"The Goddess"

One OF the most sensational steps in
the art was brought forward when "The
Goddess" was conceived and released by
the Vitagraph Company, as this marks
the era of the continued photopIay in
chapters. 1t is known and conceded
that serials have been on the wane, par
ticularly the blood and thunder type,
which are nothing but series of thrills
loosely joined together.
When 1.-THE Goddess" was conceived, it
was decided to vary from the common
place and produce a realcon,inued photo
play in chapters similar in all respects to
the continued stories appearing in maga-
zines and newspapers. Gouverneur Nor
ris, the author of the story, wrote "The
Goddess" in its entirety. and Charles w.
Goddard in collaboration with Albert E.
Smith and Ralph Ince scenarioized it.
Great difficulty was experienced, particu-
larly with regard to having a great
amount of heart interest in each and
every chapter. As rule, serials are good
with some installments and very poor in
Others and the audiences never know
what to expect with the next installment.
The true art of story writing, however.
is followed with "The Goddess" !" as each
chapter of the sameincreases in iutensitg
and dramatic action. This great serial
commences at the BIJOU next Tuesday

Plumley in MOrrisville

| The M. E. church was crowded last
Sunday evening, when Hon. Frank
Plumley of Mortified addressed union
Brotherhood meeting. Mr.. Plumley gave
an address upon "Man's Religious Ten
dencies," which was both eloquent and
scholarly.
In the course of his address the speaker
emphazized the fact that from all the
years since the dawn of human history.
yea, from the mystic realm into which
only the yaguest of tradition reaches, we
receive iudisputable evidence of mans re-
ligious tendencies. In his crudest state,
as well as in his most civilized, man in
stinctively reaches out toward some
higher power than himself The Gust toms
of the ancient Egyptians OF embalming
their dead that the bodies might be
ready for the re-incarnation was sug-
gested AS proof of their belief in immor-
tality, which is part of religion, which
correctly speaking is the reason for re-
lgion. Our aborigional Indians believed
in the Great Spirit and worshipped Him.
They also believed in the Happy Hunt
ing Ground for the souls abode after
death.
Very forcibly and eloquently the speak
er pointed out the greater reasons for the
modern mans belief in God. We know
so much more about His handiwork
than did early man. Mr.. Plumley held
his audience spellbound as he pictured
the immensity of the infinitely big-the
stars, the planets the whirling suns-and
the minuteness of the infinitely small
the molecules, the atoms, the electrons
each little or big works out the name
God" in its movements.
The meeting was opened by praise
service, led by the Methodist chorus
choir. Rev. w. E. Baker read the scrip
lures and Rev r. D. Cranmer offered
prayer. The benediction was pronounced
by Rev. w. T. Best

D. III. Bedell Dies Suddenly

Darius H. Bedell, one of the best kno wn
livestock buyers in this section of the
State, died suddenly at his home on Ma
| pie street last Monday evening at few
minutes after nine O'Clock, the cause of
death being given as apoplexy. He had
been confined to the house most of the
| time a;noe atweek ago last Monday,
when hewas taken with acute indiges-
tion while buying stock at the station.
He had been feeling as we'll as could be
expected Monday and went to the barn
at night to attend to feeding his horse
and visited with Mrs. Bedel during the
evening. He complained. however, of a
pain in his head and neck, but attributed
it to rheuma tism. At about nine O'Clock
he went up stairs to retire and had un.
dressed and turned out the light, when
Mrs. Bedell heard him fall to the floor.
She at once called upon neighbors for
help. but dea tn was evidently instantane-
Gus. Mr. Bedell had not been feeling
well since a tall into a silo at his farm on
Dorchester Heights. several months ago.
and it is thought that death was due to
injuries received at that time.
The funeral will be held from the house
tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock,
Rev. r. D. Cranmer of the Universalist
church officiating. The remains will be
inferred in the family lot in Pleasant
View Cemetery.
Darius Henry Bedell was born in Wood
bury, June l, 1S49, one of seven children
of Daniel c. and Nina Foss Bedell. He
took advantage of what opportunity
the district schools in those days afford
ed, but at an early age started out for
himself and has since devoted an unusu-
ally active life to the pursuits of farming,
numbering and stock buying, having
been successful to a marked degree in the
latter work. For the past sixteen years
he was w. A. Ricker's Lamoille County
He was married "A years ago next |
month to Mary Jane, daughter of Caleb |
and Catherine Blakely of Hyde Park. To
their union was born nine children, six of |
whom survive. They are Mrs. Lila Ed
gerton, Hyde Park; Mrs. A. B. Gill, Nor
risville; A. c. Bedell. Elmore; Mrs. F. c.
Peck. Mrs. Roy c. Stafford and Miss
Bedell of Morrisville A daugh-
ter, Gladys, died four years ago next
August; son, Winfield, died in child
hood and another in infancy. Mr.. Bedell
moved his family to Morrisville from
Wolcott % years ago. since which time
1e had lived in this village.
Besides his immediate family, he is sur
rived by three sisters. Mrs. c. A. Andrews,
Scituate Center, Mass; Mrs. John Ow-
ms, South Weymouth, Mass, and Mrs.
Abbie Amsden, Morrisyille, and one
brother, L. A. BedelI, of Stowe.
The deceased was good citizen and in
lis extensive business dealings made
arge circle OF friends, by whom he was
leld in high regard. He possessed bluff,
rank manner, and was often misunder-
tood, but all who knew him will
emember him as an honest, kind-heart-
d man. iudulgent in his family, a loyal
riend, good neighbor and wise coun-
ellor, a man who will be sorely missed
q the family and also in the community.
The sorrowing ones have the sympathy

Fell Through r. r. Bridge

and exceedingly painful accident last
Monday night bet ween halt past six an
seven o'clock, when coming through the
railroad bridge. He was carrying a
basket of clothes and as he was look
ing for wild engine to go west about
that time, he was walking on the string
ers at one side of the track. He must
have slipped, as he fell through between
the striDgers and down about 25 feet,
striking upon his hands and head upon
the ice, landing only few feet from open
water. Harold Magoon and Arthur
Wheeler heard his groans about twenty
after the accident, and went to
his assistance. With the aid of others
they moved him to his home in the
Earle residence on Brooklyn street. DR..

his wounds, which consisted of a COM
pound fracture of the left wrist, a COM
pound dislocation of the right Thumb
and severe cuts and bruises on the face
and body. His condition was reported

is thought that there will be no serious
results. Mrs. Page is caring for him

SCIENCE INVENTION.
New Way to Make Pure Iron.

An entirely new method Of produc-
iny pure iron. which, it is believed,
will save the electrical industries OF
the country over $15,0O0,O00 annually,
has been discovered by DR.. Trygve
Yensen, an assistant in the engineer
ing experiment station Of the Univer-
sity of Illinois.
The method used by Dr. Yensen con-
sists of melting electrolytically refined
iron in vacuum, reducing the impur-
tiles thus far below any point which
had been reached by previous invesd-
gators. The magnetic property of this
vacuum fused iron has proved to be
as remarkable as its purity. Its max
imum possibility. e., measure of ease
with which it can be magnetized, was
found to be about 10000, which is two
or three times higher than for the best
magnetic iron or iron alloy previously
produced.
A practical result Of this investiga-
ton is that if it should turn out to be
commercially profitable the amount of
material needed for electrical machin-
cry such as transformers could be cut
in two, and the losses which occur
continuously as long as the machine
is in operation would be greatly min
imiZed.

The work of the survey is conducted
under three scientific branches and in
cludes three corresponding kinds Of
activity. Under the geological branch
Investigations are made concerning the
mineral resources of the entire United
