Death Of Mrs. John Marsh.


Mrs. Martha Jane (Way), widow of the
late John Marsh, died Friday morning at
her residence on Central street at the ad-
vanced age OF S5 years. During the win
ter, che had seemed to yield more and
more to an increasing feeblenes5 and to
lose gradually that strong hold on life
which an unusually vigorous constitution
had enabled her to maintain SO long.
Towards the last short but severe attack
OF bronchitis hastened the inevitable end.

Lettice (Auls) Way. She first married
Samuel Spofford and to them was born
son, Samuel Spofford, Jr., who died in

husband was Appleton Thomas, and of
this union there survives one son, Apple
ton Thomas, Jr., OF Boston, who has devot-
ed himself to the care OF his mother In this
last year OF her life, when the failing force
OF self reliant nature made her peculiarly
sensible of the comfort OF his presence.
Her third marriage was to John Marsh OF
Randolph, whose death occurred nearly
ten years ago. Mrs. Marsh was bright,
active woman, OF good business ability,
and retained her strength Of mind and
body to remarkable degree despite the
encroaching infrmites Of age. She was
of a CHEEKY disposition and social nature
| that enabled her to keep an unwaDing in
terest in the affairs OF life. She had lived
in town for AZ years.
Besides her son, she left four nieces and
three nephews-Mrs. w. l.. Hebard OF the
Center, Mrs. Homer Van Deusen OF Rox-
bury, Mrs. S. L. Allen Of Barre, Mrs. Ella
| Way Richmond OF Boise, Idaho, Loren and
Arthur Ferdinand and w. I. Way Of Bos-
ton.
The funeral service was at the house
Monday afternoon, Rev. Fraser Metzger Of
Bethany church being the officiating cler-
gyman. Burial was in Southview ceme-
terry and the bearers we're A. Il. Dean, III.
8. Booth, /. s. Chase and 9. Il. Kilburn.
Beautiful floral tributes covered the cas-
| ket.
The relatives from away at the service
were the son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Appleton Thomas, and the daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Samuel Spofford, OF Boston; Mr..
and Mrs. s. Il. Allen OF Barre and Mrs.

President Roosevelt, the diplomatic.

participated Friday in the opening OF the
Jamestown exposition, before an assem-
blage Of $4,000 people. The exposition IL
still far from complete. II viii continue

his notable address, delivered in the open
sir, from the top OF q shaky table, with
the wind blowing q gale. II was replete
with strong utterances, pertinent 10 the
occasion and TO the leading questions OF
the hour. The president barely prevented
a panic, resulting from the crush to get
near HIM, by shouting with all his force,
appealing TO the gallantry OF the men and
directing the placing OF military TO keep
the crowds back. There was an impress
sive array OF American warships and
squadrons OF British, German, Austrian
and Argentine vessels. These were re-
viewed by the president, saluting him as

magnates held Friday at Pittsbnrg, Pa,
Melville Z. Ingalls,, chairman OF the board
OF directors Of the Big Four system, said

ton to this, shooting, trapping, a7d
poisoning easily keeps down the
adults.
The wolves discovered In the course
of the seasons work had families of
from two to twelve pups, and, as the
average estimate of damage was
81 900 per wolf per year, it was easy
to see that a wolf family ON a ranch
was an expensive luxury. Governor
Brooks of Wyoming said that in one
season he paid bounties of $40 each
on fifty wolves on his ranch and con-
sidered it a good investment.
Not a Product Of Forest Reserve.
Another interesting fact developed
by the investigation was that the
wolves were not a product of the for
est reserves. They seemed to breed
exclusively in the foothills, and of the
breeding dens located by Mr.. Bailey
II Western Wyoming not one was
within the area of the forest reserves.
The report on the wolves covers the
cost and protective value of wolf

and trapping and formulas for scents
valuable in batting and trailing the
traps. The rather curious fact was
developed that while q well-develop-
ed wolf can easily clear six or seven
feet, they will not jump a FIVE foot
fence, seeming to have a suspicion OF
it as a sort of trap. The same thing
has been discovered in regard to coy
otes and jack rabbits, and many Of the
vineyard men of the Pacific coast
have found that an eighteen inch fence
is ample protection against jack rab
bit that ca4 clear six feet without any
trouble
Mrs. Bailey has sent in a number of
wolves and wolf pups to the washing
ton Zoo and is on very friendly terms
with number of the big fellows who
have grown up from puppies, but this
is a particular form of intimacy that
is not initiated by any of the other Of
ficials of the department who visit
his pets out there.-Texas Stockman

lawyer Gleason denied it most en-
phatically.
An attempt made by Jerome to
have a commission in lunacy appoin-
ted to examine Thaw will be vigor-
ously opposed by Thaw's attorneys.

"RELATiON OF SOUTH
TO PENDING PROBLEMS

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 22.-The prin-
cipal address at the annual exercises
today, commemorative of the opening
of Johns Hopkins University was de
Hvered by Ranlis Taylor, former
minister to Spain. His subject was,
Relation of the South to Pending
Problems" He regarded the thir
teenth amendment to the Constitu
ton as a declaration of independence
because II set the South free from a
dying institution. The first great mis-
take, he declared, was the enfran-
cnisement Of those entirely unprepar-
ed for citizenship. The basic principle
upon which the new Southern Con
stitution rests Is he said, that as
fast as their colored citizens become
qualified by education or property
OF both, for the franchise they should
be endowed with it The South, Tay
lor maintained, had reaped tremen
dous benefit from territorial expan
sion.

authoritatively, although unofhcially
reported in local 'aaval circles that

fleet on the Pacific coast will be in
augurated by dispatching the battle
ships Indiana and Iowa at an early
date to this city. The new battle ship
Nebraska, now nearly finished at Sc
attic, and the battle ships Wisconsin
and Oregon, being extensively over
hauled at Puget Sound navy yard
These five battle ships may be re-
inforced during the next few months

Prof. Matteucoi, of the Vesuvius OBJ
servatory, is quoted as declaring
that at the end of March the sub
Marthett will come in contact with
the eart1s atmosphere, with conse-
quences probably dangerous to the
earth The professor is of the opinion
that the change will be brief, but it
may be acute. If the earth comes into
collision with the comets tail, the
earth's atmosphere may possibly
cause ignition and destroy life.
