OUTBREAK
SUBSIDING
Small Pox Danger at North
Adams LeSsening.
TWO DEATHS PAST WEEK
North Adams Had No Detention
Hospital and the Disease
Spread.
TWO DEATHS PAST WEEK

The outbreak of small pox at North
Adams, which has caused two deaths
the past week land has seriously
threatened the city, is now thought to
be subsiding.
North Adams did not move promptly
as did Bennington last year and the
city is not yet provided with anything
except makeshift detention hospital.
The result has been an increased ex-
posure and it will probably take long
er to stamp out the disease.
Pownal, Williamstown and Reads
boro are watching out sharply to pre-
vent spread of the disease in this
direction and there is almost no trav-
ell between these towns and North Ad-
ans at present
1t appears that it was not until two
deaths occurred that the city authori.
ties awoke to the gravity of the situa-
tion, but they are now doing all pos
sible to stamp out the infection,

platoon of police and the Bennington
City Band were in line for their an
nual inspection and parade. The
Putnams appeared in their new suits
and with their new cart. Every COM

citizens should feel proud of their fire
laddies. The H and L truck in charge of
Louis Bleau deserves special mention,
Immediately after the parade the
crowd adjourned to the athletic field
to witness game of base ball between
Bennington and North Adams. This
resulted in victory for the visitors.

GALA DAY
Thirty-first Anniversary Of
Church There.
ADDRESS BY FOUNDER
Told How He Preached His First
Sermon over the Bar Of a
Deserted Saloon.
ADDRESS BY FOUNDER

There was very unique and inter-
esting celebration of the Old Home
Week idea at Ferndale chapel Tues
day evening. After large number
had been served supper the chapel was
put in readiness for a company that
filed nearly all the sittings.
Rev Edward Conover was leader OF
the devotional services. Rev WarreR
Morse of Bennington Center gave some
bits of thrilling history as showed the
Religious Significance of the Battle
of Bennington. He told how thirteen
of the first fourteen settlers in this
community we're church members; how
they represented the "seperatist move
ment' and disclosed that civil author
ity should not enforce religious views;
and because of this full religious
liberty it became, and still becomes
the duty of all believers to be euthusi-
astic in pursuading others to adopt
their faith.
Mr Morse was followed by the sing
ing of Miss Georgiana Austin of Ben
nington who won hearty applause
for the "Star Spangled Banner
The guest of honor was the Rev w.
o. Higley OF Castleton. Mr. Higley
came to Bennington about 35 years
ago and was for dozen years fore
man in the Cooper Needle shop Dur
ing this period hespent his Sundaysatrt.
part of his nights in Woodford Hol-
low. he talked to the people about
the religious life so successfully that
they met and ordained him a minister
of the Gospel.
He preached the first sermon for
which he took a scripture text in an
abandoned bar-room. The family
bible was brought down into this base
ment and from over the bar he dis
pensed the water of life.
Mr. Higley paid tribute to former
residents whose lives bear witness to
their faith and to friends in Benning-
ton who helped to raise the 1920
which it took to build the Ferndale
Chapel. His delightful address was
followed by the Misses Walbridge,
who continued the spirit OF the address
by the song "Saved by Grace"
Rev c. H. Peck of North Benning-
ton gave the future outlook by the
thrilling story Mohawk valley cross
roads community which had sent out
men of marked power because of
faithful church and a school teacher
of character and citizen of enter
prise. He insisted that this story
might be told again with the Ferndale
chapel as the Center. Rev Mr. Scott
of Woodford city sang very acceptab-
ly and showed what music could be
carried about in little telescope or
gan.
Miss Caroline Wilcox assisted at
the organ and Rev Mr. Morris presid.
ed. The thanks of all present are due
Miss Mary Mallory for her enthusi-
astic and persistant labor in securing
the speaker and singers for the pro-
gram.
a further plan for the chapel is a
social gathering and entertainment ia
be given by the people OF Camp Com
tort who take great interest in the
chapel work.

gagement was the surrounding of the |
battleship Retvizan by Japanese tor |

having gone TO the assistance of the |
Cesarevitch, which was then hard |
pressed. The Retvizan desperately at |
tempted to break through the line and |
tried to ram the cruiser which ap- |
preached, but she was fairly blown ont
of her course by hail of shells from |
the cruisers which now began partcl- |
pating in the fight. Every officer of |
the Cesarevitch was either killed or
wounded.
While the Cesarevitch was making
for Tsingchau funeral services were
held, in many cases over heads, arms
and legs. One sailor'whose hand was
severed by fragment of shell became
crazed by pain and the horror of blood
about him. He approached the cap
tain, held out the severed member in
his remaining hand and requested that
prayer be said over it.

are urging them TO surrender
