time. He afterward bought place in
South Wardsboro and lived there, having
his sister, Mrs. Goodell, as housekeeper
a short time. He sold that place and
worked in various places until two years
ago, when he bought the house in this
place opposite c. II. Kennon's, known to
the older residents as the Felt house.
where he lived alone. He took much in
terest in repairing the house and improv-
ing the appearance of the place. Being
fond of flowers he had a large variety
of them, also strawberries and a few
vegetables on the little plot of land
about the house.
He worked during last spring for /. j.
Dutton on what formerly was the II. NJ.
kidder place. He came home about the
middle of June saying he did not feel
we'll Later, June 20 or 81, he went
away, and it was believed he had gone
to Massachusetts, to stay a few days.
Time went on and people wondered at his
prolonged absence. few weeks ago ID.
c. Dexter wrote letters to South Ash
burnham in care of Mr. Robinson's son,
and to Amherst, where his brother and
sister to live. In this way it was learned
that his relatives supposed he was at
al home and was all right. Some months
had passed since he had written to his
son, but as he was not accustomed to
write often that caused no uneasiness.
His son, who works in a chair shop in
South Ashburnham, has been here much
of the time the past two or three weeks,
and a sister of Mr.. Robinson, Mrs Good
ell, and her son, Orson Goodell, also have
been here to learn, if possible, anything

Mr.. Robinson was about 60 years old, of
medium height and rather stout build.
His complexion was dark and he had dark
eyes and hair, but his moustache was
slightly gray. Any person finding any
trace of him is asked to notify his son,
Robert r. Robinson of South Ashburnham,
Mass, who is very grateful to those who
have assisted in searching.

Few men living or dead have done more
Tor humanity and for Vermont during
the past thirty years than DR. H. d. Hol-
ton OF Brattleboro, who has recently re-
signed as secretary of the state board of
health.
His work has been hard, little appre-
ciated at the time. and required quick
cool judgment.
AS a leading newspaper has we'll said
he deserves substantial testimonial
from the state
Modest and unassuming he will never
ask for anything.
His salary has been small and his du-
ties and responsibilities large, but he
has not asked that the one be increased
or the other lightened.
1t was a case of love and duty" with
him.
Instead of honoring dead heroes let us,
when we can, honor the living.
Let Vermont show that she appreciate
devotion, whole hearted devotion, to the
people, now while the man is with us,
not after he is dead.-[Morrisville Mes

ADDRESSES TO WORKING MEN.
Following Speeches at White River
chair and Estey Organ Factories.

Senator william p. Dillingham; of Wat
erbury has made several speeches in
Windham county this week. On Monday
evening he spoke in Jamaica, Tuesday
noon at the White River Chair company's
shop on Vernon street, Tuesday evening
in Townshend, Wednesday noon at the
Estey Organ companys plant and Wed
nesday evening in Westminster.
At the two noon meetings here he ad-
dressed over 800 working men and made
a very favorable impression with his ar
guments for the reelection of President
Taft He devoted himself mainly to ham
mering the low tariff policies of the Dem
ocratic party.
At the White River Chair company's
factory after a bugle call by H. A. Wood,
the employees gathered In front Of the
shop. G. G. Fits introduced Senator
Dillingham;, who spoke about 30 minutes,
outlining the tariff policies of the Re-
publican party since 1860. He said the
Democratic party originally was strong
in the South and was founded by those
who favored slavery. Gradually a change
has come about, and its goal now Is free
trade or low tariff, which is diamet-
really opposed to the Republican idea of
protection for American made goods and
the workers of the country.
He said the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
was framed upon a scientific basis, that
the ldTlII OH necessities Hdu DteT lOWeTeu
while the tax on luxuries had been made
heavier. One of the Democratic tariff bills
passed during President Taft's admins
tration was vetoed by the President be-
cause he thought 1t was not square with
the laboring men. In closing, Sena tor
Dillingham; said the Democrats intended
to take off the tariff on at least two
thirds of imported products, which would
result in a business depression equal to
that experienced during President Cleve-
lands administration.
The talk to the employees of the Estey
Organ company was along the same
brought out more forcefuly. He said
that the Wilson tariff law was similar to
what would be introduced by the Demo-
Gratis If they won this year and that the
results would be the same as under that
law, when 80 per cent of the wooden mills
in New England were closed and millions
of yards of foreign made wooens were
brought here to detriment of home indus
tries. In Vermont there are 1923 different
manufacturing interests and a free trade
administration would take off protection
from sc of them. Industries such as the
wooden and cardng mills in North Ben
dustry which is represented here, would
be affected He read a very compliment
tary eulogy in which Theodore Roosevelt
spoke in high terms of President Tafts
attitude toward labor. At the close of
Senator Dillinghams speech he was
warmly applauded.

RiCHESON IS
TOLD OF FATE

BOSTON, May lS.--Clarenee V.
7. Rieheson. the slayer of Avis
Linnell, slept quietly in his cell in
the death house at Charlestown
state prison last night, ignorant that
the governor had refused eommuta-
tion of his tentence.
The announcement of the decision
OF the alienists that he was sane
and that the governor would not
urge clemency, was left to be made
to the prisoner 1t was expected
that the task would fall on either
the condemned mans counsel, VIM.
A. Moore, the prison chaplain. Rev.
Herbert w Stebbins. or his spir-
itual adviser. Rev. Herbert s. John
son.
The execution of Richeson prob
ably will take place early next week
There is a sentiment against a Mon
day morning execution as occurring
so close after Sunday, which has
been recognized by the warden of
the prison. An exception may be
made owing to the highly nervous
state Of the condemned. and it is
not improbable that Rieheson may go
10 the chair Monday morning
The time within the yeek of May
l9 Is entirely at the warden's dis
erection and only the legal witnesses
will know before hand at what time
the sentence of the law will be car
ried out.
