Agnes Dudley Gale, 50, died at the home
OF Mrs. Mary A. Draper on Linden street
ABOUT = O'Clock Sunday morning of heart
disease superinduced by grip and nervous
prostration. She was born in ALBANY.
n. Y, May 20, 1S43, and was a daughter
OF Samuel and Leonora Gale. When she
was about two years old her father died
and her mother moved with her children
to Brattleboro and bought the house on
South Main street now occupied by w. H.
Welcome. At that time there were but
hve other houses on Prospect Hill. AL
though Miss Gale has since spent mich
OF her time away from Brattleboro her
home has always been at the South Main
street house. Her mother died there II
years ago and was taken to ALBANY for
burial.
since the death of her mother Miss Gale
mas divided her time between Brattleboro
and the home of her sister Carrie, who is
now Mrs. A. II. Mills of Fonda, N. Y.
mrs Mills lived in Brattleboro previous to
80 years ago Miss Gale was sister of

nau oeen a member of the Unitarian
cnurch OF brattleboro for many years and
she was closely identified with its work
and its interests. She took great pride in
her home town, and she often expressed
the wish that she might die in Brattleboro
ana that her funeral might be held in the
Unitarian church.
MISS Gale was an incessant reader and
she thereby acquired much valuable know.

Denman Thompson and all OF the Old

Denman Thompson and all of the Old
FavOrites VIII Appear In the Per-
fOrmanee Jan. III.
The following is from a recent issue of
the Boston Globe:
The popularity of "The Old Home
stead" which tomorrow evening will enter
upon the second and last week of its en-
gagement here, is nightly attested at the
Boston theatre. 1t is one of the marked
characteristics of the production of "The
Old Homestead" that Denman Thomson
year after year retains about all the old
favorites in the cast. Undoubtedly much
OF the popularity which the play has re-
ceived is due TO the merrment which Den.
man Thompson's impersonaton of Josiah
Whitcomb, Will y. Cressy's CIV Prime
Chas. Fl. Clark's Seth Perkins, John
Barker's Ebb Ganzy, Gus Kammerlee's
Henry Hopkins, Louisa Morse's Aunt Ma
tilda and Miss Annie Thompson's Ricketv
Ann invariably excite.
Here are distinct individual types of
rustic character so truly portrayed that the
audience realizes at once the complete All
sence of forced expedients. Each one
plays his part as If he were utterly uncon-
sclous OF anything in it In the least uncom-
mon or ludicrous. There is an abundance
OF pathos in 1.-THE Old Homestead but
numor follows ever closely in its wake, and
the rising tear is quickly dispelled by the
ripping smile or uproariOus laughter.

CALLED TO SOMERVILLE.
Rev. ii. ID. Maxwell Will Leave
BrattlebOrO March 1.

His Notification OF the Unanimous Call
by the Large and Prosperous society.
Brattleboro will lose another able and
beloved pastor, Rev. II. ID. Maxwell hav-
ing accepted a call TO the pastorate of the
rlrsJ OnlVersalist church of Somervile,
Mass Seventy-five members of the SOM
erVllle society attended the meeting Mon
day night, when a unanimous vote was
taken to give Mr.. Maxwell call. The
former pastor of the Somervlle society
was Rev. Levi NJ. Powers. now of the
Grace Universalist church, Buffalo, n. Y D..
Mr.. Powers will be remembered in Brattle-
ooro as the lecturer in the young peoples
course who spoke here several weeks ago
on with Our Army in Cuba"
The formal notification of the call was
received by Mr.. Maxwell Tuesday night.
1t is as follows:
SoMERvILLE, MASS, Jan. 10, 1899.
Dear Mr.. UdrCeH.-Iti is my peasurable duty
70 write you letter both of notification and con.
na, latlon-notfcation of a call extended n
you oy the First UnlveI salst parish Of Somer-
vllle, and congratulaton upon receiving a unanl.
nous call on the first formal ballot in meeting
that lasted less than an hour. 1t was without
uot the shortest, most enthusiastic and united
meeting that has ever been held in the history Of
our our society for the purpose Of settling pastor
incluentally let me say that IL has been the Gus
" ,iin SotltNy 70 suspend CnurCn activities
during the months OF July and August Should
you accept we desire OF course to have you with
US as soon as possible and we trust that the last
oi FEBRUARY VIII fine you with a people aRgres-
Eve IN church work In the past and ambitious
Ior the future. Awaiting your pleasure l re-
n'Sin' Yours, very truly,
Clerk Of the First Universalist society.
Mr.. Maxwell at once wrote short let
ter, accepting the call. He expects to be-
gin his labors in Somerville about March
l. He has written his resignation and
presented 1t to the trustees of the local
Universalist society. He asks that the
resignation take effect March |.
The parish TO which Mr.. Maxwell has
been called contains about 300 families,
and the Sunday school has about 400 men,
bers. The society is prosperous and has
fine church ed6ce. 1t has recently
built large and attractive parish house.
Mr.. Maxwell has preached twice in Som
erville within few weeks.
Mr.. Maxwell came to Brattleboro five
years ago, this being his first pastorate.
He has performed all his pastoral duties
with the greatest acceptance AS a
preacher his work has compared favorably
| with that Of such noted predecessors as
Revs. Harris, Whitney and Illman. His
sermons have been marked by depth OF
thought and have invariably been deliv-
cred eloquently and impressively. Mr..
Maxwell has shown during his stay in
Brattleboro a capacity TO grow and i'm
prove. He is undoubtedly one of the
ablest young men in the denomination,
and is destined to take rank as leading
Universalist. Mr.. Maxwelrs constituency
and the entire community will regret TO
have him 60 from Brattleboro, but will
congratulate him upon his promotion to a
field of larger usefulness.
