RUTLAND, Mass, July Is. 1911.
The little village Of Rutland is the
highest in altitude in Massachusetts,. 1t
is located very nearly in the geographical
center Of the state. Its atmosphere is so
pure and other climatic conditions so IA
vorable that the board of health selected
1t as the location Of a sanatorium for tu-
berculosis patients. which has grown UNI
til it is now a large institution accom-
modating $50 to 800 persons, who live
in tents and cottages scattered around
the central building, containing the Of
fees of the administration. The treat
ment is air, milk and exercise: all three
are specific. About 5000 cases have been
treated since the sanatorium was opened
in 1898. and most of them were cured.
Only those cases which the doctors con-
slider hopeful are sent here.
Rutland is typical New England agri-
cultural village, composed of 800 or 400
farmers. raising wheat, oats. hay. pota-
toes and other crops, which are all con-
sumed by the human beings and the ami
mails of Worcester the second city OF
Massachusetts in population and indus
try, only eleven miles away. You can
reach Rutland from Northampton or
from Springfield. Experienced motormen
told us that we would save time and trou-
BILE by taking the longer southern route
by way of Worcester. because the north
ern route via Ware is sandy and the hills
are hard. The road from Springfield to
Worcester is the main thoroughfare be-
tween New York and Boston. and has
been macadamized and oiled nearly the
entire distance, SO that it has a surface
like rubber. is practically dustless and
altogether equal to any highway in the
United States. So we went to Worces-
ter first. and from there climbed up to
Rutland an elevation Of 100 feet, over
excellent roads. through woods and fields
that are illuminated with laurel and
other flowers. and finally drew up at
the porch of the Bartlett Hotel in the
middle of quaint village. 1t was called
the Muscholange Hotel until recently,
but the proprietor got an idea that the
formidable old Indian word frightened
patrons away. so he gave II his own, and
it has been more prosperous since. 1t

Typical Ancient Village.

Like all the ancient villages of New
England. Rutland consists of two rows of
large. comfortable looking houses, all
painted white with green blinds. and
shaded by tremendous elms and other trees.
The rows Of houses are about five or six
hundred feet apart. and between them is
the common where the militia used to
drill on training days. and where the
cows of the community were turned out
to Craze so that the women and children
could look after them while the men were
working in the fields. There is big
white frame church with steeple that
runs up to a sharp point. and clock
that strikes the hours SO fast that
stranger always mistakes 1t for fire.

"Ohio Company" Formed.

March I. 1855, a party of Rutland peo-
ple met at the house Of Gen. Rufus Put
nam and organized the Ohio Company
composed of revolutionary soldiers, who
purchased large tracts of land on the
Ohio river Before these prudent pio-
neers were willing to close the deal they
insisted upon certain assurances from the
government and Manasseh Cutler, Con-
gregationalist clergyman of Ipswich. went
to Philadelphia and secured the adoption
by Congress of what has since become
known as "the ordinance of 1851" guar
anteeing the exclusion of slavery and the
dedication of the vast territory north OF
the Ohio to freedom, education and re-
ligion.
Thomas Jefferson had endeavored to
secure q similar declaration of principles
from Congress, but political partisanshIp
was so intense that he failed. and 1t was
left for Manasseh Cutler to lobby through
this ordinance, which the late Senator
Hoar in ali grafton delivered at the CEN
tennial anniversary Of the founding of
the city of Marietta In 1888 declared be
longs with the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the federal Constitution. 1t is
one of the title deeds of American con-
stitutional liberty" Daniel Webster in
his famous reply to Hayne asserted that
no other single law OF ancient or modern
times exceeded in Importance the ordi-
nance of 1851 While nobody can ever
tell what might have happened or what
might have failed to happen. the force
that finally secured that guarantee pro-
ceeded from the stately village home

of patriotic people organized by the late
Senator Hoar.

Sum of Money Laid Aside.

The Osmanlis have two marriage cere-

couple considered as properly Joined for
conjugal life. AS already indicated. there
is no religious marriage ceremony in the
true sense of the word. AT the civil con-
tract a sum carrying from $50 to 5000. Or
more is decided upon by the parents of
the bride and the bridegroom as compen-
sation money to be laid aside for the
eventuality of divorce or separation. 1t
is, of course, natural that the parents
should try to fix the sum at as high a
figure as possible in order to safeguard
their daughter from the possible caprice
and arbitra riness of their son-in-laW. All

Betsy Brown Reappears.

About the time Rufus Putnam and his
pioneers were leaving for Ohio. Betsy
Bowen disappeared from Rutland, and
nobody in that town ever thought Of her
again until thirty years after. when Dan
iel Webster. Rufus Choate and other IA
nous lawyers were contesting the will
of that brilliant and eccentric belle of
old New York. Nine. Jumel. Then it was
disclosed that she was no other than
Betsy Bowen and the lawyers came to
Rutland for evidence to establish her
identity.
1t appears that when she first appeared
in New York she somehow attracted
the attention of Stephen Jumel. one OF
the richest merchants and shipowners
in America, who took her under his pro-
lection. sent her to Paris to be educated.
then made her his wife according to
law and established her in the finest
mansion In New York city. During his
lifetime and after his death she ruled
society like an empress and married
Aaron Burr. while he was Vice President
Of the United States.
After her death in 1902, she having no
children Of her own, her will was con-
tested by the children of her sister,
Polly Bowen, who married Nelson Chase.
and Reuben Clark, her stepbrother, both
of whom spent most of their lives in
Rutland.

On Washington's Staff.

Rufus Putnam was civil engineer,
and surveyed a considerable part OF what
is now the state Of Massachusetts,. He
was chief of engineers on the staff OF
Gen. Washington during the revolution

fications of the patriotic army on Dor
chester Heights and at other points
around Boston. which compelled Sir VIII
liam Howe to evacuate Boston March Is.
1875 Rufus Putnam also built the forti-
fications at West Point. and did much
other important service for his country
not the least of which was the scheme
TO colonize Ohio and the organization OF
the Ohio Company. 1t was he who IN
sisted that the exclusion OF slavery
should be guaranteed before the land was
bouoht.
There seems to have been an intuitive
realization Of the tremendous importance
Of the movement in which putnam and
his associates were engaged. because
