Reference has been made in this column
to the afflicted condition of the Henry A.
Hall family, all of the IL members having
been i'll, 10 of them at one time One
child died in January. Several cases of
pneumonia set in from the measles. Mrs.
Alice Hall died on Monday, probably liter
ally worn out by hard lines. Her age was
SO. She had been married about Is years
and 10 children were born to her. Two
died of pneumonia three years ago. Eight
are living, if the Oldest girl, Daisy, and the
baby are yet alive. These two also have
been in a critical condition. Mrs. Halls
funeral was on Wednesday, a minister
from Wardsboro officiating. Mrs. Halls
maiden name was Alice Needham and she
was born in Wardsboro.
If it is true that Mr.. and Mrs. Amasa
Grout are to bring up one of the children
it is a noble charity. Certainly there seems
TO be loud call TO do something for the
well-being of the children. Mrs. Woody OF
Brooklhe is in charge of the household at
present.

A GOOD WORD FOR MIR. CONAN

From the Union Springs Herald.
 We are thinking that Assistant Examiner J. G. Cowan little suspected the bomb he was touching off when he was examining the books of the Jefferson county com missioners The disclosures made by his report have caused a general stir in Jeffer- son and later resulted in furnishing the general assembly with one of the most hot ly contested bills the house has known. In fact, the entire state has felt the explo- sion produced. MT. Cowan placed a feath- CT in his cap there. He dipped down and brought forth to the gaze of the people some irregularities which were working against the peoples interests. He has already proved that he doesn't do his ex- amining by halves Thoroughness and cor rectness are the two words forming his motto. He has proved himself so compe- tent in his work and the people all recog- nize it, that the Herald is already looking on him as the next state auditor.

SUCCESSION TO FATAL CHAIR

Rome. February S.-An English prelate who had talk with Archbishop Ireland this week makes this statement to a Sun reporter:
 Archbishop Ireland declares that he has not been summoned to Rome by the pope, but comes on his own initiative. Before leaving America he had several conferences with President Mckinley, and he brings letter from the president to the pope. Archbishop Ireland prefers not to discuss the objects of his visit. He only says that high political and religious reasons induced him to come to Rome. As for what is known as Amercanism, he Is confident that the pope will not condemn that movement, which is in perfect accord with the canons of the church. Nay, more, he believes that the pope will say a conciliatory word to- ward the movement and that the priests and people of the United States will receive it gratefully"
 Since the archbishop had an audience with the pope and duly presented President McKinley's letter, the Avanti professes to be in a position to state that the archbishop "abjured his theories of Americanism and admitted his errors" The Avanti. however is scarcely in a position to know what passed at the audience. All archbishop Ireland will say is that he was received with kindness by the holy father
 Archbishop lrelands arrival in Rome was the signal for starting quite a little news paper boom in behalf of Cardinal Gibbons candidacy for succession to the papal chair A good many in Rome regard that candi- dature as certain to be serious factor in vatican politics. The Corriere Della Sera says the Italian government would welcome with pleasure pope of American origin, because there might be some chance then of sacken.ng the tension of the relations between the vatican and the Quirinal which is probable enough.
 The Arena says that the mere suggestion of Cardinal Gibbons candidature has caused great fear among the Italian cardi-i nals supposed to be in the running, because they know it would receive the support of all the foreign cardinals and of a number of Italians Tte Arena adds that two of the most dangerous of the Ita ian candi- dates are very i'll, Cardinal Svampa, of cardiac trouble, and Cardinal Parrocchi, of diabetes.

he Editor of the Age-Herald.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 Your articles in yesterdays and today's papers, headed, Political Cowards" and "Conspiring against Common Schools" re- spectively, are a fitting comment upon the situation in So far as it touches the ques- tion of better and longer school terms As you have well said. the people will hold our representatives in the assembly to a strict accountability if they do not provide the means for giving the children of our state better school facilities.
 Professor J. B. Cunningham has shown beyond cavil that it is cheaper to maintain schools than jails and penitentiaries; that ignorance or illiteracy breeds crime. If so, our duty points the way. If ever there was time in the history of our state that indicated prosperous future, that time Is here, but how can our people expect to invite a desirable increase of population such as skilled citizens and industrial workers from other sections, where good schools exist, without at least assuring equal facilities for their children in our schools?
 Your efforts in the past have aroused our people Your continuation along the same line must receive recognition at the hands of the assembly. SAM'L ULLMAN.

spoken of, and Mir. Bacon, of Georgia, is also mentioned, but without going into a detailed list, it is sheer folly to attempt to foist on the party any man as senate leader. The position of senate leader, if there can be such thing. has in no manner the same significance as leadership in the house. In the latter the leader is the spokesman of his party Under Reeds sovereignty he is the only member of the opposition who has the privileges of the floor at all times; but the house Is a very numerous and sometimes turbulent body, so it Is quite necessary for the opposition to select one of their number as spokesman, as the leader of their forces and the advocate of their policies in the house.
 In the senate 1t Is altogether different There is no monopolizing of debate there, every man has the privilege of the floor. He can talk an hour, day, a week, if he peases, and he will not be interrupted. Ex- cept when a bill of the utmost importance is up, there is no use of a leader. MT. Cor man won his title by his management of the opposition to the force bill and in the manipulation of the Wilson tariff bill he again showed ability to push a measure through an unwilling senate. But, proper ly, there can be said to be no one leader on either side in the senate If one were neces- sary there would be one, but the necessity is lacking. Senator Davis, as chairman of the foreign relations committee, who ranks next to Senator Allison, was leader of the treaty forces, and in the fight for the Ding Allison on the committee on finance was leader of the fight, but there Is no Bailey and Reed in the senate. There is no need for them.
