appears to be brutal murder occurred
about 1 o'clock yesterday in the yard OF
Sheriff r. B. Turbull, at Lawrencevillc,
Va, when William Barner, colored,
struck Tony McClaud, also colored, with
the blade of an axe just above the right
ear, penetrating the brain and causing
instant death. The only eyewitnesses,
and they can hardly be so considered,
were the sheriff and friend, Mr.. l. b.
Williams. They were all in the grove
when Mr.. Williams heard a slight noise,
and, turning, saw McClaud falling. Be-
fore they could reach him and while he
lay PROSTATE on the ground, Barner struck
him second blow about the head with
the axe, but the deadly work was done by
the first, and McClaud died befor those
near by could get to him. Barner was
Immediately arrested and lodged in Jail.
When asked what motives the prisoner
could have had for killing McClaud, the
sheriff replied that he could conceive
OF none. The dead man was much older
than the other, but they often quarreled,
and the day before had fight,

from bathroom window in the second
story floor of the Washington Asylum
Hospital about 6 o'clock last night and
died within two minutes after striking
the ground thirty feet below.s 1t is

fore going to the bathroom she had been
sewing and chatting with other inmates
of the institution, and no one suspected

suicide. There was nothing TO indicate
that she had medi;ated suicide butts given
out that she could not have fallen from the

COLORADO SENATORSHIP.

'Henry NJ. Teller will be the next
Senator from Colorado" So declared
Edward o. Wolcott yesterday. "Doyou
mean by that" he was asked, "that you
will retire from the fight and consider
that by the action of your republican
opponents Wednesday you have no
chance?" 'tNo | will not withdraw.
| will fight to the bitter end, but |
mean the result of Wednesdays treach-
cry was compact to return Mr.. Teller
to the Senate. 1t was blow like Bru-
tus struck. The State has been be-
trayed; the air is full of treason and
treachery. Regarding Mr.. Stewart, |
will say nothing personal at present, but
the people of the State will attend to
him in future"
The State Senate met yesterday after
noon and received the reportof the co M
mittee on credentials, which recommend
ed the seating of all members exceptS. v.
Newell, of Central City, who through an
oversight of the last legislature, which
redistricted the State, was elected from
a district which already had hold-oyer
senator. This legal tangle was referred
to the committee on elections. The
other members were sworn in, and the
Senate adjourned for the day.
In the House the only action taken
was the appointment Of a committee on
credentials. 1t consisted of five anti
Wolcott republicans and four democrats.
An invitation was sent yesterday 10
the members who adhered to Senator
Wolcott to attend a caucus to divide the
patronage of the House. Thereby was;
''We decline to participate in the dis
tribution of any democratic patronage
of the House."

Around Easter cluster the sublimest
hopes. From it we may draw inspira-
tions that will give new meaning to
life if we cherish the day with sim
pliclty in its highest significance.
Let thoughts of trade only, be associ-
ated with the season, and let it be
made the occasion for exhibition of
dress, and we shall miss the deeper
significance with its finer joy. At
this season, both the spiri6 of spring
and that of Easter have their rights in
our lives. but Easter itself should
have it's full religious 81 gnifcance I'M
marred by the things that only dis
tract us from the thoughts of our I'M

ENFORCE THE LICENSE LAW.

The affair at Middlebury ON Satur-
day night has failed thus far to call
from the daily press of the State as
much comment as might have been ex-
pected, but commentator is due one
paper for the stand it has taken This
paper is the Rutland Herald, and
from the fact that it was one of the
potent influences that caused the over
throw of prohibition its utterances on
the first fruits of the license system
are of peculiar interest Says the
Herald:
1--WE note rumor that the Addison
House. Middlebury, is about to lose its
license in consequence of the disgrace
full disturbances i'll that town Satur-
day night. The whole State is wait
ing for the license commissioners of
that town to act. They need not think
that the public will let this matter
drop. We are not living under the
prohibi DRY law which no one respect
ed. Middlettury's insult to the moral
sense of the community is public
scandal. 1t is now up to the commits
sioners. Other papers DR.
dict that Middlebury will vote no next
spring. This is happily the privilege
of any town under local option when
license proves failure. But Middle
bury has something to do which will
not rest until next spring. 1t is con-
fronted by condition What do the
commissioners propose to do about the
Addison House, Investigate or hush
the matter up? One they can do and
the other they cannot. "
The Herald is absolutely right in
this matter. One good feature of the
license law is the right to regulate and
control given to the commissioners,
and if the Middlebury board does its
apparent duty, the lesson will be a
wholesome one for every license hold
er in the State. The advocates of IL
cense have a serious work to do in
demonstrating that the new system is
better than the old, and it must be
conceded that bad beginning has
been made. There is one thing about
it all that is as certain as the chang
ing of the seasons, the license law
must be enforced or it will not sur
vive. The old law met its death be-
cause it was not enforced, and just so
sure as affairs like that at Middlebury
occur at intervals during the next
two years the license system will be
knocked higher than Gilroy's kite by
the next Legislature.

If any one will stop and think minute,

he will readily see why it cures disease.
Consumption is produced by a little germ
not one but millions. When the lungs
are weak they swarm into them, and
gnaw down the paper-like walls. This
decomposition of the lungs is consump-
ton. These germs only thrive where
there is weakness. The person never lived
who contracted consumption with pair
of strong, healthy lungs. "Blood Wine"
prevents consumption by keeping the
lungs healthy. 1t cures consumption by

scheme are as follows: Above the

descent of the holy spirit of God; to

blematic of the sacraments of the

The emblems above the choir gallery
represent, on one side, the tiara and
keys. symbolic of the triple power
of the Pope; on the opposite side the
crosier, mitre and heart, repre- ;enting

It's pitiful sight to look upon a per-
son who is wasted to a mere shadow

gestion of comfortP If after seeing such
a person, and having the impression left

remember her for days and weeks, you
should suddenly run across the same per-

checked, pale, stopped woman, with q

EASTER ANGELS.

When llfe's sweet joys have from us
howu,
Gladness has veiled its face in tears,
Doubt cries aloud from spectral fears
"The past is dead--is sealed in stone. Z"
In the chill gloom of storm-swept
night,
In silent grief beside our dead
Can love bereft be comforted?
We wait and yearn for coming light.
Shall Faiths dark night ere turn to
day?
Shall Hope, so crushed, alive remain?
Can Peace win victory from pain,
Or JOY through suffering find way I?
The earth is hushed. the solemn air
Gives back no echo to our moan;
Our deepest midnight darker grown,
flushed is the very breath of prayer.
The Easter dawn throws, still and
bright,
Its rosy banners 'thwart the west
Angelic pres ence meets his guest
Who walks by faith and not by sight.
FaitL waits, Hope lives, and Peace
at length
Gains perfect triumph over pain;
For Love, in mortal must remain,
Celestial JOY, the conqueror's
strength.

whole was beautifed with palms,
lilies and roses. The palms and flow
nrs used in this decoration, and in the
other sanctuary decorations as well,
were presented by the pupils of the 2,
3, A, 8, 6, 7, and 8th grades at the
school, and the beautiful gold lace
which embellished the front of the
altar, while valuable in itself, is of
far greater worth because it is the
gift of the little ones of the kinder
garten department.. The children
also had prominent part in the
early mass on Sunday when the child
ren's choir of fifty members rendered
a pretty musical program which in
cluded very effective communion
hymn, and the anthems. Jesus

beautiful set of cut glass and silver
cruets.
There have been no more faithful
workers III the enterprise or building
the new church than the ladies of
the congregation and to them great
credit is due. Their latest gift is the
splendid set of gold and white vest
ments and the lace alb worn by Father
O'Sullivan at Sundays mass. The
decoration of the altar and sanctuary
was the work of the 81 ;ters of the
convent.
As this article is not intended to
describe more than the opening day
services, the splendid work of the
Granite Construction Co., which
reared the building, and of Mr.. Sew
erance who had charge of the work
of finishing the interior will be given
merely a passing notice, leaving the
detail until everything shall have
been completed and the noble structure

which it was built.

at withdrawing, and perhaps this is
we'll, for their duty in this instance
was merely to investigate the unfortu-
nate accident to Mrs. Bennett. Never
theless it might have been well II the
board had probed deeper into the gen
eral management of the institution and
reported more fully upon it. There
has been and is at present feeling III
some quarters of the State that the
Waterbury hospital is an institution
that will bear watching. This spirit
is the result of past experiences and it
is kept alive by some who for certain
reasons, largely personal, have spite
against the hospital. This spirit
should not exist without reason be-
cause the institution is one of great
Importance to Vermont, and when II
feeling of distrust prevails concerning
a public institution of this kind it is
hampered in its efforts to do the best
work possible. There is nothing in
this report to create the suggestion of
a belief that the hospital is not con-
Quoted in highly creditable manner,
as those who are intimately acquaint-
ed with the workings we'll know 1T
is, and any attempt ON the part of the
press or individuals to create wrong
impression concerning it is an offense
that should not be condoned. There
is spirit of disloyalty to Vermont
institutions abroad in the State, which
comes to the surface whenever oppor-
tunity offers. This is something to
deplore, and it should be eliminated,
for whether an institution of this sort
is good or bad it is part of Vermont,
and Vermonters should be loyal to it.
If it is good, loyalty will keep it so,
and if it is bad, disloyalty won't make
it better. Let us be loyal.

CHAPLAIN MILBURN DEAD

Washington, April 1.-THE Rev.
William Henry Milburn. the venerable
blind chaplain of the United States
Senate, died in Santa Barbara, Cal,
April 10.
Mr.. Milburn, accompanied by his
two nieces, the Misses Timley, left
Washington for Pacific coast about a
year ago. The chaplain was in broken
health. The change brought no great
improvement in his condition and
when Congress met in December he
forwarded his resignation to Washing
ton, but it was never acted on. The
deceased was a native of Philadel-
phia, where he was born i'll 1928.
