Bayou state and a menace to public
safety. proved a growing plant, and the
strength of public opinion is grandly
shown in the results of battle against
the tremendous advantages of purchased
legislation and purchased press. The
unconditional surrender to moral demand
is due to these early agitaLors to whom
be all honor and praise.
The atmosphere in that section is still
smoky, and it is curious wreck which
the thoughtful observer notes. A split
in the Democracy of Louisiana to the
extent of two separate conventions is
Indicative of the bitterness of the strife.
And there have not been wanting news
papers which openly supported the lot
terry, or legislators who were for sale.
There is even now among the anti-lottery
adherents an uneasy, suspicious feeling
that Mr.. Morris letter is too smooth to
be honest, and subterfuge is feared, but
we predict that the coming election will
clear away the clouds and that out of all
the dishonor, disgrace and default of
character which the lottery has caused,
will follow better state of affairs on
the conclusion of its active ops ration.

GOVERNOR PAGES LETTER.

The St. Johnsbury Republican pub.
lished last week letter hich answered
inquiries by that paper concerning his
position on the approaching state cam
paign, and that letter definitely ends the
gubernatorial question so far as he is
concerned. 1t follows:
HYDEPARK, January 80, 1892.
l presume no man appreciates more keenly
than myself the numerous evidences of conf.
dence and respect which the press of Vermont
have been pleased to manifest toward me on oft
rep ated occasions during the past year. They
have not only criticised my shortcomings with
great charity, but they have sustained and ap.
plauded most generously whatever have done
that has merited their approval. But those who
know the sacrifice have been obliged to make
in my private business to the end that my admin
istration might be businesslike, need not be told
that have no wish to carry the burdens beyond
the limit of my present term But this is not all.
My wife is in slender health and upon her the
responsibilities of educating and caring for the
children have come with double weight since my
incrmbency Of the executive office. Can you for
one moment doubt my sincerity when assure
you that both Mrs Page and myself look for
W"iu w NuC VI OIuClal EDOrb
with degree of relief which only those can ap-
preciate who have withstood the strain which
breaks the bow believe one Of the happiest
hours In my own and my wife's life will be that
In which l surrender the reins of government to
- successor, and those who harbor the slightest
suspicion that have any further political bees
buzzing around my bonnet do me great wrong.
My earnest prayer is that my administration Of
Vermont's affairs may be so far free from great
mistakes that may not bring stain upon her
fair escutcheon If for two years shall be able
to do this shall be content without coveting the
dangerous experiment of second trial. With
kindest personal regards, am,
Cordially yours,
CARROLL S. PAGE.
There are very many voters in Ver-
mont who, recognizing the excellent
record now being concluded by Governor
Page, would have gladly approved his
denomination. He has proved himself
equal to the emergencies of his high
Office, and his term of service has been
marked by profit to the state. His de-
cision is given with directness which
might have been expected from the man.

THE DEATH CRY OF THE LOTTERY

While the decision of the supreme
court of the United States against the
Louisiana lottery is doubtless the direct
cause OF its Improvement in morals (?)
the prime credit of the victory in the
great battle belongs to those citizens of
Louisiana who have spared neither
money nor work in an anti-lottery cam
paign which has been waged for about
three years with growing force. The
opposition, first finding place in the
minds of few who saw in the gigantic
gambling monopoly, disgrace to the

All uncertainty as to Secretary

various reasons he would refuse to be a
candidate for the presidency, and all
denials of these rumors by his friends,
were on Saturday settled plainly,
modestly and unequivocally, by the
letter which follows:

season.
To those who have rendered me their sn2pc..
owe sincere thanks, and am most grateful for
their confidence. They will, am sure, make
earnest effort in the approaching contest, which
is rendered specially important by reason of the
industrial and financial policies of the govern
ment being at stake. The popular decision on
these issues is Of great moment, and will be Of
far reaching consequences.

Sndden Death in London of the Emperor
Frederick's Physician.

Fredericks Physician.
Morell Mackenzie, so widely known ss
the physician of the late Emperor
Frederick, is a complete surprise to the
public. He was born at Leystone.
Essex, in 1897, and was educated at the
London Hospital Medical college and
the Paris and Vienna universities. He
founded the hospital for diseases of the
throat in London in 1863. and at about
the same time obtained the Jacksonian
prize from the Roy College of Sur
gecns for his essay on diseases of the
larynX. Somewhat later he was elected
assistant physician to the London hos
pital. at which he subsequently became
full physician and lecturer on diseases
Of the throat. Dr.. Mackenzie was also
member of medical societies in many
foreign countries and The author of
numerous works on diseases of the throat.
1t was as the cOnfidante and physician of
Emperor Frederick, whose life he pro-
longed sufficiently to allow him reign of
80 days, that DIR. Mackenzie rose to the
zenith of his reputation. The authentic
history of the court intrigue connected
ith this fearful three months, and the
war between the Englishman against the
German doctors will doubtless never be
written. Sir Morell, who was knighted
for his services by the queen, insisted in
the book which he rote on the subject.
that the emperors death was caused by
surgical wound infiic ed by DR.. Berg
mauC. Since that time he has basked in
the sunshine of royal favor, Indifferent
to the shafts hurled at him by less fortu-
nate brethren in the profession. His
death at 30 is real loss to the eau e
of medical science and was caused BY
bronchitis resulting in pm. umonia.

does the Bellows Falls Times fear in dis

Nothing whatever, dear Journal. Our
reasons have been fully given, and we
believe are good ones.
Business men note the efforts of the
Democratic party to carry through some
sort of free silver legislation with COM
placency which would not exist if it
were not for the surety of Harrisonian
veto in case of any such emergency.
The burning of Hotel Royal, New
York fire trap, and the loss of nearly an
hundred lives, constitutes the most
shocking intelligence of the week. When
will New York pay some sort of after
ton to the safety Of her pubic buildings?

AN HISTORIC CURio.
The Attempted Suicide of Napoleon L. Al
Fontnfncbleau.


The Attempted Suicide of Napoleon I. at
Fontnfnebleau.
1t is not, perhaps, without interest at
this moment, when President Carnot
establishes his residence in the palace
of Fontaine bleau, to recall ono Of the
most curious Affairs of history attached
to this famous house.
1t was during the night of April 10,
1914. Already the allies occupied Paris.
Napoleon, giving away on all sides
under the formidable pressure of the
enemy, took refuge at Fontainebleau,
not knowing to what extremity to re-
sort, and, on account Of the despair of
the master, the chateau was plunged
into gloomy silence. Suddenly, in the
middle of the night, the long corridors
of the palace were all animation. The
domestics OF the chateau were ascend
ing and descending, the lights of the
departments were all lighted, the
Wallets were on the "qui vive."
One knocked at the door of the room
of Baron Yvan, surgeon of the en-
peror; one awoke the grand marshal,
Bertrand; one called the Duke de
Vicence; one ran to seek the Duke de
Bassano, who dwelt at the chancery.
All came and were admitted successive
ly into the bedroom of the emperor.
Groans and sobs escaped from the room
and echoed along the gallery.
Finally DR.. IVAN came out, descended
precipitately into the court, mounted a
horse which was fastened to post and
galloped off.
What drama has just taken place?
The following is the report of an
eyewitness:
"At the epoch of the retreat from
Moscow Napoleon had procured in case
of accident, the means of not falling
alive into the hands of the enemy.
Surgeon Yvan had put up for him a
package of opium, which he wore op
his neck when in danger; since thep
he had kept it in secret drawer of his
cabinet. That night it seemed to him
no other source was left. The valet de
chambre, who slept behind his half
opened door, heard him rise, and heard
him stir something in glass of water
drink, then lie down again. Soon pain
wrung from Napoleon the confession
of his approaching end. 1t was then he
called the favorites of the court. Yvan,
learning what had just happened, and
hearing Napoleon complain that the
action of the poison was not prompt
enough, lost his head and fed quickly
from Fontainebleau. A long drowsi.
ness followed, and after heavy sweat
the pain ceased and the frightful symp-
toms died away. Whether the dose
was insufficient or time had weakened
the poison is unknown. Napoleon, as.
tonished at finding himself living, said
God does not wish it., and resigned
himself to his destiny. This anecdote.
related by Baron Fain, secretary OF
the emperor, merits being bettey
known. "-Boston Traveller.
