More Regarding William Henry.

M. G. Winchester, superintendent of the
Good Templars' home tor orphans at Val
lejo, CAL, writes the Brattleboro Phoenix
as follows:
Mr.. EDITOR In the Phoenix OF Febru-
airy 4, there is an article copied from the
Bellows Falls TIMES OF January 20 in sup
port of the candidacy of Lavant NJ. Read
for congress, in which this passage occurs
There is legend to the effect that one
William Henry of Rockingham was in 1916
CHI sen representative in congress, but
the truth Of this we have been unable to
verify"
1t may not be important, but from per-
sonal knowledge | am enabled to change
what the TINES thinks a legend to an his
torical TACT The writer of the TIMES,
however, is wrong in the date. 1t was not
in 1916 but in 1917. This comes from the
fact that there was not at that time con,
gressional law for the election of congress-
men. Each state had then its own law
and The election in Vermont occurred in
September and those elected took their
seats in the December following, and not
more than year after election as now.
The Wing convention Of Windham county
for 1S47 was held at the court house at
Newiane in June. | had become voter
the fall before and attended my first politi-
cal convention from the town Of Marlboro.
Among other business of the convention
was the selection of some one to be pre-
sented to the Wing congressional conven-
ton that would have the unanimous support
OF the county, and possibly Of Windsor
county, as the congressional district was
then composed of Windham. Windsor and
Bennington counties, being divided by the
mountains, making geographical jea!ousies
lin the selection OF men. The district +, r
years had been ably represented by tn
Hon. Hiland Hall of Bennington who had
decided to retire. The argument before
the convention was that of right the cand-
date should come from the east side of the
mountain, and by presenting the name Oh
one man from the east side he could be
nominated but if all the candidates went
before the congressional convention they
would be divided and beaten by the west
side.
When the convention was ready to ballot
for a choice there were three candidates
Calvin Townships merchant of long stand
ing of Brattleboro, DR.. w. R. Ranney, ex-
Lieut.. Gov. of Townshend, and William
Henry OF Rockingham, cashier in bank
The first ballot there was no choice, Ranney
and Townsley leading with Henry behind.
At each successive ballot Ranney and
Townsley lost votes and Henry gained till,
having finally received majority Of votes
he was declared the choice of Windham
county and was eventually nominated and
was elected at the September election in
1917. As l lett the state soon after dc
not know if he was elected more than one
term.

An Old Lady Travelling Alone.

A blind woman, IS years Of age and CIV
ing her name as Mrs. Mary Coffman, was
brought over the Rutland road to this sta
ton Saturday. -
She had started from Helena, Montana,
IS days before and while on her Journey
suffered shock of paralysis, which ren-
dered her blind and impaired her memoir.
She came East to find her only RELATIVE,
widowed sister, Mrs. Mary Wagone',
whose address she could not remember bit
who, she thought, lived so miles from Rut-
land.
As no person by the name of Wagoner
was known at the station, she decided that
it was 80 miles from Burlington instead Of
Rutland that her sister lived and insisted
upon going on to that city.
She was a German woman and claimed
to be Methodist and seemed to be well
informed. Her husband, she said, had
died 80 years ago, and she had lost both
of her daughters, one of whom had been
the wife of the late Rev. William c. Cook
a Methodist evangelist in Philadelphia.
On account of her connection with tbs
church, the railroad officials had orders tc
put her in charge Of the Methodist pastor
here, and she was accordingly brought tt
the notice OF Rev. Mr.. Lewis, who hap
pened to be at the station and was on thu
point Of leaving town. As he could ote
no solution OF the mystery of her sister
whereabouts and as she was determined tt
proceed at once to Burlington, it wa
thought best to humor her.
Arrived in that city she refused to 60 tt
hotel though she had plenty Of money
and was taken instead to the Home fo
Friendless Women.
Later it was learned by Sheriff Reeve
that German woman named Wagone
was living in Jericho, and was undoubtedl,
Mrs. Coffman's sister.

sorrow throughout the civilized world
She was probably the most widely known
and best beloved woman in America. Born
of sturdy New England ancestry, she had
such advantages as pioneer life afforded for
education and instruction. Her rare exec
utive ability in after years made her pract-
cal dictator of the great organization OF
which she was the head. She led by the
omnipotency Of kindness. She was born
organizer. As Whittier has said, "She
knew the power of banded i'll, but felt that
love was stronger still and organized for
doing good the worlds united womanhood."
Twenty-four years ago she resigned the
position of dean of the Evanston, Ill i,
woman's college, to take up the work OF re-
form. Soon after she became president OF
the woman's temperance society of Chica-
go, working without pay.
The national w. c. T. U. was organized
at Cleveland, o., in 1878, being the direct
outgrowth of the woman's crusade which
swept over the state about that period.
With the w. c. L. U. came Frances Will
lard, who consecrated her life to its work.
What has this w. G. T. U. done 1t
has made intemperance unpopular and
branded it with stigma and an odium
which it did not always have. The time
was when everybody drank liquor and
nothing was thought Of it. Now things
have changed and Miss Willard lived to
isee the drunkari ostracized and feelings of
popular indignation stirred against the man
who fingers long at bis cup.
The w. G. L. U. has effected sys-
tematic instruction in the public schools as
regardsIthe effect of alcohol and nicotine up.
on the human system, and it sends annually
from the Woman's Temple in Chicago mil
lions of books, tracts, papers, ETC., broad
cast over the world, enlightening the people
as to the enormity Of the liquor traffic anc
the devastation it works. 1t has promoted
Christian unity by enlisting people withou
regard to denomination, in the cause o
Temperance.
| The world is better for this organization
having come into existence and for he,
who was its head, having lived here for 81
years.

Death of Miss Eta Smith.

Miss Eta Smith, living with her sister,
Mrs. John Putnam, on the Old Terrace,
died shortly after one o'clock Sunday from
what seemed to be heart failure.
The deceased had been under the physi-
clans care for about week, but had
almost entirely recovered. She was feel
ing so much improved on Sunday morning
that Mrs. Putnam went to church, leaving
her sister Carrie in charge OF the house.
The two girls talked until noon, when Miss
Eta sent her sister downstairs to hasten
the dinner. While she was absent from
the room, Eta rose from her couch anC
attempted to 60 to the window to see bel
niece, who was in the yard. Mr.. Putnam
was attracted from the adjoining room b,
the sound OF her falling upon the floor ant
on entering the room found her lying neal
her couch in semi-unconscious condition
The physician was sent for, but could rem
der no aid, and she passed away shortl.
afterward.
The deceased was 16 years old and al
esteemed member of the sophomore elias
Of the high school. She leaves father

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES =

10 The EDlIOR Or IHE LINES -
Last fall an attempt was made to unite a
part of the town school district to the CEN
ter district for school purposes for one
term, that the experiment might be tried
of bringing in scholars favorably located.
The committee OF the center district Of
tered to convey the scholars of what was
formerly districts 3, 10 IL, and IA to the
center district and give them the superior
advantages of instruction there, provided
the school board of the town district would
pay to them such a sum OF money as it
would cost to convey and school the same
scholars in the town district.
A largely signed petition of the parents
interestt d In the town district was present
ed to the town school board but they re-
fused to act claiming that they had no au-
thority under the law to pay over any sum
of money to the school board OF the center
district. At the annual meeting of the
town district held March 8, motion was
made to authorize the school board to send
TO the center district such scholars as they
in their Judgment thought best and to pay
to the center district such sum OF money
as they in their Judgment thought just. -
Daring the discussion which followed
Mr.. Wellington OF the school board made
the statement that when the matter was
under consideration last fall the school
board took counsel on the matter and were
told that they had no legal right to pay to
the school b ard of the center district any
sum Of money and that the district could
not by vote give them such authority.
Doubling the correctness of their coun-
sci | wrote to Fred Gowing, state superin-
tendent OF public instru ton. reciting the
facts and asking for the law in the case and
received the following:
