LAYMEN'S SUPPER
AN UNQUALIFIED
SUCCESS
Over a Hundred Citizens in
Attendance
DR.. L. H. ROSS PRESIDED
Addresses on Laymen's Missionary
Movement by w. ]. Van Patten
and w. II. Spence

The Laymens banquet. for which
preparations have been in progress
for several days, was attended by 116
representative citizens at the gym
nasium of the Y. Nj. c. A. Friday eve
ming The guests were all on hand
at the time set, o'clock, and the
supper and the speech making that
followed were concluded at the sea
sonable hour of $50
The tables set in the form of hol-
low square were plainly but tasteful
ly decorated and prettily lighted
with large number of candles In
glass and silver candlesticks
The supper in itself was ex-
cellent. The ladies. to whom
a large amount of credit is
due, apparently realized that there is
more or less truth in the belief of
ancients that the seat of the intellect
is not located in the head, in the mas
culine anatomy, but lower down It
was mans supper in every paTticu-
lar and the expressions of apprecia-
ton were many and hearty.
The corps OF young ladies who
served, too, If one is allowed to take
an expression from the vernacuar
of one of the speakers, were right
on the job They performed the
part assigned to them in a systemati-
cal manner and the promptness with
which they responded to the demands
Of the gathering was remarkable.
DR.. l.. II. Ross presided in a particu
larly pleasant manner. The doctor
evidently had taken pains to post
himself to considerable extent on the
subject and in his opening remarks
and in his introductions of the speak
ers he had something appropriate to
say
The first speaker was w. ]. Van
Patten, former mayor of Burling-
ton and a man intensely interested
in religious work and the welfare of
the Y NJ. c. A. Mr. Van Patterns
duty was TO explain the purpose of
the gathering, the laymens move
ment in the interest of foreign mis-
sions. Much that he had to say was
new information to a large percent
age of the men present. but the in
tense interest of the speaker in the
story he had to tell kept the close at
tention of his audience He depict
ed the part that America should take
in the eyangelizing of the yet non
Christian part of the world in glow
ing words, and made a special plea
for large representation from Ben
nington at the state convention to be
held at Burlington the second week
in March. In his opening remarks
Mr. Van Patten stated that when

street Friday Afternoon.
The funeral of Edward John Muir
ply, who died early Wednesday
morning of this week, was held from
his late residence on Gage street yes
terday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev.
w. w. Brunk officiating. The fun
eral service was private. The burial
was in the family lot in Park Lawn
cemetery.
Mr.. Murphy was born in Benning.
ton more than So years ago. The
house in which he was born stood ON
Beech street, but has since been torn
down. He was brother of the late
Deacon William E. Murphy the last
OF family of seven, children of John
Murphy and Tryphena Hathaway, his
wife. The deceased had been a resi-.
dent OF Bennington during all of his
long life. He was a mason by trade
an upright and highly respected citi.
zen, kind father, and loyal friend.
HIS passing away will be deeply
mourned.
In the early fifties Mr.. Murphy
went to California He was accom-
panied by his brother William who
was taken i'll with smallpox while
there. On account of this circum.
stance, perhaps, they did not stay
there long. T. w. Park, William
Morgan, and Elijah Dewey were in
California at the same time and the
Bennington men were all located
near together. The Murphy brothers
route to and from the west was via
the lsthmus of Panama.
Mr.. Murphy is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Samuel A. Patterson
ana MISS Flora NJ Murphy, both of
bennington, two sons, Frank Muir
pny OF this place and George Murphy

children, Samuel Patterson and Irene

resident of Bennington and that
many scenes about the village were
more or less familiar to him at the
present time
Rev. W. II. Spence of Rutland gave
a vigorous talk in which he showed
his audience that there is a large
work yet to be done in the foreign
mission field and that the resources
and the impetus to carry it forward
in the future must come from men of
the Christian church. Much of the
missionary work of a preliminary ma
ture has in the past, he said, been
left to the women The work, how

Springfield, Feb 12-The last ma
chine went yesterday from here to
Charlestown, n. H., to the plant of
the Superior Tap Co., corporation
organized five years ago in Spring
field and which is just moving its
plant to Charlestown. Teams have
been employed in moving the machin-

one Is now placed in the new shop
which is soon to begin work.
Some time ago it was thought best
by the officials of the Tap company
to move their plant to Charlestown
and accordingly operations were com.
menced at once in the erection of
shop in that town. The shop which
has just been completed, is a cement
block structure 100 feet long by 40
feet wide. II is built on strictly up
to date principles and everything is

ing that the Y. NJ c. A. work at Col
lege was organized Systematically in
1906. Many difficulties have been en-
countered but an aggressive and per-
severing campaign has been carried
on so successfully that the A. and NJ.
club is now the strongest college Y. NJ.
c. A. in Texas Col. Ward, described
the narrow limitations of the club, re-
stricted to two small rooms, and con-
trasted this unfavorable environment
with the ample rooms for all purpo-
ses which it was hoped to secure in
the proposed new building. He also
spoke of the need of local secretary,
a desideratum which was soon to be
supplied. With these facilities added
he predicted that A. and NJ would
soon have the strongest Y. NJ. C. A. in
the. south. This means more benefit
to Bryan than any local building could
possibly bring.

pie of any other place.
MIR. Cravens said the Alumni asso-
citation had put up very liberal
subscription. This was in response
to pure sentiment. There was no ex-
pectation on the part of those who
subscribed that they would receive
and pecuniary return for the invest
ment But it ought to appeal to the
business men of Bryan as a good busi-
ness proposition. Waco raised $780,
900 to keep Texas Christian Univer-
sity from being moved away from that
city, and it is not worth half as much
to Waco as A. and NJ. is to Bryan.
Mr. Cravens related how the Alumni
association has been fighting single
handed for the independence of A. and
NJ. in which campaign the Alumni had
out of pure love for their alma mater
spent their own money freely and
had even borrowed money for the
cause. They had secured in support
of a constitutional amendment to sep
arate the college from the state uni
versity the endorsement of the Farm
ers' Union. OF the Farmers Congress,
of the Labor Union and of the Con-
ference for Education. We are in a
fair way to get the amendment sum-
mitted and adopted, but the fight is
not yet won 1t takes dollars to win
it.
In regard to a special tax for the
maintenance of the College Mr.. Cra-
vens said he believed the people would
vote for it if they understood the ne
cessity of it, though, as a rule, people
were reluctant to vote a tax on them
selves. This is the danger. The
Alumni need the assistance of the
people of Bryan. Heretofore the Al

Mr.. Cravens related how Fayettville,
Ark, a comparatively small town had
by pluck and liberality won the fight
for the A. and M. in that state against
Little Rock. the capital and largest
city.
In order to inspire confidence and
secure permanency A. and M. must

A meeting of representative busi-
ness men of Bryan convened at Car
negie Hall yesterday at 3 p. m. to
consult with Messrs L. b. Cushing
and James Cravens of Houston and
Hatton w. Summers of Dallas. repre-
senting the Alumni Association and
a committee of cad Is of A.
and NJ. College Y. NJ. c. A., in regard
TO the erection of a joint building on
the college campus for the use of the
college Y NJ. c. A and also for per-
manent home for the "A. and NJ. Al
umni Association. Mayor Maloney
called the meeting to order and asked
Maj. Cushing to state the object.
Maj. Cushing began by saying that
there were three elements more or
less closely connected with the col
lege, the campus people Gncluding the
professors, instructors and employees
of the college) the cadet corps and
the Alumni Association, who iwere CO.
operating in an effort TO erect a
building on the campus for the use
of the Y. NJ C. A. club and for place
of rendezvous for the Alumni
The object of the present meeting
was to lay before the people of Bry-
an this proposition and to ask theil
assistance 1t was the design that
the new building should be mainly
for the use of the Y. NJ. c. A.
The people of Bryan are interested
in every movement for the benefit of
the A. and NJ. college and no move
ment can be of greater Importance
than this one which seeks to place that
great school ON a moral foundation,

UNANIM|TY AND ENTHUSIASM

The people of Texas are interested
in good citizenship.
Mai. Cushing referred to the time
when he was a student thirty years
ago. There were then only about 250
students. about a dozen of whom took
interest in the Y. NJ. C. A. work Now
there are nearly 500 students and a
large number of them are active ear
nest Y. NJ. c. A. workers.
To make success of any work tools
are necessary. The college Y. NJ. C.
A. club has no place of its own in
which to hold its meetings and none
of the fixtures and furniture neces-
sary to the best results in its work.
The present auditorium was built for
conditions that existed years ago and
is now scarcely large enough to seat
the corps of cadets. A. and NJ. is
growing more rapidly than ever be-
fore. thousand students are ex-
pected next year and as soon as dor
mitories can be provided to house
them there will be two thousand or
more 1t was contemplated to make
the proposed Y. NJ. C. A. building
large enough to seat 1900.
The movement must begin at home.
Indeed it had begun among the boys
on the campus. They had raised at
the first meeting $4,000 and had since
increased this to $4,000.
Maj. Cushing argued that this pro-
position has substantial claim on the
business men of Bryan. who are bene-
fitted in material way by the col.

ST. PAUL, Sept. THE split In the

tween the men who represent the peo-
nile and the men who represent the IN
terests Is growing wider.
Today IL became clear that the con-
seryation congress is an upneavai Oh
the people against officials VINO 90
not serve the interests OF the people.
J. B. White of Kansas City, MO-,
carried the banner of the progress
siyes, and spoke as plainly as did
Theo. Roosevelt in his address OF
Tuesday.
Roosevelt's warning against the
spies and spokesman of the interests,
who are hidden in the lists OF dele
gates. and who will take the floor al
every opportunity to- speak In behali
of their masters, was repeated ny
White. White, as he spoke, knew tna'
before him, in the vast audience, witn
delegates badges pinned to their
breasts, were men who would Wiling
ly deliver over to the interests the en-
tire congress, and mislead the people
of the entire country, II that were pos
sible.
why should great congress OF
our people meet here, when We have
a legal congress in Washington, repre-
senting every district OF this broad

this assemblage represents a popular
upheaval of public opinion. 1t Is ami
mated by men who have the welfare
OF this nation at heart. Some OF them
may be right and some may be wrong.
