son, the young pastor of Emmanuel Bap-
fist church in Cambridge, Mass, is lodg-
ed in Charles street Jail in Boston,
charged with the murder of pretty Avis

been engaged. Miss Linnell, a student
in the conservatory of music, was found
dead in the bath room of the Young
Women's Christian association house on
Warrenton street. 1t was at first
thought that she committed suicide, but
later developments indicated that she
had unknowingly taken cyanide of pot
assium, sent to her by some other per-
son, and that she used it in the belief
that it would remedy a certain embar-
RAISING physical condition. From the
publicity given to the case in the Boston
papers the fact was brought to light that
Rev. Mr.. Richeson bought cyanide of
pota ssium from the Hahn drug store in
Newton. He claimed that he wished to
kill a dog with the poison, but later
chase secret, Invitations had been is
sued for the marriage Oct. 81 of Mr..
Richeson and Miss Violet Edmands, a
daughter of Moses Grant Edmands, a
wealthy resident of Brookline. Richeson
was arrested In the home of his fiancee,
where he had been staying a week or
more. The police claim to have a COM
plete chain OF evidence against the
minister. Richeson Is a handsome young
man of striking appearance and had the
reputation of being a brilliant pulpit ora

Brattleboro's first residence with ce-
ment exterior in stucco work has been
built by George Croll at 81 Pine street.
1t is two stories high and contains IL

No other agency ever gave such an i'm

SURPRISED ON ANNIVERSARY.
and Mrs. Henry F. Brown Friday, rs
Years After Marriage.

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry F.
Brown of 6 Elm street gave them a sur
prise Friday evening the 18th anniver-
sary of their marriage, about so filling
the sidewalks and confronting Mrs.
Brown when she responded to the ring
of the doorbell about 7.45 O'Clock. The
guests swarmed into the house and it
became apparent that larger quarters
would be necessary. While consideration
of what should be done to provide more
room was in progress Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown had a second surprise by the APP
pearance of their sister, Miss Emily
Brown of Boston, who came on the
evening train on account of the ami
versary. 1t was ascertained that Grand
Army hall was available and so the COM
pany adjourned to that place, where re-
freshments of ice cream and cake were
served, a presentation of the gifts was
made by DIR. H.. D. Holton and music was
furnished by members of Leitsinger's
orchestra, Victor II. Pomfrey playing a
cornet solo, silver threads among the
gold" after the presentation.
The Woman's Relief corps began plans
for the surprise and invited a number
outside that organization. The gifts from
the corps Included three dessert spoons,
six teaspoons, a salad spoon, cream
spoon a~ndsbutter knife. Others gave a
set of dishes, a dozen knives and forks,
two table spoons, a berry spoon ana
money. DR.. Holton's remarks were OF a
felicitous character and the music, fur
nished gratuitously, was very pleasing.
Besides the features already mentioned
games and sociability took up the time
until II o'clock, when all went to their
homes. The following day Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown received numerous letters and
post cards, mailed so they would not re-
ceive them until after the surprise, and
their son, Stewart Brown, came home
from Naugatuck, Conn.,, where he has a
position as stenographer. On account of
illness in the office he was unable to
come for Friday night. Mr.. and Mrs.
Addison Carpenter of Newfane, relatives,
were present Friday.
Henry F. Brown and Nellie w. Wilson
were married by Rev. e. w. Whitney,
formerly pastor of the Universalist
church, in the house which stood
where the Grange store building now
stands. Mr.. Brown is a native of Wards
boro and came to Brattleboro eight to
10 years before his marriage. AT first
he worked for ID. S. Pratt on a farm and
later in the Estey Organ company's saw
mill, which stood on the Brook road.
over 20 years ago he began work for the
Brattleboro Gaslight company in the
electric plant near the Elliot street iron
bridge. afterwards working in the Arch
street plant until about a year ago.
Since then he has been engineer in the
Carpenter organ factory. Mrs. Brown
was born in the hamlet of Brookside near
South Newfane and came to Brattleboro
in 1875. Formerly she was employed by
DR.. Holton. She is a membe of Sedg-
wick Woman's Relief corps. Mr.. Brown
is a member of Wantastiquet lodge OF
Odd Fellows

BUILDING RECORD IN 1911 WILL SHOW AN EXPENDITURE OF

Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
expended in new buildings, not including
the value of the land upon which they
stand is a Conservative m for the
year in B~rattleboro. 1t is an outlay un-
PARALLEL in any one year in the history oil
this town and were the figures not sus-
ceptible of veriication they might be
doubted, but the expenditures for the
different buildings individually foot up
that amount-a grand total of three
quarters Of a million dollars. This in
cludes only money spent or to be spent
between Jan. 1, 1911, and Jan. l, 1912.
In cases of buildings begun last year
only such a proportion as falls within
the present year is included in this total
of $3.50, 900; the Retreat casino and the
Masonic temple, for instance. Neither
does it include the Island park pavilion
which, while standing on an island with
in the New Hampshire boundary, was
built with Brattleboro money ana is
supported by Brattleboro people.
II one is prompted to say that the
larger part of this expenditure has gone
into the Fort Dummer Mills cotton fac
tory, which is true, let him remember
lldl IL liz OuNl1y IL hh"S pS vs.
deducted there would still be left $500, 900,
which in itself is a pretty good record
for one year. And this does not include
the permanent public improvements
other than buildings, such as the Main
street grading, the cement approach to
the town hall, the Starr-Clement granite
memorial fountain, the removal Of a
large part Of the ledge near the Central
Vermont crossing on Bridge street and
the Brattleboro street railway extension
which 1t is expected will be made on
South Main street this fall. By the end
of the year 3S new houses will have been
erected, ranging in price from $500 to
upwards of $12, 000, and at least half a
dozen cellars have been built upon which
houses will be placed next year.
All this indicates a new era of prosperi-
ty for this town, and while it is not to
be expected that another year in the i'm
mediate future will duplicate this one in
this respect the various agencies at
work for the interests of Brattleboro are
not going to relax their efforts, and the
outlook is decidedly promising.

Now Is the Time.

1--WE do not see that Hon. Joseph A.
DeBoer's letter changes the governor
ship situation in the least. All will well
come the time when a governor can be
selected without the expenditure or
time n money by the man seeking the
honor, but we very much fear we are
not living in that g just now.

Well, how are we going to find our
selves living in that age? BY persist
emily saying we are not yet in it?
we admit that we ought to do what
we don't.
What excuse nave we, then?
Just as long as we say n change is
necessary and we know it-and yet re-
fuse to make it
Who is responsible?
We cannot lay this all up to the 9TH
er fellow. If every newspaper IN the
state would refuse to condone Office buy
ing tactics on the part of politicians; II
every leading politician in the state
would refuse to lend his aid to such
schemes or refuse good naturedly to ig-
more them when resorted to by other
men
We could put an end to the practice
before long, because we would. stimulate
a public sentiment that would repudiate
it, as all honest men do, even now, on
second thought.
But we shiftlessly say we'd like to but
we can't n thus shirk off on to
another generation a moral responsi-
bility that belongs to us here and now.
Just as long as we say we cannot
change, we won't.
When we say we will change, we will.
1t is cowardly to say that we ought
to change but can't and refuse longer
to talk about it Silence means the en-
emy's victory every time.-[St. Adams

Bethel Citizens Want Deeoer for Govern

The following declaration of faith" is
being circulated in Bethel and vicinity
and is being generally signed. Bethel
people are back of the movement and 1t
is considered significant, starting in Mr..
Fletcher's own county.
1--WE believe that no man who lacks
the courage of his conviction Is a fit mar
for governor of Vermont.
I'VE will not endorse the candidacy OF
a man who fears to take a stand on any
public question because he is afraid OF
alternating possible political support to
public office to which he aspires.
1--WE believe that Joseph A. DeBoer Is
a man of courage, of high Ideals, or
splendid character and of very unusual
executive ability.
I'VE do not believe that he has been,
is, or will be the tool of any ring, clique,
or of the so-called interests
1--WE believe in the correctness OF his
views on vital public questions, as ex-
pressed by him in his public life and In
his u~tterances.
I'VE believe that Joseph A. DeBoer Is
the best and ablest man available for the
next governor of Vermont.
1--WE heartily endorse the attitude
taken by Mr.. DeBoer in his reply or
October I. 1911, to the letter of inquiry
of October 4, from Editor Langley of the
Barre Times.
I'VE, therefore,, hereby pledge ourselves
TO n whole-hearted effort, and to the
use of every honorable means in our
power, to nominate and elect Joseph a:
DeBoer governor of Vermont in 19lZ.

sewer assessment.
Ernest S. Hall has continued his work
of putting up handsome and serviceable
houses this year, having finished two
and having begun work on the founda-
tions for two more which will be nearly
finished by Jan. l. The two completed
houses stand on the south side of West
ern avenue next west of his own resi-
dence. The first, which he sold to DIR.
F. r. Newell, is one of the prettiest
residences in Brattleboro. 1t is two
stories high, contains nine rooms and is
finished in birch. The other, sold to
Frank e. Barber, Is a two-story house,
also of handsome design, and contains
10 rooms. 1t is finished in oak and

Two apartment houses nave been
erected this year, one on Canal street by
John O'Connor and one on Spring street
by Warren G.. Doolittle. Mr.. O'Connor's
building stands on the north side of the
street, just east of a similar structure
which he built a few years ago. 1t Is
three stories high and contains six tene-
ments of six rooms each. Mr.. Doolittle
tore down a building on Spring street to
make room for a three story house of
six tenements, each tenement having
four rooms. He is working on q foun-
dalton for another house on the same
street. Mr.. Doolittle is remodeling the
old Methodist church building on School
street and adding another story, which
will nrnUida civ - A. 49,
each.
Four foundations nave been put In for
houses for Harry l.. Emerson on Belmont
avenue, the tract opened for building
purposes west of the Memorial hospital.
Contractor William Cushman, who has
charge of the work, will begin on the
frame of one, a gambrel roof house, next
week and soon afterwards will begin the
erection of two others, probably leaving
the fourth until spring unless the wealth
err proves particular good. He expects
to have two plastered by Jan. /. Two OF
these houses will contain seven rooms
and two will contain eight rooms, and
all will be thoroughly modern and desir-
able. Mr.. Cushman also Is building a
six-room cottage house for 10. II. Win

Aviator EIy Killed.

Eugene b. Ely, one of the widely
known aviators, was killed by falling
with his machine on the state fair
grounds in Macon, Ca, Thursday, in the
presence of 5000 people. He had been
making spectacular flights eight days
and Thursday morning assembled to a
height of 300 feet. In the afternoon
after shooting around the track enclos-
ure at great speed he made a dip, put
seemed to lose his grip from the lever,
and the machine plunged to the earth.
Ely jumped from the falling aeroplane
when it was about so feet from the
ground. He died in a few minutes, re-
gaining consciousness long enough 10
mutter: Il lost control. l know l am
going to die" Ely was a native or
Davenport, Iowa, and a graduate OF
Iowa state university. He was a daring
automobile driver before he took up
aviation. He flew from the deck of the
cruiser Birmingham off the Virginia
coast and landed near Fortress Monroe
and later flew ~ miles across the harbor
at San Francisco and landed on the deck
of the cruiser Pennsylvania.

tree and specifically determine the dis
position of its fruit. They prefer that
the church shall become the director of
every department of social activity.
They demand what they call an inter-
national church."
1t should not be understood that the
Universalists new vice president is not
alive to the power of the church in secu-
lar matters. Far from that he believes
that the influence of the church gives
the fundamental moral impetus to all
progress, and that it has been an essen
tial factor in determining the ascending
moral standards. And in that respect
his address was full of virile optimism.
