Is Mary Ayers Alive?

Editor Phoenix: | think these
continual and evidently false reports
about Miss Ayers being seen here and
there and everywhere should be
stopped. | have been told that these
reports keep Mrs. Ayers in continual
ferment of mind. | never knew Miss
Ayers and do not know what has be-
come of her, but | can safely guaran-
tee that she has not become either
monk or a nun. And one would
have been about as feasible to her as
the other.
Your Brattleboro informant saw
Mary Ayers in the grey nunnery at
Montreal and a moment afterwards
she MARY Ayers) had disappeared,
through the floor, | suppose. Your
informant was not able to enter the
women's ward upon account of re-
pairs. It's a pity. Had she been
able to enter the ward, | am sure she
would have entered just in time to see
Mary Ayers disappear again, through
a window or up chimney. This nun
business is laughable to any one at
all posted in such matters, but it is
cruel towards the unfortunate mother
of the poor girl.

lDoston Correspondence OF Dec. in Music

Gen. j. j. Estey of ,the Estey Organ
company OF Brattleboro, Vt, was in to WIN

house. " Ai'

10 the query regarding affairs with his
company. "This will be the best wear we
have had since 1893, and will surpass even
that in the amount of business done. even

by the way" continued the General.
VI was much interested in the little story
IN the last Music Trades concerning the
sale OF American organs on the coast of
Africa. We have sold probably more or
gans IN different parts of the world, civil
ized and unc'vilized, than any other Amer
lean house. Why, l personally received
an order during the past month from a
nrh In Hobart Town, Tasmania, for 40 of
our organs, and the people there didn't
even know our prices. They referred me
TO several well-known London houses for
references, and instructed me, If we were
satisfied with these, to ship the goods as
soon as possible, leaving the question of
terms to us, stating that they would be
satisfied that we would treat them right.
I'VE are also doing a good and increas-
ing business with Australia and the entire
Pacific Archipelago, even shipping goods
once in a while to Africa. 1t was some
time ago that we received an order from a
famous missionary to ship one OF our style
L organs to native chief, whose kraal
was well up in the interior of the Dark
Continent. In order to have that instru-
ment reach the chief in proper shape we
had to build case especially for it, line
this with zinc, and then build two other
cases around the whole. This, so the mis-.
sionary explained, was because there was
no landing place where the goods were
shipped to, and so they had to be thrown
bodily overheard aud then towed ashore
by the natives in their canoes.
1--WE shipped our weekly order of 40 in
struments to London last week, and in or
der to get them there on time, we had to
ship them to Southampton by the Amerl-
can Line, instead of by the Furness Line
from Boston. This was on account of the
fact that the great London dock strike has
pretty effectually tied up things in London
Most of these goods for the foreign trade
are our style T, and the demand for them
is increasing every month"

THE VETERA ENGINEER.
Remarkable Record OF William -.
Ham, Who K"pt LOcOnO ives Oh the
Halls Over 40 Year.

William Il. Ham, for many years a
well-known engineer on the New London
MOI them road, was one of Brattleburo' 3
Thanksgiving guests, having spent the
day with Mr.. and Mrs. V. q. Jones. Mr.
Hams railroad career was varied and in
terestlng. During his service as engineer,
covering n period of more than 40 years
he never cOllided with train nor was he
ever run down by a train. More remark
able still is the fact that he remembers
having killed but one man with his en-
CINE, and this was probably & case of sui
eide.
Mr.. Ham entered he employ Of the
New London road at the age of Is as fire.

capacity he was given an engine running
between New London and Palmer. Sew
enteen years later he was sent South by
the government and had charge of the
rolling stock al Morehead City, n. c., the
government then operating the road be-
tween that point and Bachelors Creek, 10
miles beyond Newburn. At the close of
the war he went TO the Rome and Water
town railroad engineer between Rome
and Ogdensburg. Here he served about
year before going to the New York Cen
trail to run the Buffalo express between
Utica and Syracuse. Two years later
he went to the Boston and Albany. his
route being between your city and Pitts

After eight yaers of service on this line
he went back to the New London road
and began running the mail train from

cal Review OF His Work with III.
Church There.
After successful rectorship of nearly
five years, Rev e. T. Mathison of Imman.
uel church, preached his farewell sermon
to large congregation Sunday evening.
He was assisted in the services by Rev.
Robert b. Kimber, recently of Trinity
church, Seymour. The separation was
deeply felt both by the rector and the con-
gregation, and there were many moist eyes
at the close OF Mr.. Mathison's fervent SER
mon.
The subject of the sermon was Glove
the Brotherhood" and from this text Mr..
Mathison gave forceful address which
could not help to appeal to all in his audi.
ence. He spoke of the need of clingng
to religion for its own sake and not simply
on account of the minister through whom
it is preached.
In response to the request for a brief
resume of his work here Mr.. Mathison
gave the following statistics, which afford
a good idea of the growth of the church
under his leadership:
Number of children baptized, 1rb
Number Of adults baptized, 40
Marriages, IS
Funerals 10
Number Of CT urch members at the begin.

Mr. Mathison also spoke of the work
which had been done during his rectorship,
which included the paying of the church

from the corner of Church street and How
ard avenue to its present location, the
equipment of the church with electric
lights, steam heat and an organ, the bnild-
ing of the present entrance, the purchase
of additional land, the building of side
walk about the property, and the estab-
lishment of a rectory fund. He said that
the total amount of money spent in perm
anent work outside the regular channels
was about $9700.
At the close of the service Mr.. Mathison
babe farewell to those of his congregation
whom he had not already seen. He left
this morning for Brattleboro, VT, where
he will begin his duties as rector of ST.
Michaeps church in that town. His new
charge is the largest church of the Episco-
pal denomination in southern Vermont,
and his work there will include large out
side territory.
Mr.. Mathison's first reclorship was at
st. Andrews church in Marblehead, Cohn.,
where he worked for about year previ-
Gus to his coming to Ansonia. During his
stay in this city he has endeared himself
to not only his congregation but all with
whom he has been associated in any way.
His departure is a loss to the whole COM
munity and his many friends here wish
him success in his new field Ansonia,

And never grow tired at all
And only the Master shall praise us,

And each in his separate star;

No bill was found by the Suffolk
grand jury, in session in Boston Satur-
day for the December term, in the case
of Henry w. Deane, an officer of the
house of correction, who, in the South
Boston court, was held for murder for
shooting a colored prisoner, John
Johnson, who had assaulted him. This
news was received with great salts
faction at SaXtons River, where Mr..
Deane's family live. and where he is
highly esteemed. The evidence pre-
scented to the grand jury was prac-
tically the same as that heard by
Judge Fallen of the South Boston
court, who ordered Mr.. Deane to be
held without bail. The case cannot
be reopened unless new evidence is
found.

time of need for ten times its cost"
Mrs. Mary Lawler, of Appleton, Wis,
was cured of kidney trouble by Peruna.
In u recent letter to DIR. Hartman, she
says: "Last August caught a summer
cold which settled in the kidneys and
caused me serious inconvenience. Moth
ing did seemed to help me and the
doctor advised a change of climate. AS
that was out of the question for me, 1
tried Peruna as last resort, and found
it was God-send to me-"
The kidneys are the natural gateway
out of which much of the waste tissue
finds its escape. This waste matter be-
comes very poisonous substance if al
lowed to accumulate. The renal artery
brings the blood charged with impuri-
ties to the kidneys.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1900-12-14

If the kidneys are healthy they will
excrete the poison from the blood. The
renal veins return the purified blood
from the kidneys to the general cir
culation.
Peruna stimulates the kidneys to ex-
crete from the blood the accommodating
poison, and thus prevents the convul-
sions which are sure to follow If the
poisons are allowed to remain. 1t gives
great vigor to the hearts action and
digestive system, both of which are apt
to fail rapidly in this disease.
Kidney diseases are more liable in
summer than in winter. Send for a
copy of "Summer Catarrh," written by
DIR. Hartman. This book will be sont
free to any address upon application.

Remarkable. E.cau. from Death.

Conductor Charles j. Knight of Green
field, in charge of the switching engine on
the Connecticut River division of the Bos-
ton and Maine road, was struck and
knocked down Sunday bya switch engine on
the Fitchburg division and was seriously
injured. He was standing on the Fitch
burg track in Greenfield when struck. He
was rolled over and over for distance of
Is or 20 feet, his head at one time coming
on the track directly in front of the NOV
ing wheels. The engine was stopped as
soon as possible, and Knight was able to
Jump up. One arm, which was amputated
between the wrist and elbow some time
ago, as the result of railroad accident at
Bellows Falls, was broken and the elbow
crushed. Knight also received two bad
cuts in the head and one hip was hurt.
Station Agent Stoddard and other men
who witnessed the accident say that in
their experience they never saw such a
marvellous escape from death. Knight
was formerly freight conductor between
Windsor and Brattleboro. He is well
known here by trainmen and others.
