In 1S23, nearly a score of years beforo the Massachusetts movement for training teachers was Inaugurated, Rev S. R. Hall established a school whose special mission was tho elevation of the common school by improving tne cnar acter of the teachers. The school build lng was of brick 30 by 40 feet and was located on the low ground across the road from tho church where Dr. Hall preached. He was called to the Con gregatlonal church at Concord Corner early In the year 1823 and accepted the pastorate on the condition that he be allowed to open a "teachers' school." He continued the school seven years, ad mlttlnc In addition to those fitting them selves for teachers, a class of children, which ho used In Instruction and dls clpllne as a model and practice school Walton's Vermont Register.

I BRAINE DISAPPEARED Marlboro Man Left Father's Home in New Jersey Re-appeared In Brother's Office In New York, Looking Like a Tramp, His Valu ables Missing. Daniel Lawrence Bralne, who Is well known In Brattleboro and who recently sold his farm In Marlboro, mysteriously disappeared from tho home of his par ents In Olen Ridge, N. J., a few days ago and as mysteriously ro-appenred Tuesday at tho olllce of his brother, El gin limine of 452 Fifth nvenue, New York city. The disappearance of Bralne, who has prominent New York relatives, has furnished material for several ar ticles In the New York World this week. Until recently llrnlno wns a stock farmer at Five Maple fnrm In Matlboro, a tract given him by his father. He sold the place recently and about six weeks ago bought an automobile und seemed to bo enjoying himself. He wns In Urnttleboro about threo weeks ago and at that time Bhowed no Indication of mental trouble. Ho Is a member of Urnttleboro lodge, t. and A. M. Tho following account of Brnlne's dis appearance was published In the New York World Saturday, together with a picture of tho missing man: With anlv n few dollars In his pock- et though ho might have drawn $10,000 had ho wished David I-,. Bralne ot uien ltldge, N. .1., left his home on tho morn ing of July 29 and has not been seen since by friends. The Brnlnes are well to do nnd 'a liberal reward' is advertised today ' for Information as to David s whereabouts. William H. McDonald, a private de tective at No. 29 West Forty-second street, who Is In charge of the search, says everything indicates iiraine met foul piny. He was single, 2j years old nnd had a good bank account. As he left homo his straw hat was tilted on the back of his head and he was amok lng a prized pipe. His relatives say he had no reason to leave homo. Tho missing man a father Is Lawrence F. Bralne, secretary of an automobile company at No. 433 Fifth nvenue. Da vid's grandmother Is the widow of Rear Admiral limine, U. S. N. A general nlarm was sent out by tho police last night. "David Bralne Is 23 years old, stands six feet and one Inch nnd weighs 1 pounds. When last seen he wore a blue serge suit, a signet ring Inscribed with the Initials 'D. L. 11.', and a straw hat, in the Inner band of which were the Initials 'D. B.' His beard was trimmed in the Vandyke style. "He Is a graduate of Harvard and was engaged in the Insurance business. When bo left his home he had an appointment with the manager of a radiator com pany at No. 52 Broadway, but did not keep tho appointment. " 'There is something most mysterious In this case,' said McDonald. 'Mr. Hralne did not havo a care In the world so far as any of his friends know. He Just left Glen Rlilgo and disappeared That Is all that Is known yet." " Tho Sunday World contained this ad dltlonal Information: "That Daniel L, Bralnc, son of Lawrence F. Bralne, president of the City Autobcab company who mysteriously disappeared from the home of his grandmother, widow of Rear Admiral Bralne of Glen Ridge, N. J. last Saturday, was engaged to be mar ried to Miss Janet Schouler of No. Woodland avenue, Glen Ridge, became known yesterday. The marriage was to have taken place this fall. iiy uaugnter ana Mr. Bralne ap peard to be perfectly happy,' the mother of Miss Schouler said yesterday, and I can assign no reason why he should havo left home so mysteriously. "Young Bralne until recently was stock fnrmer In Vermont. He sold hi farm at a nice profit and came here to visit his parents. His father Is of th opinion that Bralno was temporarl , crazed by tho heat. " 'He had been running the farm fi tho past three years,' Mr. Bralne said He was successful and I was surp ue when I learned that he planned to sell I believe he worked too hard ti wind up his affairs during the heated 'crm. "The police have absolutely no cluo to Bralne s whereabouts. He had teen mo rose nnd moody beforo he dlsjpjietrcd. In Its report of Uralne's return the World said: "Daniel Bralne had the ap pe.irnnco of a tramp. He seemingly had not shaved since he disappeared. Ills gold watch and chain, his cuff buttons and a diamond stick pin were gone, and there was not a cent In his pockets, limine seemed dazed. He told his broth er:''! don't know where I have been. I can remember nothing.' "Klgln limine sent for Dr. John C. JIc Gowan of No. 110 Fast Thirtieth street, the family physician. The physician made a superficial examination and ex pressed the opinion the young man had been suffering from aphasia. Bralne was questioned closely, but could remem ber nothing that had happened since ho was sitting on the front porch of his grandmother's home. 'I have fearful pains In my head,' he repeated many times." FACING CHRISTIANITY'S PROBLEM, Northfield Delegates Trying to Increase Interest In Religion. Over 2000 delegates to the Christian Workers' conference nre gathered In Hast Northfield for the 20th annual ses sion of the oldest annual religious con ference In America. Tho session Is con vening In the buildings of the Moody school for girls. To accommodate tho largo crowd a number of tents have been erected on the grounds. Two hundred young men are camping under the pines of Notch Mountuln, In one of the favorite haunts of D. L. Moody, tho founder. The cliuli muu of this gathering culled It for tho purpose of preparing the dele gates for service In their home churches. Attention has been called to the fact that the present age Is one of dissatisfac tion with the truths of Christianity, and that the value of religion Is questioned, In order to try to cure this condition, Hpeclal meetings have been held to placo upon nil clusses their responsibility for demanding u change In America's uttl tude toward religious subjects. Knglund and Canada and America nro all sharing the honors hi furnishing the speakers this year. 1-roni Kngland have como Itev. J. Stuart Holden, Rev. John A. Hutton nnd Dr. Thomas Phillips: from Canada Piesldent W. H. Orimth Thomas nnd Prof. G. A. Johnston Ross. There are a score of well known Ameri can speukers, among the most popular nre Dr. R, A. Torrey, President Ozora Davis, Prof. Charles R. ICdmun, nnd Dr. James A. Francis. The desire for a longer conference has caused Mr, Moody to arrange for a series of talks to be given following this session. Four Chinamen who wore caught in Roxbury after being smuggled across tho Canadian border were held under bonds of $1000 by Commissioner W. R, Austin In St, Albans Friday and a hear ing wns set for Aug. 12. They were committed to Jail. They crossed tho border In a box car In which they lived several days, having plenty ot provis ions. On leaving the enr they started for tho woods, but found tho going hard and turned back. You may have noticed that the bigger tho boro tho less he knows, WHETSTONE BROOK CLEANED. Deplorable Conditions Improved Through Efforts of Selectman Oalvln Accumu lation of Debris Removed. Through tho efforts of Selectman John Gnlvln the bed of Whctstono brook, from tho dam at Vinton's paper mill to tho dam near tho site of the old mill on Bridge Btreet, Is receiving this week a scouring bucIi as It has not received In many years. Workmen removed several boards from each end of the lower until, near tho old mill ruins Tuesday afternoon and shoveled nwny great quantities of oozy mud, A large accumulation of old newspapers, bottles nnd other refuse wns hoisted over the dam nnd tho place be gan to take on a better appearance. A hose was nttached to a high pressuro hydrant Wednesday morning nnd with two men on the nozzle the wont or washing out tho bed of the brook from the Vinton dam toward the river wns begun. The brook has a rock bed be tween the Kmerson building and the Armory building and the men wnshed the rock almost clean of Its thick cover ing of mud, which probably was more than two feet deep. Old pieces of wood, bottles, bundles of papers und rubbish of nil kinds were moved down the stream toward the holes made In the dam nnd Into the- river. It probably will tnko the workmen tho rest of this week to clean the place up ns the bed of the brook Is uneven nnd It will not bo ensy to get Id of the thick coating of mud that has lodged there. Selectman Galvln received permission from Vice President G. C. Jones of tho Central Vermont railroad to tear away part of the dam In order to clean up the brook und was given permission to leave the boards off In order that refuse com ing down the brook might How through the opening Into the backllow of the Connecticut river. Tho Central Vermont 'ullrnud owns n wiitpr rlnht th.'it wnhf with the old mill. Tho Twin State Gas & Klectrlc company also owns a water right at tne lower dam thnt Is 'listed as an asset and Mr. Galvln wns given per mission by K. M. Addis, local manager of tho company, to make mi opening on the north end, provided that It be left so that the water power might be used on short notice If necessary. Two channels will bo washed out by the stream from thn hose, one to eacli hole, und It Is ex pected that this will servo to keep tho brook clean. Mr. Galvln Is rather mod est about assuming credit for what he has done to bring nbout this change In conditions that long have been deplored by the citizens of the town, but he is en titled to commendation. NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES. Automobile Turned Turtle. An automobile owned by Mr. Van Wagnen of Alstead and occupied by Mar shall Cunler and five others tipped over near Spoftord village, on the road to Westmoreland, about 5 o'clock Sun day afternoon and the six occupants narrowly escaped serious Injury. One of them, nn aged woman, was rendered un conscious und may have received Inter na Injuries, but the other occupants es caped with bruises and scratches, no bones being broken. As near as can bo ascertained the occupants of the car were belated and were In n hurry to get home. Their route lay to or from West moreland by way of Spofford, and when near tho old tannery In that village the driver undertook to make a quick turn to avoid somo obstruction. Tho car skidded nnd turned turtle. Both of the front wheels were broken. It Is thought that a defect In one of tho wheels may have caused the accident. Grand Trunk Authority to Build.

The new lino Is to begin on the line ot tho New London Northren In Palmer and run through Palmer, Mon son, Brlmfleld, Southbridge, Dudley, Webster, Douglas, Uxbrldgo and Black- stone. Champ Clark Not a Candidate, In a letter to editor Percy Faust, of the Wcatherly Pa., Herald, Champ Clark, speaker of tho House of Repre sentatives, declared he was not a can didate for President. He said In part: "My duty Is here helping the House to make good, as I am going to stay here as long as there Is anything here for me to do. In, other words, I am not go lng to neglect the work hero In order to run around the country after nnother olllce. I regard the record wo are making on our Democratic House as superb. Wo are busy carrying out our promises to tho people nnd we will con tlnue oji that line. I believe tho work of this llouso will result In our con trolling them all after next elec Hon." But a man with a rosy noso seldom has a wife with rosy checks. WORK THAT TELLS Plenty of It Has Been Done Right Here In Brattleboro. Cures that last nro cures that tell.

Ono hundred years ago on August 3, thero was born In the little town of Halifax, Vt., n man whose Inventive genius led the way for the erection of the skyscraper buildings thnt now dls tlngulsh every American city, nnd Inci dentally added millions of dollars to tho vnluo of real estate. Tho man was Ellsha G. Otis. Ills Invention was the elevator, undoubtedly one of tho most Important and useful Inventions of the nineteenth centur, Without the facilities offered by the ele vator for reaching nny desired height, the tall buildings of today, It Is hardly necessary to state, would bo wholly lm practical. Otis began life as a farmer, but his Inventlvo genius led him to turn his attention to the mechanical pursuits. After engaging In various lines of manu facturing In Albany, Troy nnd ono or two other places, he finally located In Yonkcrs, where he was given charge of tho erection of some buildings for a manufacturing company. In erecting the bullduigs It became necessary to construct nn elevator for use on the premises, and in connection with this, Mr. Otis devised a plan to prevent tho fall of tho platform In caso of tho breaking ot tho hoisting cables, It was this safety device that brought tho elevator Into practical use, Mr, Otis first demonstrated the safety and utility ot life Invention at tho Inter national exposition held In New York city In 1S33. Within a few years there after the elevator system was Intro duced Into public buildings. The old Fifth Avenue hotel, which was torn down only a few years ago, was tho first to Install an elevator nnd for a long time It was an .object of much curiosity to nil visitors to tho metropolis. Mr. Otis lived to see his Invention come into general use not only In America, but throughout a large part of the world, Ho established a factory for tho construction of his elovators In Yonkers, where ho resided until his death in 1801. While his name will nl- wnys be inseparably linked with his In volition of the elevator, ho was fertile In other lines of Invention and Improve ment, among his products being a ma chine for making blind stnples, an auto matlc wood turning machine, a steam plow, nnd u rotary oven for use In the making of bread.

A Word to Depositors in Savings Banks Thero aro many matters connected with human affairs that aro beyond hu man knowledge. Wo know they exist, but why, Omni potence only understands. But when It comes to cold-blooded, everyday business affairs llko banking, we find that given conditions certainly produco their logical results. Hero Is a concrete Illustration: On tho first day of July, 1007, tho Hyde Park Savings bank had deposits aggregating $311,158.31. Four years later, to wit, on tho first day of July, 1911, thoso deposits had Increased to $2,018, 300.77; 139 per cent or $1,174,148.43 gain In four years. Tho first utterance given to a state ment of this kind Is, "It cannot bo true." Tho second Is, "Tho growth Is phe nomenal." And then wo say, "It Is simply won dcrful how can It bo?" Figures do not He nnd the cold facts In tho matter aro that In tho little vil lage of "Hyde Park with Its population of only 423, thero Is a savings bank which the people of Vermont hold In such high esteem that for four years the deposits therein have exceeded the withdrawals by botwen $900 and $1000 for every working day In the four years. To be exact about It, $933 per working day. What Is tho explanation? Simply that the people of Vermont havo watched the growth of the La moille County Savings Bank and Trust company with unusual Interest because of Its management and Its methods of Investments. They havo not failed to observe that In Its entire existence of moro than 22 years, the funds of the bank have been Invested with such excellent Judgment and with such painstaking care that the bank has a record, probably unparal leled, of never having lost a dollar by a poor note. The man or boy having money to de posit has simply said to himself, "the very safest, the very strongest, and the most conservative savings bank man agement Is none too good for me, and If the four per cent Interest paid by the Hyde Park bank Is the highest rate of Interest paid by any Vermont bank, and If It Is perfectly safe to send money by mall and tho records show that not a dollar of deposits sent by mall to this bank was ever lost why shouldn't I placo my funds for Investment and safe keeping In the Hyde Park bank?" The question Is a natural one and the answer follows as naturally as tho night follows the day. Really, there Is nothing mysterious about this abnormal and phenomenal growth. HELLO!
