evening he complained Of not feeling
very well. This morning when he
failed TO respond to calls, his daughter
went to his room and found him dead.
The cause was heart trouble, with which
DE had been affected more or less for
some time.
The announcement came as grear
shock TO his associates on the bench, to
the members of the bar and to his host
of friends throughout the county. Coun-
ty court took immediate adjournment

The court had planned to complete its
term to-day.

while he was in Montpelier to attend
to his court duties. He was born in

NEXT SUNDAY
CLOSING DAY
Expected Nearly All Meat
Dealers Will Take Advan-
tage of Opportunity.
THREE MAY REFUSE TO.
ONE OF RECALCIrRANT DEAL
Frs IN EVENT OF ARREST MAY
TEST THE SUNDAY CLOSING
LAW.

Meat dealers have received notice
from the committee of the Ministerial
association that next Sunday is the
day fixed by the committee for the
general closing of all meat shops and
groceries which handle meat The
dealers are asked to notify their pa
irons to this effect. The committee
has received favorable replies to its
requests from all but three of the
dealers. Although, in the communi-
cations sent to the newspapers, the
committee does not even suggest in
them that legal action will be taken to
force the three recalcitrant dealers to
get into line, yet this probably will be
the result, as the authorities are now
working shoulder to shoulder with the
Ministerial association.
The three dealers, in the commune
cation of the ministers are said to have
but small trade. One OF these mer-
chants is located on South Seventh
street; another on Fl. Woyne avenue,
and the third in the south part of the
city. Whether it is believed by them
that they will profit by remaining open
at the expense of the other dealers, or
whether 1t is to defy the ministers, is
not apparent. 1t is believed, howev.
er, that both attitudes prompt the re-
fusals. One Of the dealers in question

was several years ago arrested for
keeping open on Sunday, but was ac-
quilted by jury on the charge of vio-
lation of the Sunday closing law. The
jury held that it was a public necessi-
ty for the meat markets to keep open
ON Sunday because of the inability of
many consumers to keep meats from
Saturday night until Sunday morning,
owing to lack of ice. 1t is understood
that this dealer intends to make this
plea his defense providing he is arrest
ed in the future for violating the law.
The Ministerial committee has not
used "bull-dozing' means to obtain the
results, as is apparent in the communi-
cation hereinafter given. 1t has tried
to be perfectly fair and just with the
dealers. The committee members feel
that the dealers should not complain
of the methods INDUCED in by them
to secure general Sunday closing.
The communication is as follows:
To the Meat Dealers of Richmond:
We have, as we believe, ascertained
the position Of all the meat dealers in
the city, dncluding those grocers who
handle meat on Sunday closing, with
the following result, twenty-eight
agree to close providing all others do
the same.
OF these, four have already closed
without waiting the result of the can
vas. Seven others living in Fairview
have agreed among themselves to
close. And three others living In West
Richmond, will close next Sunday.
Only three have refused to close.
But as these three are among the
smaller dealers, and their keeping open
Will but slightly fleet a very few of
those who close, and as the sentiment
in favor of closing is SO very general
and as SO many have already closed,
we feel justified in fixing on Sunday.
December 81 as the day for general
closing.
And we request that all dealers no.
tify their patrons of their intention to
close next Sunday.
While not entirely satisfied, yet we
are pleased with the result of our work
so far. And we are hoping that the
three who have so far refused, will
soon be with us.
We request all law abiding citizens
to encourage the meat dealers In their
purpose to close.
Every laboring man should have

THE HOUSE
Old Fashioned Dinner Bell Re-
vived-A Dish Rack.
USEFUL WHEN SERVING CHOPS
A New Gridiron Promises to RevoIu-
tionize the Art Of Broiiing Steaks.
II Is Easy to Clean and Can 30
Taken Apart If Desired.


That all softening,
Overpowering knell,
The tocsin of the soul
The dinner bell.
OF mission oak and brass is the din
der bell seen in the illustration. Fash
toned like the old 'town bells used
in the villages during colonial days and
by English and French peasants to
call town meetings, it is odd and at
tractiye.
The tone Of the brass bell is deep
and rich. The slightest pull on the
leather thong suspended from it will
make it ring long enough to call any
ordinary hungry mortal to dinner.
In mission furnished hall this
would add quaint and artistic touch.
Another new household invention is
the chop rack. How often has the
polish on a dining table been ruined
by an unsightly mark made by the
contact of a hot dish!
Some servants are so careless they
never seem to learn that hot dishes
will mark table unless a thick mat
is placed under them. Now the shops
show a dish rack made especially for
a chop dish, but which can be used for
any other purpose desired, which
holds the hot dish one inch from the
table, thus precluding any possible
harm. to the table from heat.
The rack is Of nickel. which, by the
way, is a good substitute for silver.
1t never becomes furnished and il rub
bed with a hot, damp cloth and dried
quickly it shines like new silver. The
rack is fashioned SO as to make it
easy to place the dish or to remove it.
The handle at the top is to use when
carrying the hot dish to the table.
As chops should always be served
piping hot, this - indeed a solution of
the question Of to obtain the best
results.
\ grooved gridiron that is among the
new things Of the season promises to
reyolutfonize the art Of broiling steaks
or chops.
The new gridiron is provided with .
rest that tilts it in such way that the
steak rests inclines toward the back Of
the stove and terminates in little
trough, into which the gravy finds its
way as 1t courses down the grooves
In this manner not a drop of the juice
of the meat is lost.
The cleverest part of the device Is
the way In which the fire is allowed
TO get at the meat while at the same
time being deprived of Its drippings Of
gravy. A series Of Sits in the sides
Of the grooved channels, at a height
which, while permitting the cooking
to proceed. precludes the possibility OF
the gravy escaping into the fire, make
