Cardinal Gibbons Presented With An
 Address at Queenstown
 Queenstown, Aug 19.-Cardinal Gib- bons, who sailed on the Etruria yes- terday, was the recipient Saturday night of two addresses, one from the Queenstown Urban council, the other from the Young Mems Catholic so- ciety, at the bishops house. Replying he said:
 Il shall be thirty three years q bishop tomorrow, and it was q great consolation to me to offer during my recent visit my homage to the Holy Father. Ireland is undoubtedly a great missionary country. Whatever may be the unfortunate causes leading to the repatriation of the sons and daughters of Ireland from their soil Almighty God has made exile subsidi-' ary to higher holier purposes because He has made the Irish people the fore most amongst the missionaries the church has got throughout the world.
 Without any spirit of exaggeration I can say that, so far as the United States are concerned, there is not q town. city or hamlet which has not been sanctified by the preaching of Irish Catholic priests. and has not been served by noble Catholic men and wo- men from Ireland. But for their la bors and piety we could not to-day boast of the mark of progress of re ligion ill America.
 Of course other nations are CO., operating with the Irish, German French and Americans, but Ireland has borne the foremost part.
 Though we have splendid monu- ments of religion i'll America, Queens towns great Cathedral church is fit to take rank with any. I looked at it to- night with pride, mingled with the sentiment of envy that I have not q cathedral of it's age
 The future of the church in Ire land. as well as the church in Ameri- ca, depends on the zeal, piety and de- votion of the rising generation. Let me have the making of the young men of Ireland, then I do not care who takes care of the mature generation. The young men of Ireland have great destiny before them. Although my ancestors were Irish and I love Ire land. yet I was born in Baltimore, and the United States is my mother coun7 try"
 The cardinals eloquence was great ly appreciated and applauded.

schley Inquiry Has Serious Financial
 Side To It.

New York, Aug I9. Now that an official investigation of the Samp- son-Schley controversy has been ordered no expense will be spared, as It IS tne purpose of the secretary of the navy to get every possible fact having any bearing Oh the Santiago campaign over which disputes have arisen before the court of inquiry.
 Every officer whose testimony will be of the slightest value will be sum- moned to Washington whether on duty on the Asiatic station or in Eu- rope.
 The naval regulations provide that officers of the navy travelling under orders in the United States shall be allowed eight cents per mile while so engaged in lieu of their actual ex- penses.
 Officers travelling to the United States from a foreign station will receive subsistence pay at the rate of from so cents to one dollar per day if travel-ng on a naval vessel or on any army transport. But as very few of the officers summoned from foreign countries can travel on gov ernment fyessels actual travelling ex- penses will be allowed for the sea voyage, and eight cents per mile for such part of the journey as is made by rail. A naval officer coming from the Philippines to San Francisco on merchant vessel would receive about $500 for the sea voyage, $25o for the journey from San Francisco to Wash ington and the same returning to his post.

of another New Yorker of the same polit-
zeal faction, who was also rejected at
Hills behest. Next, the president wrote
a third member of the New York bar and
offered the position to him. This man
had not been much identified with either
wing and while a friend of Cleveland
was not personally obnoxious to Hill. If
he had been nominated he would have
been confirmed, but he delayed answering
the presidents letter until he could con-
slider the matter and in the meantime
Cleveland, who was determined to give the
place to one of his friends and who had
wearied of trying to put a New orker
into it, conceived the idea of taking a
Democratic senator from the South, know
ing that it was the unwritten law of the
senate to confirm without question any
member of that body who was nominated.
He chose Senator White of Louisiana, an
able lawyer who had been supporter of
his policies during his administration,
and, as he expected, confirmation prompt
ly followed.
Now it happens that this same Judge
White, the accidental product of bitter
political and personal fight between Cleve-
land and Hill, by Joining four Republican
Judges creates majority of one for de-
ClSlOu lIIdl llt -AIueIlCdu NOuslllull
does not follow the flag and that congress
may ignore that instrument in making
laws for the island colonies. The reason
for his course is easily found. 1t is
doubtful if there is another eminent Dem
ocratlc lawyer In the country who agrees
with him. Certainly his party is prac.
tically unit against him and has with ii
on this issue very considerable number
of Republicans whose judgement and con.
victions were voiced by Judges Harlan and
Brewer. But White comes from Louisiana
and has been from the beginning of his
public career a representative Of the sugar
interests, which would be injured by
a construction of the Constitution that
prohibited congress from shutting GU,
the products of Porto Rico and the
Philippines. He is an anti imperalisi
and a free trader until it comes to sugar
and then he is the reverse. If Cleveland
and Hill had not fallen out. if the senate
had not done Hills bidding, if a New
York lawyer had said twenty four hour;
sooner than he did that he would accept
the iudgeship, if White had not been q
senator and therefore able to command
a confirmation, if he had lived in any
other state than Louisiana. if any other
Democrat had occupied his place, The
institution would have followed the
flag and the future history of the Repub
| lie would have been different.

Orwell Man Drowned

W. a. Hildreth of Orwell was drowned
In East creek near his farm Sunda1
afternoon. June l6, at about 6 O'Clock.
In company with his hired man, named
Robbins, and Charles Ward, he went for
a row on the lake at about , o'clock.
The men crossed the lake to Old Fort
Ticonderoga, where they landed and
walked down to Addison junction,
thence back to their boat They had
nearly rowed to their destination when
Mr.. Hildreth remarked that they would
be late for the chores. A moment later,
and without warning, he pitched head
foremost into the water. As he failed tc
rise to the surface, one of the remaining
men dove after him, but without success
in finding him. 1t was not until four
hours later that the body was recovered.
An inquest was held on Monday morning
to investigate the case. The witnesses
could give no reason for his act. The
funeral was largely attended on Tuesday
fnterment being in the East cemetery
i he deceased leaves wife and two chill
dren. - =

An Accidental Decision.


The extent to which the history and
even the fate of nations is sometimes de-
termined by what appear TO be unim-
portant accidents when they occur is il
Illustrated in the recent decision of the
supreme court of the United States in the
famous Downes case, which decision up
held the administration policy in dealing
with Porto Rico and the Philippines and
probably decided our future relations to
all our insular possessions.
All lawyers and statesmen agree that
this was the most vital finding of the
court of last resort that has been rem
dered In the last half century, and it is
doubtful if there has ever been another
upon which more depended. And yet it Is
the result of personal quarrel between
Grover Cleveland and David b. Hill, for
it becomes the law of the land by the vote
of single Judge who In all probability
would never have had seat on the bench
if these two Democratic leaders had not
fallen out.
During Cleveland's second term there
was vacancy on the bench and he nomi-
mated one of his personal and political
New York friends to fill it. Hill, who was
then senator, and his colleague, Murphy,
saw fit to consider this an insult and by
pleading senatorial courtesy prevailed on
a majority of the senators to vote against
a confirmation and the nomination was re-
jected. Then Cleveland sent in the name

We Can DO 1t.

Mirror and Farmer.
The historian Froude says; "If there
be one lesson which history clearly
teaches it is ths-that free nations can
not govern subject provinces. If they
are unable to admit their dependencies to
share their own constitution, the con-
stitution itself will fall in pieces from
mere incompetence for its duties
But Froude is back number What
he says of the teachings of history may
be true; we think it is; but history
always looks backward and what it sees
Is of no consequence to US. We are "a
free nation and we can govern subject
provinces. You bet we can, for Judge
Brown has said so, and what Judge
Brown says goes, when he holds the
balance Of power in the court. And
what we can do, we will. What are we
on the map for if it isn't to show other
nations that we can do what they can
not? What are we making history for
If it isn't to demonstrate that what has
been made before has been poor stuff
compared with our brand;
In order to do it we may have to dis.
card the notion that nations constitu-
ton tags after its flag indeed, accord,
ing to Judge Brown, we have discarded
our Constitution so far as our subject
provinces are concerned but that
simply shows that we can adapt our
selves to circumstances and do whatever
is necessary TO accomplish our purpose
We can do more than govern subject
provinces like Porto Rico and the Phil.
lppines; we can govern countries like
Cuba, which ought to be and are, accord
ing to our own declaration, free and
independent. In short we can do any
thing we have mind to TO any country
that is smaller than ours, and to very
little, weak countries we can do it with
out half trying.
Froude was all right in his day ant
generation but if he still takes an inter
est in such matters and will watch us he
will learn that he is all wrong now
His time was before Brown, the feather
weight iurist, broke into the law of the
land with the dictum that all the terri
tory of the United States is not United
States territory and that the Constitution
is not operative in any part of our body
polite until congress enacts that it shall
take hold there.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way 10 cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an intiamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
intamed you have II rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing,and when it Is entirely closed
deafness IS the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and t"is tube re
stored to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but

| South Hero, June 19.-The society
event of the season here was the marriS
lage of Miss Estella Lou Kinney,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thaddeus
l.. Kinney of this place, to James B.
Donoway of Middlebury, states at
torney of Addison county, at the Con-
gregational church and the reception
which followed at the brides home.
The ceremony took place at high noon,
and was somewhat novel, as the Presby-
terrain service was used. The officiating
clergyman was Rev. w. G. Clark of
Hardwick, assisted by Rev. L. B.
Tenney of the local church. The church
was filled, about 200 people being pres
ent, and presented a very pretty APP
pearance, the decorations being in white
and green.
At y o'clock the exquisite strains
from Lohengrin ushered in the bridal
party. The procession was headed by
Miss Laura j. Kinney, sister of the
bride, attired in white chiffon over blue
taffeta, who acted as the maid of honor
The bridesmaids, Miss Helen NJ. Price of
Burlington and Miss Rose l.. Donoway
VI Cl SCHucS, lOIlOWcup lHeY wore
white chiffon over pink taffeta and
carried boquets of pink roses. The
bride, wearing a beautiful gown Of
mousseline de sole over white taffeta, was
led to the altar by her father, who gave
the bride away. The bride was received
at the altar by the groom supported by
his best man, Mr.. Ezra Brainerd, Jr., of
Middlebury. Miss Ida Collins carried
the tray with the ring. The ushers
were: Miss Anna Martin, Miss Gather
Inc Livingston, Miss Elizabeth Donowav,
sister of the groom, and Miss May Como.
The ceremony at the church was fol-
lowed by reception at the home of the
brides father. The parlors were beauti-
fully decorated with festoons of ground
pine and elegant bouquets of roses and
carnations. The dining room in which
the banquet was served was very i'm
pressively decorated with ferns and
daisies. The prevailing colors of the
floral decorations In the principal draw
ing room were green and white. The
ample lawn, which surrounds the house
on three sides, was an inviting spot for
the many guests.
The bride received many beautiful and
costly gifts, among them beng a china
dinner set presented by the members VI
the Addison county bar.

The bold impudence of the Philadel-
phia city council in turning down John
Wanamaker's offer of two and half mil
lion dollars for certain street car fran
chises in that city, and giving the same
franchises without compensation to Quay
henchmen, is evidently not much of a
surprise to the citizens of the Quaker
City. They certainly have had time to
get used to Quayism. Having taken the
man, they are now ready for the
method.

y burlington dispatch dated Monday
says; John w. Ketchum of Vergennes,
VINO mas been prisoner of hope in
Chttendon county Jail for several weeks,
mas Just come within a point of being
bailed. The Inability of one of his
Oondsmen to remain in the city for any
length OF time, the absence of deputy
marshal to bring him be fore the United
state commissioner and now the COM
mlssloner's absence from town, have con-
splred to keep him in Jail several DAYS
longer Matters were arranged Satur-
day by which eleven citizens of Vergen-
mes were to come to Burlington Saturday
evening and put up the required security
for Mr' hetchums release. Six of them,
portion in their working clothes,
caught the train that arrives here at / 20.
They went before Commissioner johnson.
and he began an examination as to their
financial responsibility. He had one
man examined, and another partially ex-
amihed' when one of the prospective
bondsmen announced that he must take
the next tram home, whatever stood in
the way, and he left. The remainder of
the number had to go, too. The others
of the eleven intended to arrive on the
64O, but of course were HELPLESS as
the Others had returned home. Mean
time Mr.. ketchum is still in Jail and
COMMISSIONS Johnson is in Brattleboro
where he went this morning and will
remain until Wednesday. Another
feature of the transaction is that there
was no deputy marshal in town Satur-
day to escort Mr.. Ketchum from the
Jail totbe commissioners office.
