gether as one of the happiest of their
lives. Mr.. Sullivan is one of the
most active old gentlemen that can
be found He rises from his bed
early in the morning and is busy
throughout the day. He has been a
member of the Baptist church for
about fifty years, being one of the
veteran members of the county. Dur
ing that time he has hardly missed a
service Sundays and until late
years he has attended every service
throughout the week He was an
oil-cloth maker for 40 years, being
one of the first in the town to begin
work in the old oil-eloth factory and

convention he caused a sensation by
a speech in which he denounced
Spiritualistic tricksters and takers
and exposed alleged glaring immoral
ity of some of the followers.
He was born in Canaan, April 26
1863, son of Levi P. and Lucetta j
(Merrow) Barrett. After attending
Bloomfield academy and the Lewis

He was the author of several books
his best-known work being "Cassada-
ga, Its History and Teaching" He
was man of marked character, pos
sessed of intense nervous energy and
intellectually but with a lack of
poise. Delicate as a woman, he had
all the refinement of that sex, com
bined with tremendous amount of
masculine energy. AS a speaker he
was at times impetuous and rose to
flights of eloquence. He was elocution-
ist,orator, poet and politician combin-
ed He was the democratic candidate
for the Massachusetts General court

ty district, and ran largely ahead of
his ticket, but was defeated by rea-
son of the overwhelming republican
majority in the district. In a recent
state election in Maine, Mr. Barrett
was one of the candidates for the
State Senate from Somerset county.
For number of years Mr.. Barrett
made his home in Boston, but spent

than year and half ago, and a
few months later Mr.. Barrett return
ed to his early home in Canaan.

Mrs Barrett one, son, is living in
the West The other surviving rela-
tives are his mother and three sis
ters, Mrs. Oscar Nutting, Miss Lu-
cette Barrett and Mrs. Viola Rand of

The foundation for the monument
was built on Indian island last fall
before the construction season closed,
but neither the bridge or any of the
boats available are of sufficient capa-
city to take the monument itself
across from the main land. The final
stage of the work therefore was de-
layed until late winter, when the ice
on the river is usually the strongest.

Forty Minutes.

Hundreds of workers punched the

the Capital Traction Company lines

breakdown in the machinery at the
Georgetown powerhouse, and from Z
o'clock to 7:40 not a wheel moved
throughout the system.

well-filled cars stood along the tracks,
many of the passengers grumbling be-
cause they were missing breakfast. They
gradually abandoned the wait, and FOR
an hour after the tie-up there was a
procession toward the business sections
of walking ones, many of whom hadn' I
had so much exercise in years.
The trouble started when the big belt
snapped on the fly wheel at the George
town powerhouse that keeps the cur
rent humming out along the trolleys.
The lacing broke, and as the belt thresh-
ed about the shop it was torn into
several pieces.
The heaviest sufferers from the tie-up
were those who use the Fourteenth
avenue lines, though the Navy 1ar'
and Georgetown cars were crowded at
the time. Wherever they could pas
