Death of William LinsIey.

William Linsley died early Monday
morning at his home on North avenue,
Burlington, in his 59th year, after a long
illness. OF late he had failed rapidly.
For the past II years he had been a
motorman on the depot line of the Bur
lington Traction company. He was
born in Middlebury March 3, 1851, the
son of Charles Linsley. He entered the
Edwards & Stevens machine shops in
Winooski when 10, and learned there,
during three years, the trade of machin-
list. For a few years he was a fireman
on the Erie railroad, following which he
came to Burlington and was first EN-
ployed as fireman and later as engineer
on the passenger train of the Burling-
ton e. Lamoille road. He worked for
this road for IA years, subsequently
going to Muncie, Ind, on account Of i'll
health. Seventeen years ago he return
ed to Burlington to take a position with
the Traction company and he held the
position until within a few months of
his death. He is survived by a wife, a
son and IA daughter. Mr.. Linsley had
a large collection of railroad relics,
curios, pictures, etc. He was, too. a
frequent contributor to railroad publica-
tions, having a large fund of reminiscent
ces. The funeral was held on Wednes-
day afternoon at $3.50 o'clock from the
house, $50 North avenue, with inter-
ment in Lake View cemetery.

The WOLF Comma,

1.-The Wolf" Eugene Walters great
play of life in the wilderness around
Hudson Bay, is to be presented by the
Paul Gilmore company headed by the
eminent actor, Edward Solman and a
great cast at the Opera House Monday,
Oct. II.
Mr.. Walters latest play, THE
Easiest Way" was the sensation of the
past season in New York. He first
startled New York theatre goers and
critics by producing two marked sue
cesses in quick Observation-Disclosures to
be the two great dramatic achievements
of the year. While they are both gen
orally mentioned in the same breath,
his second success, "The Wolf" is the
direct antithesis of his first one, paid
in Full.
The wolf, from which the play takes
it's name, is a human VOLTA mar who
looks upon attractive woman kind as
prey for his amusement. This man,
Macdonald, is a wealthy railroad pro-
motor and engineer. He deserts one
victim and she dies a suicide. His next
fancy is Hilda, the young and %unsophis-
ticated daughter of an old Scotch back
woodsman, Andrew McTavish.
Splendid scenic affects are carried.
No house scenery used. First time
here for this great play and company.
1t will be an innovation in theatricals
in M~iddlebury. Secure your seats
early.

Voice Of the People.
n we could hear the voice OF all the
people upon some current issues, IL
would. / think, declare itself In sub
stance as follows:
I believe the people should directly
nominate, elect, control, and recall
their own Legislative representatives.
1 believe In publicity of campaign
contributions and expenses both before
and after election, and in strictly linn
iting BY law the amount that may be
spent and the manner OF spending It..
1 believe that IL should be unlawful
for any lawmaker or other public SER
want to be employed by or TO receive
compensation from any Interstate or
public service corporation. or for any
public servant appointed and not elect
ed TO office TO be an officer In any po-
litical party or organization, or to at

l believe IL should be unlawful for
any lobbyist or other representative OF
any interest TO advocate or oppose any
measure to any legislator or Legislative
committee without first publicly regis

Would Bar Special Interests.
I believe that the most pressing pa

Lax government by driving the special
Interests out OF politics. and that COM
plete publicity OF all the affairs OF

poration Is necessary TO that end.
/ believe that corporations have GER

representatives In congress. In the cab

believe that the special interests
through their control OF politics and
business, and principally by means OF
the tariff, are responsible for the ex-
brilliant cost OF living.

rant-Spouse Once Fled With
Another Woman, Wife Says.
After 40 years of married life. Mrs.
Anna Birtsch, a gray-haired, refined
looking woman, came TO police court,
Friday, and swore out a warrant for
her husband, William Birtsch, alias
Densmore, charging him with aban-
donment. She lives at No. So Savoy
st. The husband is SO years old.
Mrs. Birtsch says they formerly
lived In Port Huron and that UP to
five years ago, there had been no
break in their marital felicity. Then
she says her husband fed with wo.
man who had come to work In their
home. They came to Detroit. Later
he returned to Port Huron and rela-
tives affected reconciliation between
husband and wife.
That her forgiving spirit had little
effect upon him Is evidenced, she says,
by the fact that he again deserted
her. She says she found him In De-
troit again, this time living under the
name of Densmore.
