Col. Charles w. Rose.

Announcer Oh MluuleDurN brave anu
conspicuous soldiers of the Civil War,
Col. Charles w. Rose, passed away at
his home in Adrian, Mich, on Sunday,
Nov. % Col. Rose was the only sur
viving brother of Walter j. Rose of this
town, and was a son of Charles G. and
Nancy (WoodrufD Rose, who came to
Middlebury from Connecticut in 1912.
Aside from his other fine qualities as
soldier, it used to be said of Col. Rose
that he was one of the best drill-masters
in the whole Union army. The funeral
services were held at the late residence
of the deceased at Sc South Main street,
Adrian, at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing, Nov. "a, and the burial was in
Hudson.
The following sketch of Col. Rose is
taken from the Adrian Daily Times, of
Monday, Nov. %:
cat $3.50 Sunday morning, at his home
on South Main street, occurred the death
of Col Charles w. Rose, respected
citizen and at one time business man of
this city. Though he has been in poor
health for several years, the immediate
cause of his death was exhaustion from
anaemic condition brought on by disease
contracted in the army.
"Charles Woodruff Rose was born in
Middlebury, VT, Aug. 8, 1887, where he
resided until the breaking out of the
Civil War. In 1861 he entered the serv-
ice as first lieutenant of Co. l. First YER
mont Volunteer infantry, for period of
three months. At the expiration of his
term he entered the service again as
captain of Co. B, of the Fifth Vermont
regiment in September of that year.
He was wounded in the battle of Savage
Station in June, 1862. At the age of "a
he was promoted to lieutenant colonel of
the Fourteenth Vermont regiment, serv-
ing in this capacity until the close of the
war.
His regiment participated in several
prominent battles, and during the en-
gagements he was in the th:ckest of the
fray. He was brave man and never
ordered his men to go anywhere but
what he was in the fore. He was born
leader, and was the mark for rebel bull
let's which wounds he carried with him
to his grave.
In the spring of 1866 Col, Rose mi
grated to Michigan, locating in Hudson,
where he remained until 1880, when he
removed to this city, where he engaged
in the manufacture of wheelbarrows,
in the building at the corner of Michigan
and McVicar streets. On account of
poor health he was obliged to give up
his business. He had made this city his
home.
I'm 1866 Col Rose was united in mar
riage to Miss Teresa E. Lane, of Hudson.
Besides his estimable wife and daughter,
Miss Francis, he leaves one sister, Mrs.
Loren Holden, of Hornsby, ILL.,, and one
brother, Walter j. Rose, of Middlebury,
Vt.
''Col. Rose was an excellent citizen,
and during his residence here had made
many friends. He was of quiet dispo-
sition, and was devoted to the home
circle For some months he had not
been able to leave his home, and for the
past few weeks his condition grew grad
ually worse until the final summons.

The most important political event of
past week was the letter of Grover
Cleveland to his personal friend, the
editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, in
which he unequivically declines to be a
candidate for the presidency. He says:
Your advocacy in the Eagle of my
nomination for the presidency came to
me as a great surprise; and it has been
seconded in such a manner by demo-
cratic sentiment that conflicting thoughts
of gratitude and duty have caused me to
hesitate as to the time and manner of a
declaration on my part concerning the
subject-if such a declaration should
seem necessary or proper. In the midst
of it all and in full view of every con-
sideration presented, | have not for a
moment been able, nor am | now able,
to open my mind to the thought that in
any circumstance or upon any consider
alton, | should ever again become the
nominee of my party for the presidency.
My determination not to do SO is unalter-
able and conclusive"
This is final, and 1.-The trust magnates
will have to find another 'safe man" to
nominate as the democratic candidate
on the platform anything to beat

Several changes in the staff of the
Central Vermont Railway company, of
st. Adams, have been made. The freight
customs business has shown so large an
increase during the past two years that
the ACCESSIBILITY of dividing the customs
agency from the freight agency has been
decided upon. H. f. Bentley, formerly
in charge of both departments, will be
placed in charge of the customs depart
ment with a force of some five or six
customs clerks.
T. S. Beeler, chief train dispatcher
has resigned the position, having secured
like position with the Kansas City and
Southern railway, with office at Shreve-
port, La.
The superintendent of motive power,
Thomas A. Summerskill, who has held
the position for the past three years, has
resigned to take service with the Grand
Trunk railway elsewhere. The new sup

Archibald Buchanan, Jr., who for the
past four years has been master me-

Business Better,

Bradstreet's Vermont report, dated
Nov. Both, says
AS reported to Bradstreet's, the sharp
weather of the past week, accompanied
in the northern part of the state by snow
has induced an active retail business,
which is further stimulated by the be-
ginning of the holiday trade. The
people are in comfortable circumstances,
farmers haying secured good harvest
and workmen having been well en-
ployed for the year, receiving liberal
wages, which will tend to create salts
factory trade for the storekeeper. This
is the season which is usually quiet for
the manufacturers and dizziness is I'M
usually conspicuous this year, although
as far as reported there have been no
particular reductions in wages or time.
The creameries are doing well, and the
lumbermen are waiting for snow to en-
able them to haul logs to the MILL the
demand for men to work in the woods
far exceeds the supply at present.

Starksboro Girl Gets a B ible

New industries in Vermont are spring
ing up each month and we might make
it still stronger and say each week. The
state is today not only furnishing en-
ployment to all her home people but is
bidding for help in other New England
states. If this same condition had
existed in past years, Vermont men who
have made business records in other
states would have made the same re-
cord in Vermont. Waterbury Re-
cord.
Evidence accumulates that Vermont is
to be primarily an industrial state. 1t
can be further said that outside capital
is surely finding this out. The develop
ment is gradual but it is certain. En-
ergetic spirits in other states, looking for
a field that is not overcrowded, for in
dustrial conditions that are settled
and secure and for proximity to the
best markets in the country, are direct
ing their attention in increasing meas
ure to Vermont. The rich resources of
this state will at no very distant date be
widely cognized.-Rutland Daily

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Here is poor Burlington druggist,
heavily fined and driven out of business
because he sold rum illegally; and there
is nobody to waste any sympathy on
this law breaker. Under the old pro-
hibition law, when man was driven
out of the liquor business, after being
relieved of considerable money in the
way of fines, there was a class of oppon-
ents of that law who professed to be-
lieve that the man was being prosecuted
Mortified News.
This shows the different spirit that
actuates the license men and the prohibit
tionists. Both should be in favor of the
faithful and impartial enforcement of
the law, so long as it remains on the
statute books. The former did all they
could to render the old law farce. We
are glad the latter do not initiate the
bad example.

majority of these fast miles, decidedly
more than all other horses combined.

1t was evident at the last New York
Horse Show that entries for trotting
classes are dwindling. In several there
were not enough animals to get up a
competition. The reason for this is
hard to find, for the prizes are liberal,
there is a surplus of meritorious horses,
and the interest is by no means on the
wane. One assigned cause is the fact
that the Horse Show is not advertised
in Journals devoted to the light harness

that.
