Mr.. UTTER DECLINES.
The Secretary Of State Is Not q
Candidate
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
MIR. Pothier Talked of by Republicans
for Second Piace-The Democrats are
Floundering- Current Political small
Talk.

The news In the political field today is
the definite refusal of Secretary Utter to
consider the nomination for lieutenant
urged him in season and out to stand for
the nomination, knowing his popularity
in his party and the general respect en-
tertained for MIN by men OF all shades Of
political opinion.
At first Mr.. Utter yielded and said he
would accept, bat further consideration
Of his private affairs led yesterday after
noon TO his positive announcement that
he could not accept the nomi nation.
Who, then. is the strongest man TO
take the So cond place ? OF course Mr..
Pothier is still spoken Of, aud has nu-
merous friends but the leaders have also
looked up the Blackstone Valley, and
there have seea another possible candi-
date. That man is ex-Lleut.-Gov.
Stearns His is name to conjure with.
His strength is undoubted. HIS ability
is not only recognized, but has been tried,
and while his friends are not positive
that he could be induced TO accept. they
feel that he would not hesitate To
yield TO the demands of his party.
His supporters, wnen say the officers
Of the state, particularly the chief execu-
tive and his lieutenant, should be men OF
acknowledged business ability = men
whose character can not be questioned
ana they urge him as a man wno would
lie most able successor 10 Lieut.. Gov.
Bull and possibly even to Gov. Brown
himself In the future.
The Democratic Ticket.
The Democrats are still in the nebulous
state. They are skating all aroult the
state to find a man to take the place of
their defeated candidate of last year. Mr..
Wardwell. Some leaders are talking
Mayor Pond as a dark horse His name
was first suggested as an opponent to Mr..
Pothier, but his candidacy is backed by
further reasons. Woonsocket feels that IL
was not treated fairly last year in the
convention. Mr.. Pond should then have
been nominated. His magnanimous ac-
tion after the convention and bis work
for Mr.. Wardwell they say eutitles him
now To the precedence.
A leading Den. ocrat said this morning:
"WooDsocket has shown her confidence
IN Mr.. Pond repeatedly. He was. per-
haps, tie only Que who could have car
ried Woonsocket for the Office of mayor
against Mr.. Pothier. He has not only
the whole following of his party there
Uut the support of many of the independ-
ent Republicans"
"Ot course" said another, "Mr. Pond
has some enemies In the party, but SO
has every member OF the party who has
been before the public for any length of
time. Mr. Pond is "a man of decided
views, aud he has been identified with
various movements in politics for years.
1t is only the man who has done nothing
and who has no views of his own that is
universally liked and popular"

KEPT HER WORD.

to Suicide.


to Suicide.
NEW YORK, March 9.-The people Of
Wantagh, L. l., were shocked yesterday to
learn that Mrs. Eva Southerd, wife Of
Frederick Southerd, had committed sui
cide. Mrs. Southerd, who was 20 years
old, was one of the leading lights Of the
village. She belonged TO a reading circle
composed of number of ladies belonging
TO the church.
For some time the church has been pre-
pairing for an entertainment. Mrs. South
erd, who was one of the foremost workers
In the enterprise, was to have taken a
prominent part in the entertainment, and
on Monday evening attended a rehearsal
at the church. She went to the church
with her sister, Mrs. Cowles. The rehear-
sal lasted till 10 o'clock, and instead Of re-
turning home she went to her sisters
house and remained there all night.
Southerd takes little interest in social
events and church festivities. After CEN
suring his wife for remaining out all
night, he put on his hat and coat and
went out TO the street. When he returned
he again commenced scolding her for ne
glecting him FOR church reading circle,
and said that h1r place was at home in
stead Of with women who neglected their
homes
Mrs. Southerd cried piteously and ex-
claimed: For heavens sake, Fred, let this
drop! Your seedlings will drive me mad
If you say another word 1 will shoot my
selfr' These words were no sooner spoken
than she reached TO q drawer, and taking
out revolver placed it to her temple and
fred the shot. She fell to the floor dead.

SCHOONER BUCHANAN
Said To he at HaIifax--No Fears Yet for
Her Safety.

Her Safety.
The crew Of the Triton stated today
that the schooner Oracle ID. Buchanan,
about whom some anxiety has been ex-
pressed, is reported as lying in port at
Halifax. No definite information could
be obtained as 10 her condition, but the
natural inference is that the vessel Is In
good shape IL she has made that port.
Whether this report be true or other
wise there is really little occasion for
She left port in the very best condition,
is superbiy manned, and is commanded
by one OF the most efficient and trust
worthy captains ou the coast The fact
of her non arrival at the port to which
she was bound is not remarkable as she
is only few days overdue and the un-
favorable weather Of che past fortnight
might easily have DELAYED her without
rendering her any serious damage. Very
few vessels have mad, their ports on
schedule time this winter. The owners
Of the Buchanan have not as yet man
ifes'ed any anxiety on her account and
believe her to be safe

Poorly Paid.

Prof. Levers said rather good
thing before the Teachers Institute
when he remarked that lady teach
er was like a silver dollar, worth
really 100 cents, but paid at the rate
of 60 or 20 cents.
No class of people really assis t
more to lay the foundations Of a
State than the teachers.
Illiteracy means crime, idlen ess,
and a subsequent expense to the
State in the main tenance and care of
criminals and paupers,
Education in this generation saves
an amount beyond estimation to flu
ture generations and the country
never loses anything in paying good
teachers good salaries.
