True, the Herald got ahead Of us on "Wednesday IN
announcing the death Of Hon. JOIN DAyIs-a very
important fact fit had not happened TO be ground
less fabrication. Such discrepancies between the
two papers are constantly occurring out we are
very seldom provoked TO notice them. we are SAT

have been distilled But perhaps the worst exnio
