Mrs. Ellon B. Barrows died at lier home in New York City, on Tuesday, Nov. 15, after a very short illness. Pneumonia was the cause of death. She was about 85 years of age. She was well known in Laporte, having spent a number of summers here with her daughter Mrs. Ellery P. Ingham. Mrs. Barrows resided for many years in the city of Philadelphia where her husband was in business up to the time of his death. It is a matter of history that during the war of the Rebellion there was maintained in Philadel phia, chiefly by the ladies of that city, what was called a "Soldiers' Refreshment Saloon'", but which combined in reality, a hospital with a saloon. Soldiers passing through that citygoing or coming, were entertained and if sick received hospital care and medical treatment entirely free of charges or expense. Mr. Barrows contributed largely to this enterprise, and Mrs. Barrows gave her whole time to it for near ly four years without any compen sation whatever. In connection with her other duties she acted as Secretary of the Association, and retained the records, with many mementos of the war. up to the time of her death Mrs. Barrows had many friends in New York and Philadelphia and also in Massachusetts, where the homestead of the Barrows family has been kept up for several gener ations. Her friends in Laporte mourn sincerely and l'cel that in her death they have suffered a great loss. The funeral services were held in Philadelphia and her remains were interred in Laurel Hill Cemetery by the side of the remains of her husband. William B. Chamberlain. "William Brailie Chamberlain, died at his home in this place on Friday morning. Nov. 18, at 4:25 o'clock, of Blights Disease, at the age of 45 years, - months and 5 days. Mr. Chamberlain was born in Pennsylvania in 1865. He was a son of Uriah and Hannah Cham berlain. He had been ill for a long time with the disease which caused his death but was not in a critical condition until about three months ago, from which time he has grad ually weakened until death came to release him from the pangfc of his sufferings. He is survived by a wife and live young children. Funeral services were held Sunday morning, Rev. U. L. Dixon of the M. E. church officiating. Interment was made in Mt. Ash Cemetery. Mrs. George Taylor. Mrs. George Taylor died at her home in Muney Valley on Thurs day, Nov. 17, at the age of (>8 years and 2 months. Mrs. Taylor was born in Germany and came to this country with her parents in 1850. The family spent three years in New York and then settled in Sullivan county. Funeral ser vices were held Saturday and in terment was made at Muncy Val ley. John Brislin. John Brislin, a highly respected citizen of Cherry Township, died Sunday morning at his home after a brief illness of heart trouble. He was 02 years of age. Deceased is survived by a wife and six children all at his home. He also has one brother, Hugh Brislin, of Cherry Township. The funeral was held at St. Basil's Church at Dushoreon Wednesday at 9 o'clock. Samuel Kostenbader. Samuel Kostenbader, died at the home of his father-in-law, Win. Ritter, on Tuesday at the age of 79 years. Dropsy was the cause of death. The remains were taken to his old home in New Columia for interment. Payment of Bounties. Much speculation is rife and fre quent inquiries are made by sports men and others as to why bounties are not paid by the County Com missioners fbl' the killing of wild cats, foxes and minks. This has been many times answered, but still the question is asked and with good reason, and I now submit the following explanation for the ben efit of those who may be interested: The Act of July 9, 1897, giving bounties for the destruction of wild cats, foxes and minks, has been de clared unconstitutional and void because of a defect in the title of the bill. The Act of April 11, 19- 10, was passed for the purpose of curing the defects in the former act but the Superior Court in the case of Bennett vs. Sullivan, 29 Superior Court 120, held that the correction was worse than the er ror, and of course the Act of 1897 was without force or effect, or as though it had been written upon water This left the slayer of these ob noxious animals without any com pensation for his brave efforts to benefit the community at large un til the legislature of 1907, came to the rescue by passing an almost similar act, but on a reasonably constitutional basis, providing for the payment of these bounties by the State, and made an appropria tion of $40,000.00 for that purpose. After the passage of the latter act everything went well. The bounties were paid and there was no complaint. But trouble again arose. The legislature of 1909 must have had it in mind that the $40,000.00 appropriated in 1007 was sufficient to have exterminated all the wild-cats, foxes and minks in the State and far beyonds its borders, because it made no addi tional appropriation to enable the good work to be continued. Fol lowing the adjournment of the ses sion of the legislature of that year the Commissioners of Sullivan County received a letter from the Auditor General, in relation to the payment of bounties, which is as follows: To the County Commissioners, Laporte, Pa., Gentlemen: This is to advise you that the Legislature failed to make any appropriation for the payment of bounties on noxious animals for the two years lieginning June. 1, 1908. It did make an appropria tion of $40,000.00 to pay the de ficiency that already existed. Of this over $27,000.00 is already due to the various Counties for the bal ance of the bills that were due up to August 14, 1908, at which time we distributed the balance of the former appropriation then in the treasury. From data on hand, we are convinced that the remaining $13,000.00, will not be sufficient to reimburse the Counties for those bills which have already been paid but not presented to this depart ment. We have, therefore, to re quest that you pay 110 more of these scalp bounties. Yours truly, T. A. Critchen, Deputy Auditor General. This, then, is the situation. This is why bounties are not paid. Is not this a good reason? We hope it will be understood. It is not an appreciable condition of af fairs for the holders of many claims now on file in the office, and we are sensible of it, but we did not make the law. Trusting this ex planation will cause you to be sat isfied, if not contented, we are, Yours very respectfully, County Commissioners. Laporte, Pa., Nov. 17, 1910.
