STOCKTON SPRINGS. Dr. Truman Griffin
OF Pittstield was in town last week, called
here by the illness of his father, Mr. Isaac
H. Griffin, who has been in feeble health
for some time. Mr.. Griffin has since SEEM
ed considerably improved, but at this writ
ing is suffering another ill-turn, and at his
advanced age his friends are fearful as to
the outcome. .....Mrs. Ralph Morse left last
Thursday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Jen-
ME Bragg, in West BrOokfield, Mass. Mr.
Sewall Viles has sold his house, formerly
the Gilmore place, to Mr.. Will Smith, who
moved his family there last Friday. Mrs
Jere. Grant is very seriously i'll with pneu-
monia; but present indications are favor
able, and friends are hopeful of her re-
| covery. Capt Grant, her husband, is only
now rallying from a very severe attack of
| the same dread disease. 60. Mr.. RAYMOND
Grant was able to come up street Monday
for the first time since his attack of appen-
dlcltls in the winter Mr.. j. G. Lambert is

his patrons will do well to give him call
....Capt. Eden Shute came home Saturday
for visit with his family. Capt. Horace
| Griffin is going into poultry raising quite
extensively, having already bought three
lncubators, with a capacity for holding over
400 eggs. During Saturday night, what
might have proved a serious contlagation,
occurred in his "brooder- house." By the
explosion of one of the lamps, the building
| "a small one) was fired, and the inside al
most entirely burned out, killing thirty -one
chickens, completely destroying one of the
| ''brooders' and injuring the others. The
building being sheathed in thick paper,
with almost no admission of air, the flames
fortunately smothered and went out, even
before discovered. AS the building was
near pile of wood, which in turn reached
to the stable, the fire would have commune
Gated with that, and then with the house, if
1t had found vent. ... Mrs. Thomas Clifford
has been seriously ill the past week with
heart trouble; but at this writing is i'm
proving. -. Mrs VIM. II. Reed is very criti-
cally ill, and her mother is feeling great
anxiety. Her husband is away at sea. -.
Many of the older inhabitants are expect
ing an early spring; and as the willow
'pussies" are already showing fine and
silky coats, and the Maytlowers are in bud,
these predictions seem in fair way to be
fulfilled.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

\ Mrs. II. b. Cunningham also had her open
ing Saturday. She had a large and elegant
assortment, and her store was thronged with
buyers all day. Her show window was very
attractive, but the sale of hats and other
materials displayed there caused number
OF changes in the arrangement. Miss Dora
NJ. Casey is beginning her fifth season with
Mrs. Cunningham, and thoroughly under
stands the tastes of Belfast ladies. Her
stock and the millinery skill displayed
shows that she fully appreciates her work
and is prepared to meet the demand. One
OF the first to sell is dainty hat of pinkish
mauve hair braid with a cord of mauye
braid and gold sewn concentrically over the
top. 1t is faced with pale green and pink
malines and trimmed with deep pink roses
and foliage. A handsome buckle of gilt and
rhinestOnes holds the maline drapery, which
goes from under the brim to the top. A hat
greatly admired is of medium size, with bell
crown and brim, broad in the front and mar
row at the back, made of narrow geranium
braid, covered with geranium chiffon, and
with wreath of autumn-tinted leaves, and
black velvet bow and gold buckle. A telling
effect was produced by large turban of
black hair braid, draped and held by gold
buckle. A wreath of roses surrounds the
brim and drapery of fine Venetian renais-
sance lace appears just above, held in place
by handsome buckle
The fancy goods department of Miss Hat
tie M. Black, in the same store, contains a
large and varied assortment of the latest
and best in her line She has an unusually
large stock of corsets in various styles. Her
belts, with the new style gilt spikes, are in
all the latest shades and patterns. Val and
Torchon laces and hamburgs are here in all
the latest patterns. The assortment of plain
and fancy hosiery is large and varied, while
in neck-wear and hair ornaments all COM
plexions and tastes can be suited. Miss
Black has large line of wrappers and uu-
derwear, and in fact everything necessary
for lady's wardrobe, dresses and outside
wraps excepted can be bought here in the
latest styles and the best materials

from the gangrene which affected the stomach

ed soon afterward. Did the surgeons
who dressed the wound on Tuesday
know that the slight disturbance of

and it being obvious that gangrene had
wounds which could be reached and
dressed, did they have no cause to as
sumo that the same or a worse condi-
ton might be expected to develop in
the unknown track of the bullet beyond
the posterior wound? These and cog
nate questions occur to the outside pub

something of a comfort to have them
answered satisfactorily.

The steel Strike settled.

1t is with the greatest satisfaction
that the country learns of the settle
| ment of the steel strike in New York
on Saturday. After conference last
ing six hours between representatives
of the steel companies and the officers
of the Amalgamated Association, an
agreement was reached, and it is under
stood that all plants involved in the
late trouble will be in operation today.
AT the hour of writing we have not
been informed regarding the exact
terms of the treaty, but We understand
that the basis of peace is the recent
offer OF President Schwab to Mr.. Com
pers, to let the Amalgamated men have
the mills which have been kept closed
by the strike, all others to be non-un-
ion. The length of the conference was
due to the strenuous efforts of Presi-
dent Shaffer to secure more favorable
terms. He worked hard to induce the
companies to settle on the basis of the
scale which the strikers refused to ac-
cept last June. but to no purpose.
The outcome, while it appears to be
widely regarded as defeat for the
Amalgamated Association, leaves it in
a better position than it probably would
have occupied had the strike been pro-
longed another week. By the end of
that time the indications have been that
il would fan in pieces through the Sc
cession of a large portion of the rank
and file, and it might have happened
that every one OF the trust plants
could and would have been started up
as nom union shops. The association,
therefore, has saved something out of
the wreck Of a movement which has
been costly both to capital and labor,
and to the country at large in the dis
turbance of business conditions it has
occasioned. There is one ground for
thankfulness in the connection. and
that is that there has been little serious
violence in the course of the strike,
though there have been many threaten
ing indications that armed collisions and
bloodshed were imminent Happily all
such menaces to peace and public or
der are past, and the country generally
will be glad to know that what at one
time promised to be the most bitter and
protracted labor war in the history of
American industry has been brought TO
a peaceful conclusion.

! tent prevented the forming of close
| friendships on an extended scale. In
| Congress. though, it was different. He
met three hundred and fifty other mem
bers upon plane of absolute equality
/ so far as official station went, and dur
| ing his successive terms this number
| must have been increased several fold.
| Here his only superiority was that
which his abilities and character gave
him, and nowhere could there have
been a better opportunity to measure
him at his real value as man.
1t is entirely safe to say that by no
class was Mr. Mckinley held in higher
personal esteem than by those who
were, in one Congress or another, as
sociated with him in the work of ma
tional legislation. Differences of opin-
ion there were found to be with ref
erence to his attitude upon public
questions of a partisan nature, but
apart from such matters there was only
one feeling toward him. which was that
of unqualified respect and a regard
which generally bordered close upon af-
fection. During the Fifty-first Con-
Sress he was the floor leader of the Re-
publican majority. He was without
experience in such work, and had been
looked upon as something of tariff
specialist. But he never lost his head
in the most critical moments of that
turbulent Congress. He was equal to
every emergency that arose, and it is
doubtful if member of that body can
recall an instance in which he showed
the slightest trace of temper or ill
will at being crossed.
Some have thought that Mr.. McKin-
ley was not man of dominating force
as a leader. Certainly he was very diff
ferent in that respect from Thomas b.
Reed. But it must be remembered that
there are various modes of leading men.
1t may be done by an exertion of what
appears to be arbitrary authority. and
it may be done more effectually in
many cases by kindly pursuasiveness
which carries no sense of humiliation
with ii and leaves no sting. 1t was in
this that Mr.. Mckinley eXceiled as a
leader in Congress, and he left that
body carrying with him the love Of his
closer friends and the hearty good will
of the entire membership. He showed
the same lovely traits as Chief Execu-
tive. His political opponents have
found much to criticise in the policy of
his Administration. but there has been
very little disposition to attack him |
personally. or to deny to him the pos
session of very endearing personal quail |
tiles.
Thus it is that the nation now mourns |
as perhaps it never did before over the |
death of a President, with the single |
exception of that Of Washington When |
died the country was in the !
last throes of civil war, and the great
ness of the man was not fully appre-
ciated. AT the time of Garfield's tragic /
death, the Republican party itself was
rent into factions, and great rancor
prevailed between them. But McKin-
ley passes away with the country at |
peace and prosperous, his party in har-
mony. and his political opponents in
the hndliest mood toward him. 1t is
A beautiful ending of a noble life thus
TO cross the vale that leads to eterni-
ty honored and revered by the whole
people of the nation he loved SO well
and served so faithfully.

The country's Love for Mr.. mckinley

The expressions of regret and condo
lence at the brutal assassination of
President Mckinley that have come to
us from abroad are deeply gratifying
to the American people. The manifes-
tations of foreign sympathy have a
double significance. They indicate both
the esteem in which Mr.. Mckinley was
held personally and the commanding
position which the American Republic
has attained among the great Powers
of the earth. There is. indeed, much
of international courtesy in the kindly
words that have fallen from the lips of
foreign potentates, and in the sympa-
thetic tone of the press comment in
other lands. Still, it is all undoubtedly
sincere, and the high appreciation of
the character Of the murdered Presi-
dent gave added warmth to many of
the condolences.
So the pathetic tenderness which has
pervaded the press comments in this
country must be taken fairly to ex-
press the general feeling of the Ameri-
can people. irrespective Of partisan af-
filiations. 1t goes to prove that as a

tionally strong hold upon the affections
of his countrymen- This feeling was
however, general one, and necessarily
so, for only a small fraction OF the sew
entysix million people constituting the
population of this great Republic knew
him personally. Sometimes the popu-
lar estimate Of q public man may be
out of keeping with his real character,
but in this case the general idea of the
masses Is close in line with the feel
ing Of those who knew Mr.. Mckinley
most intimately. II may be said OF him
that those who knew him best, loved
him best
A large portion OF the late Presidents
life was spent in the public service,
and, of necessity, he was brought into
close relations with large numbers of
his fellow -countrymen, some associated
with him in the affairs of state. and
others meeting him merely as private
citizen. Probably his widest and most
distinguished circle of friends was
made during his Congressional career

A report from Copenhagen yesterday
was to the effect that King Edward was
seriously considering the question of
being represented at the funeral of the
late President Mckinley, by his son and
heir apparent. the Duke of Cornwall and
ork. Such a thing would be delicate
and welcome expression of the sympathy
his Majesty is known to feel for the
American people in their affiiction. and
it is possible that the idea may be car
ried out. The time however, is short. 1t
is possible that arra ngements could be
made to bring the Duke to Washington
by Friday morning. But royal travellers
in these days need some preparatory
care for their protection, and the short
notice may very likely prove fatal to the
project.

Under Lord Kitcheners proclamation,
yesterday was the last day of grace for
the Beers in the field. With today will
begin the new military policy, which will
regard them as no longer belligerents.
but as bandits. Neither in this country
nor in London does there appear much
of an idea that the threat of outlawry
will have any considerable effect in re-
ducing resistance. 1t is argued. and no
doubt with truth, that nine-tenths of the
Boer rank and file are ignorant of the
fact that a British proclamation affecting
their status as fighters is extant Mean
time, there is a sudden cessation of talk
concerning Botha's alleged intention to
surrender, and the chances still seem to
be that Lord Kitchener will only end the
struggle by killing or capturing the last
man engaged in it on the other side.
