candidate for high Office. lie was
mRuy weeks on the road and presum-

Now this man was a man of some

thrifty men who worked for Il ealary for
several years and saved more than his

Well. while he was busy persund:ng
the boys OF HI eastern county to vote
Tor his man, his wife died. fle was not
present to receive her lust words, being
too busy with practical politics.
About IL mouth or two ago he himself
died, and the only monument he has
left behind is the election Of the man he
worked so hard for. thut he had not
time to attend the bedside OF his dying
wife.

Old Ladies' Home for Rutland.

A four-story brick building, to be used
as an old ladies' home, will soon be
erected on Meadow street in Rutland.
Rev. T. J. Gaffney, who, it is understood,
will pay the greater part of the cost of
the building, has planned the institution
and the work will be carried on under
his personal supervision. The site select
ed is the lot opposite Convent avenue,
where the old Whitcomb residence now
stands. The latter house will be moved
south some distance. The building will
be 40 by 81 feet in dimensions and it will
have AZ rooms. Excavations will be
begun soon and the work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible. Work was to
have been begun several weeks ago, but
owing Father Gaffney's illness it was
postponed for a time. The institution
will be entirely of charitable nature,
something that is much needed in this
part of the state. Frank Commit of Ever
green avenue has the contract for the
work.
