DIR. w. A. JONES of Waitsiield died
at that place yesterday afternoon at
about four o'clock. Some two years
ago DR.. Jones was severely i'll with the
grip. He was left in condition that
caused his friends great anxiety, and
he was confined to his house for many
months. He had in a measure recov-
cred, and during the past year had at.
tended quite actively to his business
affairs. He suffered a relapse during
the early winter, and the end came as
stated above. DR.. Jones had twice
represented his town in the legislature
and had served the state one term in
the senate, his sickness in the summer
of 1890 compelling him to decline
second election. The value and i'm
portance of his legislative and other
public services, as we'll as the story of
his life, will be adequately told in our
next issue.

GOVERNOR FLOWER of New York
has signed the bill allowing newspapers
TO publish descriptions of electrocu-
tons. The probable result will be less
minute and sensational descriptions.
A MEMBER of the New York legisla.
ture has introduced bill making it a

he thinks the man can make the jump
more safely without parachute does
not appear. -
THE ESSer County Herald last week
volunteered the post-mortem informa-
tion that "Albert Victor, the heir pre-
sumptive ITO the British throne] is to
marry Princess Mary of Teck." AL
though Albert died several weeks ago,
the editor of the Herald is not insane.
He simply uses plate matter.
THE Washington Post alleges that
Minister Egan has made use of his po-
sition as representative of the United
States to obtain for his own son the OPP
porJunity of presenting claim of five
millions or more against the CHILEAN
government. The truth or falsehood
of this imputation should be ascer-
tanned, politics or no politics.
HON. EDWARD j. PHELPS of Bur-
lington, ex-minister to England, has
been appointed chief counsel to repre-
sent the United States before the board
of arbitration in the Behring sea con-
troversy. 1t is an excellent selection.
Mr.. Phelps is we'll informed on the
subject in issue, and has had large ex-
perience in conducting the American
side of the questions in dispute with
Great Britain.
The st JohnSbury Republican has
been booming" Governor Page fol-
reelection. Some of the state press
smiled, some became vexed, and the
rest looked on with compassion. The
Republican finished its self-imposed la.
Dor last week. The cause was letter
from Governor Page, in which he an
nounced that he is not candidate. The
Republican may now turn its attention
to booming the Sahara desert as a sum
mer watering place.
SOME misguided state paper took the
liberty of using the word "nee" il
speaking of Mary Howe-Lavin; anothe
paper criticised the expression; Their,
was adiscussion, and the result, dreaded
but expected, has materialized-the ed
itor of the Burlington Earth has en-
tered the controversy. Why, Ger
tainly nee is correct, jamaiS. If not
,odrum nichtF The ablative of tn
nominative necessarily drives the pro
noun into the conjunctive mood, mich
tcahr ? Why, any son of prope
noun would know that, NEST ce paS?'
