D. | Members of his former congregation received notice on Thursday morning | of the death at his home, in Roxbury, Mass,, of Rev. Sherburne S. Matthews, D. D., for about six years, ending in | 1905, pastor of the Westfield Congre- | gational church in Danielson. was due to heart failure and followed an illness that attacked him suddenly a few days ago. The announcement was very much of & snryrise in Dan- ielson, where he was a visitor with his chter, Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews rdson, a few day did not look as well as usual at that e there was nothing to indfcate that he was in a critical condition of health. It was learned Thursday that Dr. Matthews has been very active of late and that vinly through his efforts $100,000 has been raised for a branch of the Salvaiion Army work, with which he has recently been identified. Dr. Matth was one of the most able of the pastors that have minis- teded to the Westfield Congregational church: In fact, he was a man of quite | remarkable ability. He was born 62 years ago at Salis- ss., the son of a Methodist gyman, for whom he was named. early education was received in Switzerland. Later he attended the- ological seminaries at Andover, Mass., and Hartford. He was ordained to the ministry in 1874.

A diamond-backed live rattlesnake on exhibition in the window of a local store attracted a great deal of attention on Thursday. The reptile comes from Arizona. A look at his snakeship re- called to W, H. Shippee of North street that there used to be rattlers in this section, and that his father imade a practice of catching them up in the rocky section of the town of Pomfret. This dangerous feat was accomplished by an ingenious method. A square piece cof thin white cloth attached to a pole of protective length would be tantaliz- ingly flaunted close to the head of the sinister victim, and when his anger reached the proper proportions he would strike viciously. That was just what was wanted. The needle-like teeth would catehi in the cloth, the snake then being unable to withdraw them. After that it was simply a mat- ter of keeping him clear of the ground to keep him completely at his mercy. There are few. if any. rattlesnakes in this section nowadays, however, 0 don’t hanker for a chance to try it. Umpires Appointed. The staff of umpires appointed by the president of tie Eastern Connecti- seball league for the season opening tomorrow is as follows: Henry Caisse, Putnem; J. E. Moriarty, Jewett City; John B.
