MRS. 5oIsSEVAlN DEAD
Prominent Suffrage Workers Collapse
Dues to Over-Exertion

Los Angeles, Calf, Nov. 21.-Mrs,
Inez Milholland Boissevain, widely
known suffragist and welfare worker,
died in a hospital in this city shortly
before midnight Saturday night, after
an illness of 10 weeks. She was 30
years old. Mrs. Boissevain was
stricken suddenly while addressing an
audience in Los Angeles during the
recent presidential campaign, and
tainted on the platform at the meet
ing. She was removed to a hospital
and her husband and parents rushed
from New York to join her.
Mrs. Boissevain's illness was dag
nosed as aplastic anemia, and blood
TRANSMISSION was resorted to in an at
tempt to improve her condition.
1t was stated that Mrs. Boissevains
trouble originated in her tonsils
which became inflamed as the result
Of too constant speaking during the
campaign. She had been weakened
by over-exertion, and when she be-
came i'll her system failed to resist
the advance of the disease.
Inez Milholland was born in New
York city, August 6, 1886, and re-
ceived her education in New York,
London and Berlin. She was gradu-
ated from Vassar college in 1909. In
1912 she was given the degree Of
LII. p. after a course at New York
university law school. She took a
leading part in the shirtwaist and
laundry strikes in New York in 1912.
She was most widely known, however
as an active advocate of woman suf-
frage. She was a member of the po-
litical equality league, the womens
political union the national child la
Dor commission. the women's social
and political union of England and
the Fabian society Of England.

Mark Twuin's Prophetic Wish.

Astronomy was one Of Mark Twain's S
favorite subjects. Neither of US had
any real knowledge of the matter,
which made fits great facts all the
more thrilling. The thought that the
nearest fixed star was 25,000,000,000,-
900 miles away - one-fourth million
times the distance to our own remote
sun-gave him sort Of splendid thrill.
He would figure out those great meas
urements of space, covering sheets OF
paper with his sums, but be was not a
good mathematician. and the answers
were generally wrong. Comets in par
ticuar interested him, and one day he
said:
II came in with Halley's comet in
1885. 1t is coming again next year,
and | expect to go out with 1t. 1t will
be the greatest disappointment Of my
life IL don't go out with Halley's
comet"
He looked so strong and, full OF color
and vitality one could not believe that
his words held a prophecy.-"The Boys
Life of Mark Twain" by Albert Bige-
low Paine, In st. Nicholas.

Resignation to Take EffeCu Last
Sunday in December

ton but May Temporarily Re-
side In Elmira.

Becouse of i'll health. Rev. Isaac
Jennings, d. D., has submitted his
resignation as pastor OF the Old First
(CongregationaD church at Old Ben
nington to take effect the last Sunday
in December DR.. Jennings plans to
make his home at Old Bennington In
the future, although he may tenn
porarily reside in Elmira, N. Y, where
he passed the large portion of his
career in the ministry. For number
of years he has been afflicted with
rheumatism and recently the malady
has reached stage which, in the
opinion of his family and friends.
made ii imperative that he give up
the responsibility of the parish.
DR.. Jennings came to Bennington to
assume the pastorate of the Old First
church IL years ago. For a quarter Of
century he had been the pastor of
the Presbyterian church in Elmira
which had come into considerable
prominence through the pastorate of
his predecessor, Rev. DR.. Knox. At
the time he severed his connection
with the Elmira parish, it was DR..
Jennings intention to retire perma-
nently from the ministry. He was,
however, induced to locate at Old
Bennington, the home of his boy
hood, and to take the pulpit which his
father had continuously occupied for
"a years.
During the period that DIR. jennings
has been pastor of the Old First
church he has been prominently iden-
tilted with numerous activities that
have had for their object the moral
uplift of the community. He has
been keenly interested in the work Of
the Bennington Battle Monument and
Historical society and has been a
regular attendant at all of its meet
ings.
Like his father he had delved deep
ly into the early history of the Old
First church and Of the pioneer
period of Bennington and his store
of knowledge has enabled him to pro-
duce for time to time articles which
have been doubly valuable because Of
the accurate data contained and for
their literary merit.
1t is seldom the privilege of a
church in Vermont or elsewhere for
that matter, to secure the services
of such a pastor as DR.. Jennings. Dur
ing his long service in the ministry he
has demonstrated that he is not only
preacher OF exceptional ability, a
pastor and student but that he is
likewise a citizen in all that the word
implies. The news of his resignation
will be received with sincere regret
not only by the members OF the par
ish but in the community at large in
which his personality has been fac
tor for good during more than de-
cade.

HOME TALENT PROGRAM
Pleased the Ladies' of the Fortnlghtly
Saturday Afternoon

"One of the most interesting meet
ings we ever had" seemed to be the
universal comment on the Fortnightly
meeting of Saturday. This was the
first home afternoon of the year and
the high quality of the papers read
and the new points of view presented
revived the old tradition of the ex-
ceptional talent always to be found
among the club membership.
Miss Maude Carpenter in her paper
which was ably read by Mrs. w. II.
Wills showed how changes in ways of
living had taken away from children
the old ways of practical learning and
how now training of the eye, hand and
ear was being made part of our school
system. She made special plea for
interest on the part of the parents.
Her theme was admirably supplement-
ed by the recitation OF "A Stupid
Boys Lament" by Miss Frances Hol-
den.
Miss Eleanor Sibley's paper was
most interesting and practical in its
suggestions. She spoke of the forma.
tion of character through reading and
gave suggestions showing how it was
possible to guide children to the best.
Miss Vossler's paper on Education
Through Play" was snappy yet prac-
tical and straightforward She spoke
of the historical theories and then the
modern ones which has lead play to
become part of the modern school cur
riculums, namely that through play
the instincts find exercise and are
trained. She illustrated her theories
by demonstration of actual work be-
ing done in her school gymnasium
classes. The demonstration was
marked by a spontaneity and excel
lence quite unusual Those taking
part were, Rhoda Southall, Marion
Glisbee, Mildred Miller, Belle Ray
Olga Kelson. Victoria st Mary Mary
Donnely, Valda Lyons, Marion Viii
liams, Elisabet Cutler. Cecile Jack
son. Frances Holden. Margaret Rock
wood and Miriam Shakshober.
The gymnasium drill was followed
by Dutch dance done in costume by
a group of High school girls. This
envoked much applause and after ad-
journment it was repeated by request.
Those taking part were Eleanor Hut
ton, Anastacia Fitzgerald, Alice
Brown, Barbara Robinson, Sue Hunt
ington, Frances Carver, Dorothy
Patchin and Helen Thomas.
The enjoyment of the afternoon was
greatly augmented by music by the
High School Glee Club and duet by
Miss Elsa Wahlquist and Helen Car
penter under the able direction of Miss
Kinne.
The afternoon was in charge of the
Education committee.

MISS BESSIE L. slckFoRo
Former Chief Operator at Bennington
Exchange Dies Suddenly in Pittsfield

Miss Bessie l.. Bickford, who was
for six years the chief operator at the
Bennington exchange of the New Eng
land Telephone company, died in
Pittsfield at lao this morning. She
was about 40 years of age and had
been in the employ of the company for
all of two decades.
Miss Bickford had not been in the
best of health for several years, but
there had recently been no apparent
change for the worse in her condition.
Sunday afternoon while walking on
a Pittsfeld street with one of the
young women operators attached to
the exchange in that city, she sudden
ly complained Of feeling numb and
fell to the ground unconscious. She
was hurried to the Hillcrest hospital
but did not rally and passed away
early this morning.
Ten years ago Miss Bickford, who
was a native of Brandon, came to Ben
nington from Keene, N. H., to take
the position of chief operator at the
local exchange. She possessed un-
usual ability which added to her long
experience enabled her to perform the
duties to the satisfaction of the com
pany and with credit to herself, By
the operators who worked with her
she was held in high esteem and no
later ago than Saturday night she
had made arrangements for a week
end visit here in the near future.
Leaving Bennington four years ago,
Miss Bickford became assistant TO the
traffic chief in Pittsfield. Her health
failed, however. and after an extended
vacation of which she passed larger
portion in this village, she returned TO
Pittsfield to become matron of the
rest room. The latter position she
held at the time of her death.
So far as is known here, her only
surviving relatives are two married
sisters living at Brandon and in
Springfield. Mass. The funeral ar
rangements are not known here but
it is probable that the remains win be
taken to Brondon.

glad to see supplied
The first meeting will be held at
1880 Tuesday evening, November 2Sth
in the high school auditorium. The
services of Prof James Chambers, of
North Adams, have been secured as
leader. This is most fortunate, as 1t
insures splendid teaching and leader
ship. Prof Chambers is superinten-

loves music and believes that a big,
well-trained chorus will be good
thing in Bennington will join the club.
