Obituary.
Mas. NANCY WILKINSON MASON.

MRS. NANCY WILKINSON MASON.
 Early in the morning of the last day oi September, died peacefully at Pom fret, Conn.,, one Of Windham County's daughters.
 At the ripe age of s6 years Mrs. Nan ey Wilkinson Mason passed away. She was daughter of smith Wilkinson, the founder and pioneer of Putnam.
 Alter years spent in other parts of the country, one year ago she turned her steps towards her old home, where she calmly awaited the summons 10 depart.
 Mrs. Mason was we'll known to many in Pomfret and Putnam, and in all her varied life she spent much time in Pomfret, and her heart always turned back with loving interest to her old home.
 She WAS rare woman, retaining to her old age her sprightly and agreeable manners. her ready wit, and, above all, her great capacity for friendship, and her deep interest in her fellow beings.
 Her hand was always ready to help, and her purse open to all calls.
 She had many sorrows and bore them with patience and Christian fortitude.
 Few had So many friends. and gave in return such devoted friendship.
 The past twenty years she resided in Washington, where many loved and miss her, and where she was the centre Of large circle that she adorned in- deed
 Mrs. Mason left many friends in New England, and she was glad to come back to the scenes of her childhood, and be near the last resting place of those she loved.
 Most of the large family from which she came lie in the quiet, peaceful Put nam cemetery, and there she was laid beside them.
 This little tribute to her memory but faintly tells of her loyal heart and mo- bic deeds. her Christian character and her abiding faith in future life.

 To say that thank you for your act and for your ovation but feebly ex- presses my feelings tonight. If 1 am elected will go to Hartford and rep resent you to the best of my ability. But, gentleman, the day has gone by when a nomination Is synonymous with election. We have got to do something in order to roll up the ma. jonty we should roll up in this grand old town.
 It would be useless for me to attemH to set my record before you. It Is like m open book that any one might rcsd. But for some of the younger ones pres ent, I would say, have been Repub- Hsan since the organization of the par ty. AS boy running along the side- walk, with eyes and mouth open, look ing at the solid ranks ss they marched by, I was filled with an'enthusiasm that hes lasted me all through.
 The Republican party has invaris- bly been on the right side Of every great question. Look back forty years and you will find every law upon the sta tute book, that stands for expansion and elevation, was pat there by the Republican party. So 1 have stood by it. With regard to the part 1 have taken personally, l have ridden all over this grand old Windham county al the. bead of anywhere from one to three hundred men shouting myself hoarse.
 Those times haze gone by, and torch light processions, and the like, are thing. of inc past. We have our lit- tie controversies, and we have been divided on non-essentiais--as we have A perfect right to do, but gentlemen, we are rapidly approaching The essen tial point,--the third Of November when we must get together and roll up one Of those good oid-fashioned Re- publican majoities-
 thank you gentlemen

The late Sir Henry IrvingS q,
NOUS London production Of ssHen-

ing of the infant Princess Elizabeth,
fol- which, of course, large life
like doll was used instead st real
baby. The play had run . good
many nights when one day the
actor received q letter Of protest
from one who made it plain that he
was q firm believer in realism on
the stage.
"The complete success of Henry
VIII was marred last night" the
letter ran, "when the, king Kissed
the baby. The whole house Uttered.
Herewith offer the hire Of one
real baby-my own-for the pur-
pose Of personating the offspring"
It was q delicate matter for Sir
Henry to decline the services Of 4
mans own baby, but with the help
Of his manager, Mr.. Bran stoker,
the famous actor composed . reply
which combined courtesy and hu-
NOR and which has been incorporat-
cd in Personal "reminiscences Of
Henry Irving"
eMr. Irving fears" wrote Mr..
stoker, chat there might be some
difficulty in making the changes
You suggest with regard to the
Princess Elizabeth in the play.
IF reality is to be achieved It
should Of necessity be real reality
and not seeming reality, for that
We have already on the stage. A
series of difficulties then arises, any
Of which you and your family might
find insuperable.
IF your real baby were provided
it might be difficult or even impos-
sible for the actor who impersonates
King Henry VIII. to feel the real
feelings Of father toward it. This
would necessitate your playing tho
part of the king and further would
require that your wife should play
the part of Queen Anne Boleyn.
This might not suit either of you,
especially as in reality Henry VIII.
had afterward his wife's head cut
off.
ITO this your wife might natural
ly object. But even If she were
willing to accept this form of reality
and you were willing to accept the
responsibility on your part Mr..
Irving would, for his own sake, have
to object
'By law if you had your wife de-
capitated you would. be tried for
murder. But as Mr.. Irving would
also be tried as an accessory before
the fact he too, would stand in
danger of ~ life. To this he dis
tinetly objects, as he considers t Il
end aimed at is not worth the risk
involved"
