former article, upon three distinct
grounds: First-that the sovereign
power to alter, revise. or abolish an ex.
isting frame of government is inherent
in the people, from the very form and
origin of our government; this princi-
pie being distinctly enunciated in the
Declaration of Independence. as well as
in the preamble of our own constitution.
Second, by the decisions of the courts
and thirdly by historical presidents. The
historical argument, or Illustration,
might be followed almost dd snttnitun!..
Take, for example, the case of. New
York In 1920 such men as De Witt
Clinton, Chancellor Kent, Judge Nelson,
Daniel d, Tompkins, Ambrose Spencer,
Martin Van Buren, and Rufus King had
''heard of some other method of chang
ing constitutions than through amend
ments passed by two legislatures and
then submitted to the people. Their
minds were troubled with the wonderful
''vagary" that a convention for the re-
vision of, tire constitution could be con-
vened at any time, if the people should
so decide, upon proposition 50 submit
ted to them by the Legislature. They
accordingly advocated and voted for
such a course, Governor Clinton recon-
mended the measure, the Legislature
passed a bill to that effect, the other
gentlemen named were members of the
convention, and the constitution of 1920
was. the work of their hands. Had they
lived in the year of light 1878, and in
Vermont, they would have discovered
how ignorant they were. of the only
proper and legal mode of procuring a
revision, and with what ''vagaries" their

snner.srn1 SnRaIoAL OPERATIONS

SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION
An operation of much more than ordi-
nary difficulty and importance, was
yesterday performed upon conductor
S. M. Whitney, of the Addison railroad,
by DIR. E. A. Pond, of this town, as
sisted by DIR. Cochran, sof West Rutland,
resulting in the removal of huge, fatty
tumor, weighing ova two pounds, Which
had been growing on the patients side,
under the arm, some fifteen years. The
action of ether upon the subject was not
satisfactory and, he consenting, the
operation was performed without putting
him under anesthetic influence. BE was
under the knife over three minutes and
stood the severe test with amazing fortl-
tnde. The tumor was imbedded some-
thing over an inch in the flesh, and, on
account of several adhesions, its removal
was extremely difficult, series of deli
cate dissections being necessary before
it could be raised. The patient is now
doing well and, unless something very
unusual happens, will soon be about
again. The physicians are to be con-
graduated on the skill and success with
which they accomplished the operation,
and the patient commended for the grit
he displayed Mr.. Whitney is at the
Bates House, where he will probably re-
main over in quiet for few days. DIR.
Pond says Whitney is ''pretty strong,
and when he gets back to his train, we
advise all ''bummers" and cheats" to
look out for him.

EVANS, THE NoRTHwocD MURDEREE.
This fiend, now in. the New Hamp-
shire State Prison for killing his niece,
Georgiana Lowering, still stoutly pro
tests his innocence of that and al other
crimes laid to his. charge. When frst
taken to the prison he asked the warden
for the privilege of praying ana groaH-
ing. The warden told him he. might
pray in secret increasingly, but no shout
ing or groaning would be permitted.
The old sinner processes to believe that
he will not be hung. He tells the warden
that his so-oalled confession" was put
in his mouth, and that he is the victim
of conspiracy, much abused man,
whom the Lord viii not permit TO be
hanged. As the time for his execution
approaches, however, he may change his
mood somewhat. When he comes TO
realize, that there is really no escape for
him, he may make 3 genuine confession;
Meantime, he appears to enjoy good'
health,

There is not professional wrestler in
the country to-day who can throw him.
Mcmahon is a Yermonter of extremely
quiet manners.
Homer Lane, an individual with ser
ious looking face, head of curley black
hair and clear piercing eyes, accompan-
led Mcmahon. AT one time Lane was
regarded as the most scientific wrestler
in the States, but he is not match for the
modest Vermonter. Mcmahon and Lane
were present ostensibly,to contend for a
prize of $500, but really not for one
cent. They came there to oblige the
managers of the entertainment.

Agriculture is a very discouraging
experiment this season. Investing lib

frosts of last Friday night nipped them

earth and unseen destroyers beneath.

A special from headquarters of the
Modoc expedition dated the 5th, states
that Gen. Davis was preparing evidence
to prove the identity of the AIodoc mur-
derers, intending to hang eight OF ten
leaders tomorrow, the 9th, when he re-
ceived a dispatch from Washington TO
hold them, subject to decision there, and
probable court martial at camp. This
delay causes great dissatisfaction among
citizens and in camp, and Is calculated
TO create wrong impression among sur
rounding tribes who are disaffected.

A Turkish Princess.

M.Betham Edwards visited a Turkish
princess, whom she describes as follows:
"Sho was tall and slender and very
handsome, with pearly skin, delicately
cut features, and black hair and eyes.
Her dress was simply perfect, ample,
flowing, easy, of soft, noiseless, lus-
trous silk, the precise hue OF which 1t
would be impossible to describe it
was something between an asphodel;,
blossom and the palest pink coral, and
vet neither the one nor the other ap'
preached it at all nearly. Around her
head was wound little turban OF deli
cately colored gauze, fastened over the
foreherd with jewel. Now, am sorry
to confess that this graceful and i'm.
posing creature was such an inveterate
smoker that it seemed the sole business
of two or three of her slave-girls to
supply her wants. During the two
hours that we were honored with her
presence one of these automaton-llke
figures would come in about every seven
or eight minutes, unsummoned, and
hand each of the ladies q cigarette
Anything more like machinery could
not be conceived. There was no salu'
tation on the part of the servant, no
acknowledgment on the part OF the
mistress. The cigarettes came and
went, and that was all.

Executed by Beheading.

A correspondent gives the following
account of an execution at Yeddo in
Japan:
The culprits were eight in number,
one being a woman. They were all be-
headed with q sword. The operation
was performed with wonderful dexter
ity and coolness, and not one of them,
even the woman, showed the slightest
symptoms of fear. There was a space
of ground roped off; inside were three
holes dug in the ground, with little
mound behind each. on which was
spread mat for the criminal to kneel
on. On one side of the inclosure were
two Japanese officials, in chairs, to see
the thing properly conducted. I had a
place directly in front of the mounds, at
about six feet distance. The criminals
were placed in a row, on one side OF
the inclosure, blindfolded with pieces
of paper (they use paper for everything
there).
What struck me most was the horrid
coolness of the executioner's assistant,
q good-looking lad of about 1S; he went
up to each poor wretch in his turn, gave
him tap on the shoulder, led him up
to the mound, and made him kneel on
the mat; he then stripped his shoul-
ders. made him stretch out his neck,
said "That will do" and ina flash the
mans head was in the hole in front OF
him. and his bleeding neck was, as 1t
were, staring me in the face. The as
sistant, still with the same pleasant
smile, picked the head up, threw some
water over the face to wash off the mud
and blood, and presented tito the Japa..
nese officials, who nodded and signed
to 30 on with the next. The assistant
then gave the corpse blow between
the shoulders to expel the blool, and
finally threw the carcass aside like q
log OF wood. =
He repeated the same pleasant pro-
eramme with the next. 1 never thought
a mans head could come off 80 easily;
it was like chopping cabbages, only ac-
companied with peculiar and most
horrid sound-that of cutting meat, in
fact. There was dense crowd of JAP
anese present, including many women,
and even children; these people never
ceased to eat, smoke, and chatter the
whole time, making remarks on the
performance, and even occasionally
laughing, just as If they were at
theatre.

A Strange Discovery.

The arrest of number OF poor coal
pickers in Kansas City, recently, has
resulted in the discovery Of once very
popular actress, who long ago drove the
play-going public Of London wild over
her beauty and power of delineation.
A railroad watchman caught a bright
eyed little girl of thirteen years filling
her basket with Goals from the cars of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad. When
the child was brought before the au-
thorities, Mrs. Caroline Whittlesey,
more familiarly known as Brighton
PEARL" of the Drury Lane Theatre, ap.
peared in her behalf, and her calm and
iady.like manner, and pale, careworn
face, were all the eloquence required to
release the little girl from the watch
mans grasp. This man, to test the
yoman's words as to her poverty and
destitution, visited her rude, unplaster-
ed hovel in the bottoms near the rail-
road track. A clean but humble bed, a
few chairs, table, o number of relics
of the stage, such as play-bills, por.
traits, &C., aud sewing machine, COM
prised all her earthly possessions. Mrs.
Whittlesey, it appears, went to Kansas
City about five years ago, and has lived
there since the death OF her husband
by her own exertions as n seamstress.
When she left the stage she did 30 ex.
pectipg to become the wife OF Lord
Denbig gb, with whom she went, as his
wife, to Geneva and thence to Florence,
where they lived in retirement several
months. On his death her claims as
his wife were set aside, and having
neither money nor friends she came to
this country to seek livelihood. Since
the death of her husband, whom she
married in Kansas, she had gradually
become reduced in circumstances, and
now found herself compelled to send
her child to gather Goals to assist in
eking out the scanty support won by her
needle.
