The telegram received by the rela-
tives here Thursday afternoon did not
state the cause of death, but it has
since been learned that she was
drowned while attending a picnic of
Sunday school children at a picnic
ground near Mauch Chunk.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are very sad. To go from one
part of the picnic grove to another it
was necessary to cross a stream. To
do this large tree formed a rustic
bridge. The other children crossed
safely, but Grace slipped and fell into
the stream, where though the water
was shallow she drowned before as
sistance could reach her.
The girl was a bright winsome child
and was beloved by all who knew her.
She has lived with Mr.. and Mrs. Low

her mother when she was a little child.
The funeral will be held from the
residence, 156 South Sumner avenue,
this afternoon at 230 O'Clock. Inter-
ment will be made at the Washburn

The London Times is mistaken in it's
assertion that the desire for a strong
navy by the United States is directed
against England. The United States
could truthfully retort that it is Eng
land and not this country which is
showing an unneighborly spirit. What
does England's recent heavy expend-
and Pacific coasts of Canada mean
unless it is preparation for possible
attack by the United States? Not even
the most pessimistic of British states
men or most timid of Canadians be-
ieve that France, Germany or Russia
could ever get any hostile foothold in
Canada. England's erection of new

The farm house of Frank E. Kim

rapidly that the inmates did not have

PENSIONS.

Considerable interest is being ex-
hibited in the matter of pension ex-
penditures. The national treasury
disburses nearly $3.50, 100000 year,
or more than enough to maintain any
of the standing armies of Europe, save
Russia's. This too, principally for
service in a war that ended thirty
three years ago. There are nearly
million pensions on the rolls and two
or three hundred thousand claims are
still on file. Instead of reaching the
maximum, the expenditures seem to
be growing each year as new claims
are added and new laws passed.
Meanwhile, it is only by piling on the
heaviest duties that the government
is able to avoid serious deficit. But
it is not the magnitude of the expen-
ditures that provokes the most criti-
cism- Our country is rich and can
well afford to show it's gratitude to
those who defended it in the hour of
peril. The chief cause of complaint
is the alleged wholesale existence of
fraud in the rolls, by which unde
serving persons prey on the treasury.
The laws themselves are described as
too lax and their operation still more
SO. The pension attorneys come in
for a great deal of censure. Commis
sioner Evans describes them as ssthe
most pestiferous varmints that ever
invaded a hen-roost" No doubt as
class they are Jealous in pressing
claims, for that is the source of their
livelihood, and it seems unjust to
blame them for making use of every
legitimate opportunity to secure
claims for their clients. No doubt
grave abuses exist in the pension sys-
tenn and careful investigation and
revision of the rolls might be judi
cious. However, there must come a
time not long hence when the pay
ments will fall off, as the death rate
increases year by year. The money
nearly all goes to the classes that
need it and none of it leaves the
country. For a matterof such mag
nitude, it is far less scandalous than
might be xpected.-Rdndolph Her.

While we do not always agree with
the Rutland Herald, we are heartily in
accord with its views on the matter
of "puffing and personal advertisingo
in the local paper, to which this paper
recently referred. The following is a
part of the Herald article:
The Herald believes that the worst
weakness among Vermont newspaper
men, and indeed among newspaper
men all over the country, is want of
faith in their own wares. They fear
that this man will stop his paper and
that that one will drop his advertise
ment out. There is too much of some
thing like feeling that subscriptions
and advertise ments are given on
something besides business grounds.
The idea is all wrong. If man does
not want paper he will surely not
take it, and if he does not profit from
an advertisement he will not pay for
it. But if he does want a paper no
little milf will long keep him from
buying it, and if he makes money
from All advertisement he will not
drop that profit from any trif1ing
cause. 1t is all ssbusiness0 Most
Vermont newspapers are SO good,
even with the free advertisements,
that people who live in their vicinity
are bound to buy them, and nothing
is clearer than that merchants are in
most cases absolutely compelled to
advertise in them. Stop the sspuff-
ing,o brethren of the pen and scis-
sors, get more news, and you will
surely reach a reward

GREATER NEW york APPOINT
MENI1S.

The appointments thus far made by
ficers of the city and county create
no surprise and call for very little
comment.
The general character of the ap-
pointments was decided by the peo-
pie in the election. They voted for a
government of politicians represent
ing the dominant partisan organiza-
tion of the city. The issue was per-
fectly plain. Neither the candidates
on the successful ticket nor the man
or men who nominated them made
any false pre- tense in this matter.
They antagonized squarely the multi
partisan idea as applied by Mayor
Strong and the nom partisan idea as
represented by Setn Low. They de-
clared for Democratic city govern
ment, and 233, 1897 voters sustained
them. In addition to this 1O1, 1868 Re-
publicans Indicated their preference
for such an administration to one con-
Quoted on strictly business principles.
The Platt Republicans supported Mr..
Van Wyck just as effectively as though
they had voted for him directly. And
their organ yesterday rejoiced over
the Republican choice in alternative
which made Mr.. Van Wyck rather
than Mr.. Low Mayor of Greater New
York.
The people, therefor, get precisely
the sort of officials and servants that
they voted for or preferred.
There is no just canse for public dis
appointment or complaint, therefore,
in the appointments already announc
ed or foreshadowed. The expected
has happened. The decreed has come
to pass. And there is, as is custo-
mary in such cases, a general disposi-
ton on the part of the people, in
which The World fully shares, to give
the new officials fair chance and to
judge them by what they do. This is
a test to which no public servant can
object. 1t is one which none can es-
cape.-NeaD York World.

The suppression of the rebellion in
Morocco has been signalized in the
savage fashion of the country by cut
ting off the heads of the rebels, salt
ing them and setting them on spears
iu front of the Sultan's palace in Tan

rous custom in this country is to be
deprecated, but it would certainly
lend picturesque aspect to the fac
ade of the Democratic Club.

BARTON VERMONT, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1898.
Clarence P. Ewins, an ex-deputy

Clarence P. EWins, an ex-deputy
collector at North Troy, and Ezra
Seaver, employed as clerk in his
store, were arrested Thursday by
Deputy United States Marshal James
Kelley, of Burlington, on the charge
of smuggling sugar from Canada into
this country. Ewins keeps country
store in North Troy, and it is alleged
that he has illegally brought across
the line 10 barrels of granulated and
245 pounds of brown sugar. 1t was
stored in an outbuilding owned by D.
Ell. Wilson, who informed Deputy
Collector Butterfield, and the arrest
followed. The sugar is said to have
been brOughtover in small quantities
of two or three barrels at time.
Ewins and Seaver were taken to
Montpelier and arraigned before
United States Commissioner w. A.
Lord. They waived examination and
were each held in $500 bail.
Mildred Brewster was taken from
the Washington county jail to Heaton
hospital Monday and Drs. Chandler
and Bisbee, of Montpelier, and DIR. F.
W. Page, superintendent of the state
asylum for the insane at Waterbury,
removed the bullet which has been in
her head since the tradegy at Mont
pellcr on May 20, 1t was very deli
cate operation and the knife was in
the hands sof DIR. Chandler. Miss
Brewster was under the influence of
ether for more than two hours. 1t
was necessary tonchisel away a large
piece Of bone back of her right ear
before the bullet could be removed.
When it was finally taken out it
proved to be a shapeless bit of lead,
bearing no resemblance to a revolver
bullet. This operation was decided
necessary by the physicians in order
to save Miss Brewsterss life, as she
would surely have died had the bullet
remained Embedded in her head. She
rallied after the operation and is rest
ing comfortably tonight, although it
is by no means certain that this oper-
alton will not prove fatal. She will
remain at Heaton hospital for the
present in charge of a representative
of Sheriff Collins.
