who has had some training at c. L. I,
pitched for Moosup. The Jewctt City
players found him hard to hit. Freesh-

found it an easy matter to hit Jewett
City's pitcher and run the score up
to 81 in Moosup's favor. The Cen

The usual quietness of the Glorious
Fourth in Westerly was just bit dis
turbed when the big fire alarm bell
tolled off 2-6 three times just before
nine o'clock in the evening and told
Of a fire at the house at No. 4 Park
avenue, occupied by Albert G. Barber
and family. The motor apparatus, the
Ones and TWos made a quick run,
and found a small blaze on the piazza
roof, evidently caused from fireworks.
It was extinguished by a small guam
ttty of chemicals from a, portable fire
eXtinguisher. The person who discov-
cred the blaze telephoned to the te1e-
phone exchange and the alarm was
sent in from that office Had the tel
ephone communication been to the
central fire house direct, only one piece
Of apparatus would have responded and
equally efficient service rendered, mi
nus the general excitement caused by
the sending in of a full bell alarm
and the response Of the whole fire de-
partment.

Mass, next Saturday. He was ar
raigned on Tuesday and pleaded not
guilty to the charge of larceny of the
auxiliary boat Rita, the property of
Louis Rioux, Of Somerset, and valued
at $1,000.

by several persons who saw him run
the boat aground at Quonocontaug,
and who saw him land in a yawl
stolen at Jamestown, and carrying q
net bag containing g. pair of field
glasses and a compass also stolen
from the latter place. This bag and
contents were recovered by Deputy
Sheriff Casty in Pawcatuck. After
the arrest of Belmont, Chief Brown
communicated with the chief of police

found in the boat with a Fall River
address. In this way it was ascer-
tanned that the Rita was stolen from
Somerset and Belmont was delivered
to Chief of Police Donohue of that
city.
Chief Brown, Policeman Ferguson
and four others have been summoned
from Westerly as witnesses in the
case, and will be in the Somerset

Patterson.

1t is something fine to have lived
in a community for more than 40
years with such helpfulness of hand
and cheerfulness of spirit as to leave
friends among all sorts and condi-
tons of men. To have done it so un-
obtrusively that even those nearest
never realized the strength and extent
of the influence until the end brought
it to light, is only to make the lesson
more emphatic. Capability in many
different directions, unselfshness
amounting to absolute devotion in
times of sorrow and loss, a self-con-
cealing heroiSm that could bear all
things itself more easily than it could
see pain inflicted upon others-those
are some of the things for which
Marion Dean Patterson will always be
remembered by those who knew her
best. Her death, in St. Johnsbury, on
Wednesday, September 6, in the house
where she was born, was not a sur
prise to those who had any knowl-
edge of the long and losing fight she
had been making; and the funeral on
Saturday, September 8, brought to-
gether a large company of sympa-
thetic friends and sincere mourners.
She was born May IL, 1870, gradu-
ated from ST. Johnsbury Academy in
the class of 80, attended the Boston
cooking school, 1S94-6, taking a
course in the chemistry of food at
the School of technology; was ma
tron, for one year, Of the city hos
pital at Wilkesbarre, Penn; for an
other year was teacher in and super
visor of the School of Domestic Sci
ence in Truro, N. S.; for three years
! held the position of matron in the
School for the Deaf at Northampton,
| Mass. Later years she had spent at
home where her presence had be-

able During the last two years she

Page has been indicated in their
verdict. The result shows that the
man with money has the same al
vantage in a direct appeal to the
people that he did under 5 the old
methods. We congratulate Sen. Page
on his victory because he has met
the most bitter charges made against
a vermonter in recent years and the
people have voted him not guilty
Gov G. w. Gates did not win the
nomination but has lost nothing in
the esteem of the people. He did not
fight for the nomination. He simply
stood for the better things in politics
and has committed no act that will
cause him regret. His friends have
the satisfaction of having voted for
honesty in politics and are not asham-
ed of their action. The governor will
continue to serve the people faith
fully until the end of his term and
return to private life with the full
respect and confidence of all the peo-
pie.
As for ex-Gov. Fletcher the result
shows that the people did not take
him at his own estimate Of himself.
We congratulate the winners in the
other contests. There was little to
choose between the candidates and
the state was sure of good man in
case either candidate won. Vermont
is assured of a good working admin
istration for the next two years.
