The farmers Of Vermont never had
better opportunity to assert themselves in
the naming Of candidate for governor
than at the present time Concerted ac
ton, the right man as standard bearer
and their victory would be a foregone con-
clnsion.
Why SO sollcitous for the farmer Of Yer
mont2 He has shown pretty conclusively
that he Is able to take care Of his own In
terests The experience in recent legisla-
lures has been that the farmer gets all he
asks for, whether the others will or no,
In fact, If there is favored class in the
state 1t Is that class whose members till
the soil. And as the most numerous, they
are entitled to much consideration, But
it Is idle talk to attempt to stir up dis
tiuction Of class In this search for gov
erner, We do not want governor for
one particular section of the state, much
less should we want one for particular
class The interests Of the farmers are
safeguarded thoroughly by their represen-
tation in the legislature and they have no
reason to believe that those interests win
be any better conserved with one Of their
number in the governors chair

Every mother should put aside one
hour a day III which to read or tell stc-
ries to her children. 1t is best to have
the same time every day In many
homes where this has been the rule
from habyhood the story hour is looked
forward to By the children as the best
one Of the day. Often neighbors chill
dren are gathered in, and a valuable
missionary work may be done in this
way for children whose mothers do not
or cannot take time TO read to them.
III families where the children are Of
different ages and sexes it is sometimes
a difficult problem to lind books which
will interest all, but by d little judi
cious selection this can usually be man
aged, and the mother can direct the
ehild's own reading along the indiyid-
ual lines which have special interest
for him. Chicago Tribune.

The largest number of women EN-
ployees in any line of work are EN-
ployed ia the United States postal serv-
ice. Some OF the highest salaried wom-
en- in the world are employed thus.
More than one-third of them are past
middle age. and many are past seventy
years. Many of the women are mail
wagon drivers, having long and lone
some trips in uninhabited parts of the
country. In great numbers they are
employed in the rural free delivery.
Nearly all the experts In the dead letter
Office are women. They have to per-
form tasks which to the average per
son would seem impossible. 1t is their
duty to take charge of the pieces Of
mail which go astray every year, and
they must see that these waits get to
their proper destinations if possible
and if not they are returned to the
senders. Many Of the rural post Offices
are intrusted to women. The work is
usually light, and it is the general onin-
ion that women in such positions have
performed tie best work for the de-
partment.

assistance. but when aid arrived it was
fourd that the old woman had sue
embed. The burning bed was speed
m, thrown out. 1t is believed that the
iirbted fire in the CRATE had caused
some article TO ignite. and apparently
before the old woman was able to ex-
tinguish it, suffocation oVercame her.
Daeeased was woman of S. years and
was well known to generations OF
lady bathers at Salthill, where she had
long carried on a private bathing es-
enlistment. An inquest on the body
was afterwards held, and after hearing
evidence the jury returned a verdict
of death through extensive burns re-
caived accidentally.

Railway Fatality in Lnrgan.

As one of the CANCERS employed by
the Great Northern Railway company
was proceeding to his work early on
Saturday he discovered the shockingly
mutilated remains of a man on the line,
a short distance below Sherwood
bridge. The head had been completely
severed from the trunk. and was found
lying about thirty yards from the lat
ter. The Edward street police We're

took the body in charge. They found
that the deceased was James McEvoy
a weaver, aged about so years, who
resided in Ballinamoney, quite close to
where the remains We're found. De-
ceased was seen in Lurgan about 10
o'clock on Friday night, under the in
fluence of drink, and it is surmised
that as he was going along the rail-
way line, which was short route home
for him, he was overtaken by the 1885
express train from Lurgan and killed.
An inquest was held in the afternoon
by Coroner Atkinson and jury, in the
workhouse, and, after formal evidence
of Identification and finding of the body,
a verdict OF accidental death was re-
turned.

inouest at the Mater Misericordiae hos
initial on the body of a man named
James Connor, widower, who died in
that institution on Christmas morning
from the effects of injuries caused by a

1t appeared from the evidence that
deceased and two men named Waters
and Byrne were drinking on Christmas
eye in the room occupied by the last
named man in a tenement house, los
Tpper Dorset street. Conner left to go
TO his own room on the same landing
about i o'clock. Shortly afterwards
B,r-ne. hearing a fall, went out on the
landing, where he found deceased lying
rrostrate. He raised him UP and put
him into his (Connor's) own room. and
left him sitting on a stool. Some hours
later when Waters was leaving the
house fer his own residence, 80 Hard
wicke street, he found Conner lying on
the stairs in a pool Of blood and quite
unconscious. He raised an alarm and
had the injured man conveyed to a
hospital. where he died.

This morning the extensive furniture

broken into, probably on the previous

Fatality Near Kanturk.

On Monday Coroner James Byrne
held an inquest at Durmsicare, near
Culiin. relating to the death on St
Stephens day of local farmer named
Thomas Murphy. From the evidence it
appeared that on Christmas eve>the de-
ceased returned from Millstreet and on
entering his house complained to his
wife that he fell off a rather high fence
when taking a short cut for home. He
had a cut on the forehead, from which
some blood was flowing. Later on he
appeared somewhat worse and DR..
Ryan of Cullin was promptly sum-
moned, when it was discovered that
deceased was developing symptoms of
conclusion of the brain DR.. Ryan did
all that medical skill could suggest to
save the mans life, but on st. Stephens
morning he succumbed The medical
evidence was to the effect that the de-
ceased died from the effects of a wound
which might be caused by a fall or a
blow. A verdict in accordance with
the medical testimony was returned

EXECUTION at Sligo.

. On Tuesday at Sligo. j. Doherty, an
elderly farmer, was hanged for the
murder of his son. Patrick. %. The
old man desired to marry young girl.
and his son objected and succeeded in
breaking off the match. This exas-
perated James Doherty. who shot his
son dead with a revolver. The body
of Patrick bore four bullet wounds,
and the head had been smashed in. At
the first trial the jury disagreed, but
Doherty was convicted at the second.
Doherty walked firmly to the scaffold.
and when the rope was placed round
his neck he said, Lord, forgive me for
my sins" When the executioner. one

appeared to be instantaneous.
