Washington last week and they had

her enunciation is not distinct and
her voice peculiarly mutfied, the pres

understand her readily and she knew
what he said by touching his lips with
the tips of her fingers. Mr.. Roosevelt

deprive the rights of others.

Feliste Poloughini an Italian, at
tempted suicide yesterday afternoon
by shooting. He is not expected to

supposed to be the cause. He had
threatened to commit suicide and his
wife had kept his revolver concealed.
Poloughini found it. however, and 60

fired the shot. The bullet entered the
neck and lodged in the base of the

wife and four children.

WILL TRY FOX PARDON.

A movement is being made by mem
bers of the Grand Army to secure
pardon, or parole, for j. Sherman
Caswell who is now doing life SEN
tence in State prison for the murder
of George Gould G. De +. Bancroft
is assisting i'll the matter and large
number of signtures to the petition
have already been secured.
The crime was committed at the W.
S. Cutler farm in East Montpelier on
September 5, 1889. Caswell had been
employed on the farm for twenty two
years and had been a sutton for Miss
Laura Cutters hand. Later her par
ents died and Gould became an en-
ployee on the farm and successful
wooer Of Miss Laura.
On the day preceding the murder,
Gould and Miss Laura were married
and spent that night in Putnamsville.
Caswell, mad with jealousy, lay in
wait, in the second story of the
house, for the home coming of Mr..
and Mrs. Gould. AS Gould was
bringing an armful of wood to the
house Caswell leaned out of the win
dow above and with shot gun, shot
Gould in the face. He died within a
few moments.
Oaswell gave himself up and in due
time was tried, convicted of man
slaughter and given life sentence.
He was forty-six years of age at the
time he committed the crime
He was a member of Company G.,
14th Vermont volunteers, and pen
sioner.
Just before his departure for Wind
sor, he and Mrs. Gould were married
in Jail. He, however, did not assign
his pension to her and afterward she
mde an unsuccessful effort to secure
a divorce. Caswell was wounded at
the battle of Gettysburg and the
wound has never healed, so that at the
present time he is in feeble health

MRS SUSAN SENTER.

At the home of her son, Hon. J. H.
Senter, Mrs. Susan Senter received
her friends on Monday, the day be-
ing the ninety-fourth anniversary of
her birth. Mrs Senter was born in
Cabot September %, 1908. Her father
was John Lyford, the son of Thomas
Lyford, a soldier of the Revolution
Her mother was the daughter of a
soldier in the Continental army and to
Mrs. Senter belongs the honor of be-
ing one of the Oldest living Daughters
of the American Revolution in this
State
Madame Senter comes of long -liv-
ed race, her father, at the time of
his death, lacked but ten days of
ninetyseven years; her mother
reached the age of ninety-seven years
and three months. There were ten
children in her fathers family all
but one having lived to be over
eighty. Madame Senter and sister
are the only surviving members.
Mrs. Senter spent her girl -hood
days in Cabot, coming TO this city in
1928. With the exception of a few
short visits to other parts of the State
she has lived in Montpelier, ever
since At no time has she been alb
sent from here for an entire year.
She has seen Montpelier grow from
small country town to. a bustling
municipality, and remembers when
the entire region east of Main street
was perfect wilderness, within
which lay cedar swamp,
In October, 1927, Mrs Senter mar
ried her first husband, Eusris Hatch,
of Cabot, by whom she had four chill
dren, all of whom are now dead.
December, 1889, she married Mr.. Sen
ter, by whom she had two children,
the elder, soldier in the Civil War,
was killed in battle; the younger is
Hon. John II. Senter with whom she
resides. At one time, Mrs Senter had
four SONS in the army.
Mrs. Senter joined the Free Will
Baptist church at Cabot in her seven
teenth year On coming to Mont
pelier to reside she attended for a
time the meetings of the Methodist
body and later those of the Second
Adventists, though she has never aft
LATED herself with either.
At the reception ON Monday, fifteen
to twenty of the oldest residents of
the city called to pay their respects,
and many "reminiscences of bygone
days were exchanged among these
aged friends.
The late Hiram A. Huse was par
tioular friend of Mrs. Senter and used
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-10-01

to cali on her quite often. On the
occasion of the Presidents visit here,
Mrs. Senter, who was seated in a car
riage watching the procession, waved
her handkerchief to the Nations Exec
utlve. Mr.. Roosevelt, on being told
who she was and her advanced age,
acknowledged her compliment to him
by smilingly bowling to her.
Barring some slight infrmities in
cident to one of her years, Mrs. Sen
ter is a remarkably we'll preserved
lady. She eats and sleeps WELL takes
all active interest in all important
matters and is as bright and keen in
intellect as in her earlier days. That
she may be spared for many years to
come is the sincere wish of all.

A woman can make or mar her at
Effectiveness. She can, by utter disre-
gard of hygienic laws and a neglect
of toilet accessories, in the opinion
of Home Chat, lose entirely that
charm of face and form the nature
obviously intended should be hers.
A few drops of soothing lotion will
transform pair of rough hands into
soft ones; systematic care of the
complexion will keep it smooth and
ward off wrinkles and an eagerness to
read clever books and to know things
and lively interest in the current
events of the day will brighten the
eyes as nothing can, except it be the
sympathy of the man one loves. The
woman possessing this knowledge is
far more charming and attractive than
she in whose path no identifying
whims have ever come. And the wo-
man who applies this knowledge is
the one who will develop into the en-
tertaining, interesting grandmother of
the next generation, as dainty and as
youthful as was the mother of the
past generation. Boston Journal.

Don'ts are sometim es easier to re-
member than dos, so here are a few
to commit to memory, just on the
subject of brooms:
Don't set your broom down on the
brush end Hang it up when not in
use 1t will last twice as long.
Don't use your carpet broom to
sweep the celler and scrub the kitch-
en-. Keep a clean fresh broom for
carpets.
Don't use broom splints to test a
cake. 1t is not a clearly habit, to say
nothing of the danger of getting pois-
oned from the arsenic used to color
the broom.
Don't economize too much in
brooms. A stub broom wears your
carpet, takes more time in sweeping
and tires you out.
Don't sweep with your back. Use
you arms.
Don't forget that your broom needs
an occasional bath. On washing day
before the rinsing tub is emptied
throw little salt in, then "douse"
your bro oms up and down, shake off
the superfiuous water, and set on end
out of doors to dry. The good work
woman is careful of her tools.
