field,

Plainfield. Nov 1.-THE funeral OF
A. V. Taylor was held from his late
home at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The death of Mr., Taylor, at 81, re-
moves from the town an old and respect
ed resident and citizen.
He was born on a large farm just over
the Marshded line in 1882 and lived
there until 1868, when he bought and
moved to the farm where he died. In
1892 he purchased and removed to the
farm on the Barre road and was one of
the large and successful daiymen of this
section until about 10 years ago, when
he returned to the village farm, selling
his larger one TO Dana Davis of Ner-
shire
At this time his life was saddened by
the death of Victoria Powers. his wife,
but his niece, Mrs. Julia Powers Cum
mings OF Randolph has since made her
home with him and ministered to his
needs, than whom an own daughter
could have done no better.
Mr.. Taylor never sought public ia
vor, but was first constable of the town
from 1873 to 1875. inclusive, and list
er in 1881 and 1882. He was com
panionable neighbor and young people
found favor with him aud his
merry story and hearty laugh will be
missed by all who knew him.

Burlington, Nov. ll,-Sentences Of not
less than one year nor more than IA
months in the house Of correction were
given Josephine Pasha, Margaret Fitz-
gerald and Addie Eyerlith yesterday in
city court for street walking. The girls
all pleaded guilty to the charge, the ar
rests being made on warrants issued by
States Attorney Hopkins and the prose
cution made under the common law.
The cases of Marjorie Cochran and Haz-
81 Warren were continued until to-mor-
row, following their plea of not guilty.
Heretofore, women suspected of be-
ing prostitutes have been prosecuted un-
der the statutes of Vermont or under
the city ordinances, but many were ac-
quilted because of the lack of evidence.
The prosecutions closely follow the stir
ring up given by DR.. Carl Aronovici who
claimed that the conditions regarding
morality in this city were deplorable.
The girls who were sentenced are all
young. none of them being over % years

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. ll-Federal aid

ernor Major of Missouri and Senator

session of the United States good roads

miles of good roads could be built for
the cost of one battleship.

MEXICO BANKS SUFFER.
Many of Them Sustain Long Continued
Runs by Depositors.

Mexico City, Nov. 1.-THE acute stage
of Mexico's economic situation was man
ifested yesterday in long-continued run
on the banks and served to aecentuate
the fears of the Mexican people. This,
combined with reports OF military oper-
ations in different parts of the republic,
appears to have distracted the public
mind for the moment from the possible
dangers in the strained relations with
the United States.
Among the Mexican officials anxiety
is well masked, however, those connected
with the government continuing to man
ifest complacence over future develop
ments. At all the legations there is
anxiety over the situation and among
the better informed business classes.
The waiting policy has now been
transferred to Mexico City as General
Huerta considers that his note to the
diplomatic representatives places the
burden of future action on Washington.
The run on the National bank and the
bank of London and Mexico, which was
begun Saturday, had not abated at the
closing hours. The doors were locked at
the usual time, but depositors within
the building continued to march past the
paying tellers until six o'clock. An ae-
curate statement of the amounts with
drawn was impossible to procure, but
the aggregate was large.
The government announced in the
afternoon papers that it intended to or
der the immediate coinage OF 50,000,000
pesos in 50-cent pieces, the coin recently
made legal tender, but there is doubt
if this amount can be put out in time
to satisfy the public. The volume of sill
yer currency in circulation in the capi
tai was much larger than usual last
night, but that there is tendency to
horde it it was indicated by the fact that
some of the stores were cashing paper
only at discount. At some stores the
customer was asked if he had the exact
change for the purchase, and, if not, the
sale was refused. The credit slip sys-
tenn inaugurated last week has not
proved popular.

MILLION DOLLAR SUIT ENDED.
In Which Mrs. Joseph A. Blake Sued
Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay.

New York, Nov. ll--Announcement
was made last night by Arthur c. Train,
counsel for Mrs. Clarence II. Mackay,
that the action commenced in the
supreme court by Mrs. Joseph A. Blake
against Mrs. Mackay for 81 100000 for
alleged alienation of the affections of her
husband, DIR. Joseph A. Blake, was dis
continued yesterday.
At the time Mrs. Blake signed CON
sent to the discontinuance of this
action" the announcement read, "she
executed an instrument releasing Mrs
Maekay from all claims of every descrip-
tion and character. Not one cent has
been paid or promised to Mrs. Blake,
either by Mrs. Mackay or by any one
acting for her, or in behalf for the dis
continuance of the lawsuit or the exeeu
tion of the release"
Mr.. Train refused to make any further
comment on the discontinuance of the
suit saying the statement was self-ex-
planatory. George Gordon Battle, coun-
sci for Mrs. Blake, said last night that
he had absolutely nothing to say con-
cerning the statement issued by Mr..
Train.
Russell II. Landale, personal counsel
for Mrs. Blake, and member of Mr..
Battles firm, later declared that his
client had received no monetary consid-
Grafton and that none had been prom
ised to her, thereby confirming the state
ment made by Mr.. Train.

GREAT CARE NEEDED.
Declared Asquith in Defining Great
Britain's Attitude Toward Mexico.

London, Nov. 1.-THE prime minister,
II. H. Asquith, discussed the Mexican
question in his annual speech at the
lord mayors banquet last night.
"Our interests in Mexico" said the
prime minister, "call for vigilant care.
Mexico is still in the throes of civil
war, but there never was and never has
been any question of political interven-
ton by Great Britain in the domestic
concerns of Mexico, or in the Central or
South American states.
ut is no part of our duty TO prevent
revolutions or control civil wars. The
utmost we can do is to give what pro-
lection is possible on the coast to British
subjects and property. There have been
rumors that, after the United States
had adopted line of their own in regard
TO Mexico, we took line calculated de-
liberately to thwart America. There is
not vestige of foundation for such a
rumor.

because having neither the will nor the
power to intervene we were bound to
