Xbe attention of the police was again

Wife's Death Sur.piciou.
'h!u'!en L. Tucker is twenty-four
.years f ge and has lived In Auburn
dale, one of the Newton villages, ail
ids life. Cp to two weeks ago he occu
pied a position ns bajrscagoniHn on the
lioston and Albany railroad, -but since
then he has been out of work. He has
been a familiar character for tunny
yeara about the boathouses on the
Charles river, a hone a mile from the
Page house.' He Is a widower, h'w wife
having been drowned hist April on the
Charles river within a short distnr.ee
of their home. The police at the time
made an investigation of the drown
ing, but took no further action on the
matter. .
While Chief Shaw refused to dis uss
in detail facts leading up to the arrest,
he gave two reasons why he thought
that Tucker was guilty of the crime.
"In the first place," Raid Chief Shaw,
"Tucker's personal character is: very
much against him, and, secondly, we
know positively that he was in the
immediate vicinity of the I'ago bouse
at or very near the time Miss l'age is
supposed to have been murdered. -We
are not prepared to make our case
against Tucker public at this time.
When he is nrntiinied it i not lik'-ly
that wo shall bo forced to show our

probably ask for continuance. I know
that we can hold him for the grand

WILL BE SUPERSEDED
OR GREATLY AMENDED
Says the Rev. F. A. Poole Regarding
License Law Tells of the
Gothenburg System.
In the first of a series of three addresses
on "Possible and Practical Temperance
Reform," the Rev. F. A. Poole gave a suc
cienct statement of the Gothenburg, Swe
den, system of controlling the sale of
liquor, at the Congregational church last
evening. In his introductory remarks the
speaker declared that It is evident that
Vermont is a temperance state. In most
states the temperance question is not to
the fore as it is in this. The recent change
to local option license was explained by
the fact that the people desired a change
from the unsatisfactory conditions under
the prohibitory Jaw, and judging from the
results of the more recent local option vote
the new law is not in favor either. He
gave it as his opinion that the new law
will be greatly amended or superseded.
All methods of dealing with the matter
haying been found unsatisfactory, said the
speaker, we must look for a better way.
lie then went on to describe the Gothen
burg system. Its two aims are, (1) Elim
ination of private Rain; and (2) Easy en
forcement of the law.
Under the system the right to sell liquor
is confined to a body of publio-spirited cit
izens; Stockholders receive a dividend of
five or six per cent., all profits above that
amount going to the public good; mana
gers control the liquor stores, receiving
stipulated salaries; each manager is re
quired to keep hot and cold food, tea, cof
fee, etc, and he is allowed to keep the
profits made on these, thus making an in
centive for him to push the sale of these
ahead of liquor; number of saloon is de
ceeased ; ail are open and prominent;
quality of liquor bettered; no liquor to be
sold to minors or to persons already intox
icated; saloons to be plain without mirrors
or flashing lights.
Gambling and immorality, declared the
speaker, are said to have been divorced
from liquor selling. The amount of liquor
consumed In Sweden has diminished since
1S74, and he gave figures to subtantiate
the assertion; the system has been adopted
by all the larger towns of Sweden and also
of Norway.
There are two defects of the system as
conducted in Sweden; (1) The profits
above five per cent are used In such a way
as to lighten taxation, making an induce
ment for drinking, when the money should
go toward forming couuter attractions; (2)
Beer and light wines have not been in
cluded in the scope of the company. He
thought these might be rectified.
The benefits of the system may be sum
med up in this five-fold manner; 0) !;'',
cures divorce between drink-selling and
polities: (2) Takes trade out of hands of
private individuals; Sales on credit
and other advantagena attractions are
done away with; (4) Secures for the com
munity the vast monopoly of the sle,
which would otherwise go to private indi
viduals ; (5) System enlists the active co
operation of good citizens.
The speaker said that the South Caro
lina system resembles the Gothenburg only
superMoialiy. lie did not claim that the
lattei is ent irely successful, but he declared
that It "strikes at the root of the evil."
MEMORIAL
TO DR. BROWN
Former Rector of Church
of Good Shepard
TOUCHING TRIBUTE PAID
Ideal Officer, Free DicipliaarUn, Sym
pathetic Commander, High-Minded
Fearless Christian Gentleman.
At the Chnreh of the Good Shepherd
yesterday morning a memorial service
was heid in memory of the late Dr. Allen
D. Brown who was for two years rector
of the church, and who died one week ago
at Waynesvlila, Nr. C. The regular ser
mon by the rector, the Rev. Brian C. Rob
erts, was entirely devoted to the life work
and character of Dr. Brown and he spoke
in part as follows :
"Blessed are the dead who cle in the
Iord: even so saith the spirit; for they
rest from their labors." Key. xiv. 13.
On Easter day, w hile we were gather
ing for the early celebration of the Holy
Communion, there passed from his labors
here on earth into the Paradise of God,
the soul of Allen D. Brown, priest of the
church, pastor for some time of this flock,
formerly Commander in the Navy of the
United States, and until just before his
death president of Norwich University.
Today we have joined in memorial service
thanking God that he has lived, that he
does live, and best of al! that he always
will live. Ilii memory lives In the hearts
of all who have known and loved him. he
livfs today with the Church Expectant, he
will hye forever with the Church Trium
phant, beholding the Beatific Vision. '
"iVe are not here to mourn as those who
sorrow without hope, but to find joy in the
life, the testimony givn, the beauty of
holiness revealed "to us who really knew
him. : ,
Rarely does any man live to perform as
many distinctly usefut missions as did Dr.
Brown. Yon here are .thinking of the
complete offering of himsi-Sf es-a 'Priest of
the Church. He went in and out among
yon, ministering to the sick, rejoicing in
your joys, feeling your sorrows, ami at
this altar pleading for you the efficacy of
the Great Sacrifice. Today at Xorthfield,
young men are chieft'y thinking of him as
their president, their leader, and in fact
to many of them in a very special and lov
ing sense he was in "loco parentis," And
yet others, admirals of the United States
Navy, and many of lesser rank, hold his
memory dear as an ideal officer, a true
disciplinarian, a sympathetic commander,
and a high-minded fearless, Christian gen
tleman. He was my senior priest, my predecessor,
a wise councilor, a, persona! friend, and 1
not only came to know him well, but to
love him much. "May light perpetual
shine upon him."
For twenty-sis years he served In the
navy, and beside doing more sea service
than many of the men who have attained
high rank in that department, for seven
years taught in the Naval Academy, train
ing the younger men to become what has
made this nation great in recent years. A
successf ul teacher has never been such be
cause he or she has sat behind a desk, or
attempted to give instruction.
True teachers are born, not made, and
the personality of Dr. Brown impressed it
self during these years upon the young
men tnat now we iook to for rate bravery,
true manliness, and the integrity of our
naval service, lie saw strange countries,
performed with dignity missions of trust
in foreign courts, knew me.u as few know
them, and withal was a man of modesty.
He was a rehned, cultured, Christian gen
tleman. When, In ISM, he was advanced to the
priesthood and was appointed to a cure of
souls, he did not undertake that sacred
trust because he could do nothing else he
could have done much and many things
it was In keeping with all his former life.
More than one man learned Christ while
on a cruise with this humble minded of
ficer. Not long ago I chanced to pick up
a rollicking sea story of the years subse
qaent to the Civil War. The author went
out of his way to tell of the kindness of
one of his superior oflioers It was Allan
D. Brown. And the greatest monument
to the life we today mourn as gone from
us, is found in the hearts of hundreds of
others who though silent In their personal
grief, yet appreciated and loved the sweet
ness, the purity and the sympathetio ten
derness that this seafaring man of God
possessed.
Perhaps no other incident could possibly
show the place he secured In the hearts of
his contemporaries, than that which oc
curred at the recent nnvailing of the statue
of Admiral Perkins at Concord, N. H,
More than one dignitary of the navy, who
had been a bit formal as he was paraded
In his gold and feathers, seeing him, for
got all ceremony, forgot the curious sight
seers, opened their arms wide and era
braced him. And one said, "Allan It does
my heart good to see you." -'And to think
of you being an admiral," replied Dr.
Brown. - "Well," he responded, all you
have to do is to live long enough, and keep
in line." which was not quite true, maybe,
but all there krew but for his gallant ser
vice which partially wrecked his health,
Allan D. Brown would have ranked with
thempet haps out-ranked them.
When in ltyo he was elected to the
presidancy of Norwich University, thnre
was a singular fitness In this choice. To
the military spirit he brought the ripe
years of an enlistment bfwuun the f: i? of
his country which made him breathe pa
triotism; to the teacher's desk he brought
the experience of a tried and enccessfnl
nstruutor; to the president's chair be

brought the wise discipline that was firm,
klndiy and certain to advance the inter
ests of the university. Another touch of
the human side of his life 1 once foIt,when
one of the students once 8Md to me, "We
were a bit unruly when be first eame, but
now we love hira. W e thought him harsh
at first, but now we have learned that he
can langh." A boy's way of putting it,
mit a way tnat meant a great aeai.
In becoming president of Norwich Uni
versity he was still the otiioer as in days
of old ; still the instructor, as at the Ann
apolis Academy, and still the priest, as he,
had baen in his active ministry. I still
seem to see Dim as In Dewey hall, another
monument of his industry and wisdom,
when he was leading the devotion of his
young men and pointing them Godward.
His true life will never be written. We
can record the incidents we- know, and
others may record the facts they know, but
tuere ts much that will never be known
until that day when we shall all be"judged
according to the deeds in the flesh, " and
the heart of ail shall be open.
There is a greatness of soul about inch
a man as this, which we of smaller calibre
find hard to appreciate. Said one of toy
boys to me, "Why, Mr. Brown was a great
man, but I did not know It when he was
here. He had a great life." And there
were others who did not recognize that a
great life had lovingly stooped down to the
capacity ot their lives to mi them with. Uie
glory of an enlarged humanity.
He effaced himself and poiuted to the
glory of the perfect and divine humanity
of Jesus Christ, his Master, We draw an
inspiration, and a renewed purpose comes
to us because of such a life as was his.
It makes the humbler things easier to do.
It reveals to us greatness of simplicity.
For In the best sense of the word, he was
very simple. Although mourned for by
men of learning and of note, he Is today
also mourned for by the unlearned and the
humble, I have sometimes been surprised
to fiiid that his gentle dignity created no
barrier that kept such folk from him.
There was no such thing as condescension
in his manner and he endeared himself to
those who had narrow horizons and little
interests as well as to the grert. 1 heard
but few of his sermons, but 1 never heard
swelling wotds nor high sounding phrases.
But quietly, forcefully, in tolling,
terse English, he gave his message and
spoke from the abundance of his heart.
One forgot his personalijy, and thought of
the Christ, He never advertised himself
nor expected spiritual results to'oometo
the church from the biming methods of
the fakir, r Karaet, ' thoughtful, loving.
faithful, Godly, You and I are better be
cause he lived among us.
Yon and I cannot add to his greatness,
cannot if we would, make him different
than what he was. We can but add our
tribute to the many that have been offered
this past week. Aod I add my little, not
that it should do him good,but that it may
do me good and you good. For we miss
the whole lesson of his life if we. are to
suppose that we are merely . extolling the
goodness of that life. . He was sweetly
human and 1 doubt not made mistakes.
But ha taught us to use the mistakes of
life as stepping stones to a higher life.
We tell the story of his life each to the
other that we may learn the better how to
live. You who lived here with him came
In many ways into union with his life. If
he were here today he would beg ns to
enter more fully into union with the life
of Christ even as he constantly strived to
do.
He was about the house almost to ' the
last of his life. And before he finally was
placed upon his bed to die, feeling that
death was upon blm, knelt down and
looking np to heaven, said "Lord, Jesus,
receive my spirit." And the Blessed Lord
has taken that soul Into His keeping. Uft,
what an Easter morning was that for him,
when his enfranchised spirit left Its earth
ly tabernacle and penetrated the vail.
Some of you, as I, wept as we heard of
that emu's death, but not in sorrow for
him. It was because we had loved and
lost.
Well could he have said, "For me to die
Is gain." God is not a God of the dead
but of the living," and he Is a living soul,
now in the Church Expectant awaiting the
final moment when we too shall be joined
with him, on that last day when the
Father shall say "Well done good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of
thy Lord."
We shall remember him especially at
the time of the holy communion, when
with augels and arch-angels, and with all
the company of heaven, we repeat the
Thrice Holy.
Praise God foi such an example as his;
for such a testimony, for such a life.
Grant him, O Ixird, eternal rest, and may
light perpetual shine upon him. VJi..
