NOBLE LIFE ENDED.
Death, in BrnttIebOrO, OF Mrs. Frances
A. Barrett, Whose Life Was spent I'm
City Missions.

Death, in BrnttIebOrO, OF Mrs. Frances
A. Barrett, whose Life Was Spent In
City Missions.
A noble life, characterized by its zeal in
the Masters service, came to a close last
Friday in the death of Mrs. E. K. Barrett,
43, of Is South Main street. Mr.. and Mrs.
Barrett came to Brattleboro year ago in
the hope that Mrs. Barrett might find rest
that would build up her impaired health
and enable her to return to her work as an
evangelist, but she became afflicted with
Bright's disease, which induced apoplexy,
causing her death. Funeral services were
held at the house at 2 80 o'clock Monday
afternoon by Rev. +. E. Marble, Phi. D.,
pastor of the First Baptist church, and the
burial was in Morningside cemetery. The
singing consisted of two hymns, which
were Mrs. Barrett's favorites in her evan
gelistic work, and the bearers were men in
whom she had bad personal interest.
Mrs. Barretts maiden name was Frances
A. Nixon, and she was born in New York
city, Jan. %, 1857. Her father, James NJ.
Nixon, was a theatrical manager of note,
bringing out such noted men as Buffalo
Bill and Edwin Forces. When she was 12
years old her mother died, and she was put
in Roman Catl Ollie convent with the ex-
pectation that she would become a nun
From that ime her life was filed with re-
mari arkable experiences. One day she al
lowed young physician TO prescribe for
an illness with the result that she uncon-
sciously became the slave of a powerful
drug. So completely didi take possession
of her that her life was despaired of by
eminent physicians. But she resolved to
hrn l. off hn lahf ov,As 10,
tent meeting one night she prayed that her
life might be spared that she might conse-
crate it to the service of God. Straightway
her health was restored and thenceforlh
her life was devoted to mission work.
Thirteen years ago Mrs Barrett married
E. E. Barrett of New York, who was also
engaged in mission work. Ten years ago
Mr., and Mrs. Barrett were engaged as SUI
perintendents of the city mission of the
Church of the Holy Trinity in New York
city. Since then they have done evange-
listic work in New York, New Jersey and
in parts If the New England states. S. H.
Hadley, of the old Jerry McAuley mission
on Water street, New York, who was in
Brattleboro year ago, said that Mr. and
Mrs. Barrett we're among the most efficient
workers the mission had ever employed
Mrs. Barrett had become interested in a
Thursday night prayer meeting in Brattle-
boro, in which she was doing good work.
She had a remarkable inf 1ence over young
men, thousands of whom have been con-
verted through her efforts.
Besides her husband, Mrs Barrett leaves
a sister, Mrs. Walter Bramhall of Yoko-
hama, Japan, wife of silk importer, and
a brother, Eugene ID. Nixon, of North
Adams, Mass. She was a member of a
Baptist church in New Jersey.

Rev. DIR. HSrris's Sermon on News
papera.

Rev. DR.. Harris of Worcester, formerly
of Brattleboro, has pleased the daily papers
OF that city by preaching a sermon, heart
lily commencing them IS a whole, and ex-
pressing the opinion that they are as free
from bad and sensational features as news
papers can well be. He believes them TO
be credit TO the profession. The editors
will now doubtless reciprocate and see that
the reverend gentleman gets due promi-
nence in their columns. On the whole, II
is good sign when the ministers and edi-
tors OF town come to a thorough under
standing, and are disposed to accord each
other the fairness and liberality of treat
meDt that good sense, the welfare of the
public and the mutual interests of both
parties suggest. Mr. Harris has a sensible
word for the Sunday newspaper and says:
AS to the arguments used against 1t,
there is not as much Sunday work done
upon the Sunday issue as that of Monday
the matter in the best Sunday papers, in
proportion to what they contain, that is
unfit for Sunday reading is no greater than
in some OF the so-called religious papers. /
am unable TO see why buying a paper on
Sunday is any greater dissertation than
buying an electric car ticket or hiring
livery team. There should be a difference
between the Sunday paper and the daily
edition, just as there should be q difference
between Sunday and a week day. The
Sunday paper should be Sunday paper
in being better in spirit, purer in tone and
more largely devoted to religious reading.

Champion naItle.naL. Hunter.

w. E. Dresser Of Farley, an employee of
the Farley Paper company, is the champion
rattlesnake hurter of Franklin county.
The town of Ervug offers a bounty of 81
on each snake killed, ard young Mr. Ores
ser has secured SO from this source this
year and his fath,r s.. The Dressers have
arranged a ladder so that they can see into
the "old den," where the snakes have had
headquarters at least 20 years. When a
snake crawls out on the shelf to get into
the sun the Dressers throw him out of the
hole with hook fastened to a pole, and
then beat his snakeship TO death with a
club. Some Of the rattles which are held
at the Office of the Farley Paper company
as trophies indicate snakes II years old
The longest snake measured four feet three
inches, and there was one that measured
but two inches less. They were about two
and one half inches in diameter.

Lord Rosebery's retirement from the
turf again recalls the story of his early am
bition TO become premier of Great Britain,
to marry the richest heiress In the king
dom, and to win the Derby. Having ac-
complished all three of these purposes, ne
is now practically out of politics, after hav-
ing been premier. The daughter of a
Rothschild, whom he married, died and
left him an enormously wealthy widower,
and now his famous stable, which has won
three Derbys, is to come under the ham
mer. 1t looks as If this fortunate man had
nothing more to live or to strive for Bos-

Bear. sh u in Shrewsbury.

Wallace Hutchinson of Windsor and
Wallace Washburne of Woodstock were
deer hunting in Shrewsbury about dusk
Tuesday when they suddenly came upon a
male and female bear and two cubs.
Washburne fired six shots, killing the
female bear and a cub. Hutchinson
wounded the male bear, which then attack
ed him. He fred again and the bear fell.
de then went to the assistance of Wash
burne, and little later when the two re-
turned the male bear had disappeared.
They followed the bloody trail some dis
lance, but were obliged to return on
account OF the darkness. They expect to
secure the bear, however. The female
weighed 1850 pounds and the cub 90 pounds.

The Great Issue.
From the Barre Telegram.

The great issue now before the legisla-
ture is that Of high licence VS.. prohibition
This will come TO the front, now that the
senatorial question is settled and will be
fought to finish. From all that we can
gather there will be very little change in
the present laws. 1t is possible that a
referendum measure, without binding eff
feet, and taken simply TO show the real
sentiment Of the people, may be adopted.
The friends of local option claim only 100
votes out of 216.

containing $4,000, thereby saving 81 per
thousand on the difference. When the
package arrived at its destination il was
found to contain only $4,000, in accordance
with the record, and now the frugal Mr..
Eckstein is bordering over what he had
better do about it.
The development of the rural free de-
livery service has been foStered by the Re-
publican party only. The first appropria-
ton made for this purpose was $4,000.

Estimates of Bryan by Former Demo-
erata


Mr.. Bryan is preaching the gospel of
hate; voicing that, he appeals to the en-
viOus, the Disconnected, the improvident,
the incompetent and the unworthy idle.
But worse still, he endeavors to set friend
against friend, neighbOr against neighbor,
family against family, section against sec
ton and nation against nation Don
Dickinson, formerly Df President Cleve-
lands cabinet.
He is man OF hilf-truths-the most
dangerous sort of mar for great response
bilties. And, as might be expected of
such a man, he is responsive to any radi-
calism under the sun He has bright,
lively intellect, but no power of profound
thought, no capacity for deep study, and
no taste for wide reading or experience. He
is unsafe, having no serious gift of states
manship. He was at irst frank and open
and courageous; he now has deteriorated,
and resorts to campaign tricks, unfairness

Everyone was sorry for those people in church
last sunday who were suffering with distressing
cough. A full dose of Downs Elixir on going to

cure the most severe cough. Whenever there is
tickling sensation in the throat take few
drops OF the Elixir on the tongue and let it run
slowly down the throat and immediate relief will
follow. We, the undersigned, druggists, agree to
refund the money IL it does not cure any cough,
