DEATH ENDS HER SLEEP.
Mrs. jeanette A. Stone Dies After
Lying Nine Days in Comatose
SfaFA

Mrs. Jeanette A. Stone Dies After
Lying Nine Days in Comatose
State.
A sleep of nine days ended yesterday
when death came to Mrs. Jeanette A.
Stone widow of stillman Stone, aged
II years, IL months, % days She had
been Ill since Oct. IL, when rheumatic
pains weakened her, and she fell to the
floor. Since that time, she had been con-
fined to her bed, and Dr. c. W. Whit
aker, who attended her, noted sleepless-
ness.
No drugs were given her, and she APP
peared to be much improved in condi-
ton. until Monday night of last week,
when she fell asleep. Since then all eff
forts to rouse her have been of no avail.
Last Friday nourishment was forced
between her lips, and once when her son
entered the room, her head twitched but
there was no awakning from the sleep.
She had been dying of old age until
yesterday and in the past few days no
food was given her as it could not be
swallowed. Local physicians are puzzled
Mrs. Stone had never suffered from
apoplexy and consequently the cause of
her comatose condition is the more
mysterious.
She was formerly a resident of Rut-
land, and after services at the house to-
morrow at II o'clock, the body will be
taken to that town for burial.

LOOK OUT FOR AGENTS.
Dr.. G. E. Wire Gives Timely Warn
ing Against Unprincipled Book Can
vassers

ing Against Unprlncipled Book Can
vassers.
To the Editor of The Spy:
Several cases have come to my notice
of persons getting into trouble in this
way: An agent for an illustrated bio
graphy or town history calls at the
house and wishes to sell the book He
will leave it for your inspection; if you
do not want it, he will call for it again.
The book remains in your house. Sew
eral demands are made on you. You
write letters saying you do not want the
book, and never did want the book
The agent calls and shows an order
from you written in pencil, and pur-
porting to be signed by you; asks if it
does not look like your writing, and
even goes so far as to say he saw you
sign the order. Then he threatens you
with proceedings in court, and a letter
comes from a lawyer ca. Many people,
of course, rather than be dragged into
a police court, settle for the book. Now,
let me tell you what to do first, last and
all the time-send the book back. As
long as you have their property, so long
are you responsible for it. Never suf-
fer the book to remain in your house
an hour after 1t is discovered. Wrap
it carefully and take it to the nearest
express office, pay your one-cent D amp,
and let them pay the rest. You cannot
be made to take anything you do not
want, nor can you be made to pay for
it, but you may be made to pay for
it, if in your possession.
This Is an old trick of book agents
and disreputable subscription compan-
les, and even some so-called responsible
houses encourage it. But it does not
seem to be known to the public. There
are probably scores of volumes in the
residences of Worcester left there pur-
posely in some instances semi-con-
cealed by the agent. If you have one
of these books, or if your friends have
any books left under these conditions,
send them back at once, and do not
allow any other agent to leave any with
you.
This is the safest and surest way to
avoid any trouble. Be careful about
your writing, for these agents are not
above forging or tracing your names to
an alleged order. 1t is only another
form of the lightning rod frauds, so
common in some parts of the country.

Frederick E. Gorham Left Worcester a Year
Ago and is Now Postmaster in Town
That Bears His Name in North Dakota
In Fair Way for Congress-

The story of the presence of Fred H.
Davis in the midst of the war in South
Africa, exclusively announced in yes
terday's Spy, was read with a great
deal of interest by his friends in this
city, ard his many deeds of neroism
while he was yet a boy were readily
recalled.
His mother, Mrs. Helen NJ Davis,
still resides at the family mansion on
Hawthorne street, and although all Of
her children are married and live away
from home, she is eonsoled by the fact
that each of them has made an ad-
Tantageous marriage with men who are
today prominent in the world.

ment of a Worcester boy in South Afri-

Bive announcement of the prominence

Young Gorham was born and reared
in this city, and during his course at
the high school attained much promin-
ence on the athletic field through his
ability as a short distance runner. 1t
was, however, as a member of the
VICTORIOUS HIGH SCHOOL CREW
of 1888 that he, together with the other
members of that crew, gained for them
selves distinction. Gorham was the
bow oar of the crew, and had charge
Of the raising Of the funds to enable
the. crew to purchase the shell with
which later honors We're won. After
his course at the high school, which
he finished with distinction, Mr. Corr

his climate on account of some toxical
affection, and one night went away
and from that time until the present
