feeling among all classes of people that
Freeland should act in paying to the
dead president the homage and respect
to which his position entitled him.
The authorities of the borough,
believing it their duty to lead in move

The funeral of Mrs. Thomas F. Leonard,
whose death was mentioned in last weeks
CALIFORNIAN, was held at st. Aloysius
church, Friday morning. The services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. A.
Lynch. The service was Indicative of
the high esteem in which Mrs. Leonard
was held by those who knew her best.
The church was filled with sorrowing
friends and the evidence of genuine grief
over the early death of one whose noble
and peculiarly unsel6sh life had endeared
her to all was visible everywhere. The
floral offerings were many and beautiful.
The bearers were M. c. Stenson, John E.
Lynch, Daniel Lynch, and Fred c. Mayo.

Death of Charles E. Clement.

Charles E. Clement, only son of Peter
Clement of Goss Hollow, died at his
home Wednesday of consumption. He
had been in poor health for about a year,
bus was able to work the greater part
of the time until short time before his
death. He was 25 years of age and had
always lived on the home farm. He
chose farming as his life work and di
rected all his energies to making the farm
successful business venture by thr ap
| plication of hard work and successful
business principles. He was married
January Goth, 1901, TO Miss Jennie San
derson of Lyndon. Mr.. Clement was
we'll kno wn in the west part Of the town
and in the surrounding country and here
in St. Johnsbury he had many friends
and acquaintance by whom he was
greatly admired for his quiet gentlemanly
demeanor and sterling business qualities.
The funeral was held at his late home
Friday afternoon. Rev, M, c. Heuder-
son, who but six months before oficiated
at his wedding, conducted the service.
Music was furnished by quartette from
North Danville. Harry Clifford, Herbert
Stanton, Bert Stevens and Clarence
Weeks, acted as bearers. The attend
ance at the funeral was one of the larg-
est ever known in that vicinity and this
together with the long line of carriages
that joined in the funeral procession to
the cemetery at Lyndon Center where the
burial occurred was an eloquent and
silent testimony to the esteem in which
the young man was held. To Mr.. and
Mrs. Clement and the bereaved wife a
host of friends will extend sincere SYM
pathy.

Lake Morey is becoming more and
more favorite resort for St. Johnsbury
people and at present about score OF

feature of the season was set for Satur-

ing gave promise of rainy day and the
event was postponed until Friday even
ing of this week. The programme for
the day includes ball games in the morn
ing and afternoon and in the afternoon
will occur variety of other contests and
field sports. The most enjoyable feature
ofthe occasion will be the illumination OF
cottages and grounds and the procession
of decorated boats around the lake. The
uncertainty of the date oil the event in this
and former years has been detriment in
the way of preparing for the day, but
the committee having the matter in
charge have decided upon the first Tues
day in August as permanent date for
future years.
There are but few of the many noun
tain lakes of New England that equal
Lake Morey for beauty both in itself and
in the country surrounding and each
year brings back it's older friends and
many new ones who soon become as en-
thusiastic as the old.

Woman's Club Meeting.

The meeting of the Woman's Club
Monday was something of an innova-
ton being held during the morning
hours rather than the afternoon as is the
usual custom. A good audience greeted
the speaker, Bliss Perry of the Atlantic
Monthly, and listened with interest to
his lecture on Literary Fashions"
There are whims and fashions in litera-
ture to which not only author and
critics must conform, but the, reading
public as well. Much of the fashionable
literature of the day is due to accident as
was the first historic romance which
happened to strike the public pulse
straightway came deluge of like litera-
ture which has brought to obscure au-
thors literary notoriety which is not
literary fame. There was never a time
when literary notoriety was easier to
gain than at the. present, but Literary
fame is Of slow growth. Hawthorne
was for 13 years an obscure author, as
was Thackeray, Browning and others
Good literature is like good music, en-.
| during. 1t will always find an audience.
Mr.. Perry commended the reading oi
books about books as valuable literary
commentaries.
The literature committee, Mrs. Tit
comb chairman, was instrumental in
giving the club this literary treat.

Reunion of the Seventy Club.

The first meeting of the Seventy Club
for the summer of 1901 was held We'd
nesday with Mrs. Laura G. Stanton at
the residence of her son-in-law, Guy Har-
ris, on Spring street. Twelve regular
and two honorary members were pres
ent. The combined ages of the II men,
bers amounted to 975 years, or an
average of over 81 each. After the pre-
liminary exercises considerable time was
spent in giving personal experiences since
the last meeting in the fall of 1900.
Some by reason of illness were some
what sad, Others were joyous and happy,
but the cheerful and happy countenances
of each member would indicate that il
their experiences were written they
would read like romance. After the
regular business Mrs. Harris invited the
members into the dining room where a
bounteous repast was served. One who
was there says OF the meeting, "If you
could have been present on that occasion
and participated in all the good things
bright sayings and fun, you would be.
gin to count the days that must elapst
before you would become eligible tc
membership in the Seventy Club" The
next meeting of the club will be held with
Mrs. Taegart at 20 Webster street OIL
