Cause of Head Troubles.

at his home, No. % Birge street,

effects of some drug taken with sui
cidal intent some time Saturday

lieved that he drank laudanum and
camphor, as bottles which had con-
tanned those drugs were found near

tached to his coat, which indicated
suicide. The note read as follows:
My Dear Nettie:-
Take good care of our dear little
Stanley. Good bye. God bless all.

FULL OF CLEAN FUN
"officer 666" at the Bennington Opera
House Friday Evening

Officer &c.," the play that has
been written and talked about more
than any theatrical production launch
ed in the amusement field In many
years, will be presented at the Ben
nington opera house, Friday, Oct. Is.
The piece by Augustin MacHugh. is
full of extraordinary surprises and
clean fun that keeps its audience in a
constantly expectant attitude and al
most continuous laughter. IL is, in
fact. a melodramatic farce quite out
of the ordinary, and furnishes more
thrills and tense moments than one
can realize as emanating from a sim
gle evenings entertainment
Cohan & Harris are the sponsors
for "Offlcer 666" and this fact alone
is a sufficient guarantee of its worth
as an entertainment. Then, too, II is
a clean play, presented by an admir-
able company of comedians and COM
ediennes, and played with a rapidity
that threatens to break the speed linn
il, and il is filled to the brim with
logical tricks and swiftly moving sur
prises that keep the interest of the
auditor at conceht pitch throughout
its enactment. In short, it is a
charming farce, charmingly present
ed, and as full of laughs as the small
boy is OF ice cream after coming
home from church festival.

DOLLARS AWAKE KINDRED
Many Claimants for Small Fortune Of
Dead Woman.

Burlington, Oct. 15.-When Kate
Whalen died in this city some two
years ago she left an estate of about
$4,000. She was without known rela-
tives and for time il was thought
that the estate would become the
property of the city of Burlington.
The administrator. w. l.. Johnson.
advertised widely for relatives and
the responses developed an unusual
situation which has now come before
Judge Macomber in the Probate
court for settlement
A number of persons, scattered ov-
er the civilized world and claiming
to be first cousins, have responded.
Two assert that they are first cous-
ms on the paternal side, one claims
to be a first cousin on the maternal
branch and there are others. From
Troy, N. Y, comes the claim of
Sarah Hennessey Bureau, and near
Vicksburg, Miss, lives Johanna
Doyle. who has submitted written
evidence in support Of her claim.
The most interesting claim comes
from Catherine Cummins Of Clash
avanague Kilbrittain, County Cork,
ireland. The Doyle claim also harks
back to ireland. II is said that the
late Kate Whalen's mother was a
sister Of Doyle.

death rate today in Vermont is high
er than the death rate in Chicago.
This statement is startling and goes
to show that in the open country,
where there is the advantage OF pure
air, and pure water there is very ut
tie being done in the interest of hy-
giene and sanitation. Good, whole
some recreation can go long way TO
better conditions and aid in the pny-
steal development of the individual.
Play has a marked effect on the
mental development as well, 30 to 30
per cent of the backward children in
our schools being so, because OF pre-
ventible physical defects. A mental
deficiency can usually be traced to
some physical defect and DR.. Brown
said that boy who can play well
can also do other things well. Train
ing along recreation lines, trains his
other faculties, as well, as it is one
of the best avenues of imparting
knowledge.
Play develops the child, morally,
and is important in character build
ing, arousing the imagination, bring
ing the emotions into play and
awakening enthusiasm. 1t also has
social significance and fosters a
spirit of democracy, when the child
learns to subject his will to the will
of others. immortality and inactivity
go together.
The important fact is, that willie
the child has the Unborn play in
stinct, he does not know the rules,
and the problem of leadership springs
up. DR.. Brown said that the women
of the community should cooperate
in this movement and suggested that
the school buy the property in the
rear of the Seventh ward school,
while they had the opportunity.
DR.. Brown is a very able speaker
and has an enthusiastic interest in
his subject which cannot help but
arouse interest in his audience. The
association has been fortunate in Sc
curing his services and mis- talk last
night served to awaken a new inter-
est in the subject of recreation. Ow-
ing to the reception at the Y. M. G.
A. building, there was not as large
an attendance as had been hoped for,
but there was great deal OF interest
manifested in those who were pres
ent.
Superintendent Varney made few
remarks in closing and spoke Of the
success of organized play as it had
been worked out in the school. He
| said that now was the time to bring
about the formation of parent-teach-
ers association and appointed the
following to assist on d committee to
meet with the teachers: Mrs. VIII
liam w. Burke, Mrs. Z. ]. Smith,
Mrs. G. S. Mills, Mrs. Ida Hitchcock,
Rev. w. F. Meyer, Rev. G.. S. Mills
and II. II. Webster.
The committee from the teachers
will be appointed later and will meet
with the parents committee to or
ganize such club in the near fu.
ture.
An informal reception to meet The
teachers and the new principal, +. d.
Mabrey, followed. Music was fur.
nished during the evening by the
Baptist Sunday school orchestra.
