BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
SUIT FOR $4,000.
Assistant Supervisor at the Retreat is
the Defendant.

Freeland Smith, the PIaintIH,Is Also Pee
tItIoner For DIvorce---PeUes and Mrs.
Smith Were In Room in Retting
Block.
John A. Pettee, assistant supervisor at
the Brattleboro Retreat, is the defendant
in a suit for $4,000 for criminal CONVEX
sation, and Freeland E. Smith of Forest
street, who is also employed at the Re-
treat, is the petitioner for a divorce. This
status was brought about by circumstances
which eliminated in the arrest of Pettee
Friday night by Chief of Police Hall. On
that night Mrs. Smith stated to her hus-
band that she had been invited by wom-
an friend, whom she named, to attend
performance in the Auditorium, and Mr..
Smith consented to take care of the chill
dren, one and four years old, during her
absence After she had gone Mr.. Smith
asked a neighbor to stay with the children
while he went down town. He soon
learned from the friend whom his wife
mentioned that the story about the invita-
ton to the show was false. He also learn
ed that Pettee had been seen about the
Retting block, and that man answering
Pettee's description had hired a room in
the building, claiming that he was a Bos-
ton commercial man and would occupy
the room twice a week. With this infor-
nation Mr. Smith got Chief of Police
Hall and went up to the room, where they
found Pettee and Mrs. Smith under cir
cumstances which justified Mr.. Hall in
making the arrest Pettee was placed in
the lookup, and on Saturday Smith
brought suit against him through Lawyer
c. G. Fits, and filed a petition for divorce.
Pettee has a wife in Brandon. His father
came to Brattleboro Monday an Pettee at
once began an effort to secure bail, which
is fixed at $4,000
Pettee secured the required amount of
bail Wednesday and was released. He re-
turned to Brandon with his father,

KIpIlng to Gree, Cecil Rhodes.

The news that Rudyard Kipling and his
family are going to South Africa came as
surprise and is facetiously attributed to
the fact that they have been driven out of
England by the ceaseless jangling in music
and Rotations of his "Absent- Minded
Beggar" A representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press learns that the real reason
which has prompted Mr.. Kipling to go
abroad is his desire to be sin at the
death" He is especially DESTROYS of meet
ing Cecil Rhodes, with whom he is on
terms of close friendship, Immediately
after the relief of Kimberley. Moreover,
Mr.. Kipling will utilize his trip in gather
ing good literary material. But he will
not unnecessarily risk his safety, as he in.
tends to stay at Cape Town until the con-
ditions at the front assume a more pacific
aspect. One report says that Kipling was
ordered to go TO South Africa after an
attack OF grip, as it was feared that he
might become victim of consumption if
he remained in England.

Service In Memory OF Dorman b. Eaton


A service in memory of Dorman B
Eaton was held in Ali Souls church in
New York, Sunday afternoon. 1t was a
worthy tribute TO man who devoted great
abilities to the service of all the people.
and was naturally only recognized at his
value by the few. The witness 20 his i'm.
portance was emphatic. DIR. Stephen
Smith, expert in sanitary regulations, told
how the sanitary laws of almost every CITY
in the United States were based upon the
scheme ofthe health laws which Mr.. Eaton
drafted for New York city, and which
were enacted by the legislature in 1865.
Under these laws the Metropolitan board
of health was organized, and through their
operation the death-rate of the CITY had
greatly decreased. Mr.. Eaton, said DR..
Smith, was afterward instrumental in re-
organizing the fire department and Great
ing the dock department. Carl Schurz
spoke in his eloquent way of Mr.. Eaton's
work for civil service reform, for it was he
who drew up the first bill which was passed
by Congress, and thus he became "the ar
chitect of civil-service reform legislation in
the United States" Said Mr.. Schurz:
There was no suspicion of selfish mo-
tives in his public service. He never asked
himself whether he would receive sufficient
public credit for his services for the good
OF the community. He always thoroughly
and faithfully did the work which fell to
his lot, inquiring not how he could make
himself most conspicuous, but how he
could make himself mos. useful. He was
the true model of an American citizen -

and printed for him at Brattleboro. The
historical part is very brief and adds moth
ing to what is already known concerning
the early history of the town. The make,
up and the illustrations so far as thew 90
are very good. There is an excellent mic.
ture of the town hall, the mills of Halle
Frost d Co. and @. j. Amidon & Son. the
exterior and interior of the plant of the
Worden company, three of the churches
views OF the village and private residences,
including the old colonial Liscom mansion
built in 1865, and many half-tone pictures
OF subscribers to the work. We fail To
lind the Catholic church, by far the finest
In town, and several other mills and public
buildings which would have added com
pleteness to the work. The biographical
sketches of subscribers to this work of art
are carelessly put together and abound in
errors. Names are incorrectly given, par.
ents are credited with children thew never
had, sons are transformed into daughters
and there are errors enough to make the
sketches totally untrustworthy as histori-
cal record. A good deal of this might have
been avoided if the author had taken pains
to send aproof of the biographical sketches
to subscribers before publication. -THins.
