commercial panic. She has main
tanned the stability of the purchasing
power of her money. She has not de-
monetized silver or doubled the pur-
chasing power Of her gold, and by
these wise policies she is able to put
great army in the field and great
navy on the sea, without contracting
a foreign debt. The economists have
done more for Japan towards making
her invulnerable from foreign attack
and domestic disturbances than any
other class of her people, however
great her admirals and generals may
be, or whatever heights her other
scientists may have gained. All hail
to the Japanese economists!

MEMORIAL SUNDAY.

Memorial Sunday was observed at
Christ church, this year, by the men,
bers of Brooks Grand Army Post and
Womars' Relief Corps. The members
of the former to the number of neai-
ly fifty, of the latter to the number of
about forty marched in slow process
sion to seats reserved for them in the
front of the center of the church.
The memories and history that clus-
ter around the Grand Army coupled
with the reverenU grandeur of the
Episcopal ritual made the service i'm
pressive and one long to be remem-
bered The music was especially
good, "The Te Deum" and "Jubi-
late" with Miss Edith Brooks and
Messrs. George Knapp and John An
gus, as soloists, were sung in man.
ner that added much to the impress
siveness of the service. The solo parts
were well sustained and the choruses
were good. The Cecilia Quartet sang
an offertory as beautiful as it was APP
propriate. Miss Alice Folsom s pleas
ing voice was heard in the quartet;
she sang in place of Mrs. Briggs, who
was detained by illness. The musical
and; in fact, the entire Introductory
service were a fitting prelude to the
able sermon preached by the rec.
tor of Christ church, Rev. A. N.
Lewis.
Rev. Mr.. Lewis took his text from
Ii Peter l :12. His thought was as
follows: Memorial Day. contrary to
the prophecies that were made con-
cerning 1t, mas been kept alive during
forty three years. 1t has not engeu-
dered hostility and is still hallowed
in the north and south because i. does
not celebrate the triumph of the north
over the south, but the honor due to
the soldiers who fight and die for their
country. The cost of preserving the
Union was over 600, 600 lives. But
the cause was worth it and the sur
vivors deserve honor. 1t is the rank
and file who deserve the credit. The
officers could not have achieved their
honors had it not been for the pri-
Yates. The cost of the preservation of
the Union is never appreciated until
we visit southern cemeteries and look
at the records of the southern prisons.
The mission of the Woman's Relief
Corps, to minister to the needs of the
soldier and their families, is great,
tLeir service heroic. In closing Mr..
Lewis said that, whatever the differ
ence of opinion as to the justice of |
war, it is most seemly that we should |
on at least one day in |
the year, the bravery of the heroes
who served their country

MISS BRADSHAW DEAD.


an early hour on Saturday at her old
home in Berlin, in the very house in
which she spent her early girlhood
Death came suddenly as in the case
OF W. +. Waterman who passed away
only few days ago. 1t was about
4.30 O'Clock when Mrs. L. A. New
comb was awakened by an unnatural
sound issuing from Miss Bradshaw
room below, and upon going down
she found her already dead. She had
been in feeble health for long time
and had not been out of the house
since last fall. The death of Mr..
Waterman for whom she had the high.
est regard came as a severe shock to
her already weakened constitution
and it is thought that to this, in
large measure, is due the sudden break
OF the slender thread which held her
to the earthly shore. Stree his death
she had not been quite herself.
With Miss Bradshaw's death the
last one of the family has passed
away. She had relatives in New Or
leans, Little Rock and Bellows Falls,
who lave died within the last ten
years. She was about seventy -eight
years of age and was born in the Lock.
lin house short distance from the
house in which she lived, for from
sixty to seventy years. For many
years she cared for her brother,
George, who was an invalid and her |
untiring efforts in making his life |
worth living had q tendency to |
shorten her own and since his death !
she had been broken down in health.
Mrs. l.. A. Newcomb, since she was
five years old, has lived with Miss
Bradshaw, and the relations which |
have existed between them have been
as Of mother and child.
Miss Bradshaw supervised the car
rying on of farm in Berlin for many
years and her reputation as a woman
of business ability became wide spread.
She was very charitable woman,
never making show of what she was
doing to alleviate the sufferings of
others, as some OF the letters of thanks
from poor people, found among her be.
longings, have given evidence. She
was member of the Bethany church
and contributed largely to that insti-
tuition. She was known throughout
the State as great temperance
woman and did much for the Good
Templars' lodges in Vermont, and by
Miss Anna Parks of Bellows Fails she
ever esteemed as dear friend. Miss
Bradshaw gave freely to the support
of the Y. M. O. A. also
Funeral services for the late Miss
Lucy j. Bradshaw were held at the
family residence on Northfield street
on Tuesday. Rev. W. R. Wallace
supplying at Bethany church, and
Rev. DR.. J. Edward Wright of the
Church of the Messiah, eulogized the
virtues and character of the deceased
her church work, her interest ana ac-
tlvity in temperance affairs and in
every good cause She was a power
for good in all matters that enlisted
her sympathies. A profusion of flow
ers and floral emblems testified to the
interest and affection of friends and
neighbors and Miss Bradshaw S for
mer associates in philanthrophic &C
tivities The pail bearers were Hi.

in Green Mount Cemetery in the fam
lily lot. A large and reverent COM
pany was in attendance ON the SER
