DEATH OF GOVERNOR COTTON.

Ex-Gov. Eben Pomeroy Cotton died
at his residence in Irasburgh early
Tuesday morning, Sept. 10. Mr.. Col
ton had for 10 years been great SUI
ferer from diabetes, which terminated
in dropsy. During the last six months
he has been unable to work.
He was a man of strong will power
and maintained a heroic struggle
against the grim destroyer until the
last, attending to his business regular
ly, and, until three days before his
death he wound his own watch and
made entries in his diary daily.
He was the third son of John and
Phoebe (Morey) Cotton of West Fair
lee, VT, where he was born FEB. II,
1928. With his fathers family he
came to Irasburgh in March, 1871, and
with the exception of ten years spent
at Norwood, n. Y, in the lumber bus
mess, has lived in this town almost
continually. He was for some years
engaged in the manufacture Of lum
Der in Irasburgh, and did quite an
amount of building, but of late has
given more attention to farming.
In early life his opportunities for
obtaining an education were limited,
but natural taste for study and
keen observation, backed by an in
domitable energy enabled him to over
come that obstacle and he succeeded
in becoming what he really was-a
self made man. He was deeply in
terested in geology and had a collec-
ton we'll worthy of examination.
In politics, he was a wing prior to
the formation of the Republican par
ty, but since 1854 has been republic
an. He represented the town of Iras-
burgh in the Vermont legislature in
1859, 1860 and 1876; was a senator
from Orleans county in 1870 and 1872,
and was elected Lieut.. Governor in
1878. His legislative career was one
honorable to himself, his town and
his county, and he received merited
recognition in his election to the lieu
tenant governorship.
He was always closely Identified
with the interests of his town and an
active worker in the repeated strug-
giles to retain the county shire.
Gov. Cotton was for some years
Master of the State Grange, Patrons
of Husbandry, and member of the
Vermont Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution. Though not
regular attendant, he was a member
and Past Master of Genital Lodge, No.
81. F. & A. NJ. About twenty five of
his fellow Masons united in a Masonic
burial service at the cemetery under
the leadership of Mr.. E. B. True of
Newport.
March 2, 1854, he married Almira, A.,
daughter of Levi and Achsah (Ains-
worth Bailey, of Irasburgh. From
this union were born four children,
but two of whom survive their father.
By his death the town loses an in
fuential and prominent citizen. The
bereaved family have the sympathy
of the entire immunity in their deep
affection.

There is truth at the bottom of all
actual war, to postpone government
work to more clamorous employers,
and it is not right or just that such
should sbe 1.-THE case. Still, it will be
hard to make the public believe that
this was the sole reason of this order.
However, whether it was the sole
reason of not, the order was one
which it was eminently proper to
make.

The formation of "The Greater Re-
public of Central America" compris-
ing the three states of San Salvador,
Nicaragua and Honduras, is long
step toward the pacification of Cen
trail America, and it's union under
strong central government. If the
new league can be successfully main
tanned, the other states of Guatemala
and Costa Rica will not be long in
joining it. AS the former is much the
largest and most populous of the five
states, its adhesion will be particular
ly welcomed. The objects which rem
der combination desirable are two
fold, first the establishment of inter
nal peace and prosperity, and second
a mutual guarantee against foreign
attacks. The English demonstration
at Corinto last spring, fastened this
movement. which has been talked
about for years. It will be remember
ed that Honduras was then spoken of
as being likely to be called on to re-
pay money advanced by British capt.
talists. In the constitution of the new
league provision is made for arbitra-
ton, the preference to be given the
United States. This proof of conf
dence will be appreciated, and it is to
be hoped this country will be able to
compose the domestic quarrels of the
new republic and secure it from for
eign aggression.

One of the papers read before the
annual meeting of the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of Sci
ences enlarged on the wonders of
modern engineering. Coal was refer
red to as fossil, a preserved plant
tissue, yet a man can mine enough of
it in a day to obtain 1913 horse power
for ten hours, equivalent to the ply
steal labor of 1900 men. In Gre 1t
Britain coal does the work of 100, 000,
600 men. By improved mechanical
appliances the American farmer rails
es as much grain as three in England,
four in France, five in Germany and
six in Austria. In the United States
one man can feed 25O, whereas in Eu
rope one man feeds only thirty per-
sons. The speaker predicted that in
the end the advance of engineering
will obliterate the line between capt.
tai and laborin a manner satisfactory
to all concerned Exchange.

Not a little curiosity has been ex-
cited by the report that Secretary
Herbert mad ordered that all despatch
be used IN pushing work on new was
vessels. He admits the truth of the
report, but says it is merely in the line
of applying the same rules to govern
ment work which are applied to work
for private parties. That it has been
the practice, to lay aside government
work for other that was urgent,
among contractors, and that in the
government yards constructive work
was often made to wait on repairs.

The neglect of Indian Territory af-
fairs by the general government has
led to a most complicated condition
of affairs in that Territory. Some
thousands of white people who have
made their home among the five civ
ilized tribes, going into business and
building up towns, have discovered
that they have no legal title to the
property they have created, and are
unable to claim any protection for
life or school facilities for their chill
dren. Then some few Indians have
appropriated more than their share of
the tribal lands, and are growing rich
at the expense of the rest of the
tribes. The Indian commission is find
ing it no easy task to right these
wrongs, and it is not likely that new
legislation will have to be had at the
hands of congress.

THE SERUM CURE FOR
DIPHTHERIA.
make.

Prof. Biggs of the archaeological
laboratory of the New York health
department has just returned from
Europe, where he attented the con-
gress of the British Institute of Public
Health. He says that the consensus
of opinion among the eminent phys
icians in attendance at the meeting
who had devoted much time to the
practical observation of the treatment
of diphtheria by anti toxin, that the
experimental stage had long since
passed, and that the remedy had prov
ed it's claim to be far above all other
remedies for the cure of diphtheria,
and that no physician would be justi-
fed in neglecting to resort to this
treatment in any case of diphtheria
that he is called upon to attend.
From Munich came the report that
since the beginning of the serum
treatment the mortality had been re
duced to III per cent. considerably
more than one half when compared
with the best years. Prof Baginsky
of the University of Berlin said that
during the last year he had treated
$50 diphtheria patients with serum.
Previous to the introduction of this
form of treatment the mortality dur
ing four years averaged Al per cent,
but by the serum treatment it had
been reduced to 1916 per cent.

military Commander to the Chief of All
the Police.
The following from military
headquarters was received by Mar
shall Brown today, under date of
28th inst:
Mr.. A. NJ. Brown,
Marshal Republic Of Hawaii.
DEAR SIR:-I take much pleas
sure in acknowledging the services
rendered to the First Regiment, N.
G. H., by the police escort under
Capt. Parker, aud the mounted
force under Capt. Cook, on the &C.
casion of the parade and review on
the morning Of the 2Sth inst.
Their steadiness and soldierly
appearance and discipline did not
escape my observation, and they
rendered me valuable aid by the
prompt and orderly manner in
which they took possession Of the
parade ground, and kept it clear,
for a special function at the end Of
the review.
The mounted reserve under Cap
tain Carter, is body of young men
whose services in time of need
would be Of immense value: they
are splendid horsemen, well
mounted and armed, and would
surely give a good account of them
selves.
Congratulating you on the force,
l am

Is what Kate Field said of Tur
STARS dinner TO ncwsboys. The
affair was one Of the features Of the
day. 1t held It's own well as an
event with the military display aud
the football game.
Atm o'clock the boys began to
gather at THE STAR Office on Fort
Street. They put IN the time in
their usual frisky manner till 1880,
when Manager Hogs, Emil Ber-
hndt and Will Smithies took charge
of them. The boys were lined up
in column Of twos and marched
to Loves Bakery. There were
over sixty Of them aud there
was seat and plate and
dishes and knife and fork for each.
Under the direction Of Will Feiter
the service was prompt aud salts
factory. The boys were pretty
hungry when they began, and for
about five minutes were compare
lively quiet Then the hum Of
conversation was like drum corps
music for volume. Each lad was
filledup with turkey, pig and trim
mings. Quite a lot Of them took
double doses, but there was more
than enough. Finally they declared
they could eat no more and IN
about ten minutes after admitted
inability to drink further Of soda
water and root beer. Candy was
was then distributed and some Of
them had such blunted appetiies
that they didn't open the boxes for
an hour or more The room with
its happy, chattering crowd, was
an interesting place. The solicitude
Of the little pake for his little broth
er was but one OF a score Of Incl
dents showing characteristics Of the
boys.
Dinner over, the procession re-
turned to The STAB Office. One
of the Trans big BUSES. sent by
Signor Canavarro, was on hand as
transportation to the football game.
After the tickets supplied by p. c.
Jones were distributed, Bruce War
ing, the realty man, came along
and shouted above the din
that the boys were not
making enough noise. He had a
big bundle along and opening 1t
gave each boy a tin horn. Then
bedlam broke loose and Waring said
it was Just the thing for a football
game. After a drive around town
the boys were taken to the grounds,
where they succeeded admirably in
making their presence known.
They had a Jolly good time and
made some more noise on the way
back. Today they have been
rather quiet gang. The boys have
been profuse in thanks to their
friends. Lem Ables counted him
self in with the lads by sending
great supply of ice for their dinner.
