sarah
Bugbee, who was the mother OF his eight
children. She was born June %, 1S,there
being only six weeks difference in their
ages. Their married life extended over
period OF 80 years, lacking one month. 1t
was a long, pleasant and happy welded
life. Their tasks, thoughts and aspira.
tons are one. In their home they saw
the mystery OF life and the mystery OF
death-childTen were given them and
children were taken away. They met the
changes that came to them patiently,
trustiDgly, feeling that a higher power
was over them who would do all things
well.
On January 6, 1851, the parting came. In
the death of his wife great shadow rest
ed on his home. The strong man was
bowed with the burden of sorrow. Her
children asked "Who is like mother in
all the earth" In her tongue was the
law OF kindness. She looked well to the
ways of her household. Her children and
grandchildren rose up and called her
blessed. The remembrance OF her good
ness Is as healing balm. They were the
parents of eight children. Three, Loren
20, Addie and Walter, have passed away.
Calista Blanchard and her husband OF
Rutland, Lewis Bird and his wife OF
Bethel, Ellen Frink and her husband of
Bethel, Loretta Wright Of Rutland, Julia
Cutler and husband of Bethel-his five
children liviDg-and several grandchil-
dren were present at his funeral: also his
twin brother, Buzzell.
He was q thoughtful and kind father.
wisely cared for his children, giving them
the best opportunity to make them useful |
and respected citizens. When we think /
what he did for them, what great sacri- |
ices he made, it IS not strange that their 4
hearts were filed with sorrow when they 4

should see him there no more. He was
also very dear to all his grandchildren and
they were very dear to him. When they
visited him he knew how to touch achild's
heart for he had the child's spirit within
him. His nature was clear, sincere and
gujleless. His children never heard him
use profane word. He taught them
moral precepts by embodying them in
his life. He knew that II be desired his
children to go in the right way he must
go that way himself. Sothis father was a
light to their path and his memory is
sweet.
He had broad and liberal views Of life
that is to come. He believed that God
would succeed in his government and that
all souls will finally be purged from evil
and sin and their free will shall be in
harmony with the Divine will. This faith
gave him strength and peace 10 LIES long
and varied journey.
After the death of bis wife his home
was lonely. He desired companionship
as the evening shadows began to gather
around him. About four years ago he
married Mrs. Hattie Flint who survives
him.
The funeral service which was conduct
ed by Rev. 8. A. Parker in his old home,
was largely attended by relatives, neigh
bors and friends. He was buried beside
his first wife In the family lot in the Lynn
pus cemetery. A sheaf OF ripened grain
Is striking symbol OF his completed life.
I" Meekly he gave his being up, and went
To share the holy rest that waits a life
we'll spent"

Two More Towns Surrender Gladly-Ono

patch boat Mindora to st. Thomas, ID.
W. l., Tuesday.-Captain Goodrich
commander of the st. Louis, to-day
seized Arroyo and Gunyama and hoist
ed the Stars and Stripes over both
places. By this stroke General Miles
will be able to land troops ut the
southeastern corner of the island, and
cut Off forty miles of the march upon
San Juan.
No opposition was offered to the
Americans when the st. Louis, the
Wasp and the Gloucester entered
landed small detachment Of men
from his vessel. leading them In per-
son into the little village of Arroyo.
Finding themselves in undisputed
possession, the American army then
pressed forward to Guayama, five
miles distant, where they were able to
establish themselves without resist
ancc. There is n dirt road from Ar
royo to Cayey, where It connects with
the military rond extending from
Ponce to San Juan.
The Wasp and Gloucester left Port
of Ponce early this morning to meet
the st. Louis. They entered Guayama
Bay ahead Of the auxiliary cruiser, to
recOnnoiter. Encountcring no Opposl-
tion, Captain Goodrich took II party Of
men ashore. They seized the town Of
Arroyo without resistance and raised
the American flag. They then went
Guayama, which is five miles west OF
Arroyo and thirty miles east Of Ponce.
Guayama, 1t was learned had been
abandoned on Friday night by Span
ish garrison OF 800 men, who went to
Cayey. Arroyo and Gunyama, with
the harbors. will be used by the Amer
leans as Il base of supplies. The two
divisions Of the troops then can effect
juncture at Cayey, and advance to-
gether on the military road to San

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-The steamer
DOric from Hong Kong to-day brings
the following letter from the cor
respondent of the Associated Press At
Manila, under date of July LIST:
Another link was added to the
chain of territory which connects the
United States with their newly ac-
quired foreign possessions in the Pa
citic ocean on June 2lst, for upon that
date Captain Glass of the United
States steamer Charleston, captured
the Ladrone islands, took the governor
general. his staff. and the entire mill
tary force prisoners, and raised the
Stars and Stripes over the ruins Of the
Spanish fort of Santa Cruz in the har
Dor of San Luis d'Apra. 1t was
bloodless victory, for the Spanish, not
having hear of the war between their
country and the United States, were
taken completely by surprise and sur
rendered the islands, their arms and
themselves without offering the slight
est resistance.
"From strategic point of view,
1t was very important one, for
the harbor of San Luis d'Aprn, on the
west coast of the main island, Guam,
is an ideal coaling station, and while
the whole group will undoubtedly
prove to be of incalculable value to
the United States, 1t cOmmends itself
as the most valuable of all the newly
acquired possessions on account Of its
situation. 1t lies 5000 miles west by
south of Honolulu, 1850 miles south
east of Yokohama, and 1900 miles east
of Luzon, the principal island of the
Philippine group, thus being the con-
Meeting link between the United States
and the Orient.
Its Inhabitants, who number 10000,
are hospitable, peaceful, law-abiding
people, only too anxious to throw off
the Spanish yoke, yet perfectly willing
to shoulder another less CALLING one.
OF the islands themselves volumes
might be written, and the half not
told. Suffice it to say that they are Of
volcanic origin, but prolific, compara-
lively healthy. and only await capital
to develop their innumerable resources.

PRINCE BISMARk DEAD.
Ills Passing Away Duo to Old Age-Tho
End Not Expected.

Berlin, July 3O.-Prince Bismarck
died a little before IL o'clock tonight.
The end was peaceful.
The details of the death of Prince
Bismarck are obtained with difficulty
because of the lateness Of the hour,
the isolation of the castle and the
strenuous endeavors of the attendants
of the family to prevent publicity be.
ing given to what they consider private
details.
The death of the ex-chancellor comes
as Il surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials, there was an un-
dercurrent of apprehension when the
sinking of the prince was first an
nounced, inspired more by what the
family left unpublished than by any
information given. But when the daily
bulletins chronicled Improvements in
the princes condition, detailed his ex-
tensive bills of fare and his devotion
to his pipe, the public accepted DR..
Schweninger's assertion that there was
no reason why Bismarck should not
reach the age of 80.
1t appears that the eX-chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul-
mination of chronic disease, neuralgia
of the face and Inflammation of the
veins, which kept him in constant
pain, and which was born with the
iron fortitude which might have been
expected.
