Death Of Archibald Mack.

This community was shocked last week
Thursday evening at the sudden death
from heart disease of Archibald Mack
Several years ago he suffered greatly
from heart trouble, but the past year
had been much better, and on Thursday
spoke of feeling unusually we'll. About
o'clock in the evening his little grand
son. Don Eddy, found him lying on the
lounge and became alarmed when his
grandfather did not speak to him. When
the doctor arrived he said that death
was undoubtedly instantaneous.
Mr.. Mack was born in Windham Feb
s, 1882, and, with the exception Of few
years spent in the West when a young
man, had always lived in town. He
possessed a pleasing tenor voice, which
retained its sweetness and clearness even
after his body became feeble. His fond
ness for flowers was remarkable and every
summer his yard, full Of flowers was the
admiration of all passers-by. He was a
good citizen and neighbor and his bright,
witty sayings were quoted far and near.
Familiarity known as Arch" he was a
friend to old and young alike and will be
greatly missed.
Mr.. Mack was a veteran of the civil
war, having been a corporal in company G,
18th Vermont regiment. In 1851 he
married Lydia Gould, who died in 1891.
Six children were born to them, three
sons who died in infancy and three

Edison and Miss Elva Mack, who survive

of Minnesota. and eight grandchildren to

HALIFAX.
The late Mrs. Harriet A. Willard.

Harriet A, wife of the late James
Willard, entered into rest April 20 at the
age of "A years. Her parents were James
and Lucinda (Wilcox) Stanclift. She was
from family of five children, two boys
and three girls, being the last one. One
brother, Isaac Stanclift of Spencer, N. Y,
lived until about two years ago. She
was born in Halifax. Her parents died
when she was but child. She went to
Marlboro and lived with her uncle and
aunt, Solomon and Abigail Stanclift, I'M
til her marriage at the age of Is years
to James Willard of Halifax and returned
to her native town, where she spent the
remainder of her life. Her husband died
about seven years ago. They had seven
children, six of whom survive; the oldest,
son, died at the age of ten years. Her
life was one of constant toll as long as
health permitted, and, unselfsh devotion
to her family. She was a woman of many
excellent traits of character, a Christian
in the true sense. Hampered by disease
and helplessness many of her last years,
she was shut-in from the world, but bore
1t all with remarkable patience and
Christian fortitude, never complaining,
ever ready to go, but still waiting patient
ly the Divine will in which she fully trust
ed. Her absent children visited her as
often as possible, which was a great COM
fort to her, her home being with her
youngest daughter, Mrs. Hosea Fisher.
At her request, Rev. c. S. Sherman of
East Dover officiated at the funeral which
was held from the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hosea Fisher April 23, at l p. M, she
having selected the fourteenth chapter
Of John to be read, also Mark 2: for the
basis of the very appropriate remarks by
the pastor. He spoke very feelingly,
drawing some practical lessons from the
life of the departed, showing that bodily
helplessness was not the worst calamity.
A quartet feelingly sang three selections
two of them. wait and murmur not
and "A Home on High" being her selec-
ton.
There were many flowers from loving
ones, among them a beautiful pillow
enscribed Mother" from her children,
who in her life had done what they could
do for her comfort and to tighten her
burden. Much sympathy is felt for them,
especially Mrs. Fisher, who has been i'll
all winter.

w. w. Rockhill, the newly appointed
American minister to China, and a well
known Eastern traveller and author,
says that the present population Of China,
instead Of being, as it is usually given,
nearly 450000,00O, is probably not much
over 250,000,000. The census of 1741,
which Mr.. Rockhill considers more trust
worthy than any other, shows 143, 200, 900.
Considering the numerous devastating
famines and wars Of the succeeding $50
years, the natural annual increase would
be small Far from being overpopulated,
many portions Of China could support a
greatly increased population.

A WELL KNOWN CONGREGATIONAL
 MINISTER.

Rev Timothy A. Haven, 79, a retired Congregational minister, of 82 Prince ton street, Springfield, Mass, died Saturday morning at his home, after 8 lingering illness from complication of diseases. He had been an invalid for many years and abandoned active ministerial duties for that reason. Rev MT Hazen was born at Agawam, and he secured his preparatory education in the Westfield schools. After leaving the public schools he entered Williams college, from which he was graduated with the class of 1S49. After his grad ation he spent three years as principal of the Lenox academy, following which he attended the East Windsor (Ct. ] theological seminary for one year. He then began course of study at Union Theological seminary of New York City, from which he was graduated with the class of 1853. A year later he was ordained to the ministry. His first charge was at Dalton, and afterward he filled pastorates successively at Broad Brook, Ct., South Egremont, Housatonic, Goshen, Ct., Interlaken and Great Harrington. In 1853 he was married to Miss Sarah A. Ives of Lenox, and two years ago they celebra- ted their golden wedding. Besides his widow he is survived by one sister, Mrs Sarah Hazen Smith of Bridgeport. The funeral was held at Springfield. Monday, Rev MT Woodrow of Hope Congregational church officiating

The OUTLOOK.


 Panama The resignation of
 Affairs. Chief Engineer Wal lace from tho Panama position and his rebuke from Secretary Taft have led to some disclosures concerning condi- tions in the canal zone. It is mani fest that Panama is not a very healthy place. When they drop the scoop in the steam shovel, it shows lot of hu- man bones of some former digger un- der the French regime. They have the measles, black measles, yellow fe- yer, chagres fever, malaria, and the bubonic plague down there and the men who are going to Panama have to give up their life insurance policies for they are not good risks at all. Some of the six hundred men who recently returned from Panama say that more digging is being done in the grave yard than in the Culebra cut. A dead train runs every day from Colon and it does not run empty. It is evident that the canal country is not health resort just at present and it is also evil dent that one of the first things to do for the American ditch diggers will be to follow the example of the occu- patton of Havana and first clean up the country. It is no easy job that we have undertaken in trying to build the Panama canal. It will take time and treasure and human life. The he- roes of peace will have to die for this advantage to navigation, but there are heroes of peace as well as heroes of war. Perhaps Sec'y Taft would find that some of his patriotism would ooze out of him if he had to live where the thermometer was hundred and twen. ty in the shade.
 New Prof Franklin H.
 Idea In Giddings of the Education. chair of sociology ir Columbia University--recently shot of a new idea in. education at an address given before the teachers 1t AsburJ Park. It is to the effect that the state should pay parents who keep theil children in school between the ages oI ten andlfourteen. Evidently the fool are not all dead yet, for an educator who looks on a ten year old child as proper wage earner might be said tt deserve the mad-house. Any suci plan of paying for child's time b! the state so that the parent may de rive revenue from it presupposes tha the main interest which 8 parent ha' in bis child is to make dollar out o him. Such an idea of money value il children is Mammon run mad. How fine it will be, to be sure, to have p and ma ride around in an automobil bought with the money that John an' Mary and Susan earned by going t j school. No, Professor, your schem will not work. It is too much lik < baby insurance. Let parents, as the
 have done since the world began, mak ' sacrifices for their children in givin
