WIFE AND MOTHER.

The following article on the late
Mrs. L. Holton is published by re-
quest of her bereaved husband, by
whom it was written and selected:
On Friday, Oct. 2, Mary, the be-
loved wife of L. Holton, one of the
first settlers of Sheridan, was taken
i'll with an accute attack of Bright s
disease. On Oct. Sd DR.. Gray of
Vesta prescribed for her and on the
day followin DR.. Chadbourn of Wa
basso was called to assist DR.. Gray.
Both physicians did all in their
power to help her, but without sue
cess. At l o'clock Sunday after
noon Rev. FIR. Stuckel of Wabasso
administered the sacrament of the
Holy Catholic church, after which
she soon became unconscious and at
Z O'Clock, surrounded by broken
hearted family and friends, she
peacefully passed away.
The funeral services, conducted
! bN Rev. J. J. Woods of Redwood
Falls, assisted by the Wabasso
choir, in st. Mary church of Sea-
forth, were very beautiful and i'm
pressive. The Rev. FIR. took his
text from St. John II chap. % to 25
v. His sermon was very affecting
and instructive.
The remains were then laid to
rest in the Catholic cemetery of
Sheridan.
MRS. Holton s maiden name was
Mary Davy. She was born in Ire
land in 1847. Immigrated to the
state of Rhode Island, at the age of
Is and lived there until her mar
rage with L. Holton JAM 10Th, 1874,
when they came west and settled on
his farm in Sheridan. They lived
happily until God claimed her for
his own. Her husband and five
) daughters, Mrs. J. A. Jackson,
! Anna, Katherine, Agnes and Jose
phine are left to mourn her loss.
She has left vacancy in our hearts
and homes that never can be filled.
"Mrs. Holton was good, practical
catholic and a devout child of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. To whom,
in the words of our favorite poet
she offered her prayers and confes
sion, and Mary in heaven for her
made intercession, and if our faith
had given US nothing more than
this example of all womanhood,
SO mild, so merciful so strong so good,
: So patient, peaceful, loyal, loving, pure.
This we're enough to prove it higher ant
truer
: Than all the creeds the world had know
before. -LOnQfelLox
e Hope still lifts her radiant fingers
Pointing to our eternal home
Upon whose portal mother fingers
$ Looking back for US to come,
Moore
mother, dearest mother, God rest you

"HELD FOE POSTAG e."

A lady at the post office recently en-
tertained herself, while her compan-
ion was posting some letters, by read
ing the list of advertised letters and
the addresses on those "held for
POSTAGE, the waits of negligent or
forgetful writers. One was addressed
TO Minneapolis. A vision of the in
tended recipient waiting for the mis-
who believed the message was whiIl-
ing on to the distant metropolis of
the northwest, and wondering why
no reply came back, appeared to the
mind of the lady. Turning to the clerk
at the general delivery she inquired,
Cant | put a stamp on this letter."
The clerk was somewhat dazed by the
unusual inquiry, but answered that
he knew of no reason why, if one was
inclined, apparently thinking some
inmate of an asylum was loose in the
community. Accordingly. a stamp
was attached to the letter, and two
others that were also held up, and
the missives were sent on their wind.
ing way to the addresses. The lady
was not lunatic, or a crank, or a
person of any mental irregularity at
all. On tine contrary she was a person
of charming characteristics of body
and soul, refined, wealthy. traveller
in distant countries, resident of an
American city, doing always or any
where some good deed, on the i'm
pulse of the moment or with DELHI
crate set purpose. In small way,
the scene and act in the post office
was just like her.

Post, G. A. r., was an unusually
pleasant one. Besides the usual num-
Der present from this city, party of
twentv-one, from the Barre lodge was
present. Features Of the evenings
entertainment were thu speeches of
Fred Mudgett and John Smith of
Barre. and a graphaphone exhibition.
Refreshments were served and a social
hour spent after the program was
completed. In the party from Barre
were II. K Bush, past grand warden,
and Mrs L. l.. b ugbee, grand chap
lain.
The friends of George W. Allen of
West Stewartstown, n, H., we'll
known in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire as deputy supreme chief ranger
of the Independent Order of Foresters,
will be glad to know that he has just
been elected grand chancellor of
Grand Lodge knights of Pythias of
New Hampshire. Mr. Allen held the
office of grand vice chancellor last
year so his election was in the line of
promotion. He is also colonel and
assistant inspector general of the New
Hampshire brigade, Uniform Rank,

tive of his grand lodge at the recent
Pythian gathering in this city and
Barre. Mr.. Allen is frequent and
always welcomed visitor to the l. o.
F. Court here.
A the meeting of the Unity Club on
Friday evening. in the vestry of the
Church of the Messiah, Rev. j. Ed
ward Wright presided and introduced
Mrs. j. A. Goodwin, who sang two
selections which were much enjoyed,
and the speaker of the evening. Col.
A. @. Brown, who gave pleasant
and informal talk on the journey to
California, and interesting descriptions
Of the various places visited-inclad-
ing Chicago, Salt Lake City, Pasa-
dena, San Francisco and other points
in California, the famous YELLOW
stone Park, and others. Col. Brown
had number of pictures in illustra-
ton but they could not we'll be pre-
sented for closer observation than
from the speakers hand. They served,
however, as suggestive items in Col.
Browns story with which he held the
close attention of his hearers for two
hours. 1t was exceedingly interesting
both from the subject and as coming
from one just fresh from those scenes
with which many are familiar only
in print. This was one of the most
delightful as we'll as instructive even
ngs the club has enjoyed.

DRUNK ON PARADE.

There are various ways in which the
artificial energy created by an over in
diligence in red liquor bursts forth
in different individuals. Some feel
strong enough to uproot the largest
elm tree ever planted, others can see
nothing but blue sky in the cloudiest
of weather and the ring of their laugh
is just as merry as that which greets
the funniest joke that Mark Twain
ever wrote. There are those whose
usual optimistic mood is turned to
blue, while Others seek vengeance on
anybody for nothing just to while
their time away. The last mentioned
type generally finds isolation every
where.
These classes of temperaments are
found nearly every day, but man on
the State House grounds the other day
diverged from these everyday mani
testation, and played an original game
all by himself. Two observers at the
State House windows were the only
spectators present and he was in ig-
norance of these. The spark that
burned most brightly in his bosom
was patriotism and you couldn't have
put it out with fire extinguisher.
Up and down the walk he marched
head erect aud eyes ahead in true sol
dierly style, all but his legs, which
rather lessened the dignity of his up
per carriage. He couldn't find any
thing in blue uniform or brass buttons
to adore so he picked out the Dewey
cannon on the terraces and proceeded
to march up to them saluting in a
most grave and dignified manner. first
to one and then to the other. He was
so harmless and sincere that no efforts
for his arrest were made and it is
probable by this time he is back from
the war 1t is only hoped he will re-
main sober ON Memorial Day for at the
sight of an American flag he would
probably drop dead of 10y.

DRUNKS ON RECORD.

Louis n. Wood, with the co.opera-
ton of City Judge Woodward, has
just completed list of the names of
all who have been convicted in city
court of intoxication in Montpelier,
with some o. the best known of Barre
and Waterbury, since the new license
law went into effect in March This
list of names is arranged in alphabet
ical order with the number of offences
of which each man has been convict
ed to Sunday, October 4. The list is
being typewritten and copies of the
same will be presented to all licensees
in Montpelier and one to each of the
license commissioners. 1t will prove
very useful to licensees for it is cor
rect and names can be easily referred
to.
About fourteen arrests for intoxica-
ton were made from the time the law
went into effect to the time of the
opening of the saloons in this city.
Louis Woods place was the first to
open on the date of April 10, but few
of the others were open before the
first and after the beginning of May.
There are on the list III names of men
who have been convicted of intoxioa-
tion under the new law, and of this
number only forty-eight reside in
MONTPELIER. a few from this city have
been convicted of INVESTIGATION in the
Barre city court and vice versa while
number on the list live in Water
bury. The list was compiled to aid
the licensees of Montpelier and there.
fore contains all who have been con-
victed of intoxication in Montpelier
city court with few characters from
the other mentioned places.
OF the I'll convictions there are one
for fourth offence, four for third
offence, thirty for second, and 1856 for
first offence. Thus it will lie seen that
the Montpelier residents convicted in
the seven months since the new law
went into effect average in number
not quite seven DRINKS a month.

two or three barrios of that pueblo
some objection was made to it,.

R4IDED AGAIN.

Somehow the Hardwick officials
persist in believing that l., J. Doug
lass, who recently went there from
his city, is inclined to engage in the
sale of liquor illegally, for they have
already made two raids on the bill
lizard room which is being conducted
there by Mr.. Douglass and william
Brown recently of Barre. AS result
of the first raid there is case against
Douglass and Brown set for trial at
the December term of the Caledonia
county court but the second was less
successful
The Hardwick Gazette tells the
story as follows:
Douglass d Browns pool room was
searched Tuesday, liquor being the
liquid sought by the officers The
hunt was made in earnest, the officers
going so far as to break into what
might be hiding places. with an axe.
Upstairs and down, between walls
and under floor the boys in blue
squinted. The total result of the
search was an empty pint bottle found
in shed upstairs and one large po.
tato. Some people regard the potato
as clue and think it possible still
is operated there and potato whiskey
manufactured.
