Timothy Mclver Taking Voluntary
Treatment at Asylum.

Montpelier, August lS,-Timothy
NcIver of Barre town, candidate for
Congre s in the I'd district ON the SOC

the matter with his mental machinery,
and unaccompanied and without CO.
ercion he has gone to the Waterbury
insane asylum for treatment. He de-
clares he has always paid his bills
and does not intend to ask the state
to pay cent for his treatment. He
has been unable to sleep more than
an hour each night for two months.
He has read all the medical books he
can lay his hands on and has come to
the conclusion that unless he can
cure this insomnia he will go crazy"
Mr.. McIyer admits that he was wor
ried by being discharged as financial
secretary of the quarryworkers' union
and says the charge of graft against
him worried him because 1t was un-
true. He declares that his books
were all right and that they were
never kept in better shape by any
body. He has purchased flute and
some music books, and is trying to
learn to play the instrument as a div
ersion. Mclver is a quarryman.

1902. The Hoosac Valley Street Rail

between this city and Adams which
was operated by horses. This is
what is known as the West Side
line. The following year, Mr.. Rich
mond became manager OF the COM
pany and he began the elcetrification
Of the road.
Later under Mr. Richmonds direc.
ton, the Hoosac Valley Co. extended
its line to Williamstown and to Briggs
vile and finally from Adams to Che
shire, this work being the last that
was done while Mr.. Richmond was
connected with the company.
The Hoosac Valley Street Railway
Co. was absorbed by the Berkshire

Objects to "suffraaette."

ut Is time" observes writer In the
London Chronicle, that me term suf'
fragette was abandoned, as the suffra.
gist movement has taken its serious
place in politics. The word is not
worth preserving. 1t is used as term
OF reproach and does not enrich the
language Women do not want the
vote In order to maintain distinction,
but in order to obliterate 1t. They
want to be suffragists and citizens just
as men are Therefore. we have no
place for such mongrel word as
'suffragette' in our political vocabu-
larry. The latest addition to political
Technology is more useful. 1t is
'platformula' 1t was invented by
John M. Robertson, M. p, and is
intended to describe something rather
indefinite In the way Of political
pledges-something which is partly a
formula which politicians should
adopt and at the same time is sup
posed to have a place in the party

FIRE IN EAST PoWNAL
House Of George Goodwin Destroyed
Monday Night

The house of George Goodwin of
East Pownal was destroyed by fire
Monday night between 8 and 10 o.
clock The origin of the fire is un-
known but it is thought that it was
caused by lightning
About $3.50 in the evening very
sharp fash of lightning occurred and
when Mr.. Goodwin entered the dining
room soon afterwards he discovered
a piece of paper on fire on the window
sill. He at once made a thorough in
vestigation of the house to see II the
lightning had kindled fire anywhere
else but found no trace of fire.
Mr. and Mrs. George Goodwin and
family retired for the night before 9
o'clock. They had not been in bed an
hour when Mrs. Goodwin awoke and
smelling smoke aroused her husband.
When he opened the dining room
door he found the room all ablaze. In
a few minutes the whole house was on
fire and Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin and
children were forced to leave in their
night clothes and without being able
to save thing. They were COMPEL
ed to travel about half mile to the
nearest neighbor in this manner.
The house was worth about $4,000
and 1t is understood that it was prac-
tically covered by insurance. Be-
sides the house Mr. Goodwin lost all
the furniture and a sum of money.

In Memoriam.

One of our American singers has
told us, in melodeous, heart conyinc-
ing verse:
There's nothing so kingly as kind
ness"
This was surely the dominant note
in the mind of many one who looked
upon the rested face of John Bahan,
as he lay silent in the Old First
Church, so full Of memories of good
men and women who have gone up
higher to join the great choir, invis-
ible and immortal.
The contrast between the years
when he toiled day and night for
others, hardly allowing himself taste
of rest or comfort, touched a tender
chord, and memory, the wondrous re-
vealer of the past, painted in bright
colors against the background of the
quiet church many deed which re-
vealed the self-forgetting nature of
this supplemented, kindliest of men.
How many years he started out
early Sabbath morning, with horse
and carriage. and took to the dear.
sanctuary, without money and with
out price" many who would other
wise have been deprived of the bread
of life, which strengthened them for
their toll, the sweet songs which sang
so many precious truths into the
hearts of the aged, the lonely, and the
troubled, and the friendly greetings
afterwards of the children of one
Father.
Then, too did we young people wish
to go to party or picnic? "Whc
would take us" ASK John Bahan
No matter how hard his days work
had been, no matter how cold the
night the big wagon or sleigh, which
he kept for our pleasure, was always
sure to appear. So cheerfully did he
perform these free-will services tina
we never dreamed of the effort which
it must have cost him. Was there {
meeting at neighboring school house
at which our pastor needed the help o
some of his own people? The same
willing heart was ready to take us
though he might be so weary that HI
could not hold his eyes open durinl
the services. How many persona
favors the writer recalls offered 81
cheerily that they could never be re
fused, and so often that It was impos
sible to repay them!
Doubtless there are many who coul,
tell the same tale with grateful
hearts. Who but he would go lin tn
winter night miles away to cut
Christmas tree for the little child o
friend? Recalling all these pleas
ant memories, as we looked at hi
peaceful face before he was laid ava
among so many of those whom he ha
helped and cheered, It seemed but fl
ting to pay slight tribute to one VIII
so constantly illustrated the truth o
There's nothing so kingly as kint

NOT WAsHBURN-cRosRY
Makers Of Gold Medal Flour Not Con-
cerned In Minneapolis Receivershlp

1t should be understood that the
Washburn-Crosby Co, makers OF
GOLD MEDAL FLOUR, are in no way
concerned with the recent Minneapo-
lis Touring mill receivership. The
slight similarity in names. has led to-
some confusion.
One need have no fear that the
GOLD MEDAL housewives, whose pic
lures have adorned the magazines and
newspapers, will cease to appear. We
shall see them the same as ever. And
the Wahbum-C Crosby Co., continue to
be the largest milling concern in the
world.
Therefore. while the receivership
in question is most unfortunate, It
does not by any means concern all
Minneapolis -four mills. The Wash
burn-Crosby Co., makers of the wide
ly advertised GOLD MEDAL FLOUR,
shipped 5000 cars last year more than
their nearest competitor. And they
are fourishing still.
