MARCUS WHITMAN.
An Eloquent Tribute to His Memory
ut the Congregational Church Sun.
day by Miss Virginia DOX.

The citizens of Barre who failed to
hear Miss Virginia box at the Congre-
galional church Sunday morning and
evening, missed the opportunity Of lis.
tening to the most gifted lady speaker
who has ever in our Judgment faced a
Barre audience. Miss box is a speaker
with national reputation, and by her
efforts yesterday is worthy of all the
compliments she has received. She
was in Barre raising funds for the en-
dowment of Whitman Memorial College
at Walla Wala Washington. She is
employed by DR., Nixon native Yer.
moner nov of Chicago who has given
$4,000 toward this fund If the churches
will give $4,000, and it is on this mis-
sion that Miss box is speaking through
out the country. She had no text at
the morning service, but gave sketch
of the life OF Marcus Whitman, discrib-
iny how the four Indians from the great
North West came to the military camp
ut st, Louis in 1882 searching for the
Bible and how by means of this visit,
Marcus Whitman and his wife and two
companions were the first white people
to cross the continent to Oregon. where
they taught the Bible to the Indians,
and she recalled how Whitman made
the journey from that country across the
land to Washington TO prevent President
Tyler and Daniel Webster from ceed-
ny all the territory of that section Of
this country to England. Told how he
was murdered by Indians employed by
the angry Hudson Bay company.
In the evening another large audience
heard this women tell The story of her
own missionary work among the Nor
mons of Idaho. She related her work
in the town of Oxford Idaho where she
was sent II years ago by the United
States Educational Commi<s on. In
graphic style she gave her story OF the
establishment of day school. Sunday
school, church services and night school.
Related how by her teaching and their
study thai Mormon population was con-
verted, Her story was interpersed
with stories and wit. She said many
kind words for the great hearted Cow
Bows and Miners among which she lab
orcd. Few American women have had
greater experience in this line of work
than Miss box and if she pays Barre
another visit large audience will greet
this eloquent woman.

Their facilities for manufacturing and

Europeans are far ahead of US in naval
stations, yards and docks. We are not
the only people on earth, though we
are the best. One of the first measures

a curious craze has cropped up for
the protection of land marks and places
of historical interest against the as
saults of American milhonaires. Stone
Hedge is the latest monument which is
alleged to be threatened and the news
papers are marshalling the public in a
patriotic fervor, subsequent to the an
nOuncement that it is for sale. Thomas
Hardy, the novelist, is among those
who have been writing to the papers.

Stone Hedge. An official of the anti
quarian society says an American
Spectator has already made an offer
with a view of transporting Stone
Hedge to the United States A com
mittee, supported by the Prince of
Wales, is trying to secure for the ma
ton the late Lord Leighton's house.
This is also threatened according to
rumor by American capital. But, it is
rather believed that the furore origin
ates in the shrewd methods of selling
agents, who, wishing to stimulate the
market, invent reports of American en-
terprise, while appealing to British pa
triotism. This apparently is not meet
ing with much practical success, for
in spite of rumors to the contrary the
famous lakes of Killarney are still for
sale.
