EDWIN WILCOX

In Crown Point, died, January 1S,
Edwin Wilcox. Long years he lived in
Bridport, as his native place and of late
years his residence has been in Crown
Point, N. Y.
In the passing away of Mr.. Wilcox the
home and community has met with an
unspeakable loss.
In early life he enlisted on the side of
best things and warmly sustained the
church. He was honorable, social,
fraternal in all his business relations
He was most endeared husband and
father and his sons and daughters and
wife rise up and call him blessed" so
we would in language of hymn Join in
such a testimonial.
With us his name shall live
Embalmed with all our hearts can give
Our praise and our tears.
1t is an untold blessing to have such a
father thus to honor and may God bless
you all. b.

JUST PUBLISHED
BY
AMERICAN PUBLISHING co.,
MIDDLEBURy, w.,
GAY & BIRD, LONDON. ENGLAND.
VOLUME l. OF THE SECOND
EDITION OF
ELLEN,
or
Whisperings of an
Old Pine,

Revised and enlarged. Volume
II. is practically completed, and
will follow within few weeks.
In the Preface the author
says:
The independent positions of the first
edition in regard to the nature of matter,
and the phenomena of sound, light, heat,
electricity, etc, founded upon the uri-
versatility of natural law, have been no
where answered; but on the contrary,
are being endorsed and accepted by all
of the more advanced physicists and
scientists.
And yet they are entirely revolution
airy. For they demonstrated that the
undulatory theories, taught in every text
book of physics, were absurd and impos-
sible; and that the Newtonian theory of
matter, as expressed, although in har-
mony with mathematics, was, to say the
least very misleading. The undulatory
theories are still taught in all schools and
colleges, because there is nothing else to
teach; but there is no sensible person
who has kept abreast of recent dis
coveries in cathode and y ray light and
in radium, who does not know that they
are wholly false.
The New York Sun in recent issue
says:
DIR. George F. Barker, emeritus profess
sor of physics of the University of Penn
sylvania, who, since Crookes' first expert
ments with cathode rays, has made a
thorough study of all known kinds of
radio activity, said to-day that the rays
sent out by the newly discovered ele-
ment radium had already begun to revo-
lutionize the electrical, physical and
chemical sciences. These rays, DIR. Bar
ker said, are composed of a combination
of cathode and Roentgen rays and are
discharged from the radium without cleo
trical assistance. They proved that the
atom of hydrogen was not, as generally
supposed the smallest particle known to
the material world.
1T is difficult, he said, "for the ply
sicist, brought up on the ether, light
wave theory, to go back to the seven
teenth century and discuss Newton's
corpuscular theory; but that is what we
have to do for one of the two kinds of
rays thrown off by radium is made up of
corpuscles. You must understand that
this new element, radium, is possessed of
many strange properties. Since its dis
covery some three years ago, no particle
of it has failed to send out its rays I'M
aided. The question naturally asked is.
Where, then, does all this energy come
from? Its constant dispersion of rays
seems to DESTROY the old Fundamental
theory of the conservation of energy, and
we have left what seems like perpetual
motion"

Oldest Woman Vermont.

The oldest person in Vermont, and
possibly the oldest in New England, Mrs.
Honora Mccarthy of South SALISBURY
is preparing to celebrate her 114th birth
day. Mrs. Mccarthy does not recall the
day of the month on which she was born,
but states that it was on the first Friday
in Lent of 1890. That she is ia years of
age was confirmed by the late Rev. John
G. ODwyer of Bennington by records
found in the parish while on visit to
Ireland several years ago. Mrs. Nc
earthly says she is confident that she is
going to live until she is 100 years old.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

water, visited his home in Swanton last

with a chair and his son with his fists.

larger number of assaults and temporary
lunatics than any other known brand in

According to reports from that section
the Gazette is right. Travelling men
say that a peculiar combination of
double distilled, copper bottomed, green
alcohol yellow benzine, red vitrol, all

illicit distilleries there that would kill
even yellow devils at forty rods, and

Ill Stuffed Up

That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.

medicines of different kinds, giving each

CASE DECIDED.
Judge De Bolt, at the conclusion of
argument in the ejectment case of
Blanche Lewis VS.. Ioela K. Kahinu yes

cision for the defendant. Frank An

DEMURRERS OvERRULED.
Judge Robinson rendered a decision
overruling the demurrers of several de-
PENDANTS in the suit of Ellen Aibertina
Polyblank, trustee, and Stella Keomai-
lani Cockett, beneficiary, VS.. David Ka-
wananakoa and others, and giving the
demurring defendants leave to answer
within five days. The suit is a bill in
equity to foreclose a mortgage covering
certain land in Honolulu.
David kawananakoa, Jonah Kalani-
anaole, Abigail w. Kawananakoa and
Elizabeth K. Kalanianaole demurred
separately but on substantially similar
grounds. They claimed that there was
a misjoinder of parties in the summon
ing of the wives of Kawan&nakoa and
kalanianaole as parties defendant, be-
cause the note and mortgage were Civ
en- to secure the payment of a portion
of the purchase price of the land and
premises covered by the mortgage
hence no interest of the wives appear
ed in the suit.
The court finds that, though it may
be true that neither Mrs. Kawanana-
koa nor Mrs. Kalanianaole is a neces-
sary party, each is nevertheless prop
er party. They Joined in the mortgage
for the purpose of releasing all right
or possibility of dover, and the release
OF dover is therefore a fact to be proved
by the compliments. If the complain =
ants failed to prove this part of their
allegations the respondents, Abigail w.

parties, to be bound by the decree at
the election of the plaintiff, and neces-
sary parties, without whom the court
cannot proceed to judgment"
THE GOVERNMENTS PART.
Another ground of demurrer by the
defendants already named is that the
Territory of Hawaii was an improper
party defendant. because the Territory
cannot be sued without it's consent &C
cording to the civil laws.
"Conceding for the purposes of the
argument" Judge Robinson says that
this section and the following sections
have the effect which counsel claims
for them, still / fail to see how his
clients can take advantage of these
provisions, as this statute was not en-
acted for the benefit of individual liti-
giants, but solely for the benefit of the
government, in order to preclude pos
sible embarrassment to it in the dis
charge of it's functions by the bring
ing by it's citizens of numerous suits
to establish asserted private rights due
from it or remedy and redress fancied
private wrongs suffered from it through
the fundamentally of it's officers"
The demurrer of defendant German
Savings & Loan Society was merely on
the ground that the bill did not state
facts sufficient to constitute cause of
action. 1t is overruled with the others.
