 Being Local Names.
Mrs. H. E. Armitage EntertainS Very Pleasantly Originally
 and Uniquely.

Mrs H. k. Armitage entertained a large number of ladies on Saturday, at her home, Ivydene, on South Marina street. The parlors were beautifully decorated with cut flowers and potted plants presenting a beautiful appear ance.
 The form of entertainment was at once original and unique and the author of it was MT. Armitage. It was a guessing game, the subjects of the guessing being people of Pres cott. They were described, or DOT trayed in rhyme, and the game was to then guess the person so described An illustration of few will give a better idea of the nature of the guess ing. One read thus:
 My first is made out of leather;
 My second, is made just the same;
 You always will see them together
 And my whole is a Prescott man S
 name."
 The answer to the above is Shumate Another was
 "Those you have in your mouth
 You go and get filled.
 And those on your farm
 Must be carefully tiihd."
 The answer being Akcrs.
 A third was
 GA bird in the hand is worth two in
 the bush,
 Is proverb not hard to explain;
 But who is the boy Win none in
 his hand . That's entitled to two in his name. '' Answer Jay Martin.
 There were from eighteen to twenty in all of these conundrums making a very good afternoon of guessing, and at the conclusion, Mrs. B. D. Billing hurst, Ms. W. s. Goldsworthy and Mrs. Ed Lit were tie for first prize and On a cut Mrs. Goldsworthy was the winner.
 After the close of the games and of prizes delicious re- were served, the hostess being assisted during the afternoon by Mrs. E. A. Kastner, the Misses Greenwood and Miss Armitage.

DEATH OF W. E. WIcKs.
Was One of the Popular and Exem- plary Young Men of this Section.

W. E. Wicks, one of the best known
 residents of this county, and unIver-
 sally we'll liked, passed away yester-
 day afternoon at four o'clock at his
 home at Mayer. The news was receiv-
 ed in this city with feelings of sincere
 regret, for we doub5. if the deceased
 had an enemy among the many with
 whom he was known, here as we'll as
 elsewhere. Upright always, and with fellowship that would do to tie to,
 always genial and trustworthy, he
 became endeared to all. Years ago he became afflicted with locomotor- ataXia, and while he realized the end was to come sooner or later, his characteristics never changed, and
 to the last his farewell word was peculiarly striking of his personality.
 He passed away peacefully and knowing that the end was near.
 Mir. Wicks had been a resident of this section for nearly twenty years, drifting with the tide to Arizona, as he often said. in the hope that his fortune would be made here. Shortly after arriving in Prescott he became identified with the Walnut Grove dam, and later went to Mayer, as the confidential accountant of Joe Mayer. He gained the esteem of the commu- nifty in trait that never left him, that of honesy, when he accidentally picked up on the eet a sum of mon- ey of value of nearly one thousand
 dollars, that was retuned 10 its owu- CT. From that day to the present he was better known as "Old Homes ty" among his friends. He exempli- fed that trait to the letter in later years. MT. Wicks was native of the city of New York, and today at II o'clock thither will hIs remains be taken. H CIV as 43 years of age, and leaves sister and brother to mourn his death. He was a member If the Elks, and it is especially re- luested of the members of that order hat they be present at the obse- luies at nine o'clock today and that hey also accompany the remains to he railroad. A beautiful tribute vas exended his memory today by hose of Mayer> With his remains here followed from Mayer to this city Jr and Mrs IOSanh Mavar Micc Mamie Mayer, Miss WinDie Mayer, Wilbur J. Mayer, wife and child, Jus Moe, Center Lusk, George Whit ng, William P Murphy, D aniel Bow n, MT. Brady and others. May he est in peace.

CASH EDITORIALS.

acceptance Of money by editors from
political candidates, on the ground
that it is perfectly legitimate-a mere
payment Tor services rendered-the

Is there anything so extremely. ex-
traordinarily unreasonable about an
editor receiving compensation for his
editorial expressions in somebody's
behalf?
Our answer would be, That de-
pends.n II there is no deception about
the matter; if it is clearly stated to
readers and fully understood by them
that the editor is under pay from the
candidate he supports, there can be no
objection. But il no such avowal is
made; if the reader has no knowledge
OF such an arrangement; if he is led to
believe that the good things said OF the
papers own candidate and the bad

RECENT DEATHS

Col. Joel G. Baker died at his home
in Rutland, June 5, after an illness of
several months from a breaking down
OF the nervous system. Col. Baker
was widely known lawyer and citi-
zen and during the civil war distin-
guished himself in the fall of Rich
mond by tearing down with his own
hands the Confederate flag waving
over the house OF jefferson Davis.
w. II. S. Whitcomb, one of Burlino
tons best known citizens, died in
Brooklyn, y. Y. June, l. He had
been in failing health for some six
months. He had spent the winter and
spring in the south, and had reached
Brooklyn on his way home when the
summons came. After a term of ser
vice in one OF the Burlington banks he
entered upon his lite work as agent
for the Equitable Assurance society
and built up an immense business, at
the same time gaining a very wide ac-
quaintance through Vermont and
Northern New York. He was 90 years
of age.

things said Of his rivals are not said to
the accompanying jingle OF coin, then
deception prevails and there is grave
objection.
There is no use in arguing that the re-
lation OF an editor 10 a candidate Is the
same as that of a lawyer 10 his client
the public does not so understand 1t.
The public believes-and likes to be-
lieye-that what it reads concerning
men and things are the honest, I'M
bought, yes, unbuyable opinions OF the
editor.
Equally useless is it to urge that a
publisher can accept gratuities Of any
kind from a candidate and vet pre-
serve the freedom and independence
Of his pen that his readers pay him for.
1t cannot be done.
Every editor can control his col
umns, using as much or as little space
as he pleases in the advocacy of any
body for office. If he accepts pay for
be prints, editorial or other
wise, he owes it to his readers TO state
the tact plainly, that they may allow
accordingly.

THE CLARENDON CAUCUS.


At the Burlington convention in
April, the town OF Clarendon, in Rut-
land county, furnished a contest that
revived interest in the bolt OF two
years ago. In that campaign, all the
members of the then town committee
went over to the local option party.
The Republican state committee APP
pointed new town committee and
agreed to recognize its acts as those of
the party organization of the town.
This committee called a caucus at
which delegates to Burlington We're
chosen. So did the old town commit
tee, Both delegations went, and the
state committee, acting on credentials,
seated the delegates elected by the
caucus called by the committee it had
appointed, after a vigorous debate be-
tween r. A. Lawrence and J. c. Jones,
representing the two factions.
The same town will provide another
contest for the coming state eonyen-
ton. The caucus in that town, held
last week, resulted in a tirst-class row,
and a split in which two sets OF dele
gates were chosen. The town COM
mittee recognized at Burlington called
the caucus, but warned only those Re-
publicans who supported the regular
ticket in 1902 to meet. This raised
storm, and when the caucus hour came
the former boilers were on hand in
such numbers as to make 1t clear that
they would control, If allowed to vote.
1t was a disorderly gathering, the
attempt to rule out the boilers being
met by most energetic protests. Two
chairmen took their places at the pre-
siding table and chaos ensued. Only
the presence OF deputy sheriff from
Rutland prevented black eyes and
bloody noses. Finally, the so-called
regulars withdrew and held a little
caucus OF their own, while the other
faction remained in the hall and chose
a delegation to Montpelier represent
inc the Clement idea.
This contest will come before the
state committee in a peculiar way.
In its call for the convention, this CON-
nittee declared that it would only rec
ognize delegates chosen at caucuses
He'd by the regular town committee s.
But there was nothing in the call to
Justify the action of the Clarendon
in trying to bar out the
'olters. and the state committee is not
likely to back up such action. A pol
cy like that would surely perpetuate
he split and disrupt the party.

The Middlebury Register presents a
table showing how, year by year, the
cost OF maintaining the states insane
has increased. The expense of the
Waterbury hospital, instituted in 1889,
has grown from s15,192.Sl the first
year to S115, 245.4s in 1902, a total for
the period of 81, 255, 2SS.92, including
cost of the plant. At the Brattleboro
retreat the state expended in 1871
sl3,06l.3 So; in 1902 SOL, 26474; in all
Sl,20l, 271.91 for the period. These
figures are stupendous. The state rec
ognizes its duty to care for the pauper
insane as they should be cared Tor, but
with no wastes or extravagancies in
management. The opinion is general
that there are leaks in the conduct of
the insane account that could be
stopped without any detriment to the
service. The Register suggests that
towns be required to bear a portion of
the expense OF the insane they commit
to the states care. We should dislike
to see this tried, if there are other
methods tending toward economy, for
the reason that towns would act mig
gardly in the matter and fail to CON-
NIT persons who should be sent to the
state hospitals on account OF the cost
they would entail. We see too much
of this spirit shown in other directions
already.
