Steam Pump for the Fire Department
has Arrived.

The steam pump which is to furnish
power for the Putney fire department has
arrived and is being put in place in the
paper mill of W. A. Cole. 1t was made
by the Deane Steam Pump company of
Boston and has two cylinders. 1t will be
located al the base of the big brick chin
ney. Its weight is about 5000 pounds and
its capacity is $50 gallons minute. Mr..
Cole contributed $3.50, the town will give
500 and private subscriptions have
raised the amount which is to be expended
upon the pump and the pipe lines which
will radiate from it to from $1,000 to Sl4OO.
After the pump has been set and connected
with steam and water a large part of the
funds will have been consumed so that the
pipe lines will not extend for very great
distance, but good beginning will have
been made and good foundation will have
been laid for permanent and effective fire
department 1t will probably be several
weeks before the laying of the pipes and
locating of hydrants will be completed.

Death OF Mrs. Mary II. Ware.

life of singular purity and devotion
came to its close Monday morning in the
death of Mrs. Mary II. Ware, widow of
Dea. Joseph b. Ware and mother of Hon.
j. ii. Ware, at the advanced age of 70
years.
The deceased was a native of West Brat
tleboro, coming to this place as a teacher
at the age of Is, her maiden name being
Plummer. Converted at an early age she
confessed her Saviour by uniting with the
Congregational church in her native place.
her relation being transferred to the Con-
gregational church in Townshend in 1899.
Her married life extended over a period of
some 81 years, and was passed mainly in
the home where she died.
Orphaned at birth, and so robbed of a
mothers love and care, she had her share
of trial, husband and three children
passing on before her. But tribulation in
her case issued in the graces of the spirit.
A hope big with immortality cheered her
to the end of the journey. Failing in
body for months she faced calmly her ap-
preaching change, assured that the dear
Lord was able to keep that which she had
committed unto him. Her assurance.
while strong was not based upon any feel
ing of merit, but upon the sufficiency and
abiding faithfulness of her Saviour.
Her faith was of that sort that makes
faithful She caught the spirit of the
blessed Master whom she served. and it
appeared in her home life, in her devotion
to her loved ones, in her church relations.
where she was ever earnest and loyal; and
in the community by her exhibitions of
hospitality and neighborlness. Indeed,
like the good Samaritan, her charity was
not limited to place or race, but went out
to all the needy. Surely all who knew her
will feel that they have lost friend, while
many who never saw her face or heard her
name have suffered unconsciously in the
cutting off of the streams of benevolence
that flowed from her life. A son and wife,
by whom she had been tenderly cherished.
four grandchildren, three brothers and
many other relatives remain to mourn her
departure, and to them the sympathy of
the community goes out
blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth. Yea saith the
spirit, that they may rest from Their labors,
and their works do follow them"

The Empress of Austria's Jewels.
From the Lady's Realm.

AT Cap Martin you may find the Empress
OF Austria. who casts off all the cares Of
royalty and INDUCES her taste for simple
living and fresh air. She walks for miles
every day in the most sensible serviceable
costumes, and any one who met her In
her walks abroad, quite unattended, and
so simply clad, would scarcely realize thar
she was a great Empress, and had at hei
disposal some of the most beautiful jewels
which ever were seen. The Austrian cor
lection is the finest collection of jewels in
Europe-in fact, the only one since the
crown Jewels of France were broken up
and bought by the modern millionaires
The bejeweled arms are quite magnificent,
and among the most noticeable of them Is
the lance OF st. Maurice, blazing with pre-
cious stones, and containing in the handle
the most authentic relic-a nail from the
true cross: while the regalia of Charlie
magne taken from his tomb at Aix-la-
ChaDelle, is another valuable item. But
the Empress own Jewels are almost equal
w magnificent. She possesses the larges,
emerald in the world, weighing 1900 car
ats; but. Of course, this is uncut An.
other. nearly as large, Is followed out as
a bonbonniere; and one of her prettiesr
ornaments is a watch composed of one
dark emerald hanging on to a chain OF
emeralds and diamonds (the first jeweled
chain which was ever made); and this was
q gift from the late Shah Of Persia when
he visited Europe some years ago.
