JANET ABERNFTUY.

On Wednesday, Feb. ), 1902, Janet
Abernethy, the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles i. Abernethy, died at the
home of her parents in Bristol.
Miss Abernethy was born in Bristol
June II, 1873, and lived with her parents
there until they removed to Weybridge
in 1889. At the age of II she began
teaching, but later finished her educa-
ton at the Potsdam On. y Normal and
SaXton's River Academy. In 1896 she
taught in large school at Weston, VT,
and the follwing year went to Rhode
Island, where she cotinued her school
work until last June, teaching In Valley
Falls, Providence and Harris. She
began her work in Providence by supply
ing temporary vacancies in the schools,
and at the end of her years work,
although a stranger in the city, she
was granted without examination a
teachers certificate for two years by
State superintendent Stockwell-an hon
or as unusual rs it was unexpected.
At the end of this period the GER
tihcate was renewed for four years
without her solicitation, at the request
of the superintendent of the Providence
schools. Il fact which speaks for Itself for
the character of her work.
During the last year of her teaching
Miss Abernethy's health, never very
robust, gave out; but sustained by her
ambition and energy, she persevered in
her work until the end of the school
year. She was too far exhausted by the
strain to rally with her summers rest, as
she had expected, and suffered IA com
plete nervous collapse early in the fall
From that time her life slowly faded un-
I'll the end. Death came at last as a
release from months of most acute and
painful suffering.
The circumstances surrounding Miss
Abernethy's death make it peculiarly
sad, cut of as she was at the very
threshold of life of happiness and use
funess. She was to have married Mr.
Fred Gddings last fall. Mr.. Giddings
and his brother are in charge of "A large
sugar plantation in Hawaii, and both
brothers expected to come home in the
spring to be married. But 1t was founG
that they could not both leave thu
plantation for so long time, so it was
decided that Miss Abernethy and Miss
Rogers, who was Mr.. Carl Gldding'i
fiance, should go to Ililo, where the
young men expected to meet them
There the double marriage ceremony
was to have taken place. Miss Rogers
home was in Providence, where she anC
Miss Abernetby became Intimate friends
Six weeks before the date set for thei
start for IIio, Miss Abernethy wa
taken seriously i'll. Shortly afterwart
Miss Rogers was taken to the hospital II
Providence for treatment and at presen
is slowly improving, bnt was not abl
10 attend Miss AberDethy's funeral
Wherever she went, Miss Abernethy
by her pluck and happy disposition
made manv friends, who with tn
stricken family will morn her loss. Sh
is survived by her parents and tire
brothers, Carlton, who is In business i
CHICAGO; London. who is attending tn
Medical department of the University o
Vermont, and Barlow, who is at HON
with his parents. X. A. l..

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

FROM w cuneSuhy'- boston journal.
The butter market has developed a firmer
tone, in sympathy with the advance at
other places caused by the temporary stop
page of supplies, but there is no improve
ment in the demand, and, so far rs Boston is
concerned, nobody is really suffering for
stock, Notwithstanding the market falling OIL
in receipts. buyers have been operating in
storage goods to large extent, and the pro
portion OF fresh creamery called for is I'M
usually small. Therefore, while our market
may be reported firm in tone, the amount of
business passing in fresh creamery Is hardly
enough to give a basis for quotations.

reports we may call the market ON fine fresh

doubtful If much could be sold at over Is

OBITUARY..
ALBERT WESTON.

Sunday morning of last week Albeit
Weston was taken very i'll at the home
of his sister, Mrs. r. A. Bingham. A
doctor was called and found him suffer
ing from the same trouble which he had
had twice before. 1t was soon decided
that he could live but short time in
such condition, and 1t was thought best
by his friends, his physicians and with
his full consent he be operated upon. On
Wednesday DR.. B. f. Sutton of Middle
bury, DR.. Charles Howard of Shoreham,
DIR. Z. o. Porter of Cornwall and DR..
Stanton Eddy OF Middlebury made an
examination and found more cause for
anxiety than at first supposed. The ap'
pendiX was IN very bad condition, and
worse complications were brought to
light. 1t was pronounced one of the
worst of cases by even the Older physi-
clans present. He came out from under
the influence of the ether well and for a
little time some hoped for a favorable
outcome, but Friday night the change
came and he continued to grow weaker
until the end at a little past one O'Clock
Saturday, painless and in peace. \
trained nurse was with him through the
whole illness and gave him every care
and attention. Mr.. Weston had passed
his twenty-third birthday, was the
youngest child of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Weston. Kind hearted and pleasant, he
seemed to make friends wherever he
went. lie was favorite with his rela
tives and among his mates, and the large
attendance at the funeral, despite the baC
state of the roads, spoke the esteem anC
affection in which he was held and the
sympathy for the bereaved family called
to part from one of their number under
such painful and trying circumstances
Rev. G.. G. Lumson conducted the eXer
fitting. Rev. S. III. Barnum Offered
prayer, and a quartet, Mrs. G.. G. Lam
son, Miss Sarah Keller, Howard Atwood
and Rollin Keller, sang Nearer My Goo
to Thee" and one other appropriate selec
ton. The floral tributes were beautiful
delicate tinted carnations, creamy callas
azaleas and volets heavy with perfume
and lovely trailing vines covered thu
casket and peeped out from the SAITH
folds. Dear friends and sympathizins
neighbors followed to the cemetery ant
laid the loved one down to rest. One
more has been said "Dust to dust ant
ashes TO ashes, one more home darkene'
by the wing of Deaths angel, anOthe
cut down in his early manhood, leavin;
father, mother, brothers and sisters ant
"a nearer one still
And dearer one"

bring healing to the hearts so sorel

TO THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER
The visit of Prince Henry to our country
brings to my mind pleasant recollec-
ton, to contrast with the ado now being
made by Americans over the German
prince. At hotel in Halifax, n. S., in
which | was living one winter when
stationed at that city, was German
family on their way back to Germany
for short visit. There was the father,
who was a professor in one of the Phila-
delphia colleges, the mother and two
bright bOys-One five years old, the
other three. They occupied a room
across the hall from mine. One morn
ing, when stepped into the hall, these
little fellows were running up and down
filling the hall with the music of happy
boyhood. Watching them for a moment
at their sport, said to the oldest: "lIow
are my little German boys this morn
iug?" He instantly replied 81 amt a
German; | am an American. | was
born in Philadelphia" My heart
crowded up to the choking place,
caught the little fellow up, gave him a
hearty hug and kiss and told him that
was the stuff to make presidents of, and
hoped some day he would be president
Later | met the professor and repeated
the incident. "Yes," he said Al hav,
taught my boys that the proudest name
they can ever hope to receive is that o
an American" c. G. PECK.
