Death of Deacon HoIbrook.

Deacon Roswell Holbrook. who has been
sick all winter with a complication OF
diseases, died on Wednesday, the I'd, at
1920 a. m. He had asked TO be dressed
and was standing by the bedside when he
fell over dead upon the bed.
Although not unexpected, yet his death
viii bring true sorrow to very many of the
citizens Of Randolph and the members of
all the churches.
Deacon Holbrook was born in Stratford.
n. H., July 25, 1910. Fully 30 years Of his
life was spent in Randolph and he was a
familiar figure about town. He was mar
ried twice, first to Melinda Dyke, daugh-
ter Of David Dyke of Rochester, in 1866,
and second to Mary NJ. Tilson, daughter
OF Edmund Tilson in 1887, who survives
him, There were three children by the
first marriage, Rose, Arab and Cora, one
of whom. Rose. died ia 1880.
Mr.. Holbrook has been deacon Of the
Baptist church since its organization in
1877, and his labors in its behalf can never
be measured here. He was a most staunch
Christian man. who had no enemies, but a
host Of friends, a true patriot and citizen,
loving father and husband and one who
supremely loved the church that must
miss his constant helpfulness.
Deacon Holbrook was possessed Of unus-
ual physical strength and many anecdotes
are told Of his hard days work. and some

But he never spared his strength and was
always willing to lend helping hand to
his fullest extent.

celled by few. He enlisted at Stratford,

Ills Chief JUDGE Bowel.

/ Gov. Stickney yesterday announced the
appointments made necessary to fiji the
! vacancies caused by the death of Chief
| Judge Taft Of the Vermont supreme court
! bench. Hon. John w .Rowell OF Randolph,
| first assistant judge, is promoted to the
chief judgeship. Hon. Seneca Haselton of
Burlington is the new judge added to the
! bench.
Judge Rowell was born in Lebanon, y.
H., in 1885. He studied at the West Ran
doph Academy, but his plans to take a
college course miscarried and he studied
law first with ex-Lieut.-Gov. Kidder and
later with Judge Weston. He attended a
law college at Poland, O. In 1858, be was
admitted to the Orange county bar and
formed partnership with John B.Hutch-
inson. This was dissolved in 1865. After
brief stay in Chicago, Mr.. Rowell return
ed to Randolph in 1871 and resumed legal
practice, becoming one OF the leading at
torneys Of Eastern Vermont. He was
states attorney in 90 and 49, and there
after assisted IN most OF the important
cases Of the county. In ~. Mr.. Rowell
became reporter of the decisions of the
supreme court, holding this place for
eight years. In 1882, Mr.. Rowell was APP
pointed sixth assistant judge of the su-
preme court by Gov. Farnham, and has
been reelected biennially since, being adj
vanced in order as vacancies occurred
Judge Rowell is regarded as having one of
the best legal minds that the state has
ever summoned to the bench.
Besides his prominence in the law, Mr..
Rowell has represented his town in the
House and his county in the Senate. The
new Judge Hazelton is 81 years of age and
has been very prominent and popular in
public life. He is the only Democrat that
has been on the bench for some years. He
has been mayor Of Burlington, candidate
for governor and minister to Venezuela
under Cleveland. He has been court re-
porter for several years and is considered
very well qualified for the place to which
he is now called.

THAT SETTLED HIM.
A Statesman's Happy Method of Dis.
posing of Troublesome
Place Hunters.


A celebrated statesman had happy
way of Kidding himself of applicants
for diplomatic and other posts. The
son Of an old friend called upon him
one day to bespeak his influence in
getting him an important embassy,
relates London Tit-Bits.

tioning his visitor to a chair, 81 am

Griswold was struck dumb with
this fresh proof of the extreme mar
rOwness of the world, and wondered
what would happen if cambridge
should perchance come again and
find him in Wahaska. He changed
the subject with a violent wrench,
and said:
"The new opera house is to be
opened next week. 1 wonder if the
company viii be worth going to

Haven't you heard that Mr.. Grier-
son is to import it especially for this
occasion?"

MAY I call for you and your ia
ther?" She gave him permission,
and after that the tete-a-tete passed
to other things; to a gay party
steaming past in a lighted launch,
for one.
"Is that the hotel launch?' he
asked.
mo, indeed; you are quite behind
the times. That is Mr.. Grierson's
boat with party from Mereside."
The Farnham lawn sloped quickly
to the watsrside, and the launch was
steaming slowly along within a
stones throw of the group on the
veranda. The little steamer carried
its own dynamo, and was ablaze with
electric lights. Griswold saw the
party as it passed in review; saw
Miss Grierson at the wheel in the
bow, and saw the banker lounging
in the stern sheets. With the ex-
ception of her father and one other
Miss Grierson's guests were all
young people; but Griswold caught
his breath when he recognized the
portly figure sitting erect beside the
banker. Truly, he had seen the
clean-shaven face with its long up
per lip but once, but that once Was
enough. 1t was Mr.. Andrew Gal
braith.

CHAPTER XVIII.

After all, it was Raymer who was
responsible for Griswold's introduce
ton to Charlotte and her aunt. 1t
was after the partnership silent
partnership by Griswold's express
condition-had been formed and
Griswold had been taken into the
Raymer household as well as into
the Raymer firm.
1t was thus that he found him
self included in a family invitation
to the doctors, and it was thus that
Raymer became his sponsor. Not
that a sponsor was greatly needed.
The good doctor had come to know
and to love his sometime patient,
and the invitation to Griswold in his
proper person had not been lacking
1t was inevitable that he should
meet Miss Farnham with some de-
gree of restraint, and that the en-
tire evening should scarcely suffice
for its effacement. AS a matter of
fact it was not properly effaced I'M

They had reached Mrs. Holcombs
gate and Raymer cramped the buggy
at the curb. But GriswoId did not
get out. Instead he put one hand on
Raymer's knee and said: "Have YOU
ever thought of taking a partner?'
Raymer's smile was a mere grim
ace.

Raymer was stupefied, as he had a
good right to be. But he managed
to ask how.
''In the simplest way Imaginable
Come to me tomorrow morning and
I will give you the money to take
up your note and the mortgage"
You? But, Griswold, man, you
didn't understand me. It's ninety
five-thousand dollars!" He said it
slowly, so that the misunderstanding
might be removed.
Griswold climbed out of the buggy
carefully, as beitted his weakness.
But when he turned to say good
night his grasp was the grasp of an
athlete.

dear fellow You shall have it all,

Getting draft cashed. I pre-
sumed"
where would that draft BIO now?"
"In the possession of the issuing
bank, and probably cancelled long
since. 1t couldn't be traced or
identified We've been over all that"
"Of course; but was hoping we
might stumble upon something that
had been overlooked. May use the
'phone?"
Certainly"
Griffin shut himself into the
'phOne-box and called up the wharf
masters office on the levee.
"HelloI Is this Robertson? Say,
Dick, where is the Belle Julie now?
Up-river, you say? All right; I am
coming down to get YOU to wire
Capt. Mayfeld for me-"
The wire" sent little later from
the wharf-master's office asked for
a list of the Belle jules lady pas
sengers on that voyage which began
on the day of the robbery. Griffin
was not above swearing a little when
the answer came. 1t was a string Of
twenty-Odd names, and to have
speech with these twenty-odd women
meant weeks of continuous travel
for the detective.
That being the next move in the
game, however, he set about making
it methodically, beginning with
those most accessible, and working
through the list from name to
name; and at the end of weeks he
had interviewed every woman on the
list save two. These two lived in
a small inland city in Minnesota, and
when he turned his face northward
to try the final cast of the die he
was weary enough to be disheart-
ened, if disheartenment had been
admissible.
1t was evening when he reached
Wahaska, and since it was too late
to do anything he promised himself
that he would smoke but a single
cigar and go to bed. But when the
cigar was aight he left the hotel to
smoke it in the open. There was
an unusual stir in the streets, and a
question asked of a chance passer-by
evoked the reason. The new Grier-
son opera house was to be. opened
that night by a company imported
from Chicago for the occasion, and
everybody was going to the theater.
