MOI FOR CLETEL1ND.

The Hon. John H. Senter of this
city, the Vermont member Of the
Democratic national committee, has
accorded an interview to a representa-
tive Of the Burlington Free Press and
the associated press on his opinion of
Grover Cleveland as third term
candidate for the Presidency. Mr.
Senter said: Il have refused several
times to be interviewed on this sub
ject, but will say to you that the man
was never born who can be elected
President of the United States for a
third term. 1t is part of the unwrit
ten constitution of the United States
that such thing cannot be done.
Grover Cleveland is a very popular
citizen but hi, nomination for Presi-
dent next year would tear the Demo
cratic party right in two. When you
get around TO it, no one wants him for
a candidate and do not believe he
wants to try again. He is too bright
man to be chasing rainbows in that
way. > On being asked as to his pref
erence fo- candidate Mr.. Senter
said: Mr. Olney would make a
splendid candidate. His location is
bad, but l am not one who takes much
stock in location. should like tc
see Mr.. Olney nominated.

FIFE IN B4RRE.

Fire broke out in the George Til.
den house on Main street, in Barre,
about 4 80 O'Clock Sunday morning.
When the fire companies arrived fire
in different parts of the house had
made considerable Roadway, fam es
appearing in all parts of the hou SO, up
stairs and down and in the ell part,
The structure is built from brick
and before he companies arrived, a
hot air explosion in the front rooms
up stairs caused the bricks to bulge
out several inches. The companies
fought the fire we'll, saving the great
or portion of the walls in the main
part of the building but were unable
to save the ell which was almost en-
tirely ruined.
1t was plainly evident that the fire
was set by somebody and in several
parts of the house, as bundle of
rags saturated with kerosene was found
directly in the middle of the front
darlor down stairs, which had burned
large hole in the carpet but had
gone out without catching anything
in any other part of the room; also,
in another room of the house bundle
of rags had been set fire to in draw
er of bureau and this, too, had gone
out, leaving only small portion Of
wood burned.
The house is owned by Mrs. George
Tilden, who is residing in Shirley,
Mass, and has been unoccupied for
the past three months. 1t was in the
hands of the d. A. Perry Real Estate
Agency OF Barre. The house was
built by George Tilden about twenty
five years ago and was a handsome
structure in it's day. The all out
was rung in about 8 :45.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
PureSt of EmOIIientS and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Disfiguring
For Torturing, Dishguring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
Identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more effectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
It's "Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies, Of" Sanative, antiseptic cleans
ing" or "One-night treatment of the
hands," or "Single treatment of the
hair" or" Use after athletics, cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chafings, as well as for all purposes Of
the toilet, bath and nursery.

MRS. OSCAR N. Cross.

The city was shocked and saddened
on Sunday morning by the announce
ment that Mrs. Oscar N. Cross had
died suddenly during the night of
heart failure. The end evidently
came as size WAS sleeping and the fact
that she was dead was not discovered
until about Z O'Clock in the morning
when Mr.. Gross awoke A physician
was summoned and pronounced that
she had been dead for four OF five
hours. There was no warning of the
approach of the sad event as when
Mrs. Gross retired on Saturday night
she was as we'll as usual During the
evening she had visited several of the
stores about the city and spent some
time visiting with her family before
retiring. For several years Mrs. Gross
had been in poor health and had bee
treated for heart disease, but of late
had been as we'll as usual and was able
to attend to her household duties.
The funeral was held from her late
home on East State street at O'Clock
on Tuesday afternoon. The services
was conducted by the Rev. A. N.
Lewis, rector Of Christ church, of
which she was member. Her broth
ers-in-law, DR.. r. II. Newton, H.
julius Volholm, f. H. Winslow, L.
Bart Gross, and George H. Cross of st.
Johnsbury and her brother, E. P.
Richardson, acted as bearers and

Mr.. and Mrs. George Richardson and

lowing survive: Mrs. r. H. Newton,
Mrs. H. j. Volholm, Mrs. Frank Wins
low, and E. P. Richardson of this
city and Frank H. Richardson of Nor
ristown, N. j. Her mother died about
ten years ago but her father survives
her. She married Oscar N. Gross or
December %, 1875 and since that time
has always lived at his fathers home
where she has had the general direc
ton of the household affairs. ShC
leaves one daughter, Miss H. JUL;
Cross, and one daughter died in in
fancy.
AS most of her life was spent il
Montpelier, Mrs. Cross had a wild,
circle of acquaintance here, and will
her an acquaintance was always
friend. Possessed of sweet DISPOSE
ton and a manner which attracted al
to her she gained and held to re
markable degree, the affection of al
who knew her, and her death bring
genuine regret to many a. Montpelie
home. But it is to her immediate fam
lily that the loss comes with an almos
overpowering force, for she was al
ideal wife and mother and the HON
over which she has SO long and so gra
iously presided will have the heartfelt
sympathy of all in their great bereave
ment.

Dear Sir: Most mixed paints are
either adulterated or short measure.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is neither, so it
cannot be classed with mixed paints.
That's why it takes fewer gallons of
Devoe to paint house than it does of
mixed paint, and it lasts longer for
the same reason.
Ferguson & Thompsons store. Del
hi. N. Y, was painted some years ago
with thirtytwo gallons of mixed
paints.
