Eighty-Five Years Young.

It is not often that one can get ahead
OF E. F. Brown, one of St. Johnsbury's
most active and jovial citizens, but last
Friday evening little deception was
played on him, and he was invited down
to the Church of the Messiah to parish
sociable, so-called. To complete the sur
prise he was invited to serve as one of
the reception committee with Rev. and
Mrs. A. F. Walch, Mrs. F. V. Powers, J.
L. Couch, Mrs. S. w. Parkhurst and Miss
Laura A. Jenness. A short musical pro-
gram was given, consisting of piano solos
by Ray Spaulding and Maude Brown
and vocal solos by Miss Phebe Scott and
Mrs. Walter Brockway.
Rev. Mr. Walch then preferred charges
against our veteran townsman, accusing
him of being possessed of unbounded good
nature, endless fun and most excellent
health. He closed his arraignment of his
virtues by presenting him with S5 car
nations as a reminder that he was S5
years young.
Mr.. Brown responded very felicitously
and said he would throw himself on the
mercy of the court. and as there was a
lawyer present, who had known him
longer than the pastor, he would ask
Judge Bates to defend him.
Judge Bates followed with very happy
speech. and at the close all congratulated
Mr. Brown upon an event which comes
to but few men and which few can enjoy
as we'll. Ice cream and cake was served
at the close of the reception.

Woman's Club rleetlng.

At the business meeting of the club
Monday afternoon, Mrs. c. 81. Merrill,
chairman of the education committee,
gave very encouraging report of the
summer school, under the auspices of
that committee. The first session was
held Monday forenoon and between 80
and 80 children were in attendance.
The teachers are Miss Beatrice May in
sewing; Miss Ella L. Wilmarth in sew
ing, weaving and basketry, assisted in
the latter by Miss Eva L. Wilde; c. III.
Dempsey in sloyd; and Miss Marion D.
Patterson in cooking. The club sho wed
their interest in this undertaking by ap-
propriating $16O to the education and
domestic science committee to cover the
expenses of the work. Visitors will be
welcome at any ftbe classes at any time.
The speaker of the afternoon, Judge
Henry c. Bates, was gracefully intro
duced by Mrs. Walter P. Smith, chair
man of the history and travel commit
tee. He said, in consenting to address
the Woman's Club, he had promised to
give an informal talk rather than an
address or lecture; and in a delightfully."-
chatty way he entertained the mem bers
of the club and invited guests for over an
hour. He dwet mainly upon the Gus
toms of the Filipinos and their domestic
lite, giving many personal touches and
descriptions of 'the little brown people,
which have not yet appeared in books.
In closing he spoke of the genial tempera-
ment of the people and their love of
games, festivals and feast days. He
touched lightly upon the problems in the
islands but said the people were eager
for education and the children showed
remarkable progress under the guidance
of the American school teachers. During
his address he exhibited photographs of
the more educated classes, specimens of
their handicraft, and dirk knives and
boleros used in quarrels and warfare,
which had been forfeited to the court
over which be presides, by Filipino men
and women who had been convicted of
murder and lesser crimes.
At the conclusion of his address he was
given hearty reception by the ladies of
the club, and delicious fruit punch was
served by the social committee.

DEATH OF SAM SWOOP
MAY RESULT IN ACTION BY THE
 GOVERNOR.
Negro Convict Whe Was Killed by
 Coming in Contact With Electric Wire in Tennesse Com- pany Mine.

Birmingham, Oct. 23.-(SpeciaL)-- Assistant Mine Inspector James Hill- house has filed with the Chief Inspector. a report of the death of Sam Swoop, a negro convict in Mine No. at Pratt City, operated by the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company, and the report has been forwarded to Governor Cunningham in Montgomery.
 Consequences are expected in view of a report given out by the Governor some months ago when the convicts were first placed in Mine No. 8. where union miners left on strike. Mine No. Is equipped with the electrical haul age system. The capacity of the mine is large. The feed or trolley wires through the mines for the operation of the system are well guarded. However, Governor Cunningham asserted when the convicts were first paced in the mine that he wished 1t understood that great care must be taken that none of the convicts should be made to undergo additional riskks of life beyond that of coal mining. .-..- -....-.
 swoop was killed by coming in con- tact with some exposed wire. That the Tennessee Company has been careful to give the convicts every protection from danger is not denied.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company has been getting a steady supply of coal with convict labor since the strike of the union miners began. This point of additional danger in the mine was sprung by citizens of Pratt City whose sympathies have been with the union miners. Swoop was killed last Thursday and two days have been taken in investigation. swoop was county convict.
