A Distinguished Visitor.

NJ chapel las, Friday morning the students
OF Leland and Gray seminary were highly IA.
yoTed IN Listening TO the address given by l. II.
Bailey This author and administering Is at
present dean Of the agricultural college OF
Cornell university. The speaker said in part.
My father was born in this town IN the year
1920, and j. still living at the advanced age OF
90 years. He educated at this ancient scat
OF learning and from the cradle up | have
been taught TO hold it sacred IN memory. In
1880 my father with several others from this
town settled the unbrokcn forest shores of
Lake Michigan at Kalamazoo and so grew up
with the country. Hence after an absence OF
% years / am again on scmi-sacrcd ground
Three thoughts were amplifed at some length
First-the future OF farming in the Eastern
states Wheat Is no longer exported and the
time i not tar away when each farmer must
raise a great deal more to make good the local
and material food supply. High prices were
due TO underproduction. Every year this coun.
try receives within its borders three ourths OF
million foreigners who are largely non-pro-
duCers. An oVerproducton must be brought
about on the New York and New England
farms. Before long the deserted farms OF
Vermont will be taken up and the whole state
blossom like a rose, One great writer thinks
that the country will finally become great
city. The speaker entirely disagreed with him
but believed that the country would present both
phases and its own splendid individuality would
predominant and do what is was intended &c
subserve-to supply the food OF the nation
His appeal to the boys fitted for the work OF
the farm was encouraging and decidedly Opt
mistic In the near future, the speaker said
not only our tood supply, but our heat supply
would be taken from the top of the soil HI,
advanced idea Of forest preservation was ac
cepted and enjoyed by all.
Mr., Bailey should be offered the portfolio
of secretary OF agriculture in our President
cabinet and become President OF this nation il
1920. 1t would seem strange if this suggestion
should come 10 pass, thus giving TO the nation
another chief executive whose fathers birth

NEWFANE


An Illustrated sketch in recent sun
day edition Of the Boston Post is OF inter-
est to many Newfane friends here and
scattered about the country, where The
Phoenix is read, as Mrs. Anna Stedman
Newman, the subject is a daughter Of the
late Mr. and Mrs. William A. Stedman,
whose home above the cemetery was
known as the Stedman place for upwards
of 20 years Mrs. Newman attended
school and taught one term here, and with
others from Newfane, was pupil at the
Monson, Mass. academy. She and Miss
Florence Sawyer, also formerly OF New
fame. were assistant teachers at West
Brattleboro academy for time, and
afterward taught together in Deerfeld
and Shelburne Falls, Mass. The Post
said in part:
Mrs. Newman is one of the celebrities
of wellesley college by virtue of her
long term of "a years as superintendent
of Norumbega hall, which was for years
the home of presidents as well as stu
dents of Wellesley. After the official
HEADQUARTERS were changed Norumbega
remained the centre Of a certain in
ner life of Wellesley, due to the per
sonality of Mrs. Newman Many OF
the faculty still live there and hum
dreds of students have come under Mrs.
Newman's remarkable influence in the
big. rambling. gray house on College
hin which is said to have more Of a
home atmosphere than any of the other
bouses The doors of Mrs. Newman s
APARTMENTS on the first floor are always
open. They are old-fashioned kind of
rooms, with the restraint and dignity
of a gone-by period, shown in the lack
Of many things that make some modern
rooms so trumpery. And the rooms
are somewhat typical of Mrs. Newman.
There is a chair there by the fire that is
a favorite of hers, straight backed and
y-seated, which half faces the charred
logs in the fire place and in this the
erect and still vigorous form of Mrs.
Newman is frequently seen with her
girls around her, perhaps one Of them
poking at the fire. She is gentle
faced lady with keen brown eyes and
hands crossed firmly in her lap. Her
feet are crossed and she strongly shows
her lisapproval of the tomboyish fashion
of crossed knees upon any and all oc-
casions."
yes" said Mrs Newman, lin "a
years there have been many hundreds
Of girls in this house whom nave
come to know intimately, 1t may be
a great opportunity for doing good
but 1t is also a responsibility, and that
fact never leaves me. I am responsible
in some degree and l want all my in
huence to be for the best. l like tc
have my girls do things that are worth
while in the world. l like to see then
accomplish things, but best Of all like
TO see them settle down and have MONIES
Of their own
These hundreds of Mrs. Newman:
girls" are uniting in a very materia
and substantial testimony TO hel
winsome home making and character
building personality.

JAMAICA.
Deer Still Plentiful.

That the passing of the law by the
last legislature permitting the shooting
of one deer Of either sex has not APP
parently in any way diminished the num-
Der OF deer, would be readily admitted by
any one who had taken a look either
in the early morning or late afternoon,
at the Butter Cellar pasture owned by
j. b. Muzzy, of jamaica, and situated
about 100 rods above the Jamaica rail-
road station. This pasture for a num-
Der of years has been a regular spring
gathering place for deer, and for the
past two weeks they have been very
plentiful there, as many as 3S having
been seen at one time. The largest
number ever seen in this pasture was
AZ, which were gathered there one morn
ing two years ago. These deer do as
much damage to the early feed in the
pasture as a flock of sheep, and Mr.
Muzzy is thinking seriously Of putting
in a claim to the state for damages
for pasturage destroyed

The Trout Situation.
litor of The Phoenix:

To the Editor of The Phoenix:
l have been reading an article taken
from the Bennington Banner in regard
to the fish law. He has sounded the
key and sounded 1t right, for every man
that has caught trout during the months
Of July and August finds a large number
of them filled with spawn. When the
state will make her laws so that the
streams will stock themselves with the
native fish, there will be no need OF
using incubator fsh-a mild term to use
for a person would hardly think of
taking an incubator full of newly Matched
chicks into the woods and turning them
loose and think that they would get a
living,

JOY SHOPS BUBBLE BURSTS.
Bankruptcy Ends the Gayety at the
Cafe Boulevard.

New York, Oct. 3.-Cafe Boule'
ward, 100 Second avenue, was thrown
into bankruptcy. The Hungarian Res
taurant company, under which prosaic
name the famous resort for artificial
Joy and premeditated temperament
was incorporated, owes lot of money.
Judge Holt appointed Lindsay Russell
receiver. The liabilities were set at
about $4,000 and the assets at more
than $4,000. Mr.. Russell Is privi-
legged by the court to soften the sor-
row of the suburban visitor by contin-
uing to operate the place thirty days
more.
Unless Mr.. Russell proves a success
as restaurant keeper never again
will gay bands of college youths sit
around it's tables and carol gayly, en-
joying the belief that they were max
ing a lasting impression on all gay
New York. Not again will William
Travers Jerome, with his dashing band
of youthful admirers, sweep in with
a cheer and discuss their political pre-
ferences for the enlightenment of all
who care to hear.
1t was at the Boulevard that son
of ex-senator Clark of Montana made
o hit by standing on table and pub
licly burning a new 500 certificate, by
way of showing how little he cared for
money.
The real quality Of the devilishness
of the spirit of the patrons of the re-
sort occurred one July night, nine
years ago, when the women of an out
of-town party, misled by the things
they had heard of the so-called "Bo-
hemianism" of the place, lighted Gig
arets. The place was at once in an
uproar of protest. Scandalized pat
rons of the place charged on the ever
courteous manager, Henry Hannauer,
and told him what was being done.
He nearly tainted and called the po-
lice.
Persons who came from distance
to see the sights of New York always
have made the whereabouts of the
Cafe Boulevard the subject of the first
questions to their New York friends.

For Another Game.

Neigh, Neb., Oct. Especial to
The News: According to the man
ager of the Giants baseball team,
they did not receive a fair shake at
the hands of Bartley's Colts, and have
issued another challenge for a game
to be played on the Riverside park
grounds this week. There is only
one difficulty that is now apparent
that will keep the two teams from
getting together, and that is the ques-
ton of the umpire. Jenkins says if
he is allowed to act in that capacity
the second time that he assures that
the Giants will win out, but from the
report given out by one of the local
papers in regard to his umpiring the
last game, when it stated jenkins
should have been killed on the spot, ;"
is not very encouraging in his behalf.

MRS. "-SlT," NOT MRS. wS-IT."
Adeline Genee is Particular How Her
Name is Pronounced.

New York, Sept. 27.-Adeline &C.
nee, the little dancer, who arrived on
the steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm,
brought with her a new husband, a
determination to make this a fare
well tour and pronounced hump of
sensitiveness regarding the pronuncia-
ton of her new name. June II she
was married to F. S. w. Isitt, the
London solicitor of the duke of New
castle, and when the ship news re-
porters pronounced the name "Is-it,"
she corrected them with a small verb
al explosion.
10000, you dreadful Americans!"
she said. why can you not pro-
nounce name correctly? 1t is not
'ls-it,' nor anything so dreadful-it is
l-sit,' and | wish you would remem-

Mr.. Isitt himself didn't seem to care
about the INSTRUMENTATION, but
smiled indulgently at his brides an.
ger. Their wedding was noticed by
royalty in proof of which the dancer
wore a small breastpin sent by Queen
Alexandra, with her majesty's initials
in diamonds.
Genee said this tour of America will
be hor last, and after a few farewell
appearances in England she will re-
tire permanently.
