Immediately following DR.. Eliot's
great address on Education and the
Power OF a Benefcent Public spirit,
there occurred a very beautiful tree
planting ceremonial upon Capitol Hill
yesterday.
The presence Of DIR. Eliot and his at
tractive wife added greatly to the In
terest OF the occasion, connecting, as
1t did, the visit to our city OF this
great educator with the initial move
ment ON behalf OF CITY Beautiful.
The tree, a half-grown elm of
shapely proportions of body and limb,
was donated to the City Federation by
Mr.. E. ID. Williamson. The Fedora
tion, upon being advised of Mr.. VIII
liamson's thoughtful generosity and
his sympathy with its plans for city
beautiful, made out a program that
was executed yesterday with signal
success. a. program that included in its
performance the services OF the exec
utive officer of every patriotic and
literary organization in the city.
1t can safely be said that no previ-
Gus gathering upon the historic soil
of the Capitol grounds was of so
happy a character. Other occasions
have been more momentous, perhaps,
but they we're grave State occasions,
carrying heavy responsibility, or me-
mortal occasions, with sad memories
dissenting parties hiding heartburn
ings with brave applause But yester-
day every soul agreed that the work
of planting a beautiful shade tree. be-
meath whose shadow politicians might
plan a commemorative veal, or lovers
plight their troth, or among whose
leaves birds mighty build their nests.
wus a praiseworthy deed, and one to
which they gladly lent their pres
ence.
The scene was memorable and pic
turesQue. The site chosen was very
near the beautiful Confederate monu-
ment and the large assemblage filled
the green sloping hillside. School
children climbed upon the pedestal of
the monument and unconsciously added
to the beauty of the scene.
The several private schools were
present In a body, the drums of the
University High School. whose cadet
corps was in full dress uniform, added
a martial note to the occasion.
Gen. w. w. Brandon. State Auditor.
acted as master OF ceremonies, and
introduced the several speakers in his
usual happy manner. The invocation
was offered by Rev. r. +. Ellison, af-

City Federation of Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Burwell Boykin. President Of
the City Federation, in a few wen.
chosen words. accepted the GIT, ana
presented 1t to the state.
Governor B. B. Conner accepted the
tree on behalf of the State, and pledged
the best of care for 1t. saying that he
had already ordered a special faucet
placed in convenient access so that In
seasons of drought, the tree should
have no risk of dying for lack of wa
ter. He spoke OF his love of nature,
and of the time, a half century ago,
when he went into the forests as
boy, and brought out small cedar trees
for his mother to plant in the yard OF
their home, and how, during the past
year, when 1t was proposed that these
cedars, now large trees half hundred
wears old, should be cut down, That he
protested because his mother had
planted them. and he demanded that
they should live as long as he hved.
He spoke with great appreciation OF
the efforts of the women TO beautlfy
the city, and expressed his gratlhca-
ton that DR.. Eliot was present on the
occasion.
At the conclu sion of the Governors
speech, and while the audience sang
Alabama" the State song, led by MISS
Alice Sachs, music instructor OF pup
lie schools, the tree was lowered INTO
the place made ready for 1t.
Governor Conner. representing the
state, plaed the first shovel of earth on
the roots of the tree. DIR. Eliot roll

Mrs Frank NJ. Cronise was the prin-
cipa lspeaker at the recent meeting
of the Society for Political Study in
New York city. Her subject was The
Womans Problem and turned out to
be the problem of domestic service. Re
ferring to the suffrage movement. MIS-
Cronise said that while she wanted to
vote she didn't care much for the ar
guments made by most Of the advo-
Gates of the movement. In particular
she thought it absurd to pretend that
women would be able to turn the tide
of political corruption when they had
failed to solve the servant problem.
Instead Of wasting their time trying TO
get the ballot she recommended that
they devise some means to secure
trained servants so that they might
keep their homes together and their
children out Of hotels.
The Emma Willard memorials which
Mrs Russell Sage has taken much
trouble to collect are to be presented
to the Emma Willard Seminary at
Troy. These memorials include bust
and portraits of Miss Willard, copies
OF her books, old reports. several pieces
of her furniture and a book compiled
under the direction of Mrs. Sage about
Miss willard and her pupils. Mrs
Sage has heretofore taken entire
charge of these memorials. although
it was generally known that some
day she would turn them over to the
Emma willard Association. At re-
cent meeting of the association letter
was received from Mrs. Sage explain
Ing that she was about to move TO
new home In which there would not
be room properly to care for the ar
ticles. She therefore presented the ar
ticles to the association and asked that
permanent home be provided for
them.

Robert Miller, at Groton pond tb;s
community feels a universal loss. Her
ueath came as severe blow to all who
were acquainted with her.
Mrs. HIATT, as Isadore Doe, was horn
IN Kyegate, June 10, 1869, and most ol
her life was spent here. She was a grad.
uate OF Lyndon Institute and a spc.

ReVs. Pollock, Wallace and Macarthur
Kew. Mr.. Pollock preaching the sermon
followed by Rev. Mr.. Macarthur. her old
pastor, one who knew her life best. and
spoke IN sincere and heartfelt terms.
It's entirely unnecessary to expatiate
on the many virtues of the deceased for
tnat she possessed that sterling worth
OF character, that true nobility which
goes to make successful life is certain.
She was a prominent member of the U.
+. church and until her removal to

and testimony at the mid week PRAYER
meeting and as a sympathising friend
and neighbor was ever ready with love
and encouragement in time of need.
When the goodness of woman stands
out so prominently as in the life of Mrs.
HIATT, it is but natural that all should
mourn her loss. The floral tributes were
numerous and unusually beautiful.
She leaves husband, two little daugh-
tiers, an aged mother. one sister and two
brothers, who have the sympathy of all
who knew her
Those to attend the funeral from out

The ideal poultry house is difficult to
describe. There seems to be nothing
about the poultry business in regard 10
which there is wider difference OF
opinion than on this point. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that the type of
house is not very important so long as
it is dry well ventilated, and the fowls
have plenty of the proper kind of food.
Food is the essential thing, and of course
certain foods are much better than
others. A. NJ. Brown of North Roches-
ter, Mass, gives his opinion on this par
ticular point in the following letter. He
says: Il have fed nearly all the poultry
foods on the market, but not with such
returns as Pages Perfected Poultry
Food gives. My hens have an average
of 80 per cent to their credit. Last win,
ter it was so per cent: l know this food
is the best on the market"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, Vt, for his
booklet, "Profitable Poultry" 1t will
