The tuberculosis Commission appointed
by Governor Murphy to establish in this
State Sanitarium for consumptives, have
a most important duty to perform in the
selection of site. Pure and invigoratine
air, free from all dust, malarial germs and
other deleterious conditions, is a prime
essential. Such sites may be found either
in the hilly and mountainous regions in
salubrious piney woods of South Jersey
Pure air and shelter from bleak winds will
be the combined conditions sought for
The pine forests about Brow's Mills should
not go unexplored and fully considered il
this first and most important step.
1t is rumored that Col Green has in view
the erection of building on the site of the
former Stokes feed store, on Cooper street
for post Office building, and that the post
office authorities are considering its accept
ance. The location of the post office is a
public question from shin to core and
from core back to skin again, " and for that
reason we offer our protest to the removal
of this public convenience to this narrow
thoroughfare. Woodbury. has had its ex-
perience with Cooper street location, and
we recall that there was public rejoicing
when it was brought to its present location
on the principal street of the city. AT
much less expense than the erection of a
new building on that site would involve,
Col. Green can provide ample room at the
present location, and it seems to us that if
he refuses to so accommodate the patrons Ct
the office, the people should insist on its re-
moval to site within the business limits,
on Broad street.

THE CASE OF THE KING.
The Operation Described The Appsn

London, June ga version Of the oper-
alton of the King from a source which
there Is good reason to believe possesses
positive knowledge of the subject, says
tnat the physicians advised the operation
a week earlier. but the King declined as
l1nG as a possibility remained of carrying
out the coronation programme. The opera
ton itself. when it finally took place, oc-
Cupied scarcely five minutes.
Nhat happened was this: Sir Freder
ick Treves made a quick incson about
four inches long through the skin and a
thick layer of adipose tissue to the abdo-
minal muscles directly over the abscess,
which had been located by a digital exa-
mination.
An instrument resembling a blunt probe
was then used to push through the mus
cles, without cutting them, into the pus
sack within. A large quantity Of pus was
Immediately released.
An instrument resembling a scissors,
with the outside instead Of the inside
blades sharpened. was then slid along the
groove on the side of the probe into the
abscess. This instrument was kept closed
until the probe was withdrawn Then 1t
was opened, making a free opening within
the sack. The pus released by this means
amounted to almost twenty-five ounces,
The wound was thoroughly deluged with
antiseptic solutions and a drainage tube
was inserted.
The wound was then closed with sutures,
minal cavity and no attempt was made to
remove the vermiform appendix.
1t was taken for granted that the alb
scess itself practically destroyed IL and
that no subsequent operation would be
necessary,

The candidacy of O. II. Richardson for
city representative on a high license plat
form was heartily endorsed. There were
rumors this afternoon that Postmaster l..
w. Shedd would be a candidate for city
representative on this platform instead OF
Mr.. Richardson but as he did not care to
run and Mr.. Richardson consented his
name was not presented.
The following petition was presented and
signed by large number present:
We the legal voters of the city of
Montpelier believing that high license To-
cal option law ought to be passed by the
next session of the Legislature and be-
lievng that man should be elected gov
ernor of this State who believes in local
option and who can stand fairly and
squarely on the local option plank recent
~ inserted in the republican platform. do
hereby respectfully request and petition
Percival w. Clement of Rutland to an
nounce himself as a candidate for the Of
flee OF governor Of this State
The outlook for a hot campaign the COM
ing fall as far as city representative is
concerned, seems good. Frank Nj. Cory
having announced himself as a candidate
endorsing the republican platform adopted
by the State convention, the Clement high
license faction presenting o. II. Richard
son az their candidate and 1t is rumorel
that the prohibition element OF the city
will also present a candidate.
The Democratic party will also have
a regular candidate although 1t is claimed
by the high license party that should
Clement run on an independent ticket he
would poll a good share of the democratic
votes
Should Clement decide to run for gov
ernor on an independent ticket his sup
porters will probably hold a caucus OF
representative, otherwise they will pro-
baby try and nominate their candidate in
the regular republican caucus, failing
which some and probably majority would
support the regular republican nominee.

moillo Count y Nomination..

Montpelier, July 1.-The trouble which
has existed for the past few weeks be-
tween the Master Builders association and
the Carpenters Union has been adjusted
and the latter gain practically all their
demands. The chief end obtained by the
carpenters is that all 1ourneymen carpen-
ters shall be paid $50 a day for nine hours.
This result was brought about at a meet
ing of committees from the Carpenters
Union and the Master Builders associa
ton held Monday night, which lasted till
nearly 2 o'clock this morning.
The difficulty was of long standing, 1t be-
ing more than a month ago that the trou-
BILE resulted in an open breach. All the
members Of the Carpenters Union who
were employed by the members of the
association left their work and refused to
return until an agreement was reached.
This caused considerable cessation of
building operations and large number Of
carpenters left the city, temporarily at
least. There was some building carried on.
nevertheless.
The agreement reached puts an end to
the difficulty. The carpenters will return to
work at once and there is to be no dis
elimination in employment and oil work
under construction at the present time
shall be considered as fair work.
In regard to the union allowing contrac-
tors to remain as members of the union,
to which the master builders object, the
former states that Of itself it has no au-
thority in the matter but it has referred
the question to higher authority for in
structions and II the union finds that the
matter can be regulated and controlled 1t
will endeavor to do so.
