DISTRICT NO. 6.
Death of Mrs. Nora Taft Pratt.

The people of this vicinity were
much saddened when they heard that
Mrs. Nora Taft Pratt had passed away
last Sunday in Pasadena, Calf, where
she went a few months ago, hoping her
health would be improved by a change
of climate. She was too i'll to receive
any benefit, and gradually grew
weaker until the end came. Mrs. Pratt
was born in this town Oct. 20. 1861,
daughter of Isaac B. and Hattie Taft
She showed in early life a great fond
ness for study, her bright mind readily
graspng difficult things. She was ed
ucated in the public schools in this
town, and in the Westfield. Mass, nor
NAL school, where she graduated. Mrs
Pratt taught school with great success
for six years in this town. and for four
years in West Newton. Mass. Her
winning ways and aptitude for teach
ing endeared her to her scholars. Fail
ing health compelled her to leave her
native state and make her home in
Norfolk, Neb., where her brother, Burr.
now lives. She taught school in Nor
folk two years, and there married
Almon d. Pratt of that town. Con
sumption was the cause of Mrs Pratt'S
death Every effort was made for her
recovery that loving care and medical
science could do. Her friends are very
sorrOwful that one so gifted and so
well calculated to do much good and to
enjoy life should be taken from her
family and friends.
MIS-. Pratt was woman Of strong
convictions of duty, and courage to
carry them out. always ready to defend
the right, a most loving and dutiful
daughter, sister and friend. Mrs
Pratt leaves besides her husband a
daughter, Christobel nine months old
both of whom were with her in Cali
fornia; a mother, Mrs. l. b. Taft. Of
this town, brothers, John, of West
DummerstOn, Burr, of Norfolk Neb.
and Guy, of this town. Mrs. Taft re-
ceived a letter written by her daugh-
ter the same day the telegram came
announcing her death. The blow falls
heavily upon the mother. who is in
feeble health. Mrs. Taft has buried
within two and a half years her son,
Frank, her husband, and now this
daughter.

BRATTLEB0RO LOCAL NEWS.

that he usually left the house at
O'Clock in the evening to begin work,
and was due TO return at o'clock in
the morning, but that the train often
was late He said that while off duty
he spent several hours day at home.
In his argument Lawyer Barber
said to the court that if there was no
fire in the house when Dr. Lynch was
called in attendance at the birth Of
the child. Or. Lynch was under
both moral and legal obligation to
notify the authorities or to see
that a fire was made. and could
not escape sharing the responsibility
if there was any criminal neg
ligence. He argued that while the
house was not as bountifully supplied
as some other homes in Brattleboro.
there was at hand fuel and provisions
sufficient to prevent the reported con
dition of things. and that If Mrs. Gar
rity had money i'm the bank she was
under obligation to use it in making
the child comfortable if she could not
obtain necessary comforts in any
other way He discredited the story
about there being no fire in the house.
Lawyer Hooker argued that the
evidence introduced was sufficient to
show that a deplOrable condition Of
affairs existed at the Clarity house,
and he made a strong point in using
Garrity's testimony to the effect that
he was in the house several hours Il
day. as showing that Clarity must
have known and realized that he was
not providing his wife and child such
protection as their condition demand.
cd He held that the evidence made it
plain that Clarity was guilty of ne
glect. no matter what others might
be guilty Of and that he should be
held for the grand jury. The court
took this view of the case and placed
Clarity under bonds in the sum of
$500 Being unable to furnish bail
Clarity was taken to Newfane Jail
Monday morning by Chief-ofPolice
Hall.
There seems to he no question that
a shocking condition of affairs has cN-
listed at the Clarity house, but just
where the responsibility lies for the
neglect of the child remains for the
grand jury to determine Clarity and
his wife both are lacking mentally.
which may account in a measure for
the child's neglect. Clarity is a drink
| ing man and on one occasion, when he
was fined for intoXication, Mrs. Gar
| rity, before they were married, paid
his fine. 1t has been reported to the
Associated Charities that Mrs. CARR
ty having a scant supply of clothing
for the baby, would wash its clothes
and put them back upon the baby be
| fore they were dry.
These things shock the sensibilities
of civilized community. In the
name of a common humanity it must
be said that if the conditions had been
brought to the attention of the au-
thorities, or of the Associated Chart
ties or of almost any responsible per
son, they would not have been allowed
to continue for a days time.

Editor Vermont Phoenix. Brattlehoro. VI.
Dear Sir: Under the head Of Y. NJ. G. y.
notes In Your issue of Jan. 10th mention
was made of many generous gifts to the
association building fund. I read those
lines with interest and thanksgiving. but
failed To- find mention OF gift that was
made while | was serving your people as
their general secretary, and | am sure
it was the first dollar paid for the build
Ing fund. and 1t was paid to the board of
directors at one of their regular meetings
and placed on record by the secretary.
One bright morning a widow. Mrs.
Iiouehton Adrich, came to the rooms
and after expressing her interest In the
association work. she placed in my hands
bright. clean two-dolar bill, saying, 1t
is but little ! can do but ! have been
saving this by little for a long time, and
! now desire to give this as n thank
Offering for what the association has
been To my son and family" The gift
tuuched my heart. and | could not take

and struggle Of that mother love She
finally prevailed upon me to take IT, say
ing God knew she wished it was more
hut ii would buy "A few bricks. | have
often thought of that two dollars. and 1
believe God knows the number of bricks
they will buy and will watch where they
are put and some time the tears and

George Briggs Of Lanedon Sentenced
to States Prison for Life.

The jurWwhich had considered the Ques-
ton of the guilt or innocence of George
H. Briggs, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Florence Jones of Langdon, reported
Il disagreement at Newport Saturday, af-
ter having been out nearly two days
The counsel for the prisoner then stated
that his client was ready to retract his
former plea of not guilty. and entered "A
plea of guilty to murder i'm the second
degree. The change of plea was formally
made and Judge Wallace sentenced Briggs
to state prison at Concord for the rest of
his natural life. Briggs broke down when
the sentence was read, as did his wife and
children, who were present in the court
room.
Counsel Parker, for the prisoner, adj
dressed the court and said that he felt
that the trial had been conducted fairly.
ana that all had been brought that could
be, even if a new trial was ordered. He
announced the willingness of Briggs to
accept life sentence and asked for the
clemency of the court. State Attorney
Eastman accepted the plea, as he felt
that a new trial would bring out no new
facts.

Four Days to Europe.

To clip from "a to SO hours from the
record time for crossing the Atlantic
is the promise of the New York and
European steamship company. a new
transatlantic line which offers assur-
RANGES of an early fulfillment of its
pledge says the New York Tribune.
This company, which has already ap-
piled for pier privileges in New York
and has formulated the larger part of
its plans. expects. by the substitution
of the turbine engine for that now in
use. to secure a constant speed of 80
knots an hour in its new boats. Such
a speed will mean that passengers can
be carried from this country to Europe
in little more than four days. The
success that has attended the use of
the turbine engine in Europe and es-
pecially the remarkable speed that has
been secured thereby has naturally
raised the question as to its adapt
ability for transatlantic steamers.

Close of Evangelist Davidson's Work.

The series of evangelistiC services
conducted by Rev Z. +. Davidson end
ed Wednesday night with a sermon
upon the text. The summer is past.
the harvest is ended and we are not
saved" Despite the bad walking the
floor and first gallery of the Baptist
church were filled and a larger num-
Der were in the upper gallery. Mr..
Davidson spoke to those who had been
attending the meetings. but had not
been quickened in this particular spir-
itual harvest, and at the close of his
sermon a larger number of people
came forward to the inquirers' class
than on any previous evening.
The last week has shown a greatly
increased religious interest, as marked
by larger congregations and the ear
nest spirit of those in attendance.
Sunday night the Baptist church held
an audience larger than has ever be-
fore. save twice. gathered in it. Both
galleries and the chapel We're filled by
a congregation that numbered about
a thousand. a large number have at
tended the week night services. Mr..
Davidson's work has been successful
beyond expectations of those who
were most anxious to have him come
to Brattleboro. Many came forward
to the inquirers classes. and there
have been more men than women.
1t has been mems revival. The
evangelist and those who have been
most active in the meetings are not
carried away by the fact that so large
number have come into the inquir
ers' classes, but are deeply thankful
that so many of those who have come
manifest great earnestness. and show
resolve to go in the way that they
have begun. Scarcely less important
are the results that cannot be even
approximately tabulated in the deep
ened tone of religious thought and
feeling through the community.
II remains for the churches to carry
on the work that has been begun. so
that the present interest may be
step toward lasting betterment of the
religious work and life Of BrattlebOro
The union services of Sunday will be
continued; that for young people in
the Methodist church Sunday after
moons at o'clock. and also the union
evening service. The latter will be in
the congregational church next Sun
day. and Dr. j. NJ. Gray. who preached
at the service there Dec %. will be
the preacher.
The executive committee reported
last night that the Sunday evening
collections had met all the incidental
expenses of the meetings, and thanks
were expressed to the street railway
for permission to hang advertisements
on the cars. and to the press for the
space given to reports of the services.
The chorus choir, which has been
faithful in attendance. and done eX-
cellent service, was also thanked. and
a very generous thank Offering was
given to Mr.. Davidson for his services.
He goes away leaving the community
his debtor. His methods have been
judicious and quiet. He has always
put himself in the background. and
his sincerity and Christian spirit are
his power. He has won the respect
of all and the affection of many who
hope for his presence here again.
