OLD WILLIAMS INN
MASSACHUSETTS TAVERN WHERE
WASHINGTON ONCE DINED.
First Established in 1852 and Scene
of Some Notable Incidents-Has
Been RemodeIed But Still =
House for Wayfarers.

Boston.-A rare old roadside inn in
deed is the Williams tavern in MARI
boro, Mass, on the shores of the
pond" in one of the most pleasant
sections of the border city of Worces-
ter county.
The venerable hosiery has been the
scene of some notable incidents in To-
cal history, as well as the temporary
residing place of the Father of His
Country
Just how many years old Williams
tavern has been a public house for
the entertainment of man or beast is
not precisely known, but Abraham
Williams, the pioneer of his family in
Marlboro, located there as early, at
least, as 1868.
He married Joanna Ward, a daugh-
ter of the original Ward family in
town, and settled down in this Boston
turnpike abode in that year.
The house is now the property of
Mrs. Henry Carr, and the landlord is
Eugene E. Pinkham. The pictures of
Landlord Pinkhams predecessors
would make a goodly group, If attain
able, from Abraham Williams in Puri-
tan days down to present incumbent
The modernized top of the structure
was added in 1888. The house has
now SO rooms. In the old days, when
the Boston and Worcester stage driv
ers and teamsters made merry in the
tap room, there were but 20 rooms
Part of the space, before Marlboro be-

came a city, was utilized as a town
courtroom, and two brick cells in the
cellar, now filled with coal, were
places of safe-keeping for unruly Of
tenders.
The Williams tavern is mentioned in
the report of lieutenant, or Ensign
DBernicre of the British Tenth regi-
ment. and who, in 1775, with Capt.
Brown of the Fifty-second regiment.
made a secret expedition to Worcester
county, and had to fly from Marlboro
on being discovered.
In the dining room of the old house
President Washington, while on his
way from Worcester to Boston, in
1889, partook of a noon repast.
In the diary of his trip Washington
under date of Friday, October %, 1889,
says:
"'On the line between Worcester and
MiddleseX counties I was met by a
troop of light horse belonging to the
latter, who escorted me to Marlbor-
ough (16 miles,. where we dined, and
thence to Weston GA more), where
we lodged"
The Massachusetts Spy of October
90, 1889, says that: -At the line in
Marlborough, he Washington was
L.
we'll mounted, and in complete uni
form. They escorted him to Capt. Will
liams' tavern, where he was met by
the marshal of this district, Jonathan
Jackson of Boston, and where he
dined.''
At this time the landlord of the
Williams tavern seems to have been
Capt George Williams, son of Col.
Abraham Williams. Landlord George"
died in 1913 at the age of II.
Washington's retinue on this trip
consisted of his two secretaries, the
ever faithful Tobias Lear-the Secre-
tary Loeb of the first administration
Col. William Jackson of Philadel-
phia and six servants.
United States Marshal Jonathan
Jackson had already arrived at the
tavern from Boston. There was, there
fore, a party of four diners In the
room shown in this illustration-the
president Secretaries Lear and Jack
son and Marshal Jackson.
It is unfortunate for the natural and
pardonable curiosity of the present
generation that there is no record,
printed or otherwise, of Landlord
Georges bill of fare on this occasion
Washington MADE no other sllusioa
to this dinner than that we dined."
He did speak of Parsons tavern in
Springfield as well as of the jerks
inn at Spencer as being good houses"
The Widow Ingersolfs,' on the old
Pierce corner on Scollay square, Bos-
ton. he referred to as q very decent
and good house. Some of the other
taverns he visited, however, were
given scant praise. In the Williams
tavern failed to receive any criticism
OF commendation it must be that its
dinner for Washington was at least
satisfactory

The discussion as to the merits of
the low-headed fruit tree over the
fruit tree that is trimmed TO grow
high still continues. 1t would seem.
however, that the low-headed tree has
the advantage over the high-headed
one in that it is easier to prune, spray
graft or bud, gather fruit from and
is about as easy to cultivate. 1t
would seem as though nurserymen
ought to take the lead in advocating
low-headed trees, and those who prop
agate, advertise and push the sale of
such trees will reap the reward A
nursery tree should have only those
limbs within one foot of the ground re-
moved, instead of being mutilated and
bean poled'' four feet from the
ground. If the tree remains in the
nursery the second year the leader
should be topped at about two and
one-half feet and the side branches
be cut back to perhaps four inches;
this is the proper way to form founda-
ton branches for apple, pear, and
plum trees. With peach trees which
are always dug when one year old or
less, the side branches should never
be taken off in the nursery. They
should be left for the fruit grower to
develop into low-headed trees

The Cape Henlopen men risked
their lives in putting their boat
through the bounding seas, but they
reached the schooner safely and just
as the helm of the Lawrence became

ONE REFORM ACCOMPLISHED.

In time universal suffrage was no
longer dream. The women were
not only given the ballot, but they
were put on the ticket.
When the first presidential election
under universal suffrage was over,
the electresses of the different states
began comforting.
when will we go to Washington
to cast the ballot of the electoral
college?" said one.
Late in February" answered
another. And then the inaugural
will follow on the 4th of March. "
"Oh, goodnessp' was the cry from
all. The very idea! Our winter
things will be out of date by then,
and it will be too early for us to
have our spring clothes and hats. !"
Immediately the Inauguration date
was set forward to May 4.
This shows what women could do
with problems that mere man has
struggled over for a century.

IS KNOX ELIGIBLE

soil find himself confronted with the
pressing and disagreeable necessity of
selecting new premier for his cab

This is the question that all official
Washington is confronted with. The
facts In. the case are perfectly plain.
There is no dispute about them. Sen
ator Knox was last elected for a six
year term, which will not expire until
March 8, 1911. The constitution pro-
hibits the appointment of senator to
an Office created or the salary of
which has been increased during the
term for which he was elected. :m
So the question is whether under
this incontrovertible state of affairs
Senator Knox can lawfully succeed
Robert Bacon as secretary of state on
March 4. It is quite evident that the
senator himself is a good deal per-
turbed by the springing of this ques-
ton at this moment. He has denied
himself to all callers, but Is advising
with his personal friends, especially
those Of legal turn of mind, and
without doubt he will have message

OF
CHILDHOOD
THEWORsT OF THESE Is THE
NEGLECTED COLD.
Health Commissioner Reynolds
Of Chicago Issues a Bulletin
to the Public.
cFrom the Chicago Tribune.1

from the Chicago Tribune.1
Health Commissioner Reynolds of Chi
cago, in his latest bulletins of the depart
ment, says that the worst danger to which
the children Of Chicago are now exposed is
the neglected cold.
If your baby has cold don't say it will
wear of, and let it go at that. IF your
children have the snuffles, or sore throats OF
watery eyes, don't hesitate to take them from
school for day or two SO that you may
break up the colds they have.
Every parent can add to the healthy con-
ditions of the city and to his or her own
peace of mind by guarding against any and
every kind of a cold.
Generally the child doesn't know it caught
cold. 1t may be impossible to prevent it
from exposing its sensitive body to those
dangers which older persons shun. But the
chances of contracting colds can be easily
diminished by little care and foresight.
If the children get colds don't waste any
time.
Don't trife with cold"
an official and one whose position enables
him to know the real danger, should be
needed by all. The lives of many children
are sacrificed each year by neglecting the
colds which they take, others contract chronic
catarrh from which they never fully recover.
1t would be unwise for the health com
missioner of city to recommend any remedy
or treatment for disease, but should he do
SO Chamberlain's Cough Remedy would GER
tainly head the list as the most efficacious
for colds, Group and whooping cough in
children, and the one remedy that can always
be depended upon to effect speedy cure and
that is pleasant and safe to take. This rem
edy contains no opium or other harmful
drug and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. It's great worth and
merit in the treatment of these diseases has
been attested by many thousands of mothers,
