SOUTH NEWFANE.
BENJAMIN &, Morse.

In the death of Benjamin E. Morse
which occurred at Willamsville Friday
April 4, Newfane loses a lifelong resident
who, for many years, bore a prominent
part in the public affairs of town and
neighborhood. Mr.. Morse was born in
Newfane Dec. %, 1916, one of the eleven
children of Ebenezer and Sally Good
now Morse. Besides the deceased this
family included Lawson b., Eliza A., wife
of Deacon Joseph Morse; Mary f., wife of
Joseph w. Dexter Sarah c., wife of
Russell Mason; Ebenezer, now of New
fame. who alone survives; Ashley W., and
Charles f. Morse.
Benjamin f.. Morse married April 2
1910, Mary Ann. daughter of Rev. Phineas
Howe, longtime pastor of Pondville
tnow South Newfane) Baptist church.
She died Feb. T. 1883. NO Mr.. and Mrs.
Morse were born eight children-Helen
L., wife of Capt Harrison Aldrich of
Somerville. Mass. Mary Herbert, Charles,
Phineas c. John T., and two others who
died when young. OF these only Mrs.
Aldrich, Phineas G. of Chicago. and John
f. of South Newfane are now living. Mr..
and Mrs Morse. upon their marriage,
went to live at his fathers home, known
as the Elm Tree farm, now owned by
II. Il. Sparks, at South Newfane Some
years later they built a house in South
Newfane village i'm which the remainder
of their days were spent. After leaving
the farm Mr. Morse was engaged some
time as helper or proprietor in the South
Newfane general store. Afterwards. for
many years. he was justice of the
peace and did most of the conveyance
ing and similar work in his vicinity,
meantime securing "A law library and
using his spare time I'm study. Litigation
in justice courts in Newfane and neigh
boring towns was then much more COM
mon than now. and in these trials Mr..
Morse was almost invariably found as
counsel on one side or the other While
not member of the bar, he was often
pitted against the shining legal lights
of the county in these contests. which
often occupied a day and a night, and
were held in some schoolhouse or hall,
packed to the limit, with interested spec
tators. He was a fluent speaker and
was often successful in carrying his
points, especially in jury trials. For sew
eral years past Mr.. Morse had been In
poor health. although his death came
suddenly The funeral was held in the
South Newfane Baptist church Sunday
afternoon, Rev. ]. II. Lingley officiating.
Benjamin L. Morse. in common with a
large number of the Morse family of
Newfane. had noted ancestry. His
grandfather. DR.. John Morse. one of the
earliest settlers in Newfane, married
Elizabeth Andrews of Boylston, Mass.
July Is. 1746 Elizabeth Andrews was a
descendant of Thomas Dudley and Simon
Bradstreet. both colonial governors of
Massachusetts.

A MoToRMANs HEROIC DEED.

The New York World tells the fol-
lowing story about how motorman.
Axel Jacobsen. by his presence Of mind
saved an aged woman from death.
The lady stood in the street Cars
were bearing down on her In both d.
rections. The sound of the gongs con-
fused her, and she seemed to be UNI
able to move She stood still, Death
seemed certain, But the quick-wltted
motorman reached far out over the
dashboard and drew her safely to the
car platform.
The passengers would shake hands
with him, but he excused himself, with
one hand on the brake and the other on
the motor wheel, he calmly said my
hands are busy
II Is not very often that heroic deeds
Of this nature get into print and be-
come known outside very narrow cir
Giles. And yet, there are many such
performed In this country. They de-
serve to be noticed, Men who have
charge of valuable property, and still
more valuable human lives, should
first Of all be leve-headed, and know
what TO do In all emergencies, and
there are a great many such in various
positions In this country, They are the
| hind that o,tcgeaI In xuhafavap thay IN
| dertake to do.

The only university of high rank
where unrestricted co-education seems
to have proved a success is Ann Arbor.
But conditions at the Michigan institu-
tion are wholly different from those pre-
vailing at the Northwestern or at the
University Of Chicago. At Ann Arbor
there Is no segregation of the sexes.
There are no dormitories for men nor
halls for women, but all students room
where they please in the town and are
placed on equality Of privilege. Such a
plan would be impracticable In large
city or even In small city like Evans
ton. At the same time the segregation
Of the sexes as to halls, dormltorles and
campus, and even in the classroom,
seems like a travesty upon co-educatlon.
It's adoption at the University OF Chca-
go will give the ambitious institution
still more Of the midway character
with which Its site is historically as
ISOLATED.
