Although the election of the ma
iority of the Union ticket was se-
cured by the support of very un-
desirable element in the commun-
ity, the town is nevertheless to be
congratulated. upon the fact that
the new board must be vast i'm
provement upon the retiring one.
While we have disagreed with the
policy or what is presumed to be
the policy of Mr., Mcclure and his
colleagues, we have not failed to
recognize their possession of intel
ligence and considerable exper-
i1nce, We trust that they will
surprise their late opponents by
their exercise of the power be
slowed upon them.

WOMEN IN TIE PROFESSIONS.

They Have Done Good. Honest and Com.
petcnt Work.
The number OF college women who
have taken up medicine Is considerable
some Of them no doubt from real
love OF science and some for love of
a career. says the Philadelphia Times.
While their work has been able and
their success undoubted, 1t is just to
say that they have not contributed Or
iginally to medical scienca. There are
few women collegians in law, in lit
erature, In the pulpit and in other
professions and their helpfulness and
enthusiasm have been especially no,
ticeable in educatiooal and phllan-
thropic work. In all these fields of use
fulness the work OF college women,
taken by and large" has been good,
honest, competent work. about like
that of the average Industrious man,
but 1T has been derivative, not crea-
tive; complemental. not brilliant, Of
fering little opportunity for sex csle-
bration on the part of those enthus-
lasts who believe that women have
needed only a diplom. for conquering
all the world that men have left un-
con nluered. Hundreds of eollege-bred
women, however, have been, and are.
capably and efficiently engaged In
teaching and few have gained GER
tain distinction as presidents and pro-
fessors In colleges for women, but no
great and original educator has come
from among them. Occasionally
determined young graduate gets foot
hold in a newspaper office and usually
keeps 1t with credit to herself and her
higher education. yet the few women
editors of eminence have not been col
lege bred and there is nothing to be
gained by concealing the fact that the
college women who have undertaken
journalism seem as yet to have no in
fiuence in sweetening the food of SEN
sational and nasty print for which the
newspaper women of the country must
bear their share of discredit With the
newspaper men.

1t is fruitless matter to bewail
the loss of spilled milk or broken
eggs, We sympathize with Mr.
Robinson and with the others who
fought by his side. They deserved
better of the town in which they
have vital interest But they
have the consolation of knowing
that they made good honest fight
on principle and that the dirt and
falsehoods hurled at them fell
harmlessly to one side.

A E O O THIEF.
Strange and Interesting History OF
Count Librf's Acquired
Library.

Probably the o audacious ana
successful book thief that ever lived
was Count Libri of Florence, who, emf
grating to France, became in 1872 sec
rotary of a government commission TO
examine and catalogue the books and
manuscripts in the many communal
libraries Of the country. Awaiting hin
self of his opportunities, of the care
lessness and ignorance of the custodi-
ans. and a consummate knowledge OF
the treasures unveiled TO him. he quiet
ly and leisurely despoiled the Libraries
of hundreds of their choicest manu-
scripts and most precious heirlooms,
carefully obliterating afterward all
signs thai mightlead TO their identiica-
ton.
How the collection thus acquired
came into the possession of the late
Lord A~shburnham; by what means
Libri's rcbberics were afterwards dis
| covered and traced back TO him; to-
| gether with the sale ofthe library
| at a stupendous increase OF price, ana
| the methods by which the French gov
| eminent finally recovered a portion OF
their long-lost treasures, form a most
remarkable and romantic chapter in lit
erary history.

a warrant sworn out by his brother.
The case went through the justice
court with a decision for Josiah; when
appealed to the grand jury the decision
was the other way. At q retrial the de-
cision was again reversed, and then IL
went to the state courts, where IL was
tried time after time, until now IL bad
reached the supreme court, and Hiram
hoped to have the last decision against
him reversed.
During the progress of the case both
brothers had become heavily involved
in raising the money needed TO pay

farm had been mortgaged, his crops
sold TO pay the same kind Of bills. The
needs Of his family had counted for

would nurse him, and by the time the
war was over he should be well again.
But the mothers hopes were not to be
realized. "IIer baby" came home 10 her
only to be taken away again forever.
She watched beside his bedside; h did
all the many little things that only a
mother knows how TO do, but without
success. Long before the war was over
they had laid him in the little cemetery
and his furlough was extended ln'o
eternity.
When the old folks died the farm OF
more than 200 acres was left TO hiram
and Josiah Walker, to be divided equal
~ or worked together. as the brothers
might choose. For several years they
farmed their land together, and then
Hiram married. After that the land
was divided, Hiram taking the part on
which the home stood for himself and
his bride. and Josiah was to make ms
home with them.
Added TO the ties Of blood were the

sold the products of their farms to thu

ones Of peace and good will.
And then came a time OF doubt, o.
hard words, and all the comradeship o
the past was forgotten. /.
II was in the winter time, and toti
brothers were fattening hogs for mar
ket. The pens in which their hogs wer'
kept M ioined, and day after day the.
had stood together and remarked abou
the condition of the stock. One morn
ing as Josiah came out to the barnyar'
he found his brother counting his hogs
and as he reached his side Hiram turne'
to him and said:
..Josh. there's a board loose and on

The morning of May 30 was as bright
