Names.


The Legislature of Vermont at its late
session enacted laws in regard to names and
change of names which are of special inter-
est to women in that State. The laws are
rs follows:
, ANY person offull age and of sound mind,
not married woman, may change her name
by making. signing, sealing, and acknowl-
edging before the Judge of the probate DIS
trict in which such person resides, and filing
in the office of such probate Judge, an sn-
strument in the following form:
STATE or vERMOST- District.
Be il remembered that 1. A. Ii, Of--in the
County Of -. will be hereafter known and
cal ed -.
In witness whereof hereunto set my hand and
seal this day Q: -, AID
And such instrument shall, if in the opin-
ion of the probate Judge the same is prop
erly executed, be recorded in the office in
which it is fled.
Sec. 9 Ifs married man changes his
name and adopts new surname, such
change of name shall affect to change the
surnames of the wife and minor children of
such married person; and such wife and
n4inor children shall thereafter be known
and called by the same surname as the hus-
band.
This was signed by the Governor, Decem-
Der 10th. An act relating to adoptons
and changes of names was also enacted as
| follows
/ Any person other than married woman,
/ IF full age and sound mind, and any hus-
/ band ana wife, may adopt any other person
US his or their heir at law with or without
change of name of the person adopted. But
a married man shall not ADOPT any person
or change his own name without the consent
of his wife, expressed in the instrument
I of adoption or chsnge of names, which in
| strument in such cases shall be signed
sealed and acknowledged by such wife.

On the cultivation of the mind of woman

Something more than halfthe population

The town of Lansing, Tompkins County,

A school friend of George Eliot says that
while Marian Evans was the plainest-lOO&-
ing girl and the poorest in the aristOcratic
Edinburgh school, she was universally re-
spected as intellectually their superior. The
school girl of sixteen was of a sensitive and
retiring disposition, and far before her com

The sCongregationalist says: 1--WE hope
and prar for the time when every woman
who processes Christ will be found helping

ordained and to preach as simple way to
win the world to HIM who died." what will

OF course the Woman's Journal approves
Of the Governors message. John q. Whit
tier SAYS of the remarks on capital punish
ment and woman suffrage: son both these
questions Governor Long has spoken not
only with the courage of his convictions,
but with the wise foresight of man who
understands the logic of events and the
general drift Of public sentiment.-Spring-

1t is curious to note how slowly and re-

juacts Of women The Brooklyn Eagle
which is one of our brightest exchanges
says: alt is impossible for tie world to
know the woman George Eliot because of
her genuine naturalness, the extreme i'm
personality of her life. She was not 60
much woman as she was mind. 1t is
impertinence to compare her with any
masculine writer of fiction, and as to her
own sex there is no woman who has in
breadth of thought or power of uttersnce
approached her.

THE MOORE MURDER.
Further DeVeIOpments---RIrs.
Smith Sent 10 Jail.

The Attorney General gave notice
to the court, Saturday evening, that
he had other witnesses to examine on
new information relevant to the case
of Mrs. Smith. The following wit
nesses were examined before the court
at IL m. to-day:
Mr.. Lev. Grant stated that he knew
Mrs. Smith; had a conversation with
her in the courthouse since this trial
commenced. She went to his house
to ask his cousin what she remembered
of a conversation had between Mrs.
Smith and Mrs. Vaughan. He told
Mrs. Smith that he did not think it
advisable to bring his cousin here.
Mrs. Smith said: "Tell her what |
want her to say, and as to the other
matter tell her to say she not did re-
member it" Mrs. Smith said she would
like for me to help get the jury. Mrs.
Smith said nothing to him until he
told her not to summon his cousin.
Miss Addie Vaughan remembered
that Mrs. Smith said to her mother in
answer 10 the question, whether she
was going 10 live with Frank Moore,
"Yes, if for nothing else but to have
his brains blown out" Mrs. Smith
came to my house last Friday; she
asked me if l remembered the
time she went back to live
with Mr.. Moore. She never
asked me anything about what
l heard her say to my mother. Mrs.
Smith said she got letter from Joe
Hanson last Friday. l cannot re-
luember any more of the conversation
b etween Mrs. Smith and my mother.
Oliver Vaughan-Had a converse
ton with Mrs. Smith. Asked what 1
remembered about the case. l re-
membered when Joe Hanson came
back. She asked me to take one of
her houses since this case for nothing
to have my wife near her, because she
was lonesome.
Mr.. Paine-Remembered converse
ton with Mr.. Gallagher about a civil
suit. Did not say that he would put
up job on Mrs. Smith if she did not
come to time in his settlement.
Mr.. Jimmie Gallagher stated that
Mr.. Paine told him he would put up a
Job on Mrs. Smith if she did not give
linn fair settlement.
The Court said, In view of the tes
timony in the case l am constrained
to deny the defendant bail.
The sheriff took charge of her anC
conducted her to Jail.

WASHINGTON.
Resignation of a Prominent Official
In the Treasury Department.
Sensible Order from Secretary
Hunt.

WASHINGTON, October 3l--Colo:
mel George COwie, chief of the diplo-
matte and consul division of Che fifth
auditors Office and treasury depart
ment has resigned. Cowie recently
passed claim for $4,000, which was
pronounced illegal by the frs comp
troller. 1t is said that the cl aim was
indorsed by the State De-
partment officer, but this inclorse-
ment was not thought to be
sufficient to warrant its passage by
the Fifth Auditor, and as Cowie was
the responsible person, his resignation
was requested.
Secretary Hunt informs an officer OF
the navy and marine corps that ap-
plications for duty through persons Of
influence will not receive attention.
All such applications must be made
directly to the Secretary.

SOME Of the State credit, high tax,
faith and honor 1908 organs are giving
notice that the low tax mob is at
tempting to bulldoze the Supreme
Court on the pending State debt ques-
tion, and at the same time they give
the court to understand that they
have a profound reverence for its au-
thority, prerogatives and decis-
ions. They also take occasion
to inform the court what
the law is in regard to advancing the
1908 case on the docket. This is
very kind and considerate and may
save the court considerable labor in
looking up and constituting the statutes.
Some Of these same papers have
within the present year made known
their utmost contempt for some Of the
lower courts, and have designated
the Judges by name, and ex-
pressed a free opinion ofI
their mental and legal caliber. ALI
at once they have conceived a most
remarkable and intense respect for
the judiciary at large, and the Su-
preme Court in particular. If there
has been any concentrated or even
isolated talk from the peoples side Of
the question, calculated to terrorize
the Supreme Court, We have
yet to see or hear of it. This
journal, which has occasionally
discussed the debt question for seven
or eight years on a given straight line.
1t favored the reelection of the last
Supreme Court and has had no cause
to change its opinion Of the members
individually or otherwise. All were
reelected save one, an honored and
distinguished citizen, who was not and
is not in full sympathy with the
so-called Statc-credit Democratic
party. We hold that since the days
of disfranChisement and reckless car
petbag rule in this State there has
been no occasion to question the mo-
tives or harshly criticise the actions
of any Judge in the State, whether on
the Supreme bench or presiding like
Jack Williams" as they called him,
over an inferior court. There has |
been as little cause for adverse criti-
cism as there is now for fulsome
adulation. The Supreme Court would |
probably be governed by the law in |
this case just as we'll without so much
interested and ostentatious advice.

AFTER THE JAMES BOYS.
A Kentucky Posse Makea Forced
March.
But Find No Game Worthy Of
Their Steel.

LOUISVILLE, October 31.-A Cour-
ier- j Jeurnal Bowling Green special
says: An organized effort was made
on Friday night to capture the James
brothers in Logan county near Adairs-
vile. 1t had been rumored several
robbers were ia that neighborhood.
A woman wrote Governor Blackburn
on the 10th inst. that they intended to
attack the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad at Calesburg soon. Black
burn received the letter at Yorktown,
and turned it over to the railroad
authorities, but in doing the Organiz-
ing many days were lost. Detective
Larry Hazen Of Cincinnati, G.. w.
Hunter of Bardstown, and Sam NJ.
Adams of this city organized the at
tacking party, which was under the
direction of Hunter, who is the man
who captured Grove Kennedy.
The posse met at Russellville Fri
day evening and numbered sixteen
men, selected with special reference
to their cool courage. They we're
armed to the teeth with Winchester
rifles, double -barreled shotguns and
pistols. They arrived at 4 am. at the
house of the Hites, near Adairsyille,
where the robbers were known to have
been a few days previous. They sur
rounded the house, a large two story
frame, and waited for daylight. About
5 am. Hite went to the barn, where
some Of the posse were concealed,
and was detained. The others
then aroused the inmates Of the
house and every window was covered
by Hunters men. After several
calls the half witted son Of Hite was
seen to step out on the upper portico
and crawl to the edge and peep over
between the balusters and the floor as
if looking for some one. Some of the
men we're ready to fire upon him,
thinking from his actions that he was
one of the robbers. He was hailed
and told to get back into the house,
which he did instantly. Hunter,
Adams and Hardy then approached
the front door, while the others came
up from the rear. After thorough
search of the premises it was found
that the birds had flown.
1t is thought that they are neal
Bardstown. 1t is also thought that
they murdered the negro who was
found dead near Adamsville ten day;
ago for having accidentally discovered
them in the woods.
