of unusual interest, and very largely
attended. Mrs. Anna Somerville Cross
was at her best and rendered several Sc
lections most acceptably. She refused
all compensation and captivated her au-
dience by her gracious manner, and the
artistic melody of her voice. Her friend,
Miss Brown, accompanied her most ac-
ceptably, and gave a number of piano
solos in addition. -Four young girls of
the Ramage family amused the audience
by an excellent rendering of "The Milk
maid"; Frank o. French gave literally OF
his inimitable readings and elected
rounds OF hearty applause by both sing
ing and recitation. Wehave partially
for home talent and heard with great
pleasure a reading by Miss Anne Smith,
and song by Miss Nellie Stiles. Re-
freshments were served and the receipts
netted $25.
On Sunday evening the Biblical drama

St. Iohnsbury s. Littleton l.

On Saturday the local team redeemed
themselves by defeating Littletons on
their grounds by the score of 6 to 1.
Laird was on the mound for St. Johns
bury and he had the home team at his
mercy at all times, at least twice pulling
out of tight places with three Littleton
men on the bags and only one down.
"Wall' Richards was at the receiving end
of the battery and he made good with a
vengeance. His sallies from behind the bat
kept the players and fans good-natured
and he also had a stunt or two which
were not advertised beforehand. In the
fifth, with one down and the bases full
Wall conceived the idea of dropping the
third strike, the batter being out any
way for tanning with runner on each
corner When he dropped the ball the
runner on third, not having in mind the
rule in regard to the batter being out
and thinking he was forced, beat it for
home but met Richards on the
path with the ball in his hand and
the side was retired. Skip" Carr was
after everything within mile of second
and short and third were taken care ofin
perfect style by "Chuck" Hill and Dan
Kearns. Peck played his usual steady
game at the first corner, keeping every
thing inside the lines that was headed
for him, and he also had couple of sim
giles chalked up opposite his name. The
outfeld was well taken care OF, as would
be expected, by Lynch, Higgins, and Van
Dyke.
For Littleton, Baker was sent to the
firing line, but the management realized
their mistake in the third and he got the
hook, leaving the bases full and two
down. Lynch was substituted and he let
in one run before the side was retired.
He pitched great ball during the nextfive
innings, only two more ITALICS being cred
tied to St. Johnsbury, one in the fifth and
another in the sixth. There was some
sharp fielding on both sides, while our
boys held a decided lead at the bat, get
ting 7 hits as against Littleton's 4.
The game was called in the eighth to
allow St. Johnsbury to catch their train.

Death of Miss Woodruff.

Emma Louise Woodruff, daughter of
Rev. Mrs. Woodruff, who died at Bright
look Hospital, St. Johnsbury, last
Wednesday, was born in 1878. AS a
child she was full of health, and active,
and had keen sense OF humor. AS a
pastime she was found of reading. The
first attack of rheumatism came on very
suddenly at about 16 years of age. 1t
was called inhamatory and lasted for
weeks. After this Louise entered board
ing school. She was fond of sports and
entered into the society of young people
with vigor. The second attack was
about year and half later and affect
ed the Joints in the same way as the
first. This time she was confined with it
longer, and unable, as during the first,
to walk for some time Different treat
ments were resorted to but the rheuma-
tism never quite left her system. While
living in Ohio a short time after, Louise,
at the advice of specialist went to Gilt
ton Springs Sanitarium. At first she
gained in health but rheumatism, having
become chronic, the dampness OF rainy
summer aggravated the disease. In the
winter of 1S99-1900 the third attack
came on and settled in the spine. Since
that time Louise was never able to walk.
Early in 1900 she left the sanitarium for
the home in Brookton, N. Y. She went
about in wheel chair and her recreation
consisted of reading, the society of her
friends, and corresponding. Her own
room was made CHEEKY with pictures and
paintings and china often the handi
work of some friend. Her room was
very seldom without flowers of some
kind. In her wheel chair she used to
attend church and was alwaysinterested
in the young peoples society of Christian
Endeavor, and would help plan and give
suggestions about the work. In the
autumn of 1905 Louise came to st.
Tohnsburv. In the winter she went to
Brightlook Hospital. All through her
sickness she suffered considerably but
kept remarkably CHEEKY. The funeral
service was held at Loren F. Miners,
Thursday, Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks
taking charge Music was furnished by
the young people, who often went in to
sing to her. The floral tributes were
many and beautiful Mrs. Woodruff
accompanied the remains to Little Val
ley, N. Y, Friday morning.
