Congregational ministers In session.

The Windham association of Congrega-
tional ministers met at the Brooks House
on Monday at 10 A. NJ. There we're pres
ent ii of the IA pastors at work within the
bounds of the association. Two of the
three not present have just come TO their
fields. Rev. G. f. Chaplin was chosen
moderator, and Rev. II. A Goodhue
scribe. Letters of dismission were granted
to the following members: Hyde and
Converse to Rutland association, and
Harris to that of Essex county, N. Y. 1t
was voted to receive H. r. Miles of Brat
tleboro upon reception of the letter from
Hartford association for which he has
made application. Brother Kimball OF
Dummerston read the conciO ad clerum,
which had been assigned to him. Brother
Shaw of Marlboro gave brief review of
Sheldon's recent book, "For Christ and
the Church"
In the afternoon Brother Chaplin of Sax
tons River led off in giving some impress
sions which he had received at the meet
ing of the International council, and was
followed by remarks from all the brethren
who were present at that gathering, five in
number. G. K. Smith from Revere Lay
college, now laboring in Halifax, made ap.
plication for license to preach, gave testi-
mony as to his education and church cou-
nection, was duly examined and licensure
for one year was granted him by a unani-
nous vote.
The program for the next meeting in
February was arranged. The principal
features are the concio by Miles, essay by
Estabrook deferred from present meeting,
Bible lesson by DeBevoise, review of a
book by Shaw, and report from the differ
ent churches All the fields are now sup.
piled except Cambridgeport, where some

Sandusky, comparatively an old town,
was settled early in the century by emf
grants from New York It was here that
Col. Crogan made his brave defence against
the Indian allies of the English in 1912.
The islands in Lake Erie, near the city, are
noted for the production Of the Catawba
grape, from which large quantities Of ex-
cellent wine are made Sandusky people
furnishing the capital and controlling the
sale of the grapes and wines grown in the
vicinity. The city is a railroad centre and
shipping port for bituminous coal brought
from southern Ohio. Ninety of the lake
fleet of vessels, sail and steam, are owned
by the merchants of this city and the total
commerce of the port ranks as a prominent
factor in the carrying trade of the lakes.
The extreme western end of Lake Erie
terminates in small land-locked bay, into
which the Maumee river pours the drainage
of the great ''Black swamp" which is the
most fertile land in Ohio, lying SO miles to
the south Toledo lies on both sides of the
river, and has the best harbor on the south
side of the lake The city has population
of $50, 900 inhabitants, and owns go YES
sells, including line of six elegant steam
boats, forming daily line to Mackinac.
The annual export of West Virginia and
Ohio bituminous coal to Canada amounts
to several thousand tons, and a larger
amount is sent to Lake Superior ports
There were 5000, 600 bushels of wheat and
100000 bushels of corn sent to Atlantic
ports by rail in 1898 and the trade in live
stock is a notable feature of the city's ex-
ports. The farm products for expectation
are obtained from Indiana and Ohio and
the same sources furnish all of the Ohio
towns on the lake shore with a respectable
quota of produce which is sent east either
by lake via Buffalo or forwarded by the
several railroads passing through the cities
above mentioned. The American towns
on the shore of Lake Erie contain APP
proximately 100000 of people. Nearly
all the market supplies of meat, fish and
farm produce, including fruit, are fur
nished by the farming towns in the same
counties where the cities are located. The
farmers, having fertile soil and favorable
climate, should not fail of receiving more
than an average income. c. II. S.

who Was Stricken with ApopIe1y
Thursday, the End Coming Saturday.
Had Held Public Offices Many Years.
William o. Miller was stricken with
apoplexy on Thursday, Nov. 2, 1899, about
10 o'clock In the evening and died about
I o'clock on Saturday morning, Nov.
4, aged SO years. Although he has been
in failing health and strength during the
past two years, yet he was able to perform
some manual labor on the farm or about
the premises, almost daily. On Sunday,
Oct. 20, he attended church, and it was a
matter of encouragement to the few per-
sons who were present to see him In his
accustomed place, although the weather
was unfavorable for the attendance of
man so full of years and the infirmities of
age.
Mr.. Miller was born in Dummerston,
Jan. 81, 1916 His parents, William and
Esther (Knight) Miller, then lived in the
north part of the town near Putney West
Hill. His father was grandson of Capt.
Isaac Miller, who settled In Dummerston
in l770, with family of y children. His
mother was granddaughter Of Jonathan
Knight, Esq, who settled in town in liza,
was seriously wounded in the court house

represented the town in the state legisla-
ture during the years 1878, 70, 80 and
'S3. William Miller sold his farm in the
north part of the town and bought the
Hosea Miller farm in 1885 and moved his
family to the place in the spring of that
year, and it has been the home of William
o. Miller for Ga years.
For few years after coming to the new
home, William o. Miller and his brother
Dana taught school during the winter
months and are well remembered by their
pupils now living, as successful teachers in
the school at Dummerston Centre when
go or more scholars we're in attendance.
In 1916 and AT Mr.. Miller was representa-
tive of the town TO the state capital, and
probably no representative from Windham
county in the legislature Of those years is
now living. He was chosen constable and
collector in 1874, and, with only two excep-
tions, he was annually chosen to that Of
fee for more than 40 years, or until he
found a young man whom, in his judg-
ment, he considered competent to fill the
office acceptsbly to the public, and then he
asked to be released from the service and
named his successor, who proved to be
trustworthy and efficient Off .er and who
still performs the important trust that was
confded to his predecessor.
Mr. Miller was high bailiff of Windham
county two years; was appointed postmas-

---Insurgents Only Three Miles Away
in the swRmPs--RRIn and Mosquitoes.
Three interesting letters have been re-
ceived by John + Anderson of Philadel-
phia, formerly of Brattleboro, from his son,
John II. Anderson of the Marine battalion.
The first was written at sea Sept. Z, Just
before the transport containing $50 army
men and $50 marines arrived at Yokohama
Japan. Young Anderson writes: tine
food is good and we have good quarters to
sleep in" Anderson was made cleIk of
his company soon after leaving San Fran
cisco.
In the second letter, dated Nagasaki,
Japan, Sept. II, he speaks of the trip
through the beautiful inland sea, where
the transport ran so close to the shore that
the natives on the rocks handed fruit
ashore with poles. The transport Morgan
City was wrecked between Kobe and
Nagasaki, but all of the 800 soldiers on
board were saved. These soldiers we're at
Nagasaki when Anderson arrived there.
Anderson writes from Cavite Sept. %:
"We arrived at Manila the 10Th inst. and
are now stationed in the city of Cavite,
about one-half mile from the navy ward
Our quarters are fine and we are getting
things in shape. Cavite is about eight
miles from Manila across the bay on a
small island. The insurgents are three

So years, and was clerk of the Centre
school district 80 years.
He was one of the original corporators
and trustees of the Brattleboro savings
bank at its organization in 1870, and held
those offices until his death. He had rare
ly failed I'm attendance upon a meeting of
the trustees, though during the last two or
three years of declining health he had only
made it a point to be present at the more
important meetings.
In all the offices which he has held, he
discharged his duties with fidelity aud
thoroughness. He was a prosperous far
mer, a very helpful member of society
and very worthy citizen of the town.
Oct. 2S, 1856, he married Julia, daugh-
ter of Ira and Jemima (Ward) Haven,
whose ancestors, Ebenezer and Abigail
Haven, settled in town in ITO. Their
children were William Dana, a graduate

well-known singer, lives on the home farm
and was the towns representative in the
last legislature.
Mrs. Miller died July 81, 1896. Mrs.
Mary NJ. Rust and Lucretia Miller are the
two sisters of Mr.. Miller now living.
Rev. p. +. Barnard Of Westminster, who
was pastor of the church in Dummerston
from 1890 to June 1893, officiated at the
funeral and was assisted by Rev. l.. C..

TO townspeople friends were present from
Brattleboro, West Brattleboro and Vernon.
The services were held at the house Tues

village cemetery where several generations
of the Miller family and many of the first
settlers of the town were laid 10 rest.

Marriage License for Dewey.

A marriage license was issued at Wash
ington Wednesday to Admiral George
Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen. The APP
plication for the license was made by
Lieut.. Harry H. Caldwell OF the navy,
Admiral Dewey's secretary. The nforma-
ton furnished the clerk and set forth in
the license is that the Admiral is 81 and
his bride-elect 43; that both are citizens
of the United States, and that in the case
of each party there was one former mar
riage. To these statements Lieut.. Cald-
well was required to make oath. 1t was
said that the wedding would take place
Tuesday or Wednesday of next week,
though neither the Admiral nor Mrs. Ha-
Zen would give the day. The wedding
will probably take place at Mrs. Hazen's
home.

Oct. @, 1899.
In adding line to my note of the pre-
vious boat which took me through the
finest scenery in japan and left me at Ma
goya and Gifu, will say that we left the
latter place for Hikone, where we had the
guide cook for us an edible lunch Of fish,
chicken, eggs and beer at the "Rakuraku
(yeu)" inn, situated on the edge of one of
those unmatchable little japanese gardens,
which are a concentration of natures and
mans efforts to unite all that is the es-
sence of picturesqueness into a limited
amount of space. There is always a rare
collection of stunted trees, artificial islands
and peninsulas spanned by stone bridges
and ornamented at intervals by stone Ian
terms and bronze stoIks and miniature
stone pagodas, which are quite sufficient
to cheer the most wearied wanderer and
instill within one a feeling Of solace as well
as superiority over obedent nature.
Hikone as a village is but name when
considered apart from its situation, which
commands view of many miles of Lake
Biwa, whose water Is the color of Yale
flag and whose surface as unrippled as a
plate of soup.
From Hikone the railroading is through
mountains of volcanic creation and hills
covered with bamboo growths resembling
willows) which alternate with tea planta-
tions, orange groves, persimmons and
palms in dressing the country in different
tints of green. This route takes one TO
Kioto, the former capital of Japan, and
by far the busiest city in the island. Here
the trolley has actually been accepted, and
though crude in its construction it is sug-
gestive of home TO see something act and
operate without the exertion of muscle.

look over the whole city and the presence
of electric lights at night is proof that the

Temples and shrines are numerous and
the bronzes are famed throughout the en-

the best, and certainly their number and

shops but little is displayed but all Is kept
in boxes which are willingly unpacked and
spread out for your inspection, whether

must go alone and unheralded, for If you
ask the guide to take you anywhere he
will anticipate you with a little remark in

proprietor about 10 per cent for the guide:
commission in taking you there. In fact
the natives are so in league with each Other
that they put themselves out to pay the

not, unless you are travelling unguided.
And here l might say could trave
