SAD DEATH OF MRS. BJZEL.

A Native of Potsdam and FormerWeli-Known Teacher in Malone.

Maloae people were deeply shockedSaturday afternoon when the deathof Mrs. John S. Bizel was announcedfor few of her many friends in thisvillage knew of her serious condition.For some time she had been in fail-ing health, suffering from a rheuma-tic trouble seriously involving theheart. Mr. Bizel brought her to Mt.View, where she remained for sometime, but she failed to improve, andon Thursday last they started for herold home in Potsdam. When they-reached Malone it was not deenie<ibest to try to go further until shohad had opportunity to rest, and shewas taken to the home of Mr. andMrs. L. W. Haskell, close friends ofMr. and Mrs, Bizel. Friday morningshe was though to be easier but latershe became much worse and expiredat the home of Mr. and Mrs. Haskellon Saturday.Mrs. Bizel's maiden name was Lottie

Lenney. She was former!y__of Pots-dam, receiving her education at theNormal school there, and taught fora time in the graded schools of Ma-lone. She married Mr. Bizel while hewas school commissioner here, and,after residing here for a time they re-,moved to New Rochelle, Mr. Bizelhaving associated himself with herbrother in the practice of law in NewYork. She was a young woman ofmost attractive qualities, of keen in-telligence, cultured, possessing manysocial charms which endeared her toall with whom she came in contact,and her death is deeply mourned. Tfheremains were taken to Potsdam Sat-urday evening for interment, .the fun-eral being held there where she w&sreared, and wnere, as in Malone, shewas loved and esteemed by all whoknew her.

Report com-es from Ottawa that theBritish government will offer to SirWilfred Laurier the position of firstgovernor-general of South Africa asa tribute to his reconciliation of theraces in Canada. Mr. Laurier is oneof the great men of the aga who hasaccomplished great results for Can-ada, and this additional honor, if con-ferred upon him, would be mostworthily bestowed; but it is notthought that he would accept theposition. He is getting along well inyears and to take upon himself suchan enormous task at the other endof the world would no doubt be athing which he would hardly care toundertake.

The average housewife, after cook-ing a meal, cares very little abouteating i t The heat of the preparationmakes the food the reverse of tempt-ing. But just take that same ladyto a first-class restaurant—to theClub Restaurant, for iastanee—putthe mesa before h«r, and see if thatwon't tempt her appetite, aad yours,too. The variety of good things theirtip-top quality, and the excellent wayin which they are cooked, make theClub Restaurant an eating-place tobe thankful for. Located in The Ma-lone Farmer Building, West Main St.

PlCKETT-McCLARY.

The Portsmouth, (N. H).t Times ofAug. 24th, has the following accountol the PIckett-McCiary wedding: —

"Propitious skies beamed today asif in dedication lor tue wedding atiiigh noon Of Miss Marie, dauguterof Mr. and Mts. William PettigrewPickett ,of this city, to Air. ArthurEugene McCiary, of Malone. is. Y, sonot Mr.-and Mrs. M. E. McClary.

A select nutnfcer of invitations wereissued and the steamer Alice Howardwas reserved for the guests and leftthe ferry landing here at 1.1:15 o'clockfor Newcastle, and returning to thiscity at 2 o'clock.

The happy event took place at thesummer home of the bride's parents,and it was an idyi to iavishness infloral and verdure bankings andadorningb, the combination of. deli-cate colors being especially fineand noticeable, The piazza wasscreened W hemlock between thepillars and rubber plants here occu-pied commanding positions. Therooms were draped in white, havingpanels of smilaX and a border of thesame verdure around the apartments,the mantels banked with vincas andhandsome palms in each corner of therooms. The masterful decorationswere by the Capstick conservatory, es-tablishment of Portsmouth and theflowers used were solely day-breakasters and light pink gladiolus.

Hoyt and Parker's orchestra waspresent and rendered its most classicselections.

The maid of honor, Miss Bertfaar M.Bennett, of Middle street, wore pinkcrepe, a bridesmaid veil and carrieda shower bouquet of light pink sweetpeas and maiden hair ferns.

The best man was Mr. Waldo Pick-ett, of Boston, the only brother ofthe bride.

T*he couple stood in front of ahandsome screen formed of hemlockbranches dotted with Daybreak as-ters. On either side were large pottedpalms, and here they pledged theirtroth.

Rev. Lucius H. Thayer, D. D., pas-tor of the North (Congregational)church of this city, pronounced theceremony most &B*pressively, comingfrom his summer home At Dublin spe-cially to officiate.

The bride's drew was a handsomecrepe meteor en train, princess laceyoke, skirt trimmed with the same,tulle, veil caught with orange blos-eoms, and she carried a shower bou-quet of white sweet peas and adian-tuxn.

A reception followed the nuptials,Mr. and Mrs. McClary being assistedby her parents. It was one of thehappiest outpourings of felicities.

Biddle, of Newtouryport, catered andfurnished an elegant menu and theWaiters' Alliance of Portsmouth at-tended to the serving which wasdone in an attractive aianjuee, erect-ed on the lawn adjoining the cottage.

The wedding gifts were many andbrilliant, the useful with the orna-mental, the dainty with the lavish,and all eloquent with affection andworth for the receivers.

The couple left on the afternoontrain for their bridal trip^which willend at Malone, N. Y., their futureresidence.The bride's traveling dress was of

blue rajah silk with hat to match.The bride of today, an only daugh-

ter, is one of the most popular youngladies of the ancient eity-by-the sea,and withal one of the most attrac-tive. She graduated from the Ports-mouth high school, classical courseof 1&03, a regular attendant of theNorth church and a teacher in itsSabbath school. In her transferencethrough marriage to Malone thatcharming city gains a most worthydaughter through the adoption.

The gioom is a graduate of Dart-mouth college, class of '05, a lawyerby profession, in partnership withhis father, and having a most prom-ising future. It is,a matter of recordthat Port McClary in Portsmouth Har-bor was named after Major McClary,a great-great grandfather of thegroom and a distinguished officer ofhis time.

Departing from Portsmouth Mr.and Mrs. McClary are encompassedwith countless and heartfelt wishes,and may fine-spun golden threadsfall thick, fast and permanently aboutthem, and bring rich treasures toboth.

The Democrats of Franklin countyare to be congratulated on the excel-lence of their countj ticket this year,composed as it is entirely of youngmen of character and standing. It'sa pleasure to the Republican candi-dates to have worthy opponents, andwhen both parties do their best it'sa sign of good civic conditions. TheRepublican candidates are all first-class men and popular aad will havethe usual heavy majorities, as thejtdeserve to have in this strong Repub-lican county. If the county were closeit would mean much to the people tohave such good candidates on both

tes of the contest.

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

Annual Benefit of the Lake Titus "Sun«b>ne Society.

Those who attended the annualSunshine Benefit at Lake Titus Satur-day evening were iu uo wise disap-poiuied, for a program was present-ed taere in the open air which wouldhave done credit to any music hall

opera house. Tine entertainmentwas given at Camp Okwari, occu-pied this season by Francis FischerPowcs, of New York, the cottageand grounds being brilliantly lightedup for the occasion and the exercisestaking place oa the spacious piazzas

the camp. The attendance waslarge, many making the trip from Ma.lone especially to be present, and all\vtre more than delighted with theentertainment furnished. The pro-gramme was largely musical, a con-siderable part of which was vocal,given by four pupils of Mr. Powers,who have been under his training for

yeai and all of wlwitt showednotable progress. The selectionswere classics and were sung with aniutouation ana shading Which reflect-ed the highest credit on their instruc-tor, I he pupils were Mr. Harold Dud-ky Sill, of New York, the MissesMarjorie Dustin and Jeannette Stev-

and Mr. Clark J. Lawrence, ofloitfc, each singing three or four

selections. The aceompainm'ents wereulayed in a masterly way by MissKate S. Cnittenden of New York.Among Mr. Sill's selections were'Der Wanderer," by Schubert; Der

Traum." by Rubenstein, and "Ana-thema,'' by Von Felitz. Miss Dub-lin's included 'Die Allmach," bySchubert; "Till 1 Wake," by Mag-dalen Worden, and one of Frank Saw-yer's most popular compositions. MrLawrence sang the 'Serenade,'' bysjchufbert; "Mother o' Mine," by Toursand a selection from Rigoletto. Itis unnecessary to say that the friendsof these young people were all de-lighted with their work.

In addition to the selections byProf. Powers' pupils, there was a finepiano solo from Chopin by MissGladys Knowlton. The company wascharmed by the playing of Miss EthelAbbott, of Portland, Oregon, a guestat the Cnittenden cottage, who ren-dered exquisitely on the piano selec-tions from D'Albert, Liszt and Olsen.T&e musical programme was variedby two splendid recitations by MissFrances Willson, one the Habitantselection, entitled, "How BateeseCame Home,'' and the other"Slusch's M<a| or The New Cure forLazy Boys." Both were very nicely

ven and received with generousapplause.

Tiie annual collection for Sunshinework amounted to over $60, whichwill be devoted to charitable causes.New officers were elected as follows:President, Mrs. W. D. Warner; vice-president, Mrs. John M. Fisk; secre-tary and treasurer Sherburne House.A vote of thanks was extended Mr.Powers for providing the entertain-ment and the Misses Chittenden andArnold for their participation in it.

At the close of the programme theannual meeting of The Lake TitusProtective Association was held. Thereport of the secretary and treasurerwas received and accepted and offi-cers were chosen as follows: Presi-dent, W.. H.' LSllis; vice-president, G.H. Hale: secretary and treasurer,C. W. Russell. The directors whoseterms expired were re-elected.

DEATH OF MRS. J. W. SAWYER.

Weil-Known Malone Woman PassedAway Saturday Evening.

Saturday evening at six o'clock,Mrs. James W. Sawyer was called toa higher life. For a long time shehad been in failing health, sufferingfrom pernicious anemia, and aboutthree weeks ago, was taken suddenlyworse at the home of her daughter,Mrs. Isaiah Gabson. She was prompt-ly removed to her home and fromthat time failed rapidly. Mrs. Sawyerwas a woman of the highest characterand many noble qualities. She wasdevoted to her home and family anda most generous and charitable neigh-bor and friend. She was deeply in-terested in Malone, where she wasborn November 8th, 183s, and ofwhich she had been a lifelong resi-dent. seeing it grow from a smallhamlet to its jn'eseat proportions,developing in prosperity and attrac-tiveness.

Mrs. Sawyer was the daughter ofthe late Richard G. Foote, formerlya prominent lawyer of this village,and was of Revolutionary ancestry,having three uncles in the Revolu-tionary War, all of whom servedunder Col. Ethen Allen. An aunt wasthe wife of Governor Slade, of Ver-mont. Her grandfather was Capt.Appleton Foote, a pioneer residentof Malone, who built the first stonearch bridge across the Salmon riverat this point. He purchased the prop-erty where the state armory nowstands in 1807 and the property re-mained in the tamity until told tothe county for armory purposes.

Mrs. Sawyer was born on Elm St.,about where the residence of Wil-liam E. Smallman now stands. Shewas educated at Franklin Academyand married James W. Sawyer in'.859. About 1841 her parents movedto the place at the corner of Mainand Webster streets left by her grandfather and Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer re-sided there until the place was pur-chased by the county. She was anattendant of the Congregationalchurch and a worker in the society,though she never formally unitedwits the organization. Her husbandand four children survive to cherishher memory. These are Mrs. Gibson,Thomas K. Sawyer and Mrs. ArthurQuinu, of Malone, and Charles H.Sawder, a banker, of Los . Angeles,Calif. Henry V. R.

An epidemic of paralysis among thechildren of Brooklyn is baffling thephysicians there. More than 200 chil-dren in a limited district in the citywere stricken within a few days,bottle-fed babies seeming the mostsusceptible, and the epidemic waspronounced one of the largest of itskind in medical history. While thedisease does not appear to be fatal,Brooklyn physicians fear that manyof the victims will, be crippled forlife.

The death of Oliver LaPlante, Sr.,a well-known and respected Malonecitizen, occurred _at his home on theFlat in this village Monday morning,aged about 65 years. Mr. LaPlantehad been ill since spring and forsome time little hope had been enter-tained for his recovery. He is sur-vived by his wife and seven children:Oliver, of Malone; Alex., of Wiscon-sin; Albert, of St. Regis Falls; Ar-thur, of Malone; Mrs. Ed. Garrow,Marie and Sadie LaPlante, who resideat honi^>;-J9ie funeral occurs atNotre Dame church at 9 a. m. Wed-nesday morning, Rev. Blanchard offi-ciating. Mr. LaPlante was a devotedmember of Notre D&me and alsoof the St, Jean Baptiste Society,which*will attend the funeral in a body. Hewas employed for 40 years in thefamily of the late William Andruiand in recent years by the MaloneElectric Light Co. and in the Rut-land R. R. shops. T!he afflicted fam-ily have the sympathy of manyfriends in their bereavement.

Saratoga county has a mysteriousshooting case which the police areattempting to solve. Frank Smith, atool maker in the employ of theRemington Co., at Ilion, had beenspending his vacation at the homeof his parents on a farm at CliftonPark. He went to visit friends somedistance from the farm and return-ed about one o'clock in the morning.Having occasion shortly afterwardto get a drink of water he steppedout to the Well, and as he drank hecould be easily seen in the light ofthe kitchen lamp.
