IAsM IN A REPUBLICAN MEETING IN
BROOKLYN.
There was a meeting under the aus
pic Of the brooklyn Republican Cam
paign Committee in the Brooklyn Aca-
DENY last night. Dodworth's Thirteenth
Regiment Band furnished music first at
the door to attract q crowd, and then
from the stage TO entertain 1t. Albert
Daggett called the meeting to order, and
nominated w. IL. Waring for chairman.
He was elected. Gen. Joseph X. Haw-
ley was tie principal speaker. All that
he had to say about the Credit 'Mobilier
was that a Republican investigating
committee found out all there was
found out abont it. When the speaker
uttered Gen. Hancock's name, there was
loud cheering. He said, bowing grace
fully III acknowledgement of the ap-
plause, that, he, too, would cheer Han
cock as an honorable man and as a gal
liant soldier. He then went on to show
wny,in his opinion Hancock should not
bs elected President. There were loud
cheers for Hancock, however, every
time his name was mentioned, mo matter
with what sentiment It was coupled by
the speaker.
Gen. N. p. Banks and Chauncey NJ.

attractions of the meeting, but neither

snakes as Life Destroyers.

The loss of life in India due to the ra-
wages of venomous snakes is almost in.
credible. Yet the diseas, which IL as willy
and deadly as the deadliest India reptile,
IS winding its coil around thousands OF
people while the victims are unconscious
of Its presence. 1t has long been q hobby
with incompett mt physicians TO ASSUME
that consumption IL incurabie after Lht
formation of tubercles has begun and In
every case they fail to effect q cure
of course tubercles had begun to form
and they were incurable. The records Of
medical science disprove any such theory
On the contrary, In cases of lung airease
which had been cured and the patients
lived forty and fifty years in ROBUST health
post IN nortem exam nations showed large
cicatrices (scarsl where the tubercles had
been formed and removed. The tubercles
are removed by absorption into the blood.
A n efficient Alternative. DIR. Pierce's Golden

cleanse the blood OF scrofulous impurities.
For tubercular consumption is only form
OF scruiulous disease. Golden Medical
Discovery is sovereign remedy for all

Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1880-10-29
THE BURLINGTON, VT, FREE PRESS, FRIDAY

that the. large towns are compensated Tor their
inadequate representation by the enlarged
influence of their representatives Inc
representation of Burlington in this lesisia-
ture" SAYS the Messenger, except IN Inc
mere act of voting, is more than equal TO Il
representation based Oh population, as com
pared with that of other towns OF Cmttendch
county" Ercept in TIE niatter IF cotihg but
it happens to be lay votes thai most questions
are settled in the Legislature. The repre-
sentative of this city has but II single vote
and the vote Of the representative OF 81.
George can neutralize that, on any question
OF course the fact that he represents larger
constituency gives member, other things
being equal a little More influence ana
higher standing but after all, as rule, the
position and influence Of Il member are deter
mined chiefly by his own qualities and abiii-
ties. Representatives of the large towns III
which the parties are nearly equal
are often small men, selected because they
have no enemies A man of real ability
makes his mark and takes the position 10
which his character, experience and capacity
entitle him, irrespective of the size oi the
town he represents. Londonderry has less
than 300 voters but its representative mas i
position of more prominence and power than
that of any member on the floor OF The
| House.
A second argument advanced by the Mes
senqey is, that smaller House might vote
to increase the pay Of its members we
think members representing constituencies
of thousand voters would be likely to be
more sensitive to public opinion than those
representing constituencies OF hundred =
and that there would be less instead OF great
er likelihood that they would venture into
salary grabs.
The main argument, however, Tor town
representation, Is the general value OF the
township system. This argument we Will
consider in another article.

They are beaten out of their boots. They

A YuUSG GIRL sTAEVE5 II DEATH - FAN
CIED AToSEMENr TOR sIEs.
The following singular story IS from the
Syracuse y. ~ CoU,r:
A mile north of the villae, Of Phoenix,
lives Joseph Smith, an honest, industrious
farmer. lie is a God fearing man, and is
prominent at religious meetings. Not until
about three wears ago did Mr.. Smith cvince
any particular interest in church matters.
At that time Il revival occurred in the
Methodist Episcopal church in Phoenix. Mr..
and Mrs. Smith attended regularly. and ex-
pericnccd change OF heart, Night after
night they INDUCED in lengthy eyhortaiions,
and their spiritual tenets eventually develop
ed into fanatSm
Three or four weeks ago Mrs Smith be
came impressed that she aud Ecr daughter, 4
bright, intelligent girl of sixteen. were filled
with sin. The daughter became imhucd with
the same belief and the two were convinced
that nothing but protracied fasting and pray
er would cleanse their souls. They told
minister al their contemplated action and be
sanctioned it. -a,UuIiiIH-l,, 81 noon on the
4th inst, they each partool Of little milk.
For iive days neither of them took nourlsh-
ment of any description, but at the end Of
that time Mrs. Smith resumed eating. The
sustenance OF the infant nj her breast was ex-
hausted. and, as she SAYS, obCyiuE Divine in
structions, she broke her fast. The young
girl, however. continued flstinr. The total
abstinence of the Young girl continued until
the 1Ith, when she was given q slight guam
tity of food in liquid form. She was 50
weak that she hail frequent fainting
spells. On Saturday evening the 10Th,
friends learning Of TIE condition
of the girl called in 4 dnctOr
but she was past aid and died the next
morning, Sunday Some time previous to
beginning the fast the Girl was in delicate
health, but at the time Of beginning her
abstinence she was in perfect yisor. She
was of determined disposition, and il was
her self will that caused her to resist the
pangs Of hunger. While fasting she moist
encd her mouth each day with Il damp
cloth, and twice she washed her mouth with
water On one of these occasions she acct
dentally swallowed Il single drop, and for
this supposed sin she atoncd hy PRAYING for
eighteen consecutive hours. When she
became 81 weak that she could not get on
her knees, her mother informed her that
PRAYER was Just as eircctual while sitting in
a chair or lying in bed, and in these condi-
tons il was continued until her physical
strength was exhausted.
There are several other children in the
family, hut none of these participated IN the
fast. Mr.. Smith, although not fasting, in
terposed no objection to his daughters ;th-
stinence. The facts Of TIE ease did not he
come generally known Urtil Il day or two
ago An investigation will he Il III, and il it
is found that Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are insane,
as it is supposed they are they Viii tr sent
to an asylum.
