Native and Long Resident of North
Adams Dies at Meirose

North Adams, Aug. 20.-Word was
received here Tuesday of the death at
Melrose of Henry S. Willard, formerly
of this city.
Mr. Willard was born in this city
rs years ago and was the son of the
late Hon. George Millard. His father
was the pioneer shoe manufacturer
and did much to establish the indus
try in this city. He was also an able
and persistent advocate of the build
ing of the Hoosac tunnel and labJrcd
for years in that cause.
Henry s. Willard was educated IN
the public schools of North Adams,
and he began his business career in
the dry goods business. He was af-
forwards associated with the late VIM
II. Whitman in the manufacture of
shoes under the firm name of Willard
a. Whitman. The firm conducted its
business in the brick portion OF the
shoe factory on Union street now oc-
cupied by the George e. Keith Com
pany. Later on Mr.. Millard retired
from the firm and bought the cotton
mill at Arnoldsville below Maple
Grove. After running this success
fully for several years it was sold 70
the Plunketts. In later years Mr.
Willard removed to New Britain. CT,
where he was engaged in manufactur-
ing and the real estate business until
his removed to Boston ana vicinity
where he had since lived
Mr.. Willard was twice married, his
first wife who died in 1878 being Miss
Elizabeth Wilkinson, daughter of the
late William Wilkinson of Blackin-
ton. He later married Mrs Harriet
SopeT of New Britain, Conn, who
died about two years ago.
Mr.. Willard is survived by sister
Mrs William r. Graves of Benning
ton, VT. and by four daughters, Mrs.
Zebra Quackenbush of Hoosick. n. Y,
Mrs II. Siddins Mowbray of Washing
ton. Conn, and Misses Harriet and
Florence Willard of Melrose.
Mr. Willard while a resident of this
city was one of its prominent bust
ness men. He was a man of seat
energy and industry in following up
mis- business pursuits. While not
seeking public Office he was a good
citizen and always the champion of
good government and clean politics.
He was a man of cheerful tempera.
ment and enthusiasm and will be
most kindly remembered by his many
friends of early days
The funeral services were held on
Thursday at IL o'clock at the Baptist
church, Rev. Mr.. Davis of Bennington
officiating, and the burial will be in
the family lot in Hillside cemetery.

Of Acting Secretary of the Treasury
Norton who has just returned from

indicating that the banks are pressed

of the prosperous condition of the
country can be found than the banks.
They point out that not for two
months has there been but one failure

that one was due to the embezzle-

quarters at Seattle, has presented a
report to the president in which he
Is understood to have attempted to
show that high. officials of the interior
department have been unnecessarily
CONCERNED in the expedition of what
are known as the Cunningham claims
to valuable coal lands in Alaska. He
also claims that in doing SO they had
acted entirely independent of the
minor officers of the department. The
officials are much incensed over the
report but they take the position
that as they are preparing a report
for the president, their lips are neces-
sarily sealed against any outside dis
cussion Of the subject. This was the
attitude assumed by Commissioner
bennett, who only this morning ar
rived from an inspection tour through
the west. and Acting Secretary Pierce
