scribes as an "efferyescent ecstasy"
The plot is very simple but gives rise
to a series of mistakes and misunder-
standings that are most laughable and
entirely logical as we'll A young ar
tist receives a letter intended for his
uncle in which the said uncle is ad
vised by an old friend that an eighteen
year old daughter is forwarded in his
care. From the phrasing of the letter
the artist is led to believe that the
girl is an infant, and thinking the let
ter intended for him his blunder starts
the complications that ensue. A Ger
man baron and his wife bring their
first born to his studio to have it's por-
trait painted. The artist mistakes the
child for the baby of whose arrival
he has been advised, and from this
time tie developments are kept up un-
til t..ere is an accumulation of babies
ence and reduces the artist to the
verge OF insanl,y. Complications fol
low fast upon each other Until in the
end all is explained in most uneX-
pected denouement and the question
of Whose Baby are You" is salts
factorily answered. The comedy will
be seen at the Elks new theater next
Saturday afternoon and night.

RIVER RIPPLES.

Pine Bluff has not had a Memphis
boat for two weeks. The Lucille Now
land has made the effort to get here.
but has not been able to get nearer
than Rob Roy on account of the very
low state Of water. Several local
business firms who have merchandise
ordered by river have been sorely
disappointed at the failure of the
NoWland to reach here. The Graphic
was forced to return to a five column
paper because its newspaper stock
was ordered by river and failed to
arrive. The Steamer John n. Harbin
was brought to the landing at Mem
phis Monday and received freight for
Arkansas, going as high as Pine Bluff.
The Harbin is the lightest draft YES
sci coming to this port, and she will
navigate the shoal waters of the Ar
kansas without difficulty. She left
Memphis yesterday at ) p m. and will
arrive here Friday.
The Lucille Nowland went into
Memphis Tuesday with some $40 bales
of cotton and l 400 sacks of seed from
the lower Arkansas

It looks like it might be a long
low water stage

The suspension Of navigation has
very materially reduced the cotton
receipts by river at this place

FRIDAY, JUNE -, 1902.
THE GoVERNORSHIP.

Before another issue of the REGISTER
the state republican convention will have
been held at Montpelier and a state ticket
nominated. The REGISTER thinks that
the nomination for governor will be given
without any very serious opposition to
Gen. Mccullough, both in the interests
of party harmony, and the greater inter-
ests of Just, wise, and conservative
policies for the State. This will leave
the discussion in regard to our temper
ance laws to come up in its proper time,
and be fully considered without preiu-
dice. The temperance people of the State
will see at least, the propriety of such
action, nor do we believe that the many
who have been inclined, in this canvass,
to support Mr.. Clement, will be much, if
at all, opposed to it, for Vermonters are
proverbially fair minded, and want to
hear both sides of question before de-
Gliding what to do. In the present case
Mr.. Clement, attacking our prohlb-
itory law and its workings, has pre-
scented one side of the subject discussed.
But while many of us might agree that
the present law would better be radically
altered, and to that extent be willing
to endorse Mr., Clements position, this
wouldn't of necessity at all mean that we
thought high license was desirable; and
we feel that many who today
have enrolled themselves with Mr..
Clements support tiers, on secOn d
thought and careful consideration of
all sides of this question, will be de-
cidedly opposed to high license, and
most favorably inclined to some other
and wiser remedy for the troubles we are
in the present contest support Gen.
Mccullough, whose position is practi-
cally to leave to the people and legisla-
ture to decide at the proper time what
they consider best to do in this most
difficult matter.
So far as Mr.. Clement stands for high
license, we feel sure that the people of
the State will not sustain him now or
hereafter. Least of all will that large
body of delegates elected to support Mr..
Proctor, and who, many of them at least
are especially committed to the cause OF
temperance.
Principles are always greater than
men. and it is easy for those who have al
heart the public good to sink PERSONAL
ties, or even forget injuries, when they
see that such course will lead to the
ultimate triumph of those principles.

PRINCETON, n. j., June 10.-The
chief event in connection with Prince
tons one hundred and fifty-fifth annual
commencement, as it was the great

meeting of the board of trustees when
President Francis L. Patton resigned
the presidency and Professor Woodrow
Wilson, Mccormick professor of juris-
prudence and politics, was elected to
succeed him.
When seen afterward President Pat
ton made the following statement:
Il have resigned my office as presi-
dent of the university because | desire
to carry on my literary plans on lar
ger scale than l could do by retaining
the presidency. This is really all there
is to say. l trust the students will be
as loyal to my successor, President
Wilson, as they have been to me.

the university in the chair of ethics
and the philosophy of religion. l have

Situation.
The sharpest delegate contest ever
known in Vermont for the republican
nomination for governor has ended in
the assured triumph of no one of the
three active aspirants. Nomination in
the convention will be by majority over
all, and while Gen. j. G.. McCul-
Tough has strong lead over
has failed to secure lead over both,
the forthcoming convention with con-
ditions favorable to the choice of some
unheralded person.-(The Springfield
Republican,
Proctor, while being third in the race,
may be able to dictate the nomination
and the convention may go the way that
best suits his purpose. What that way
will be no one can now tell. The fea-
ture of satire of Saturdays caucuses was
the wonderful strength developed by MIR.
Clement, If he fails to secure the nom
nation, he has clearly demonstrated
that the party can no longer ignore the

McCullough.)
\ consideration not to be overlooked
Dy CONSTANT advocates OF the prOnlDl-
tory law. who are on the Proctor dele
CATION, is the fact that Clement, the
high license advocate leads Proctor by
more than 80 votes, and many of them
are likely to prefer to take no chances
of the selection of that gentlemen, but
rather to cast their vote for the strong
leader, Gen. Mccullough, who is a safe
man on the prohibition question and has
the support of most of the leading
temperance men of the state. In doing
this they will be consistent and aid in
securing the camplete triumph of the
principles of prohibition. If this is
done as is not impossible Gen. McCul-
Tough will be chosen on the first ballot.
-(Northfield News.)
Will not the more probable result be
a stampede of the prohibitionist dele
gates to Proctor to save the day for
prohibition, or, after a long contest, a
union of tired delegates on a fourth man
to settle bitter and prolonged fight
Either of the latter hypothesis looks
probable at the present moment. At
any rate it is nobody's fight yet, and
