Coming Invention of the Age.

Akron, Ohio, Feb. l8.-Thomas W.
McCue Of this city has invented . ma
chine which Thomas A. Edison declared
to be the coming invention Of the age.
For five years Mr.. McCue has been at
work upon an electrical machine which
will make dentistry and surgical opera
tions OF all kinds painless. And that he
hiss succeeded has been demonstrated
by the fact that by its means live nerves
have been removed from teeth without
the patient feeling any pain.
Mr.. McCue machine in effect "short
circuits" the pain and prevents it from
reaching the brain. A feat has been ac-
compllshed which all electricians declar-
ed to be impossible, namely, the reduc
ton of the electrical current to the one
huudredrh- -thousandth part of volt.

Art Exhibition.

The Art League OF the Woman's Club
OF this city today opened the doors OF
their room on Fifth street to the public.
The walls are covered with pictures from
the Chicago art gallery, and with a col
lection OF curios secured from residents
OF this city.
The most attractive picture and by far
the most luable is the old painting
made by VanDyck in the early part OF
the l7th century, which was the proper
ty Of the late Mrs. Eyster Of Frui.a.
The painting had been in the family for
nearly two centuries and is worth great
deal of money. The title of the paint.
ing is 1.-THE Page and Armour" 1t was
brought to this country from Holland
many years ago. and it is said that since
the death OF Mrs. Eyster the proof of the
genuinsness OF the painting cannot be
found, although friends OF that lady say
that she has repeatedly told them she
had all the papers to prove that the work
was that Of tho famous painter.
There is also on exhibition a deed for
100 acres OF land IN Virginia, made out
in the time of King George the Third
and dated 1725. Another old manu-
script which attracted special attention
was a letter from President Buchanan,
written to a friend just previous to his
election.
Aside from the articles mentioned
there are hundreds OF articles displayed
which belong to families in this city.
To one who enjoys curioe, many hours
could be spent in looking at and exam
lining the various things in the exhibit.
The committee having charge OF the
exhibit is composed OF Mrs. Dyke, Mrs.
White and Misses Swift, Bull. Forty and
Dewey.

be one of the mostnovel and inter-

Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1902-04-17

In this connection we may say that
despite the flattering attention this
paper has received from the McCul-
Tough journals, not one of them has
during the past fortnight, undertaken
to controvert the facts set forth by us
two weeks since as TO the respective
records of Messrs. Proctor and Nc
Cullough as Yermonters. II the
bowling dervish of the Montpelier
Journal, for instance, who delights in
purposely misapplying our editorial
comment and suppressing what ought
to be given to his readers to make our
position clear, will kindly reproduce
that article in his columns, and make
such answer as he can he viii estab-
fish a record for fairness that has
hitherto escaped him.
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1902-04-17
A QUESTION OF HONOR.

II there is any one virtue that YER
monters ascribe unto themselves, and
for which they have become noted the
world over, it is rugged honesty.
They do not assume the mental alert
ness, the quick business perception,
the snowy erudition or the superficial
culture that the people of certain states
and sections possess. But in offset to
these, Vermont is known widely as a
land where honor and honesty prevail
and where falsehood and corruption
have no standing.
This is the record of the past, and
well may we rejoice in it. But in our
enjoyment of it we should remember
that like other good things it should
be guarded zealously. Like a good
family name, it can only be upheld by
careful attention and scrupulous effort.
When seeds of evil fruit make their
way in. they should be uprooted.
Wrong in any guise should be cast ont.
We cannot afford to let any plant,
however handsome to the eye, flourish.
which gives off pollution.
Not only in our private life, our
man-to-man dealings, is it necessary
to safeguard Vermont honor, but in
those broader fields of public effort
that concern our state as a whole.
We refer to politics. In the past, the
interruption Of our civil life has ex-
tended to politics, and Vermont has
been a star Of hope for the union.
While other states have been sunken at
times-and some of them constantly
