FOUNDER HAS GONE.
Sir Isaac Pitman, Who Made Stem
ography Practicable, Dead.

LONDON. Eng, Jan. 26-The recent
death is reported Of Sir Isaac Pitman. not as
most obituaries have il. the man who in
vented shorthand writing. but the man who
made il practicable. Sir Isaac Pitman was
born at TrOwbridge. Wiltshire. Jan. 4. 1913.
and educated at the grammar school in that
town. After having been clerk for some time
he was trained in the normal college OF the
British and Foreign school society in Lon
don. and was appointed master OF the Brit
ish school, Barton-On Humber in 1892 He
established the British school at Nooton-
under-Edge in 1896 and removed to Bath in
1889. His first treatise on shorthand. en-
titled" d"Stenographic Sound Hand. appeared
in 1887. and he became the inventor Of the
phonetic system of writing. to which he de-
voted his entire attention since ls43 in which
year the Phonetic society was formed.
His system Of photography or Writing
of Sound. appeared in lS40, and his"Phono-
graphic Reporters Companion" in 1858. The
Phonetic Institute at Bath is really pho
netic printing Office where Sir Isaac Pitman
edited and printed the Phonetic Jour
nal weekly. and Autographed the
shorthand supplement which accom-
panied it. This journal is printed
in phonetic type. except "a small portion
in ordinary type, which records the progress
of the writing and spelling reform Be-
sides printing his own instruction books for
teaching phonetic shorthand, Mr.. Pit
man issued a little library of books,
printed entirely in shorthand, ranging
from the Bible to "Rasselas.'
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1897-01-29

He was knighted in 1894. OF him the
London illustrated News said The knight
hood of Mr.. Isaac Pitman is a thoroughly de-
served recognition Of great services to the
mechanism for the circulation of ideas.
Pitman's system Of shorthand has. indeed
survived good many Of the ideas which it
had been the means OF imparting to the COM
munity.
Pitmau's system of shorthand is to be
found in every English-speakiLg country in
the world and his friends are many, both
personal us well as those who have benefited
by the work of his life.
There is no census of the number of pho
nographers in the world. but the sale OF the
different study books now averages about
$50. 900 year. The pitmau system no doubt
is the standard. About 96 percent of the
newspaper and law repOrter> abroad use it,
but in this country the percentage is not so
large. owing to the many accepted revisions
and improvements on the original system.
He began the work which made him IA
nous in 1897. His initiatory labor was the
publication of four-penny shorthand sys-
TEN. During the entire summer of that year
every leisure hour and even his holidays
were devoted to the preparation and perfec-
ton of his work. and Nov. ii it was placed
before the public.
Then came years OF quiet, dogged but at
the same time enthusiastic hard work
Mr.. Pitman often laboring from o'clock
in the morning until 10 at night. doing
the entire work of the Office even setting
up type. His great determination was
displayed when he came to the conclu-
sion that Intoxicating liquors were injurious
and decided to become an abstainer. His
mind made up, he quietly knocked the stop
per out of his beer barrel and calmly
atched the contents run in the sewer.

Gle says about Georgia: Georgia can
raise better hogs and cattle than the
West better turnips than Nova Scotia,
and at least equals Maryland in terra
pin and oysters. Her fish supply is
superb along the coast and in the
water courses of the inland. Experts
say that she has gold belt superior
to that of the Pacific States. Her
'possum and 'taters cannot be sur
passed. Her peaches do not challenge
those of California or Delaware, but
easily take first rank, and if her Indian
peach were revived, there would be no
kind of comparison. Texas raises
more cotton, but Texas is nowhere in
manufacture of the fabric in rivalry
with Georgia. We regret to say that
Georgia is delinquent in one thing
she apparently prefers to patronize
products away from home, when her
own home industries are just as good"

A SERIOUS MATTER.
New Hampshire Men Charged
With Grave Crime.
Alleged Spendthrift, Brother and
Postmaster Implicated.

INTERvALE. y. II. Jan. 2G-The arrest,
OF Postmaster Reuben NJ. Weeks and Her
bert S. Mudgett a well-known hotel keeper
at this place, has created a sensation
throughout this part of the country, where
both are well known. The arrests
were made at the instance of Post
office Inspector James Bullard of Bos-
ton, and the facts as alleged
are these Herbert S. Mudgett is Younger
brother of Frank Mudgett, both OF whom
have been engaged in the hotel business
here, succeeding their father some years
ago. Frank Mudgett is a spendthrift, a
drunkard, and was before his recent mar
riage to Miss Annie Glassett of Boston
married man. He is or was until recently an
inmate of the Forrest Glen Institute. He is
also the father of Miss Glassett's eighteen
months -old child.
Miss Glassett had frequently visited Frank
Mudgett at his hotel and last summer spent
five weeks there. On October "a, 1896. they
were married in Boston by a Justice of the
peace, Mr.. Mudgett returning at once to In
teryale and his newly welded wife to her
mothers home. They corresponded fire.
quently for some time, when the correspond
ence suddenly ceased.
Applying at the postofiice in South Bos-
ton. Miss Glassett or Mrs. Mudgett found
an order purporting to have been signed by
her, ordering all her mail to be sent to
Lower Bartlett. ~ II.
The postof1ice inspectors followed the
matter up. and it was found that Herbert
Mudgett was in connivance wi h the post
master, getting the mail at Lower Bartlett.
A decoy letter was forwarded and Frank
Mudgett and Inspector Bullurd-the latter
incognito--demanded it but were told no
letter SO addressed was in the office. Then
the Inspector revealed his identity, the letter
was forthcoming and the arrests followed
Herbert Mudgett is charged with forgery
aud tampering with the mails; Postmaster
Weeks with OBTAINING mail and with conniv-
anee and the charge of bigamy may perhaps
be pressed against Frank Mudgett. Miss
Giassett claims not to have known that
Mudgett was married.

A San Francisco carpenter who used
to be q miner has discovered in one of
the streets of that city vein of quartz
containing both gold and silver In
quantities that indicate the presence
of large deposit of rich ore. He re-
fuses to reveal the position OF this
ledge, because the only outcropplng
of it about which he knows is on mu-
nicipal property, and, as all the land
in the vicinity is covered with houses,
he does not see how he is going to
get any profit out of his find. He
has, however, obtained few spec1'
mems from the vein, and has had them
assaved, with the result OF showing
that the ore, if it runs as we'll, con-
tains $12. 40 in gold and So. 60 in sill
yer to the ton. The carpenter is try
inc to think out some method OF de.
riving advantage from his inconven-
ientlv situated mine, and meantime IS
worrying because people are walking
over it every day, and somebody with
more money than himself may notice
the quartz vein, buy the adjacent
property, and make a fortune. There
have been several other discoveries of
valuable ore within the limits of San
Francisco. but none SO rich as this
one seems to be, and in no case have
the difficulties Incidental to urban
mining been, overcome.

That New York City has dialect
peculiar to itself is something which
visitors from other parts of the coun-
try are quick to remark, Eugene FL.
Babbitt, of the Department of Ger
manic Languages of Columbia College
and Secretary of the American Dialect
Society, has been making study of
the language of New York, and has an
article on the subject in the current
number of the society's publication.
In his introduction he says: "The
fact is that New York City and vicinity
are and always have been something
distinct, not only from the rest of the
State, but the whole current of Anglo
Saxon traditions which has dominated
the foundation and continuance of the
American commonwealth.

1t has been demonstrated that the
man who has wheels in his head may
be cured by bicycling. 1t is strongly
recommended by DR.. Hammond, of
New York, the great insanity expert.
At the Michigan State Asylum for tie
Insane at Kalamazoo, instead of moping
in the house or taking forced exercise
around the grounds, the patients who
are considered fit for instruction are
taken on their wheels, weekly, for 70
ten mile ride in parties of from five to
eight, in charge of two attendants. A
plentiful lunch is taken along, and the
occasion becomes q picnic. Little
incidents which happen to the wheels
and require repairing are an unwonted
cause for thoughtfulness, and the
minds of the riders are filled with new
and healthful interests.

trict of London to do good to the
people by precept and example, said
recently that the denizens of the re-

him, but that obviously it sprang
chiefly from pity. "They looked up
on me-" he said, "as an idiot"
