Roach.

Thomas A. Roach died last week
Monday afternoon at his home on
Maple street after six years of illness
during which he was unable to work.
For three months he has been con-
fined to his bed. Death was due to
chronic hronchitis and heart trouble.
Mr.. Roach was born in Danville, P. O.,
January 4, 1858 and when IL years
old came to st. Johnsbury with his
parents. He had one brother, P. A.
Roach, the well known grocer. For
time he was employed in the ma
chine shops at Lyndonville, then
learned the stone cutters trade which
he followed as long as he was able
to work. In February 1892 he was
married to Miss Mary Hurley who
died ID years ago leaving two child
rem, Alice and Leo, who survive their
father. Their mothers sister, Miss
Ellen Hurley, has made a home for
them all these years and tenderly
cared for Mr.. Roach during his ILL
ness. The funeral was held Wednes-
day morning from ST. Aloysius
church, Rev. T. J. Leonard ofciat-
ing. The bearers were Daniel Lynch,
Charles Stenson, Edward Ling and
Thomas Tierney and interment was
at the Roman Catholic cemetery.

Mrs. Robert Mackinnon gave an ex-
cel1ent paper on our local trees,
in which she called to mind many
trees in town which were planted by
some of the old residents, and which
have been carefully preserved for
many years. The story of these trees
formed some local history which was
very interesting and which was I'M
known by many who listened to her
paper She quoted many pleasing
passages from poets who have been
inspired by these cheerful, good
natured, graceful trees, and her pa
per was complete in historical and
local interest.
Mrs. Cross appointed Mrs. F. G..
Bundy, Mrs. A. F. Nichols and Mrs.
H. G. Ely a nominating committee

The floral decorations included
some pussy willows brought by Miss
Rooney and some double nasturtium

Matter Much Discussed at April
Meeting-An Address on Forestry.
There was large attendance at
the April meeting of the Woman's
club Monday afternoon, and consid-
cradle time was devoted to business.
The president reported $61.10 re-
ceived from the district nurse par
ties and the full amount has not yet
been received. In the absence of
the chairman of the education conf
mittee, Mrs. J. f. Puffer, Mrs. r. w.
Simonds reported the Mothers meet
ing held at Mrs. G. Fl. Cross Wednes-
day afternoon. There was a good at
tendance. and interesting talks were
given by Mrs. David e. Porter and
Mrs. F. E. Potts. A piano solo was
played by Mrs. E. B. Jacques. The
president announced that these meet
ings would be open to all mothers in
town who are interested, whether
club members or not. New members
announced were Mrs. w. J. Aldrich,
Mrs. w. o. Rocheleau, Mrs. Ruth
Evans and Mrs. Charles Silsby.
The club house soliciting commit
tee asked for more time for their
work as they had not been able to
see all the members as yet. They
reported having found a large ma
jority in favor of the club house, and
no member of the committee was dis
couraged. Mrs. G.. F. Cheney, speak
ing for the soliciting committee,
said the two main objects in hav-
ing a club house were to have a
more satisfactory meeting place,
without climbing two flights of stairs,
and to furnish club room for girls
not living at home, giving them
better opportunity for social life. The
rIx ~ fai%
which must be answered by the club
were: Will the club own the club
house or will it be owned by syn
dictate? Will there be rate of in
terest guaranteed by the Club? Must
all shares be paid for at one time,
or can there be different times of pay
ment? Would there be any liability
to shares being assessed? It was
voted that the money pledged be
paid in at least, three installments
The other questions were not ans
wered, but the matter was deferred
until a later meeting.
Mrs. D. G. Stiles sang very &C
ceptably 1.-THE Winter Lullaby"
Miss Alice B. Warden accompanying.
The program was in the hands of
the forestry committee, Miss Brid-
gett Rooney chairman. She gave
an outline of the work the commit
tee has done, and presented the
speaker, Hon. Austin f. Halves,
state forester of Burlington. He
spoke of forestry as a social ques-
ton, giving as reasons the fact that
in the disappearing of forests in the
back towns other property becomes
less valuable there is an increased
incentive to move out of town, and
taxes are greater on those
who remain. Labor is wanting,
idleness causes shiftlessness and
degradation of character. The
same conditions prevail in vii
lagos where saw mills are depended
on for employment, and the mills de-
pend on forests for lumber and water
power. He spoke of the beauty of
the scenery as an important reason
for maintaining forests; of the ideal
