A FAITHFUL EMpLoYE.
What Editor Howe Says of The Late
Charles c. RamsdeIl.

The Barre Times has lost by death
| this week the foreman in its composing
room, Charles O. Ramsdell who for
years has borne the reputation Of be-
ing the most artistic compositor in
northern and central Vermont But
| he was more than that as the editor of
| the Banner can testify from personal
| knowledge. He was one OF those old
time printers who was as keenly inter
ested in the success OF the paper that
employed linn as the owner himself.
We remember well the day Of the as
sassination of President Mckinley.
Editor in. Chief langley Of the Times
had gone to Isle la Motto. The sub
editor Of the Times, row editor Of the
Banner, had been half sick that day
and went homd in the middle Of the
afternoon. The reporters always left
after the paper went To press so that
when the news came late in the after
noon Of the shooting of the president
there was nobody in the Times office
but Mr. Ramsdell and an apprentice
There was another paper in Barre at
the time and Mr.. Ramsdell recognized
that the reputation OK the Times de
pended on him 10 probably the most
important news crisis in the history Of
the paper. He started the apprentice
lot foot for the sub.editor, relocked
the forms, all except the first page, and /
cleared that for new matter By the I
time the writer reached the Office Mr.. |
Ramsdell and his apprentice, Phil Ellis,
whom he had inspired with his own
enthusiasm, were all ready to 90
ahead aa soon n q tbn diana fehas cnttfd 1
he edited The result was that the
Times had an extra on the street in
side of 20 minutes with comparative.
IL complete account Of the shooting.
The Times was SO far ahead that the
other paper never even put out the ex-
ira that it finally got ready nearly an
hour after the Times was on the street.

snientious and faithful employee than

WOULD BE A BENEFIT.

The report by the trustees Of the KEEL
logg Hubbard library in Montpelier that
the opening Of the library during few
hours each Sunday afternoon works to
the good OF the community and that a
great many people take advantage OF the
oportunity who otherwise would rarely
visit the institution ought to have infu
ence with the trustees Of the Aldrich
library in this city. Since the dedication
Of the local institution last fall, the
library has been mecca for book-lovers
and readers Of current literature. and the
library has established its place in the
life Of the city. There are, however. many
people, and just the people to whom a
library ought to cater, who do not have
the time or inclination to visit the
Aldrich library during the weekdays To
such as these the Sunday opening Of the
building for reading purposes only would
be boon indeed. Many expressions OF
opinion have been heard that the Sunday
opening would BE- greatly appreciated.
In addition. there are the strangers
who are in town over Sunday who would
appreciate the chance 70 spend few
hours in reading. You who have spent
the Sabbath day in a strange city have
felt the homclessness Of it all, and your
steps have instinctively been directed
toward the public library, where you
hoped to, and did, find measure Of
recreation as wen as intellectual benefit.
To these also the Sunday opening of the
Barre library would prove benefit. We
hope that the trustees of the Aldrich IL
brary will find their way clear toward
inangurating this innovation.
