ter OF Richard and Mary Harrison,
decease She died rather sud
denly at her home near Wesley
Chapel Tuesday morning, Deem
Der IA h, 1909. Although Miss
Hattie had been a cripple for more
than twenty years and in an al
most helpless condition, the i'm
mediate cause Of Der death was
stroke of paralysis which she re-
ceivsd the Sunday before and
and from which she never recover

full and consistent member OF that
church until her death, though
rarely having the privilege of at
tending the services OF any church
en- account Of her affection. She
was great sufferer, and lived
much OF her time alone, but she
bore it oil with sublime patience.

Elected Over Representative Kemp to
Vacancy in Massachusetts

Boston, April 7.-Senator Stevens
was formally elected State Treasurer
in the joint convention of both branch
es of the legislature this afternoon,
receiving 203 out of 239 votes. The

commissioner and the appointment to
that position of Arthur b. Chaplin Of
Holyoke, who was reelected for a
fifth term as treasurer last fall
The contest during the last two
weeks has been spirited one, prin-
cipally between Senator Stevens and
A. P. Langtry of Springfield, Secre-
tary of the Republican state commit
tee few hours before the 213 Re-
publican members of the Senate and
House met in caucus Mr.. Lantry with
drew in favor of one of his chief sup
porters, Representatives Kemp of his
own city.
