NOW LOOK OUT!

"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"I'll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
intlammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in tho
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau.
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have a dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

GOVERNOR GREGORY DEAD.
Rhode Island Chief Magistrate Sue
cnmbs to Bright's Disease.


cumbs to Bright's Disease.
WEXFORD, II. l., Dec. 11.-Wil'
liam Gregory, governor of Rhode Is
land and Providence Plantations. is
dead at his home here of acute Bright 5
disease following a succession of ill
nesscs. After an indisposition of nearly
two months he returned last Friday to
the state capital, and his death was
the indirect result of a cold contracted
then. which brought on urHmic convul-
sions. Governor Gregory was the first
governor of the state to die in office for
nearly n century and n half. Under
the constitution Lieutenant Governor
Charles Dean Kimball of Providence
becomes the acting governor for the
remainder of the term and on Jan. Z
1902. will be sworn in as governor OF
the state for the term to which Gov
ernor Gregory had been elected on the
9TH of last month.
William Gregory, the twenty-nintf
governor under the constitution, was
an example of a self made man. From
a loom fixer he became mill superin
tendcnt and finally owner of two
worsted mills. He was president of {
national bank and director of severa
of the foremost banking institutions il
the state.
Governor Gregory was born in Asto
ria, n. V, Aug. 3, 1919, and received
his early education in Westerly. II
1879 he married Harriet Vaughan, who
with her two children, survive him.

tcrizcd by Vacillation. dilatOrincss and
.ack of enterprise, that his official re-
ports on the coal supply were mis-
leading and Inaccurate that his conduct
during the battle was self possessed
and that he encouraged in his own
person his subordinate officers and
men.
Admiral Dewey in his report says
that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all Dispatch that in view of
his coal supply the blockade of Glen
ruegos was effective, that he allowed
the Adula to enter Cienfucgos to get
information, that his passage to San.
liago was with as much dispatch rs
possible, keeping the squadron togeth-
ar: that the blockade of Santiago was
effective and, finally, that he was the
senior officer Oft Santiago, in absolute
command. and entitled to the credit
due for the glorious victory which re-
suited in the total destruction of the
Spanish ships.
1t is recommended that, in view of
the length of time which has elapsed
since the occurrence of the events Of
the Santiago campaign, no further pro-
ceedings be had in the premises.
THE RESULT A SURPRISE.
The result was a complete surprise,
and it is probable that no prophecy
has approached the truth. Instead Of
one report there are two. Both are
signed by George Dewey, president,
and by Samuel C. Lemly as judge adj
vocate. This is form said to be rec
ognized in all courts of inquiry, the
signatures of the other members not
being necessary. But it is explained
that Admiral Dewey signed the second
report, a minority report, to express
his qualification of or dissent from the
views expressed by the court, COM
prising besides himself Admirals Ben
ham and Ramsay, in the first report.
When the first information of the
findings of the court were conveyed to
Admiral Schley, he was seated in the
reception room of hotel chatting with
friends and several newspaper men
and evinced no signs of nervousness
over the outcome.
When the conclusions of Admiral
Dewey were read to him, Admiral
I Schley showed his pleasure, and it was
evident from his manner that he re
garded the statement from Admiral
Dewey as vindcatlon of his cause.

deavored to capture the Spanish YES

%Hattie the four year-old daughter of
Air. and Mrs. Alfred Bushey of Hines
burgh, WAS drowned in the water cistern
in the woodshed of their residence last
week Thursday. How the accident hap
pened will probably never be known.
The little girl went out into the shed,
and, being gone longer than usual, her
mother went to look after her. The els
tern had been left uncovered, and on
looking into it Mrs. Bushey saw her
little girls body. An alarm was given
and George Bissopnette, neighbor, got
into the cistern and removed the body.
1t is believed that it had not been in
the water more than five or ten minutes.
The three doctors of the town were sum
moned and worked for an hour and a
half trying to resuscitate the child, but
their efforts were of no avail. Mr..
Bushey was in Burlington on business
and did not know of the accident until
his return home at night.

1t is doubtful, however, if any partition
of China can be more that temporary.
While present conditions prevail the
several spheres of influence would doubt
less fail an easy prey to the powers
claiming them. China has often been in
vaded before, but her invaders have been
absorbed and lost. Conquering hordes
have set up dynasties, but the peculiar
hypnotic, amalgamating propensity of
the Chinese people have destroyed their
indemnity, and they exist to-day only as a

Chinese predict, will be the fate of mod
