A Diphtheria Scare.

There is no doubt but that diphtheria in
its worst form is very prevalent in many
cities and small towns. AT the same time
that fact is no reason for frightening people
out of their wits, with every new case Of
sore throat. Even liberated sore throat is
bad enough, and no person would have that
for fun. Yet hundreds OF persons are said
to have had diphtheria who only had a Sc

that often passes for dphtheretic is what
old people call quinsy. d" Putrid sore throat"

true, and explains why those troubles are so
prevalent this unusually soft, rainy winter ,
The air, in fact, is laden with poisonous va
pors, The first symptoms of true diph-
iberia are much like those of a heavy cold
on the lungs There is fever, some stupor,

pains are often felt in the neck glands just
below the ear. The tongue is coated the

History Repeats Itself.

EditorOf Wdtchmdn:-I notice a statement
going the rounds of the press that General
Harrison and Levi p Morton are to be in
augurated, dressed in clothes of home man

wish to inform the readers of the Wdtchmdn
that Benjamin Harrson's grand ather was
inaugurated president of the United States
in 1871, dressed in salt made of cloth
manufactured in Mortified and presented
to him by Colonel Charles Paine, who was
elected governor the following year. In
1872 Samuel Prentiss, United States senator,
resigned, in order to accept the office of
United States circuit Judge. Governor
Paine appointed Samuel &. Crafts to fill the
vacancy and presented the appontee with

Obituary..

FARR.-Died in Sheffield February o.,
1889, Benjamin A. Farr aged fifty-four
years. Mr.. Farr was born in Woodbury.,
where he spent the early part of his life,
and where, in 1854, he married Miss Louisa
Batchelder of that place. Hissdeath is only
the second break in large circle of eleven
children in his fathers family. His own
home was blessed with five children, all of
whom are still living. In 1865 he entered
the army, serving his country until the
close of the war. Five years since he settled
in Sheffield, Vt. Mr.. Farr was a thorough
Christian, a member and steward in the
Methodist church. Under all circum-
stances he was truly loyal to the church OF
his choice and to the Master whom he
served. Every one will testify to the purity
of his life and character, and the loss the
community sustains in his death.

A Little Boys Life Sentence.

A Frankfort KY, special to the Philadelphia
Press says: Sinnville Combs, probably the
youngest convict in any prison in the United
States, has served the first year Of life SEN
tence. When sent up from Breathit county last
July he was eleven years old and small for the
age. Prison life has improved him both
morally and physically. Young Combs killed
his two-ysar-old sister in a brutal manner The
two were in the house together alone. When
the little tot started to crawl across the floor
the boy picked up q stove lid and mashed her
skull with It, He then threw the body In the
fireplace. intending to burn it
This process of cremation was too slow. and
he pulled il out and carried it to q small stream
near the house. throwing IL in. When the little
ones body vas found, Sinnville admitted that
he killed her. On the stand, when asked WHY
he committed the crime, he stated that his
stepfathsr had told him to do il, and had PROM
ised him . new pair Of boots. There was no
other evidence against the stepfather, and as
the boy was confessed murderer his Testimony
could NOT have weight. There was little doubt
that young Combs had told the truth, yet there
ives no law to punish the father.
Many efforts hare been made to have the
governor pardon tho boy. When first arrested
the lad had never heard Of God, knew nothing
Of hsaven, and had never seen . school house.
He can now read and write aud talks like s very
bright intelligent boy. He does mot seem 70

Disciplining Father Lambert.

Bishop McQuaid Of Rochester, N. Y, has re-
turned from Rome, bringing with him the de-
cision Of the propaganda in the controversy he
had with the Rev. Louis A Lambert, pastor. of
Waterloo, N. Y, and author of the well-known
book. Notes on Ingersoll." The decision is
draw on the canonical standing of Father LAM
bert, and in regard to the disagreeable conse-
quences that arose ont of the dispute, the de-
cree is: /. That the Rev. Mr.. Lambert shall
publish his act Of submission to Bishop Nc
Quaid, retract all thing. written directly or in
directly against him, thus repairing the scandal
made, aud shall promise to keep and have
kept, as far as he is able, strict silence about
past troubles. a Bishop McQuaid, after said
act OF submission, shall provide the Rev. Mr..
Lambert suitable place, excluding always his
return to Waterloo. 3. The Rev. Mr., Lam.
berrs act Of submission and the bishops pro-
vision for his support must be submitted to the
approval Of the propaganda.
Father Lambert submits to this decision Of
the propaganda. 1t is likely that he will leave
me rochester diocese and there is some talk
OF his going on the staff OF the Catholic uniyer-
slty He Is man of much learning and ex-
emplary life and is well liked by all who know
him. The affair all grew out of an ANONYMOUS
letter on the Irish question that the bishop sent
to Rochester paper and which Father Lam
% peri answered ed IN very vigorous terms. The
bishop says the priest knew who wrote the let
Ter and that he was disrespectful. Father
Lambert says he only knew it as an ANONYMOUS
and, IN his view, false communication.

New York Will Not Do.
From the American Architect.

From the American Architect.
The project for a worlds fair in 1892 to cele-
brate the discovery Of America by Columbus is
getting good deal of discussion, partly from
the fact that the New York papers think that it
ought to be held in that city instead of in
Washington, a. was first proposed. There are,
OF course. advantages in having such AN affair
held In the largest city in the county, but the
experience of ten years ago. when abortive at
tsmpts were made to arrange for something of
tue same kind in New York, is not encourage
ing. Already dispute has been started over
the question whether the Central park shall be
used TO put the necessary buildings on, and the
conflict OF interests and prejudices, which
proved fatal to the scheme Of 1850, seems likely
to make it impossible to arrange for holding
the fair in New York, even if it were on the
whole. desirable to do SO. Concerning the i'm
propriety of running the Central PARK merely
for the sake OF securing an inexpensive site for
a six months fair there can hardly be two opin-
ions among people outside of the city.

A Famous Divorce Case Decided

Judge OBrien, OF the supreme court of Now
York, has handed down q remarkable opinion
in a somewhat famous divorce case, that of
Elise Eisler against her husband, Leopold
Eisler. The ground for the divorce was the
alleged infidelity of the husband, and the de-
Tense was that the wife had denied to her hus-
band admission to his own house. The evil
dence went to prove both sides OF the contro-
versy. Leopold had been poor sort Of hus-
band, associating with women of bad reputa-
ton. Mrs Eisler had been a poor soft of a
wife, shutting her husband out of the house as
punishment for his misdeeds. In refusing Mrs
Eisler divorce, Judge O'Brien said; '.As the
wife twice drove away her husband from his
own door on rainy winter night, she was. in
a measure. responsible for his conduct His
conduct is deserving Of the severest condemna-
ton. but as the specific act of unfaithfulness
il denied and Is not absolutely proven, think
the divorce should not be granted"
