Hon. John N. Pomeroy, naive and
lifelong resident of Burlington, died
in that city on Saturday at the age OF
SS years. Born in 1893, he graduated
from the University of Vermont in
1909, and was long the Oldest living
alumnus of the institution.
The Hon. G. w. Wicker, liquor
agency commissioner for Addison
county, has adopted new system for
the use of the town liquor agency.
Blanks are furnished each applicant for
liquor, which must be filled out In
writing by the purchaser, stating the
kind and amount of liquor desired and
for what purpose wanted. II is thought
the adoption of this system will tend TO
reduce false applications VIGOROUSLY
made for purposes of intoxication.

n" The annihilating criticisms of the
Herald and Globe editor have descended
upon the unfortunate quartet of physi-
clans attending the president, and they
are shown up to the world as men who
"dont know enough to find a pus cavity
or don't dare to pierce it when they
locate it." TIC aforesaid editor is cx-
ceedingly dissatisfied with their treat
ment of the case to the extent ola whole
column of his valuable rant, and he is
sure that they do not know ANYTHING
abont their business. 1t is barely DOS
sible that our frothy.mouthed brother
of the Herald doesn't know what he is
talking about. There is suspicion
abroad that the physicians in charge of
the case understand their duties and
responsibilities in relation to it quite as
we'll as any rattle-headed editorial scribe
who hasn't been within four hundred
miles OF the patient. There is altogeth-
er too much of this idiotic criticism of
the eminent physicians TO whose care
the presidents friends have trusted,
by would-be infallible editors. There
Is no indication whatever of any failure
on their part in performing their re.
sponsible duties, and the fact that every
crisis in the presidents case has been
promptly met and passed and that his
condition is as satisfactory as could be
expected amid the dangers following his
wound, ought to silence the irresponsi
BILE editorial critics.

EA Washington correspondent says
that the officer in command of the mil
itary guard at the White House tells
him that during the night of the 10Th
inst, President Garfield was regarded
as an arttcuto morris, the Vice-Presi-
dent was summoned, and also justice
of the Supreme Court 10 administer the
official oath to him, and the members
of the Cabinet were all present until
morning. Whereupon lot of editors
are indignant and write heavy editor
ials condemning the physicians because
at this very time they were reporting
the president as getting along favora-
bly,. But now all the officials at the
White House pronounce the story as a
full nedged lie, made out of whole
cloth. Nevertheless many of the papers
continue to criticise as though they
knew more about the case than the
physicians on the spot.

II The blatherskite press is nov
gushing with sympathy for Conkling
OF course sort of sympathy is due t.
every man who makes a fool of him
self, but in Conkling's case there is mo-
much room for the article. lie has
bullied his friends and the party unit
he believed himself greater than the
party, and that he was an indispensa
BILE factor in politics. He undertook to
boss the president and the Senate, and
because they would not bend to his i'm.
perious demands, he deserted his post
and betrayed the senate to the Demo-
Gratis. The popular disgust, which had
long been gathering at his extraordi-
nary behavior, at once became intense,
and when he demanded a return of the
commission which he had thrown
away, and forced long and desperate
and costly fight in the legislature, and
endeavored to damage his party by
dallying with the Democrats to pre-
vent an election at the session, it was
felt that his selfishness and arrogance
had carried him beyond forgiveness.
He has made himself an object of
scorn, hatred and contempt, which it
will take years of decent behavior to
remove.
Conkling has been an enormous fail
ure. Possessed of intellect and pow
erfnl personality such as is rare among
men, he might have been one of the
greatest and most masterful statesmen
In history. But his career as con-
gresham and senator has been almost
barren. of any valuable work for his
country. In all of the great questions
that have agitated the nation since the
war, he has taken little part, and their
discussion and settlement has been left
to other men. He was capable of
mighty efforts, but when they were put
forth they were almost invariably to
preserve and increase the political as
cendancy of Roscoe Conkling in the
state of New York. lie seemed capa-
BILE of no self-sacrifice or magnanimity,
but in his overweening pride and sell
fishness he demanded of his adherents
everything for himself, giving nothing
In return. That he has fallen perma-
nently is not probable, but he will
have 10 be changed man ever to re-
gain the position he has lost.

any pocket except one of leather. Those
pockets which are lined with cloth. cot

fluff, which enters most Watch Gases and
makes Its way to the delicate parts of
the watch. See that the pocket is turned
and cleaned often, and take an old linen
handkerchief and wipe carefully all the
dust from under the backs, bezel and
cap OF the case. But above all you must
be sure that the Case fits firmly and to be
sure of this, select one where the parts
lcenter, backs, cap, &c. are each made
from one piece of metal.
The JAMES BOSS PATENT STrF-

Watch Case become stronger and fit more

to turn and form three pieces of metal
