| Mrs. Emily (Carleton), widow OF the
/ late Robert s. Howard, died at Woodstock
| Friday and the remains were brought here
Saturday by her nephew, Wales n. john
son, for interment in Southview cemetery
| by the side of her husband. She was Y
years OF age and left no children. For
many years she lived in Holyoke, Mass,
where Mr.. Howard held responsible po-
| sition in Parsons paper mill, the largest
/ letter paper establishment In the world at
/ that time. For several years they spent
! part OF the summers here ut the home OF
4 Mr.. Howardis brother, Deacon w. +.
Howard, and upon the failure of Mr.. Rob
ert Towards health, they came again to
| Randolph and staid until his death In
| 1876. Mrs. Howard then went to Wood
stock to live with sister, now deceased
and finally spent her declining years
among relatives in that place. The funeral
service was held at Woodstock, and prayer
at the grave was offered by Rev. u. h.
Ladd, pastor of the Congl church.
Rev. w. F. Armstrong OF Rangoon,
Burmah, a missionary of the American
/ Baptist Missionary union, spoke IN be-
/ half OF his work at the Baptist church last
Thursday evening. He has been 30 years
/ in India and his remarks were very inter-
esting Rangoon is a city OF 2oO,O0O peo-
pie and has many modern conveniences
I under the British government. The prov
ince Of Burmah is the largest OF PARTNER
India and numbers seven millions OF peo-
pie. Mr.. Armstrong said many think
! these people innocent children OF nature,
but they are keen and acute and know and
acknowledge the falsity and deceitfulness
| OF their religious rites and ceremonies.
The Burmans are higher class than some
Others in India and make excellent con-
verts to Christianity. Mr.. Armstrong
made a strong plea for the work and the
workers, speaking from the moral ana
. spiritual side rather than from the de-
scriptiye. He also spoke TO an excellent
audience on Friday evening at the Baptist
I church in Braintree. He read and asked
the pastor to sing the beautiful hymn, I'm
the Secret Of His Presence" as poetic
product Of a recent convert to Christianity
In India, Ellen Lakshimi Goreh.
Radical steps, it is understood, are to
be taken to reduce the size OF the crowd
that now gathers at the depot TO greet
the arrival and speed the departure OF
every train from S:12 in the morning
until 7:20 in the evening. When ldenti-
cally the same people appear at the station
| six times a day week in and week out
/ without ever going anywhere or meeting
anybody in particular, and without any
ostensible business as an excuse for sueh
devoted attendance, the railroad officials
are perhaps justified in enforcing regu-
lation that permits only those having
business there to hang around the depot.
As things are at present the platform
| looks like mass meeting OF some klnu,
and the surging multitude almost pre-
vents the passengers who really want 70
get off here from leaving the train. II is
really necessary sometimes for them 70
/ hunt for place to alight safely and then
they have fairly to force their way
through swarm OF children and people,
more or less young, who find peculiar
fascination in seeing the cars come IN
n gentle hint is not sufficient to break
1 up this depot habit on the part OF the
most constant attendants on trains, the
station agent is prepared TO resort TO
legal measures for the accomplishment
of this praiseworthy end.
"Unregenerate orientals," says an ex-
change. "who were looking for the true

the streets of Montpelier tied with a rope,
