two OF the late Spanish war veterans cared
for in the Home. These ara not counted
in the memhe rship as the United States
government has not provided for their care
in state homes. There are several who are
seriously sick in the hospital. The $1,000
appropriated by the legislature on account
of the damage done by the freshet to
roads, driveways, fences, buildings, etc.
has been nearly expended and but little
effects of the damage can now be seen.
The cost of eplarging the reservoir, new

Admiral Dewey's flagship in the battle Of
Manila, has been designated for appoint
ment as lieutenant in the marine corps by
President Mckinley. Young Gridley is
too old to enter Annapolis and the only
opening for him in the navy lay in the ap-
pointment to the marine corps, but be
lacked the necessary education and worse
than all, the money for study. The boy
was too modest to tell any one of his situa-
ton but Admiral Dewey, who loved his
father, suspected it, and determined to pay
the boys expenses while studying for a
lieutenancy. President Mckinley learning
OF the admiral's intention at once decided
to share the expense with him. Mr.. Grid
ley's mother, widow of the gallant command
er of the Olympia, is living in Erie, Pa,
drawing pension of $50 a month, which
friends in congress will seek to have in
creased by a special act during the ap-
preaching session.

F. c. Manchester Dead.

Hon. Forest C. Manchester of Winches
ter, Mass, died the 9th at the home of his
parents in Randolph. He had been i'll for
several months since his return from Cali
fornia, where he was sent about year ago
by the Massachusetts republican club, to
recover from severe poisoning suffered
at that time as result of eating clans. He
was at first so greatly improved by the
salubrious effect of his native climate that
his friends were very hopeful OF bis ulti-
mate recovery. Until the last he did not
relinquish hope of renewed health and had
plans formulated for going to hospital
soon for an operation. Kidney disease
was the malady from which he suffered.
Mr.. Manchester, who was considered
one of the ablest lawyers in Massachusetts,
had won considerable recognition there.
He was for some time business partner
of the well-known Benjamin Butler, end
was prominent man in political circles.
He has represented Winchester in the legis-
lature and his loss will be keenly felt there
as well as in his native place.
He was born September IL, 1859, max
ing his age over 40 years. He lett wife
and one child.

ludlow House Raided.

1t was about - 80 P. M, Monday, No
ven Der n. when deputy sheriff Coolidge
OF Plymouth, accompanied by D. w. Bug
bee, George Lawrence. Bert Es,ey, and
Ed b anchard all of Ludlow, demanded the
keys Of the clerk j. M. Tole, of the Lud-
low House in Ludlow. The keys were
produced and the search resulted in the
discovery and seizure of some bottles OF
liquor, which the sheriff identified as beer,
whskey and brandy. Whether they were
or not the court will decide.
Landlord o. F. Knowlton and Clerk j.
M. Cole were taken to the office of Stick
ney and Sargent and both charged with
selling and the latter with keeping. They
waived examination, not calling for coun-
sci, and bail was fixed for Mr.. Knowlton
at 5000, and for Mr. Tole at $3.50, which
was furnished. The hearing is set for
Saturday, December 9, in Stickney and
Sargent's office.

BISHOP TO CLERGY.
First Pastoral Letter Issued by 1t. Rev.
]. S. Michaud.

The first pastoral letter issued by H.
Rev. j. S. Michaud since his succession as
Bishop of Burlington was issued to the
reverend clergy and communities OF the
diocese on November 81. In the letter he
calls a months mind at the cathedral on
December at 9 o'clock. After the liberia
| the bishop will be seated upon the throne
aud will address the people. The priests
will then come to the throne and kiss the
ring of the bishop as q token OF their
acceptance of him as bishop and q pledge
of their faithfulness. This will be followed
by singing of the TIE Deum by the priests.
II is expected that all the priests in the
diocese will be present. Following is the
letter issued by the bishop:
To the Reverend Clergy and Religious
Communities of the Diocese, Health
and Benediction:
We find it very difficult to write to you
this, our first official letter, as Bishop OF
Burlington. 1t seems strange to assume
this name, so long used by our venerable
and venerated predecessor.
We were near him, and we may say, in
his friendship and confidence for 40 years,
as altAr boy, student, collegian, seminarist,
priest, and the last seven years bishop and
his coadiufor. What an intimate acquaint-
ance His death brought sorrow to us.
However, it had its consultations; for we
saw him preparieg for the end, saying his
mass, praying and lastly asking tor and
receiving the sacraments.
What consolation that he had the full
power of bis faculties to the end. Let us
pray the good God to give us like de-
parture from this world of trials and
temptations, when He so wishes to call US
hence.
Do not forget to offer up the Holy Sscri-
fee for the repose OF the soul OF the late
RI. Rev. L. de Goasbriand, at least three
masses one OF them should be high mass
and liberia. Make the service as grand as
possible; because this at least should be
done for him who had watched and labored
so zeaIously for the welfare of the people
of this diocese.
A months mind at the cathedral will be
on December 6, office and mass at 9
o'clock. All our priests are invited and
expected Tor this solemn service.
After the liberia, the bishop will receive
the homage OF the clergy, in the usual
form.
CRATIC Imperata, from Missa de Spiritu
Sancto: Deus, cui omne cor patel, etc"
Yours truly in Xto.,

Death of Mrs. H. E. Adams.

| The following is from the Burlington
Free Press. When in Bellows Falls Mr..
Adams was associated with Albert Derby
in sash and blind business. The family
lived in the house now owned by Alfred
Dow. Mrs. Adams was an aunt Of Mrs.
Helen B. jackson.
Melinda D., wife of H. E. Adams, died
Saturday evening, November 25, at 25
o'clock at her home at No. 220 Pearl street
il Burlington, after an illness OF about two
weeks. The end came suddenly and was
great shock to Mr.. Adams, who receives
the sympathy of wide circle of friends.
| Two weeks ago Mrs. Adams contracted a
severe cold, which developed into pnuemo-
MIA. Last Wednesday the nerve centers
began to break and from that time she
fsiled rapidly. The deceased was mem
Der OF the First church and was always a
faithful attendant, conscientious worker
and will be much missed both by the church
members and those who have been bene-
fitted by her many kindly acts.
Melinda D. Edison, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ophir Edison, was born In Chester
April 10, 1929. and was therefore 70 years
OF age. In 1884 she moved to Rocking
ham, where she lived until 1915, when she
returned to Chester. On April 10, 1860,
she was married to H. E. Adams and two
years later they moved TO Rockingham.
They lived in Bellows Falls until 1867
when they moved to Rutland, where they
lived - years, moving to Burlington April
l, 1879. Both Mr.and Mrs. Adams united
with the Congregational church in Chester
and have since been constant workers in
that denomination wherever they have been
located. For 20 years resident OF this
city and the wife of a man respected here
for his intelligence, business integrity and
Christian character, she came in contact at
different time, with great variety of peo-
pie, who were attracted to her by her kind
ly character and sympathetic nature. She
is survived by husband, three sons, Frank
h. Of Worcester, Mass, Marx w. of Bur-
lington, Edgar III. OF Brooklyn, sister,
Mrs. John II. Coon OF Brooklyn, N. Y,
and a brother, Franklyn Edison, ex-mayor
OF New York city.

oroken, OF course one man cannot be ex-

What is no doubt true, that he has built up

interests OF the town. 1t is not our inten-

Death of a Centenarian.

Miss Eliza Works died in East Hem
rietta, N. Y, November 81 at the remark
able age of 105 years. She has niece liv-
ing in this place, Mrs. Kate Works Black,
and nephew, John Works. living in
Westmoreland. N. HI. Speaking of Miss
Works the Rochester, N. Y, Demo crat
says:
Miss Works died yesterday after an i'll
ness OF several days. She was born in
Westmoreland, N. H.. January 8, 1894,
being the oungest of seven children, none
of whom attained extreme age except one,
who lived to be 101 years of ago. Miss
Works was woman of intelligence and an
enhusia site reader. Until she reached the
century mark she could read and write
without the aid of glasses, and also per-
formed fine needle work up to that age.
In a recent interview she said OF herself !:
"When little girl 1 used to 90 two or
three miles to school, and often the snow
was nearly three feet deep. My brother
took such long steps that it was hard for
me to follow him, SO he would pick me up
and carry me on his back. We had no
sweet C, kes then, as the girls have now,
and we played out of doors more than do
the children now a-days"
She and her brother, tanner by trade,
started tor Rochester early in the century.
The journey was to have been made by
sleigh. but the snow melted entirely away,
and this vehicle was exchanged for q
wagon.
She left Rochester in 1S49, at the time
of the death of her brother, going to reside
with be nephew, Mr.. Lincoln. She was
his housekeeper for many years, and did
the work unassisted Her last visit to her
old home in New Hampshire was when she
was 80 years old. At that time she visited
the White mountains in July and saw a
heavy snowstorm. Her memory of late
transac tions was dimmed, but events of
many years ago were fresh in her mind, as
is customary with old people. For many
years she kept diary, but recent fire
destroyed what would now be interesting
data.
She said of herself:
''They called me an old maid eighty
years ago"
ITO what do you attribute your long
life P" was asked her.
ITO my temperate habits and taking
proper care of myself" she replied.
She drunk neither tea nor coffee, ate no
condiment in her old age, and seldom par
took of sweets. Of very patriotic nature,
she took keen interest in local and national
affairs. She was member of the Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution.
Her lite formed part of nearly three
centuries, while many historical events
passed before her vision. Nations sprung
up, wars waged and ended, generations
came and went. and this old lady lived on
and on, being blessed much more than the
ordinary person by her Maker. 90

The Trees of Vermont.

Vermont is richly wooded area.
This is true both as to the number ant
the variety Of its trees. Seventy-fve kind
grow wild within our borders, and many
more thrive under cultivation.
Most Of the native or wild trees are Of
common occurrence; sixty of the seventy
five have been found within easy walking
distance of the University at Burlington.
Much of Vermont's wealth is directly or
indirectly dependent upon its trees. Its
growing fame as region of summer homes
is largely because of its attractive trees and
forests. Moreover, this state is peculiar
In that the tree covered areas are on the In
crease. 1t is well that this is so, for trees
OF the right kind are the most profitable
crop that can be grown on considerable
portion of the hills and mountains.
The intelligent fostering of this tree
growth and the appreciation of its beauty
as well as OF its value, is in considerable
measure dependent upon discriminating &C.
qusintance with the different kinds of trees
found in our forests.
In order to aid in thi, the Vermont ex-
pertinent station has just issued sn attrac-
tive bulletin on the trees OF the state. In
this each kind is described and the main
facts are stated regarding its occurrence
and value. The primary aim is, however,
to enable the reader to identity the various
trees with certainty. To aid in this accur-
ate Illustrations of the leaf or other parts
are given for each species.
The bulletin is especially intended for
the use of the public school teachers as an
aid IN nature study. A familiar acquaint-
ance with the common trees and other
plant, of the neighborhood, together with
their general characters and nses, should
be, and before long will be, an essential
part OF the education of every school boy
and school girl.
The bulletin will, however, be of interest
to all observers of our trees, and like all
the station publications, will be sent free
to anyone who wishes it. Requests for this
bulletin should be addressed to the expert
ment station at Burlington.

DOhertY States His Case.

When the trial OF the Doherty murder
case was resumed at Montpelier Monday
afternoon OF last week Charles Doherty,
the defendant, was called to the stand
ne testified that his home is in Ber~Vick
rams, Me, and that he worked at the Boil
ton Falls dam last February IS. On day Of
the shooting, he said to Murphy, Il under
stand you have said you are going to do
me-" To this Murphy replied, ~ never
sald So" Dohertv then went about his
business. The information that Murphy
nao made this statement was received by
Doherty that day from Andrew Buckley,
fellow workman. He had received in.
formation on the Friday previous that Muir
phy and colored man were planning q
scheme "to fix him."
Doherty testified that on the day of the
shooting defendant was in poor health, had
bad cough and had jammed bis chest
with load of stone on the dam. His ankle
was also in bad condition and he rested
very little nights. Stopped work Saturday
at o'clock. Saw Murphy between the
dam and the office: next saw him on the
road to Pixley's. Murphy said to him
I'VE might as well settle this difficulty" to
which defandant agreed. Witness wa,
frightened and took to the barn for safety
saw MURPHY coming toward him; was SO
frightened and nervous he shot Murphy
Before the shooting he could hear Murphy
talking about him almost every evening,
saving that he would kill him.
Doberty said Murphy badgered him about
his work all the time and he had decided to
leave the job because of this. Most every one
seemed to be picking on him. At the time
OF the shooting he went into the barn be.
cause he was afraid OF Murphy, but had no
intention OF killing him. Doherty said he
lhcssht the revolver to protect himself.
h the cross-examination by w. A. Lord
Doherty said be never had any trouble
with Murphy until ore night, the week Of
the shooting. Did not have Murphy in
mind when he bought the revolver at Wat
erbury the night before the shooting. AT
ter describing to the jury how he held the
revolver at the time OF shooting, Doherty
testified he had no recollection OF shooting
Murphy.
Francis L. Burnham of Lowell, Mass,
manager for Contractor Ward at the Boil
ton Falls dam, testified that three days be-
fore the shooting Doherty had asked to be
discharged; said he was afraid Murphy
would do him bodily harm.
The jury Wednesday found Doherty
guilty OF murder in the first degree.
