Dewitt MillerLectur Excellent.

The third number of the lecture
course was lecture on the "Sufi
cheney of the Republic" by Dewitt
Miller and his received nothing but
praise from all who heard it. He
spoke of the general characteristics of
the different nations as reflected in
their peoples and finally spoke at
length upon the United tates. He ex
pressed the belief that it is only a
matter of few decades when the Unit
ed States and Canada will be one he
upheld the policy of the government
in building up and maintaining large
navy and touched upon a number of
other vital is uas of the day.
Through it all he held the close atten-
tion Of every member cf the audience
and with his funny stories and dry
witticisms kept them in the best of
humor. Several have pronounced it
the best lecture they have ever heard
in Barton and all pronounce it equal tc
the best. Dewitt Miller would fine
a full house and cordial welcome
should he ever come to Barton again.
The next number is the glee singers or
January %. This number will un
doubtedly be the star number of the
course.

Walter Burke.

Again it is the sad duty of the Mon
itor to record the death of one more
of Barton's highly respected citizens.
At ten minutes past one Monday
morning Walter Burke passed on into
rest and life. He was born in Ire
land, August i9, 1923, and was in his
83d year. He immigrated to the
United States, landing at New York
city about SIS years ago. After living
in that city for time he moved with
his family to Orleans county, living
first in Craftsbury and later at East
Albany. A little more than seven
years ago he and Mrs. Burke moved
to Barton and for six years his home
had been at Hotel Barton with his
grandson. J. V. Rowen. Mr.. Burke's

the death of his wife very deeply and
never seemed quite so happy and
cheerful after she died. Of a large
| family Of children only one is living,
John c. Burke of Lowell, Mass.
There are nine grandchildren living.
| Mr.. Burke's last illness lasted little
more than year. He was affection
ately cared for by Mr.. and Mrs. J. '.
Rowen until his earthly life peaceful
ly came to an end. ''Grandpa, as so
many loved to call b m, will be great
ly missed. While in health he was a
| familiar figure on our streets. He
had CHEEKY greeting for all his
! friends, and everybody liked to meet
him. His conversation showed keen
thinking, shrewd powers of observa-
tion and much intelligence. And in
many quick answer he showed the
ready wit, the sparkling humor. that
made his intercourse with his friends
so delightful. His home life was
very pleasant and his devotion to his
wife and family very beautiful to
the very last moments of his life. He
was man of strong personality. He
made friends very easily and his pass
ing away is a distinct loss to our COM
munity, and real sorrow to his many
friends. The funeral services were
held at East Albany Wednesday fore
noon a. ten O'Clock. The services
were held in the Catholic church, and
his remains were laid to rest in that
place by the grave of his wife. He
lived and died in the faith Of the
Catholic church of which he was 9
worthy member. He was a deeply
: religious man. He loved bis God, his
! church, and his fellowmen. The
members of his family that survive
: have the deepest sympathy Of their
many friends.

ably Settled by Compro rise.

1t was jolly good crowd that re-
turned to Mon tpelier last week to
take up anew their duties as states
men. 1t was indeed a reunion of the
legislature of 1910 and although there
was much handshaking they proceed
ed to get in couple of hours of work
Tuesday evening. The work of the
evening was mostly routine in it's ma
ture but it saved two hours Of the next
DAVIS work. Nothing extraordinary
was done Wednesday except to clean
up much unimportant matter. The
house did however pass Mr.. Carll's
Essex county deer bill which gives
that county the whole month of No
vember in which to hunt deer. There
was some opposition to this bill but
the popularity Of Mr.. CARL pulled the
bill through by an ovewh elming major
ity. The bill is endorsed by the joint
committee on game and fisheries and
will probably have no trouble in the
senate.
