The death of Sherman Morehouse on
Thursday takes from us a man who
despite his eighty years was one of our
most active citizens, in his capacity as
Selectman, and in a private life. A
Democrat of the most aggressive type
he had many friends among his oppon-
ents, for his honesty and straightfor-
In his work on his farm the
writer has seen him many times within
the year doing a day’s work that would
have tired many a younger man. Born
in the town, marrying at the age of 21,
and continuing for nearly 60 years of
married life among us, he is well en-
titled to hold the position of “Town
Father,” as which he was affectionate-
ly regarded by many of the younger
generation. Of an exceptionally affable
manner, and hospitable to a degree,
many are the pleasant entertainments
that have been held under his roof.
He is among the last of his generation
and his loss will long be felt by all who
knew him.

Clarence Middlebrook left his team
unhitched in front of Gilbert’s grocery

away was the natural result. They ran
up the church hill at a terrific pace,

starting on a run'up the church hill.

ran from his garden in time to make a
gallant stop of the frightened animal.
A broken dashboard was all of the
damage. ,

Commissioner McDonald was in town

entire work shall be done under one
contract, and that the bids will only be
received in that way.

Decoration Day was observed in the
usual quiet manner in this town.
Many visitors enjoyed a day’s outing
here, and the schools were closed. One
fact that cansed some comment was the

Old Glory. Many of the graves in'the
various cemeteries were decorated on

Magnificent New Equipment _ for the
Pennsylvania Railroad’slwongressional
Limited. '
The Congressional Limited of the
PennsylvaniaRailroad running between
New York and Washington has just
been equipped with entirely new cars
of regal appointments.
In external-{appearance the train
closely resembles the new Pennsylvania
Limited red name board, creambe-
tween the windows, and dark green
below, This coloring is further en-
;
'
riched by elaborate decorations in gold
leaf.
The interior of the train is a veri:
table palace. The wood work-thrdugh-
out is vermilion, ornamented with
delicate inlaid marquetry in Persian
designs. Each car is furnished in
harmonic colors.
The dining car is a new departure
and a unique creation. . The tables are
placed directly opposite the windows,
which are unusually wide, instead of
between them; and instead of the usual
fixed seats this car is equipped with
mahogany chairs. The tables on one
side of the car are somewhat longer
than ordinary, while those on the other
side are shorter, accommodating only
two persons. In consequence there is
much more room on all sides than form-
erly.
The most noticeable new feature in
the parlor cars is the ladies’ dressing
room. This isxa rounded compartment
five and one-half by six feet, tastefully
furnished and |finished. On one side
stands a beautiful dresser with a large
plate-glass mirror flanked on each side
bya plush wall or corner seat. Be-
sides these, the room contains a metal
washstand and several small closets
and racks. Every lady traveler will
appreciate this latest effort of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to
provide for her comfort.
These new trains went into regular
service betweengNew York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and Washington on

TO-MORROW’S BIRTHPLACE.
The Llne in the Pacific Ocean ,Where It
Shakes Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly
the traveler missed his bet, having for—_
gotten that, in following the sun'frbm
east to west, he had gained one day.
When 'one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York, he gains rather
more than half an hour each day. From
New York to Chicago another hour is .
gained, another to Denver, another to ,
San Francisco, which is reckoning time
eight hours later than London, and of
course the best part of a day later than
Shanghai and Yokohama. In crossing
the Pacific there comes a. time when
the day begins, where yesterday and .
to-morrow shake hands, and where the
traveler is cheated out of a. day in his
life.
In mid-Pacific, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day of the week repeated— ,
Two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line of the changing day is not
a. straight line. The islands in the Pa— 5
cific take their time from the continent ’
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus, the line '
of the change zigzags down the Pa-
cific coast from South to North, dodg-
ing between the islands.
Hence, it might easily happen that
a ship which has already skipped a.
day would reach an island which clings
to San Francisco time. In such a case
it would be Monday on shore and Tues-
day on the ship.
If the ship’s jolly boat were lying at
ra wharf it would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat. _
And if a person lives somewhere near
the line he can get a sailboat and visit I
yesterday and to-morrow in the most
delightful fashion—New York World.
Give and It Shall be Given You.
here is in Austria a monastery I
which, in former times, was very rich,
and remained rich so long as it was
charitable to the poor; but when it
ceased to give, then it became indi-
gent, and is so to this day. Not long
since, a poor man went there and salic-
ited aims, which was denied him. He
demanded the reason why they refused
to give for God’s sake. The pox;er of
the monastery answered: “We are
became poor;” whereupon the mendi-
caht said, “The cause of your poverty
leathis: Ye had formerly in the man--
astery' two brethren, the one named
Date (give), and the other Dabitur (it
shall.be given you). The former ye
thrust out; the other went away of

.l“ HE COVE'lED THE DIAMONDS."
Bow Bralvma’s Eye “’ns Stolen and tho ‘
Fortune Obtained for It. .
At the beginning of the eighteenth
~ century a soldier belonging to one of
the French garrisons in India became
enamored of the eyes of Brahma in the
These eyes
were diamonds, more brilliant than ev-
er shone under the eyebrows of Cra-
paud’s European divinities. Their lus-
tre captivated his soul. He haunted
the temple, and, yielding to the might
of the god, became a convert to his
worship. .At least so he persuaded the
priests, who went so far as to admit
him to some care of the temple, doubt-
les strusting Brahma to protect his own.
.But on a stormy night the convert dis-
appeared, and with him one of the
idol’s eyes, the‘ other having resisted
all his efforts to dislodge it. So Brah-
ma. was left squinting, and the perfid-
ious Frenchman sold his prize to a
captain in the English navy for
about $10,000 Later it was bought
by the Armenian merchant Schaf—
fras for more than five times
this sum, and shown by him to
Catharine of Russia, who offered for it
' about $400,000, a life pension of $18,000
and a patent of nobility. . Schaffras re-
fused this offer, and subsequently sold
the diamond to Gregory Orloff for the
same sum, without the patent of nobil-
ity. Orloff, part author of Catharine’s
“greatness, and raised by her to the
steps of the throne, for whom she
struck medals, raised triumphal arch-
es and dedicated palaces “par l’amitie
reconnaissante,” to whom she offered
secret marriage and Whom in another
caprice she banished,———Count Gregory,
being reinstated in favor, offered his
imperial mistress two tokens of recon-
ciliation, the St. 'Petersburg arsenal
, and the Orloff diamond.—Neith Boyce,
in Lippincott’s,
l‘erfm-t Understanding.
“Do you want my daughter for her
money or for herself?” demanded the
old gentleman.
“It’s this way,” stammered the young
man, as he tripped backwards over the
edge of the rug. “I want her for my-
self and I want her money for herself,
and I want both of them for ourselves,
and you certainly must understand.”
His Claim to Distinction.
“There goes the most remarkable
man in this 'town." “What’s remark-
able about him?” “He’s the only suc-
cessful merchant we have who doesn’t
claim to be a self-made man. He says
he got rich through the faithfulness of
the men that work for him.”——Chicago
Tribune.
