Chief Justice Fuller has just pur-

one of the old landmarks of the capital.
1t stands at Eighteenth and f streets,
in that section of the city largely given
over to the old residents, and is called
the Carroll mansion" In the neigh

of Gen. Miles, Secretary Herbert, and

The Carroll mansion was built in 1880
by gentleman named Ringgold and
was purchased later by Mr.. William
Thomas Carroll, at that time clerk of
the supreme court. This gentleman
was a nephew of old Daniel Carroll, OF
Duddington. Mrs. Carroll, widow of
William Thomas Carroll, lived in this
house for many years and did not die
till few months ago. Belonging to
the Carroll family of Maryland, a fam

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness. and that
is BY constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its

stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are

SHOULD THEY FIGHTs
Not England and the United
States.
But Children Of All Ages and Conditions.
Timely Rsinforcements In the
Battle for Existence.

Timely Rsinforcements In the
Battle for Existence.
Perhaps you have an answer for us
to this question all ready. And per-
haps we may disagree with you.
Listen to our side of the story. Is 1t
not terrible warfare which sweeps
from the face of the earth one-third of
all children under five years Of agep
Yet this is the history Of the great
struggle In which we are all engaged
the battle Of life. Some children yield
at the first approach Of disease, while
others make grand struggle for exist
ence. In this sense, then, we are all
agreed that children should be good
fighters. They can best fight disease
when they are hearty and strong.
We do not mean simply when they are
fat. Fat is not muscle. They need
strong bones, sound nerves and firm
muscles The natural food for all in
fants is milk. The fat of this food,
the cream, exists in the milk as minute
globules, resembling in this respect
the minute globules of fat found In
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites. There is also min
eral matter in milk, and It is in Scott's
Emulsion as well. This preparation
looks like milk, and children soon be-
come fond of it. So many infants and
young children do not appear to derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak, do not in
crease in weight or height. They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and yet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have. They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There are remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change.
For this reason they are called "alter-
atives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen the
nervous system, which is the great
seat of power. The poorly nournished
body calls for fatty food, such as the
fat of cod-liver oil. These are the
reasons why Scott's Emulsion has
proved so valuable to children. 1t re-
stores healthy action. 1t feeds. 1t
nourishes. Itsupplies needed material
to the growing body. We cannot state
too strongly tho Importance of these
few early years to future health and
happiness. Children do not seem to
bear raw cod-liver oil well. 1t is SC
difficult to digest. But the oil in
Scott's Emulsion has already beer
digested, and is, therefore, in condi
ton to render prompt aid.
Scott's Emulsion contains more PURE
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any Other
emulsion in the world, that will stane
the test of time as being perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor

G. G. Benedict of Burlington, the

Mr.. Benjamin Bridegroom Harrison
finds time to indulge in numerous
chuckles as he observes the growing
heat Of the fight between the Mckinley
and Reed republicans.
The most favorable estimate yet made
by disinterested editor gives McKin-
ley 1893 votes on the first ballot of the
St. Louis convention, which will be 62
short of the number needed to nomi-
nate. The same authority assigns 353
votes to the other five candidates, and
puts 1853 in the doubtful column.
The member of Congress who can be
frightened out of doing his duty by a
cry of 'jingoism" ought not to be in
the next Congress,

The body of Joseph Wade of Poult,
ney, who has been missing for three
months, was found Friday afternoon on
the Pontney side Of the Poultney river
on Rodney Rays land, back of the
house formerly occupied by Q. j.
Kellogg, in the town of Hampton, N.
Y.
Joseph Wade was last seen Christ
mas morning. II is supposed that he
lost his way while crossing the flats,
and was frozen to death. At high
water the body was probably carried
down the river. The body was found
by John Grant of Castleton while hunt
ing ducks. Undertaken Carrigan OF
Poultney and Selectman Herrick were
notified, and the body was taken to
Poultney. Drs. Ellis and McGraw
conducted the postmortem examination.
Mr.. Wade was 20 years of age, and
leaves two daughters and one son.

The Great Bos. Of I'LL Bosses.

Political bosses in these latter days
seem to be indigenous TO American
soil. They lexist everywhere. Ver-
mont, whose political atmosphere is
as clear as aay state in the Union, is
not without them, We have the
town bosses, the county bosses and
the state bosses. And SO il goes all
over the Union neither party is ex-
empt from this influence and both
suffer thereby. Just now the Repub-
licans, being in the ascendant, are
the greatest sufferers and if they are
not badly punished ain the state of
New York it will be because right
eousness has ceased to exist and JUS
tice has fed to more congenial chimes.
One has but to read the Republican
dailies of New York city TO be con-
WINGED that Thomas G.. Plat carries
the party in his vest pocket. 1t
would seem that he had foreclosed a
blanket mortgage and come into pos
session of the entire property from
governor and Legislature down to the
smallest municipality. From Rouse's
Point to Manhattan, from Champlain
to Erie be is "lord of all he surveys"
He is not only consulted by party
leaders but by legislative and execu.
tive officers, both state and city. The
Governor consuls him; the speaker
of the assembly seeks his advice and
the Mayors Of the big municipalities
hearken to his voice. Nothing car
pass the legislature without he wills
it and the Governor can sign no bill
without his consent. Take the fol
lowing as sample of what one car
daily read:
The New York Advertiser, s
staunch Republican daily, in discuss
ing the fight between Roosevelt anG
commissioner Parker and chef Con.
lin and stating that the latter hac
hoped for legislation that would
strengthen their hands, says:
"This it was declared Commission.
er Parker and Chief Conlin had con.
fdcntly hoped for, basing their con
fidence and their hopes on the alleged
hostility between ex-senator Plat
and President Roosevelt.
But alas for the uncertainties OIL
politics and politicians. The hostili
ty between ex-senator Platt anC
President Roosevelt, it is declared
is no more. The twain met at thu
Fifth Avenue Hotel on Wednesda,
and as result the legislation tina
President Roosevelt and his col
leagues want will soon be theirs, ant
Chief Conlin and Mr.. Parker will
have no part in H." This article wa
headed in big display type, "Parke
loses" "Rosevelt wins in the strug
gle with Chief Conlin." "Interview
ed Mr.. Platt."
Isn't this humiliating +? Can an
party, be it ever SO great Or howeve
just its cause may be, long surviv
such bossism
And this man is delegate to til
Republican National Convention
He carries with him the large vote Q
the great state of New York to b
voted by him-dickered and trade
at his own sweet will and for his in
dividual benefit and glory.
What blessing it will be if Nc
Kinley or any other man shall 60 in
to the convention with votes enoug
to nominate without Tom Platt's de-
egates.
