HEARD IN PASSING

From reading the state press since the Ohio convention we have come TO the conclusion that W. J. Bryan is politically dead. And yet for q dead politician he is occupying considerable attention. It seems peculiar that the so-called democratic papers of Con- necticut should take such an active in- Iferest in dead politician. It is di- rectly opposite to all known polltleal AIiddletown Penny Press.

As the funeral procession was being form ed, one of the pigeons fiuttered down to the coffin on which 1t perched. So, as the pigeon would not be driven away, it was taken to the cemetery, and here it stayed by it's dead masters tomb. neither moving nor eating till it died of starvation.-New Haven Jour nal and Courier.

SHE GOT HER NosEGAY.

'I witnessed a quaint little incident on Christmas day at one of the railroad lunch counters in lower California" said a resident of this city who has just returned from a visit to the west. There is no, town worth speaking of at the point, and the agent, who is red-faced. rather grim looking old gentleman, is evidently an enthusiast on horticulture. At any rate lie has converted little enclosure adjoining the premises into q beautiful flower garden. and never i'll my life have I seen roses, carnations, pansies, chrys- anthemums and dozen other floral varieties growing i'll such magnificent profusion and perfection. Every inch of the ground bears token to the loving care it has received, and the vandal public is barred out by high paling fence. Moreover the whole plot bristles with placards warning onloolxers against picking a single blossom, and it is pretty clear that the garden is run entirely for the private satisfaction of it's owner. We reached the station early Christmas afternoon, and good many of the passengers got out for lunch. As they were leaving the din- ing room, lady i'll the crowd stopped for moment and looked with admira-' ton at a bouquet on the counter. What lovely nosegayr she remarked to companion. The agent, who was seated at his desk. looked up suddenly. Pardon me- madam,' he said, rather hesitatingly, but would you mind tell ing me where you-er got that word ..nosegay" Why, really I don't know replied the lady in surprise; I think I've always used it. An, thank you said he slowly, and fell into a brown study. The lady was moving toward the door, wben he called her back By the way he asked, are you fond of fowersT. oh, yes yeryY she answered with enthusiasm. The old gentleman got up and took down pair of pruning shears. Come with me- he said, and led the way to the garden outside. He unlocked the gate with an immense iron key, and in spite of her protests loaded the astonished lady with the choicest blooms in the entire enclosure She went back to the sleeper with all she could carry in both arms, the envy of her passengers aboard the train I NdS SlStluiIS III Lue uuOI OI lHe SldllOu house when the agent returned, and he vouchsafed a brief explanation. It was that word "nosegay,"' he said it kind of struck me all i'll a heap. It ain't used out here he added; in fact I don't believe I've heard it for twenty years I'm afraid I don't quite ex- actly understand, I ventured, some what puzzled to find the connection. Well, you see. it's an English word he replied, and I'm English myself He hung up the pruning shears, sat down again and resumed his aspect of official severity.

The charges against the collector of having violated the civil service law, together with the opinion of the civil service commission that the evidence sustains the charges, have been re ferred to MT Mckinley. As it is well known that the violations of law, Of which there is no doubt. was insti- gated by the republican bosses in Ken lucky, under ordinary circumstances Mir Mckinley would not deem it advis- able to take any action that could be regarded as a rebuke to them, but rumOr says the circumstances in this case are not ordinary, and that there is concealed therein plot, which in- wolves the election of successor to Senator Deboe. According to this sru- nor, MT Mckinley is being urged to take advantages of these charges 10 remove Collector Sapp, and to appoint in his place J. A. Craft, a former dem- ocrat, and q part of the plot is that Colonel R W. Knott, editor of the Louisville Post, who professes to be a democrat. but who supported Mckin- ley in 1896 and in 1900, and who is now supporting the administration pol icy. is to be sent to the senate as m administration senator by the com bined votes of administration demo- crats and republicans. As the story is told in Washington. Colonel Knott pledges himself to get enough of his kind of democrats elected to the Ken lucky legislature to make a majority with the republicans added. Perhaps when the story becomes known in Kentucky the democrats will be able to make it impossible for Colonel Knott to carry out his part of the plot, even if MT Mckinley agrees to become q party tc it.

STRYCHN|NE
Was The Poison Which
Killed
IDA F0SBURGH
More Arrests Expected To
Follow To-Day

Middlebury, March 22.-Dr. Berry
of Waterbury from his analysis, has
concluded that the poison which
caused Ida Fosburghs death was
strychnine. This is an important clue
as the letter to the Brandon druggist,
March 7th written in a masculine
hand and signed by her name called
for that kind of poison for the purpose
of.killing'sparrows.1S The strychnine
was sent. The envelope and prescrip-
tion paper founu in the room do not
correspond with those sent from Bran.
don however.
1t is understood that Miner Jones
Miss Fospurgh's employer, tod a re-
porter that his son Nelson informed
him that Miss Fosburgh had written
to druggist in Brandon, and that he
never knew of her ever receiving a
reply.
The man who is suspected Of inter-
cepting Druggist Spooner's letter to
Miss Fosburgh is under surveillance
by the officers and there is good au.
thority to say that he will not be ar
rested for several days.
There is considerable talk here Of a
new man in the case who is farmer
in a town near Shoreham. He is said
to have been seen in Crown Point with
Aldace Vondette two da, after Idf
Fosburgh's death and it is thought
this IL the man whom Miss FoSOurgl
said she intended to call upon Marcl
l, the day she came 10 Middlebnr,
with Nelson Jones.

Prof. Chas. Dole of the Dole Brill

briefly of the greatness and value OF

provement Society, Miss Matte john
ston, who told how the women OF
Northfeld, with the assistance OF
fathers, husbands and brothers, hoped
to beautify and cleanse. Miss john
ston spoke very ably and was listened
to with great interest.
The speaker who followed was one
of the trustees of Norwich University
J. D. Denison Of Randolph. He said
something must be done to stimulate
central Vermont. He spoke straight
to the point; illustrating with stories
and said If the people Of Northfeld
wanted that village to boom they
must start it themselves. "You have
right lere a chance to invest your
money, not In western boomtown
schemes, but in property you can each
60 and examine for yourself. "
Mr. Plumley said he had made up
his mind that when he invested any
more money in hole, the hole would
be located where he could 60 and see
it. After another vocal duet by the
Misses Lowell and Richmond, he intro.
duced the last speaker, G. w. Scarf
OF Burlington. The names OF j. K.
Egerton, w. b. Mayo, Fl. W. Vail
and T. II. Brown were on the pro-
gram, but they we're unable to speak
on account Of absence or illness.
Mr.Scartf made one of his character
isti; speeches interspersed with short
original poems. His subject was
"What shall we do to be saved" Hi'
main idea was to keep in doing tht
same everyday things, but to keeE
doing them better. Mr.. Plumley ur
