OBITUARY
TYLER NEWTON

Tyler Newton, for ten years janitoI
of the Worcester High School and well
known to all students of the sos, died
yesterday morning Of pneumonia at
his home, rs Laurel Street. Mr.. Newton
was born in Leeds, Me, Aug. 3, 1880.
| His home being in the midst OF the
| lumber region it was natural that he
should be brought up in that business.
| His early days were spent working in
various saw mills and finally he ran a
| mill of his own. He continued at TINS
business till the Civil War broke out
when he Joined the Second Maine Bat
! terry and served till the close of the
war. This battery was the one that
opened the battle of Gettysburg but
Mr.. Newton was not present, being
sick in the hospital at that time. He
was wounded several times.
After the war he went back to his
mill in Maine but sold out ana came
to Worcester in 1870. He worked first
for the Charles Baker Company. In
1884 he was appointed janitor Of the
High School on Walnut Street and held
that position for nearly 10 years. He
then worked for Darling Brothers
short time when his health failing he
was obliged to give up work.
In the summers he spent most of his
time in Sterling and Westminster. 1t
was in the latter place that ms dog
Jock" which every High School pupil
of the SOS will remember, died while
pointing at a partridge Mr.. Newton's
father Emory, was a native of Spen-
Ger and his mother of Lynn. He had
Revolutionary ancestry.
He married first Ellen Lane of Fay
cite. Me. She and her younger boy
died in 1872, leaving a daughter, now
Mrs. Henry L. Reyes of West Street
and a son, Louville, of Brattleboro, Vt.
In 1876 he was married again to Mrs.
Evie, widow of Richard Clemence. She
survives him. Her children always re-
garded him as father. They are Mrs.
George r. Kennedy, Mrs. Harry w.
Marsh, George H. and Charles r.
Clemence.
Mr.. Newton also leaves a brother
Elias NJ, of Britain Lane, and
sister. Mrs. Mary A. Hinkley of 101
Austin Street. He had a brother Sam
ueI NJ. who served in the navy during
the war and died several years ago in
Brookfield.
Mr.. Newton spent last summer in
Westminster and on his return accom-
panied his son-in-law, Mr. Keyes, to
Cape Cod on a hunting trip. The
weather was quite cold and may have
induced the chill which caused pneu-
monia.
There is not a pupil of the High
School in hi day who viii not remem-
Der him with more than ordinary af-
lection. The funeral will be Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock.

Somewhat Too Open Confession.

A peculiar state of affairs exisists in
a town ON the Brlingtonrailroad north
of Sioux Falls, It appears that promi-
nent evangelist visited the town and
had wonderful success in securing new
converts. Among those reclaimed was
noted female character Of the town.
The woman was in dead earnest, and
the church memebers considered her
conversion one Of the chief events of
the revival meetings.
This proved to be so, but not in the
way expected. At one of the meetings
after the woman had renounced her
former ways and declared her purpose
to start life anew, the minister took
occasion to remind the class of converts
that an open confession was good for
the soul. The woman in question,
taking the evangelist at his word, pro-
ceeded ia "cut loose" in n manner that
has rent the town asunder.
The woman told of her many sins
and implicated a dozen or fifteen of the
leading citizens. The married women
of the congregation, who at first had
listened listlessly to her story, sudden
ly became deeply interested, and began
a more systematic line of investigation
as to further corroboratiye details. As
a result of this particular instance Of
open confession being good for the soul
an editor, banker and several promi-
nent merchants are the defendants in
suits in the divorce courts or are about
to be.-Minneapolis Times.

The awful astounding consideration

translated out of the powers of dark

Senator Teller said of the Filipino
petition, presented by him, which he
wishes to have printed as public docu-
mont, and which Is now in the hands
of the senate committee on the Philip
pines: "My Filipino petition repre-
sents what might be called the great
middle class of the Philippine islands.
1t is no protest from the national Fill
pino government. There is not in the
list of 1000 and more names that OF
one office holder under the Filipino
government. No one can charge that
the document emanates from Aguinaldo
or bis followers. 1t is q sincere and un-
biased protest from the business men
and respectable citizens of the island
against the treatment they are receiv-
ing from the U. s., and it is IN the ma
ture of a petition for redress, / con-
slider that in its way it Is one of the
most CONCLUSIVE documents that has
yet been put in the hands of the Amer
lean people. II is the last word from
the main body of educated business
like Filipinos. The original document
was, of course, in Spanish. 1t was de-
livered to me by Inestizo, himself a
most brilliant specimen Of the we'll
educated half Spanish aud half Filipi-

been carefully translated, and every
