Sermons on the Exalted Theme Of the
Resurreotlon-speolal Services Amid
Floral Decorations.
Easter Sunday was a rarely delightful
day, with new life budding on every side.
The congregations in the local churches
were unusually large. In each church
the sermon took up some phase of the
resurrection and its significance, and the
programs of special music announced last
week were carried out A particularly
pleasing service was given at the Metho-
dist church by the Sunday school, assist
ed by the choir, amid decorations of palms
and Easter lilies. The decorations at the
Unitarian church were Easter lilies,
callas, palms and daffodils At the carol
service in the afternoon Rev. Mr. Osgood
made a brief address on THE Immortal
Hope" The Roman Catholic church was
crowded both morning and evening, and
n profusion of cut flowers. Easter lilies
and candles was used in decorating the
altar. The platform at the Congregational
church was decorated with Easter lilies,
furnished by the Sunday school, which
afterwards were distributed among the
members of the parish who were ILL., A
special service was held by the school,
including solos by Miss Laura Leitsnger
and Fred c. Adams, a violin solo by
Alison Dugan anu songs by the primary
and junior departments pleasing
feature was the distribution of planted
bulbs to the members of those depart
ments, prefaced by remarks by Rev.
Mr.. Miles. Green and white crepe paper,
ported plants and lilies were used with
good effect in the decorative scheme at
the Universalst church In the evening
a Sunday school concert was given, in
GLIDING recitations and exercises by the
children and musical selections by mem
bers of the school as well as by the choir.
solo by Miss Ruth Brown and an in

in the Baptist church a communion and
baptismal service was held In the after
noon, when the ordinance of baptism was
administered to seven persons. Easter
lilies were used in decorating the plat
form at the morning service, and in the

Rev. A. II. Webb, who will come to
the Brattleboro Methodist church as pas
tor a second time, was born in Devon
shire, England, a little more than half
century ago. His father was a Methodist
minister in England, and Mr.. Webb has
been an Itinerant all his life. He was
educated at New Kingwood, Bath, a
college solely for the sons of Methodist
ministers. He first Joined the Nova
Scotia conference, married a Methodist
minister's daughter, and came with her
to Vermont in 1874, being first stationed
at Barton. He was called to Brattleboro
from Mortified in 1890, and remained
here three years. Since then he has had
two charges, for four years as pastor of
Trinity church in Montpelier, and he is
now closing his eighth year as pastor of
Grace church in Bradford. His first wife
died in Montpelier soon after leaving
Brattleboro, and in 1895 he married Miss
Mary A. Barry of Bellows Falls, who was
assistant teacher in the high school at
that place nearly II years. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Webb will begin his pastorate
here the first Sunday in May.

OFFICER FACED SUSPECTED MAN.
There Was no Horse Stealing Case, But
Hutchlnson's Wife Had plsappeared.

While Chief-of- Police Hall was tel
ephoning to Deputy Sheriff Kiniry of
Windsor Friday night to find out what
had become of Edward L. Hutchinson,
who was suspected of attempting to sell
horse which he had bought but had
not paid for, the man in question walked
into the telephone office for the purpose of
telephoning to Deputy Sheriff Kiniry to
find out what had become of Mrs.
Hutchinson. Hutchinson is the young
man who gave himself up in February,
1904, for opening a letter addressed to
Harry Prouty of Halifax, forging Mr..
Prouty's name to a check which he
found therein and securing money on
the check at a Brattleboro bank. He
afterwards served a term for opening a
letter and still later was put under bonds
to appear at the county court to answer
to the charge OF forgery, j. L. Martin
becoming bondsman. Hutchinson recent
ly leased the Brosnahan farm in Guilford
and bought a horse of G. E. Gilman for
$3.50, giving Mr. Gilman lein note in
lieu of cash. On Thursday of last week
he drove the horse to Windsor. Mr..
Gilman suspected that the purchaser was
trying to sell the horse, and asked Chief
of-Police Hall to have Hutchinson appre-
hended. Then followed the meeting of
the two men in the telephone office. Mr..
Martin learned of the affair and said he
asked that Hutchinson he taken into
custody Mr.. Hall put the prisoner in
charge of a keeper over Friday night,
and on Saturday morning Hutchinson
gave such a straightforward explanation
of his conduct that Mr.. Martin decided
not to withdraw as bondsman and the
prisoner was released, to appear in
county court this week on the forgery
charge. He said that having leased the
farm he drove to Windsor after some
household goods which he had there and
that while he was away his wife decided
to leave him and packed her trunk and
left town. He left the horse at the
George Thomas farm where his father
works, and came to the village to tel
ephone in regard to his wife. His wife
having left he had no further use for
the farm, so he gave up the lease. He
also gave up the horse and Mr. Gilman
took the animal from the Thomas farm.

OBJECTS TO HOSPITAL.
with other Trustees Of Prospective
Austine Sanitarium.


with other Trustees of Prospective
Austine Sanitarium.
The incorporators of the Austine San
itarium met in the Vermont National
bank Saturday night at the request of
First Selectman James f. Hooker, who
wished to know If they could be dis
suaded from their avowed purpose to
establish in Brattleboro a hospital for
consumptive patients with the fund OF
$50, 900 bequeathed to the town in trust
by Col. william Austine. Mr.. Hooker
is a member of the corporation by being
first selectman of the town. The other
members are Drs. George F. Gale, A. /.
Miller and George r. Anderson, and
Col c. A. Miles and George c. Averill.
DIR. Miller was not present at the meeting.
Mr. Hooker stated that. so far as he
had observed, majority of the business
men. laboring men and citizens generally
were opposed to the idea of establishing
a consumptives' hospital i'm Brattleboro,
and said that he was opposed to II him
self because he thought 1t would be
detrimental to the town for the reason
that 1t would keep away summer visit
ors and would be damaging to the towns
reputation In support of his contention
he cited the conditions in other towns
where similar institutions have been
established. He held that the purpose
to receive state aid, as expressed in the
acts of incorporation, (see act No. 227 Of
the state laws of 1900 thus making it
in effect a state institution. would result
in a greater harm than with a private
institution. None of the other incorpor-
held agreed with Mr.. Hooker They
held that n hospital for consumptives
would not act as a detriment to the town.
Mr.. Hooker suggested that the money
be used to establish a hospital for the
treatment of chronic cases such as par
alysis, cancer, nervous prostration due to
age, etc. No decision was reached.
Mr.. Hooker is firmly Of the opinion that
the town does not want the beuuest If
it is to be used in the way the incorporat
ors intend, and he says he will have the
matter brought up in town meeting If
necessary.
The beduest is given to the town in
trust for the establishment of a hos
pital for the temporary treatment of
strangers and local invalids peculiarly
situated" so 1t is not necessary that the
patients be suffering from consumption.
The statutes provide that trust funds be-
queathed to a town shall be in charge of
board of trustees elected by the town.
In view of that statute Selectman Hooker
has notified Howard NJ. Eustis of Ala
bama, executor Of the will, that the money,
when it is available, must be turned
over to the town treasurer unless trust
ees shall have been elected.

Meningitis at Hartford.

Exaggerated reports of the existence
of cerebro spinal meningitis in the town
of Hartford and especially in White
River Junction are in circulation Two
genuine cases have been developed, and a
third case of what was supposed to
be meningitis is now considered some-
thing else. All these have occurred since
Saturday. A boy of years, son of
Charles E. McAlmon, of West Derry, N.
H., who was visiting at Clarence Hack
etts, died Monday night. An eighteen
monts-old child of George Watson, bar
keeper at Sargent's hotel, West Lebanon.
is very i'll at its grandfather's, Fred
Hacketts, at the lower end of the juno
ton, and the attending physician thinks
that the case is hopeless. AS a
precautionary means, the school direc-
tors have ordered the high and grade
rooms of the high school in the village
closed for one week from Monday.

The chemists at the state laboratory
at Burlington are busy examining samples
of maple sugar and syrup under the pro-
vision of the new pure food law. These
samples have been picked un in open
market and have come from all parts of
the state. Nearly every sample has been
found to be pure, which is in marked
contrast to samples analysed in previous
years before the pure food law was enact
ed. The names, addresses of dealers and
the name of the articles of food found
upon examination to have been adultered
will be published in full in the June num-
Der of the bulletin issued by the state
board of health. 1t is thought that not
in years there has been such a fine
quality of maple product harvested as
at the present time.

Rev, F. W. Lewis, the retiring pastor
of the Methodist church in Brattleboro,
has worthiy won his promotion as pre-
siding elder, as, in addition to his pastoral
duties for years, his activities have cover
ed a wide range of work in connection
with the Vermont Methodist conference.
Mr.. Lewis was born in MiddleseX, TINS
state, Oct. 81, 1852. the son of Col. Albert
r. and Emily (EIalD Lewis. His grand
father was DR.. Joseph Lewis, jr., and his
great-grandfather DR.. Joseph Lewis,
surgeon in the Revolutionary war, VINO
attended Gen. Montgomery at his death.
Rev. Mr.. Lewiss mother died when he
was but four years old, and since early
boyhood he has had his own way to make
in life. He was educated in the public
schools of this state and Massachusetts
and in two private schools but a large
part of his mental equipment was received
through private study, and a former pre-
siding elder of the ST. Johnsbury district,
in an interview for publication a few
years ago, spoke of him as one OF the
best educated young men of the district.
He has spent some time in teaching,
and has served as superintendent OF
schools and in other offices connected
with educational work. His first pastor
ate was in Topsham, and he subsequently
held appointments in Gaysville, Stowe,
Perkinsville, Weathersfeld, Weston, Ran
dolph, Barton Bradford, Bellows Falls
and Brattleboro He was offered the
charge at st. Adams four years ago, but
declined on account of the work in which
he was then engaged. His pastoral work
has been highly successful as he improved
the standing and condition of the several
churches, and in some cases received a
large number of members. Benevolent
contributions have been increased under
his direction, debts have been paid, and
the church property improved. Two OF
his pastorates were for five years each
one of them terminating then only be-
cause the time limit then in vogue had
been reached.
In a conference which is composed
largely of college and seminary trained
men, he has held a position on the board
of examiners for more than Is years, has
had charge of the statistical work sew
eral years as statistical secretary, and is
now serving his seventh year as secretary
of the conference, the bishops and Others
having rated him as one of the best men
in that capacity in the entire denomina-
ton. He has been for several years a
member of the committee on conference
relations which virtually decides who
shall be admitted to the conference on
probation or in full connection, and other
important questions. He has also filled
various other positions of trust and re-
sponsibility, and last year was elected on
the first ballot a delegate to the general
conference in San Francisco at the head
of the Vermont delegation. No other
member now on the effective list has had
the compliment of an election on the first
ballot except Rev. DR., Nutter.

A Mexican confined in the branch county jail made escape yesterday morning by digging through the wal at the rear of the structure from the pen On the inside, whsre he was at freedom.
 He is said to have made his way through the brick wall of the struct- ure by tie use of the handle of a spoon, with which be dug out the mor- tar between the brick, then finding 1t a comparatively easy matter to re move them. The hole made was large enough to easily allow of. the passage of his body. He is supposed to have spent most of the night at the work ot removing the brick. Notice of the es- cape was given by negro confined in the jail, who shouted at the top of his voice after the Mexican had gone. The negro and ether prisoners loose in the pen spent yesterday viewing the out side world through the hole, but made no attempt to escape. None of them have more than few days longer to serve.
 The Mexican who escaped was one of three Hho were arrested several weeks ago in an old tunnel hetween the city and Lowell op complaint of an alleged opium fiend who had been sleeping in the tunnel. This man brought word to the city that the Mex cans were in the tunnel with an over coat stolen at Lowell The .oyercoat was found when;arrest of the Mexicans was made
 
 Constable White said last night that there was no evidence whatever against the Mexican who escaped upon which he could have been convicted. The story current in athe city yester- day that the man was being he'd be- cause of the belief of the officers that he was the murderer of the Mexican girl killed on Naeo road recently was declared by the officer to be absolute ly without foundation. He is nrmly rof the opinion that the man Lopez now in jail at Tombstone is the murderer. Had there been any serious cnarge against the man who escaped, the of licer stated that he would have been confined in cell, from which he could not have escaped.

SUBWAY CLEANING.
Proceeds SIowly-Has Now Reached
 the Foot of Brewery.

Subway cleaning has progressed in the ten days that it has been under way to the foct Of Brewery street. At this point boards have been taken from the covering to give the workmen air. The stench coming from this opening is almost overpowering.
 A solid fill of gravel and sand seven feet high, reeking with sewage. has been taken from the subway up to the point that the work has now reached. At this point the fill at present being dug out is on level with the roadway of Brewery. It continues gaining in height slowly to the fire house, where IL is nearly at the roof of the subway.
