orange, the chandeliers being wound with
the colors. At one end of the hall was
hung the class motto in black and orange,
"Doe Ye Nexte Thynge."
The dance program was made up of IA

also designed the commencement pro-
grams.

Sadie Ford Mabel Hunt, Grace Eels,
Ethel Knight, Alice Colt, Mary Cundiff,

The Vermont Agricultural Experiment
station has distributed for posting in pub
lie places the following warning to prop
erty owners which begins, "Destroy the
Cocoons of the Forest Tent Caterpillars'
and continues:
"They are going to form cocoons on
foundations of houses, along the edges of
clapboards, on fences, bushes, etc. Each
one destroyed means 200 less caterpillars
next year. Crush them; or gather and
burn them at once. They will soon change
into moths and lay eggs. Write at any
time to Experiment Station, Burlington,
Vt, on matters concerning insect pests.

EDMUND ]. CAREY's DEATH.
Rev. Father Degn"n Tells How He
Was KILLED and speaks Of Him Per-
sonally In the Highest Terms.


Edmund Carey received yesterday from
Rev. VIM. E. Degnan, d. D., OF New
Richmond, Wis, a letter telling OF the
manner in which Edmund j. Carey met
his death and speaking of him personally
in the warmest and highest terms. Rev
Father Degnan addresses the letter to
"My Dearest Friends Father" and
writes in part:
with a heart aching with sorrow and
full of sympathy for you, the bereaved
father of Ed Carey, steal a few moments
from the dead, wounded and dying TO say
a word of comfort and resignation to yon
in these days of ailiiction. My loyal, good,
honorable and inseparable companion and
friend, Edmund Carey, met his death in
the terrible cyclone which swept over our
city Monday night, June II. He was in
the City hotel at the time and ready for
supper The alarm was given to rush for
the cellar, but poor Edmund, not knowing
the fierceness of the cyclone, preferred to
remain in the dining hall and was there
crushed to death beneath the ruins. | am
pretty confident that he lived for some
time beneath the ruined building. Before
the cyclone struck the city gave the gen
eral absoution to all who called upon God
for mercy and forgiveness. | was over to
the ruins of the hotel 10 minutes after the
disaster and calling for Ed. l feel that he
heard my voice and answered me. /
shouted to him to remain quiet, make an
act of contrition, that ! had absolved him
over and over again, and that we would all
endeavor TO rescue him, with all possible
haste. One hour afterward his dead body
was taken from the ruins His drug store
and all were buried in the ruins, and his
partner, John Patton, was killed in the
drug store.
Edmund went to his duty on May 21st
with the Catholic Foresters and on June
9, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, Edmund
approached Holy Communion, and made
his act of conservation. Have no fears
about his soul or his spiritual happiness
He was the best, honestest, purest and
truest young man | ever knew. He was
my best friend here, my inseparable COM
panion, the constant visitor of my home,
and my house was the place where he
spent his free evenings and leisure time.
| saw him every day since he came to the
city here, possessed his secrets, advised
with him in all things, and the thought
that he has been taken from me breaks
my sad heart His like shall never see
or meet again"
The latter part of the letter speaks words
of consolation to the bereaved father and
other relatives, and in closing Rev. Father
Degnan says that he has had no time to
look after any of +. j. Careys business
relations, but OF these he will write later.

House.

lived. He said that Mr. Carey was part
way down the basement stairs of the Mic
olett House when the cyclone struck the
house. copy Of the Minneapolis Sun

half-tone portrait of Mr.. Carey and pic
lures of the wrecked hotel and the drug

killed in the drug store. Mr.. Carey's
watch was found among the ruins. 1t

received from Will r. Smith by C. r.
Crosby stated that Mr. Carey evidently
died from suffocation. He had Just fin
ished supper when the storm broke. The
boarders who succeeded in getting into the
basement were saved.

good of Kensington, N. H., gives to his

Trouble for the Manager.

A company giving acrobatic performances
and living pictures and running a shooting
gallery, base bali dodger, ETC., arrived in
Brattleboro Monday. Having difficulty in
securing place to exhibit and becoming
involved i'll quarrel among themselves,
they broke up. 1t seems, however, that in
the dissolution of the company the mana
ger neglected to pay certain members of
his troupe and started to leave town Tues
day morning with this very important part
of his work undone. He was met at the
station by two men and woman of his
company, who were accompanied by Sher-
itf r. K. Gordon. One man claimed the
manager owed him over 500 but finally
agreed to "call it square" if he would give
the three 81 apiece. He was then allowed
to depart but it was remembered soon that
he had the woman's trunk in his possession
and was carrying it off. Sheriff Gordon
was again appealed to and telephoned to
Vernon to have the man stopped but there
was no officer there and so the manager
and the leading lady's wardrobe went to-
gether Tuesday night the three members
OF the troupe left here gave free entertain
ment before the American House and We'd
nesday left town. NC
