A petition was granted to extend the water' mains from the corner of Wayne and Delaware street? to point near the residesce of H. Rann, r..: '|. DEATH.,OF MR8. H. M. BRADLEY. This community was inexpressibly saddened last Wednesday morning, when it-became generally known that Mrs. H. M. Bradley had died about ten o'clock the previous evening at her home in this city. Her sickness and death tvere due 4o appendlcal tAubles, which necessitated two surgical operations. Mrs. Bradley's maiden name' was Queen Alice Sawyer. She was born In Waterbury, Connecticut, on April 29th, 1882, but her girlhood days were spent with her parents in New York City. In that city she made the acquaintance of Mr. Bradley, who at that time, was a young physician connected with the Health Depart ment hospital -of New York city. On October 3rd, 1901, 'she was united in marriage with Dr. H. M. Bradley, at the home of her parents, who then resided In Brooklyn, and shortly thereafter came to Manchester, and has resided here ever since. Two girls were born to them: Agnes, who is nearly seven, and Loralne, about six years of age. In addition to her husband and their two daugh ters, Mrs. Bradley Is survived by her father, a brother, Mr. Roland Sawyer, and a sister, Mrs. J. Free man Marsten, both of New York City. Mrs. Bradley was. a kindly woman, of large intelligence and many ad mirable traits of character. With true womanly devotion she left kindred and the home of her girl hood, and came here with her hus band to reside among strangers. In her heart, and in her life work as a wife she exemplified the senti ments expressed by the Hebrew maid en of old who said: "Whither thou goest, I will go and where thou l6dg est, I will lodge thy people shall be my people, and thy. God my God where thou dlest, I will die, and there will I be burled.". But her Manchester home was not long sur rounded by strangers. Her good humor and prepossessing manner soon won hosts of friends, who wept tears of sincere sorrow over her bier last Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Bradley was a member of the local P. E. O. chapter, and also a member of Orient Chapter No. 15, Order of the Eastern Star, and, while she delighted to mingle socially with her friends and fraternal associates, she found her greatest pleasure at home with her husband and .children. Some philosophers contend that It Is best for people to die while yet their fellows cheer while yet their souls are radiant with -hope while yet they are amid the successes and victories of life while yet all who may be looking on regret the loss. Be that as It may, to try to be lieve that it is true, sometimes helps to mellow the edge of the almost un bearable grief due to an untimely death. But the grief-stricken husband and his two young daughters are en titled -to more than ordinary sym pathy. No one, however, who has not occupied a similar position can understand what it means to have heart strings torn asunder during such a week's death watch. The funeral was held at thefam ily home at 2:30 o'clock Sunday af ternoon. Rev. J. F. Moore, pastor of the Congregational church of this city, preached the funeral sermon. He spoke, consolingly of the immor tality of love. In the beautiful drama of ''Ion", this Immortality of love is aptly il lustrated. The young Greek, who was about to yield up his life, was asked by his Clemantha if they would meet again, to which he replied: "I have, asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eternal, of the clear streams that flow forever, pf the stars among whose field of azure my raised spirit ^has walked in glory. All were dumb but as I gate on thy living face, I feel there Is something in the love that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. Yes, we shall meet again Clemantha. The casket was walled around with so many flowers that It almost seem ed to rest upon a bed of roses. The singers were Mrs. E. H. Hoyt, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Rann and Mr. E B. Stiles. They sang Tennyson's Crossing the Bar", "Lead Kindly Light" and "Abide With Me." The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers :N R. A. Denton, B. -H. Hruby, Burton Clark, Chas. A. Peter son, W. H. Hutchinson, Joseph Hoag, L. L. Hoyt and E. H. Hoyt. A number from out of town at tended the funeral, among which were the following: Mrs.,J. C. Leg gett, formerly Miss Genevieve Par ker of this city, and Mrs. A. S. Stev ens, both of Cuba, New York. Mrs. J. Freeman Marsten of New York city Mrs. M. H. Williston, who but recently went to Sumner, Washing ton Mr. Archie M. Parker and son Herbert of Marshall town Mrs. E. T, Alford of Waterloo Dr. J. R.Guthf rle and wife, and' Dr. C. W.' Melhop, of Dubuque Dr. Wintenberg of Del hi A. R. Loomls 2d, and wife &i<$ daughter, Mrs. Vincent, of 'Fort Dodge and Hon. E. H. Hoyt and wife, and Welcome Abbott and wife of Lamont, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hoag of Monticello. 0ISP08ES OF GATES BATHS.

The chelf feature of this kind of a car is that it is almost imposslbl to wreck them and it insures pas congers that they will not be tele scoped iu a head-on collision, as has been the case of. the coaches which are chiefly composed of wood. 53rd REGIMENT' WINS MENT.
