Ths next step of her opponents, characteristically New England, was to call a Town Meeting "to take such measures as would effectually avert the nuisance, or abate it, if it should be brought into the village." On the appointed day, March 9, the great Town Hall was crammed rom floor to gallery with Canterbury's alarmed free men, the sons of sires who had been with Puttnan when of old he had dragged the wolf from her den, and had stood shoulder to shoulder with each other in many a fcloody fight against England's invading hosts, rushing now from shop, store and field to drag this more insidious Quaker wolf from her den and to repel these more formidable 'misses of color' from their soil. One of the village's dignified citizens, doubtless a follower of lata who said 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of one of these my brethren, ye have done it unto was chosen moderator of the meeting; and a Series of Resolutions was offered by Rufus Adams, a polished magnate, ordinarily noted for his dry wit, setting forth the damage and disgrace that i i 1 i i i i i ken in, and its rooni3 generally rendered untenable.

Mrs. Philleo was a sufferer rom chronic asthma and ever since last October, she has been failing.

She did her own work until about a mouth ago. She did not call medical help nor employ remedies, "for," said she, "mind has a great power on matter and I think I can drive away this disease," but in spite of her heroic efforts to use her mind in driving away disease, she grew weaker. She then employed a Christian Science lady and for a time gained rapidly. She was jubilant that she would soon be in good health again, but it was not to be so. She was taken suddenly worse, last Wednesday evening, and although skilled medical aid was called nothing could be done and she passed quietly to rest, Monday morning at twenty minutes of eleven.

Calvin Philleo, a Baptist minister and moved to New York, and from thence to Illinois and after the death of her husband, to Elk Falls, living, until a few years ago, on a farm a few miles out of town.

Since coming to Kansas, as well as all her life, she has been earnest in advocating that which she believed to be right, and here in Kansas, as in Canterbury, she has not failed to find those who have been ready to oppose and persecute her. At the time of her marriage she was a member of the Baptist Church, but she was led to a studj' of the question of the future, and after considerable investigation she reached the conclusion that no soul would be eternally lost. This belief she expressed and as it was out of Mrs. Philleo had and she determined to call in medical aid, but although ahe was suffering greatly and thought she might be helped, or at least relieved, by taking medicine, she would take nothing until she sent for the Christian Science lady and dismissed her.

The colored people of the state, he said, had access already to its district schools, which ought to be enough. As to those coming rom abroad, without the enforcement of some law against them the South might some day free all its slaves and send them up into Connecticut to be educated, which would be an overwhelming calamity. How, he asked, appealing to popular prejudice, would the other towns of the state like to see colonies of colored girls started in their midst, tempting their sons into marriage? Then, as to the constitutionality of the law, he argued that where the colored people were not enfranchised they could not be regarded as citizens, or have the rights of citizens.

And yet, he added graciously, I am not opposed to their improvement except as far as it violates the constitution and endangers the a result, he thought, which was likely to ensue, if Miss Crandall was not suppressed.
