Burlington, Dec. 21--J. j. Flynn,
one of the principal stockholders OF
the Peru Turnpike company, said to-
night that the state had begun Sc
questration proceedings to acquire the
Peru turnpike.
He said that he had been notified

men of the town of Winhall and Peru
at Peru, on December 30
At the meeting the question of dam
ages will be discussed and if the state
will not accept the valuation placed
upon the turnpike property by Mr.
Flynn he can take the matter before
justice in an adjoining town who
will appoint "a men from whom three
commissioners may be chosen to APP
praise the damage.
The Turnpike company can also take
recourse in Bennington County court
Mr.. Flynn said tonight that he had
been in communication with state
officials for some time regarding the
proposition to free this ancient toll
road, the last one in New England, but
not agreement could be reached as to

THE GOOD OLD TIMES"

The Bennington Banner agrees with
the Brattleboro Reformer that the
good old times" have been very much
oyerrated, and there was comparative
~ very little in them to render life
worth the living, and that they were
largely vexation of spirit with no
health in them. Certainly we are Nv
ing in a prosperous and highly sys-
tematized era today, and money can
and does buy thousands of comforts
unknown TO our ancestors but the lux
uries of today have admittedly render
ed each generation much weaker,
even IL wiser. We are today nation
of dependents. We are served by the
pushing of a button, and self-help is
neglected and avoided through nom
use. The world has been vastly help
ed. Of course, by improved methods OF
sanitation and the handling Of disease
The uses OF electricity have added
marvellously to our comfort and con-
venience. Sewerage and plumbing
have been perfected, but two thous-
and years ago the dwellings Of Rome
were warmed by hot air and elevators
were used in public buildings. In
Pompeii houses have been found with
excellent systems Of hot water plumb
ing for kitchens and baths. In many
respects--not generally understood
the people Of pre- Christian eras enjoy
ed wonderful advantages in everyday
living through science, invention and
discovery surprising in many In
stances anything we know today And
these were certainly "old times"
But all that is beside the point. The
too prevalent idea is that our fathers
grandfathers necessarily lived hard
and uncomfortable lives because OF the
lack of some or all of the conveniences
of today. This ! am not prepared to
admit. Their wants were few and
they had the means and energy to sat
isfy them. Such class distinctions as
We have today, builded by the might
Of the strongest, were unknown. Ev-
cry man was on an equality with his
neighbor. This being the case we may
assume that discomfort envy, idle
ness and all the evils which follow
in their train were comparatively un-
known. II was an era Of plain living
and high thinking, and after the
labor Of the day our grandparents
wendell their way to bed at a cody
hour, heralded by the tallow candle.
They knew not Of the push button, and
we're not compelled to borrow quar-
Ter Of the neighbors to chuck in the
gas meter. 1t is true that the boys
and girls were deprived Of the vast
moral and regenerating spiritual up

MISS MOULT0N DIES
Angel of David's Island Gave
Fortune to Charity.

Miss Eliza Moulton, known as the
friend of dumb animals and the "angel
Of Devid's Island" died from kidney
disease and heart trouble yesterday
at her home, 257 Huguenot ST., New
Rochelle. She was eighty-seven years
old. Miss Moulton was at one time
wealthy woman, but gave away most
of her estate.
She was the daughter Of the late DR.:
Peter Moulton, of East Chester ana
New Rochelle, who was called the "be-
loved physician" of Westchester Coun-
~. During the Civil War, with Mrs.
Jane A. Lester and Miss Martha Re
noud she daily visited David's Island,
now Fort Slocum, about a mile on
New Rochelle, going in rowboat
through the ice in winter. She car
ried to the soldiers in the army hos
pital Undertaking, cakes. pies, bread
and jellies Of her own making, and
every Christmas she baked all the
pies for the troops and hospital there.
For many wears she took Maynard
girls from homes and gave them a
home with her. She cared for stray
cogs and was one of the first in West
chester County TO start the movement
for the prevention OF cruelty to ami
mails. She gave largely to churches
and spent fortune in distributing
Bibles.
Moulton Hall. which cost S5O,0OO,
was built by her and presented to the
New Rochelle Woman's Christian lem
rerance Union. The citizens of Ne"
Rochelle plan to erect drinking foun-
tain in her memory. When they pro-
posed to erect it two years ago MISS
Moulton said
wait until am dead. don't care
how soon the end comes, for | am
ready. You may do with me anything
Won wish after that
