The remains of Mrs. Martha Wright

The funeral services were held at her

Quoting the service. Her death occurred
on Sunday at 6 p. m. after a week S
illness of acute indigestion. She leaves
a husband and three sons, Albert G.. of
Rutland, Charles of Proctor and John r.
of West Rutland. She was a daughter
of the late Caleb and Harriet Wright of

b. Dodge nearly 80 years ago. They
have resided continually here since their
marriage until last spring when they
removed to Rutland at the instance of
Albert, their son, who is in business in
that city. Their going away from our
place was matter of deep regret by a
large number of neighbors and friends
and her unexpected death caused dark
pail of sadness to fall on our entire town
and especially on her near neighbors
who had been wont to regard her as the
one needful and ever ready in all cases
of sickness or need. Mrs. Dodge was 60
years of age. The bearers were her sons
and Mr.. Leonard, a relative of Mr.
Dodge, of Pittsford. The remains were
exposed to view at the cemetery and
many wet eyes told of the love and re-
spect felt for the deceased A short
service was held at the grave by Rev.
Heller assisted by Rev. Hallowell of the
local NJ. f. church. Mr.. Dodge will con-

Rifle Can Spoil Aeroplanes.

Washington, D. c., April 16.-'It
is reasonable to believe that an aero
plane 1000 yards away would stand
no show if only the service rifle were
used" ....
. That is the conclusion which naval
officers expressed to-day in an official
report to the Navy Department on the
first attempt ever made to shoot an
aeroplane shaped kite from a battle
ship.
The experiment was made April 6,
when the Atlantic fleet was at target
practice off Hampton Roads. Only
the service rifle was used in firing at
the kites. Now preparations are
being made to use a three-inch gun
in another test.
The kites used were box shaped,
4x2 feet. In the third volley, aimed
at the first kite sent up, the string by
which the kite was being lowed was
cut by a bullet and away it sailed
without the number of hits being
ascertained.
Of 100 shots fired very rapidly at
the second kite, forty hits were made,
several cutting the braces and frames.
Gas the bunting covered not more
than three-fiths of the total area of the
kite as presented to the Ship" said
the report, lit gave the excellent re-
suit of forty hits out of 100 shots at
an area of about five square feet on a
rapidly plunging target 500 to 700
yards distant in the air."

The Democratic Program
"The Democratic legislative pro-
gram" says ellison Gardner, friend
of Roosevelt and one of the veteran
Washington newspaper correspond
ents, lis one more in the interests of
the people and less in the interest of
special privilege than any program
outlined in Congress for many years.
The new ways and means committee
for change is made up of men who
notcommitted to special privilege"
A Suit of Clothes
A speaker told the National Wool
Growers association: "The suit
have on cost me $50, and it contains
just So worth of material. All we
want in this tariff business is square
DEAL" The difference between the
price the producer gets for the raw
material and the price the consumer
pays for the finished product is, then,
$50 on a $50 suit. It has been pretty
easy money for the combination of
wool manufacturers.
Taft is Committed
Practically all the tariff bills pro-
posed by the Democrats have been
already Endorsed by President Taft.
He has characterized the wool sched-
ule as "indefensible" and he has
admitted that the cotton schedule did
not meet with his approval. Minority
Leader James R. Mann introduced a
bill last session creating a long free
list, and while he did so merely as an
incident to filibuster, it will be hard
for him to explain now that he was
not in good faith. Thus it will be
difficult to justify a presidential veto
ior any of these bills.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou.
bles. A Butler Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them.

How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a musclar weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Butler
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. ]. C. Crutsinger, 412 Adams
St, Butler, NO., says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills, obtained at Clay's drug
store, have been used by me and two
other members of my family with the
best Of results. lido not hesitate to
recommend this remedy for pains in
the back and other troubles caused by
disorded kidneys"
On Nov. 80, 1903, Mrs. Crutsinger
added to the above: TT now gives
me pleasure, two years after using
Doan's Kidney Pills to say that the
relief they brought has been perma-
nent This remedy Is occasionally
used in our family and never fails to
bring the best Of results"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond
ent of The Times.

ent of The Times.
4 By Clyde H. Tavenner.
Washington, D. c., April-Revisior
downward on the things the farmer
must buy, as well as revision down
ward on the things he produces.
This is the keynote of the Demo
cratic reciprocity and tariff program.
It differs radically from the reci'
procity program contemplated by the
Republicans, which was: Greater
downward revision on the products Of
the farmers than on the products OF
the trusts.
Here are the articles that will 60 on
the free list Under the Democratic
program, each of which would have
remained heavily taxed under the
Republican program:
Lumber, dressed meats and meat
products, flour boots and shoes, sew
ing machines, saddles and saddlery,
wire fencing, baling wire, cotton
bagging and ties, burlaps AND agri-
cultural implements, including plows,
harrows, reapers, binders and now
ers.
This is not all of the Democratic
program for the extra session. Fol-
lowing as soon as possible after the
passage of the passage of the reci-
procity and free list bills, the tariff
will be revised downward on wooden
and cotton goods.
The articles in these schedules on
which the greatest reductions will be
made will be blankets, underwear
and mans, women's and children's
clothing. The Democratic idea con-
templates the placing of the lowest
tax GU the cheaper grades of wearing
apparel used by the poor. Under
the Payne-Aldrich law articles used
principally by the poor are taxed
twice as much as the higher priced
articles used by the rich.
In addition to reciprocity and tariff
revision downward will come bills
providing for the direct election Of
United States senator's, publicity of
contributions before instead
Of after election, and separate for
Arizona and New Mexico.

,onsin, was making his famous rail-

rhe public is interested. Unless this
question is rightly settled,
'eats now temporarily vacant may be
permanently vacated by those who
ave the right to occupy them at this
ime."
Again, while the tariff revision was
lnder discussion, LaFollette was in
ulted, and he said:
Il warn you that if you refuse to
onsider every proposition advanced

our determination to make this tariff

Announcement Party.


Col. and Mrs. w. NJ. Hoge an
nounced the engagement OF their
daughter, Miss Mary to Ensign
Francis Thornton Chew, U. S. n,
at a party Thursday afternoon
which Mrs. Hoge gave to twenty
of Miss Mary's young lady
friends. The party was a
bridge luncheon and it took
place in the academy parlors.
An elegant repast was served
in courses, after which each guest
was presented with a small sill
yer slipper filled with rice and
a small card shaped as two adj
joining hearts, bearing the names
of the bride-to-be and groom-to-
be and the date of the wedding,
April &c. Then Mrs. M. D.
Wilson, a sister of Mr.. Chew,
proposed to Miss Hoge a toast,
which the guests drank from a
silver loving cup, an heirloom of
the Hoge family.
After that the guests played
bridge, at which Miss Ella
Nickel won the prize.
This engagement has been sus-
pected since Mr.. Chew's visit
here last May, but its announce
ment at this time was a pleasant
surprise. The bride-to-be is one
Ct Lexington most. charming
and attractive young ladies. She
has beeen prominent in social
circles ever since she has lived
here and her beauty and vivacity
have made her universally liked.
Mr.. Chew is deserving of the
many congratulations he will re-
ceive. He is one Of the most
promising young men who have
gone out from Lexington. After
his graduation from the local hig
school he received an APP
Pointment to the Naval Academy
at Annapolis and he finished his
course there with much credit to
himself in 1908. He is now an
efficient officer and has every
prospect of gaining a high rank
in the navy.
The wedding will be looked
forward to by Lexington society
