Death of Paul DILLINGHAM;.

The venerable Ex-Governor Paul
Dillingham; died at his home in
Waterbury Monday morning. He
had been in delicate health for the
past few months and he died literal
ly of old age, having lacked only p
few days of being 90 years old. The
funeral was held on Wednesday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock.
Paul Dillingham;, Jr., was born at
Shutesbury, Mass, Aug. 10, 1899.
In 1905, his parents, with eight chill
dren, moved to a farm in Waterbury,
Vt. When a mere youth, Paul, Jr.,
entered the law office of Dan Carpen-
ter, a well known lawyer and once
Judge of Washington County. He
was admitted to the Washington
County Bar in 1928. For several
years he devoted his whole time to
the practice of law, and formed a
partnership with his former teacher.
In 1888 Mr.. Dillingham; was elected
representative to the legislature. He
was reelected five times. From 1885
to 1887 he held the office of states
attorney, and made an excellent
prosecuting officer. In 1871 he was
a member of the State senate, and
was reelected in 1861. In 1913 his
ability was recognized in other parts
of his adopted state, and he was cho-
sen member of congress, and held
his seat until 1S47.
After returning from congress Mr..
Dillingham; spent most of his time in
his law office until 1862, when hewas
still further honored by being given
the office of Acknowledgements and
president of the state senate. In
1865 he was the republican candi-
date for governor and was elected
by an overwhelming vote.
He remained in the executive chair
until 1867, when he withdrew from
public life, having made a record
never surpassed by that of any citi-
zen of Vermont.
1t is readily admitted by all impair
tial critics that Mr.. Dillingham; has
been the equal of any lawyer this
state has yet produced. Scores OF
people have Travelled many miles to
hear him make an argument before a
Jury. The jury was to him an in
strument " easier to be played upon
than pipe
Besides holding political offices,
Mr.. Dillingham; was for many years
president of the Waterbury National
Bank, but resigned the position in
January, 1889.
In early life he married Sara Car
penter the eldest daughter of his law
partner. She died in 1881, and her
sister, Julia, next became his wife,
by whom he had seven children, four
sons and three daughters. One of
the sons, Edwin, captain of the 10th
Vermont, was killed in the battle of
the Wilderness, two others, Charles
and Frank are engaged in railroad
business in the far West and one Will
liam P. a prominent lawyer, who
was governor of the State in 1883
was with him when he died. One of
his daughters married Hon. Matt
Carpenter, late United States Senator
from Wisconsin, and Mrs. Carpenter
now lives in Milwaukee.
The deceased was for many years
one of the most active member OF
the N. E. church in Central Vermont
and he contributed literally of his
means for the support of the Christ
ian object. He acquired a comfort
able competency and was for many
years president of the local bank.
His was a beautiful old age and he
passed away blessed of all who knew
him.

TENNESSEE STRIKE ENDED.
Miners Proposition Accepted by Il

Miners Proposition Accepted by the
Governor and Troops Return Home.
KNOXVILLE, Tom, July 25-The COM
mittee representing the miners presented
the following proposition to Governor
Buchanan, AID it was accepted:
The status quo to be restored and the guards
and convicts not to he molested on their return
to the mines, for we will use all ordinary eau
ton and honorable means to prevent any in
reference with them. Reposing confidence in
our governor, and believing the general as
sembly when they meet in extra session will
give us the necessary relief from the oppres-
sion that now hangs over us, we will endeavor
to conduct ourselves law-abiding people so
as to maintain the confidence and sympathy
OF the public in tho future as well as in the
past.
This ends the trouble in the mining dis
tricts. The militia on College hill were
drawn up Mt dress parade at o'clock last
evening and orders read releasing them
from strict discipline. The orders were
received with tumultous cheering. The
fourteen companies left for their homes
this morning on special train. The con-
victs were removed to Briceville and Coal
Creek this morning. The miners commit
tee accompanied the guards and convicts
to guarantee protection when the train
arrives in Coal Creek.

Not a Pauper Country.

The recent census shows that the
ratio of almshouse paupers is now
one to every S57 inhabitants of the
to every 1853, showing a very graft
flying dimunition within the past ten
years. This too Notwithstanding the
fact tnat large numbers of foreigners
are coming to our shores every year,
many of whom are poor and igno-
rant of our industries, and who i'll
crease the number of those who are
Independent.
The United States has a total of
alms-house paupers in 1890 of 49,
O45. On the first of January of the
present year the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, with one
half the population of the United
States, had thirteen times as many
pauper poor, or 37,74O,273, or one
to every 80 persons.
There is no other country in the
wide world where the masses of the
people are so well cared for, where
they are so universally happy and
prosperous as in the United States.
Yet in spite of this demonstrated fact
there are those who would have the
United States discard and trample
down this national policy of protec-
ton under which this benifcent re-
suit has been reached, and adopt
free trade policy instead, which shows
such harvest OF pauperism in those
nations 10 which it has
been tried Fortunately the Ameri-
can people can read and think, and
will not deliberately adopt any such
policy. They are wise
enough to learn by the experance of
others without butting their own
brains out while following the free
jrade chimera.

The Clay Center, Kansas, Times of July 16
has the following particulars of the death of
Joel Kinds -
Saturday evening about five O'Clock the
news was brought into town by the men
who had charge of a gravel train on the
Rock Island that they had run into a buggy
near Broughton and killed a man whose
name was Kinds, his body being thrown on
to car, where it then was. telephone
message quickly brought Sheriff Need to the
depot and he at once recognized the man as
Joel Kinds, a well-known and highly-respect-
ed farmer of Union township. The body was
at once removed to Wulpi & Co.'S undertake
ing rooms and the coroner telegraphed for.
On his arrival an inquest was held.
+. F. Kinds, a brother of the deceased, tes-
titled that his brother Joel had good eye
sight and hearing for n man of his age.
The fireman testified that at the time of
the accident the train was backing at the
rate of twelve or fifteen miles an hour; that
there was row OtiboX cars on side-track
which obscured theNview of the train from the
road.
The brakeman, Tho was riding on the rear
of the train, swore that he saw the approach
ing team and shouted to the man to stop,
but he evidently did not hear him, as he paid
no attention to the train until Just about the
time his buggy struck the railroad. Then
seeming to realize the iminent danger, he
drew up on his lines but it was too late
from under him and at the same time throw
ing him up high enough for the car to pass
under. He fell right at the brakeman's feet,
striking on lot of coal and crushing the
left side of his skull. He was also injured in
the abdomen. Mr.. Kinds never regained
consciousness and died in a few minutes.
The horses escaped unhgrt and ran home
with the neckyQke: The members of the fam
lily started back toward Bro4ghtan, but
soan learned from neighhQrs of the sad af-
fair.
The funeral occurred Monday at l p. m,
at Wakefield, and was probably the largest
ever held in that village. The stores and
bank closed during the funeral ceremonies as
mark of respect to the memory of one
they had known so long and favorably.
Joel Kinds was born in Vermont in 1888.
Was married in 1857 and was the father of
six children, four boys and two girls. Two
of the boys and one daughter are married.
He GaPe to Kansas in 1877 and has resided
here since, He was universally respected as
a straightforward and honest man, and in
his death the community loses a good cit
lzen.

The Parnellite defeat in County
Carlow shows that the Irish people
are not all ready to accept ParnelPs
marriage as a moral or political Gre
habilitation. :" There has been a great
deal of sentimental nonsense about
this marriage of Parnell. The idea
that a man who had betrayed his
friend in the most despicable manner
sunk his own morality to the very
and sacrificed the cause to
which he professed to be devoted,
could effect his rehabilitation" as
it has been politely called, by mar
riage with the associate of his infamy
is false morally and dangerous soci-
ally. Parnell must remain a fallen
leader if the morality of the English
people is to beupheld.

DOUBLE MURDERER.
Christie Warden May Have Been A1my's
Second Victim.


HANOVER, N. H., July 27-The authori-
ties have received letter from a women
in Springfield, Mass, which may prove the
most important clue thus for obtained in
relation to Almy's previous life and which
promises the most startling developments.
The writer, whose name is withheld for
the present for prudential reasons, skates
that she has picture of the mar which
answers entirely all the leading points in
the personal description of Almy, and
that the man whose picture she has muir
dered her daughter several years ago
1t need hardly be added that the officers
were astounded upon receipt of this letter.
and although they are entirely unac-
quainted with the woman and the terrible
charge made, yet they have directed that
the matter be vigorously investigated. If
the accusation should prove true, it will
Hnravel the crime, or one of the crimes,
which everyone who knew Amy believed
he was suffering from. His life in Hano-
yer, while an inmate of the Warden fam
lily, as has already been so we'll related, de-
veloped almost daily, on his part. what
was surely regarded as evidence that he
was fugitive from justice. The in vesti-

The convict labor system, as prac-
ticed in the southern states, notably
in Georgia, is disgrace to the Amer
lean people and a relic of bar
barism which could only be upheld
in regions where the old domineering
tyrannical spirit of the slaveocracy
still exists to a greater or less extent.
1t is hardly to be wondered at that
the self-respecting miners of Ten
nessee have at last risen in rebellion
against being associated with a sys-
TEN whose enormities might fairly
enlist the pen of a KEENAN,. Their
