Pref. Shspardson 50 Deslgnates
the Boston Tea Party,
AN ECHO OF THE REVOLUTION.
Uprising Of the Patriots Is Described as an
Act Of Mob Violence Through Which
Private Property Was Destroyed.

&. cago, oct. 27.-"rhe University Of
Chicago founded by John ID. Rockefel-
ler," as the letterheads OF the institu-
tion officially put il. has still another
professor who does not believe in hiding
his light OF originality under The bushel
OF conservatism.
He is the third In this list TO let himself
loose I'm the classroom within two weeks
The first was Prof. Oscar l.. TWiggs,
who solemHly- -assnren- his class In liter
ture that John ID. Rockefeller was a
greater man than Shakespeare. Homer
or Dante.
THIS ONE USED SLANG.
Then up popped Prof Oliver J. Thatch-
er, who essayed to give vitality to medi-
aeval history by clothing his discourses
In Chicago slang.
Now comes Prof. Shepardson, of the
American History Department, who
traces the cause of the present-day mob
violence in this country back 10 the Bos-
ton tea party. Said Prof. Shepardson to
his class Wednesday:
What is the reason that citizens of
this country who are normally law-abid-
ing sometimes become fends when irri-
tated, and instead OF letting the law
take its course, punish an offending fell
low-man by painting his body, or, still
worse. by lynching him?
you will note I'm your study that this
American lawlessness is a remnant of
the Revolution. The Boston tea party
was an act of mob violence.
THEY WERE PATRIOTS, But
''Alind you. I'm not saying that this was
not an important event i'm Fastening our
independence, but IL was an act of mob
violence. in which the mob destroyed
private property.
This is what you will find on careful
study TO be a fact about the men I'm Bos-
fathers of the Revolution.
Another reason for mob violence is the
idea that the people are sovereign there
fore. II 1000 OF us. the people. get togeth-
or and lynch man. why, the act comes
from the sovereign"

OBITUARY..
MRS. HANNAH MABRY.

"Of no disorder. o. no beast she died.
But fel ike autumn fruit that mellowed long. !"
Mrs. Hannah Mabry died in Turner,
Me-, Aug. ~, aged "a years, 3 months,
- days. She was born In Dover, y. H.,
being the second Of twelve children. She
came 70 Hiram in lSl7, with her parents,
Jesse and Abigail kimball. She was
married Dec. 81, lS23, 20 Mr.. Thomas
Msbry, q prominent and worthy citizen,
who died in Hiram, Feb. Is, lss5. She
then resided some time with her son, Mr.
Roysl A. Msbry, in East Hiram; then
went 20 live with her eldest son, Rev
Madison h. Msbry, with whom she re-
manned till her decease. She had resided
In Hiram nearly, or quite, seventy years,
blessing sll who knew her by her spot
less example, and her life Of usefulness
and devotion to others. Hers was
practical Christian life-such as the
world too seldom sees. Erect as g
youth, active and cheerful, she retained
an interest in the work Of the farm, the
home and the church, as well IS the
affairs OF the town, state and nation, and
the world st large. She died Of no eom-
plant. For more than four score and
ten years she had obeyed the laws Of na-
ture, hence her physical system had no
cause 70 complain. She was lady Of
uncommon intellect, and great reader,
the Bible being her fsvorite, and no per-
son could remain in her presence an hour
without being impressed by her pure,
sanity and eonsecrsted life, and her
lofty, unfsltering trust and confidence
in God.
On the morning of her death she took
bath before breakfast, appearing as
well as usual, and had nearly dressed
herself, and sat on the bed with her
stockings In her hands, when "Softly
and swiftly, Ike shadow thrown from
some passing cloud, death fell upon
her." She WAS a loyal wife, loving
mother, q ministering spirit in the days
Of distress and sorrow, and q peace
maker in her community, and her chill
dren, grandchildren and great-grand-
children rise up and call her blessed
Funeral services were held at Turner by
the Methodist, Congregstionalist and
Universalist pastors, and her remains
were brought 70 4. Hiram for burial with
her Kindred. Public services were held
at East Hiram Methodist church. and
were attended by many persons, espe-
cially by our aged citizens, whose earli-
est recollections linger a.ound the pleas

East Hebron SAYS that "many wells that
were dry last autumn have had q supply
OF water this season. while about here
the case has been quite different. One
man told Us the other day that his well,
which had been known In the family for
eighty years, was then dry for the first
time.
Near by small stream crosses the

few rods away. During the twenty five
years we have lived here that stres N
never ceased TO flow for a moment, until
shout three weeks ago, when IL stopped
entirely during the dsy, but would be
found running q little In the morning,
thus forming an intermittent spring. At
present the amount OF water discharged
Is about what would now through a

o. G.. whitman has had an unusual
amount Of sickness and other trouble In
his family OF late. He WAS nearly blind
from diseased eyes for seversl weeks,
but Ia now out again and able TO do
some work. Nearly six weeks ago his
son Marshall cut his ankle so that even
now, although the wound is mostly
healed, he can travel but few steps on

mer his only daughter, Bessie, Was taken
with whooping cough, and although her
spssms OF coughing are less frequent,
they are nearly as violent as ever. His
yesr old baby has been sick nearly all
summer, and recently the doctor inform

chance for his recovery.

The fair passed OF quietly. A good
display Of fruit in the ball was the lead
ing feature, although the cattle pens
were very well filled. Some fine sheep
aud horses were exhibited, which shows
that the farmers are alive to the best
interests Of their profession. The races
were very good, but not very exciting.
The victusling saloons were well pat
roniEed and did good business. Every
body was filled and happy, for the ladies
Of And0ver excel 10 getting up good
dinner. The usual number OF fruit veud-
ers were on the ground and report q
thriving business. About the usual
number were on the grounds 40 In
former years. Although the last day
WAS rainy all seemed to enjoy them
selves.
The dance on both evenings was we'll
attended. Aout eighty couples joined
the march. Music by the Livermore

music.
