massacre,

From Mondays Daily.
The death of Mrs. H. b. Gary last
Saturday evening, October l4th, shortly
before nine o'clock, was quite a surprise
to most of the friends of the family. but
though coming quite suddenly the end
was not unexpected by the immediate
family, who anticipated that she could
not recover her health again, and that
her death might occur without much
warning. Friends and neighbors had,
however, been misled by her apparently
strong vitality and thought her to be
making good recovery from the severe
illness of the past two months or more.
Throughout her illness which was occas-
toned by her heart, with complications,
she had not been continually confined to
her bed, and had maintained her strength
| of mind and shown surprising activity,
| though. given constant care. During the
last few days there had been a percep-
son VIII, and his wife, who had been.
here, concluded to arrange matters at
their home in AIankato and spend the
winter in Marshall, assisting Mr.. Gary,
and his daughter, Mrs. Persons, in car
ing for the mother. VIII returned
| from MankatO Saturday afternoon, and
that evening while Mr.. Gary, Will and
| Mrs. Persons were with her, Just after
she had partaken of some nourishment.
| and while conversing with her family,
death came to Mrs. Gary with hardly
moments warning.
Mrs. Gary was seventyone years of
age the 18th of last month, and was
born in Westmoreland, n ii. She was
married to Mr.. Gary in 1852, and il
1854 they came to Winona, this state

years after in the train service of the
Northwestern railway system. As that

UNDERTAKING. rHE IMPOSSIBLE.
Equitable Directors Cannot Cover Up
Wrong Doing.

There is grave question OF the sanity
of a board of directors which commits
itself to such a course as that followed
by the directors of the Equitable. There
is also, and we say it with profound
reluctance, grave question Of their moral
responsibility.
We have taken occasion to point out,
and there are few thoughtful or coinpe-
tent observers who fail to agree with
us, that the gravest danger which threat
ems this country and its government
is that which has its origin in corporate
dishonesty and the outrages committed
in corporate management on the body
corporate. 1t is this which makes pos
sible the quick and thoughtless response
all over the land to the headlong and
stubborn impulses of our President, this
which threatens the security and very
existence of property and this which
finds its expression in the clamor for
Federal regulation of everything and
municipal control of general utilities.
No more fragrant instance, to our
mind, of gross, persistent and systema-
tiled dishonesty has ever come to light
than that Of the Equitable corporation.

close an indeterminable vista of corrup-
ton and peculation in the administra-
tion of the most sacred tiduciary insti-
tuition that we know in our social
scheme of life. And what is the result?
The trustees and directors, in panic
at the disclosure, resolve to shut it
from public scrutiny, to heap detergents
and disinfectants over it, to whitewash
the easement OF the cesspool and to
enshroud the whole unspeakable thing
in fictitious oblivion. They have un-
dertaken the impossible.
1t is impossible that public opinion,
which is stronger than boards of di-
rectors, stronger than the Legislature,
stronger than all the subservient tools

Probably the most enjoyable call was
that upon the venerable town clerk,
William S. Newton, whose years Of SER
vice exceed that of most any other town
clerk in the country. Mr.. Newton re-

walking to Brattleboro from his home
in Marlboro to hear Daniel Webster

Mr.. Newton to visit Washington next
winter, when he would see to It that he
enjoyed his stay there, and promised to
send his picture to Mr. Newton.

word can reach him in Oklahoma. The
strictest secrecy is maintained at the

LOST WATCH AND MONEY.
Hackman's Experience While Carrying
Soldiers to Fort Ethan Allen.

A Burlington hackman had an expert
ence Saturday night which he does not
care to repeat. At about midnight he
was hailed from the hack stand by three
soldiers who wished to be carried to
Fort Ethan Allen On Elmwood ave-
nue. another soldier joined them and
everything went well until they reached
Athletic Park, when the passengers be-
gan to get hilarious and wanted to
fight. Accordingly the bunch squared
off on the roadway and general scrim-
mage ensued. The result of the fight
was in doubt when Policeman Miles
and another officer appeared on the
scene and took two of the soldiers to
the Jail. The hackman then resumed
his interrupted journey and good fellow
ship was the rule. The men offered the
hackman drink and he refused. They
then offered him another drink and he
took swallow. After that things be-
came hazy and the drivers recollection
of events is very dim.
On the return trip, the hackman dis
covered that his money, amounting to
about five dollars, and gold watch had
been stolen. The driver thinks he can
identify his fares. One of them wore
civilians clothes.

Healer Asked to Leave.

Prof B, George wilkins, the mag
netic healer, who advertised to be at
the Brooks House in Brattleboro last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, was
there Thursday, but ON the two following
days his headquarters were on the New
Hampshire side Of the river where he
did d large business, running car
rage between his headquarters and the
Brooks House. He advertised to treat
certain diseases. The advertisement
came to the attention of DR.. ]. Sutcliffe
Hill of Bellows Falls, member of the
Vermont State board of medical regis
tration, and Dr. Hill came to Brattleboro
and pointed out the law to Mr.. Wilkins,
who said he would leave at once. Section
II Of the act creating board of medical
registration, passed at the last session
of the Legislature, makes person who
follows the occupation of treating d.
sease by any system a physician and the
law prohibits him from practicing with
out a license. Section IL makes it the
duty of the board to take action in all
such cases.
