on the body OF Mrs. Ingoldsby, the old lady
found dead in her bed Wednesday even

held yesterday and showed conclusively
that she had been smothered to death.
There is no clew to the whereabouts of the
stranger, who applied for lodging at her
house on Tuesday evening. The police
are securing the city for hin, and if found
some light may be thrown on the mystery.
There can be no doubt that the deed was
done for money. Lut the muderer got very

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The American Min
lister, in a speech before the members OF
the Glasgow bar yesterday, said that moth
ing in the administration of justice OF
Great Britain was more excellent than the
prompt and effective manner in which the
laws were executed. But legal proceed
ings here, he thought, were too expensive.
Doubtless the two branches of the legal
profession in Great Britain were conspicu-
ously successful, but the blending of both
orders worked well in America and Cam
ada, and it should work equally we'll in
Great Britain.

The last 20 years had seen great progress
in temperance sentiment in the town and
county. Further brief remarks were
made by o. F. Comstock of Middlebury,
Rev. Mr.. Stebbins and Prof. Yager.
1t was voted, on motion of F. A. Bond
of Middlebury, that hereafter the presi-
dent, vice-presidents and secretary and
treasurer of the society be regarded as
members er oficio of the executive COM
mttee; also that the chairman of the
committee shall be chairman of the ex-
ecutive board, unless the board prefers
to choose another member to that office.
A collection was taken up. 1t amount
ed to $4.06.
A. p. Upper, Esq, spoke in advocacy
of the maintenance of the society. The
presiding officer believed the society
ought to nominate a States attorney as
well as commissioner. Rev. Mr.. Thomp-
son expressed his views at some length.
His leading idea was that attention should
be given to the enforcement of the law
and he said he was willing to go into the
work. He proposed the formation of a
law and order league for the business of
enforcing the law. Mrs. Smith doubted
the wisdom of Mr. Thompson's plan so
long as the men of the county elect such
officers as they do. Mr.. Tupper ex-
planned the workings of the law. He
moved, and it was voted, that the matter
of nominating county commissioner be
left to the executive committee. j. E.
Crane of Middlebury, Justus Cobb of
Middlebury, Mr.. Stewart, and others
spoke on various points. Prof. Wager
reported for the committee on resolu-
tions, and the report was accepted.
After remarks by Prof. Wager and
tions somewhat, these resolutions were
adopted:
Resolred, That in our judgment the uproot-
ing and overthrow of the liquor traffic has
become an overwhelming issue with the
American people.
Resolred, That we recognize the Importance
| OF contending with all our might in every pos
sible way with the gigantic drink evil.
Resolved, That in the judgment of this socie-
ty the most important local matter to be at
tended to at present is the arousing of public
sentiment to demand a faithful, persistent,
| unswerving execution OF the law.
Resolred That we hereby extend to the Ia
dies of the w. G. I. U. for the generous enter
tainment which we have received at their
hands. our most hearty thanks.
Mrs. II. HI. Bryant reported for the To-
cal w. c. L. L., to the effect that it has
over 40 members, holds frequent meet
ings, does charitable and other work and
is willing to do all in its power to help
the temperance work along.

SENATOR SHERMAN of Ohio, speaking
before the Home market club of Boston,
the other evening, very happily charac-
terizcd those who howl for foreign mar
kets. He said:
Sometimes, when hear intelligent and
able men, honorable men, rate so highly
this foreign market, as opposed to our
home market, wonder and am amazed
that they do not reflect upon the great
superiority of our home market. l can
excuse such professors of rhetoric, or of
what they call political economy, which
has no economy in it, as Mr.. Sumner and
Mr.. Perry of your own State, whose the
cries exclude love of country and rest on
ly upon the universal good of man. The
most distinguished professor of this
school of philosophy that l know of is
Mrs. Jellyby, who devoted herself to the
good of mankind, and especially of Afri-
ca, to the neglect of her house, her hus-
band and the little Jellybys. | am one
of those unchristian men who believe
the best we can do for mankind is to do
the best we can for our country. l sup
pose that in Congress, at least, we are to
legisate for the United States, and that
on the question of home market or for
eign market we are to be guided by the
interests of the people of the United
States.
