McINDOE FALLS.
Death of Oldest Resident.

Mrs. Margaret A. Duncan) Gleason
died at her home here Sunday, at the
age of 81 years, eight months and 10
days. She was born in Barnet and
with the exception of short period in
which she lived with her grandfather in
Acworth, N. H., her whole life, so near
a century in length, was spent in her
native town. She was married in 1880
at the age of 10 years, to John c.
Gleason, who died in 1865. Early in
their married life they became members
OF the church in Barnet and subsequent
ly when McIndoes became their home,
their membership was transferred here.
For 35 years they lived and worked to-
gether. There were seven children, only
three of whom survive: Martha J., who
lives at home, but who some years ago
was missionary from the Congrega-
tional church to Turkey, and for about
II years was stationed at CONSTANT
nople this time covering two periods of
service; Laura, who is art teacher in the
schools in Pasadena, CAL, but who is
now at her home here; and George, of
New York City. Mr.. and Mrs. Gleason
were of robust strength and they gave
their energies to strenuous work, not
only to the family but to the communi-
ty. They did much to build and sustain
the church and the Academy, and were
helpers in many good cause. After the
death of her husband, Mrs. Gleason re-
tanned the home farm adjacent to the
village, for about 20 years, but when
the children grew up and began to
scatter the older son succeeded to the
farm, and Mrs. Gleason purchased the
place in the village which has been her
home for about % years. She carried
the vigor of early life into later years.
Her mind was always bright and active
and she took great interest in public
affairs, especially in religious and poll
teal movements. She had decided
opinions on important subjects and
could maintain them we'll if opposed.
Until few months ago she attended
church quite often ard liked to stay to
Sunday school. Her type of mind and
character was such as are attributed to
the Puritan. Now she is gone, to those
who knew her best there will come the
feeling Of loneliness, and the community
at large sense of loss. The funeral
took place Tuesday afternoon, at 2
o'clock.

REGISTRATION
FEE INCREASED

An increase OF two cents is to be
made in the near future in the fee for
the registration of letters and mail
packages, and it is the general opinion
that same will not be opposed when
it is understood that the government
is losing thousands OF dollars through
the present system. 1t is always a
wise plan to guard against loss OF any
kind and this is more particularly so
in regard to your health. When you
notice any signs of failing health re-
sort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
Immediately and help nature TO re-
store things to normal condition

for this work and never fails. Try a

ASQUITH MAY
RESIGN WHEN
BUDGET FAILS
Government Will Refuse NegO-
tiatiOns or Compromise With
Peers IN Matter
BaIfOur Adopts Tariff Reform as
Party Cry and Salts
fies Followers

LONDON. Nov. I7.-Wsiter Runciman.
president of the board OF education.
spea king at Hull today, made the i'm
nortant announcement in behalf of the
government that it would refuse to en-
tertain any negotiations or compro-
mises with the peers over the budget.
Beyond this announcement all is con-
lecture regarding the political situa-
tion. Some prominent liberals still are
OF the opinion that Premier Asquith
will resign on the rejection Of the
budget. Others believe that he viii ask
the king 10 create large body of lib
sral peers. recalling that the Irish
church disestablishment bill was al
lowed by the lords on Gladstone's
threat TO create "a new body.
Balfour's speech at Manchester to-
night satisfies his followers, inasmuch
As it adopts tariff reform as the party
cry. AS 10 his exact views on tariff
reform, Balfour was silent except to
say that he would not touch tariff re-
form IF it were to inErease the ordi-
nary cost OF living OF the working
classes
LEADER WON OVER
A striking point in Balfour's speech
was the admission that tariff reform is
the only practical alternative to Chan
cellor Lloyd-Georges burget-an i'm
portant admission, which seems TO indi-
cate that the leader of the opposition
has been won over TO acceptance of
tariff reform as a plank in the unionist
platform.
BalfOur's speech was mainly A denun-
citation Of the budget and an appeal to
his audience by the representation that
tariff reform would be especially bene-
fetal to the cotton industry. which was
seriously threatened by European,
American and japanese competition and
by the growing difficulty of obtaining
sufficient raw material.
Balfour cOntended that German and
American prosperity had grown up con-
femporaneouslv with the imposition Of
high protective duties.
OPPOSED TO BUDGET
He gave his party no special lead for
the coming campaign, but expressed
approval Of Lord Lansdowne's motion
10 reject the budget. of which formal
notice was given in the house Of lords
yesterday.
Balfour argued that. while the house
Of lords no longer was the equal of
the house Of commons in authority, ii
would be fatal 70 the country's institu-
tions IL il were deprived of power to
say that some matters We're so grave
as 10 necessitate an appeal to the peo-
pie. The main function of the lords
said Balfour. was to see that the Brit
ish government was a popular govern
ment.
The liberals in the campaign evident
ly viii concentrate their attack on the
house of lords, in which they viii have
the energetic assistance of the Irish
party. John Redmond. leader of the
Irish party. speaking in Dublin tonight
declared that they ref1sed TO throw
themselves into the arms of the tariff
reformers or to back up the house Of
lords, irel2nd's deadly enemies The
nationalists had long prayed. he said, to
be able TO strike blow at the lords
