JUDGE BARRETT DEAD

special despatch from Rutland an
nounces the death there Saturdaymorning of
Judge James Barrett, at the age Of eighty
five. Judge Barrett was for twenty-three
years on the Supreme bench Of Vermont.
James Barrett son Of Martin and Dorcas
Patterson Barrett, was born in Strafford,
May 81, 1914. He was graduated from
Dartmouth College, class Of '38, studied
law, and in 1910 began the practice of his
profession in Woodstock, where he had
finished his studies in the Office of Charles
Marsh. he was State Senator two years,
and States attorney for Windsor county
for like period In 1857 the Legislature
elected Mr.. Barrett judge OF the Supreme
Court, an Office he held and highly adorned
and honored till 1880. His displacement
from IRON the bench was an act that much re-
bounded to his glory and added to the high
esteem in which he was held throughout
the State, whatever may have been the ef-
feet OF their course upon those members Of
the Legislature or other persons who con-
tribnted to his defeat in the memorable con-
test for reelection in the fall of $780,
OF Judge Barrett, his biographer in MEN
OF Vermont" says; "No man OF more pro-
found knowledge OF the law than Judge
Barrett was ever on the Supreme Court
bench, unless Asahel Peck was that man.
There can be no doubt that the
Supreme Court, when l. +. Red6eld, Po-
land ard Barrett were on its bench to-
gether, and afterwards when Poland, Bar
rett and Peck were members, was a court
that was supreme, one that united stood
and divided didn't fall great ways. When
these men differed, who would now dare to
say which was right and which wrong
unless he could find out what John Pier
point thought taking everything into con-
sideration, was the right way to dispose of
the case"
After his retirement from the bench,
Judge Barrett moved to Rutland where his
sons were living. There he practiced his
profession till age and its infirmities re-
moved him from the forum, its activities
and conflicts, "adding days Of good old age
to years of honor" His death will awaken
only the voice Of warmest eulogy.

Emeline Reed Tewksbury, wife OF G. D..
Tewksbury, died at her home in Worcester
Thursday, April 10, aged seventy-seven
years. She had been i'll but short time

so near. The life went out as sweety and
quietly as it had been lived. She is sur

thur r. of Morrisville, Oden +. Of Morris,
Mimi, and Mrs. Lenora G. Kelton, widow

eccentric character In Montpelier, died Fri

Convention 0ratOry.

The candidate that could survive the
nominating speech of Henry Ballard,
and Carroll S. Pages capacity and ex-
perience in political organization, had
a "pulr' of very mysterious agency.
The best nominating speech was by
Mr.. Hulburd, in presenting the reasons
why Carroll S. Page should be the
choice of the convention. 1t was not
only the best Of the convention, but of
any convention we have ever attended.
1t was the best in matter and manner.
In seven minutes address the strong
points in Mr.. Pages candidature were
trenchantly stated, and the argum emit
for business man of Mr.. Pages dem
onstrated ability was put with conclu-
sive force and clearness. There was
eulogy without fulsomeness, and rea-
soning without wearisome prolixity.
In felicity Of literary expression, grace
and vigor Of delivery, Mr.. Hulburd's
speech was model. There seems to
be something in Lamoille county that
inevitably tends to the breeding and
development of brains and the accom-
paniments of grace and force in speech.
If the convention had brushed the
whole field of contestants aside and
nominated the young and virile and
we'll endowed attorney, there ought to
have been resounding and unctuous
amen from the Massachusetts to the
Canada line. Suing for the Miles
Standish of the contest, the convention
might have answered, "Speak for your.
self John"

1t Is Not Surprising,

Gen. CIRCUITS employment of his
"pull'' as a congressional patronage
boss in order to help his election to the
Senate from Vermont will hurt him
quite as much as it will help him, prob
ably. 1t will be resented by the fair
minded people of the State. AS an ex-
ample, the census supervisor for the
State had selected two enumerators for
the town of Hartford. They were pre-
sumably capable man, but Gen. Grout
went to the census office at Washing
ton and secured the rejection of the ap-
pointments, substituting two names of
his own choosing, who were doubtless
Grout partisans or pos ible Grout par
tisans in the senatorial fight. The
Montpelier Daily Journal gives anoth-
er case arising in Washington county:
An enumeration, who was non-partissn
and OF unquestioned fitness, was appointed
by Supervisor Gates for a certain town, but
the appointment was recalled by orders
from Washington and Grout partisan sub.
stituted, and he has been mingling Grout
politics with the performance OF his duties
in his town. The facts in this case have re.
Gently been stated in this paper, and there
are veracious reports Of others in other
parts OF the I'd district.
1t is not surprising, therefore, to
learn that ex-Gov. Dillingham; is forg-
ing ahead OF Gen. Grout in the race.

HELEN GOULD.

THREE OAKS, Mich, June Is
Miss Helen Gould, with party of six
friends, arrived here at two O'Clock this
afternoon in the private car of Miss
Gould, having left Boston Yesterday
afternoon and made a fast trip here,
over the Boston and Albany and Mich
igan Central railroads. An immense
crowd met the incoming train, and it
was with some difficulty that Miss
Gould and party were able to reach the
fine equipage especially built for Miss
Gould for this occasion, and provided
by the citizens of Three Oaks. The
vehicle is of type usually termed a
Stanhope, and is light and stylish in
construction, made with one seat, the
running gear in cream color, with up
holstering and canopy to match. 1t
was drawn by two especially selected
white horses in tandem. The occasion
of Miss Gould's visit here at this time
is the unvelling of the Spanish guns
which were captured by Dewey at
Manila and presented to this city. A
monster parade was witnessed by Mics
Gould, who expressed appreciation at
the marching and sslutation of the
school children.

Chances for Young Men.

AT the commencement season tue re.
cent remark of we'll knosn lecturer,
in discussing opportunities for young
men, that ait looks as IL many of them
have come into the world without
places for them" is Of especial interest.
Little argument is needed to demon
strate that this statement is not true.
Every walk of life is overlooking with
opportunities for young men. There
is no monopoly of merit in the business
world and no collision to keep young
men down. On the contrary, the re-
verse is true, and whatever failures oc-
cur the great trouble is with the young
man and not with the opportunities
offered him.
The old adage, "there is always
room at the top" was never more true
than it is today. Commercial, financial,
industrial, professional, agricultural
and every other branch of human &C.
tivity call for young men of ability,
fired with ambition to get ahead, capa-
BILE of hard work and steady application
and honest in the discharge of duty.
Places for such young men are always
waiting, and the number of such oppor-
tunities is constantly increasing.
If young man knows what he
wants to do and sets out to do it, the
chances are thousand to one that he
will find plenty of opportunities lead
ing him to success, and his work and
usefulness as a man and citizen will
constantly increase.

The Second District.

The canvass for the nomination of
Representative in Congress from the
second district ends in the nomination
OF Hon. Kittredge Haskins of Brattle-
boro. The canvass has been active
and earnest, but not obstreperous.
The amenities OF life have been OBJ
served, and the methods of honorable
rivalry employed. Men have stoutly
adhered to the fortunes of their favor
ties but without bitterness or belliger-
ency. Four were called, and but one
could be chosen. Disappointment must
necessarily come to three, but the sor-
rows of honorable defeat will be
philosophically endured, and the Cir
cumstances of the contest shut out re-
proaches.
Congratulations are rendered the
victor, and the consolation of good
fight, worthy OF victory, administered
to those who "fel outside the breast
works." Mr.. Plumley's canvass was
without fault, and on the floor of the
convention he pushed the fighting to
the limit that was set by just regard
for his own interests, and q loyal devo-
ton to the superior requirements of
harmony within the organization of
which he is useful and distinguished
member. There he stopped and grace
fully and graciously withdrew from the
contest. 1t was a decent and manly
act, done OPPORTUNITY and in a manly
way. 1t enhances the high respect in
which he had been held before, and
lays his party associates under the obli-
cation meritorious service imposes.
The honors of victory are with Mr..
Plumley, victory of good sense and
patriotic devotion to his party achieved
in manner and under circumstances
that enhance the merit of his act of
self abnegation.

PERPETUAL MOTION

Barnard Town, who for the past five
years has been an inmate of the city farm
establishment, has caused furore in that
locality because of his alleged discovery OF
the secret of perpetual motion. For some
years he has been working on such a
scheme. 1t is claimed he has now perfect
ed the continuance and that on Thursday
evening he set his machine going and
that 1t Is running yet without visible motive
power. II Is said that the success OF his in
vention has caused the venerable man to
appear twenty years younger.

farm on Friday and witnessed the work.
ing OF the machine. He says while the SCI
cret OF perpetual motion may not have
been discovered by Town, yet he believes
he has made the nearest approach to it vet
made by any inventor. He says Towns
machine is very crude and necessarily
built at little expense and that il elaborated
upon would prove to be one of the wonders
1t is square and reel like in form with ball
bearings and the motive power is series
OF springs so arranged that the machine
starts at slow motion. Gathering momen-
tum and power it soon reaches such We
locity that 1t requires several men with a
heavy piece OF timber to brake it and bring
1t again TO a standstill when 1t has to be
locked to keep it from rerunning its career.
