The tax of ten cents pound on
tea proposed in the conference bill,
now passed by both houses, will add
somewhat to the cost of tea in this
country. 1t is besides step back
ward from the "free breakfast table. F."
But it will have its advantages for
the people. Under existing law a
very great amount of tea that is un-
fit for consumption is imported and
mixed with better tea, to its degra-
dation. 1t is the opinion of tea
importers that the tax of ten cents a
pound will exclude this unwholesome
stuff, and, while yielding an impor-
tant revenue to the Government, will
protect the people from a swindle and
an injury hitherto inflicted upon them
without remedy.

David Wood, a painter by trade
died at the hotel Brattleboro, Sunday
afternoon from injuries received the
day before.
Mr.. Wood and William Dagers
were at work painting in a room in
the rear of the Office in the hotel Sat.
urday afternoon and Wood, who was
an athletic young man, probably
started to perform some feat on the
truss rod about eight feet from the
floor. 1t is thought that he intended
to hang from the rod by his feet, but
as he let himself down from the rod
his hand slipped and he fell to the
floor, striking upon the back of his
head and shoulders
Dagers saw that Wood was injured
seriously and ran up the street to
summon Dr. Webster. Woods body
was paralyzed from his neck down,
but his mind was perfectly clear. He
was placed on stretcher and carried
to one of the upstairs rooms, and his
cousin, ID. G. O'Neil, and his wife
who was employed at E. d. Whit
ney's, were summoned as soon as
possible. Mrs. Wood remained will
him constantly until his death. Thu
cause of death was the rupture of ;
blood vessel at the base of the brain
The young man retained consciousness
until q short time before his death.
David Wood was 81 years old, ant
was native of Scotland, He cam
to this country II or 13 gears ago
and learned his trade as painter wit
Mr. O'Neil at Claremont. He cam
to Brattleboro about nine years age
and had worked here ever since wit
Mr.. O'Neil.
8 He was an expert workman, wh
worked steadily and faithfully at hi
trade. He had the sturdy, independ
ent characteristics of the Scotch race
and was well known and well-liked b
the young men.
He was married last April to Mis-
Agnes Dand He also leaves
mother, Mrs. Betsey Wood of Glare
mont, n. H., and three married sis
tiers, who live in Claremont, Whit
