Senator Clark. Sea. Declared Vac,

Senator CIark's Seat Declared Vacant.
The Senate committee on privileges and
elections decided Tuesday to recommend
unanimously that. the seat OF Senator
Clark of Montana be declared vacant. The
senator is not charged specifically with
committing bribery, but the weight of evil
dence shows that bribery was committed
from which he reaped advantages, and by
his own testimony he furnished large sums
of money for political purposes. All of
the members of the committee condemned
the lavish use of money by Mr.. Clark.
Senator Pettus and Senator Harris con-
demned the DAILY men for methods quite as
reprehensible as those of the Clark faction.
Senator McComas said the $l39, 900 spent
by Clark on the state election was evident
ly laid out with view to the senatorship,
although Clark was not a candidate until
after the election of the legislature. The
fact that was almost conclusive of guilt
on the part of the Clark faction was the
destruction of vouchers for the outlay of
the $4,000
Mr.. Clark declines to discuss the report.
1t is generally believed in Washington that
he will not undertake a contest, as there
would be little hope with unanimous r.
port against him. He is likely to resign az
once. 1t is reported that he may seek an
other election as vndication, but his dis
grace is so complete that his retirement to
private life seems inevitable.

The entertainment at the Methodist
church by the Mysterious Trio'' last week
Friday evening was fairly we'll attended,
and was thoroughly enjoyable, each mem
Der being of the best of their kind. 'Dus-
nos" illusions were unique, and kept the
audience interested and expectant. Fred
Hansell as a whistling soloist, is master
of his profession and Hugh Emmett's per-
formances on the violin, and his wonderful
powers of ventriloquism were little short
| of perfection. To the eolian, mandolin,
banjo and guitar club the public are in
debted for the course of four first-class en-
tertainments, and it is to be hoped that the
club are not tout of pocket by their eff
forts.
The Christian Endeavor society held the
first of an intended series of sOcials at the
Congregational church vestry on Wednes-
day evening of last week. The vestry was
very prettily decorated for the occasion
and the entertainment was far above the
average. The first number was a piano
solo, finely rendered, by Miss Hazel Rob
erts. Singing by Miss Gertrude e. Leach,
and readings by Miss Caroline b. Howe,
both local favorites, were greatly enjoyed.
Miss Florence King read an ably prepared
essay on "Blessed be Drudgery," showing
that the hard things coming to us under
the head of drudgery were just the things
needed to bring out the best that is in us.
A pleasant variation were the selections
on the cornet by Mr.. Booth. A quotation
contest was also a novel and enjoyable
feature. Refreshments of coffee and cake
were served, and the spirit of good cheer
which perVaded the gathering made it an
evening to be remembered, and will make
the participants look forward with pleas
ure to the coming socials. Much credit is
due the committee who had the manage
ment of the affair.

Death Of "Grsndmnv CoI..

Mrs Mary A. (Slade) Cole, SO, who was
known throughout the community as
"Grandma" Cole, died at the home of her
son, William A. Cole, about o'clock Fri.
day night of old age after an illness of two
years or more. She had been confined to
the house since last December. Funeral
services were held at the house Monday,
Rev. W. T. Sparhawk of the Con
gregatonal church and Rev. J. H.
Bennett of the Methodist church Of
floating. The burial was in Mount
Pleasant cemetery. Mrs. Cole was
born in Worthington, Mass, Sept IL,
1876 She lived in Worthington until her
marriage to James NJ. Cole of Northamp-
ton Mass, Nov. II, 1885, when she went
to Northampton. A few years later Mr..
and Mrs. Cole moved to West Springfield,
Mass, coming to Putney 46 years ago.
They bought and lived in the house next
above the tn-shop on Kimball hill, and
Mr.. Cole bought and operated the old tan
merry where the Stowell factory now stands.
Mr.. Cole died Aug. l, 1888, and two years
later Mrs. Cole went to live with her son.

Nancy Reed of Cummington, Mass, Mrs.
Amanda Morrill, of Arcola, ILL.,, Mrs
Roxana Cranson of Charleston, Ohio, and
Mrs. Achsah S. Ely of West Springfield,
Mass. Mrs. Cole possessed a personality
distinct in its character from any other in
the village. She took deep interest in
the affairs of the town, and she had pro-
nounced opinions which she spoke unhesi-
tatingly. Every day in the year, when
able, she started out with her walking
stick to visit her neighbors, and her com
ing was expected as regularly as the rising
Of the sun.

Death ofLorinE A. Smith.

Loring A. Smith died Monday morning
at about 10 o'clock from pneumonia, after
an illness OF a little more than a week,
aged so years, 4 months and IL days. Mr..
Smith was born in Jamaica, VT, Nov. 20,
1849, but had spent the greater part of his
life in this town. For the past % years
he had been engaged in teaming to and
from the railroad station, a work which
brought him in contact with all classes,
and by his cheerful, obliging disposition he
made friends of all 1t has been said OF
him she had not an enemy" He was a
stanch Unlversalist, constant attendant
at that church, and always ready to do his
part, and more, in all ways possible for its
support.
Dec. %, 1874, he married Miss Augusta
Harris, who with an only daughter, Lucy
NJ, survives him. He was an Odd Fellow,
had filed every chair in his lodge, and at
the time of his death was one of the dis
trict deputies. He was also member Of
the local Rebekah lodge, and the q. o. G..
c., and great help in all the orders to
which he belonged. Besides the wife and
daughter he is survived by one sister, Mrs.
Horace Kilburn of Spofford, and one
brother, Geo. n. Smith of this village.
Whatever work Mr.. Smith had to do, or
in whatever position he was placed, he per-
formed all the duties in a faithful and
painstaking manner. A familiar figure on
our streets, generous and obligng, he will
be greatly missed Funeral services were
held at the Uuiversalist church at o'clock
Wednesday, and were in charge of Unity
lodge, No. 40, |. o. O. F., who, after a
sermon by the pastor of the church, Rev.
j. p. Marvin, performed their burial serv-
ice. The bearers were George Estey,
George Howe, NJ. d. White and William
Royce. A very large number of Odd Eel
lows and Rebekahs were present, nearly
filling the east side of the church, also the
attendance of other friends was large. A
profusion of beautiful flowers were on and
about the casket, several very choice
pieces being noticed among them. The
burial was IN Pine Grove cemetery.

ON TO CHARLESTON-A HINT.

An unusual sort of meeting will be
held at Charleston on 18th of Deem
Der, and to continue for four days. It
is a gathering of the League of Ameri-
can Municipalities. Charleston has
made abundant preparation for it's en-
tertainment in true southern style of
generosity and sumptuousnesS. The
mayors will be on hand in full force
and loaded-with speeches. A great
many topics bearing upon city govern
ment will be discussed. If they stir UP
the southern towns and induce all
to u a thorough system Of sewage
to be constructed a most important
work will AVE been done. There are
one hundred towns in the south now
suffering from hat fatal neglect, and
thousands of people die every year who
would live if the sanitation was bet
ter. Without sewage ramifying every
nook and corner of a town, and drink
ing water free from all poison, there
can be no such thing as general
health. Many people are made sick,
and some die every year, by reason of
too much digging, bad water, foul
gasses, terrific night odors and so on.
Build fewer railroads and take better
care of home people as to health is
wise and o p~ressingly needed. It
is am appeal to mercy and common
sense and humanity.

This country is to ave an immense
population in the future. That has
been long prophesied. The ratio of
increase fell 10 per cent in the asst de-
cade however. But Popular Science
Monthly has a population figurer and
he finds them in 1000 years the popu-
lation is to be huge beyond almost ex-
preston, requiring billions to state it.
Think of II, 900 persons to each square
mile. How can they move and live
and have their being?" Where will
the food come from a thousand years
from now. But not one of US will be
there to see it. The total is given at
40, S52, 273, 900. The Baltimore Sun says:
1.-THE percentage of increase in 1890
was 80 per cent, in 1880 it was "a per
cent. and 1890 it will be Ii per cent.
The rate decreases from decade to de-
cade, but the reduction of the rate to
zero is placed in the indefinite future.
The present population of 1000, 900
will by 1850 have been swollen to $780,
900, 900, according to the estimates pre-
scented. But the estimate of over forty
billions by 1900, or even the more mod
est estimate of 1,112,S 6 900 in Zoo,
seems to take insufficient account OF
factors that tend to restrict population.
The competition for the necessaries
extent long before one billion is reach
ed, to say nothing of forty billions.
Population increases in a century only
when the means of subsistence are in
excess of the need of the existing pop
ulatiOn."
