DEATH oF INA DARLING.

Ina Darling, who was serving 20-year
sentence in the house of correction at
South Boston for manslaughter, died Fri
day afternoon last of consumption.
Her victim was 9-year-old Madeline
Baudet. Ina Darling was the principal
and Frank Baudet was an accessory.
Madeline was Baudets legitimate child.
Ina Darling was not Baudet's wife, al
though she lived with him.
The father not only neglected his daugh-
ter, but admitted having bound her hand
and foot frequently when he went away,
Saturday nights and Sundays, to kitchen
barrooms in the West end. Seldom did
he come home to his meals, but left the
Darling woman, with whom he lived at IA
Davis street, to manage things as cruelty
as she might.
The government evidence showed that
the child wasted away from starvation un-
til she was taken TO the city hospital on
March l, when her form had wasted down
to 80 pounds. Her little body was covered
with wounds and scars and other evidence
of brutal treatment. Her hands and feet
especially showed the intended bruises of
the ropes and cords that had been used to
bind them. To add to the total of the ap-
palling wounds upon her body, there was
wound upon her head which caused heI
death on March 26, and which was infiict.
ed by the Darling woman.
Ina Darling claimed that she was not so
brutal as Baudet, but the jury convicted
her as the principal, and Judge Braley
sentenced Baudet to the state prison fol
20 years, and imposed the same sentence
on the Darling woman, the only difference
being that she should serve her time in
the house of correction. She was com
mitted April 16, 1894.
Miss Darling was former well-knowr
Chesterfield, N. H., girl who went from
that town to Boston several years ago
She had many acquaintance in Brattle
boro. Her father, who lived in Chester
field, has been in Boston this winter en-
deavoring to secure a pardon for his
daughter.

To Make Dewey Admiral.

The naval appropriation bill passed the
House yesterday after four days of debate,
The proposition to build an armor plate
plant was defeated, and the price which
the committee recommended for armor,
$545, was cut down to $445.
Another victory over the committee was
secured by the adoption of a provision to
the naval bill creating the rank of admiral
of the navy. This was accomplished by
Mr.. Moody, Mass, who offered copy of
the Senate bill, creating this rank, as an
amendment to the naval bill.
The amendment was clearly subject to
the point of order against it raised by Mr..
Boutelle, but the sentiment of the house
was so apparently unanimous in favor of
the amendment that he withdrew the
point of order and it was adopted without
dissenting vote. The naval committee
had amended the Senate bill so as to also
create a rank of vice admiral, but Mr..
Moody's amendment was the original SEN
ate bill without the latter provision.

Col. Harvey as Editor of the North
American Review.

American Review.
Col. George b. NJ. Harvey has flashed
into the public eye again through his pur-
chase of the North American Review, one
OF the oldest and most noted Of American
publications. The Review was founded
81 years ago, and it has been under the
management of Gen. Lloyd 5. Bruce and
David A Munroe the past ten years Col
Harvey paid S225, 900 for the magazine,
and he will become it's editor with the
May number.
The Phoenix has referred within a short
time to Col. Harvey's remarkable career,
but it is of interest TO note now that he
was born in Peacham only 81 years ago.
He beclme imbued with the ambition to
become an editor when he was only II
years old. The only reading matter which
he had then aside from his school books
and the local paper was monthly copy of
the North American Review. At the age
of -, after graduating from the Caledonia
county grammar school, he began writing
for local newspapers.
He served as a reporter on the staff of
the Springfield Republican and later on the
Chicago Daily News. When 2l he came
to New York and began work as a re-
porter on the World. He rose TO be edit
or-in-chief, when his health broke down,
and he was compelled TO resign in 1895.
Since then Mr.. Harvey has been interested
in the development of electrical railroads
and electric lighting He bought the street
railroads of Havana and other properties
in the island of Cuba only a few weeks
ago. He has given large amount of time
TO electrial construction along the New
Jersey coast.
Mr.. Harvey says: "The policy of the
North American Review will be more
| poignant in the future. Its articles will be
written by men of the hour. They will
be popular in their character, while pos
sessing at the same time dignity and
weight. l expect to edit the magazine,
and will follow the general lines laid down
by long list of illustrious predecessors.
There will be no change of form or man.
ner OF review. There will be no political
partisanship."

The American-Canadian high joint COM
mission has adjourned to meet at Quebec
in August. Substantial progress has been
made in the settlement of many of the
questions upon which the commission has
been engaged, but there are differences in
regard to the Alaskan boundary line. The
Canadians are anxious to obtain seaport
on the Lynn canal, so that its shippers
will not be subject to alleged petty annoy
at the hands of United States Off
cials. The Canadian commissioners wish
to settle the question by arbitration, but
the Americans favor leaving it to eminent
jurists, three TO be chosen by each coun-
try.

The finest tribute which has been paid
to the memory of Senator Morrill, is that
which is published on the second page of
The Phenlx. 1t was delivered last Fri
day night before the Buffalo, N. Y, society
of Vermonters by Prof. Walter E. Howard,
professor of history and political science at
Middlebury college. 1t not only shows
thorough appreciation of and sympathy
with the qualities which marked Mr.. Nor
rill as an illustrious man, but it is such a
graceful and expressive specimen of liter
airy excellence that it ought to be preserv-
ed in many Vermont homes. Prof. How
ards tribute is of particular interest to the
people who remember him as a boy in
Guilford before his college days.

lied for the 372 pictures was $3OG, 800 and
Mr.. Clarke realizes handsome profit for
making the collection. The highest price
paid for single picture was for Inness's
famous "Gray Lowery Day." which
brought $10 $50. This picture was painted
in a single day. Several other Inness
masterpieces sold for high prices. The
Corcoran art gallery at Washington bought
"The Road to Concarneau," by the late
William L. Picknell, for $11OO, and w. r.

bered that Mr.. Picknel was born in Wind

The appropriations of the present Con-
gress will aggregate s., 600,OO0,O00 and
may exceed this sum by more than $780,
100000 if the Nicaragua canal amendment
to the river and harbor bill is adopted.
These figures are interesting when one re-
members the political capital which the
Democrats made out of the so-called "bil-
lion dollar Congress" 51st Congress
When the Democrats came into control of
the government their expenditures also
passed the billion dollar mark and the con-
clusion was reached that this was a billion
dollar country. The war with Spain is re-
sponslble for almost all OF the increase of
the appropriations of the present Congress
above the average of the past few years

Attempt to Lynch Doh.rty at Wat

erbury.
The preliminary hearing in the case of
Charles DOherty, charged with the will
full shooting of Fred Murphy on Saturday
last at the farm of J. L. Pixley near the
Bolton Falls electric plant, was opened in
the old High school building at Waterbury
yesterday. Doherty arrived from the
county Jail on the 10:45 train, accompan-
led by Sheriff Graves and his attorney,
Edward Deavitt Of Montpelier, and States S
Attorney Hoar OF Barre. On arriving at the
schoolhouse there was a large crowd gath
cred, who showed a disposition to inter-
fere with the law. Randall Blodgett,
armed with shotgun and a lynching rope,
stepped up to the sheriff and demanded
that Doherty be turned over to the
crowd, at the same time pointing his gun
at the sheriff's head. The sheriff drew a
revolver and firmly announced that the
first man who laid hands on Doherty
would do so at his cost. Mr.. Deavitt
jumped forward and snatched the gun
from Blodgett. This caused a great deal
of excitement. After Deavitt seized
Blodgett's shotgun Blodgetts friends got
him home. Sheriff Graves being alone,
did not attempt to arrest him, but he will
be arrested.
Blodgett disappeared while Sheriff
Graves was taking Doherty to place OF
safety. He told some of his friends that
he would not be taken alive. A negro
named Fox, who is connected with the
Doherty- Murphy case in some manner, has
been placed under arrest, he having threat
ened to kill man with whom he was ar
guing about the shooting affair. Fox is
said TO have placed a revolver at his disput-
ants head.
Several witnesses were heard on the ar
raignment of Doherty bnt the case was
postponed two weeks to await the result OF
Murphy's wound. Murphy's recovery was
considered extremely doubtful yesterday.

No Extra Session.
An Agreement ON the Army Compromise
Bill.

An Agreement on the Army Compromise
Bill.
The question of an extra session is set
tied by the coming together on the basis of
a compromise for the army Reorganization
bill. The proposition is one made by
Senator Cockrell of the military affairs
committee, and with certain amendments
suggested by Republican Senators and ap-
proved by leaders in the House, the
scheme is likely to become a law.
In general way it provides for a regu-
lar army of 62,500 men and authorizes
the President to organize a provisional
army of 35, 900 men. This force of nearly
100, 900 can be maintained for a period of
two years. This is all in accordance with
the bill introduced by Senator Cockrell,
the idea being that the provisional army of
80, 600 shall be enlisted and organized as a
military force in Cuba and in Porto Rico,
and, when feasible, in the islands of the
Pacific, the army in each island to be
composed of the inhabitants of that island.
The President asked fol three years
limit, but the Democrats were unwilling to
60 beyond two years.

The Standard Oil octopus has reached
across the boundary line and now holds all
the refiners in Western Ontario. Well
owners there must accept the price paid by
the Standard company for the crude pro-
duct, and it is alleged that an open agree
ment has been made with the Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific railroads for
discriminatory rates, which, If allowed to
continue, will drive independent com
panies into bankruptcy. The agreement
is in direct violation of the Canadian laws.
The price of oils has been advanced in
Canada since the Standard company OBJ
taIned hold there.

Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to de-
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the dark. puffy circles under the
e es, the sallowr parsnip-colored
complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in
the back or over the hips, stomach
trouble, desire to urinate often, or a
scolding in passing it; if after pass
ing there is an unsatistied feeling
as if it must be at once repeated,
or if the urine has a brick dust de-
post or strong odor.
WheG these symptoms are pre-
sent, no time should be lost in re-
moving the cause
Delay may leadto gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, inflammation, caus
ing stopDage, and sometimes re-
quiring the drawing of the urine
with instruments, or may run into
Bright's Disease, the most danger
GUS stage of kidney trouble.
