The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1909-04-30

Vermont's grand old man, ex-Gov
Frederick Holbrook, died at his home OF
Walnut street at $40 Wednesday evening
.Senile exhaustion was the cause of death
and the end came as peacefully as sleep
Six weeks ago Gov. Holbrook had an at
tack of grip and bronchitis from which he
never fully recovered; in fact, he had been
confined to his bed ever since although he
seemed for time to be recovering his
strength. With him at the time of his
death in addition to his nurses was DR.. S,
E. Lawton, who had come in a few mo-
ments previous to make the governor his
usual visit He was conscious until the
last although not apparently realizing that
the end of his long and useful life was
at hand.
Governor Hobrooks strength had fail
ed gradually during the past few years
but until attacked by illness in March
he had taken his daily drives and re-
tanned an active interest in affairs Of the
world. In January he presided at the
annual meeting of the trustees. of the
Vermont Savings bank, that occasion be-
ing the last time he visited the institu-
ton of which he was chosen trustee in
1856 and president in 1870. He also at
tended recent meeting of the trustees
of the Brattleboro Retreat of which he
was president.
Governor Holbrook was SO years old
Feb Is His birthday anniversary this
year was of particular significance be-
cause it came within three days of the
centennial anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln with whom Governor
Holbrook was more or less intimately as
ISOLATED during the trying periods of the
Civil war. He observed the day quietly
at his home on Walnut street receiving
a few of his intimate friends and neigh
bors and large number of congratulatory
letters and kilograms, among them one
from President Roosevelt. Of late years
the governors daily life had been of
routine nature After breakfast he took |
care of his correspondence and at II
started on his morning drive which usual
1y included visit to the Retreat where
he took electrical treatment. After dinner
he would have portions of the newspa-

TURKEY HAS NEW SULTAN.
Reign of Abdul Hamid Brought to an
End Tuesday,

The reign of Abdul Hamid II as sultan
of Turkey ended Tuesday with his depo-
sition and the accession of his brother,
Mehemmed Reschad Effendi as Mehemed
Y. Mehemed V is the 35th sovereign of
Turkey in male descent, of the house of
Osman, the founder of the empire, and
the Goth sultan since the conquest of Con-
stantinople. The two houses of parlia-
ment, meeting as a national assembly in
the forenoon, approved the decree of dep
osition, which was read by the Sheik Ill
Islam chief of the Ulemas and supreme
judge on ecclesiastical questions. The
document recited that Abdul Hamid's acts
were contrary to the sacred law, and set
forth long list of crimes, the whole maxi
ing a terrible indictment. The assembly
chose Mehemmed- Reschad as sultan and
appointed committees to notify the de-
throned sovereign and his successor of its
action. The firing of lOl guns announced
to the waiting people that a new sultan
had been proclaimed.
The newly chosen ruler came from his
palace in Galata through streets lined
with troops and cheering thousands and
took the oath at the war Office. He then
proceeded to the parliament and later
went to the Top-Kapou palace to kiss the
prophets robe, returning to the Dolma-
bagtsche palace as head of the empire
Wuere lor 50 many years ne naQ prdcCl-
cally been a prisoner.
The people gave themselves over to eel
ebrating the victory of the Young Turks
party and the end of Abdul Hands
reign Many buildings were illuminated
and thousands of rounds were fired by the
soldiers for joy. General good humor pre-
walls everywhere. On being informed of
his deposition by the Sheik-ul-Islam, Alb
dull Hamid bowed his head, saying, TT is
the will of Allah" He asked that the
lives of himself and family be spared. The
assembly declared that he must remain
in Constantinople.
Hands deposition followed the capture
of Constantinople by the military forces
of the Young Turk party, following mu-
tiny against the constitutional govern
ment said to have been approved by the
sultan. The investing army entered the
capital Saturday. Most of the sultan's
troops yielded without a struggle but one
body opened fire from their barracks and
artillery was turned upon the building, .
practically wiping out the defenders. In |
all some 1000 lives were lost in the fight |
ing The besiegers secured the imperial |
palace without opposition.

valid soldiers being sent from other states
From 1900 to 5000 patients were under
treatment at a time.
On laying down the cares of Office Gov
ernor Holbrook dropped quietly back into
the ranks of private life. He kept up his
interest in agricultural affairs and per-
formed valuable services in designing ag-
rcultural tools on scientific principles for
Ruggles, Nourse, Mason & company of
Boston. At one time the New York State
Agricultural society offered gold medal,
at it's meeting in Utica, for a pillow to be
drawn by three horses abreast, which
should turn up a stiff clay soil from a
pulverizing it and not laying it over in
slab. Governor Holbrook designed pillow
for the firm named. and Mr.. Nourse was
assigned to hold it at the public test. On
the day appointed for the test Mr.. -Noprse
was ill. Never you mind" said the I'M
daunted ex-governor, 81 am going to hold
f boagb Row s mySe hat and s he ala Himself so to
shirt, trousers and boots, seized the plow
handles and gave his horses the word. 1t
quickly became noised over the field that
the "War Governor of Vermont was
holding the pillow, and a throng crowded
about the testing ground. They pressed
up so closely that there was scarce room
for work, and the committee constantly
back, and give the governor chance to
pillow out to the ends of his burrows" The
crowd fell back and the War Governor"
won the gold medal.
Of Governor HolbrooE it may be said
that his native suavity of manner, and
his courtesy and kindness toward every
class of his fellowctizens has. had not a
little to do with the love and esteem in
which he is universally held. The late
Charles X. Field, his friend and com
panion from boyhood, said to him, after
his, election to the governorship: "Why,
damn it, Fred, it's that cussed suavity
that made you governor You speak to
everybody you meet, but I don't see half
of them"

and of sustaining the federal government
| IN its efforts to suppress rebellion and put
down treason Frederick Hobrook was
nominated to head the state ticket and
was elected by an overwhelming majority
in September His first official act was to
suggest to the legislature the policy of
paying off one-half of the war expenses
OF the state by direct taxation and fund
ing the other half in state bonds to be
paid by those of another generation, and
laws were enacted in conformity with his
suggestion.
President Lincoln often urged Governor
Holbrook to write him frankly and fully,
saying that in Washington he was so sur,
rounded by discordant elements that it
was difficult to form a correct Judgment,
and he was, therefore, always glad to hear
from the plain people, Governor Hol-
brooks letter suggesting the calling out of
100000 men was received one Tuesday
morning, and as soon as he had read it
President Lincoln exclaimed to Secretary
Stanton that he had there a solution Of
the whole difficulty. Provost Marshal
General Draper was Immediately sent to
Vermont to consult with Governor Hol-
brook, bringing from President Lincoln
request that such an Endorsement of the
proposed call be formulated as Governor
Iolbrook and other loyal governors would
be willing to sign. The request was com
pied with, and IN few DAYS came the
call for 100000 three-years' men, and
later 100000 nine-months' men Under
the presidents call the nine-months' men
were drafted, but Governor Holbrook pro-
tested that draft would dampen the en-
thusiasm of the people of Vermont, and
by his request the state was allowed to
raise its quota by volunteer enlistment.
Governor Holbrook was reelected in
1862. serving two full terms during the
most trying time of the war. His official
residence was at the old Brattleboro
House, which stood where Crosby block
now stands. One of the most valuable
services performed by him for the people
of Vermont was in securing the estab-
lishment of the military hospital in Brat
tleboro. In December, 1862, Governor
Holbrook and his staff went 70 Washing
ton to try to secure the establishment of
a military hospital in Vermont. Secre-
tary Stanton and others urged we'll
founded objections to the plan, but Gov
ernor Holbrook was so much in earnest
that the secretary of war finally consent
ed, and by the middle of February the
hospital was ready. The disabled soldiers
soon began to arrive, and during the fol-
lowing summer the hospital was full, in
