Mrs. Phila Mather Brown, -, wife Of
Patrick 5. White of Birge street, died at
her home Wednesday morning about : -
o'clock of heart disease. Mrs White was
born in Marlboro Aug. IL, 1924, and was a

and who was the first person of that name
TO land on American soil. She lived in
Marlboro until her marriage, which took
place March :, 1919. Immediately after
their marriage Mr. and Mrs White came
to Brattleboro, and they have lived here
ever since, all but three years of that time

died. Mrs. White was the last of family
of five children. Besides her husband she
leaves two adopted daughters, Mrs. A. j.
Morris OF West Bedford, Mass, and Mrs.
A. T. Kirkwood, who lives at 5 Birge

strong convictions, and she possessed those
elements of character which made life hap.
Ply for herself and those by whom she was
surrounded She was always doing good
to the limit of her strength. She had been
in i'll health for several years and had
failed steadily since the latter part of
March. The funeral will be held at the
house at l o'clock tomorrow, Rev. +. +.

Extraordinary scene In the mou.e.

Littlefed of Maine was the central
figure Friday in one of the most extra
ordinary scenes ever witnessed in the
House. He delivered speech in advoca-
cy of the trust amendment to the Consti-
tuition which he had drawn. After talking
an hour and half on the legal aspects of
the question, with strength which COM
manded the close attention of everybody,
he ended with burst of eloquence that
produced an unprecedented effect
The principal part of his speech was a
legal argument. The conclusion was a
partisan attack upon the Democratic party
and a partisan lauda.ion of his own. The
Democrats fairly covered in their seats as
he bore down on them with cumulating
denunciation. When he turned to his own
side Of the house, and painted in constant
ly-heightened colors the performances of
his own party and the future as Judged by
the past, the Republicans gathered en-
thusiasm as he went on and broke out ir.
resistibly in cheers at the end. They
sprang to their feet and shouted and surged.
1t was fully three minutes before order
could be restored
In spite OF its dramatic accomplishments,
Littletield's speech did not carry the dav.
The amendment was beaten, lacking a
two-thirds majority. The vote was l54
yeas and 1873 nays, and the division was
almost on party lines. The only Repub-
licans who voted against the amendment
were Mccall and Loud.

Montague High school Ben en- 10 10 g.
BrattIeboro High school Boys played
by Far the Fastest Game OF the Sea-
son.
The base ball game last Saturday, be-
tween Brattleboro and Montague High
schools was the quickest and snappiest
game played here in two years. Battle
boro seemed like a different team from
that which was beaten here two weeks
ago by Hinsdale. The team was greatly
strengthened by the addition of Parkess
who consented to come out to play for the
first time this year. His hitting, fielding
and coaching were great factors in the
success of the nine Boyle and r. Frost
also put up Al ball and the rest of the
team were not far behind. Houghton
pitched steadily and effectively, allowing
but two clean hits and giving shut two
bases on balls. For Montague the work
of Dbble at third and McCue, the regular
Milers Falls catcher, was excellent.
Ryther was knocked out of the box in the
second inning and his successor was not
much of an improvement. Montague did
not score until the eighth inning, when a
three-bagger by McCue and an error by
Fitzgerald scored a run. The only dis
appointing feature of the game was the
small attendance, but the boys should get
a large crowd when the Greenfield High
school, their greatest rival play here June
is. The score.

So far as known only II of the men who
formed the first Republican convention,
which met in Philadelphia on June Is,
1896, are now living. 1t was a thought
tul act OF Chairman Hanna, on behalf of
the Republican National committee, to
send these veterans a special invitation to
attend the convention of their party which
meets in Philadelphia on June 10, 1900.
These men saw their party's beginning
with a total vote of 1,34l, 264 popular and
ia electoral votes, and they saw it cast
total of 7,0l4,779 popular and 271 electoral
votes in the last national contest. 1t is
eminently fitting that they should be
brought together again on the scene of
that great beginning of A years ago.

I'm PemmanshIp and Drawing by the
Pupils of the Public schools.
The exhibition of the work in drawing
and penmanship done in the public schools,
which was held in the High school room
last Friday and Saturday, was well worth
attending. 1t is only two years since the
natural vertical system of writing was in
PRODUCED into the schools of the village,
and remarkable results have been obtained
for that space of time. In the case of the
older pupils who used the slant system for
six or seven years, it has not been as easy
TO adopt the new method, but they show
marked improvement; and in the lower
grades the result is very satisfactory in its
neaness and perfect legibility.
The work shown in drawing was inter-
esting throughout. Original work is re-
quired from all the grades, and color and
brush work is in all the schools. Water col
ors are used from the fifth grade up, liquid
color and colored crayons in the classes
below. The work shown included study
of historic ornament and application of
designs in original work; the illustration
of stories and other original, imaginative
work; drawing from nature; original de-
signs for china painting, posters, book
covers and wall paper; and mechanical
drawing. The whole drawing exhibit re-
fleets much credit upon Mrs. II. II. Crosby,
the drawing teacher. The course is orig
inal with her, and her patience and artis.
tic skill have brought about the excellent
results shown,

Miss l. VI. Parker.

Miss L. NJ. Parker, trained nurse, died
very suddenly at l o'clock Sunday morn
ing from heart disease at the home of Mrs.
H. NJ. Houghton, at - Frost street, where
she boarded. Miss Parker came here last
February and had since been employed as
a nurse in anumber OF families. For some
time she had been at L, b. Yauveys on
Cedar street attending his young SON Sat
urday morning she finished work there
and was at her boarding place Saturday.
She was taken i'll during the day and died
early Sunday morning. 1t was found at
ter her death that during Saturday she
had been cleaning her room and had des-
troyed all her letters so that no clue could
be discovered as 10 where her friends lived.
From what she had told Mrs. Houghton at
various times it was thought that broth
er was living in Boston. A telephone
message to the hospital from which she
was supposed to have graduated brought
an answer that nothing was known of her
relatives, The Boston police were then
consulted and her mother and brother
were found to be living in Dorchester,
Mass. The brother came here Monday
and took the body to Nova Scotia, their
former home, where the funeral and burial
were TO take place.

made a play which for speed and its
unusual result was marvel. Collins was
on first in the third inning, when Tenney
knocked up a fly to centre. Though
Collins took no more room OFF first than
was discreet, even if he knew what was
coming, Barrett had no sooner caught the
ball than he threw like chain lightning to
Beckley at first and "nailed" Collins before
he could get back.
