Palmer, for many years an instructor in the Ma- lone public schools and greatly es- teemed in the community, died Fri- day night at her home, 90 Duane Street, following a brief illness, a heart ailment being the cause of death. She had been ill since last week Wednesday, but Friday was able to be up and about her home a part of the time. Her condition, however, became critical at about 9 o'clock and she failed rapidly until the end came at 11 o'clock. Everything possible was done for her relief by her physician who was called t- attend her. Miss Palmer was 75 years of age and was born in Malone, a daugh- ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Smith Palmer. Her entire life was spent here. She was educated in the Ma lone schools and following her j graduation from Franklin Academy became an instructor in the Ma- lone public schools, teaching the fifth grade and in the grammar school and continuing as a teacher for 40 years, up to her retirement about 10 years ago. She was always regarded as an efficient instructor and her passing has saddened the hearts of many Malcnc residents who were her pu- pils during their school days. Her life was devoted to her school work and her interest in the schools here was continued after her re- tirement from active employment as a teacher. She was a member of the Congregational Church and greatly devoted to her church affi- liations. She leaves surviving one sister, Miss Clara Palmer, who is also a retired teacher, woth whom she re- sided in the home on Duane Street. A brother, §i.dney Palmer, who was a well known Malone printer, died in 1896. Besides her sister, she leaves very few near relatives sur- viving. Dr. the J. L. Fraughton introduced H. J. Megin, of Burke, as speaker of the day at the Kiwanis Club meeting yesterday. He is a retired medical officer of the U. S Navy who accompanied Theodore Roosevelt into the heart of Abys- sinia 33 years ago when the lat- ter was allowed to hunt for a little known specie of tiger and was in- vited to the capitol to visit King Menelik. The hardships of the trip were detailed to show how little chance an invader has to reach his objective in trying to penetrate the WOMAN BADLY BURKED WHEN OIL EXPLODES heart of that wild country The speaker pointed out that the invading Italian army, once they get far beyond the borders, will l>- harassed on every hand by a uni- fied, hard-righting- people and 1>\ the very ruggedness and almost impassability of the country. The country known as Abyssinia was circumscribed by King who set up a government which it some respects is remarkable and to be admired. He became ruler ot a country with 7,000 years of his- tory, 2,000 years older than th«- j Chinese and it has a record of nev- er having thrown a spear outside of its own territory and of never i having tasted defeat when snvad- i ed. There, are 1,000 square miles j in the territory governed by Haile Selassie, the present emperor, and the speaker said it is the only ter- ritory in Africa not at present con- trolled by some foreign power. Dr. Megin recalled that a pre- vious expedition by Italians into Abyssinia, years ago, when the in- vaders only penetrated one and one-half miles, resulted in disaster for the Italians. Of 36,000 troops sent there only 21,000 returned. The primitive but effective, imple- | ments of war used by Abyssinians j were described, particularly the j spear which has a needle-like point j t*hich has been boiled in poisonous herbs. Even a scratch is deadly if it draws blood. Her clothing ignited by flaming kerosene which she had poured on a wood fire in the kitchen stove, Mrs Michael Welch, 68, of Chat- taugay was severely burned about the body Monday and is in a ser- ious condition at the Alice Hyde Hospital. Dr. R. G. Perkins wno r is at- tending her, stated that her condi- tion was serious because of the ex- tent of the burns, almost her en- tire body having been seared by j the fire. Dr. Perkins said that her ' condition was not critical and she | had a chance for recovery if com- I plications did not set in. | Because of the timely action of i hw daughter, Mrs. Ellen Rankins, ! and son-in-law, Archie Rankins, ! who rushed to her aid, the burns I are not deep. They tore the flam- | ing clothing from her and sum- Mc.vu.lil- imfm( ' (1 Dr> U P * S P ra ^ UG of Chat \ \ ;;';t'augay who gave first aid. I M rs. Welsh was starting a fire i in a wood stove and, when she | poured kerosene on the fuel, an ex- plosion resulted, throwing the flam- ing oil r, n her clothing.
