New York horsemen who will con-
duct the Grand Circuit meeting at En-
pire City track this summer have re-
vised one of their rules which will be
of much general interest to horsemen
1t was stated in the speedway race
that all competitors must be members
of the league Of amateur driving clubs
That was a rule that restricted the
race to members of about six matinee
clubs and eliminated a number OF
amateur drivers who would otherwise
be eligible to compete. They later
realized their error and changed the
rule making it possible for any ANA :
teur to compete providing his trotter
was eligible to the PIG trot

WAS NATIVE OF BARRE.
Mrs. Emma S. (Trow) Averill, Who Died
Recently in 0tisville, Mich.

The following clipping from an Otis
vile, Mich, paper tells OF the death of
Mrs James W. Averill, native of Barre
and sister of Mrs John W. Ayerill Of
Barrel
Died at the family residence, corner
Of Main street and Woodward avenue,
0tisville, Monday evening, October IL, at
about $3.50. The funeral was held Thurs
day afternoon, with service ut the home
at one o'clock, conducted by Rev. +. T..
Edwards of Mt. Morris, a former pastor
of the NJ f. church in OtisyilIe, and the
remains were laid at rest in Smith Hill
cemetery.
Emma S. Trow was born at Barre,
Vermont, on Sept. 6, lS46, and married
Mr.. Ayerill on March A. 1867, at Will
Jamestown, VT, the couple coming to
Michigan in the following May and set
Ting on the farm in Forest. In the early
days upon the farm, Mrs. Averill shared
with her husband all the privations and
hardships incident to pioneer life. The
home burned twice, each time their
household goods and wardrobe being
practically all destroyed; but by dint of
industry and frugaIity, enlarged acreage
and all the comforts and conyeniences of
life upon the farm were eventually ac-
quired, and seven years ago they retired
from farm life and took up their resi-
depce in Otisyille.
1.-TWO years ago she suffered a stroke
and her general health has since been
affected, and another stroke Saturday
evening closed her earthly career.
"On Sept. 4 last, the family gathered
at the village home, the occasion being
Mrs AverilTs birthday. This was the
first gathering in years when the entsre
membership of the family we're in at
tendance, and the mother was the recipi-
ent of many love tokens from children
and grandchildren, the day being most
enjoyably passed
Besides her husband, the following
children are left to mourn the loss of
devoted wife and mother: Mrs Charles
Barden, Weston H. Averill, Mrs. VIM.
Barden, Mrs. Edgar Stimson, Morton Il.
and Gracie r. Averill, also twenty-five
grandchildren, all living in this neighbor-
hood There was one other son, Milton
T., who died at the age of five months.
Two sisters and a brother, living in Yer
mont, also survive her"

FOSTER WILL SPEAK
Before Boston Commercial Club On No
vember IL.

Washington, D. G., Oct. 81 Repre-
sentative ID. j. Foster OF Vermont, chair
man of the house committee on foreign
affairs, mas accepted the invitation of
ethe Commercial club of Boston to de-
liver an address on the new pence move
ment at its annual banquet to be held
at the Algonquin club Boston, on the
evening of November H.
This address will be one OF series
on this subject which Representative
Foster will make during the next few
months in different parts of the coun-
try He has already accepted inyi-
tations to speak in New York, Chicago,
st. Louis and before the students and
faculties Of the university OF Illinois and
of Dartmouth college
The new peace movement, which is
receiving the endorsement of peace work
ers throughout the world, had its origin
in resolution adopted at the last ses-
sion OF Congress. This resolution
emanated from Representative Fosters
committee and provides for the appoint
ment by President Taft of a commits
sion Of five members who are to con-
slider the expediency Of utilizing exist
ing international agencies for the pur-
pose OF limiting the armaments Of the
nations of the world by international
agreement, and of constituting the COM
bined navies of the world an interna.
tional force for the preservation Of uni
versal peace.
Representative Foster has been identi-
fed with the new movement from its
inception As a result of the speech on
tie subject which he delivered in Mexico
on the occasion Of the recent eelebra-
tion Of the centenary of Mexican indie
pendence, the interest and sympathy Of
the sister republic were aroused. Senior
Croel, Mexican minister Of foreign af-
fairs, whom Mr.. Foster had known in
Washington as ambassador to this coun-
try, held an extended conference with
him and became enthusiastic over the
possibilities of this latest effort in be-
half of universal peace 1t is believed
that not only Mexico but leading South
American republic will appoint similar
commissions

Only Few Early Returns

Three Deer Were Shot in That Locality
Up to Noon--one Carcass Brought
to Montpelier on Afternoon
Train To-day.

Vermont's dalayed deer hunting sea.
son opened this morning, to continue
through Saturday Of this week, and the
early indications are that there viii be
less deer shot this year than last when
the total reported to the fish and game
commissioner was 4,736, or about double
that Of the year 1908. The great in
crease of last year over the preceding
year was the change in the law which
permitted the killing of does as well as
bucks. The same law is in effect this
year. and both the male and the female
animals may be shot, one for each hunt
er,
a large number of Barre hunters went
out into the woods, but up to early aft
ernoon no successful reports had come
from them. And up to the same time
only one deer had been brought on the
Central Vermont train from the main
line to Montpelier.
Marshfeld, Oct 3l-Up to noon to-
day, reports had been received by game
warden J b. Pike of three deer shot in
this town. f. H. Unwin of Marshfeld
shot large spike-horn buck, Alph
Lyndes of Cabot secured a doe, and Ern-
est Ide of Calais secured a large buck.
All were shot in the town of Marsh
field
Chester Meaker, in his first deer hunt,
shot 200-pound doe outside of Mont

city two weeks ago and gradually grew
worse.

out alone and when be started out from
his home Saturday afternoon, nothing
unusual was thought Of it by his fam
ly, but wqen he did not return they
began search among relatives and
about o'clock they called in the aid
Of the police A search was continued
greater part of the night on Beech
hill and resumed again early Sunday
morning. lie was found about o'clock,

ROOSEVELT NOT THE ISSUE.
Business Men Warned of What Demo-
cratic Success Means.


New York, Oct 3l.-Ezra P. Prem
tice, chairman Of the Republican state
committee. issued statement last night,
saving in part:
"As Mr. Roosevelt has pointed out,
Roosevelt cannot be the issue in this
campaign, and, if he were, those opposed
to him are taking the wrong way to ae-
conplish their object, For every vote
east against the ticket because Of op-
position to Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Roosevelt
Is wining 10 votes for the ticket because
the people Of this state believe in him.
"The issue is whether the people viii
have state administration such as it
has had for two years, or whether it
viii be put under the control OF Tam
many hail. The success of the Demo-
cratic state ticket now will probably
give the vote OF New York to the Demo
cratic candidate for president in 1912,
business men should understand and
think Of its bearing on Congress for the
next ten years. If the Democrats carry
the state legislature they viii be en-
abled to re-district the congressional
districts Of the state, so that at the
next congressional election and for 10
years thereafter, New York county will
have no Republican congressman, Brook
lyn only one, and tine state viii have
25 Democratic congressman instead Of
u as al present. A congressional re-
apportionment stands for 10 years.
