One of the prettiest entertain
ments of it's kind eyer given in the
city was that of the Yeoman of
America last Tuesday evening at
Odd Fellows Hall. Over one hun
dred persons were in attendance in
Guiding over sixty members of the
order. A program consisting of
dancing, music and speeches was
interspersed by instrumental music
by C. H. Kaiser of Minneapolis and
songs by P. A. Schnarr whose repu-
tation as an entertainer is quite
we'll known to many of our people.
The Yeoman has already taken its
place as the most popular society
of River Falls, numbering among
it's membership many of our best
people. Ladies and gentlemen be-
ing admitted on equal terms TO
membership and the novel social
features introduced as we'll as the
soundness of its business principles
has contributed to it's great and
growing popularity. The occasion
will be long and pleasantly remem-
bered by all who were fortunate
enough t. be present and we pre-
dict that many new members will
be added as a result of the meeting.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD
Pierce County Centenarian.
Ellsworth Honors Her Oldest
Inhabitant.

Pierce county now enjoys the dis.
tinction of being the home of cen
tenarian, in the person of Anthony
Huddleston, the pioneer settler Of
what is now known as the town OF
Ellsworth. Mr.. HuddleSton was
born in what is now known as West
Virginia, March IA, 1904, and on
Monday last was the honored guest
of the people of Ellsworth, on the
occasion of his having attained the
advanced age of one hundred years.
The idea of the celebration origin
ated some years ago with ex-Sena-
tor D. w. Woodwork who, with M.
M. Sanderson, E. S. Doolittle, L. G..
Spinney and A. r. Huber constitute
ed an executive committee under
whose direction the plan was most
successfully carried out.
Judge ]. w. Hancock acted as
master of ceremonies, and an ad-
mirable and appropriate program
was exceedingly we'll rendered.
The principal address was delivered
by Hon. F. M. Nye of Minneapolis,
who paid an eloquent and glowing
tribute to the sterling worth and in
tegrity of the great mass of the com
mon people, of whom the venerable
guest was typical representative.
At the close of Mr.. Nye's address
the assemb1age adjourned to the
banquet hall where sumptuous re-
past was served by the ladies of
Ellsworth, after which the program
was completed with toasts and re-
sponses. Uncle Hud," as he is
Familiarity known, is vigorous for
one of his years, and surrounded by
his children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, cordially greet
ed his old neighbors and friends
with the same hearty hand-shake as
of yore, remarking, Il don't feel
any older than did ten years ago. "
In the year 1854 Mr.. Huddleston
left his home at Batesville, in south
ern Indiana, upon a prospecting
tour, his objective point being Wi
mona, Minnesota. While on a Miss
issippi river steamer on his way up
he fell in with some emigrants bound
for Pierce county, and was by them
persuaded to remain on board until
the boat touched at Prescott. After
looking over the situation here, be-
ing partial to timbered land, he de-
cided to file upon the quarter sec
ton upon which the Omaha depot
at Ellsworth now stands. After fill
ing upon the claim selected he went
back to his old home, and the fol-
lowing spring returned with his
family to become the pioneer settler
of that town.
The Ellsworth people gave their
honored guest a substantial token
of their esteem, and he started out
upon the second century of his pill
grimage with the earnest wishes of
many friends that his remaining
years may be replete with content
ment, and pleasing recollections of
the past in which he has so faith
fully and uncomplainingly perform
ed 1ife's duties as they were pre-
sented to him.
At the next meeting of the Old
Settlers Association to be held here,
Mr.. Huddleston should be one of
the central figures, as centenarians
are something of a novelty, even in
climate so conducive to longevity
as this.

DIED.

ERRETT. the home of his son
Mr.. Frank Errett, in ST.. Paul.
March IL, 1904, of pneumonia, Mr.
Thomas L. Errett, aged IS years,
8 months and 4 days.
Mr.. Errett was taken sick Fri
day, Dec. 4. His wife died three
months ago from the same disease.
Mr.. Errett was born in Toronto,
Canada, Dec. 8, 1928, at which place
he grew to manhood. He was mar
ried to Miss Ruth A. Wing at Lind
say, Canada, Jan. S, 1855. Soon
after their marriage they moved to
Waterville, Mimi, and from thence
in 1874 to Hammond, St. Croix
county, this state; from there they
moved to Moorhead, Mimi, where
they resided for twenty years.
Four years ago they moved to the
farm in the south part of this city.
Five children came into this home,
three of whom are now living and
were present Tuesday morning at
the burial of their father in Green
wood cemetery: Frank Errett and
Mrs. Theodore Johnson of ST. Paul
and Mrs. w. S. Eberman of Stump
ter, Oregon.
The husband and father follows
the wife and mother in three months.
They had travelled together for 4S
years, in much happiness, because
of mutual affection and implicit
confidence. They had both been
lovers of books, and were intelligent
beyond the ordinary and they lived
in such a manner as to command
the highest esteem in all the COM
munities in which they had lived.
1t is a pathetic and yet lovely thing
that so soon they were reunited IN
the great beyond and that they
sleep side by side in their final
earthly resting place. The world
is poorer for the passing of such.
A goodly number of old friends
followed the remains of the old
gentleman to his grave, DR.. E. E..
C1ough having charge of the SER
vice.

from the infirmities of age.


March Is, 1904, Samuel G. Evans,
from the infrmities of age.
Mr.. Evans was born in Vermont
on the 4th of July, 1903, and so, had
he lived to his next birthday ami
versary, would be 90. In early man
hood he went to Indiana to reside,
but about 1867 moved to this state,
locating first at Baldwin, thence
moving to a farm in Kinnickinnic,
and few years later to this city,
which had since been his home.
Mr.. Evans was three times mar
ried. BY his first wife, to whom
he was married in 1888, he had eight
children, not one of which survives
the father. A son, Ephraim, died
of wounds received in battle near
Atlanta, Ca, in 1864. By his Sec
ond wife there are four children
living-Mrs. Mary Taylor and Sam
uel G. Evans of Buell., Mimi, Mrs.
Olive Asher of Detroit, Mich, and
Miss Ethel Evans, residing in Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Evans was a quiet, unobtru-
sive man but much respected by all
who knew him.
The funeral will be held to-mor-
row afternoon at 200 o'clock.

RoGERs.-At her home in the 18th
ward, this city, March 10th, 1904,
Mrs. Francis Rogers, aged 70
years, 9 months and 10 days.
The deceased, Turza M. Carrie
ton, was born at Dalton, N. H.,
June 6, 1880. Coming with her pa
rents to Wisconsin in 1889 they set
tied at Brookfe1d, Waukesha Co.,
where she spent her early years. In
the year 1847 she was married TO
Francis Rogers. There were born
to them ten children, eight of whom
are living, two having died in infan-
cy. The surviving children are:
Mrs. Pr. Hosch, Little Falls, Mimi;
Mrs. Albert Jenness, Hamm
Mrs. w. S. Reynolds; Minneapolis;
George H. Rogers, Red Wing, Mimi;
Guy Rogers, Hastings, Mimi; A. J..
Rogers, Portland, Or; F. C. Rogers,
Bemidji, Mimi; and Mrs. Betsy A.
Askew, this city.
For thirty-two years Mrs. Rogers
had lived in this city. Naturally OF
retiring disposition, her home
was her kingdom, where she was a
devoted wife and loving mother,
happiest when surrounded by her
loved ones. During the past few
wears she had met with several Sc
we're accidents which deprived her
of many privileges which others en-
loved, but all of these were accepted
with that sweet patience and cheer
fulness characteristic of her. AL
though her health had been poor
for years, it was not until about ter
weeks ago that she was obliged to
Weld to the disease that terminated
her beautiful life. Her greatest anx-
iety during this sickness had been
/ for her husband, with whom she had
lived nearly 81 years. Her Chris
tan faith and firm trust in her Sa-
vior sustained her in the last try
ing hours of suffering. Truly it
may be said of her, "She hath done
what she could"
The funeral will be held to-mor-
row afternoon at 200 o'clock, Rev.
D. B. Spencer conducting the SER

champion would stand in the front
rank of the speakers. Misses Sarah

In view of the fact that the num-
Der of chapters of the Order of the
Eastern Star had increased so rap
idly it was practically impossible
for the Grand Matron to give all the
attention needed It was decided to
divide the state into ten districts
with a separate inspector for each.
These inspectors are all past grand
matrons of the order. Mrs. E. B..
Armstrong of the chapter at this
place has been appointed as one of
these ten inspectors. Mrs. Arm
strong went to Hudson Tuesday
and from there, in the evening in
company with Grand Matron Mrs.
Alice Bashford, left for Milwaukee
to attend school for these inspect
ors held yesterday at the Plankin-
ton for instruction in the duties
devolving upon them in this new
relationship. Mrs. Armstrong goes
from Milwaukee TO Alma, where
this evening she constitutes a new
chapter of the O. E. S.

Americas, Ga, April 9.-Twenty
years at hard labor in the peniten-

Henry Morgan in Webster Superior
Court by Judge Littlejohn when the
trial jury returned a verdict in that
celebrated case.
Morgan was tried upon the charge
of having burned the business portion
of the town of Preston recently. He
was ably defended, but the testimony
adduced evidently warranted the ver-
dict.
Immediately upon the imposition of
the Morgan sentence, his alleged con-

on trial. Harrelrs counsel fought for
a continuance, but objections were
overruled, and the trial progressed I'M
til the fourth witness had been ex-

was taken sick, and the trial was
necessarily abandoned and the case

Exhibition.

Some of the Features of This Weeks
Exhibition.
One Of the events of this week will
be the Womans Club Loan Art
Exhibit in the club rooms on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, east, Tuesday and
Wednesday. The rooms will be open
to the public from 10 a. m. to p. m.
The exhibit will be beyond question
the most interesting that has been
seen in Savannah. The picture col
lection includes a number of works of
the best artists. Besides this the
club has secured the loan of a valuable
collection of china, and historic relics
relating to Savannah and Georgia.
The most valuable feature of this col
lection is the original draft of the
constitution of the Confederate States
loaned by Mr.. DeRenne. While there
are several spurious constitutions of
the Confederacy, this has been verified
as the original document, and is val
ued at $4,000. 1t has never before
been exhibited. 1t will be interesting
to all visitors, but especially to the
Daughters of the Confederacy and the
Confederate Veterans.
In the picture exhibit the Shotter
collection includes eleven pictures by
famous artists, bought at the Hilton
sale from the Marlborough collection.
One by Turner has been at many large
exhibitions in this country and abroad.
Another is a Landseer. None of the
collection has ever been exhibited in
Savannah. The committee has also
secured a large collection from Miss
Katherine Huger. Further on is a
water color loaned by Mrs. ]. Flor
ance Minis and a small drawing by
Carrot loaned by Mrs. Fred Myers.
Mrs. Ralph Elliott has also loaned a
collection of pictures by famous Dutch
artists. Among the pictures by Sa-
vannah artists. are several by Mrs.
j. L. Graham. Miss Emma Wilkins
and Mrs. Charles. M. Bunker.

teresting in the extreme. 1t includes
six by Malbone, Americas greatest
miniature painter, one being of George
Washington Greene, son of Gen. Ma
thanael Greene, whose body was buried
with that of his illustrious father. An
other is a miniature of Rachel Gratze
sister of Sir Walter Scott's Reoecca IN
'Ivanhoe Still another is by the
French artist Greuza. Several are by
Hargraven. The China exhibit is of
more than passing interest. This is
principally loaned by Mrs. w. A. Bis
bee. Besides this is a display of rare
lace, fans and embroidery, and coll
lection of Japanese art curios loaned
by Mr.. H. P. Smart and Mrs. j. A.
c.. Carson.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-10

The proposition recently made by
John W. Gates, to put up 75O,OO0, if
the rice millers and canal men Of
Louisiana and Texas. would subscribe
an equal amount &c the stock OF q COM
pany to be organized, was recently con-
sidered at a meeting of rice growers
recently held at Beaumont. Tex.
A committee of rice growers has is
sued a circular letter setting forth the
objects and aims of the new associa-
ton which 1t is proposed to call THE
National Rice Association of America"
1t is proposed that each rice mill
shall take $4,000 or over, and each ca
nal $4,000 or over of the stock. thus
making a total capitalization of $780,
900 of cash paid up.
Strictly Mutual.
1t is understood, however. that the
company shall be strictly a commits
sion or selling company; the capital
stock to be divided into shares and
distributed in proportion to each COM
pany or individuals subscription, the
company to be controlled and handled
by board of directors, to be selected
from the stockholders, of fifteen MEM
bers, out of which directory of fifteen
men, five are to be elected as an ex-
ecutive committee to have the active
of the company: the idea
being to sell clean rice and to fix the
prices so that the producer can get
fair price for his rice, and at the same
time reach the consumer at low
price, which must have the effect Of
bringing rice into greater demand
and increasing the consumption there
Of selling rice under one head; that
