Great crimes work great wrongs, and
the deeper tragedies of life spring from its
larger passions but woful and most melan-
choly are the uncatalogued tragedies that
issue from gossip and detraction most
mournful the shpwreck often made Of noble
natures and lovely lives by the bitter winds
and dead salt waters Of SANDER. So easy
to say, yet so hard to dsprove-throwine
on the innocent and Furnishing them as
guilty, if unable to pluck out the strings
they never see and to silence the words
they never heard. Gossip and slander are
the deadlest and cruelest weapons man has
for his brothers heart.

One OF the worthiest and most sue.

started in this city, Is the Temperance
organization, originated and directed by
the Rev. Father Co6ey OF the Catholic
Society. It already numbers hfty-two
members. who have taken the pledge and
are exerting their influence for the vel.
fare Of others. Several members. who
were far gone in habits of intemperance,
have reformed. Every good citizen should
aid and encourage these efforts of the
reverend father, as promoting peace, good
order. and prosperity. Let all be of one
mind in this good cause. and the rum

criminal courts will be deserted-and

ted with the Sullivan Baptist Church.
There was but one Baptist Church In the
! towns Of Sullivan, Hancock and Franklin.
Vt that time. In 1924 after the town OF
Hancock Was set on from Sullivan. the
members Of the church living in Hancock
were dismissed from the Sullivan church.
and organized into church known as the
Hancock Baptist church. They both ever
lived consistent christian lives, aud adorn-
ed their profession. Mr.. Wooster was for
years considered one Of the pillars of the
church. He was also worthy and useful
citizen. His judgment and opinion in mat
tiers OF doubt and uncertainty. were solic-
tied BY his neighbors and friends, and were
very Often decisive. They were born about
the time that American Independence was
declared. The events of the 1912 war
were fresh In their memories. Mrs. Woos-
ter met with q severe accident twenty
years ago. She fell on the ice which
caused n permanent laineness. She has
been confined TO her room sincc that time
and has not stepped on one foot ing the
past twenty years. There is one rcmarka-
BILE circumstance that perhaps would not
be out Of place to mention; she was never
in q carriage on wheels in her life time.
She was faithful. Kind and devoted COM
panion and mother. ever willing to devote
her strength and energies to the comfort
and benefit OF her family. The needy and
the distressed ever had her sympathy, and
she was ever ready to render such as

trust she has gone TO her reward. The

The vlFGinlos XOs . r0ls "a
States Vessel.

WASHISGTOS, Dec. ~.
Ii has been known for many days that
the Spanish government has furnished
evidence with regard to the Virginius and
her claim to the right to bear the flag of
the Unite d States, and that the President
has subm tilted the evidence to the Attor-
ney General for his opinion thereon. IL
seems now to be understood in official cir
cles that the Attorney General has given
the opinion that the vessel had forfeited
the right to bear the flag Of the United
States, and at the time Of her capture was
carrying it without right and improperly.
In view Of this opinion our government
will in accordance with terms of the pro-
tocol institute an inquiry and adopt pro-
ceedings against the Virginius and against
any Of the persons who may appear to
have been guilty of illegal acts in CON
nectiOn ttherewith. As Spain has proven
to the satisfaction of the United States, ac
cording to the Attorney Generals opinion.
that the Virginius was at the time carry
ing the United States flag without right
and improperly the salute to tine flag on the
18th Of December will be dispensed with,
as it is not necessarily reputable, but the
United States will expect a disclaimer of
the intent of indignity to its flag in the act
which was committed from the proofs SUBJ
mitted by Spain. 1t appears that the clear
ance papers OF the Virginius were obtain
