Death of c. A. PiIlsbury.

Charles A. Pillsbury, the well-known
miller, died at Minneapolis, Mimi, Sunday
afternoon at o'clock of heart trouble. On
account Of poor health, Mr.. Pillsbury went
to Europe December 1, 1898, and returned
the middle of June. While abroad he con.
suited with eminent physicians in London,
Paris. Vienna and Berlin and returned to
New York apparently much improved. The
physicians agreed that he was suffering
from heart trouble, caused by an enlarge
ment OF the stomach, which in turn was
due to overwork and insufficient physical
exercise.
Charles Alfred Pillsbury was born at
Warner, Merrimac county, N. H. October
3, 1912. He graduated from Dartmouth
college at 81, having partly supported him
self by teaching. For six years be engaged
in mercantile pursuits in Montreal, and
September IL, 1866, he married Miss Mary
S. Stinson OF Goffstown, N. H. After
going to Minneapolis in 1869, Mr. Pillsbury
bought an interest in small flour mill at
St. Anthony Falls. He applied himself to
learning the milling business, and within
the next few years made great improve
ments in milling By 1890, when bought
by an English syndicate, the Pfllsbury in
terests had grown to er ormous proportions.
A system of elevators was bought in con-
nection with the mills. His ''Pillsbury A"
mill, capacity 1000 barrels day, is said to
be the largest mill in the world. In 1890
Mr.. Pillsbury retired from the conduct of
his milling interests. He remained the
manager of the property for some time.
But his health failing he retired from the
active management about Is months ago.
He retained his dictatorship IN the com
pany. Mr.. Pilsbury held public office but
once, that of state senator for 10 years,
January 1, 1877.

In the cattle department, the exhibit of

Breeders Association of America will be
cattle show in itself; this will include
cattle which were exhibited at the Worlds

many prizes at both the New York and

Ye Old Meeting House.

The September Parish Visitor calls at
tention to the shsmeiul condition of the old
meeting house at Rockingham by the de-
fscement CT the walls and pews by using
the same for register for names of visit
ors, and suggests subscription be taken
to put the house in its original condition as
far as possible, and the Parish Visitor will
start the subscription with $40. 1t is GER
tainly commendable to attempt this work
and the public ought to be interested
enough to carry it out. For means to this
end we would suggest that the law be
brought into action and that those who
have done the defacing be made to pay the
penalty therefor, and the sum would be
sufficient to not only pay the expense out
have something left to pay someone for
caring for the building ;besides it might be
such a warning that defacements in the fu-
ture would not occur.

c. L. BARRIERS New Store.

The new store at the corner of Henry
extension and Atkinson streets is NEARING
completion. The building is roomy, four
story structure capable of holding much
larger and complete line of musical instru-
ments then was carried by Mr.. Barber in
his old store.
The building throughout is made very
hight by the immense large windows. 1t
is finished throughout in hard pine and
maple. An elevator capable of easily
carrying the heaviest pianos reaches the
top. The first two floors of the building
will be used for the display of full line of
musical instruments as well as sewing ma
chimes, bicycles, etc. An instructor of
music well have room on the third floor
and the top story will be used as repair

many friends wish for him a deserving in

TIMBER 19x21 inches in size and are placed
about IL ieet apart. The chords were
originally cut into these timbers, but some
years ago when the weight of loco
motives and cars began to be largely in
creased the floor OF the bridge was hung
from the wooden arches by iron truss rods,
very strong floor being substituted for
the old one. Today there remains a good
margin of safety in the arches and bridge
chords, but owing to the increasing size of
cars and engines the old structure is be-
coming too small.
The distance across the chasm crossed
by the bridge is not far from 400 feet.
Nearly In the centre there remains a natu-
raj rock abutment which will support the
arches OF the new stone structure as it has
the old 1t is about so feet from the track
to the bottom of the chasm, and the span
OF the present wood arches, which are
above the track, is something like $50 feet
each. The stone arches will be 1870 feet OF
more In diameter and over so feet high.
The new structure will be decidedly a
handsome one and in the times OF higl
water will form part OF a scene OF un.
usual grandeur, as the mighty waters o.
the Connecticut rush beneath it down the
rocky and precipitous falls which it will
span.
The contractor has already begun blast.
ing for the foundations of the stone arches
and has steam drills and derricks at WORK
and fitty-feet stairway leading down from
the old bridge into the chssm below Archie.
OF timber will be put up as soon as posi-.
BILE, on which the stone arches will be SUP.
ported until locked in place by the key
stones. 1t Is understood that the upper
side OF the old bridge will be first taken
away, the south track being supported on a
trestle work for use in the mean time. The
upper side of the stone arches will then be
completed and filed in to support a track
and the rest of the bridge then built. If
we have high water this fall the plans of
the builders are LIKELY to be very much
interfered with.

Vermont Academy Notes.

Vermont Academy opened Tuesday
September -, with a full enrolment of
students and teachers. Every available
place in Farnsworth hall and Proctor home
is taken ard there are several applicant.
who cannot be accommodated. Jones
hall is filled to about two thirds of its ca.
pacity. The students represent large
section of the country, one coming from
Dallas, Texas. Every New England state
sends large delegation and most Of the
middle states have representatives.
Miss Anna O. Cummings, who ba, held
the position as lady principal for six years,
was compelled to resign early in the sum-
mer owing to sickness in her family. Miss
Alice Hooper, the teacher of English, will
spend the year in Europe. Major Joseph
M. Wolfe and Mr.. Glen A. Grove return
to their work from Harvard Summer school
with renewed enthusiasm and increased eff
fciency. Miss Adelaide Smiley will con-
tinue her work in the Latin department
and Mr.. Clifford H. Coon IN the sciences.
New equipment has been added to the lat
ter department until now labro atory work is
possible in every science taught. In zool-
ogy, the student dissects about 20 types of
animal life, all Of the sea animals studied
being furnished by the Marine Biological
Laboratory at Woods Holl, Mass. A new
set of Photographed maps will add much
interest to the work in that subject, which
begins this year. In physics, chemistry
and astronomy the same efficient work will
be done this year as last. Miss Lucy
Daniels will have charge of the department
of history.
Miss Flora E. Pope, for some years at
the head of the music department OF the
school, who has the confidence and love of
all the former students who know her, as
sumes charge of Jones Hall and the girls
of the school. The academy is fortunate
in having person of decided executive
ability, who knows the school and its work
to take Miss Cummings place. Miss Mabel
Harlow of Fall River, Mass, teacher of
excellent training and experience, will con-
iuct the English department.
A pleasing innovation was instituted the
irst Sunday of the year. when the Sunday |
chool of the Academy, heretofore ,epa-
ate organization, united with the Baptist |
hurch in the village The Pastor, Mr..
'oughton, and the people of the church
we're very cordial in their invitation and
heir welcome, and with but few excep-
ions, every student of the academy wa,
resent. The attendance was over double
s usual number.
The average age Of the students will be
omewhat older this year than in previous
ears, owing to the fact that of the new
udents, great many have entered ad-
anced classes. Four have entered the
NOR class and q dozao or more seeond .

A FOrty-Niner.

Speaking of the old Cheshire railroad
bridge which is being torn down to make
room for new structure, the Keene Sem
tInel of Monday said:
The old wooden bridge is of peculiar
type. Roadmaster Hyland, whose expert
ence has extended over q period of 40
years or more, saws he has seen but three
or four bridges built like it. The bridge
is mainly supported by eight immense tim
Der arches to which are keyed perpendicu-
