PREACHING PRINTER DEAD.
Rev. A. F. Monroe Was Born "a Years
Ago.

New York, May 27.-The Rev. Alex
ander Frazer Monroe known in this
country and England as ''The preach
ing printer whose work in the inter-
est of working men. temperance and
Sabbath observance was praised by
Queen Victoria. is dead at his home
in Brooklyn.
Born in Scotland "a wears ago, he
learned the printers trade and be-
came active in the formation of the
printers union. In 1889 he presided at
a meeting which established the first
national typographical union in the
British isles. A few years later he
came to this country. Shortly after
his arrival, having studied for the min
istry, he was licensed to preach by the
Methodist church.
He had practical ideas about reli-
gion, one Of which found expression
in the establishment of the Sunday
Breakfast association. where homeless
men received a good breakfast and
later were asked to attend services.

A Dainty Toilet Article

Every lady who desires to keep up
her attractive appearance while at
the theatre, attending receptions.
when shopping, while travelling and
on all occasions should carry in her
purse booklet of Gourand's Oriental
Beauty Leaves. This is a dainty lit
tie booklet of exquisitely perfumed
leaves which are easily removed and
applied to the skin. 1t is invaluable
when the face becomes moist and
flushed and is far superior to a pow
der pun, as it does not spill and soil
the clothes.
1t removes dirt, SCOT and grease
from the face, imparting a cool del
icate bloom to the complexion. Sent

Some people are wasting brain fag
trying to explain the results in yes
terday's election The Banner con-
siders the answer easy. The admin
istration of village affairs the past
year has been a good one and the vo-
tiers recognized the fact by dropping
party lines and continuing the same
men at the head of village affairs as
far as possible. 1t is exactly the
same thing that keeps the present
board of selectmen in town Office.
The voters simply decline to let party
politics interfere with good service
for the town and village. The Ban
ner has often argued against partisan
politics in local affairs and the voters
have learned the lesson even if the
party managers haven't.

WESTON HAS BAD DAY
u Mile Walk Monday Drives Him
Back TO Bed for More Rest

Garfield, Kan, March l6.-Edward
Payson Weston, fatigued by the ex-
ertions Of yesterday in walking ~
miles, was unable to continue on his
journey eastward today He walked
two miles and then was forced TO
give up and go TO bed.
He resumed his journey after rest
ing three hours in bed at Garfield.
Since Weston left Los Angeles late
in the afternoon of February 4 to his
arrival at Kingsley in Kansas Mon
day night he has covered total OF
1918 miles. Weston has always made
il a rule never to indulge in any ex-
hibitions of ccatests of any kind on
Sunday. He has always insisted on
observing the Sabbath as day OF
rest out of respect for the teachings
of his mother during his early boy
hood days 20 amount of money or
glory held out to him could ever in
duce him to break this rule row.
Thus, by throwing out the six sun.
DAYS of the last % days from Febru-
AIRY | the time when he started on
his walk, leaves SO days, exclusive of
Tuesday as the total period which it
has taken him to cover this long jour
ney from the Pacific coast TO Kansas.
This shows e has travelled at an
average rate of about A miles per
day. AS this schedule called for an
average of but thirty-eight miles per
day. it can therefore be seen he is
not only SIX days ahead of his sched-
ule in reaching Kingsley but he has
actually beaten the average daily dis
lance he figured on at the outset by
six miles per day.
The record he made in covering
seventy-two miles in one day on Mon
day by travelling from ingalls,, Kan,
to beyond Kingsley, to celebrate his
72nd birthday is considered by his
friends here as a marvellous feat, es-
pecially as II was done after having
covered half of the worst part of his
journey across the desert and over
the mountainous regions from the
coast
They say there is no record of any
similar feat having been accomplish
ed by any one of his age. What he
has done so far shows his wonderful
vitality for a man 72 years of age
and the great benefits of proper liv-
ing and indulgence in walking as a
healthful exercise.

Farming For Profit.

The people of Vermont do not real
ize, probably the profits that are be-
ing made in agriculture in our own
State. We read of the great crops
raised on irrigated soil or in the
Canadian Northwest, but the land Of
opportunity too often in our thought
lies beyond far horizons. For this
reason a few illustrations of profit
able agriculture in our own vicinity
not remarkable stories perhaps, but,
nevertheless, encouraging be
of interest. In a recent issue of the
Rural New Yorker the experiences Of
young Vermont farmer are related

which made $500 pounds of butter

a year 'or two he paid for this prop

section of the country.

$4,000 He sold vegetables, poultry,
eggs, milk, cream and butter direct to
the consumer, and averaged from ST.

farm for $4,000. A man past middle
age borrowed money and bought a

strawberries which sold at 10 cents a

When the case reached the sup

CONFESSED TO FIVE MURDERS
Record Of an Aged Convict Who Fell
Dead in Charlestown Prison.

OCd0 w OldileStOWn TTISOn.
Boston, March, 16.-Five murders
in four of which robbery was the sole
motive, while revenge furnished
partial cause for the fifth, were ad-
mitted by Angeles Smell, the aged life
convict, who dropped dead in the
State prison at Charlestown. With
the exception of the fifth murder,
that of Tillinghast Kirby of West.
port, for which Smell was serving a
life sentence, the details OF his var.
ious crimes are lacking.
Smell was a resident of Westport, a
small town lying between Fall River
and New Bedford, and a man of evil
reputation. Much of his energy was
directed to Illicit traffic in liquor.
Tillinghast Kirby carpenter, 81
years old, had upbraided Smell for his
liquor selling, and the latter had been
heard to make threats against him.
Kirby was last seen alive on Sept
9, 1905, when he went fishing in a
small flatbottomed boat, which was
found the following day, and not until
nearly two weeks later was the body
of the missing man washed upon
Horse Neck Beach. There we're
wounds 3n the head, and moose had
been fastened around the neck. Smell
was arrested, tried, and convicted.
He was sentenced to death, but the
evidence against him being purely
circumstantial, his sentence was com.
muted to life imprisonment by Gov.
Douglas.
The other four murders which
Smell confessed to were the killing of
Philip Cornell an old hermit of West
port; two strangers who came to
westport on a vacation trip, and an
unknown Portuguese who had paid
Smell to guide him to an adjoining
town. In each case Smell robbed his
victims.
