GUILDHALL. w., Dec. II, 1915.


The death OF Vicc-PrcSidcnt Wilson
has created a profound sensation through
out the country, Notwithstanding the fact
that the event was not an unexpected one,
rs the Nicc-Prcsidcnt has been in feeble
health for the past two years. The death
of the second officer of the government
would be 4 marked event i'm the political
history Of the country at any time.
Mr.. Wilson has held and acted con-
spicuous part in the affairs of the nation
in the most trying period Of its history,
and his record for candid integrity and
honesty of purpose throughout his whole
public career must be a bright one in the
history of our country. Mr.. Wilson was
most emphaticallya selEmade man, as he
rose by his own unaided efforts, from the
very depths Of poverty and indulgence
through successive Offices of honor and
trust to the high position he held at his
death. The sad event will cause no break
or jar in the working of the government
as the United States Senate over which
he presided, by constitutional provision
will promptly fill the place made vacant
by the election of a President, pro tenn
who will hold the position till the 4th o
March, 1877, at which time the newly elect
ed Vice-Presidant, who will be chosen
next year. will take the place.

Our Canadian ncighbors are waking III
In the matter Of internal improvements,
and have pushed one grand work to com
pletion. On the 8th of November there
was formal opening of great railway
line running from Halifax to Quebec, a
distance of about six hundred miles.
This road was built in the most substan-
tlal manner by the government The
bridges are all of iron and the work thor
ough and complete. The completion OF
this line makes continuous road from
Halifax to Ottawa, a distance of about
Line hundred miles. But this is not all
Canada is bound to have her great Pacific
railway, and this completed road is but
the commencement of it. A full corps O.
sengineers have been Surveying and locat
ing the road from Ottawa to Fort Gary
at the crossing of the Red River some
four hundred miles north of st. Paul
The distance surveyed the past summer
west from Ottawa is eleven hundred miles
Report says the rails are purchased fol
this link, and the government is driving
it to completion as rapidly as means ant
money can be procured. The boundary
line between the Atlantic and Pacific il
5000 miles in length, and full one third il
q an air line on the 49th parallel. And thi
railway line will be much longer than til,
boundary, and of course the longest OF
the American Continent. The Canadian
government is at work quietly, withou
brag or buster, in this great work. On,
benefit will be that passengers from owe
the Atlantic will arrive in Chicago as sool
as the vessel that brought them arrives il
New York, and save nearly third of TIL
ocean voyage.

"That Heather Chinee."

1t was thought by many sanguine phil
anthropists that the Chrese, flocking as
they do in such large numbers to the Pa
ciflc coast, would almost unconsciously
imbibe Christian morals and habits, from
contact with the elevated moral atmos-
phere which prevails, but in some cases
the contrary effect seems to obtain. This
has recently been strikingly illustrated in
an order passed by the city authorities for
the suppression of opium smoking dcns,
of which there arc scores patronizcd eX-
clusively by Chinese, besides eight with
in three blocks of the City Hall frequent
ed by white persons of both sexes, many
of whom are said to occupy respectable
positions in society. The committee to
whom the matter was referred, reported
that these places are patronized not only
by the vicious and depravcd, but are
nightly resorted to by young men and wo-
men of respectable parentage, and by
young men engaged in respectable bust
ness vacations in the city; that the hab-
itues of these infamous resorts inhale the
fumes from the opium pipes, until state
of stupefaction is produced; that unless
this most dangerous species of dissipa-
ton ean be stopped in its inception there
is great danger that it will become one
Of the prevalent vices of the city; that
in the opinion of the Committee these
places are an unmitigated evil, and call
for immediate and rigid legislation, and
thereupon resolution was passed, that
thereafter proprietors or habitues OF
these places should upon conviction be
liable to fine not exceeding $500, or i'm
prisonment not exceeding six months
or both. 1t is expected that the enforce
ment Of this regulation will put stop tC
this nefariOus business.

The inmates of the New Hampshire
State Prison were not forgotten on the
great New England feast day, but were
treated to dinner, better than which was
not had by any one in town. Warden
Pillsbury made ample preparations for
their treat, having supplied one hundred
and fifty pounds Of turkey, which was
served to the men at three o'clock in the
afternoon. In addition to this each man
was given whole mince pic, apples,
crackers and coffee. What is something
unusual, each and every one of the 1877
men confined there was well, aud each one
took his dinner doubtless with heart
full Of gratitude for the kind thoughtful
ness that had provided it. One fact
about the dinners at the institution is that
Ghere is never any disorder in the party
or any excessive conviviality, which has
been known sometimes to characterize
dinner parties.
At nine o'clock in the morning divine
service took place in the chapel,-Patftot.

spring to commit raid. Section 2 is as

Mr.. Bcecher's Thanksgiving sermon
discussed the question Of the Common
Schools, and notably the point whether
the Bible should be read in them. He
declared unqualifedly against it. There
is no reason, he argued, why the jew
should be compelled to listen to or pay
for the reading Of the New Testament,
which he did not believe why the Roman
Catholic should be forced to have his chill
dren read, or listen to the reading of the
Protestant version Of the Bible, which he
did not think correct; or why, in localit-
les where the majority was the other way
the Protes taNt children should be forced,
in the same way, to read the Douay Bible.
In a word, he insisted that the common
school should be godless-,iust as the hat.
ter's shop or grocery store, which we sus.
tain, is goddess, and for the same reason
to wit, that their bu;incSs is to furnish
certain limited and specific necessaries o.
life, not to teach religion or become instru
mcnts of propagandism. Mr.. Bccchel
unquestionably read Alright the signs O
the times in declaring the American peo
pie capable of a grand enthusiasm on the
subject OF Common Schools. They may

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thiekened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by it's use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M

Murder Will Out.

A startling revelation comes from
near the county Of Ottawa, Ohio.
Thirty-seven years ago John Hopfnger,
well-to-do farmer, living near the
Seneca CoHnty line, turned up missing
under these circumstances, He had a
nephew, a middle-agcd man then. The
uncle boarded with man named Dan
lei Thorne at the time of the disappear
snce, who was suspected of the murder,
III consequence of which, although pro-
Tossing innocence, he was forced to
leave the country. A newly filed well
was found on his farm, but nothing was
found in it, and the matter dropped.
Meanwhile Andrew, the nephew, has
grown to be an old man SO years old.
On Saturday he found himself on his
death-bed. Calling his friends around
him he confessed to his uncle's murder,
and sinking the body in the marsh.
The affair creates great excitement in
the locality.
