FATAL ENDING OF A QUARREL.
A sad Result of n Neighbors' Quarrel
at East NnrdMick.

Saturday afternoon about one-halt
mile from East Hardwick on the Green's
boro road occurred a quarrel between
Mrs Joseph Massey and Mrs. Dan AL
drich, which resulted in the death OF Mrs.
Massey Sunday at 80 O'Clock.
The young Massey boy was fishing in
the river near his home when the Aldrch
boy began to throw stones at him. Mrs.
Massey came out Of the house to stop
the trouble and later Mrs. Aldrich ap-
peared on the scene. She slyly came up
behind Mrs. Massey and threw her to
the ground after which she began kick
ing and pounding her and then dragged
her to a steep bank about twenty feet
high and threw her down the bank
Mrs Massey remained there Tor some
time but she finally succeeded in reaching
her home by crawling on her hands and
knees. She lived until Sunday her death
probably resulting from internal in
jurles.
A post mortem was held Monday by
the doctors of Hardwick and East Hard
wick, but the results of their examina-
tion have not been made public. States
Attorney Morse and Selectmen Stanford
and Hancock have visited the scene, but
the authorities have not as yet made
any arrests.
The body of Mrs. Massey was brought
to st. Johnsbury for burial and the
funeral was held at Notre Dame church
Tuesday morning, Rev. J. A. Boisson'
nault officiating.

Easter at the Churches.

(Written for the CALEDoNIAN.)
We hail the days appearing
That saw the Lord Christ rise;
Let joyful loud hosannas
Awake the ecboing skies.
We hail the gladstone brightness
OF Resurrection MON;
Let Casters hope awaken us
From Lenten thoughts forlorn
Jesus, risen Savior,
We sometimes in our greed
To own Thee King, have lost Thee
In a much greater need
The patient, kindly, gentle friend,
Who yet hast conquered Death.
That we with Thee may live again,
May breathe imm ortal breath.

The Advent Christian church was pref
tily decorated on Easter Sunday with
flowers and potted plants. The pastor
preached a sermon appropriate to the
day, at the morning service, and special
chorus choir rendered excellent music.
The Sunday school concert at the even
ing service was largely attended and all
the music and recitations were well pre-
sented.

FACT MOE A FANCY.

Don't advertise; 1t can do you no
good, nor will it help anyone else;-
that is, if you have nothing of value
to advertise, and cannot stand back
Of your assertions. If you advertise
in spasms, and follow some style adopt
ed by a fellow tradesman you get the
Minnehaha. Advertising paysl That
is the verdict OF all who advertise a
good article, one that will stand the
test. Barnum said: 1.-The public likes
to be humbugged." Does it? Can you
afford to say that you have an article
of superior merit, and then palm of an
inferior? Will the public come again,
Nayi nay! The public gives you your
bread; give the public what you say
you will. If you state that the DOUG
LAS PATENT CLOSET is guaranteed
against leakage and the annoyance Of
running water, stand ready to prove
it. Bath, the plumber, sees the proof
that the DOUGLAS gives satisfaction.
The public buys the Douglas.

Aguirre. The estate and mill are those
over which w. j. Lowrie has control
and the reports indicate that he pros--
pers in his new field of activity. Ex-
tracts are as follows:
Central Aguirre plantation consists
of about 5000 acres of dead level cane
lands, bordering on the south shore of
the island. A modern nine roller mill
is on the beach near the center of the
estate; and a second nine roller mill
and new Lille quadruple effect. near
ly completed, adjoining the first mill.
Total capacity, 1900 tons of cane per
day.
A railroad, owned by the same stock
holders that own Central Aguirre, ex-
tends ten miles from the mill east to
.Guayama, and twenty-five miles west to
Ponce. tapping the lands of many in
dividual cane growers and carrying
their crops to the mill here to be
ground.
There is on the island but one other
concern like this. 1t is at Guanica, and
the mill capacity is slightly larger than
Aguirre. There are about ten fair
sized plantations with modern mills
about like Waimana1o. and probably
one hundred small and very old fash
Toned muskavado mills.
The climate, scenery and foliage Is
so much like that of Hawaii that it re-
minds one constantly OF your islands.
Cane is grown in much the same man
ner, but they have no Industrious Japs
here to contract to do such work
There is an abundance of native Porto
Rican labor but the men are lazy and
indolent and barely earn the wage paid,
so cents per day of eleven hours
Upon the result of the present grind
ing season depends the erection of two
more "Centrals'' Gas large mills are
called here) by the company owning
Aguirre. and they will both be under
Mr.. Lowrie's management, as well as
the present one. Walter Lowrie is as
sistant manager here, and is doing
good work. He has improved since 1
knew him on Maui, and will soon be as
energetic as his hard working father.
More coffee lin value) than sugar is
grown here and all by small planters
on the hill sides and even in the noun
tains.
Vegetables are neglected, as in Ha-
wall, and our main supply comes from
New York; same as to meat; but or
anges, bananas, avacados, cocoanuts,
lines and melons are plentiful and de-
licious.
The most wonderful thing I've seen
here is the military road" 1t is a
grand stretch of macadam eighty miles
long, crossing the island from San Juan
to Ponce, kept as smooth as any park
drive in New York, and without even
a blade of grass in the cutters. It
climbs mountain peaks and descends
into beautiful valleys. always on an
easy grade, and the views from it are
simply superb. many similar to your
Pail on Oahu. Hacks cover the dis
lance in eight hours by changing horses
four times en- route, and it's not a tire
some trip, but a grand ride
1 hope the recent advance in sugar
has helped your business, and that
your new cable will aid prosperity and
make it permanent. Will look forward
to the Advertiser, with its column of
cable news, with much interest.
