reasons of state 1t is quite generally
believed among those who keep in touch
with Roumanian affairs that King
Charles is a very sick man and that his
death is only matter of weeks, perhaps
of days
King Charles was born April 20, 1899
and is therefore 81 years of age. He
was elected to the throne of ROumania
with hereditary succession on April =.
1866 though it was not until fifteen years
later that he was proclaimed King. He
belongs to the non-reigning branch of the
HOhenzOllernS and at the time OF his
election to the throne he was sublieu-
tenant in the Second Prussian dragons
He was recognized by the great powers
six months after his election.
His reign of forty years has been
marked by internal discussions and par
liamentary crises. But King Charles
has a strong hand and a strong mind
and lie has usually emerged from his
troubles successfully. He is acknOWl-
edged TO be a great soldier, clever
statesman and, on the whole, a popular
sovereign.
In 1869 King Charles was married to
Princess Elizabeth Won Neiwied, who is
better known as Carmen SYLVIA" the
writer of many stories and poems. The
marriage did not prove felicitous one.
and for years the King and Queen have
been eStranged.
The estrangement arose in great
measure from the notorious Helen Vaca-
rescu episode, in which the Queen be-
haved in such a manner as to almost
cost King Charles his throne. Since that
time Queen Elizabeth has made her resi-
dence almost wholly at her castle of
Pelesch leaving to the crown princess
the social duties of the court at Blu
chareSt.
Who Will Be Next Ruler?
The death of King Charles will bring
the Crown Prince Ferdinand to the
throne. AS King Charles was without
issue an act was passed some years ago
settling the succession to the throne
upon his elder BROTHER, Prince Leopold
of Hohenzollern-Sigma He, how
ever, renowned his rights in favor of his
son, Prince Wilhelm, who, in 1885, also
renowned his rights.
The right of succession thus passed to
Prince Ferdinand, brother of Prince
Wilhelm, and he by royal decree was
created Prince of Roumana, in 1888.
Prince Ferdinand was born August "a
1865, and was originally, intended to
spend his life as a German soldier.
In 1898 Prince Ferdinand was married
to Princess Marie, the beautiful daugh-
ter of the late Duke of Sake oburg and
.Gotha. She is a granddaughter of the
late Queen Victoria and of the late Gar
Alexander H., and has often been spoken
of as the most beautiful princess of Eu-
rope.

A clipping from the Woonsocket, r. L.,
Evening Reporter of March II will be of
interest locally as Mr.. Farwell lived IL
years OF his boyhood here, received his
education in this town. and will be re-
membered by many of the older residents:
Frederick s. Farwell, one OF the best
known mill men of this state, who died
at his home at Warwick Saturday after
an illness of but a few days, was at his
mill Thursday afternoon, and that night
was attacked by pneumonia, to which he
gradually succumbed. Mr.. Farwell was
born at Newfane, VT, Jan. IL, 1913, and
removed to this state in 1861. He was
the son of Lemuel Farwell and Amy
Ballou walden, his ancestry on both sides
being traced to the oldest settlers of New
England. His mother was native of
Gloucester. At the age Of IL ne went
TO Millvile, Mass, and entered the
wooden mill to learn the art of weaving.
After five years, which he spent in mas
tering all the details of the various de-
partments of the business he moved to
Uxbrtdge, Mass, and was employed in
the Sayles mill and Graniteville mill He
afterward moved to Pascoag. At the
termination of his first year A. L. Sayles
of Pascoag rendered to Mr.. Farwell the
position of superintendent of his mills,
which he accepted and filled nine years,
when he resigned In 1878 he formed a
partnership with William Tinkham, pur-
chasing the Harrisville mills and estab-
fishing himself as a manufacturer and
soon built up a reputation for fancy
worsted suitings that extended throughout
the country In 1884 Mr.. Farwell sold
his interests to Mr.. Tinkham and entered
into partnership with Charles Fletcher,
assuming the operation Of the National
Worsted mill at Olneyville the deceased
introducing and experimenting the weav-
ing department. In 1891 Mr.. Farwel pur-
chased Mr. Fletcher's interests in the
mill, and although the firm had become
corporation. Mr.. Farwell as the largest
stakeholder practically conducted the
business. Two years later the National
Worsted mills were consolidated with
the Providence Worsted mills with an
authorized capital of 81, OO0, 900. In 1894
he established the Central Falls wooden

Half a block, half a block,
Half a block onward,
Packed into trolley cars
Rode the six hundred
Maidens, and matrons hale
Tall spinsters, slim and pale,
On, to the Bargain Sale,
Rode the six hundred.
Autos to right of them,
Hansoms to left of them,
Flying trains over them
Ratified and Numbered.
Forward, through all the roar,
On, through the crowd they bore,
To Price and Sellers store
Rode the six hundred.
When at the mart of trade,
Stern-faced and unafraid,
Oh the wild charge they made!
All the clerks wondered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
But just to pacify
All the six hundred!
On bargains still intent,
Homeward the buyers went,
With cash and patience spent,
And friendships sundered.
What though their hats sport dents
What though their gowns show rents
They have saved thirty cents;
Noble six hundred.

Plea for Financial Aid for Leland and
Gray Seminary.

There are some pertinent facts brought
| out In an editorial printed in the last
issue Of the Leland and Gray Seminary
Messenger that are worthy the attention
ana consideration Of any who may be in
tereSted IN higher education and especially
| in the progress Of the seminary that IS
located in our village, Here are some ex-
| tracts from Il: THE fact that Leland
and Gray seminary holds a worthy place
in the educational history of Southern
| Vermont cannot be questioned, but l be-
lieve there is n question as to whether
1t VIII continue to exist upon its past
record, or will progress to meet the de-
mands OF the present time. II is evident
that an Institution for academic education
In this section is imperative. Vermont
academy draws its students from several
states, while our academy is more de-
cidediy local. II holds a unique place
occupying the position Of high school for
the large number OF small villages and
towns along the West river and in the
surrounding country. with its present
endowment the school can hardly expect
TO keep abreast of the times-furnishing
the same facilities. Offering equal adj
Vantages, and producing the same grade
OF work as other similar schools which
have anywhere from five to 20 times as
large an endowment"
III IL Is true that Leland and GRAY is
the high school for this section / thInl,
the people of the section should arouse
themselves to a fuller realization OF the
value OF the school to themselves and
to their children. and go down into their
pockets TO raise an endowment which
would place their school on a firm 6nan-
clal basis. and enable II to send out young
men and young women as well equipped
for life's work or for higher education
as those from other schools Would IL
be possible for the alumni and friends of
the academy in each of the towns of this
section to organize societies to arouse
interest to spread knowledge OF the
needs Of the academy. and to obtain gifts
for the establishment OF a large endow-
ment fund?
There are two other essentials to the
progress of Leland and Gray-a gym
nasium and a better library. which, If
they can be secured, will mean much to
the students of the academy.

Rabies.


1t is a relief to one bitten by dog to
know whether the animal was mad OF
not--a thing impossible to discover, here
tofore, because the common way has
been to kill the animal instead of keep
ing him chained in a yard to discover II
rabies would develop, and in any case
there is a long interval of suspense. DR.
Wilson, the head of the New York city
health department, believes he has dis
covered a way by which 1t can be told
in 20 minutes by microscopic eXamina-
ton of the brain, whether any suspected
animal really has rabies. In case mad
ness is proved, the victim of the bite car
repair to the Pasteur institute. In case
there is no indication of hydrophobia-
and usually there is none-he will not be
subject to the nervousness and fear that
are the portion of those who can only
guess whether they are menaced WITH
the disease or not Hydrophohia Is one
Of the rarest al disorders. and even the
bite of a rahid animal Is by no means
certain to result in Its communication tC
the human or other subject.
