the beet sugar was first manufactured,

Boston Feb. 4.

The funeral of G. r. Miller of Boston
who died in that city February 4, was
held at the home of r. j. Browne last
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr..
Miller was we'll known here, having
spent his boyhood days in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. b. Thompson of Fays-
ton, where he was loved as a son and
brother, and gave full measure in re-
turn, and in later years, he and his fam
lily have had their summer home in this
village. Mr. Miller received his educa-
ton in the common schools and later
studied much by himself Genial. cheer
full and earnest in all he did, of loyal,
generous character, he made his way
into the hearts of those with whom he
associated.
Since 1877 his home and business
have been in Boston. He served his city.
as member of the old city council and
board of aldermen. At the time of his
death he was a member of the Adelphi
Lodge of Masons, Omar commandery, X.
r., Beacon lodge, X. of p, and the Old
Dorchester club. In 1889 he was mar
ried to Miss Clara Browne of Fayston
and together they established and en-
joyed true, happy home. She sur
wives him with their younger daugh
ter, Margaret. Interment was in the
village cemetery besides his elder daugh
ter, Barbara. who died five years ago.
The floral offerings, profuse and heauti-
ful attest to the esteem in which he
was held, and the sympathy for the
deeply bereaved family and friends. J.

RANDOLPH.
Roger w. Hurlburd Spoke Before Wom-
ans Literary Club.

The Randolph Woman's Literary club
celebrated guest night at the parish
house Friday night with 200 guests in
attendance. 1t is generally conceded
that this, the twelfth observance, was
the most successful of any in its his
tory. A reception at s o'clock in the
assembly room of the parish house was
the first of the evenings entertainment.
As the company were ushered into this
room they were led, by the committee,
to the officers and speaker of the even
ing who formed the receiving line, head
ed by the president, Mrs. L. o. Blanch-
ard, and later were shown to the dining
room, in which were the exercises proper.
Mrs. Blanchard introduced Roger w.
Hurlburd of Hyde Park, the speaker of
the evening. Mr.. Hurlburd began by
saying that he was not in the habit Of
speaking to large audiences, but rather
to a company of twelve men, who were
bound to listen, and all of whom were
present at the close Of his remarks.
His theme was what shall we do with
our unfortunate brother, the criminal 7"
and from the first word he had the at
tention and interest of the audience
Mr.. Hurlburd gave instances of his ex-
perence with those who have broken
the law and advocated kindness and not
punishment as the means of reforma
ton, relating his knowledge of our own
Windsor prison, and spoke in eompli-
mentary terms of Superintendent Lowell
and his methods Mr.. Hurlburd predicts
for the criminal more consideration, and
he closed with the thought that
with the adoption of reforma-
ton, instead of punishment, there
must also be reformatories and institu-
tions, similar to Vergennes, in which
the offender can be given an opportunity
to reform. The ladies' quartet, which,
by the way, is one of the best in the
vicinity, is composed of Miss Blanche
Sparhawk Mrs. Alettha Smith, Misses
Lucille Grant and Minnie Barbour, add
Ell much TO the enjoyment of the occa-
sion by their selections. Delicious re-
freshments served in a dainty manner
followed the speaker after which the |
social hour followed.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

When the legislature meets We'd
nesday it will have presented to 1t
for consideration and action. the re-
port of the State Tax Commission, a
commission appointed at the last scs-
sion TO devise some plan for the
equalization Of assessments through
out the state. Under the present
assessment, the property Ill each
county and city is assessed by Il diff
fcrent officer. with the result that
while the tax rate il uniform through
out. the assessment varies in each
county, SO that il land is assessed for
ouc-fourih OF its value in one cOun-
t. and onC-half Of its value in anoth-
er. as is often the case, then the
property owners in the first county
arc paying TO the state just half the
taxes of the property owners OF the
second county. The result is that
there is no such thing ais equal tax
alton in Virginia. In the counties
where the assessment is low, the
tax payers are avoiding their just
proportion Of the burden, and in the
counties where property is assessed
at anywhere near its vafue. the poo
pie are grooming under the load. and
in the meantime the State Treasury
is always depleted If the lcgisla-
ture will adopt some method by
which all property in the state can
be assessed by one set Of officers. and
assessed equally and equitably. we
think the people will be willing Cor
it to adjourn sine die. The present
method is recognized as worn out
and unsuitable for present day needs.
Let us see what our law makers are
going to do about il.

THE MONITOR is HISTORICAL.

Our contemporary, the Alexandria
County Monitor, OF Saturday, prints
a hysterical editorial on the subject
of annexation, and among other
equally as absurd statements says:
Does it mean that the ST. Asaph race
track gambling house with all its
power and dcmoralzing influence is
to open up again?"
1t is TO be regretted that the Mon
itor in its blind passion for gathering
and disseminating scurrilous state
ments, seems prone to print its ar
ticlcs first and look for facts after
wards. We doubt if there is Il man
in either Alexandria County or City
who does not know that the proposed
line Of annexation does not come
within half mile from the old ST.
Asaph race track, and if the Monitor
really did not know this. ii could
have been easily asccrtaincd from
the Board Of Supervisors or the Com
monwealth's attorney of the county,
who have full knowledge Of the silu-
alton. Certainly our contemporary
owes its readers an apology for this
as well as many other unfounded
statements contained in the art icic
referred to. And as Il bit Of advice,
we might suggest that ii would be
wrll for the opposition 10 read up n
little. so as 10 be able to furnish more
substantial facts on which to'basc the
fight of the brilliant array OF foreign
counsel that Alexandria County
seems 10 think il necessary 10 so out
side OF its limits TO employ.
The Monitor. in reference 10 an
ncXation, says:
Congressman Carlin. you know
what is going on in Alexandria city,
and the fourteen thousand people in
Alexandria county want 10 know
where you stand?'
For the information Of the MOni-
tor. we will state that Congressman
Carlin usually stands on his feet
and we do not think that he can be
induced to stand on his head over
annexation or any other qucSr ION.
even for the amusement of The Mon
itor.

The wave of crime shows no ap-
parent diminution. and occasionally
those from whom we have right
to expect better things startle the
world by proving to be wolves IN
sleeps clothing. Such occurrences
are sad, as they bring reproach upon
a profession which most of the civ
ilized world hold sacred. The New
gate Calendar contains more than one
account OF murders committed by
ministers OF the gospel, while in our
own country such crimes upon the
part Of clergymen have become too
common Shortly before the out
break Of the civil war, Rev. Jacob S.
Hardin, of Massachusetts, handed his
young wife a fine apple which the
unsuspecting young woman ate. Her
husband had previously placed poison
in the apple. Her death followed, and
he vanished. He was subsequently
found, tried. and executed. About
three thousand years have elapsed
since the psalmist of Israel passed
from one degree of crime TO another
until he caused the murder of a good
and faithful man. The prophet who
made him condemn himself out OF
his own mouth, among other things,
told him he had given the enemies
Of the Lord an occasion to blaspheme.
Many still refer to the sad incident
in the life of King David in eXtenu
alton Of their own evil deeds. The
case Of Richeson will make the sans
class bolder.

THE BLASTS Or WINTER.

AS is always the case. the polar
wave which spread over Il large por-
ton of the country last week has
brought distress and sulferin" Ia
many. In The large cities. where a
certain percentage of the floating pop

is untold suffering. Men and Wo-

nightly by uniortunatcs who would
freeze to death were they compelled
TO remain on the streets.
There are some persons in Alex
