RECENT DEATHS.
Chaffee.

Willard Porter Chaffee, who departed
this life on Monday evening, Jan. 9Th,
and was laid to rest last Monday alter
noon began to break down in health FIVE
years ago, and has performed but little
labor since that time when he left the
employ of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.
with whom he had worked for thirty
years. Had he lived until the Thursday
OF the week in which he died be would
have been 63 years of age.
Born in Athens, at the age of nineteen
he enlisted in the 18th Vermont Regi-
ment of Volunteers, fighting his way
through the terrible scenes of the war
for nearly four years and soon after his
return he married Miss Abb Proctor of
Lyndon in 1866. After three years
upon his fathers farm which he had pur-
chased he came to st. Johnsbury and
entered the scale works in the beam
room where he had several men under
his own employ when the first partial
shock came and his invalid time began.
Beautiful floral emblems were sent to
the home from the members of the G. A.
R., the Odd Fellows, the N. E. 0. P, the
church and many friends. At the funeral
service held at his late residence on
Lafayette street the pastor of Grace Nd.
E. church, OF which he had been a member
for nearly thirty-six years, spoke of the
great forces which had incorporated
themselves in his beautiful life, the inde-
structibility and divinity of which con-
stitute so firm foundation for our faith
in bis continuance in the world to come
The Rev. John Chaffee, nephew of the
departed, paid loving tribute to the
meek, gentle and blessed spirit which
controlled his uncle. OF too kindly a
nature to have single enemy, his home
life with his wife and two children
will always be remembered by them
and his large circle OF friends for its ex-
ceptional sweetness, pleasantness and
happiness for he was a fond father and a
courtly, gracious, gallant husband. Mr..
Chaffee leaves a sister, Mrs. John A.
Dunn, whose son, Frank c. Dunn, came
to the funeral accompanied by his cousin,
the son OF Mr.. Chaffte's brother, Rev.
John Chaffee, pastor OF the Methodist
church at Wakefield, Mass.
Arthur Chaffte, son of the deceased. was
called from Los Angeles by the sad news
of the fathers death, arriving early last
Sunday morning, but his sister Mrs. F.
R. Ross of Denver, Col, was unable to
be present. Mrs. Chaffee is wonderfully
sustained by the sympathy of friends,
and ''the everlasting arms" of Him who
never leaves us comtortless.

to his prospective absence from the
city, he preached Sunday. On the
subject of child labor he spoke as
follows:
First of all + wish to congratulate
Iowa that it has not hitherto been
found necessary to enact legislation
upon child labor, whereas in other
states it has been found most expedi-
emit But now Iowa would become
blame worthy If it should be forgot
ten that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure; that they who
have been exploiting child labor In
other states and who are now driven
out of those fields will aim at states
like Iowa where there is no legisla-
tfon. Manifestly it is the duty of
Iowa to put itself on record as agree
ing with other states, that the child,
like every one else, must have a
square DEAL Childhood is the time
for learning and growing, not for Ia
boring. Exceptional cases may exist
but laws are made not for the excep-
ton but for the rule.
when, therefore, reasonable legfs-
lation on this subject is proposed in
our state / wish to be on record as
heartily in favor of it. This is plat
form on which Catholics must be
happy and stand side by side with
Protestants and Jews. We must be
thankful that there are some such
platforms and this is one of them
"I wish, therefore, that our Catholic
people should make it distinctly un-
derstood that for love of the child
Jesus, they are distinctly in favor OF
all reasonable legislation concerning
child labor"

PAYS FOR TAKING WIFE.
Woman Who Ran Away Long Ago
From Sioux City Dies.

Sioux City, Jan. Is. - Because the
man who eloped with his wife placed
the fortune which he subsequently &C
cumulated in her name, D. E. Douglass
a prosperous farmer living six miles
from Sioux City, has become possess
ed of great wealth.
Fourteen years ago Douglass wife
deserted him and joined G. S. Porter
in California. Porter had boarded with
the Douglass family and had been or
dered away by Douglass who discov-
cred he was making love to his wife.
Douglass did not attempt to pursue
the clipping couple.
Four months ago Douglass heard
that his wife was dead. He consulted
local attorney and upon his advice
went to California to search for her
property. In the end he found Porter
at Los Angeles. He found that his
wife had left property valued at $40,-
600, which Porter claimed as a legiti-
mate Inheritance.
1t seems that Porter, who was a
truck driver in Omaha when he met
the Douglasses, had kept his proper
ty in his wife's name-or, to be ex-
act. in the name of Mrs. Douglass-be.
cause there was an outstanding judg-
ment against him. So far as the
court records showed Porter had no
interest in the property which his in
dustry and management had accumu-
lated. 1t all belonged to Mrs. Doug
lass.
Douglass employed an attorney at
Los Angeles and succeeded in having
the courts decide that the estate left
by Mrs. Douglass rightfully belongs to
him. Douglass has returned to his
Sioux City farm bearing a copy of the
decree of the court and bona fide evil
denees of title to $4,000 worth of Los
Angeles property that formerly stood
in his wife's name.

Catholic and Protestant Should Join./
Dubuque, Jan. 13-The support for
child labor legislation may be aroused,
the educational committee of the wo-
mems club, has induced various
clergymen of this city to speak upon
the subject from the pulpit. The ac-
tivity Of the division is due in part
at least to the fact that its president,
Mrs. John I. Mulany, is member Of
the national committee on child labor
The first of these statements from the
pulpit was by Archbishop Keane, him
self member of the national commit
tee. In the course of his sermon at
ST. Raphael's recently he said
he desired to kgo on record as
favoring necessary and reasonable
legislation, Other sermons upon the
subject will be preached next Sun
day which is to be Child Labor Day
in many of the local pulpits. This
being the second Sunday of the month
the archbishops remarks would have
