the home of his son-in-law, Charles II.
Fish, here to-day. He was s~eventy-three
years old. He had been i'll since the death

Person Colby Cheney was born in Holder
ness. now Ashland, n. H., on Feb. %, 1928.
In 1886 his father. one of the pioneers in the

Peterborough, where he purchased a small
mill. 1t was in this mill. in the schools Of
Peterborough. in Hancock Academy, and in
Parsonfeld, Me-, Seminary that young

training. At the age of seventeen he was
placed in charge of the paper-making es-
tablishment, which had been purchased of
his father, and succeeded so well that in
eight years. in company with two other
gentlemen, he built another mill, of which
subsequently, he became the sole proprietor.

OF paper stock. though he did not alto
gether relinquish the manufacturing bust
ness. He served in the civil war as brigade
commissary. After the war he was elected

ident Harrison appointed him minister to

was q member of the Republican national
committee from 1892, and from its organiza-
ton, in 1914, until his death, was president

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Large and Great Interest
mt the State Meeting.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. June 19.-The in
terest at the meetings of the state Sunday
school convention is growing as the hours
progress. This morning the session began
with a sunrise prayer meeting, as there
had been a sunset meeting in the public
square last night. The early conferences
at the different churches of the city at $50
attracted a large attendance. Mrs. Mary
Mitchell, of Iowa, declared that the nine
teenth century was called 'the woman's
century and the twentieth should be
called 1.-The children's century, The sec
ton on home departments was led by
Mrs. G. ID. Meigs. The work of the graded
Sunday schools was taken up in the after
noon and the annual graduation address
was delivered by DIR. Chapman, followed
by the presentation of diplomas TO a large
class. Prof. b.. o. Excel, the noted author
of Sunday school music. has charge of the
music of the convention, which is fur
nished by a choir of one hundred voices.
1t was the intention of the convention
managers to have popular services In the
open square each evening, and last night
about 1000 people assembled. The city adj
ministration has offered the convention no
protection, and last night and tonight the
services were broken up by the playing of
a show band which is here. No attention
was paid by the city authorities TO a re-
quest to keep the band off the public square
during the service.
In the evening an address was delivered
by w. c.. Pearce. Seventy-one counties
have delegates in attendance, and the re-
ports show it the largest meeting of the
convention since its organization. This is
the state auxiliary of the international as
ISOLATION. which includes 100000 of mem
bers. The treasurer reports enough money
on hand 10 pay all expenses, which never
has been the case before. The convention
Will last one more day and has much in
