Some Of the New York papers in
announcing the death of Mrs. Julia
Wyatt, the famous actress who
passed away at New Haven, Conn,
November 80, stated that Mrs Wyatt
was the original Eva in the dramatic
alton OF Harriet Beecher Stoves
great novel, Uncle Toms Cabin"
This statement has been corrected
by some of the theatrical weeklies in
their obituary notices OF Mrs. Wyatt
who was one of the first but not the
original actor in the part of Topsey,
the negro girl who wasn't born but
growed'
The statement that Mrs Wyatt
was the original Eva cannot but be
Incorrect Daniel Worcester, the
first man to play the part of Uncle
Tom has been for some months an
inmate OF the Vermont soldiers home
and he is positive that Mrs Wyatt
could not have been the original Eva.
There is not the slightest doubt that
Mr. Worcester was the first Uncle
Tom" for at the time the company
Of which he was a member made its
trip through Massachusetts, and cas-
tern New York in 1854, the play had
not been fully dramatlzed By George
Aitkin 1t was during this tour that
the lines OF the play were rewritten
into the form that constituted the
drama which has survived for so
many years.

some months Aitkin left the troupe

posed an amendment which provides
that no property. real or personal,

Porter opposed this amendment and
Senator Archibald said that he pro-
posed the amendment on the ground
that he did not believe that the bust
ness that causes the most trouble In
the state should be relieved OF any
burdens. He believed In heaplng on
the liquor traffic more burdens in
stead OF less. Senator Powell said
the amendment was evidently offered
for the express purpose Of killing the

NO MISERY N STOMACH
No Indigestion, Heartburn, Gas or

one of you may have an attack of In
digestion or stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will d.
gest anything you eat and overcome
a distressed, out of order stomach five
minutes afterwards,
If your meals don's tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you or lays ike lump of lead in your
stomach, or If YOU have heartburn,
that is sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a so cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin, and take
a little just as soon as you can. There
will be 10 sour risings no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach Nau-

NO bids" TO TAFT PARTY
Invitations to Lawmakers Wives
Oeiayed in the Postofiee.

Washington, Dec. 9--The social
stan at the White House has sudden
~ been converted into a storm center
of unusual proportion by the discoy-
cry that the House of Representa-
lives and the families OF members
were wholly left out Of the recent re-
ception in honor Of the comlng-out Of
Miss Helen Taft.
While 1t was observed that the in
Wtations embraced 4 peculiarly wide
range OF guests and the occasion was
thereby rendered more than ordinari-
" enjoyable. and. in fact, became to
many very much like a wholesale re-
union of old families. 1t was not no.
ticed that the rank and file OF the
House was left out.
This fact did not long remain UNI
known. for many members wives
seized the first opportunity to let the
inmates Of the White House know
that they had been made the objects
of a slight. It became necessary In
order to stem the tide OF Indignation
to make prompt investigation OF
the whole matter.
The fact was well known at the
! White House that invitations had
been sent to all the House families
and that none came was simply
miracle to the social stan. A tracer
was sent out on the track OF the In
vitations. and II was found that they
had not been delivered by n special
messenger as Is the custom, Out
those for the Senate and House fam
lies had been forwarded through the
Post office.

for the Senatorial families reached
their destination, but those for House
families had not been delivered, al

IN MEMoRIAm
Samuel Baker Hall.

On Sunday afternoon, December
ith, 1910. after days OF deadly langu-
OF the tired spirit of Samuel b. Hall
was released from its tenement of
clay, and winged its flight Ito lands
unseen, unknown beyond the river"
AS sat by the casket on the day of
the funeral and looked upon the face
of my intimate friend of more than
fifty years. as he lay sleeping his
last sleep, memory was very active
and the many pictures which have so
long hung upon its walls, seemed
realistic once again. The bright De-
cember sun flooded the big square
rooms as Of yore, and every surround
ing suggested the happy days of long
ago.
My acquaintance with Mr. Hall be-
gan in ear y boyhoOd days, we played
and went to school together, we were
neighbors. In the early sixties the
deceased went TO California and after
a few years we were clerks together
in the large commission house of
Hunt, Tillinghast and Company, New
York City. For long time we
boarded and roomed together In
the course Of time the First National
Bank of North Bennington was orga-
nized with Trenor w. Park as Presi-
dent, and Charles G. Lincoln as Cash
Ter. To this bank Mr.. Hall came as
clerk, later Mr.. Lincoln went TO
New York City and became treasurer
of the Erie Railroad, Mr.. Hall sue.
, ceeded him as cashier This position
he held until his death During our
long and intimate acquaintance
ever found my friend gentle, kindly
and a most loveabe character, he
possessed sound Judgment, was a
musician, and his musical tastes were
exquisite, but perhaps the brightest
jewel in the coronet of his attributes
was his integrity. The fight of time
has made many changes in that beau
tiful home. father, mother, sisters
ard now the only son have passed
beyond.
Perplexed in faith, but pure in deeds
AT last he beat his music out,
There lives more faith in honest
doubt,
Believe me, than in half the creeds
He fought his doubts and gathered
strength.
He would not make his iudgmen
blind,
He faced the spectres of the minC
And laid them thus he came a
length.
To find a stronger faith his own;
And Power was with him in tn,
night,
Which makes the darkness an,
the light,
And dwells not in the light alone
